Gentlemen, you've been waiting...

I present to you the life of the party at our club!

Oxygen Kids!

We'll do our best!

-Give us a buzz. -Yes, sir!

Yeah, good.

In the smoke hanging around in the air

I see you dressed up in the mirror. Hit it!

...has been forgotten

Flickering candlelight in the heat of love

Makes me feel miserable beyond bearing

Hey, what do you think of her? Isn't she cute?

Just say it. I can help you get one last night before you marry.

Hold on.

Hey. Come here and fill our glasses.

What are you doing?

W-What do you think you're doing?

She's not that kind of girl! We only sing.

Oh, I see.

How much?

How much are you for one night?

What? You bastard...

Hey Jaejoon Park! What's wrong with you?

Are you okay?

I knew you're a money-grubber, but you even came to Korea to do this?

Aren't you ashamed of yourself?

What's wrong with doing this?

I earn my money fair and square. Is there something wrong with that?

So you'll keep doing any jobs for money?

Of course.

Then take the money and get out of my sight.

Hey, Hey! What's your problem?

Do you know him?

He's the man I dated for hire in Kaohsiung.

What?

Excuse me. Wait!

Mr. Jaejoon Park, wait!

Take this back.

I told you, I receive the money I worked for only.

I don't need this money.

Esol, we got a call from Room 3.

Hey, don't make a mistake this time. Do it right.

Okay! We'll do our best!

She's not done with my call.

So you receive money for your work only?

I'm paying for your time. Sing only for me tonight.

Don't go. You don't have to.

No. Take care of Room 3.

Let's go.

What's wrong with you?

Do you have leftover feelings for him?

No. Otherwise, I wouldn't have received his money.

I have no reason to refuse a generous client.

Hey, Esol! Esol Kang!

Hey! Ladies in Room 3 are waiting for you. Come on!

Take a look. It's our kids' wedding gift.

Oh goodness! You prepared this already?

You sure are a woman with drive.

I found a vacant site in Qingdao Health Complex, so I seized on it.

Upon Mr. Park's approval, I'll start the construction of a hospital with 500 beds.

Can you time the completion to coincide with the wedding?

Certainly.

It can be finished within 3 months with Mr. Park's support.

But if he invests in TNC first, our plans will be over.

Don't worry.

I've got a high card to ruin Minjoon and Lena Jeong.

You mean, you met Sungsoo Kim?

Of course.

I'm contemplating over how to use the card.

You're really amazing.

With the completion of the hospital building,

all our efforts for 20 years will bear fruit.

Since you got barely pregnant with...

Watch your mouth.

You promised to take it to the grave.

Like fish taking the bait, a man's ruin lies in his tongue.

Watch what you say.

I'm sorry. I think I was too excited.

If things go well this time, life will treat Jaejoon very well.

He will live the most splendid life in the world. Just watch.

And of course, Yura will be his life partner.

Why yes. She's taking bridal lessons to be a perfect wife.

Let's drink. Drink.

Let's drink and die.

Now, now. Come with me. It's finally your turn.

Are you nuts? I told you I won't.

Come on. Your fans are looking forward to seeing you.

Just arrived from the dance tour in Kaohsiung, Diva Yura Seo! Let's go!

I can't.

I'm getting married. If my face is exposed, I'm finished!

Sister, please! Help upgrade the level of the club.

Please take the floor.

Help me please. Let's go.

I can't!

I can't. You curly haired...

I'll take her place.

So you're not Seo Yura, but Esol Kang.

I finally learned your real name today.

Have a drink.

I don't drink with a client.

Any special song you want to listen to?

Just any song.

I really didn't know

that love is like glass...

It shines beautifully,

but it is so fragile...

Now the broken pieces

of my love

tear into my heart,

giving me unbearable pain...

Sadness can be forgotten,

but scars are indelible...

Even though enough time has passed,

they will be still there...

My dear love,

Just remember this...

My soul once deeply in love

Is now in a dark shadow...

Enough.

I didn't fill the time yet.

It's okay. You may leave.

Must you do this job?

Doesn't it hurt your pride to sing before drunken people?

