Degree of Love

I can't communicate with them at all.

What's wrong with oppa Won Jun? The more I think about it the more he's making me mad.

Look at him, he's not even calling me.

What's Fricassée?

It's a cooking method where you sauté the meat and then braise it. You call that Fricassée.

Hong Ah

Hello, Hong Ah.

What are you doing? You must be cooking. Isn't it your day off today?

It is my day off. I came out to eat with Su Jeong.

Hong Ah, I'm hanging up.

You didn't even ask me why I called you.

Oh, you had a reason for calling? What is it?

I'll tell you in person.

- Is it okay? - Yes.

This wine goes well with it.

That's my specialty.

Who is it?

I'll be right back.

Hello, Oppa.

Hong Ah.

Hello, Eonni.

Hello.

I got bored working at home, so I came out.

I called Won Jun and he said he was eating.

Did I interrupt you guys?

Join us, I'll get a fork.

Su Jeong?

It's fine.

We can't date, if you don't end it with miss Hong Ah.

Eonni, am I someone to be resolved?

Hong Ah, this isn't right.

What?

I told you I'm out having dinner.

So, now is a time for me and Su Jeong. This was not planned.

Did you come in a car?

Yes.

I'll walk you to your car.

At least, you're coming out to see me out today.

Drive safely.

Are you the same Choi Won Jun I know? How could love change?

Love may change, but habits don't. What are you trying to accomplish by changing like this?

I know you usually come looking for me because you're bored and there's no one else to hang out with you.

But I think this time it's a little different. I think it's jealousy.

You know... as you know, oppa, I have severe ups and downs in my emotional states.

I was in love with Jeong Seon for four years.

I think it's because I became competitive with eonni Hyeon Su.

Because he wouldn't fall for me, my feelings for him got even more serious.

You're acting this way because of that competitiveness. Because you heard Su Jeong likes me.

You forgot all about Jeong Seon so quickly. You'll do the same thing with me.

Oppa, you're different than me. Why are you trying to be the same kind of person as I am?

Would you want to become someone like me?

Don't live like that.

Hello. This is Sik Sik.

It grew so prettily.

Every year, about this time of the year, it says hello saying, "You're doing well like me, right?"

So, I say, "Yes, I'm living well."

You should end it, too, CEO. Then, you'll know.

Whether it's real or not.

You're not going?

I'll stay overnight.

Your mom's surgery... what is it exactly?

Does her head need to be opened?

Yes.

They have to cut out the aneurysm and then connect the blood vessels.

It would be good, if she could get the surgery soon.

Why do you have to wait three months for a surgery?

It's a difficult surgery. It's because we want a really good doctor to do it.

And while we wait...

What if it ruptures while we wait?

Dad.

We can't just wait.

I'll look into it.

There's a doctor I got introduced to while doing an interview.

Oh, really? Great. Do I get to benefit having a daughter who's a writer?

I don't know yet.

Jeong Seon

Just a second, Dad.

Hello, Jeong Seon.

Is your mom alright?

She isn't doing so well.

Is she really ill?

I'll tell you later, I'm with my dad right now.

Okay then, but you must tell me later.

Okay.

Goodnight.

Goodnight.

Yes, thank you.

Dad, I'll do it.

It's fine. I do this all the time.

What did he say? Could he let her have her surgery sooner?

The doctor I know isn't here. He's gone to the U.S. for training.

What are we going to do?

I lived my whole life focused on your mother. So, I don't have a network of people I know.

It feels so weird being home during the day. Especially on a sick leave.

Eat.

What's wrong with him?

Isn't rice better than bread if you're taking medicine?

I'm used to eating bread in the morning, not rice. Are you not leaving?

I'll leave soon.

Go, do your work.

Nothing is going to be solved with both of us sitting here.

Mom... why are you so nonchalant?

Your dad...

What do I do?

Our plans got all twisted around.

Michelin evaluators have started appearing. One showed up at another restaurant.

I rejected the sea bass and vegetables because they were in poor condition.

I'll go buy some. Please take care of the kitchen, Hyeong.

All right then.

Would you like the wine menu?

Yes, can we have the wine menu and some sparkling water please?

I have brought you a new one.

Thank you.

The customer at table #10... I think he's a Michelin *evaluator.[ A restaurant guide that gives excellence stars every year ]

Nah... the Michelin evaluators don't let others know.

No, not this time. He dropped the knife on the ground.

He ordered wine and sparkling water separately.

I heard a rumor that the Michelin evaluators tend to do that.

Oh, really?

I've heard that, too.

In any case, we have nothing to lose.

Sorry for taking your time while you're working.

It's okay. I have to go into the office anyway because of the casting.

I asked my dad and he must be close to the director at Guk Il Hospital.

Do you want to move to that hospital?

I have to discuss with my dad about changing the hospital.

Tell CEO Park.

How can I?

What do you mean? Then, will you wait three months not doing anything?

Isn't Won Jun from a family of doctors?

Eonni, do you think all the doctors are connected? So frustrating...

Is it because of Jeong Seon, that you can't tell CEO Park?

No... I feel bad asking for a personal favor since those two are in a work relationship.

What are you sorry about?

This may be a difficult thing for you, Eonni. But for CEO Park, it would be an easy task.

Come to your senses, Eonni. I don't understand you at all.

Why are you dating Jeong Seon when you've got a man like CEO Park next to you?

I'll prepare your drink.

Did you finish your meal? Would you like me to bring you the next course?

Yes. Please, give us the next course.

What's the next course?

He hardly ate.

You cooked it on high temperature too quickly. Tell him we'll make a new one for him.

He's asking for the next course right away.

Didn't you say you think he's a Michelin evaluator?

