Who is he?

Seo Tae Jo...

What's going on?

Is he your co-worker?

You should go home.

I'm not finished talking with you.

Just go home, will you?

Okay, I guess this is too sudden for you.

Come home this weekend

and we'll resume his conservation, Ma Jun.

Why aren't you coming in, Tak Goo?

Seo Tae Jo! Kim Tak Goo! What's going on?

Excuse me.

What did you just say?

What?

Did you just say, Kim Tak Goo?

What?

Yes, because his name is Kim Tak Goo. Why?

You're Tak Goo?

Are you really Kim Tak Goo?

Long time no see.

What?

Someone saw Tak Goo?

Someone saw a kid who

looks like Tak Goo 14 years ago.

Would you like to meet him?

Who is he?

Where can I go and meet that person?

Come on in.

Excuse me.

Are you the man who saw my son?

Who are you?

Do you remember me from yesterday?

Oh, you're the doctor.

Can you tell her the story

that you told me yesterday?

Oh, about that kid?

Do you know Tak Goo?

Gosh, I'm not supposed to tell you this.

Tell me.

I can give you more money.

About 13 or 14 years ago, a man from

a rich family came to me and offered me

money to sell a kid off to a fishing boat.

Sell a kid off to a fishing boat?

But he was some kid.

Where's my mother? Where is she?

Your mother?

Why are you asking us where your mother is?

He told me that I'll find her here.

This is what you get for trusting people

too easily, kid.

Let's go.

No, I'm not going with you.

Let me go! I'm not going.

Come on!

Let me go!

What happened after that?

I don't know. He ran away. We lost him.

He would be lucky if he didn't starve

to death on the streets.

What?

What did you say?

- What did you say? - Mi Sun!

Do you know how old he was?

He was 12! He was only 12!

You tried to sell him off to a fishing boat?

Don't you have a child too?

Calm down, Mi Sun.

Where is my son? Find him!

Find Tak Goo! I want Tak Goo back!

Mi Sun!

Gosh...

Calm down.

Calm down.

He only 12. He was only 12.

I won't forgive them. I'll never forgive them.

He just won't go away.

He must have a lot of nerves.

It's me.

Remember where we went today?

Yes, the Pal Bong place.

Find out more about that place.

Report to me as soon as you find

something wrong with them.

Bye.

What's going on?

No wonder you sometimes reminded me of him.

You were always cold to me.

You only used harsh words.

When were you going to tell me?

Were you ever going to tell me?

Did you hate me that much?

I just wanted to be Seo Tae Jo in this bakery.

It's been 2 years.

You didn't care to tell me for 2 years?

What did you expect from me?

Do you think I should've given you a hug

or something?

Was I supposed to ask how you've been

and why you left my house?

Was I supposed to sit down and listen

to your life story?

Why should I? Who do you think you are?

You've always been nothing but

an annoying beggar to me!

Is that why you challenged me

to this competition?

Is that why you forbade me

from seeing Yug Yeong?

Did you do that only because I'm Kim Tak Goo

and you're Gu Ma Jun?

Why?

What did I ever do to you?

What did I ever do wrong?

I just didn't like you.

I didn't like the way you smiled and talked.

I loathed you whenever I saw you.

Satisfied?

I see.

I understand what you mean.

Yug Yeong! Yug Yeong!

Shin Yug Yeong! Yug Yeong!

Who is it?

I'm here to see Shin Yug Yeong.

She's the college student who lives here.

Shin Yug Yeong?

Oh, her?

She moved out a long time ago.

Yug Yeong moved out?

To where?

Did she leave her contact information?

I'm Kim Tak Goo.

Did she leave a note for me?

I don't know.

Why hadn't I thought of that?

Why did I think that you would be here

waiting for me?

Do you think she'll wait for you?

You don't have anything to show for.

No money, no education, and no talent.

Yug Yeong...

I organised the files from

the business strategy team.

You're good.

Thank you, Mr. Han.

I found a few jobs for you.

They're all good companies

with excellent benefits.

I'm sorry, but I won't take this.

I'm not going to resign on my own will.

If you must kick me out of this company,

I expect a good reason.

Miss Shin, you can't win this war.

You'll eventually have to leave this company.

You should take this when I'm asking nicely.

What's the occasion?

Is it your birthday?

No, I'm supposed to meet my friend this day.

Why did you circle the date?