Sometimes, there are things to come before my pride.

Thank you for today.

You'll develop pizza menus first?

Yes. Ms. Jeong will take the lead in reinforcing the low in sales first.

By the way, I heard she caused a huge publicity effect?

Is it true customers surge in to see Ms. Jeong?

The power of media.

It's transient though. We'll ensure substance.

She's no ordinary woman.

I don't know how her life has been so far, but she's such a blessing to you.

Be good to her, okay?

I put my trust in her.

Minjoon, you know how I feel for you.

I married again and sent you abroad after you lost your mother.

I feel sorry to you in many aspects.

I don't mind, Father.

Open several more branches in Korea. It'll mend your Chinese market.

I will readily support your advance to Shanghai.

I'll support you to the last penny in my safe.

Gallery Ha?

Yes. I mentioned it to Director Ha.

A few of her paintings will do as your wedding gifts.

She's a rising star so if her paintings go up in value, it'll all go to the kids.

Are you sure? There are other family members.

Qingdao Hospital is our priority.

Forget the presents and just focus on that.

My legs are killing me.

I'm exhausted. Oh welcome, welcome.

I think I'm old now.

I used to be ready to go shopping at any time of the day or night,

...but today my legs hurt, so I stopped shopping in 8 hours.

Changsoo, bring them now.

-Here you are. -Okay. That's it.

What are all these catalogs?

-They're not for you. -All luxury brand names.

They are for...Dr. Choi, take these with you.

They are for your reference in preparing wedding gifts.

Pardon me?

Mom.

Be quiet. You need a third person to handle this matter smoothly.

Right. Since you are busy, we went around and made a list.

You can just prepare what she designates. Right, Mom?

Yes.

Let's see... Here, here.

Oh, here they are. I want these fur coats for Heera and me.

The fur's from Finland and they're handmade by an Italian specialist.

So lustrous. When I tried this on, it made me look a rich madam.

And take a look at this. This! The diamond.

It's a 3-carat pink diamond.

There are only three in Korea. Don't miss the chance.

And these are for the memberships of the top hotel and...

...and a golf club.

Mom, please stop. It's not your wedding.

I'll take care of everything, so just stay out of this matter.

The way you talk. I'm your mother. Don't tell me what to do.

Ask other people if I am wrong.

Look, my grandson Jaejoon is a promising doctor.

He's the best catch in Korea.

He's born to a rich family, he's smart, he's tall...what else?

He's handsome and gentle like me.

Moreover, he's a moneymaking plastic surgeon. He's like a prime beef.

Exactly!

I've read in the news that a doctor's mother demanded $15 million for dowry.

Compared to her, we are decent folks, like ladies and gentlemen.

Ladies and gentlemen?

-You're home. -Hello, Mr. Park.

What is this?

It's a list.

List of wedding gifts.

Health club and golf club memberships? Hang it.

You already counted your chickens before they are hatched.

Oh my. Son-in-law, you shouldn't say like that.

I picked the finest cashmere coat for you. Cashmere from Inner Mongolia.

Although it'll be too long for you.

Enough.

Mother, please stop being nosy and keep your dignity.

Okay, fine!

He's so cheap and nasty! I don't need a gift!

Goodness!

You know, do as you like.

A woman's married life depends on what she prepared as wedding gifts, right?

I'll leave it at your discretion, okay?

Sure, Mother.

I'm sorry. You know she's immature.

She's over 70 and she still can't act her age...

What's wrong with this?

I have no face to see you. I always feel sorry and thankful.

It's not your fault.

Sorry for being petty. I'll try to be nicer to her.

Is Minjoon doing okay with the business?

Absolutely!

Lena Jeong is something.

Sales have been up since she was on air.

IF they keep this up, I can push them into Shanghai right away.

That fast?

Fast? 'Catch it while you have the chance.'

Then what about the construction of Qingdao Hospital for Jaejoon?

The only problem with him is he's weak-hearted.

He needs to learn the hard way. Don't make this a big deal just yet.

I'll support him after Minjoon.

She's no ordinary woman.

