Original subtitles

Honey, have some. It'll taste better with cabbage.

Looks really inviting!

My mouth is already watering. Smells good.

Oh, it's yucky. What's this bad smell?

Mom!

Oh my. How could you eat fast-fermented bean paste stew from the morning?

Suppose your shirt reek of bad smell. It'll repel your employees.

Mom! If you don't like it, have a separate meal.

That's what I had in mind.

It stinks like terrible foot odor so how can I possibly eat here?

Look, make sizzling rice soup with salted pollack roe on the side.

Season it with chopped scallion and sesame oil.

Bring it to my room.

Yes, ma'am.

What strong stomachs you have.

Dang it!

Can't I even have my favorite food at home?

I'm sorry. Please eat.

Minjoon! What the heck was with you?

You didn't answer dozens of my calls yesterday and now you turn up?

I'm sorry.

Father, we're at breakfast.

Shut it! Breakfast is not important now.

What was in your mind to sign that expensive advertising contract?

You decided not to go with it, but then why did you change your mind?

What was the reason?

Like I said, TV ads are most effective.

We had no choice to restore the image of...

You want to drive the company to ruin for the image?

You clearly told me the day before yesterday that you'd consider other ways.

But then you went back on your word...

...and poured money into airing commercial on Healing Recipe?

Please just leave it to me.

I'll see to the rainbow pizza-related matter.

Excuse me for leaving first.

How dare...

Something must've possessed him to do that.

While sales are going down, why should we waste money?

There must be some reasons.

Jeong Heeyon's Healing Recipe?

It's an NBC program.

Something's fishy. He's not a guy to do a sloppy job.

I'm getting along with Mr. Chung like this.

Oh. You should've told this story on the air.

How could I have?

Then Heeyon Jeong would've distorted my intention.

I'd rather give up shooting.

No! It's important to you. Show up and tell the truth.

You're such a nice person but...

Oh, wait. Let me show these pictures to NBC staffs.

Then just stay by my side.

That alone will be a great help to me.

How are you?

Your dress today?

Excuse me?

Bring it to my dressing room.

Why?

"Why?" Are you saying you can't?

No, it's not that but...

Too modest.

My face might look dark under lighting. Show me another.

Yes, ma'am.

I brought my dress.

Good.

I checked it since you overdressed last time.

Now you know your place.

Wait.

I'm not done yet.

You're a novice in this field, so I'll give you a few warnings.

First, don't even dream of making a lousy joke like the other day.

I won't accept you beneath my show.

Second, don't talk too much and just answer my questions.

Third, show clear reaction to my words. Got that?

Okay. Are they all?

Thank you for your advice. I'll do as you told me. Excuse me then.

Her attitude completely changed.

Now she understands who I am.

Did you prepare what I asked?

Yes. Here you are.

Lena Jeong,

...it's going to be a miserable, horrible shooting fit for your shabby dress.

Show clear reaction?

You'll see. It'll be you who can do nothing but show reaction.

What brings you here? Did you come to see Lena Jeong?

Lena Jeong? What's up with her?

You didn't know? She has Healing Recipe shooting today.

I thought you came to see how she's doing.

Are you saying she appears on Healing Recipe?

Yes. If it's not for Lena, what brings you here all of a sudden?

Wait. Tell me in detail.

How did she make an appearance on Healing Recipe?

I'm not sure if I can tell you. Well, it's not a flaw though.

Minjoon requested it when he signed a commercial contract.

They are in some intimate relationship, aren't they?

Lena denies it but there's no problem. This calls for a celebration.

Minjoon pretends to be married but in truth,

he's a bachelor, never been married.

How do you know that?

I was in America at that time so I attended his wedding.

His bride didn't show up in the end.

It was a family dishonor and only few people know about it. Keep it a secret.

Bad news travels fast. There can't be an absolute secrecy.

Why don't you reveal the truth? So he can go with someone.

I'll take care of it. Just keep it a secret. Please.

This is your favorite urchin roe.

You eat.

Come on.

They say feeding their children is a great joy,

...but as for me, attending to you is absorbing. Is it good?

Yes. You eat some.

