Long time no see. How have you been?

Kim Tak Goo. Seo Tae Jo.

The disqualified candidate is...

Seo Tae Jo.

Mr. Pal Bong.

Grandpa.

Father.

I'm disqualified?

Yes, Seo Tae Jo.

You're disqualified.

Why?

I successfully baked this bread

without yeast!

But why?

Are you sure this bread was baked

without yeast?

Yes.

Are you sure?

Yes.

Then show me exactly how you did it,

from the beginning.

If you can come up with the same bread,

I'll let you pass.

It's impossible to bake good tasting bread

without using yeast.

But, there's a way to raise the dough

by adding a very little amount

of yeast that will go unnoticed.

If you add starch, fermentation will take

place with very little amount of yeast.

Of course, it's up to you to decide

whether you will use this recipe or not.

The most satisfying bread tests

your heart for others.

The most interesting bread tests

your adventure for new things.

Only those who enjoy adventure

and challenge can fulfil their dreams.

But all you care about is winning

this competition.

Instead of taking on a new challenge,

you've cheated by taking

someone else's recipe!

Tae Jo.

I never thought that you would

disappoint me like this.

That'll be all for phase 2.

We're done.

Who are you? Why did you disqualify me?

I told you that the decision is yours.

He, who is greedy

easily gives into temptation.

What do you want from me?

I only wanted to say hello to Pal Bong

with my recipe.

What?

So you used me?

Do you want to die?

Do you know what I gave up for his

letter of approval?

Don't be so heartbroken.

His letter of approval will soon mean

nothing to you.

Are you sure about this?

What do you mean?

I'm talking about Tae Jo.

He's an aspiring baker.

If you cut him off like that...

Why were you so upset

about Tae Jo's bread?

How did it taste?

This is bong bread.

What? Bong bread?

It's not exactly Grandpa's bong bread,

but the flavour is very similar

to what I remember.

Really?

I thought Mr. Pal Bong was the

only person who knew this recipe.

That's why this is a mystery.

It seems like Grandpa is

very angry with Tae Jo.

What's going on with Seo Tae Jo?

Bring me the fermentation journal.

If you do, I'll crush Pal Bong's fame.

What are you talking about?

I told you that the fermentation journal

was originally mine.

Pal Bong stole my recipe and built

his reputation.

Don't you want to get back at Pal Bong

for wasting 2 years of your life?

You're still alive. I'm impressed.

A person's life endures many things.

I guess I still have something left to do

in this world.

Who is sending me threatening letters?

I guess you've been threatened by them.

Times have changed.

I can't believe you would

dare to talk back to me.

Moreover, I'm putting up with it.

You're right.

Life is interesting.

Why did you show up in front of me?

What's on your mind?

Even if I wanted to do something,

would I be able to hurt you?

Mi Sun!

You reap what you sow.

You've lived in peace after

what you did to my son.

That's what you get for coming

into my house with your son.

Do you know how much you've hurt

and insulted me?

I can't sleep at night whenever I think

about that.

I get so angry! It drives me crazy!

You should've only hated me.

If you did, I would've endured everything.

I wouldn't have shown my face again.

Why did you do that to him?

He was only 12!

How could you kick out

a 12 year-old like that?

Because he started this disaster.

I understand why you came back to me

and what you might be up to,

but guess what?

I'm Seo In Suk.

You'll have to do better than that.

You can't scare me with a threat like that,

so watch it.

How did it go?

I have to get to the bottom of this.

Now that we've successfully found

Kim Mi Sun, the rest will be much easier.

I'm sorry for doubting you.

I shouldn't have done that.

Let's put that behind us.

I have to pay Mr. Na back tomorrow.

I have to keep my shares.

Can you do that for me?

Okay.

Call Mr. Na and tell him to do whatever

it takes to get Seo In Suk's shares.

Okay, I'll do that.

Chairman.

Hi.

Don't you want to get back at Pal Bong

for wasting 2 years of your life?

If you do, I'll teach you everything

about bong bread.

Mr. Pal Bong. It's me, Tae Jo.

May I come in?

Come in.

What is it?

Can you give me one last chance?

I'll demonstrate in front of you.

I'll bake without adding yeast or starch.

Please give me another chance.

Even if you do, I can't approve

of your bread.

Why not? Why?

Not only did you try to harm your friend,

you lied to your teacher in order to win!

Because we're only human, we can think

evil thoughts from time to time.

But we soon regret what we've done.

I waited for you to feel remorseful,

but I don't think that'll happen.

I waited 2 years like you told me to.

I endured 2 years in order to get

your letter of approval.

Must you disqualify me?

Why do you think I kept you here

for 2 years?

Isn't it because you wanted to punish me?

Why do you think I tried to punish you?

Isn't it because you don't like me?

It seems like I still have a long way to go.

I wasn't able to teach you anything.

