Kim Tak Goo! Are you sleeping?

Aren't you going home?

I'll take you home. Get in the cab.

Are you going to stay here all night long?

I'll take you home.

Let's go.

Let me go!

Let's go.

Is this where you live?

You know what? Let's get out of here.

You should eat.

I doubt you had anything to eat,

and this is not a sanitary place to cook.

Why did you do it?

Why did you make.

Tak Goo promise you that?

Aren't you going to eat?

You already have everything.

You have much more

than what Tak Goo has.

Let's go outside and eat.

Do you enjoy torturing and

taking things away from the poor?

You know that Tak Goo

doesn't have anything.

He doesn't have anything left.

Yes, I know! He doesn't have anything!

But why are you so hung up on him?

Because he's all I've got.

He did what my father couldn't do for me.

He's the only person I can smile in front

of without reserve.

That may not mean much to you...

But it's all I've got.

You don't know what that means, huh?

I doubt you do.

You never had to wish for anything.

You were born with everything.

Go away. I don't even want to look at you.

I'll do it for you.

I'll do what he can't do for you.

Let me go.

What do you need?

Do you need money and clothes?

Let's get a new house for you first.

I'll get you a cleaner and better house.

Let me go!

Be mine.

Be mine, Shin Yug Yeong.

I don't know what I've done.

I said that I'm willing to do anything

to get Shin Yug Yeong out,

but now that I can't see her for the

next 2 years, this is driving me crazy.

Why did you make that promise

in the first place?

It was the only thing I could do.

What are you going to do now?

I'm going to learn.

And I'm going to beat him.

Now that I'm going to compete with.

Seo Tae Jo, I'm going to bear him.

I'm sure I'll be able to do it if

I study hard for 2 years.

Do you think baking is that easy?

What's so hard about it?

I'm sure I'll be able to pull it off.

You're going to help me, right?

I'll give you an advice.

You can't beat him, even if you were

born with a perfect sense of smell.

You may be able to learn,

but 2 years is not enough time

to get my grandfather's approval.

And you won't be able to beat Seo Tae Jo.

That's what's going to

happen after 2 years.

So you're not going to help me?

2 years is not enough!

Isn't there any way?

No.

Not even a chance for a miracle?

Nope. No way.

Never.

Pal Bong Bakery.

Still, I want to win.

What do I have to do, Yug Yeong?

Think about it.

I'm sure you don't want to end your

life in a shabby house like this.

I'll get you out of here.

I'll help you get out of poverty.

Don't try to change the world.

You're the only one who needs to change.

If you become rich and powerful,

the world will change too.

80 Samcheong dong Jongno Gu, Seoul.

Attn: The younger lady of the house.

Murderer

I think it's from Tak Goo.

I knew something bad was going to

happen when I heard that he's back.

He's probably after my money.

He probably wants to use his mother's

disappearance to blackmail me.

I'll look into this.

What if it's not Tak Goo?

No one knows what happened

that night, right?

We were the only people

who were there that night.

And we're the only ones who know

what happened that night too.

I have a bad feeling about this.

This letter came before

my mother-in-law's memorial.

You're being too sensitive.

You're blowing this out of proportion.

You're probably right.

We're the only ones who know

what happened that night.

Don't worry.

I sent Gong Ju out to run an errand.

He's here for Ja Rim.

Hi, Dr. Yun.

Hi.

I was wondering what to do

because I thought no one was home.

Ja Rim is in her room.

Okay, I'll go upstairs.

Dr. Ju personally recommended him.

We can trust him.

Find out where that letter came from.

If my guess is right, take care of him.

Either pay him to shut his mouth, or...

Okay, I'll take care of it.

Lower your voice.

Remember, I told you to stop him

with your life.

Don't worry.

I already have someone on it.

I also heard that you had to take care

of your ill younger sister.

What do you want from me?

Let's talk about Kim Tak Goo first.

I need someone to spy on him

during his stay at the Pal Bong Bakery.

That person also needs

to limit his radius of action

from time to time upon my instructions.

I'm sure you're willing to do this for me.

Why do you think that?

Because if you do, your sister will be

taken care of in a much better facility.

He's so weird.

What's up with him this time?

I don't know. I can't figure Tak Goo out.

What did Tak Goo do this time?

I don't know why, but he's now eager

to learn baking.

He wants to get Mr. Pal Bong's letter

of approval after 2 years.

He's out of his mind.

He doesn't know what he's talking about.

That's the silliest thing I've heard.

Are you out of your mind?

What did you say that you want?

A letter of approval from Mr. Pal Bong.

Are you drunk?