By the way, what made you ask me out for lunch?

What should we do with Minjoon?

What do you mean? What's with him?

Since you're so worried about him, I inquired of my friend Soohyon.

You know the Entertainment Director of NBC.

About what?

The reason why Minjoon signed a pricey ad spot in Healing Recipe.

What's the reason?

I think he's bewitched by a vixen.

Come on, out with it.

You know Lena Jeong.

He signed the contract in return for her appearance in Healing Recipe.

Is it true? That halfwit.

I knew he had feelings for her and I opposed it. Yet he hasn't gotten over her?

Honey, anger doesn't help anything.

Your opposition will only bring them closer together.

You better keep them apart.

What should we do? We can't force her back to America.

Then there's only one way.

I'll send Minjoon abroad.

We'll start shooting in 20 minutes. Get ready.

Okay.

Esol, you will come, right?

It's too much for me. Please stand by me.

Ms. Song? You didn't forget the interview today, right?

Make sure to come.

Okay. See you soon. Bye.

I texted Esol and called Ms. Song.

Only one thing's left to be done.

You'll see, Heeyon Jeong. You can't have it your way today.

Do I look good in this dress?

Of course. A pale-toned dress suits you better than a colorful one.

Well, compared to Lena's shabby dress, this will be enough.

We're shooting now. One, two, three!

Hi! Welcome to Heeyon Jeong's Healing Recipe.

The weather's been very hot, huh?

Today's guest is someone who can sweep away your heat.

We had an explosive response last week.

So we prepared the second part of the same guest. Shall we have her?

Yes.

Come out, please.

Come out, please!

I think our guest is too nervous. Let's call her out with a loud voice.

Please come out!

Come out, Ms. Lena Jeong.

Hi. Thank you for having me again.

You're welcome.

You're exceptionally gorgeous today.

Am I?

I dolled myself up to win favor with you. How do I look?

- Beautiful! - The best!

You're the best.

Thank you. Somehow I feel good about today's show.

Please be easy on me.

Yeah, act up while you can. You'll shed bitter tears soon.

Look who's talking. You'll see I'm not who I used to be.

Why, are you done? Can I finish it?

What?

What's wrong with you?

Now you even gobble food?

Men get voracious as they get old but I really can't stand it.

Why pick a fight even with the way I eat? I'm dying hungry after hard work.

You just don't like me. You don't like everything about me, do you?

If you know that well, change it.

Then desert me.

I want to live freely away from you.

There's one thing I still like about you though.

What is it? Tell me.

My handsome face?

Did you eat green onion kimchi? What a bad breath. Turn away.

What is it?

I won't tell you.

Come on. I'm curious to death.

I said I won't! Just clean these up. One, two, three!

Okay.

That is it. Obedience.

I have to go somewhere with Yura. You do surgery in my place.

Okay, your command is my wish.

So cute.

Clean up.

One, two, three!

Can you touch it? Wait, wait!

Come on, it's cute. The star of the sea, Starfish!

You go well with it.

I'm scared.

Esol, how are you doing?

I wonder if you're okay...

Don't be sorry.

I was really happy because of you.

I will never forget you.

Jaejoon, look here.

How does she look?

So pretty.

What are all these dishes?

Don't touch. These are for a special person.

- Special person? - Yes.

Who's more special to you than me? Tell me who the jerk is.

Jaejoon Park. He's the first love of Esol. How can I just sit idle?

He seemed to like side dishes so I made these to send to his family.

Does that rich boy eat the foods like these?

Don't do things that will buy their disapproval.

Disapproval? Esol tasted these. They will love these foods.

Ask people on the street.

Esol doesn't lack anything except for poor family background.

Yeah, right. There she comes out.

Esol, where are you going? Come here.

Come here.

Why? I'm going out to dump trash.

Give it to me. I'm going to take out the garbage.

It's okay. I'll do it.

No, let me...

Geez, you're making a fuss again.

Aren't these pictures of you and Jaejoon? Why are you throwing them out?

Did you have a fight with him at the beach?

Guess he made a pass at you with some silly tricks, right?

Cut the crap.

Esol, I packed some side dishes for him.