I don't know how her life has been so far but she's such a blessing to you.

I became a cook thanks to my mom.

I still can vividly remember the taste of her food.

You have many scars on your hand.

They're from cooking.

I started cooking when I was 16.

I learned cooking to survive.

Does Menu Development Team work overtime again?

Yes. It's been three days.

All right.

Here comes pizza.

The spicy chicken, too.

Everyone have a taste.

It's hot. The spicy taste balances with greasy pizza.

I know. I feel the stress falling away already.

You're the best.

I think this is perfect, Team Manager.

We're not renewing the menu to make trash like this.

Do it again even if it takes all night long.

What? Trash? Do it again?

You're being audacious with the chairman behind you.

I'm a founding member of TNC. A founding chef unlike you!

Founding chef?

Is it some license to get a paycheck from TNC?

If you're not able, make efforts to improve or quit the company!

What? How dare. Hey!

-Chef Na, please calm down. -Let go!

Are you done talking?

Why should I quit? You quit the company.

I know you're trying to find fault with me to take control over us.

But no one will fall for that here.

It's you who should quit the job!

I find fault with you and it's me who should quit?

Do you agree with her?

You know what? I have no desire to quit.

Mark my word. We'll have the judging contest on menus this week.

So you better do your job to develop the right menu.

If you fail again, you'll all be fired.

Chef Na, what should we do?

That wench. Stop there!

Then you develop one. Let's taste what you make!

Are you leaving work now?

Why'd you come now?

Did something happened?

It can't be worse. Ms. Jeong said she'll fire us all.

Ne Ne Ne Ne Ne Ne Ne Ne

She's a beggar! She's a beggar!

She's an orphan! She's an orphan!

Are you okay?

Oh. You're here?

My hand slipped when I was working on menus.

They will be harsher to you.

It's natural they reject you.

Why don't you slow down until they get to know you better?

I can't.

We must put out good menus when the business is on track.

New menus should be released this week.

But aren't you short on time?

If we work overnight, we can do it.

Why do you work so hard?

You're like a workaholic without a personal life.

You asked me to be your partner to achieve your dream.

I want to keep that promise.

Then my dream will come true too.

What is your dream?

My dream?

Well.

Even if it's once, to rise high, so I'll be respected

...and live as a decent human being.

Guess life was tough on you.

How was your life so far?

Pardon?

You told me to keep my personal and business affairs separate.

I don't want to bring up my private life at work.

Let's go.

You look very tired. You better not drive today.

Don't make this a big deal just yet.

I'll support him after Minjoon.

No. I can't accept that.

Chef Na? It's me.

There's something I want to discuss with you. Can we meet tomorrow?

It's about Lena Jeong.

You woke up?

I'm sorry I dozed off. Did you go somewhere?

You snored loudly, so I escaped for a while.

Did I?

Take this.

It's spicy rice cake?

You eat spicy food to relieve your stress.

Get a good sleep tonight.

You may come late to work tomorrow.

No. I have to find the spicy wings sauce...

It's an order.

Come late to work tomorrow.

Why are you...

...this nice to me?

Because you're my partner to realize my dream.

Okay, done.

Uncle Hur! Youngoo! Come for tasting!

Okay!

Kimbap, I trust you. Bring in a lot of money.

Kimbap in the middle of the night? Is it for a night snack?

Taste this.

From tomorrow morning, I'm going to sell kimbap to commuters at the subway.

Mom used Chinese bean paste to make one of a kind Kaohsiung style kimbap.

Have a taste. You too, Youngoo.

Kaohsiung style kimbap?

It tastes incredible.

Really?

If you sell this kimbap...

you'll be on breaking news tomorrow morning.

Right. There's been no kimbap that tastes like this.

Really? Is it that good?

Look, it's not that.

This is a murder weapon.

It's going to kill lots of commuters tomorrow.

Yangsoon, I beg you.

Even if we live without much, we shouldn't harm other people.

From this day, forget about selling kimbap.

Is it that terrible?

It's okay with me.

Actually, everything tastes good to me.

My stomach!

My stomach is twisting and rumbling, I think I've got to drop a deuce!