You were trying too hard and made a mess of the whole thing. Your usual ability to cook is what Michelin star is looking for.

How was your meal?

Thank you.

Were they from Michelin?

I'm not totally sure. 50/50?

50%... that's a pretty high probability.

There's also 50% chance that they were not. Let's get to work!

Yes, Chef.

CEO Park, I've arrived.

How is it going?

I haven't gotten the answer yet. You're coming by almost every day.

They say the squeaky wheel gets the grease.

I met up with Hyeon Su on my way over here.

CEO Park, you're speechless all of a sudden.

Because I have nothing to say.

Her mother is sick.

It would be good if she got into surgery as soon as possible, but sounds like they have to wait.

She asked me for help,

But my family has no connection to Seo Wu Hospital.

I'm here.

Long time no see, Writer Ji.

How far did you get to in your script?

I wrote five episodes.

Then, hurry up and send them to us. Don't sit on them.

Gosh!

CEO, aren't you tired because of Writer Ji?

CEO, aren't you sick and tired of Director Min?

I'm having fun because of you two.

Chef On.

Writer Hwangbo, have this.

Is Hyeon Su inside?

She went out to meet her college seonbae.

She went to ask around because of her mother's surgery.

The surgery your mother is trying to receive... there are so many people on the waitlist.

Does it not taste good?

No, I just don't have an appetite.

Thank you, but I'll eat it later.

Why didn't you tell me that your mom needs surgery?

You're having a tough time with your work. I didn't want to add to your worry.

I'm disappointed.

There are lots of things you don't tell me either.

Do you want some tea?

Okay, give me some.

I wish my mom can get her surgery sooner. But I don't know anyone at Seo Wu Hospital.

Welcome, CEO Park. I get to see you because you have a reason to see me.

I'm sorry.

No need to be. I looked into what you asked me about.

Is there someone who could perform her surgery in a hurry?

There's a doctor who's returning from the U.S. after his sabbatical.

You're extremely lucky.

I wish my mom can get her surgery sooner.

But I don't know anyone at Seo Woo Hospital.

Take this to your mom. I heard onions are good for an aneurysm. It's onion soup.

Thank you. Do you want to come in?

No, I'm supposed to meet someone.

Medionplus Dental Clinic

What brings you here?

I came to ask for a favor.

What is it?

Do you know anyone at Seo Wu Hospital neurosurgery department?

There are lots of people I know. Most of my former college friends are now professors in that field.

Why? Who's sick?

I was wondering if I can help moving up my girlfriend's mother's surgery.

Your girlfriend?

Is it someone you want to marry?

You're too young to get married.

I'm not saying I'm getting married now. I'm asking if you can help arrange with the hospital.

If it's not someone you want to marry, why would I work so hard looking into the hospital?

Dad.

Thank you, CEO Park.

Thank you.

All the regular hospital rooms are full. So, I prepared a room you can stay in right away.

You need to fast starting tonight. [ Get well soon. CEO Park Jeong Wu of On Entertainment ]

We'll start your surgery tomorrow at 10 a.m.

Thank you.

How was it?

Yes, we're doing good.

Just ask, if you need anything.

I think you're doing too much for us.

I'm enjoying your citron tea. I think I haven't caught a cold because of that.

Make some more for me.

If you ask for it, I can make it for you any time.

Why is she in the VIP room?

I don't know either.

Oh, you're here.

I'll be leaving now.

Leaving so soon?

Who are you?

He's the CEO of your sister's company.

I'm Lee Yeon Yi, I'm her dongsaeng.

Rest well.

Thank you.

One moment.

CEO Park.

It's been a while.

Thank you.

I know.

My mom and dad... they're precious to me. I thank you again.

Enough with the thanks.

But we will move her hospital room.

Go ahead if you're uncomfortable.

I'm sorry.

Why do you keep saying "I'm sorry" and "thank you"?

I know.

All surgeries are a big deal. Take good care of her.

I'm leaving.

Has he left?

Why talk so casually about someone older than you?

He doesn't look that old.

Dad, let's move rooms.

Wouldn't CEO Park feel disappointed if we do that?

I don't think he would feel good if we refused his generous offer.

My relationship with CEO Park isn't worthy of receiving this type of hospitality.

We can pay for the hospital room.

It's really expensive. Do you have enough money?

I do. Why do you bring up money in this situation?

Sorry.

I have money saved up to go on a cruise.

I've been saving and saving, hoping to travel after we retire. I can spend that money.

I'll let your mom receive the best service.

Honey.

Without your mom,

I'm as good as dead.

Is this all for Hyeon Su's family? You're being so good to her.

This is all I can do for her.

You're being extremely good to her. How much better could you be?

Eonni.

Here.

Eonni, are you using the VIP room? The hospital bill is going to be so high.

- Hello. - Dad.

Hello.

You're here.

Mom's sleeping right now.

Jeong Seon brought over onion soup for Mom.

She enjoyed it very much the last time. Thank you.

Thanks for coming.

Of course I should come. You should've called me first if she got to receive her surgery.

Sorry.

What time is her surgery tomorrow?

10am.

Okay, go in and rest.

Let's go.

♫ The day I thought we were destined ♫

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

♫ In between the cut off film ♫

Yes.

CEO Park.

♫ The period mark was deeply set ♫

♫ Like being blind from longing ♫

I'm here.

Hello, you're here.

Come in, CEO Park.

I shouldn't have come.

Why are you saying that? So disappointing.

I know. We like you so much, CEO.

♫ I thought I’d be fine ♫

♫ Come let me love you ♫

I woke up early to make lunch boxes for five people,

to eat together.

But we can't eat together anymore.

♫ 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 ♫