Give these to him and make up with him, okay?

I can't. We broke up.

What? Broke up? Why all of a sudden?

We just drifted into it.

Hey, we need to talk. Come.

You look great. I really hate to marry you off.

Lift up your head.

Smile. You're going to get engaged, not dragged to a battlefield.

Try this on too.

It's once in a lifetime. You should look splendid.

What's wrong with you? Did you forget Dr. Choi and Yura are outside?

I'm a human being. I'm not your puppet.

It's been less than a week since I broke up with my love.

And here I am, under constraint, to get engaged to someone else.

I can't stand my ugly head.

You're not ugly. You came back where you belong.

Brace yourself.

Esol isn't even worth your leftover feelings.

You're really...

You think love is everything? It fades away.

Even couples who married only for love get divorced.

Lead a life. Money talks in reality.

I don't want it. I don't need it.

That's what you think now. You'll see I'm right.

Forget about the past and think about the future.

Yura is waiting. Get changed and come out.

Tell me. Why did you break up?

Just because. We agreed to break up.

Just because?

You clearly told us to accept him since you love him so much.

You were dead gone on each other so how could you?

What's the reason? Why did you break up?

Mom...

Mom, I think they broke up because of his mother.

What? What are you talking about?

Stop, Eunsol.

No!

A few days ago, she called her out. Then they broke up.

Is it true?

Did she tell you to break up with him? Was that why you broke up?

Mom.

What was her reason?

Was it because we are poor and you don't have a college degree?

You fool! Couldn't you talk?

You could've told her that you love him so much that you can't break up.

Couldn't you even say that?

Why did you meet her only to listen to her biting words? You fool!

No. Take the lead. I will visit his family.

Where does he live? I'm going to meet his mom.

You're not saying you want to marry now. She can't keep you from even dating!

I'm going to beg her or plead her.

No.

I'd better tell her that although we're poor, you are such a precious child to me!

Mom, stop.

I didn't stop him.

Then it'd make life difficult for him.

So let him go.

I'm okay. I am okay.

I am really okay.

I'm okay, Mom. I don't care.

I mean it.

Oh, my poor girl. My poor daughter.

My poor girl.

Don't cry. Sorry that I didn't know that.

What's the secret to changing Jaejoon's mind?

Curious?

There's one thing I count on the most.

It's the fact that my son loves me as much as I love him.

More than his woman?

Of course.

I knew he'd come back to my bosom no matter how he defies me.

How did you tame Yura?

She's very simple.

Although she acted rude that day, she surrendered when I reasoned with her.

She's cute and pure unlike what she seems. Please be nice to her.

Being nice to her and making a new person of her are different.

Once they get engaged, I will train her to be a perfect daughter-in-law.

Heera.

There's one thing I like about her though.

She has a lot of guts to have defied me that day.

Yeah, she should be that gutsy to change Jaejoon's mind to look at her.

Right. So I'm not worried about them.

In sight, in mind.

What can they do? They'll get attached to each other.

Get up. I've been waiting for you for 20 minutes.

Let's go out for a date. Then my mom will give my credit cards back.

Aren't you going to get up? One, two!

Alright.

What are you doing?

Now you got up. Come on, let's go out.

You have no pride? How could you hold onto a man who doesn't like you?

What? Look, who is to blame for this?

I helped you but you surrendered to your mother.

You're to blame for our engagement.

This is why people say, "The kettle calls the pot black."

This is nuts.

She makes me laugh.

I'm upset but you're laughing?

I think both of us learned a lesson.

However hard we try,

our fate is in the hands of our moms and we're doomed to be married.

So let me tell you this saying.

"If you can't enjoy it, avoid it!"

Reversed. "If you can't avoid it, enjoy it."

Exactly! So let's go out and have fun.

I want to have a drink in a long time.

You want to have a drink too.

Come on. If we stay at home, our moms will suffocate us.

I won't lay a finger on you. I'll just be your drinking buddy.

Let's go out, okay?

Esol, give me the number of Jaejoon. I won't leave him alone.

Give me his number.

What's wrong with you?

He did nothing wrong. So don't bother him. Leave him alone!

