Do you know my son?

Kim Tak Goo.

You know Tak Goo?

Where is he?

Shall we begin?

I got a doctor's note that says I need to be

treated for 6 weeks. Tak Goo did this to me.

6 weeks.

Do you know that's enough

to get you arrested?

Let's settle this.

Tell me how much you want.

Can you give me an arm or a leg?

Hey, what are you talking about?

If you do, I'll tell you where he is.

I'll give you anything you want.

Chairman.

Just tell me where he is.

If you do, I'll give you everything.

Tell me where he is!

Wait!

What are you doing?

What do you think? I'm testing you.

Are you serious?

Yes, I am.

Look, gramps.

How dare you talk to him that way.

Leave him alone. It sounds friendly.

Father, it's bad for discipline.

Tell me what you want to say.

I just need to find the man

I'm looking for and get out.

Is this really necessary?

Like I said, there are only two ways

of getting into this bakery.

You either come in to buy bread

or come in to learn how to bake.

Yes, you did.

You have to pass this test in order

to learn how to bake in this bakery.

That way, you'll be able to find the man

you're looking for.

Father...

Can we begin?

Yes.

Mi Sun.

The test is very simple.

Sample the bread in front of you and find

the dough it was made from.

- Jae Bok. - Coming.

You may begin.

International Hospital.

Where's the Chairman?

- He's inside. - Okay.

Are you okay?

I heard that there was a gang fight.

Why did you end up at a place like that?

Chairman?

I was looking for Tak Goo.

I thought I should find him, or at least try.

I thought that was my duty as his father.

Why didn't you tell me this?

If you did, I would've...

You would've found him?

Do you really mean that?

What do you mean?

I was just curious.

If you really meant it when you said that

you're going to find Tak Goo.

I've never disobeyed you in my life.

I've always done everything

you asked me to do, no matter what.

I've been doing that for 30 years.

Do you doubt me?

That's why I said that I was just curious.

It's late. Let's go home.

You know Kim Tak Goo?

He must be very popular.

What if I do?

What are you going to give me?

That man was willing to give me his arm

and leg.

What can you give me? A building?

I'm not going to negotiate with you.

I don't intend on going easy on you either.

So, stop messing around

and just answer my question.

Do you know where Kim Tak Goo is?

Yes, I do.

Where is he?

Goodbye.

Hey! How did it go?

- Is the test over? - Not yet.

What's up with him?

He's weird. He's sniffing instead of eating.

Come on, write the answer down.

If you don't write it down in 5 seconds,

it counts as a forfeit.

- One... - Okay, I'll write it.

- Two, three, four... - Okay, I'm writing it.

You ugly, impatient little...

Who wrote ♪4?

I did.

Why ♪4?

The bread had the sour taste and scent

of sour dough at first,

but finished with a softer and richer taste.

This can only be made with dough

that has been ripened for over 50 hours.

That's why I chose ♪4.

Then, you must've written ♪5 down.

Why did you pick ♪5?

I didn't write ♪5.

No?

This is a 5.

I didn't mean ♪5.

What I meant was that the

answer is all 5 of them.

Why?

Why all 5?

I don't know.

I'm not sure, but all the doughs

smell like this bread.

They all have different degrees

of sourness and sweetness,

but the basic smell is the same as the bread.

Am I wrong?

Am I wrong?

Am I wrong?

First of all, the answer to this question is...

♪4.

Your name is Tae Jo, right?

Yes, Sir.

Most challengers pick ♪3

because it has a similar taste at first.

But, you found the dough

through the after taste.

You are the 4th person in the last 5 years

to get the answer right.

Does this mean that you're going to take

me in as your apprentice?

Of course.

You can come in starting from tomorrow.

Yes, Sir.

And you.

Yes?

You can come in starting from tomorrow too.

Father.

Teacher.

Grandpa!

But you said that the answer is ♪4.

The answer is ♪4, but you're not wrong either.

What?

All the doughs were made

with the same ingredients.