Mr. Pal Bong.

I won't kick you out.

But if you want my letter of approval,

you'll have to wait 2 more years.

And the next 2 years will be

even tougher than the first 2 years.

You may go now.

Can you reconsider coming back

to the Geoseong family?

Chairman.

I know how much you care about

your mother, but I need you too.

I'd like you to learn the business

from me, Tak Goo.

But you have Ma Jun.

I'm no match for him in many ways.

And above all, I don't belong there.

I'll only embarrass you.

I don't have a lot of people

that I can trust, Tak Goo.

I don't even know who I can trust

or who to doubt.

Chairman.

If you find your mother,

can you come to me?

I'm sorry, but if I do, I'll have less reason

to join the Geoseong family.

How is Tak Goo doing?

How are you going to explain

what you made me do in Cheongsan?

Chairman! Are you okay?

Yes, I'm okay.

I'm okay.

See you around.

Okay, Chairman.

Bread is food for the people.

Yes, I know.

Then why are you keeping a knife

in your heart?

The flavour and the appearance are good,

but something about this feels cold.

I never thought that you would

disappoint me like this.

What was that sound?

Jin Gu! It's from the bakery kitchen.

What the...

What's all this commotion about?

I don't know.

I think the bakery kitchen is on fire.

It's from the supply room!

Tak Goo! Water! Water!

Water! Water!

What are we going to do?

Father, where do you think you're going?

Oh, no!

Fermentation journal.

You wretch!

Tae Jo!

Why are you just standing there? Join us.

We have a lot of good food today.

Join us, Tae Jo.

Come on, Tae Jo.

Seo Tae Jo.

Where are you going?

Join us for some snacks.

I'll take you on a kneading contest.

Come here, Tae Jo.

What happened?

It wasn't a big fire.

I think the fire started in the trash can,

but there isn't much damage.

We'll be ready to bake once we get rid

of the smoky smell in the kitchen.

Did anyone get hurt?

No.

Okay, that's good.

Tae Jo. Seo Tae Jo.

Are you inside?

Tak Goo, what are you doing?

Huh? Oh, I...

Where's Seo Tae Jo?

Where is he?

Is he upstairs?

No, he's not.

Father! What's wrong? Are you okay?

You don't look so well. Are you okay?

No, nothing's wrong.

Who is it?

Who is it?

It's me.

Can I come in?

I don't have anywhere else to go.

Tae Jo.

I don't have to explain

why I'm doing this, right?

To be honest, I want to take back

everything I've given you,

but I'm giving you this for your years

of service to the Geoseong family.

Take that and get out of this house.

But...

I'm sure you saw this coming when you

decided to stab me in the back.

How dare you betray me!

You conspired with Kim Mi Sun

to threaten me and get me in trouble.

You should be grateful

that I'm not punishing you.

I don't want to see you again.

Get out of my house!

Heaven will punish you.

What?

Your dead mother-in-law will not let you

get away with this.

Gong Ju!

Too bad I can't say goodbye

to the Chairman.

Goodbye then.

I'm sorry. This is all my fault.

No, I wanted to quit a long time ago.

I only stayed there because

of the Chairman and the daughters.

You can stay here with me.

No, you didn't force me to do that.

I volunteered to help you.

I'm asking because I'm lonely.

Stay here with me.

Thanks.

It's me. Did you secure the money?

We have until 6 today.

If you don't see Mr. Na today,

I'll lose the shares.

Don't let him take my shares, okay?

I won't. Don't worry.

We still haven't found Mr. Na yet?

No.

Hello? Okay.

We found him. He's at K Hotel.

Let's go.

Yes, Sir.

What do you think you're doing?

Trying to save Geoseong's shares.

Here is the money that the

lady borrowed from you.

Take it.

I'm sorry, but that file won't make it

to Seo In Suk.

We got 3.8% of the shares by investing

in Chairman Gu.

Add that to the 5% and we have 8.8%.

What about the shares

that the younger lady has?

Seo In Suk has 10.2%.

That'll place us up to his level.

It's worth a shot then.

I don't need your help any more.

You can go back to your job.

We started this together.

Let's finish it together too.

I can't do that to you.

I've wanted this ever since

you came to me 14 years ago.

Please don't turn me down.

Let's go.

Long time no see, Kim Mi Sun.

The lives of two people are on your hands.

If you want Dr. Yun and Mr. Na to be safe,

give me the file.

But your payment deadline is up.

So? You're not going to give it to me?

Mi Sun! No!

Don't give it to him.

You're still threatening people's lives?

You didn't know?

I believe that the end justifies the means.

Is that so?

Is that why you kicked Tak Goo out like that?

When you brought him,

I told you that you'll regret it.

Remember?

Then do you also remember

what I told you that day?

I told you that a mother can do anything

for her child.