I'm meeting him for the first time in 2 years.

Thank you. Bye.

Excuse me.

Coming!

Incheon Namgu Yonghyeondong 60 Kim Tak Goo.

Shin Yug Yeong.

For Kim Tak Goo.

He doesn't have enough time or ingredients.

He only has 5 days left.

I don't know if he can even bake one until then.

Are you worried?

What?

Because it sounds like you're worried

about Tak Goo.

Of course not.

Why would I worry about him?

I still think that we should make him do

the dishes for 3 more years.

Then there's no need to be concerned.

If he fails the competition,

you can make him start over and do the dishes.

Yes... You're right.

What are you going to do about bong bread?

You're not going to give the recipe away

like Tae Jo asked, are you?

We'll see.

I'm against the idea.

It could ruin your reputation...

Life is short,

and so is the life of a person's reputation.

But...

Don't worry.

Everything and everyone follows

their destiny in the end.

My journal will find its owner someday too.

Its owner? Who are you referring to?

Bong Bread.

The person who wants this recipe the most...

The person who dreams the most

will become its owner.

What's wrong? Are you stuck?

Jin Gu is worried about you.

He's wondering if something is wrong.

He says that you seem out of it.

Yeah...

Is it because of the woman who

came over the other day?

You've been acting strange ever since she came.

Who is she?

No one.

Shin Yug Yeong.

The lady is coming.

Good afternoon.

Come in.

What did you want to talk to me about?

It's about the shares that I bought

2 years ago from Mr. Choi.

I can give them to you.

On what condition?

You know what I want.

You're still not over that family register issue?

And tell Ma Jun to come back.

If you do, I'll take my hands off.

Mr. Choi's shares.

If you do that for me,

I'll entrust the rights to the shares to

you and stay out of company business.

I'll give up my voting rights in the board too.

I don't want to fight over a boy

we haven't seen for 14 years.

Besides, you were planning on

bringing Ma Jun to the company too.

I want you to advance the date.

This is my last request.

You can consider this my final notice.

Where is Tak Goo?

Is he even going to practice today?

It's very hard.

Huh? Aren't you that boy?

What are you doing here?

You told me to come over for some bread.

Ta-dah!

That's too much bread!

He can't finish all that.

You can take the rest of them home.

Our bakery makes great bread.

Did you make these?

Huh? Um...

No, they were made by people

who are much better than I am.

Have some.

You don't like it?

Do you want something else?

Is there anything that you made?

That's too bad. I didn't bake today.

Oh, no.

I brought him because he has been

begging me for your bread.

Here is the bread that he made.

What are you doing?

Did you make these?

Yes, he made these.

Try it. He made barley bread.

Why are you giving him that for?

It's good.

Really? Do you really like it?

You're a very nice kid.

The barley is too stiff.

What?

You should add twice the water for barley

and cook for a long time.

When you cook corn,

you should add less water.

If you add a little salt, it'll taste much better.

I see.

Is the bread too stiff?

Here, have some water.

It's still good.

It's all right.

Take a good look.

They're your first customers.

What should I do if the bread dries up?

You need to keep the moisture in the oven.

Moisture...

Remember this temperature.

This is the perfect temperature to bake.

You need to keep the moisture in the oven.

Please...

I'm begging you.

- Here you go. - Thank you.

Are you Jo Jin Gu?

You are, right? The Pin wheel tattooed

man from Cheongsan?

Who are you?

This person is looking for you.

Shin Yug Yeong.

What should I do?

The competition is in 2 days.

Should I give him this letter or not?

Are you practising? It smells good.

Want to try?

Why? You don't like it?

Is it bad?

It's soft.

The bread is soft and moist.

It's good.

Really? Is it really good?

Yes, it's really good.

You're serious, right?

You're not kidding, right?

It really is good.

She says it's good!

Oh, my gosh! Oh, my gosh!

Mi Sun! Mi Sun!

I did it! I did it!

Oh, right!

Let's go.

We have a lot left over today too.

Hey kid!

Here you go. I made these.

They're not stiff this time.

You can eat them without water.

Here.

Wow, it's good.

It is, right?

This is all thanks to you! Thank you!

Thank you, my first customer!

I was surprised to hear that you are

now Mr. Pal Bong's apprentice.

I thought I saw you at my company

the other way.

I wanted to check if that really was you or not.

