- What did you say?- If it's four times larger—

Omo, you're here.

Hello.

You gave an offer to this actress?

Of course we did.

What's with that? We work at the same company. How can you do that? That goes against business ethics.

How is that against business ethics?

But it's true. We offered her a role too.

She already has seven offers. Both you and I are just one of those offers.

Eonni, if you're like this, I cannot look at your project favorably.

How can you damage me like this?

Damage? What are you talking about?

Because you filled in for the drama that fell through, our dramas are airing at the same time.

Don't you think you should be sorry about that?

Hey, don't be unreasonable!

I knew you'd be like this.

If our projects coincide like this, I will get the short end of the stick.

I knew CEO Park will give you the advantage.

It's not like that.

What do you mean it's not like that?

If that were true, did you ever reject any of the benefits CEO Park extended to you?

You're being really harsh.

I need to talk to CEO Park.

Don't be like that to CEO Park because of me.

Don't act like you are sorry.

Eonni, remember how harshly you treated CEO Park.

How was I harsh to him?

You rejected him!

Eonni, have you ever been rejected by someone you love?

Do you know how painful that is?

Hello.

Is CEO Park in?

He hasn't come in today either.

CEO Park Jeong Wu.

Timing and Subtitles brought to you by The On Fire Penguins Team@ Viki

What brings you here?

Are you sick?

Why haven't you gone to work?

I've been working non-stop. I want to take a break.

Have you eaten yet?

No.

I'll make you something.

I will.

I don't want you to blame me later saying I ordered you around.

I won't.

I'll cook it.

- You cook too? - A bit.

How about you?

I am good at eating.

It's delicious.

CEO Park, what can't you do?

You have food on your mouth, like a kid.

I lived in this house until I was 12 years old,

before my father's business failed.

When I lived in this house, my parents argued a lot,

creditors came in and put red seizure stickers.

All kinds of bad things happened.

Why does it seem like I was happy?

Maybe because you were together...

with all the people you loved.

I thought trust is much more valuable than love.

I'll wash the dishes.

Leave it, I'll do it.

You can't. At least I have to do something for the meal.

Hello?

CEO Park, I need to talk with you.

When I told him about you, he set this up.

What's going on?

Don't you think my posture improved?

It's not bad.

Please, demonstrate with a proper posture for a change.

What is it that you want to talk about? Stalling like this.

♫ A stroke of cold wind ♫

♫ Did it even sway your heart ♫

I lied to you before.

Before...

I said that...

you're not my type.

You are my type.

♫ No, it hurts like crazy ♫

I lied again.

If I had. . . not met Jeong Seon again...

There are no ifs in life.

I'll make the choice whether I get deceived or not.

But it won't be easy to deceive me.

Aren't you uncomfortable to see someone doing things because you forced them to?

I am a bit like that. Flip-flopping.

I want to make a family.

Now, family is a choice I can make.

With you by my side... I think I can live happily.

Your problem is that you always overthink.

Especially when it comes to love.

Just go where your heart takes you.

How much longer will you stay alone, holding on to feelings without a concrete object. Stop now.

Holding onto a man you can't even meet. Your reality is me.

Are you scared of receiving affection?

Are you making fun of me?

If I feel that a thing I own will suit someone else more,

I can't keep it for myself,

because I'll keep thinking about that person.

I was also rejected before I came to Paris.

Her work was more important than love.

Oh, an ambitious woman. I like her.

Sometimes, people choose their companion for life based on trust.

I wanted to let you know that I am here.

Is this all?

You should get enraged when it is time to get enraged.

I am saying, I will take your woman away.

Love is between two people, not one-sided

Even if we fight each other to death, the result is not winning. Why must we have such a fight?

Yes, Chef.

- Make it medium rare.- Yes.

Hello.

When I came into the restaurant, you didn't acknowledge me,

so I thought you had forgotten me.

How could I forget you?

I am here because of the buzz after you getting the Michelin star.

You know how I like trendy places.

Yes, we will try our best.

Table 9, two lunch courses!

- Yes, Chef! - Yes, Chef!

Chef. For table 9...

What?

She's a notorious blogger, known for creating a fuss.

She made a reservation under a different name, so I wasn't able to catch on immediately.

Please, pay extra attention to the food.

Alright, I got it.

Mother.

I ordered the tea you like, Mother.

I don't want to drink Kenya AA today.

Order something else then.

Hyeon Su.

Yes?