I told you that I'm willing to jump

into fire for my child.

I told you that I'll put my life on the line to

get back at you if you lay a finger on him.

Is that why you're risking your life

to do this?

I died 14 years ago.

I don't have a life to risk.

Sounds fun.

Do you think this is fun?

Let's see if you can keep that smile

on your face.

That jerk!

The more I think about this,

the madder I get!

How could he set fire on the bakery

and run away, after all we did for him?

What?

Kim Tak Goo.

Yes, Sir.

Take the freshly baked bread downstairs.

Yes, Sir.

Mi Sun, can Tak Goo smell again?

No, not yet.

I can't believe that kid.

How could he do that to his friend?

Thank you. Come again.

Come in.

Is this the bakery that is operated

by Mr. Pal Bong the artisan?

Yes. How may I help you?

This petition was submitted yesterday.

Someone is claiming ownership to the

recipe for your famous bong bread.

What?

What are you talking about?

If the bong bread is not Mr. Pal Bong's

recipe, then whose is it?

Who submitted that ridiculous petition?

His name is Park Chun Bae.

If this petition proves to be true,

Mr. Pal Bong will lose his artisan title.

What?

Watch what you're saying.

I don't know who you are, but how dare

you listen to one side of the story

and threaten to take Mr. Pal Bong's

artisan title away.

Tak Goo, stop.

Mr. Pal Bong.

I understand what you mean.

You may go for today.

If you want to appeal this petition,

you need to do it within a week.

What happens after we appeal?

The technical advisor from the Baker's.

Association will evaluate your bread.

Both the petitioner and you would have

to demonstrate how you bake bong bread.

What?

Oh, my...

Who is Park Chun Bae?

He hold a grudge against Mr. Pal Bong.

They were best friends and rivals

from an early age.

They often enjoyed competing against

each other by baking the most satisfying

bread and the most interesting

bread in the world.

One day, they collaborated to bake

the most compatible bread for Koreans.

That's how they came up

with the liquor bread.

Actually, Mr. Pal Bong had tried to come

up with the liquor bread for a long time.

But he wasn't able to find the fermentation

point until Mr. Chun Bae helped him.

Chun Bae, smell this.

Mr. Chun Bae was born with a perfect

sense of smell.

Smells good.

Just like you, Tak Goo.

Then what happened to them?

With the success of bong bread,

they earned fame and great money.

And that became a problem.

Chun Bae.

Why won't you follow the recipe?

What now?

I'm baking the liquor bread in order to

minimise the yeast and prolong the

fermentation period in order to bring

out the flavour and aid digestion!

Why are you breaking that rule?

We can't keep up with the sales with

the long fermentation period.

You have to make money while you can.

Most people can't tell the difference.

And something happened that

completely tore them apart.

What are you doing?

Move! I can't sell bread with food additives!

It's the only way we can keep the bread

fresh for a long time.

Still, how dare you add synthetic

preservatives to my bread!

This isn't just your bread.

This is my bread too!

You have no sense of remorse

for what you've done.

I can't work with you.

Get out of my kitchen.

Pal Bong!

Get out!

After that, the two men started selling

their own versions of bong bread.

In the end, Chun Bae failed miserably.

How did that happen?

It's because Mr. Pal Bong baked

what is good for people,

while Mr. Chun Bae baked to make money.

When people found out that Mr. Chun Bae

added synthetic preservatives,

his bakery went out of business.

He disappeared completely after that.

I can't believe he showed up after years

to do this.

Dad! Dad!

Honey! Honey!

Father!

Father!

Grandpa!

Mr. Pal Bong! Oh, no!

Mr. Pal Bong! Mr. Pal Bong!

Grandpa!

No, Mr. Pal Bong! No...

He's very weak.

He'll be fine once he recovers,

but because of his age, we can't be sure.

Is there a medicine we can get for him?

Grandpa...

He must've been very distressed.

Why don't we talk to Mr. Chun Bae?

We don't even know where he lives.

Then what are we going to do?

We only have a week to appeal.

But Father can't do anything

in his condition.

Will he lose his artisan title like this?

Mr. Pal Bong, you'll be fine.

No matter what happens,

I'll protect your honour.

So please get well soon.

I still have a lot to learn from you.

I still have a lot to hear from you.

Mr. Pal Bong, please get well soon.

No matter what happens, I'll protect you.

What did you just say?

Remember the guys who came to take.

Mr. Pal Bong's artisan title away?

I went as his representative to appeal.

Kim Tak Goo!

Tak Goo!

Why did you do that without

discussing it with us?

Can't you see that.

Mr. Pal Bong is bedridden?

We can do it for him!

What?

We can bake the bong bread in his place!

Tak Goo!

Seo Tae Jo was able to do it. Why not us?

Chief, Mr. Gap Su, and Mi Sun!

You've all tasted bong bread before!