They all taste differently because

they have different ripening time.

You figured that out just by their smell,

without even tasting it.

You're the first ever person to come up with

an answer like that.

So, what are you saying? Did I pass or not?

You passed.

Does this mean that I can now live, eat,

and crap in this house?

You certainly can.

And does this mean that I can look

for the pin wheel tattooed man in here?

You certainly can.

Father...

That's it for today's test.

Father...

I forgot to ask your name.

What is your name?

I'm Kim Tak Goo.

It has nothing to do with table tennis.

My name means to seek what's noble.

Father.

Father, please reconsider.

Yes, you should reconsider.

Father, did you hear?

Everyone here is against taking Tak Goo in.

Hundreds of people every year are trying

to get into this bakery.

They all have great skills.

Yet, you're taking in a scoundrel

like him instead?

I don't understand. Please reconsider.

That's what I'm talking about!

Whatever happened to the tradition

and dignity of Pal Bong Bakery?

This is preposterous!

I don't accept an apprentice

based on skill alone.

In Mok, what were you like

when you first met me?

What about you, Gap Su?

And you, Jin Gu?

What about Jae Bok?

You may all go now.

But what about Jin Gu?

Fate brings people together.

People are bound to meet again

if fate allows it.

It doesn't matter how unfortunate.

Don't you agree, Jin Gu?

You two will be living in this room.

The bathroom is at the end of the hall.

Hot water only runs from 2 to 3,

and from 7 p.m. to 9 p.m.

Schedule your shower time wisely.

Where am I going to eat?

The kitchen is downstairs.

Meal time is flexible depending

on work schedule.

Do we get laundry service?

The laundry room is next to the kitchen.

Just leave your dirty laundry in there.

Hey, I'm asking the questions.

Why are you looking at him?

Work starts at 3 a.m.

Don't be late.

My father can be pretty rough.

How does this family go?

Mr. Pal Bong is my maternal grandfather.

My father is the chief.

And, I'm his only daughter Yang Mi Sun.

What? Yang Mi Sun?

Hey ugly, why are you named Mi Sun?

If you have any other questions,

feel free to ask me later.

Okay, thanks.

Do you think your name matches your face?

I heard that you're from Japan.

I'm looking forward to your bread.

By Mr. Pal Bong's granddaughter too.

Why don't you change your name

to Yang Ugly instead?

Yang Ugly.

Sheesh!

Shut up and go to sleep.

Goodnight.

That ugly little...

You're too noisy.

Hey!

Hey, didn't you hear me calling you?

Are you really from Japan?

How is it there?

Do the women only wear kimono?

You must've rode the plane and looked

at the clouds from up close too.

Are they really fluffy like cotton candy

from up close?

Not all Korean women wear hanbok either.

And what makes you think that clouds

are fluffy like cotton candy?

Didn't you learn in elementary school

that clouds are a mass of droplets?

Didn't you go to school?

You noticed?

Yeah, I'm ignorant.

You're right. I didn't go to school.

I dropped out during elementary school.

I had to look for someone.

I lost my mother.

For the last 12 years,

I looked all over Korea for her.

That's why I couldn't go to school.

I'd like to set some rules in this room.

One, don't start conversations.

- What? - Two.

Don't act like a friend.

- Hey. - Three...

I don't want to hear your life story.

So, don't talk about yourself.

Hey, Seo Tae Jo.

Your name is Seo Tae Jo, right?

You don't have to be on guard.

I'm leaving as soon as I find

the man I'm looking for.

I'm not interested in baking either.

No need to think of me as a rival.

Geez, he's a hard man to please.

Where's Tak Goo?

I sent him far, far away.

Where to?

Somewhere far, so that he can

never come back to this house.

You'll never see him again.

But why? Why did he show up again?

Damn you...

What a nice place.

Gu Hyeong Jun, Gu Ma Jun.

Mr. Park, the attorney? It's me, Seo In Suk.

I need to talk to you about something.