I think you and I have many things in common.

I've broken up with Daniel now.

But I'm seeing Jeong Seon again.

Then, I am the only one who broke up with my lover?

Is he not going to Hong Kong?

He isn't.

He didn't tell me me he wasn't going after all.

Till now, I thought he was in Hong Kong.

I am really disappointed.

My pain from the breakup, I didn't share it with him and was trying to hold it in all by myself.

How can he be like this to his mom?

It was too chaotic.

He had to take care of not going to Hong Kong and Good Soup too—

Why are you making excuses for him? This is regarding my son.

Mother...

Dating younger men is what we have in common.

So what?

I am saying we need to comfort each other during times of hardship.

That's something people who have things in common can do for each other.

How is that you're so good with your words?

You're good with your words too.

I can't win an argument against Jeong Seon.

His being good with his words, he takes after you.

But Daniel is too strange.

We had fun until the day before.

What did he say when he was breaking up with you?

He said he was scared, he couldn't break up with me in person.

That's the note he left.

That's the worst.

It's not the worst.

There were worse bastards than him.

I want to go to Professor Min's school and make a scene,

but since he wrote "I am scared to break up with you in person," I cannot bring myself to do that.

Then, what will you do from now on?

When did I really ask him for money?

He said he's annoyed because I asked for money.

Then the reason for breaking up is money.

If you're annoyed, you don't want to stay with that person.

In the end, it was about money.

Why do people care about money so much?

What is it about mere money?

Mother.

Yes?

When I was an aspiring writer, I got paid 800,000 won (≈$700) per month.

It was my younger sister who gave me the hardest time at that time.

I am saying money wins over blood relations.

Who's paying for the tea today?

Usually, people who asked to meet should be the one to pay.

But since you're in an emergency crisis, I should pay.

Hyeong!

Do you know how worried I was when I heard that you stayed home for several days?

When you're worried, all you did was to give me a call once?

I was afraid to make it tiresome for you.

Hyeong, you told Hyeong Hong Jin that you won't approve of hiring an external cameraman.

Why? This project is mine but also Hyeon Su's.

Have you forgotten about Hyeon Su?

How could I forget her?

Right, so you'll approve it?

Nope.

Hyeong.

Don't get in.

What's going on, Hyeong? Why are you being like this? It's me, Jun Ha.

I know that you're Jun Ha.

I am so sick and tired of cleaning up after you guys.

Hyeong!

It's 197,000 won (≈$180)

I guess you need to get some more training from your manager.

My next column will be about Good Soup.

Excuse me.

What's wrong?

She didn't pay.

I better tell Chef about it.

You really are here?

How could you do that?

Why do I have to hear through Hyeon Su that you haven't left for Hong Kong?

It's fine as long as you heard it through Hyeon Su.

I was holding myself back from contacting you again and again because I didn't want to worry you.

We never had that type of relationship in which we tell each other everything.

It's not just everything. It was something big.

Why didn't you go?

Don't tell me you gave up because of Hyeon Su?

Yes, that's right.

What's wrong?

Professor Min moved out.

Do you really like Hyeon Su that much?

Enough to give up on a good opportunity?

Yes.

Why haven't I met such a man like that till now?

Aren't I prettier than Hyeon Su? Even if I am older now?

Mom?

I got married at the tender age of twenty seven. I thought I had a rosy future ahead.

My so-called husband demanded that I obey his words no matter what.

Even the neighborhood puppy can go where he wants.

Here you go again.

Every time after you break up with a man.

I really listened to the men...

and catered to their needs.

Why do they leave me?

It seemed like Hyeon Su was the one who asked to break up,

but you held onto her.

Why do men always leave me and they never try to hold on to me?

Did you tell Hyeon Su that?

I didn't. I have my pride too.

It's embarrassing.

You're my son. You already have seen me at my lowest.

I'm sleeping here tonight.

Apart from the main characters, did you make a list of all the casting for the supporting characters?[ Yeon Wu role for "Kind Soup"]

Yes, I did.

- Oh, seriously. I am pissed! - Why?

Hyeong Jeong Wu has become weird. He must be out of it.

Hyeong can't act like that towards me.

- He said no to the external camera?- He said no.

You should try to go talk to him. Ah, never mind.

I even mentioned you but he wouldn't budge.

How about our casting? Will Hong Ah's side take Choi Ra Jun?

I spoke with the CEO of Choi Ra Jun's agency. They want to see the script for the next episode too.