And if that was you,

I'd like to know why you were at my company.

Was it really you?

Was it you?

I think so.

Why?

Why did you come to my company?

Hey.

Before I answer,

I want to ask you something too.

Are you still looking for your lost son?

Why are you bringing that up?

What will you do if you find your lost son?

Your son's head is filled with thoughts

about his lost mother.

How will he feel if he finds out

that it was his own father

who took his mother away from him?

What are you talking about?

Tell me what's going on.

What are you trying to say?

I can't give you the answer that you want

until you answer my question.

Hey.

He can finally smile now.

I don't want him to feel any more pain.

Him?

Who are you talking about?

Who are you talking about?

Tak Goo.

Kim Tak Goo, whose names means to seek

what's noble.

What is it?

Why did you ask me to come out?

This is my 1st bread.

It's my boiled barley bread. Try it.

So you can finally make decent bread.

Did you want to brag that much?

Yes, I wanted to brag.

What did you use?

This is supposed to be a secret,

but I used a water cup.

A water cup?

I put a water cup in the oven when I

baked this, and look how moist it became.

Why are you letting me sample this?

We're competing against each other.

Still, you're a friend who helped me.

Are you kidding me? You know who I am.

You said that you wanted to remain.

Seo Tae Jo at Pal Bong Bakery.

Go ahead.

I'll treat you like Seo Tae Jo from this bakery,

not the Gu Ma Jun who hated me.

We can do that until the competition is over.

Does this mean that Seo Tae Jo can be

your friend, but not Gu Ma Jun?

Is that it?

I'll see you tomorrow at the competition,

Seo Tae Jo.

Do you know Tak Goo?

He came to see me 2 years ago.

Tak Goo came to see you?

He wandered around for 12 years by himself,

determined to find his mother

before he finally found me.

Where is he?

Can you reach him?

I need your answer first.

How are you going to explain to him what

you ordered me to do in Cheongsan?

Here's a list of Mr. Na's transactions and

the people he met during the past week.

Did Mr. Na meet him too?

Mr. Na unexpectedly ran into him

at the hotel parking lot after a meeting.

I took a picture just in case.

You haven't eaten anything for days.

Mi Sun.

I can't forgive them.

I'll never forgive them.

Just wait and see.

I'll protect him at all costs.

To your places!

Places!

Today is phase 1 of the competition.

Is everyone ready?

Yes, we're ready!

Let's begin.

I baked a cooking bread with ham, corn,

vegetables, and cheese.

Cooking bread?

Just like we need side dishes when we eat rice,

I added other ingredients to fill you up.

I cooked a pastry.

But pastry doesn't fill you up.

I added sweet potato cream when I made

the dough so that it'll be filling.

I added sweet potatoes and

nuts to make it nutritious as well.

I combined cake and bread.

Bread is all about sharing.

I came up with bread that you can share

with a lot of people, like a cake.

What kind of bread is that, Tak Goo?

I baked boiled barley bread.

I made it with boiled barley and corn.

Boiled barley?

You added boiled barley?

What made you come up with that idea?

It wasn't really an idea.

I just wanted to add everything.

I wanted to add the rice ball that a boy

gave me when I was hungry.

I wanted to put in the efforts

of the people who helped me,

like Jae Bok, Mi Sun, and Tae Jo.

Although the bread doesn't look appealing,

I have faith that it can fill people up.

I see. I will now judge the breads.

I'll start with Mi Sun.

Yes?

The bread and cake go together very well.

It's soft.

I especially like how you want to share food.

You passed.

Thank you, Grandpa.

Jae Bok.

Yes, Mr. Pal Bong.

It was interesting how you wanted

to combine the idea of side dishes.

But the ingredients don't go

together very well with the bread.

You added too much cheese and butter.

It tastes too oily.

I'm sorry, but you didn't pass.

I see.

But I'm sure baking this bread

has given you a great lesson.

That should be enough, right?

Yes, Mr. Pal Bong.

And you, Tae Jo.

Yes, Mr. Pal Bong.

You have the most excellent technique.

I like how you filled pastry with sweet potatoes.

It's creative and delicious.

You're very good.

Thank you.

But...

There's something cold about your bread.

What?

It's hard to feel satisfied when

you're eating bread that feels cold.

What am I going to do with you?

I'll give you one more chance.

If you can't get rid of this cold energy

by next time, you'll be disqualified.

