Original subtitles

I'll steal all of Giant Hotel's customers.

(Light and Shadow Loans)

I'm going to get my revenge.

Are you the light or the shadow?

It's not light.

It's debt. Go!

Are you the light or the shadow?

I just told you it's not light. It stands for debt. A loan. Go!

Lend me some money and become my light.

But what do you say...

we eat this before we die?

Oh, no.

Get out! It's dangerous!

What should I do?

(Hungry Frying Pan)

(Operating Room)

Come on. You're getting it all over the place.

Do it for me like I'm your girlfriend.

But you're a man!

Did you just call me "Big Brother"?

I like too many men.

Or maybe I'm going crazy from all my hardships.

It said I should look up at the stars...

instead of looking at my feet.

What about yours?

I threw it out.

Really? Without looking at it?

Without looking at it.

Weren't you curious?

I threw it out because I was scared it might come true.

Because it shouldn't.

Please get out of my sight.

Gosh.

Won't you go easy on me?

(The one in front of you now is your true love.)

(Episode 17)

(Vacant)

I broke up with my wife.

I'm not a married man.

I'm just saying.

Pardon?

I'm just saying.

Just so you know.

- Why are you telling me... - I just wanted to let you know.

(Hungry Wok)

This is the song I like.

We can do this, right?

We can do this.

Between the wok and the ladle.

Let's eat together. Come here.

Aren't you hungry?

I'm hungry.

Let's have some noodles.

I'll make you noodles.

I can do that, right?

It's okay to do that...

between us.

Should I pour you some?

There.

Why do you keep staring at me?

You're pretty.

You're pretty.

- Let's eat. - Yes.

Aren't you going to say it's good?

I don't need to say it.

Do you know why wonton noodles are called "wonton noodles"?

I don't know.

It goes down as easily as a cloud.

That's why it's called wonton noodles.

It really goes down as easily as a cloud.

For it to go down smoothly,

the skin has to be thin,

the stuffing has to melt like cotton candy,

and the soup has to taste clean.

The wonton skin and the stuffing have to be like cloud.

Even the soup has to be like cloud.

That's right.

This is good.

By the way,

what did you mean earlier?

"Between us"?

What does that mean?

Don't you have more to say?

It didn't sound like that was it.

That was it.

Then what would you call sharing noodles and earphones?

I'll hold the wok. You'll hold the ladle.

We're one body.

Oh, one body.

We're the best partners.

So it's a camaraderie within the workplace.

Friendlier than that.

That's ambiguous.

So do we have an ambiguous relationship?

Stop asking questions.

I don't like ambiguity.

Ambiguity is nice. What's wrong with it?

I hate ambiguous things.

How is it nice?

Life is ambiguous like that.

I lived two more years than you did.

What?

- Nothing. - How is ambiguity nice?

It's like being uncertain, so you're stuck in between.

That's so vague.

I don't like ambiguity.

I reject ambiguity.

You're so talkative.

Will you be happy if I said this tasted ambiguous and vague?

Hey, it's not like I want to be ambiguous.

People aren't ambiguous because they like that.

Everyone has their own reason to be that way.

So they're holding back.

I don't know. I can't live in ambiguity.

Good for you.

- I won't eat it. - Come on.

It makes my stomach feel ambiguous.

I said stop.

It's so bland.

There's no zha cai, no pickled radish, no kimchi.

It doesn't taste like anything.

How can you be so mean...

just because you lived two more years?

How can you eat wonton noodles with zha cai and pickled radish?

It's the preference of the eater.

Then don't eat it.

I cooked it at my own will. You decided not to eat it.

Let's just do as we please. Don't eat it.

Are you sulking?

Yes, I am.

I get sulky easily.

Keep that in mind.

I don't want to.

Do whatever you want then.

It really does go down as easily as a cloud.

It's good.

Seol Ja.

Yes.

I am not sure about it

I am nervous about it

I am doubting it

Please enter.

Poong, you punk.

Well...

Why are you two together...

this late at night?

You had a drink, Seol Ja.

Yes, chef.

Ladle, bring more drinks.

Well, you seem quite drunk.

Wait.

The restaurant's closed. What are you two doing here?

I'm...

really curious. Ms. Ladle.

How can you do that to my boss?

How can you embarrass my boss like that?

- Pardon? - What do you mean?

- How did she embarrass him? - Tell me.

Why don't you like my boss?

I've never seen him like a woman.

I don't think he has ever been in love.

He's never had one-sided love.

This is the first time. Plus, you're a married woman.

My boss, Chil Seong,

never has a change of heart.

I'm so worried that he's going to...

cherish her for a long time.

My poor boss...

likes someone who invited us to her wedding.

What can we do about this?

- Well... - Sae Woo.