Does that mean we have a chance too?

I think it would be fine as long as we agree to their terms.

Licensing for the foreign markets, their share in drama related merchandise—

CEO Park could make that happen.

You know how to talk to CEO Park.

I will go talk to him. I cannot have others take her.

I guess you're taking a break. But you shouldn't be relaxing like that.

You really shouldn't be like this now, Writer Ji.

We've met with the CEO from Choi Ra Jun's agency and he said she's up for the project as long as her conditions are met. Have you heard about it?

Hallyu Star Choi Ra Jun, special meeting with star writer Kim Yun Kyeong

Choi Ra Jun's side is famous for pulling something like that.

What are we going to do now?

You need to focus on your work, Writer Ji.

From now on, pestering me like this won't be acceptable.

Are you angry at me?

No.

But you've changed.

The entertainment industry makes products in order to make people happy.

So?

It's about how I treated myself.

Right, can you leave now? I want to listen to some music.

I really can't get used to your being like this, CEO.

Please, don't change, CEO Park. I don't like changes.

It reminds me of an oppa I know.

I'm not late, am I?

You're not.

When I asked about watching a late night movie together, why did you say no?

It's time for us to come to a decision. We've done enough giving this a try.

Whatㅡ

I thought we are dating.

When you asked to give this a try, that was to put me under less pressure, isn't it?

I wanted to treat you well. Was I lacking?

No, it was more than enough.

That's a relief.

That's why I have decided for us to not date anymore.

What do you mean?

You are trying so hard with me.

Like how you tried to become a sous-chef.

Even if you don't treat me too well, some things happen naturally, do you know?

I am sorry. I won't treat you well from now on and let things happen naturally.

That is why I like you.

Still, this won't do regarding Hong Ah.

I want to continue working at Good Soup. Would it be uncomfortable if I stay there?

If it's uncomfortable for you, I should quit.

I'm Su Jeong the sommelier.

I'm Choi Won Jun, the sous-chef.

Why are you here late at night instead of sleeping?

I haven't seen you today.

I met your mom today.

- I know, I was kicked out by my mom. - Why?

She claimed my bed and said she's not going home.

It's suffocating to stay in the same space with my mom.

What?

Then where are you going to sleep tonight?

I'm looking for a place right now.

Kyeong is in my house.

Eonni, are you not sleeping?

I'm going to sleep now. Don't come out!

- Eonni? - Yes? [ Mom ]

I am going to bed.

Is she not answering?

I think I need to go home.

I'll come too.

No, you view my mom in a positive light. Just keep seeing her like that.

- Call me.- Yeah.

Mom!

Oh, don't shake me.

I should have only taken one,

I couldn't sleep so I took two. That's why I am like this.

Well done.

I was afraid you might worry, so I hung up while calling you.

I was somehow going to deal with this alone.

You really are something. Calling me when you shouldn't be calling and not calling me when you should be calling me.

- Jeong Seon. - Yes?

I really want to change.

I'm tired of living like this.

I was alright until I was twenty seven years old.

No, I was fine until I was thirty-five.

Wasn't I?

Don't you remember me?

I remember.

I was alright, wasn't I?

No, you were the best then.

I'm sorry.

I'm sorry.

I wish you would be happy, Mom.

If I could, I wish I could do it for you.

But I am not enough.

Hello?

Do you have time today?

I'm free during my break time.

I will be there later.

A relationship out of obligation, tends to be more tenacious than one out of affection.

Let's settle the relationship out of obligation today.

If I feel that a thing I own will suit someone else more,

I can't keep it for myself because I'll keep thinking about that person.

That sounds cheesy even now when I hear it again.

You need to get hit once by me today.

Then will our relationship out of obligation be settled?

Do you want to get hit first and hear it or hear it first and then get hit?

I want to hear it first and, if I can avoid it, I don't want to get hit.

♫ Can I love you? ♫

♫ Can I softly hug you? ♫

Degree of Love~ Preview ~

I wanted to try to shake you once. I thought once you are swayed, you might change.

You don't have to worry about me anymore. I will no longer bother you guys.

You just dropped me off and you're here again.

I miss you again and again.

Why do you like me?

I will protect you till the end of the world so you won't lose yourself.

I can't end it. I must have loved him.

Are you going to carry on crying?

Should I just leave right away?

Do you think you two will get married?

I have something to say.

♫ Then I was colored with a white light ♫