You shouldn't poo here. Run to the bathroom.

-Okay. -Run!

See? It's already killing a boy.

Stop. What should I do then?

I can't just sit at home and receive my kid's hard-earned money.

I really don't want to let Esol work at a bar.

Don't worry too much. She only sings there.

Look, dealing with drunken men is no joke.

You never know what will happen.

If I didn't have chronic backaches, at least I could be a maid...

All mighty is the dollar.

It's hard to be good parents without money these days.

Yang-soon, don't worry. I'll find a way to make money.

I'm out of breath.

They didn't let me go.

Fiery Friday and Golden Saturday in Korea.

They party like crazy.

How was your client?

Nothing happened, right?

Nothing. I sang only one song, but he paid me generously.

Maybe I looked pitiful.

Hey, hey! You're popular!

Oxygen Kids! Call for you from Room 5.

It most definitely Fiery Friday and Golden Saturday. Let's go.

Come on.

Go home first.

Dongoo.

You look very tired.

Don't ride your scooter. Take a taxi home.

Why are you being like this!

I can go another round.

You were having a hard time by yourself, let's go together.

We can earn a month's rent with one more go.

Just go when I tell you!

I hate to see you sing with that face.

Listen to me. Please go home.

Go home. Take a taxi, okay? Go home.

This jerk! There you are.

Hey, it's me who should be mad at you.

Come on, let's go!

No, I'm not interested.

It's the show time. The legendary club queen is here.

Let's have fun. You're going to marry soon.

It's now or never.

Right. Come on, friend. Let's have fun.

All right. Let's have fun.

-Yeah! -Let's go! Let's go!

Excuse us.

At last, the Diva came back. She's the legendary club girl.

She hung around clubs since high school days so her parents sent her abroad.

She's still good.

-Wish I could go out with her just once. -Me, too.

But can a girl like her get married?

I feel bad for her future husband.

Don't worry. Such playgirls are good at playing innocent and marry well.

Really?

Where are you going? Park Jaejoon!

Jaejoon?

Jaejoon! Jaejoon! Jaejoon! Jaejoon!

Jaejoon! Jaejoon!

Jaejoon! Don't go Jaejoon!

Let go! Let go of me!

Mom, I'm leaving now.

I'll be home after a job interview at a restaurant.

Don't worry.

Mr. Jaejoon Park?

Are you okay?

Wait. I'll go ask for help.

Don't go. I'll be alright soon.

I'm sorry but can you take me to the hospital...

Help! Somebody help! Somebody!

Will he be okay? It's not serious?

We need to check him first.

He said he felt heavy and couldn't breathe. Then he fainted.

He'll be okay, right?

We'll check him.

Yeah, this is true healing.

My life will be like a desert without you.

Thanks, my oasis.

What's this? So many hits.

'Fan cam. The Return of Dancing Diva'

Dancing Diva? Let me see.

Hold on...

Who's this? It can't be...

...my daughter!

Is she crazy?

Again?

Get out. I need to study.

Oh, okay.

Wait.

Why are you flustered? It's not the first time you were caught.

I'm not flustered.

Let me see.

No.

Give it to me!

No! Over my dead body.

One, two!

But...

Yura?

Is she crazy?

I'm back.

Honey, honey.

Where have you been?

Huh? Well...

I told you I had a cooking lesson at Mrs. Lee's house.

Did you? You look so tired today.

Oh. I learned something difficult like Stir-fried seafood, vegetables and beef...

Some Chinese cuisine.

Mom!

What?

You impossible brat. Today it's the end for both of us!

Die, you brat!

Honey, stop! You're going to kill her.

What's wrong with you?

Hey, you should've gone overboard. Your dancing video is on the internet.

Mom...Mom, forgive me.

Please forgive me just once. Please, Mom.

Bring me scissors.

Scissors? What for?

I have no choice. She runs wild like a rabid dog.

I have to lock her up and domesticate her.

Bring me scissors now. One, two!

Mom! Mom...Mom, please. Don't touch my hair.

My hair is everything to me. Don't shave my head. Have mercy.