Did nothing wrong? Because of him, I...!

Anyways, give me his number.

I'm okay. So why do you guys make a big deal out of it?

I already got over him. So leave him alone! Please.

You're not okay, you fool!

Once I find him, I won't leave him alone!

How can I find him?

Cheers!

Looks delicious.

Eat this. It was caught at sea. Very fresh.

I'll eat then.

Did you look for me?

What's your relationship with Lena Jeong?

What is it that you spent huge money to support her?

I heard you spent tons of ad dollars to let her appear on Healing Recipe.

Is it true that you wasted the company fund to support her?

Forgive me.

You such a...

Poor wretch. How come you never pick a right woman?

Wasn't it enough you were betrayed by a fiancee that you let Lena Jeong use you?

What's the use of blaming you? It's all part of my karma.

Father.

I'm to blame. I'm to blame for everything.

Can I introduce today's healing recipe?

Wait. I have something to show you first.

Do you search on the Internet often?

Why do you ask that question?

Our show aired last week set the world on fire. Seems you don't know about it yet.

Did it? How was the response?

Viewers left a lot of comments on you.

Why don't you take a look?

Here you are.

Why, are you surprised?

The audience here is very curious.

Why don't you read them aloud?

These comments?

Yes. Aren't you curious?

Yes!

Go ahead, Ms. Jeong.

Again, she doesn't follow the script.

I know. Heeyon seems really mad.

What is it about that she's taking a breath?

Since when Healing Recipe...

I can't hear you. Can you speak louder?

Come on.

"Since when is Healing Recipe speaks for the criminal?"

"Top Chef of Conscience? Call her an unconscionable bubble chef."

"You exploited your subordinate. You think kneeling is enough?"

"Kick the thief out of broadcasting. The only place for Lena Jeong is..."

Stop. That's enough.

The reason why I showed it to you is not to insult you.

I only wanted to let you know that viewers didn't forgive you yet.

My favorite saying is, "No forgiveness, no communication."

What do you say?

If you want true communication with viewers,

...I think you should seek their forgiveness first.

This is nuts. Say something, Lena.

If you were her, could you? Heeyon screwed over her again.

I thought she changed but, how pathetic.

This is the end of Lena.

Excuse me. I have something to tell you.

What is it?

Take a look at these.

What a reversal.

Can we talk?

Where did you get these pictures?

Sorry? Ms. Jeong showed them to me.

She cleared the air and made up with him long time ago.

She didn't want to show up for shooting today but I persuaded her.

So please help Ms. Jeong.

She's really bent on it to make a through preparation like this.

Excuse me?

Nothing.

You are the one that can help her now.

If you pitch in a little, you can save her dramatically.

I think that's what she wants. Can you do that?

You can't understand me.

No matter how old you get, you will always be my little boy.

Unlike Jaejoon, you always remind me of the hardscrabble upbringing of you.

Father, I'm grown-up. You did your best to me.

No. I'm a sinful man.

I did wrong when your wedding was broken off.

I should've put you first but I was busy trying to save my face.

People begrudged this illiterate man the success.

Calling off your wedding? I was afraid to suffer disgrace.

So I told a lie that you're a happily married man.

I'm sorry.

Minjoon.

Are you serious with Lena Jeong?

It's the first time you love someone since then.

Father, I...

If you really love her, I'll change my mind.

Heera doesn't like her but I'm willing to meet Lena.

If she has the right mind-set, I can accept her into my family.

I'm sorry, Father for causing you anxiety.

I've already pushed her out of my mind.

Why?

She's not the woman I thought she might be.

So have no worry about me.

Can you get over her easily when she's around you?

I'll have to try.

How about relocating to the States for a year?

That'll help you forget about her.

Lena.

You still didn't answer my question. Let me ask once again.

How will you seek viewers' forgiveness?

Can't bear to see it. Should we cut it?

Let it be. Now is the real beginning.

Hand this to the stage.

I was thoughtless.

If you don't want to see me,

...I will not appear until you forgive me.

I will have time for self-restraint in silence.

That's it.

I'm touched by your courage.

Well, perhaps this is her last appearance on TV.