It's about Mr. Choi's shares.

To your places!

This isn't your place.

What?

Take the 32 bags of flour

to the backyard downstairs.

Here you go, all 32 of them. I'm done.

Now, bring them all back upstairs.

What?

Bring them all back upstairs. All 32 of them.

What?

Hey! Are you wasting my time?

Very good. Yes, I'm wasting your time.

So, get them back upstairs!

There are two easy ways of getting out

of this place.

You can either beat someone up in the

bakery kitchen and get kicked out,

or give up on your own terms and walk out.

I wonder which one you'll take.

Yeah, right.

I'm not getting kicked out.

I'm not giving up either.

I'm not leaving until I find

the pin wheel tattooed man.

Okay, then keep carrying those flour bags.

Why, that ugly little...

Are you sure this is Kim Tak Goo?

Yes, I'm sure.

Why is he in that house? Why?

Get on it.

The car's ready, Sir.

Sir?

Oh, okay.

Why are you going to Incheon all of a sudden?

I'm going to visit my teacher.

Right now?

Yes, right now.

Let's go.

You have a fine son.

He's handsome, just like his father.

Jag Yeong is a little late.

She's obsessed with work.

She' in charge of the company

anniversary ceremony.

Kids nowadays are so active, unlike our days.

Still, she's only a woman.

3 Japanese artists are having

an exhibition next week.

You like art, right?

Hi, Jag Yeong.

Sorry, I'm late.

I was just telling them how busy

you are with work.

You must enjoy work.

I'm not that far ahead in my career

to consider work as an enjoyment.

She's working to get experience,

but she'll quit after she gets married.

I heard that Geoseong is going through

some financial difficulties,

but I find it appalling that you need your

daughter to help out at the company.

I don't know what you've heard,

but my company isn't shoddy enough

to hire a daughter in order to cut costs.

I'm only working because I want to learn.

Jag Yeong, I heard that you're a smart woman.

Still, you shouldn't talk to your elder like that.

I'm sorry if I offended you.

What are you sorry about?

You didn't say anything wrong.

When you're running a company,

you're bound to go through ups and downs.

Geoseong has gone through tons of crisis

in the last 30 or so years.

Still, we've always been the

♪ 1 bread maker in the country.

That won't change for at least 30 more years.

What are you trying to say?

I'm saying that we're not

a lucky parvenu like yourself.

Look here, Ms. Seo.

I arranged this meeting because I thought

you had character and class.

But, you can't help a parvenu.

I feel foolish for even thinking

about this marriage.

Let's not waste any more time. Let's go.

Mum, wait. Wait for me.

Quit your job.

Mum.

You've embarrassed me!

How could you let people like that

humiliate me like this?

You're just like your father!

You're the one who arranged this meeting,

and you're the one who ruined it!

I didn't want to come here today,

but I came to save your face.

Be quiet. Just quit your job.

Mum!

I don't like it one bit.

I don't like you, I don't like your father,

and I don't like where this company

and family are going.

I'm not going to sit around and watch any more.

I'm going to straighten everything out.

I'm going to start by making you quit your job.

So do as I say. Understand?

It's me, Mr. Park.

Did you look into what I asked for?

Is that so?

Then, I have no choice but to buy

them all at that price.

How many times has he done this?

This is his 4th time.

He's been going up and down

with 32 bags of flour?

He's very determined.

I thought he'd give up soon.

Are you tired already?

Is this all you can do?

How are you going to bake bread all day

long with a weak body like that?

You think I have a weak body?

Even if there's cider at the Incheon beach,

you can't drink it without a cup

I'm still going strong.

Thanks.

I carried 36 bags.

When I first came here,

I carried 36 bags of flour.

I know it's tough,

but he's making you do this for a reason.

It's not tough. To be honest, I feel good.

My past was more burdensome

than these 32 bags of flour.

I was eager to find my mum,

the pin wheel tattooed man...

And get my revenge on the man

who did this to us.