Right. She can't marry bald-headed.

Come with me.

We have to report it to Cybercrime Squad so your in-laws can't see. Hurry!

Too late. It's over!

Jaejoon saw me dance, in the front row!

Honey, are you okay?

Find Jaejoon. Find him and shut him up!

-Profitable Sideline? -Yes.

Father, what's Profitable Sideline?

I've had red bean fish bread, but I've never heard of that before.

Oh, is it kind of bread?

No, it's not that. This is the place I will work at.

They'll give me work to do, so I'll work hard day and night.

You are really amazing.

There are a lot of jobless people, but you got a job. You're the best.

Do you think I'm great?

Of course. There's nothing you cannot do.

You're frugal, kind, handsome...

...and you sing and dance well too.

I'll become a man like you when I grow up.

No! There are better people in this world, don't become like me!

-Not even in your dreams! -Father!

Youngoo!

Brother!

You're back. You must be tired.

Doctor, is he okay?

The CT result shows he's normal.

Then why...?

I think it's from stress.

He should see a psychiatrist for precise causes.

Where am...?

The hospital. Are you okay?

No, you have stay in bed until you finish this.

Where's my car key?

Are you going to drive in that condition? The doctor said you might want to...

I know my own body.

Thank you for today.

Oh.

What is this?

I took up your time so you couldn't work. I want to pay for it.

You're going too far. Is this how the rich behave?

'Will he be okay? What if he has a serious disease? Something happened to him?'

I feel pathetic for having worried about you.

Keep the money.

I helped you out of concern for you, not for money.

Take good care of yourself.

I'm sorry. I didn't mean to...

It's fine.

We won't see each other again so forget everything.

Ms. Esol Kang!

Excuse me.

Wait! Wait!

Wait. Wait.

They said I should dab the face as many times as my age.

1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17...

Good morning. What's wrong? Why are you slapping your face?

This is the secret of my baby face. Elasticity! Now it firmed up.

Hey! Hurry, go get changed.

Why? Are we going somewhere?

We're going to see Dr. Seo.

I need Botox shots and skin treatment.

The engagement of Jaejoon is in two days. I should prepare for it.

Then what treatment should I receive?

You're my son. Perfect for every occasion.

-Changsoo. -Yes?

You didn't have double eyelids?

Oh no. Your eyes are slanted. Should we go make some?

Wow, it's shepherd's purse soup!

It's bland. Didn't you taste it?

Dr. Seo asked me to make low-sodium foods for your blood pressure.

Hang it. It's too bland to eat. How can I eat this?

Just eat. Step-mother prepared the soup from early in the morning.

Did you?

Then I'll eat it for your effort.

Thank you.

I heard from your father you will launch into Shanghai soon.

Yes. If this project goes well, it'll be successful.

Of course. The menu renewals must be important then.

Yes. Ms. Jeong does her best. I'm sure we'll have a good result.

Really? Your father has great expectations of you. Good luck.

Thanks.

Jaejoon, why a long face?

Huh? I have a headache.

Always sick. How much did you drink yesterday?

I told him to hang out with his friends before he get married.

Are you feeling okay?

Yeah.

Such a weakling.

When Minjoon and I were at your age, we could drink gallons of liquor.

You can't succeed with that mentality.

You need to restart from the bottom.

No. I failed again. This isn't the taste I want.

Take this. You eat spicy food to relieve your stress.

Get a good sleep tonight.

You may come late to work tomorrow.

Why are you this nice to me?

Because you're my partner to realize my dream.

Yes, Mr. Park.

I'll do my best to assist you. Rise higher and higher.

Then I can rise with you on your wings.

Good morning.

Where's everybody? Didn't Chef Na and Mr. Oh come to work yet?

They took a day off.

What?

To screw me over?

Ask the head office to add staffs.

Good morning.

Come with me.

I'm sorry. If it's not urgent, let's do it later.

I have to develop...

It's urgent. Follow me.

What's your business with me?

Just answer to my questions.

What? What the.

This.

This is...

I know your relationship with Lena Jeong.

Tell me how you got to know her and what she offered you.