No, I'm sober.

Then why do you say that?

I'll work hard.

I'll study hard to master the techniques.

Pastry is not just about the techniques.

Then what else do I need?

Just tell me what it is, and I'll do it.

Be quiet.

You won't be ready even after

you wash dishes for 3 years.

Go to your room.

Please, Mr. Pal Bong?

Hey!

What is your reason?

Why do you need my letter of approval

all of a sudden?

I promised Seo Tae Jo that we'll take

your test together after 2 years.

What?

You're going to compete with Tae Jo?

Yes, I'm going to compete with him.

And...

I want to win.

You're a fool.

Wait, chief!

You want to win me?

Oh, geez...

I don't think laughing is

the way to handle this.

He's nothing but trouble.

I don't even know where

to begin with him.

He lived on the streets by himself

since he was 12.

He didn't care for anything except his

mission to find his mother.

I'm sure he's not logical in any way.

Still, you shouldn't go too easy on him.

But since you held the stick,

I have to hold the carrot.

But...

Everyone pushed him away

ever since he lost his mother.

No one embraced him.

But he's baking to win.

I can't let him stay that way.

Let me ask you a question.

Why did you let him in the kitchen again?

What?

Why did you take him back

when he wanted to come back?

You said that the order came from

a paediatric ward.

All the kids there will be waiting

for their bread to come!

You saw his heart that day.

Why don't you trust him?

If you plant faith in his heart,

I'm sure he'll grow.

Are you really going to

make him compete with Tae Jo?

That'll be fun. But...

I'll leave that up to you.

To your places! Places!

Here's a list of the breads

that we're going to bake today.

Kim Tak Goo, why didn't you wipe

the water off the metal sheets?

What?

If there's water on the metal sheets

in this weather, they'll go bad.

And you want Mr. Pal Bong's

letter of approval?

I'll clean them again.

Make sure both sides of the metal sheets

have the same colour.

Yes, Sir.

Make them shiny enough so you can see

your reflection on it.

So I can see my reflection! Yes, Sir.

Do over.

Do over.

Do over.

Yes, Sir.

Are you sure about this?

Do you think you can compete with me

by cleaning metal sheets for 2 years?

I'm a man. I keep my promises.

I'll compete with you fair and square

after 2 years.

Don't worry about it.

Don't be fair and square.

You'll never beat me that way.

Do whatever it takes.

Put your life on the line. You know why?

Because that's what I'll do.

Tak Goo! You have a guest.

A guest? For me?

Yes. It's a man dressed in a suit.

What brings you here?

How's working at the bakery?

Did you come all the way

here to ask me that?

Why don't you send the thugs in again?

Aren't you going to drag me to

a warehouse this time?

Is that why you sent that

threatening letter?

What letter?

The threatening letter that you sent to

the lady of the Geoseong family.

Did you do that to get back at me?

Look, Mr. Han.

I don't know what you're talking about.

Did you do that to blackmail her?

Tell me how much you need.

How much do I have to pay you to severe

your ties with the Geoseong family?

Now you're going to buy me out?

Tell me how much you want.

Look, Mr. Han!

I already severed my ties

with the Geoseong family!

When I left that house

12 years ago, I swore

that I'll never set foot in there again!

You really didn't send that letter?

I'm a man.

I'd never do something dirty like that.

This has got to stop. Leave me alone!

If you keep provoking me,

I don't know what I'll do.

I might even decide to go

and see the Chairman.

If you show up in front of me again,

I won't let you get away with it.

♪ 5, please taste the way I imagined.

Oh, geez.

Kim Tak Goo!

I didn't use my fist. I used my knee.

I kept my promise.

Ma Jun.

I told you not to do anything.

Did you forget what I said?

I told you that I'll decide

what to do with him.

I told you not to touch him.

Stop butting in.

You look pale.

Are you eating right?

Why is that any of your business?

Are you my father or something?

Still, you should tell me how long

you're planning to stay there.

Your mother is worried sick about you.

She keeps demanding me to find you.

I'll be here for 2 years.

2 years? That long?

I don't care how long it takes.

I'm going to get that

letter of approval for Father.

Don't ever set foot

in the Pal Bong Bakery again.

Mr. Han.

You should call your mother at least.

Stop saying your mother.

She's your boss.

You've been with my family for a long time,

but you should know your boundaries.

You're right.

I'll be more careful next time.

Father...

I'm sorry. Please don't hit me.

Father, please don't hit me.

I'm sorry, Father.

You're not taking Yug Yeong away.

Stop hitting her. Stop hitting her!

Tak Goo!

Where are you going?