I know you rejected him, but how can you...

fart in front of a guy who loves you?

How can you make him smell that?

You have no manners. That's so dirty.

What do you mean? I never farted.

Don't you lie to me.

You're doing it again.

We were so taken aback,

so we even recorded it.

Listen to this. You can't say you didn't. Here.

Wait.

Did you hear that? Look at me.

Did you hear that?

I can even fart whenever I want right after I eat.

And I don't need a signal to take a dump.

I can do it whenever I want.

Look. I also get so many things stuck in my teeth after I eat.

So I get a lot of cavities.

I probably have something in between my teeth right now.

Look.

Goodness. Don't.

You should hear how cruel you were.

The fact that I'm in love with a married woman...

I also thought...

Gosh, this is so frustrating. Hurry up and say it.

I also thought of myself as crazy.

Is that it?

I thought of myself as a jerk.

You also think it's wrong, right?

Yes, I do.

So stop liking me from now on.

Love isn't something you do alone. It has to be a mutual thing. Okay?

Okay.

You shouldn't be like this.

You broke the heart of a man...

who is completely in love with you.

He would never give up just because you tell him to.

He can't get over his feelings just like that.

- Erase it right now. - What?

Erase all of it right now. Erase what the other men have too.

Do you need another slap to get you moving?

Boss.

By the way,

why do you all look so serious?

Did something happen?

Hey.

I'm fine.

I'll be discharged tomorrow.

I'm fine. Hey, Poong.

Can you make me some noodles?

The hospital food is horrible.

Maeng Dal.

You should go too.

Okay, boss.

I didn't get to tell you,

but a few days ago, Chil Seong...

called me to Light and Shadow Loans.

He asked me to be good to Ladle.

He asked me to look after her...

if you yell at her.

If she looks tired,

I should tattle to Chil Seong and buy her good food.

He also told me to help her take breaks so that she doesn't get sick.

I was wondering why he asked for such a favor behind your back.

It was because he likes her.

What kind of man is Chil Seong?

Is he a good man?

I have to visit the restroom.

A patient shouldn't walk around like this.

You came to my mind.

I was curious about you,

and I wanted to see you.

Let's go.

I'll take you back.

Will you?

[VIU Ver] SBS E17 Wok of Love "I Split Up with My Wife" -♥ Ruo Xi ♥-

Your surgical wound hasn't healed yet.

If you make big movements or get into fights,

your stitches will burst open, and you'll bleed.

It'll be a big problem.

Okay?

Okay?

Right. I'm sorry.

Same for you. Don't forget your appointments.

Yes, ma'am.

(Hungry Wok)

Did you think about it?

Do you need more time?

If I gave you 24 hours,

I gave you a lot.

I'm sorry.

I'll give you more time.

No, I don't need it.

No.

I'll give it to you, so take it.

When I first went to get a loan,

I was surprised.

I couldn't believe someone would...

lend me money.

I will never forget it.

For some reason, I couldn't get myself...

to ask people I know for money.

I was scared...

because I felt like I would lose them if they declined.

All the money we had was gone,

but I still had all of my pride.

I'll give you all of my money.

I'll also give you...

all of my time too.

Pride...

isn't something you give up.

Don't be hurt.

To be honest, more than anything anyone could say,

the money you lent to me...

consoled me.

You're a good loan shark.

I'm a good man.

Yes, it's true you're a good man.

That's why you should meet a good woman.

I feel sorry, and I'm thankful.

That's not love.

I was confused when we kissed. I couldn't tell if it was right...

or not.

Stop getting stabbed...

and stop getting hurt from fights.

Also, stop getting hurt because of me.

I'm a nobody. Stop liking me.

I'm sorry.

Let's give it three chances.

Third time is the charm.

Even if we give it three chances,

I already said "no" twice.

It's already over.

Do you know me?

You...

You don't know me yet.

You know me as a loan shark,

someone with three criminal records,

and someone...

who gets hurt in fights.

That's all you know about me.

Stop having regrets. That will make you into a fool.

Look up.

It's not like you did anything wrong.

I said, "look up".

Well?

Well?

Thank you.

Welcome.

Why are you still up?

I just couldn't stop thinking about your noodles.

You just left without eating any of it.

Hey.

Why don't you sleep here tonight?

I don't want to be alone.

My gosh.

I don't think I'll be able to fall asleep.

Really?

I feel the same way.

Do you?

Yes.

Fine, that's great.

Let's spend the night together, us men.

Gosh, I really don't want to.

Forget it and just sleep. You need to sleep in order to get better.

Gosh, why can't you get the message?

I told you that I don't think I'll be able to fall asleep tonight.

Poong.

I hate the hospital.

But I'm more afraid...

to get discharged tomorrow.

Go to sleep.

You came to my mind.

I was curious about you,

and I wanted to see you.