Listen, ma'am.

If you tell me a lie, I'm going to make you go out of business.

But if you tell me the truth, I'll reward you handsomely.

What a fresh air.

This is too much. I clearly told you...

...I'm short on time for the judging contest next week.

I can't waste time like this when everybody's uncooperative.

And who will take responsibility?

Sir!

He's so.

Drink water and cool down.

Drop me off at the bus stop after lunch. I must get back to work.

No problem.

-Enjoy it. -Thank you.

This is...

You're right...

This restaurant is not known to gourmets. Taste it.

This is not it either?

I need to see the owner.

Why? Should we look for another place?

This is the very taste I want. The very spicy taste of fire and savor.

I will find out the secret formula.

She's really impetuous.

So is this regarding Lena Jeong?

Feel free to speak. I'll do anything to kick her out.

I want to make this clear.

I have no hard feelings against her.

But my woman's intuition tells me that something's off.

It might be dangerous to keep her by Minjoon's side.

So this meeting should stay between us.

Of course. What's the problem?

I heard she leads the renewal of our menus...

...starting from pizza menus. Is it true?

Yes. She's all over us to develop new menus.

She rejected my new menus four times and even threatened to fire everyone.

My goodness. She's going too far.

How could she say that to the founding member?

You must be stressed out.

She'll drive the company to ruin. We must kick her out.

So I'm thinking...

...if you can give me the recipe of her secret pizza.

The secret formula for sauce?

Yes. It's the taste I want. I want to learn from you.

If you let me know, I'll reward you.

Boy.

Please help.

Our restaurants are far in distance so we have no reason to compete.

Please tell me. I beg you, sir.

You're really annoying. It's been two hours already.

I will trim all these for you.

If you don't tell me, I'll pester you overnight,

...even for days.

You're really tenacious. Do you really want to know?

Yes. Please tell me.

Follow me.

Thank you!

Here is the secret.

Sorry? Where?

Go in and catch a hen.

I'm sorry?

I can't. I cook chicken, but I can't catch a living hen.

You can't? Then forget about it.

Wait.

If I catch a hen, will you really tell me the secret?

You're so doubtful. Just go in.

Don't.

You might get hurt.

Sir, let's talk with me.

Catch a hen. And I'll tell you the secret.

Then I'll do it.

No. This is my job.

Ms. Jeong!

Let her do it.

I got it!

Alright. Let's see who's going to win.

This is the pizza you asked about.

Each piece has different toppings.

It's recently developed. It's patented as well.

This is the recipe.

Rainbow Pizza?

Yes. This is it.

It's dangerous. Just come out!

I got it.

Sir, I got it!

I got it.

Now tell me the secret formula of your sauce. What is it, sir?

It's in your hands. That's it.

Sorry?

The hen raised on the farm.

The meat is juicy enough to absorb all sorts of seasons.

What's the use of making good sauce? The key is the meat.

Mr. Park.

Good job.

Thank you. Thank you, sir.

Mister, here you are.

Thank you.

Wait. One second.

A present.

Thank you.

Seems you like children.

Give me your hands.

It's okay.

Is it your wedding ring?

Your wife must be happy to have an attentive husband.

I read an article that you met her in America and married there.

You're waiting for her to finish her study, right?

Why are you still single?

Well.

Somehow I lived my life and remained single.

Oh, I'm bleeding.

Seems the hen pecked at you.

Let me see?

Jaejoon, my only child.

I can do anything and everything if it's for you.

Anything.

Alright, ma'am. What shall I tell you first?

Yes. With this, I can finish both Minjoon and Lena Jeong.

[Subtitles Provided by MBC]

I worked frantically to grasp something. Aren't I like a crazy woman?

Minjoon always has his own way!

How dare you cause a riff between brothers!

This notebook's waiting for its owner.

How are you?

Can you make me a star?

Minjoon Park was a ladder for my success.

I can't help, but reveal the truth in 28 years.

How dare you threaten me with this?

I've endured for 30 years. I can't back off here.

My life will end up in failure.

That'll never happen. I'll be by your side.

Why is my heart racing?