To see Tak Goo.

I want to see Tak Goo.

Hey! Shin Yug Yeong!

Hey!

It's malnutrition.

She also has some bruises.

Malnutrition?

Yes, she should rest in the hospital

for about a week.

Go ahead. Charge the bill to my name.

Okay.

A student radical with

the best grades in her

department suffering from malnutrition.

Who are you, Shin Yug Yeong?

Why did you act so proud in front of me

while you were living like this?

Come in.

This is the marketing strategy regarding

the French equipment.

Why didn't you give this to me

at the company?

That's what I told Mr. Han.

I also have something to tell you.

What is it?

I want to visit Grandmother's grave

with you on her memorial day.

That won't be necessary.

That's not a woman's job.

I'm the eldest daughter of this family.

I'm your eldest daughter.

So give me a chance.

Jag Yeong.

I can do it. I won't disappoint you.

I'll read this and give it back to

you tomorrow through Mr. Han.

Okay.

We're leaving early on Saturday.

We're leaving at 7 a.m. at the latest.

Don't be late.

You may go now.

Okay.

It's delicious!

Tak Goo, where are you?

Yeast, yeast...

Calcium phosphate...

Potassium phosphate...

What are you doing?

I'm studying by myself

because no one will teach me.

You're studying by yourself?

Yes, I'm studying by myself.

Let me see.

Potassium phosphate.

Potassium phosphate...

I'm going to study this tomorrow.

I'll read this instead.

Do you know how many different types

of breads there are in the world?

At least 30,000.

How are you going to study the

profound world of bread by yourself?

It's not possible.

Fine, I'm not good enough.

I don't know anything.

I'm ignorant because I dropped out

of elementary school.

I don't know anything about bread.

I don't know how to beat Seo Tae Jo either.

I went to see my father for

the first time in 12 years,

but I didn't even get to say hi to him.

I was too embarrassed to show myself

in front of him after he

called me a special boy.

I felt insecure and sorry...

Hey Kim Tak Goo.

That's why I'm not going to live

like that any more.

Be it bread or beating Seo Tae Jo,

I want to live with a goal.

That way, if I see my mother again,

I can proudly greet her and say,

Hi. I'm your son Kim Tak Goo.

Tak Goo.

So don't tell me that I can't do this.

I'm going to give it a try.

I'm allowed to dream, right?

There are 4 basic things.

Flour, water, salt, and yeast.

They're the 4 basic ingredients

to make bread.

My grandfather said that in order to get

far, you have to start from the near.

In order to climb high, you need to start

from the low.

Hey ugly.

Let's start from there.

Let's start with flour,

water, salt, and yeast.

Are you making wanton skins?

Good morning, chief.

Kneading the dough has nothing to do

with being strong.

See? You over mixed it.

I see. Do it over.

Okay.

Over missing? Over... Over...

It's over mixing, not over missing.

It means you kneaded the dough too much.

If it's underdone, the dough shrinks.

If it's overdone, it sags.

Oh, I see.

Mixing. That's peculiar.

Then what's saengji?

It's another word for dough.

Oh, they're the same thing?

Mi Sun, you know everything!

I'm impressed.

What's this? Claripy?

- Clarify? - Yes.

This is...

Our yeast is not just a lump of dough.

It's a living thing.

Wow, that's so cool.

Someone left this flower this year too.

Who left this?

I don't know who this person is,

but it's been about 10 years.

Someone leaves this

flower here every year

on your grandmother's memorial day.

This was Grandma's favourite flower.

This person probably knew her very well.

I wonder who this person is.

Me too.

Let's greet your grandmother.

Okay.

Seung Jae...

What do you have against my family?

How could you plot this scheme?

How could you betray him like this?

How could you plot this evil scheme?

I won't let you two get away with this.

You won't get away with this.

Mr. Han.

Mr. Han.

Yes, Sir.

Do you know whose car that is?

No.

You've gotten much better.

Can I go outside?

You can do light activities like going

shopping, but don't overdo yourself.

I see.

Are you done treating her?

I won't have to come in starting

from tomorrow.

I'll introduce you to a psychiatrist.

She should get therapy once a week.

Okay, let's do that. Thank you, Dr. Yun.

Don't mention it.

By the way, his girlfriend is very beautiful.

What?

I'm talking about Ma Jun's girlfriend.

What are you talking about?

You didn't know?

I'm lucky to have a boyfriend like him.

Not everyone can get a private hospital

room like this for his sick girlfriend.

You're so lucky.

This is ♪1209. Okay.

It's your boyfriend.

Hello?

Do you feel better now?

Why did you bring me here?