(Whole Shrimp Dim Sum Festival)

Nice.

Gosh, who put Chef Poong's sneakers up there?

(Whole Shrimp Dim Sum Festival)

Whole Shrimp? That's our menu.

That's our menu.

(Whole Shrimp Dim Sum Festival)

Where's Poong?

I can't believe them.

My gosh.

What are you all doing out here?

Chef, the guys at the hotel said they didn't have your recipe note.

But I'm definitely sure they do.

How could they even use the same name?

They're saying they're going to take...

Chef Poong's years of hard work and use it like it's their own.

Hey.

What's a recipe book?

What's the most important thing when it comes to doing your job?

My ledger.

Well, a recipe book is like a ledger to a chef.

You have a delivery.

Over here.

(Hungry Wok)

(Starting from the shrimp's head to tail)

(Whole Shrimp Dim Sum Summer Festival)

(3 course shrimp menus with main meal: 18 dollars)

(Whole Shrimp Dim Sum Festival)

It's too small.

We'll do things our way.

With one tenth of their price,

I'm going to lure the customers by making the dishes more delicious.

Shouldn't you find your recipe book first?

Even if I go, they'll never give it to me.

Are we really going to sell it for one tenth of their price?

The banner itself is one tenth the size of theirs.

Are you sure we won't go bankrupt?

(Whole Shrimp Dim Sum Festival)

I'm not doing this business to go bankrupt.

They're using the same ingredients and selling it for 180 dollars.

We're going to sell it exactly for one tenth of their price.

It's actually for the better.

We'll be able to compete on the same day.

What's important is...

how well we manage to keep...

the shrimp's meat and flavor inside.

- Cutting Part. - Yes, chef.

I want you to maintain the shape of the shrimp...

when you take the shell off.

It's over if the head falls off.

- Noodle Part. - Yes, chef.

I want you to peel the orange peels...

as thin as a piece of thread.

I want people to think they're chewing on the scent, not peels.

- Lady. - Yes, chef.

I want you to peel, wash, and cut 300 onions.

Well...

Gosh, my eyes hurt.

Dong Sik.

I want you to clean the shrimp.

Cut off all the antennae and legs.

- Yes, chef. - 1,000 shrimps in total.

1,000 shrimps?

Yes, chef.

- Ladle. - Yes, chef.

You're going to help me make...

the 0.1mm dim sum skin made of egg, which is considered impossible.

Yes, chef.

Everyone, get to your positions.

- Yes, chef. - Yes, chef.

Make it thinner.

It needs to be thin. Thinner.

The thinner the dim sum skin is,

the less flavor it takes away from the shrimp inside.

This is 0.2mm.

It's way too thick.

0.1mm is impossible, chef.

It needs to be 0.1mm, no matter what.

Sprinkle some water on the wok.

We want to cool the wok down...

so that the egg won't stick.

Have the egg ready.

Pour one scoop into the wok.

Pour it in the center, and I'll rotate the wok.

Nice. Great.

Good job.

That's great.

Okay, we need to do it now. Grab the ladle.

The bottom of the ladle should face upwards.

The center of the skin should meet with the bottom of the ladle.

It should look like a yellow umbrella.

Be in sync with me.

1, 2, 3.

My gosh.

Is this possible?

In order for the shrimp to taste like shrimp, it needs to be 0.1mm.

Otherwise, it'll just taste like eggs.

Should we go again?

Yes, let's go again.

We're going to repeat it more than 100 times.

The shrimp should taste like shrimp, not eggs. Right?

Right.

- We might even try 1,000 times. - Yes, chef.

- Go bring some eggs. - Yes, chef.

- I signed the divorce papers. - So?

- What? - I'm also single.

Why are you telling me that now?

I figured we might become busy from now on.

- Is that the only reason? - Yes.

The pressure kind of made me feel urgent.

Then were you not going to tell me if we didn't become busy?

That's right.

- Do you feel urgent? - Yes, chef.

Why is that?

We're going to compete against a hotel.

Of course, I feel urgent.

- Wait. - Yes, chef.

How long has it been?

- A while. - What?

What are you doing? Why are you just standing there?

- Bring me the ingredients. - Yes, chef.

I almost forgot.

Eggs.

You need to do this.

No, not like that.

When will I finish all 300 of these?

Lady.

Are you keeping something from me?

What?

Seol Ja, is there something you haven't told me yet?

No.

Geok Jeong.

Do you have anything to tell me?

Why?

I'll forgive everything.

Do you have good news or something?

Did you successfully make a thin dim sum skin with eggs?

Of course not.

My gosh.

He didn't even show that much of a reaction.

I guess he doesn't care.

Where did he go?

Chef?

Does he know that we're a family?

No.

What should we do?

What's wrong?