I was filled with thoughts like those.

But, I'm not thinking about

any of that right now.

I don't remember the last time

I sweated like this, carefree.

I feel bad for my mum, but I think

it's okay to feel like this for one day.

You're not the man I'm looking for, right?

Of course not.

That's why you got me this water, right?

Get back to work.

If he's not the man, that only leaves

the devil and the axe eyes.

The Devil.

Pal Bong Bakery.

The devil seems like a more likely candidate

than the axe eyes.

Thank you. Enjoy.

Hello, this is the bakery kitchen.

Okay, I'll be right down.

We have guests.

How may I help you?

There's someone named Kim Tak Goo here, right?

What?

Bring him out.

What is this about?

I said, bring Kim Tak Goo out!

Tell him to come out. Now!

What was that sound?

Did you hear something from downstairs?

Long time no see, In Mok.

How have you been, Gap Su?

Hi! It's nice to see you again, Il Jung!

I mean, Chairman Gu.

How may I help you?

I'm here to see our teacher.

Sit down, everyone.

- Come on, sit down. - Okay.

Il Jung is here?

Mr. Pal Bong.

Hi, Il Jung.

Hi.

What are you doing?

Why are you making a commotion

in my bakery?

Bring Kim Tak Goo here!

If you do, I'll take him and leave quietly!

I'm going to call the police.

What for?

To lock you guys behind bars!

Don't mess with me.

Don't mess with me. Let me go!

Why, you...

You must be Kim Tak Goo.

Yes, I'm Kim Tak Goo.

What business do I have with losers like you?

I need you to go somewhere with me.

I don't want to.

Then, I'll have to force you.

You jerk.

Are you okay? Are you okay?

Wow, that was something.

There's going to be blood.

What are you doing?

I'm going to kill you!

Go and get my father!

Oh, right!

How many years has it been?

I'm sorry for not being able

to visit you more often.

It's okay.

You're a busy man who is running a company.

No need to be sorry.

Next Friday is my company's 30th anniversary.

I can't believe how time flies!

It's already been 30 years?

That's why I brought this card

to invite you to the party.

An invitation?

Geoseong's 30th anniversary party.

Is everyone going to be attending

with tuxedos and dresses?

I'm sorry, but I have to get back to the kitchen.

Sir! Chief!

There are thugs thrashing the bakery!

What?

Are you squishing a mosquito or something?

You're all weak!

This fight's not going to be over any time soon.

We're not here to fight.

We're here to take you away.

I'm sorry, but I have business

to take care of in this bakery.

I'm not going anywhere until I take care

of my business.

Don't you know when to give up?

Crush him!

Stop it, everyone.

How dare you use violence in my bakery!

You're going to get it!

Go away!

We'll go away if you give us Kim Tak Goo.

Jin Gu, take Tak Goo upstairs.

Come on, take him upstairs!

There seems to be a commotion.

Maybe I should go and see what's up.

That won't be necessary.

I'm sure In Mok will take care of everything.

You have a meeting with the President

of Oseong Group in the evening.

You're going to be late if you don't leave

in 10 minutes.

Call and tell him that I'll be late.

Or reschedule it to tomorrow.

That won't be necessary. You should go.

I know that this invitation is just an excuse.

You're here because you're troubled in heart.

The word on the street is that your

company is going through difficulties.

I don't have anything to help you with.

But, if I were to give you some advice...

Take it easy, Il Jung.

Look at the sky, the mountain,

and the people around you.

You're always looking straight ahead.

No wonder you can't be happy.

I'm sorry, Sir.

Let's play Five in a Row the next time we meet.

Yes, Sir.

Come on, get in the car.

Oh, no! Look at the damage!

I'm so mad!

This is all because of Tak Goo.

The thugs came to get Kim Tak Goo.

The way I see it, he's nothing but disaster!

We shouldn't have taken him in!

Honey, we can't keep Kim Tak Goo in this house!

You know what?