Why don't we give her warm applause of encouragement?

Cheer up.

Heeyon is really cruel. She's completely knocked her out.

Game isn't over. Send in Esol Kang.

Wait. We have a surprise guest for Ms. Lena Jeong.

A surprise guest?

Seems you didn't know about it either.

Let's have the guest.

Please come out.

Ms. Esol Kang.

Ms. Esol Kang?

The one who took her guilt upon yourself?

How bad you must've felt about Lena.

Not at all. I came here to reveal the truth about Ms. Jeong.

She's not what you think she is. Please take a look at these pictures.

When she heard that the original rainbow pizza didn't sell well,

...she visited the restaurant and shared her recipe.

Thanks to her, their business got back on track...

...and the originator of the pizza regards her as his savior.

That's enough. I did it only to have his forgiveness.

Calm down. Anger is not good for your skin.

How can I calm down? I got dinged by an amateur!

Wench. She set it up.

A surprise guest? It was her work.

She's a tough cookie.

I wonder how her face is distorted by anger.

Don't be shocked already. This is only the first inning.

Ms. Jeong, it was great.

I heard the staffs say it'll be all smooth sailing for you now. Congrats.

You didn't leave yet?

Sorry? Well, I wanted to congratulate...

Thank you for today.

I should buy you dinner but I'm a bit tired.

Ms. Jeong, can we have an interview now?

Of course. You're welcomed anytime.

Esol, you may leave.

Can you have tea while I get changed? One second, please.

Sure.

What's this delicious smell? Can I taste it?

Let's see.

It's really delicious! This gives nice, crispy taste.

Yes. Is it Taesoo's birthday? Why are you making this?

It's because she feels good.

Our baby doctor went out with the super playgirl.

Mom, don't speak ill of Yura now. Now she's our family member.

Jaejoon will be on his way up.

His obstacle will disappear soon.

Obstacle? You mean Minjoon will be kicked out to America?

Be quiet.

Taesoo promised to send him to the Los Angeles office.

My. So you brought it about.

Pretend not to know about it.

You're worried about Esol, aren't you?

I wonder where on earth that poor girl is wandering off.

She's distressed and it's dark. She should come home.

Leave her alone.

I was in her shoes so I know. Wandering around the street helps.

It's really strange.

We had no buyer but this house was sold and then unsold after Esol's breakup.

Perhaps, his family was involved in it to make Esol break up with him.

No way. I don't think they'd fool around with others' shelter.

Right. Losing down payment is a big deal.

They're very rich. You never know.

Is there any way we can find out?

How about checking with the landlord? Yangsoon, call him.

Huh? Okay.

Hi, this is Yangsoon Gu.

The tenant of your house. I'm calling to ask you something.

You know the one who bought this house and canceled. Can I know who it was?

Seems it's here.

Taesoo Park. Taesoo Park?

Jaejoon Park?

Why doesn't she answer the phone?

Youngu, I bought your favorite ice cream.

Thank you but this is no time to eat ice cream.

What does he mean?

There's a problem. Dongu went to Jaejoon's house.

What? Why? How did he know his address?

What?

Where are you? Did you really go to Jaejoon's house?

I'm in front of his house. I'll wait until he comes out.

What's wrong with you? Pease don't...

One moment, please. Jaejoon.

Jaejoon, wake up. What kind of man gets drunk so easily?

Who are you?

Hey, Jaejoon Park.

Dongu Hur? What brings you here?

Are you crazy? What are you doing?

Didn't I warn you? That if you make Esol cry, I won't forgive you, bastard!

Oh no.

Get up. Get up, jerk!

Hey! Who are you? Are you a thug?

Don't touch my fiance, or you'll die in my hands!

What? Fiance?

Yes. We're going to get engaged next week!

You trash.

Dongu!

Did you hear?

He's going to get engaged.

He broke up with you only recently and he's getting engaged!

He fooled around with you when he had a fiancee.

Aren't you upset? He deceived you!

Dongu.

Whether he's getting engaged or not has nothing to do with me now.

So don't do this.

We shouldn't do this to a total stranger.

Let's go.

Hey, Esol. Esol!