I'm uncomfortable with his place.

I want a new room or get discharged...

Yet you never thank me.

It's okay. I wasn't looking forward to it.

I got permission to stay out tonight.

I'll be there soon.

Stay there until I get there.

Hello? Are you listening to me?

Shin Yug Yeong!

This is your mother, Ma Jun.

Is this your new girlfriend?

mum.

Okay, Ma Jun. We'll talk later.

I'll take care of everything here.

So that's what happened.

Ja Rim invited you to the party.

That's where you met Ma Jun.

You've been seeing him since then.

You put my daughter through hell by

luring her into your radical group.

And you've been using my son like this?

I heard that you're smart,

but you're very good.

Don't talk to me that way.

So?

How far did you get with Ma Jun?

Do I need to pay you?

Or can I just ask you

to break up with him?

I've dealt with many

girls who swarmed

around Ma Jun.

They all left in the same way.

How much do you want?

That's enough.

I know what you're trying to say.

You can stop now.

Yug Yeong...

Yug Yeong, you're okay.

When did you get out? And how?

Are you okay? Did you get hurt?

I'm sorry, Yug Yeong.

I didn't mean to hurt you.

I was too scared...

It's okay.

All rich people are like that.

People like you don't care

about friendship or loyalty.

Yug Yeong.

It's okay. We'll call it even.

What?

You didn't join the group

because you had a cause.

It was a cool hobby for you.

It was the same for me too.

I only hung out with you because I wanted

to know how the rich people think.

How could you say that, Yug Yeong?

We're friends.

I only pretended to be your friend.

Go.

I hope we don't see each other again.

It's Ma Jun! I'm happy to see you again.

Are you here for your

grandmother's memorial?

Where's my mum?

I'm here.

Hi, son.

Why did you go to the hospital?

That's the first thing you're

going to say to me?

She really is sick.

That's the perfect excuse

to try get your attention.

Don't ever see her again.

She's not right for you.

Cut it out, mum!

How much longer are you

going to meddle in my life?

I'm 24 years old.

So? You have a horrible taste in women.

mum!

That's enough.

I'll choose who you're going to marry.

mum!

I'll find a classy and elegant lady

who is from a prominent family,

who will serve you well.

That's the kind of daughter-in-law

I'm going to get. Understand?

What have you been up to, Ma Jun?

Where are you staying?

You don't have to know.

Are you asking me to send someone

to investigate you?

You'd better not.

If you do, I'm going to hide

where you'll never find me.

Then tell me.

I trusted you and waited for you.

You should at least give me a hint.

That way, I won't have to worry.

Where are you staying?

I'm working under Mr. Pal Bong.

Your father's teacher?

Yes.

Why did you go there?

Getting Mr. Pal Bong's approval is the

fastest way to win Father's heart.

I can't believe you thought of that.

I can take care of myself. So...

Okay, I understand.

I won't meddle in your life any more.

I wanted you to focus more on running

the company, but that's a good idea too.

Do you feel better now?

Of course. I'm grateful.

Thanks, son.

What do you think? Does this look okay?

You should bake this first to see

what the problem is.

You want me to bake this?

Get permission from Jin Gu before you use

the oven.

He hates it when someone uses the oven

without his permission.

Really?

I'm sure he'll help you.

After all, he's nice to you.

Forget it. I don't need his help.

You can't make bread without baking it.

You need Jin Gu's help in

order to bake bread.

Good luck.

I'm getting off work.

She's a lucky woman.

She's been dead for many years,

but her family gathers every year

on her memorial day.

She's much happier than I am.

Don't you think so too?

What happened to the letter?

I checked the postmark on the envelope.

Where is it from?

Cheongsan.

Where? Cheongsan?

You're too loud. Lower your voice.

Are you saying that it wasn't.

Tak Goo who sent the letter?

Then who sent it?

I don't know anything yet.

I'll get back to you after

I get more information.

Ma'am!

How is she?

I gave her a sedative.

She'll feel better after a good night's rest.

I see.

Uh, I just...

Do you need this baked?

I can do it on my own later.

Before you bake the bread,

it's nothing but a lump of yeast.

You need to bake it in order to know

what you've made.

Wait!

This doesn't change anything.

I just...

I know.

I'm just helping you as your senior.

Are you happy now?

Wait!

What was that sound?

Did that sound come

from the bakery kitchen?

I think something blew up.

Let's go.

Are you sure about this?

Open the window. The window!

Tak Goo!

Jin Gu!

Oh, no. Tak Goo!

Tak Goo!

Tak Goo!

I'm okay now. Let's go.