We should tell Mr. Pal Bong everything

and kick him out.

Don't you think so too, In Mok?

Mi Sun.

Get an ice pack for the two guys upstairs.

Honey!

In Mok!

I can't believe this.

I waited for this day for the last 12 years.

I thought again and again about the day

I can meet you.

I wanted to beat you to near death before

I ask you why you kidnapped my mum.

Where's my mum?

Where is she?

Where's my mum?

Is she okay?

You don't have to tell me anything else.

Just tell me that she's okay.

She's okay, right?

Don't do this to me.

Don't forgive me.

Don't do this.

Don't forgive me.

I said, don't do this!

Don't do this. Don't apologise.

I don't need you to do this.

Just tell me where she is.

Just tell me that she's okay.

I couldn't stop her.

I didn't know that there was a cliff there.

If only I had ran faster,

if only I had caught up to her...

No!

No!

I won't hate you even if you kill me.

I don't have a right to hate you.

I'm really sorry.

Shut up! Don't say that!

My mum's alive and well, right?

Tell me that she's okay! Tell me!

What's that sound?

I don't know.

I think I heard someone crying.

Hey, Tae Jo.

Hey, Tae Jo.

Yes, Sir.

Can you throw this out too?

Okay.

Il Jung, are you leaving?

Too bad we didn't get to share

a drink together.

Is he working here?

Yes, today is his first day.

He's from Japan. I think he's good.

Is that so?

Yes. Why?

Nothing.

Tak Goo, what are you doing here?

I heard that you didn't eat anything

the whole day.

Come with me.

What are you doing?

I'm making bread.

How should I live now?

The only thing that kept me going...

was my hope of finding my mother...

But, I can't find her.

How should I live now?

You have to wait.

What?

You have to wait until the bread bakes

so it can be delicious.

I don't like bread.

It brings bad memories.

It reminds me of bad people.

I get rashes when I eat bread.

That's how much I hate it.

I hate it so much that I throw up

when I swallow it.

That means you weren't a good person.

To be a good person means to drive out

hate and anger from your heart.

I'm sure that's what your mother meant

when she told you to be good.

She wanted you to understand and forgive

instead of harbouring hatred and anguish.

That way, you can win in life.

Gramps, how did you know?

I met a boy 12 years ago.

He had honest, strong, and fearless eyes.

But, your eyes are filled with hatred right now.

Why don't you make peace with bread?

After all, bread once made you happy.

Think of the happy memories.

And make peace with the hatred

and pain in your heart.

Don't forget to drink tea.

But you know what?

You're my precious son.

I know.

You're the only one I care about.

I know.

Don't forget to drink tea.

That was a surprise.

I didn't expect to see you there.

I didn't expect Father and you

to show up either.

How did you come up with the idea

of studying under your father's teacher?

Do I have to explain everything to you?

You're behind today's commotion, right?

You're the one who sent the thugs, right?

My plan didn't work out.

Your plan never worked in the first place.

After meeting Tak Goo again,

I realised that you can't avoid fate.

You're not God.

How could you change fate?

Regardless of whether it is fate or not,

I'll take care of it.

Don't take care of it.

Don't bother Tak Goo any more.

If anyone gets rid of him, it'll be me.

If anyone breaks him, it'll be me.

I'm going to deal with him myself.

So don't meddle in.

If you meddle in again,

I'll consider it as a move to stop me.

- Ma Jun. - I won't be using

that name for a while.

Don't call me by that name.

Come to the company anniversary party.

Your mother will be waiting for you.

Maybe, if you promise not to tell her about this.

Excuse me.

I realised that you can't avoid fate.

Excuse me.

Girls!

Yug Yeong!

You're not God.

How could you change fate?

He's back.

Do whatever it takes to stop him!

Hello, Ma'am.

Bring my mother back to life!

What do you think you're doing?

You didn't know?

I didn't ask for an untimely report.

What are you going to do?

It depends on how you behave.

Guess what?

You're a very special son to me.