Are you okay?

What a hoodlum!

Oh, what should I do?

Are you okay? You're okay, right?

Had it not been for you, I would've...

He's such a bastard.

NBC just sent this to you.

Episode of Lena Jeong>

They starred her as you requested.

How was her shooting?

I heard it was good. Check it yourself, please.

Congrats. I think you were good enough to take your place in broadcasting.

Well, I'm not sure if I'm qualified.

Yes, you are.

Once it goes on the air, you'll be blue chip in the broadcasting industry.

That's what all the staffs are saying.

Spare my blushes.

If I succeed, I'll owe it to your nice article.

Let me ask one last question. Give me an honest answer.

The rumor says you are in a romantic relationship with Mr. Minjoon Park.

Is it true?

What are you talking about? I don't know what you heard but...

They say he pulled strings for you. Am I wrong?

I know nothing about it. What I can tell you for sure is...

...I'm not so impudent to have an affair with a married man. You may leave now.

There's nothing to be upset.

Such a scandal would work to your advantage.

Heeyon Jeong had sudden rise in her popularity as she married high society.

But seeing a married man is an ill fame.

Mr. Park might not be a married man.

What are you talking about?

You yourself wrote an article...

...that he married in America 10 years ago and his wife is still...

After it was published, I overheard Ms. Bae say...

...that his bride didn't show up at the wedding.

What? No way.

I tried to confirm it with her later but she said it was just a drunken talk.

So if you fall in love with Mr. Park, let me know. I'll make you famous.

I'm loyal.

Hi. Thank you for having me again.

I overheard Ms. Bae say that his bride didn't show up at the wedding.

You're a married man and shouldn't behave like this.

Don't think you can push me around.

Then, if I'm not a married man, is it all right?

I told you not to believe magazine articles.

Are you busy?

Hey, Lena. Nice shooting today.

You gave her a bashing.

It was thanks to you. I didn't know Esol would appear as a surprise guest.

You can be frank with me. You took it into account.

"Just think of success and abandon scruples."

It's you who taught me that.

So what brings you here?

I don't think you came to give this to me.

There's something I want to discuss with you.

Actually, Mr. Minjoon asked me to go steady with him. What should I do?

Did he say that?

Yes. He said he is not married and...

...he didn't even have a wedding since his bride stood him up.

Do you think I can believe him?

Really?

If he said that, you should believe him.

Believe him. That's how I understood it, too.

I see.

Anyway, thank you. I'll weigh a decision.

What's there to weigh? If you catch him, he'll give you wings.

Thank you. Thank you so much.

Yes.

This is Lena.

What is this regarding?

I'm calling to say thank you for giving me the chance.

Are you there?

I'm listening.

I'd like to treat you to dinner to express my gratitude.

If you're busy, I can go to your direction.

No need. Seems you forgot your text message. Let me remind you.

"We are quits. Don't' call me ever again." Stick to your words.

Mr. Park, Mr. Park!

I must've been crazy. Why did I do that?

What should I do? How can I take it back?

Relocating to the States for a year. That'll help you forget about her.

Yes.

Minjoon, have breakfast.

I'm coming down.

I heard it from your father. Are you really going to the Los Angeles office?

Yes, right after Jaejoon's engagement.

Well, think that you were bewitched by a vixen.

Honestly, I didn't feel good about Lena Jeong when I first saw her.

She's like an oversophisticated...

...ready to take advantage of others. Anyways, she looked too grasping.

Don't worry. Now I'm not interested in her.

Sure you shouldn't. You're to lead this family after your father.

When you return from America, I'll look for a good spouse for you.

It's okay. Women and I are strangers.

Come down.

Okay.

This orgel brings love. Good luck with Ms. Lena Jeong.

This ring will bring you happiness.

Who is it?

Delivery service!

Thank you.

Who sent this?

Congrats on your broadcasting. Did you get the flowers?

It was you. Thank you.

I should keep up the good work. Yes. Thank you.

Yes, this is it. This will be my luck.

[Subtitles provided by MBC]

Once I leave for Qingdao upon marriage, I can't meet her again.

What are these flowers?