Yes, Mr. Pal Bong.

And lastly, Tak Goo.

Yes, Mr. Pal Bong.

Your bread looks the least appetizing

out of the four.

Uh-huh.

You didn't use good ingredients either.

Uh-huh.

But your bread has the best scent

out of the four.

Boiled barley and corn helped the poor

survive the barley hump.

They filled the hungry and the poor.

I commend you for using ingredients

that can satisfy the poor.

I especially liked how you made

the barley and corn soft.

So that means...

You passed.

What? Really?

Yes, you passed.

Nice work, everyone.

I will give you the phase

2 assignment tomorrow.

Interesting.

What an interesting taste.

Cheers.

Cheers.

What do you think, ugly?

Don't you think I'm cool now?

You only passed phase 1. Stop bragging.

He has every right to brag.

I sampled his bread. I was surprised.

I can understand why Mr. Pal Bong

complimented the scent.

I don't know how to explain this,

but eating it made me feel good.

This is all thanks to you, Jae Bok.

I couldn't have done this without your flour.

Don't say that. You're making me feel bad.

I feel great.

Me too.

- Me too. - Let's make another toast.

- Cheers! - Cheers!

This is really soft.

This is for passing phase 1.

This is a letter from Yug Yeong.

It's been a few days, but I've been putting

it off because of the competition.

6 p.m. on the 25th in front

of the Namsan clock tower?

That's today, right?

Oh, geez!

Hey!

Kim Tak Goo! What about our party?

I'm sorry, Mi Sun.

I'll leave Mi Sun to you, Jae Bok!

What?

I'll take this!

Hey!

I have to go.

Kim Tak Goo!

Mi Sun! Mi Sun!

Yug Yeong wants to meet me!

At 6 p.m. on the 25th,

in front of the Namsan clock tower.

Yug Yeong!

Yug Yeong!

An emergency? What is it?

The Chairman's wife asked for you.

What?

I tried to go,

but she insisted that we should send you.

Right now?

Excuse me. Where's the clock tower?

Over there.

Thank you.

Na Jin, you've gotten much prettier.

Miss Shin is here.

I see.

I'm talking to the guests. Tell her to wait.

Okay.

I heard that you're majoring in cello.

Yes.

What are you doing here?

The lady of the house asked me to come.

mum asked you?

Ma Jun.

Ma Jun is here.

Hi, Ma Jun.

Ms. Lee and Na Jin are here.

They came because they wanted to see you.

Why did you ask someone from the

company to come here on a Sunday?

I needed her to come.

Go upstairs and get dressed. Let's eat.

Jag Yeong and Ja Rim.

Take Ms. Lee and Na Jin to the dining room.

I need you to wait a little longer, Miss Shin.

We have guests.

Yes, Ma'am.

You should get dressed.

Ma Jun.

What is the matter with mum?

She came to the bakery a few days ago,

sounding like she had something

important to talk about.

Why did she invite Na Jin?

Why is Shin Yug Yeong here too?

Why do you think mum made Shin Yug Yeong

come on a Sunday family gathering?

No, Ma Jun. Don't do it.

If you make a commotion,

you'll place Shin Yug Yeong in trouble.

Excuse me.

Is there another clock tower in this area?

No, this is it.

Thank you very much.

I'm leaving.

Ma Jun, that's very rude of you.

Sit down.

I came because you had something to say.

I didn't come here to kill time and chat.

I'm busy.

I said, sit down.

I'm sorry, Ms. Lee. Bye, Na Jin.

Ma Jun!

Shin Yug Yeong, you should go too.

Don't you have any sense of pride?

Are you stupid or something?

Don't you know why mum made you

wait here?

Ma Jun, what are you doing?

Go! Just go.

I'm sorry, but I came to run the lady's errand.

Don't mind me. I'll wait until you're done.

Come out.

Let go of me!

Shut up and come out!

Ma Jun! Gu Ma Jun!

mum...

If he resents me for what I've done, I'll take it.

I'm willing to endure everything

in order to see him.

Where is Tak Goo?

Where is Tak Goo?

Where is my son?

Did the doctor plot everything?

Or was it Kim Mi Sun?

Are you challenging me for my son?

I don't know how I should forgive you.

Let's not forgive the people who

brought you into this.

I'm sorry for not recognising you.

My son. My son Tak Goo...