It's not that simple, Tak Goo.

It took him 7 years to come up

with the fermentation point!

How are we going to pull that off?

You can't even smell anything right now!

Then are you going to let them dishonour.

Mr. Pal Bong's name?

Are you going to let them

take his artisan title away?

Yeah, that irks us too.

Father!

Why don't we work with Grandpa's

fermentation journal?

The fermentation journal is gone.

What? Why?

We lost it on the day Seo Tae Jo left.

Did Tae Jo steal Mr. Pal Bong's.

Fermentation journal?

What a jerk!

Even if we had the fermentation journal,

the climate and the conditions have

changed since his time.

It'll be almost impossible to find the

fermentation point and come up with

a stable sour dough in a week.

Don't call it impossible without even trying!

Tak Goo.

If you won't help me, I'll do it on my own!

Kim Tak Goo!

I won't let them take Mr. Pal Bong's

artisan title away!

No matter what happens,

I'll protect his honour!

I'm sorry.

All right then.

Gosh, it's hot in here.

Let's give it a try.

That's what everyone wants.

Tak Goo already submitted an appeal.

Where is Ms. Gong Ju?

She quit.

She quit? Is she sick?

I told her to quit.

What?

I told her to quit.

Ms. Gong Ju is more than a worker

in this house.

She has been loyal to this family

for almost 40 years.

How could you fire someone like her?

Why did you do it?

Because I can't trust her any more.

That's why.

I think you're over reacting.

Can't I even fire one person

who works in my house?

Is Ms. Gong Ju more important to you

than I am?

I want to know why you couldn't trust.

Ms. Gong Ju any more.

Are you that upset?

Because I fired someone

that your mother hired?

Ms. Gong Ju found clothes that have been

drenched in the rain in your wife's room.

It was the day after your mother

was found in the rain.

There was a rumour that someone

saw your wife and Mr. Han

go to your work room together.

Where were you that night?

What are you talking about?

Where were you on the night

that my mother died?

Why?

Did Ms. Gong Ju say something about me?

I asked, where were you?

I was asleep.

I got drunk and went to sleep because

I was angry at you for going to Cheongsan.

You have to tell me the truth.

I didn't lie to you.

I don't know what Ms. Gong Ju told you,

but it's a lie.

What's this?

It's a remedy.

A remedy?

Yes, a remedy to help Tak Goo get his sense

of taste and smell back.

Really?

Will I be able to smell again if I drink this?

I bet he bought this

from a medicine peddler.

I think so too.

Hey, this is rare medicine.

You have to treat poison with poison.

This is a strong medicine.

Depending on the reaction, you'll either

get well soon or never be able to recover.

So...

What the heck?

I was going to say,

The decision is yours.

Why did you drink that? Go and throw up!

He said that it's a remedy.

Let me know if you get sick.

I have digestive medicine.

I'm sure I'll get well.

Mr. Gap Su got this for me.

Even if you get side effects,

don't blame me.

Did you bring the ingredients?

Oh, right.

This is a list of the mixing ratio that

I remember for rice wine sour dough.

This is very similar to my rice wine.

Sour dough ♪26.

What's this? This is completely off.

Really?

Chief.

You can't be trusted with this job.

Here.

Make the rice wine sour dough

with that mixing ratio.

Why are you looking at me like that?

Did you change your mind about this?

No!

Good. We only have one week.

Let's do everything we can

to make bong bread in a week.

So don't even think about sleeping at night.

- Understand? - Yes, Sir!

Good, let's cheer before we get started

on Mr. Pal Bong's bong bread!

Can he smell yet?

We have ♪8 and ♪9.

It's bread.

Can Tak Goo smell yet?

What's this?

They appealed.

Finally, I can confront Pal Bong.

I think they're going to send in.

Pal Bong's apprentices.

Why don't you go from our side?

Tak Goo.

Mr. Pal Bong!

Are you okay now?

Yes.

Can you smell now?

No. Maybe it's hopeless.

You need to believe in yourself.

You'll never be able to smell again

if you don't think you'll be able to smell.

Mr. Pal Bong.

Everything starts from the heart.

Stop being afraid of losing your sense

of smell forever.

Once you get over your fear,

everything will be okay again.

Okay, Mr. Pal Bong.

Mr. Pal Bong!

Mr. Pal Bong.

I can hear it. I can hear the scent.

I can hear it. I can hear the scent again.

Mr. Pal Bong.

Is someone here from the petitioner's side?

Yes, that'll be me.

Is someone here from the appellant's side?

Because my father-in-law is ill,

I came as his acting representative.

We will now begin the demonstration

for bong bread.

Those who will demonstrate,

please come forward.

And from the petitioner's side?

We will now begin the demonstration

for bong bread.

Is everyone ready?

Yes, I'm ready.

Yes, I'm ready.
