Mi-soon

I watched the show.

I want to congratulate you for making it into the finals, but-

[Episode 25]

I'm becoming more and more disappointed in the Bong family.

They say men are blind to their own causes, but how could they be so selfish?

Man-ho and Sam-bong were so rude to her.

Man-ho is the problem.

Don't say that in front of Sam-sik.

If you two start arguing, it will become more hectic.

Yes, I know.

By the way, where do you think Mi-soon got the money to buy a restaurant?

Oh! Sook-nyeo.

Are you okay?

Yes.

Oh, my little puppy. Why did you come down at this time?

Grandma,

why isn't mommy coming back?

Jin-hwa said I shouldn't cry,

but can't you bring mommy back?

I'll put you to sleep.

At this rate, Sam-bong will really get sick.

To be frank, this all happened because of Man-ho that punk,

but why did she take Fire Black Bean Noodles?

That's what I'm trying to say.

Why did she take Fire Black Bean Noodles when it's the face of Gahwamansasung?

I had actually felt a bit sorry for her,

but because of this, I'm growing more upset.

You're right. That's the truth.

To be honest, it's true that Mi-soon created the Fire Black Bean Noodles.

Sam-bong admitted that on broadcast, too.

Min-jung, sit down.

Sam-bong did that on purpose to make her look better.

And can anyone invent a dish?

Wasn't it possible because Sam-bong taught her and looked after her?

Anyways, this is too ridiculous. It's unethical-

I am sure the Bong family is very ethical and honest.

I will leave you two to continue with your ethics talk.

Wait, Min-jung, are you going?

Sam-sook, from now on, don't talk about this in front of Min-jung.

Why do you do this? Sook-nyeo, I'm leaving! Gosh, Sam-sook is so tiring!

Min-jung!

Those two are really-!

Gosh, forget it.

Where are you, Sam-bong?

I'll ask you one more time.

Is the owner of Fire Black Bean Noodles Bong Sam-bong or Han Mi-soon?

The owners of Fire Black Bean Noodles are Bong Sam-bong and me, Han Mi-soon.

Fine.

I admit you helped create Fire Black Bean Noodles.

But...

you made that when you were working in my kitchen.

You can never use it outside of Gahwamansasung.

Is that so...

Mr. Bong?

Mr. Bong?

You're really-

Why?

Are you upset?

You're the one who first treated me as if I was just your employee.

Fire Black Bean Noodles is the symbol of Gahwamansasung.

If not for me, Fire Black Bean Noodles would have never existed.

There's no reason why I can't use it.

Now...

my daughter-in-law Han Mi-soon is no longer here.

Yes.

She's not.

When you needed me, I was more valuable to you than a daughter was

and when you didn't, you threw me away like I was yesterday's trash.

I quit that position as your daughter-in-law a long time ago. Didn't you know?

Fine. I understand what you mean.

I'll be watching you.

Yes. Please do.

That's why I came.

I wanted to show you and your son Bong Man-ho

how I raise this place.

What are you thinking about?

Since when did I become such a fool?

Things like that...

In the past,

whether it was love or work,

I was always excited and happy to start something new,

but from some point on, I became scared.

"Will I be able to do well?"

"What if they get disappointed in me?"

"There might be nothing...

I can do for them."

"Then...

I wish I can just look at them like this."

That's the kind of person you are...

to me.

I might...

make you cry.

You might feel unhappy because of me.

When that happens...

I won't be selfish anymore.

If I were a better person than I am now

it would be very nice.

You're more foolish than I am.

We're both foolish...

so we won't be able to be alone.

Because I can't live without her.

Because I...

love her so much.

Did you meet Ms. Bong?

Yes.

Father-

Keep this in mind.

Seo-jin didn't die because of you.

It was already too late,

and even if your judgment had been wrong,

you already suffered enough for the past five years.

You were the one who suffered.

You, who was a successful director of a university hospital,

had to resign in order to save me.

Then you lived as a floater doctor.

I like my life now.

I won't tell you to forget it.

Instead...

bury it deep inside your heart and never take it out.

If not, both of you will become unhappy.

Father.

You said you can't live without her.

You can't see her with guilt and pain for the rest of your life.

Han.

Mi.

Soon.

Choi.

Chul.

Soo.

Father.

Follow me.

Man-ho, you know all the cooking utensils used in here, don't you?

Gosh, father. Of course I do. I was born as

the son of the owner of a Chinese restaurant.

Grab the pan.

Father...

Yes, sir.

If you grip too hard, you'll hurt your wrist.

You need to hold onto it gently, push it forward, and then pull it backwards.

This is how you do it!

Don't joke around.

Learn seriously.

Okay.

But father... why are you suddenly...?

You said you don't want to become an owner who your employees disrespect.

You need to know how to work in order to control your employees.

Father...

I can control the employees...?

Father.

Practice with this.

Today, you need to strengthen your resolution.

You need to learn how to take care of the ingredients and cut them.

You have a long way to go.

Yes.

Yes, father.

I will work hard to lead Gahwamansasung and squash that Han Mi-soon!

I'm telling you to take responsibility, not get revenge.

Yes, father.

Chef.

From now on, call me chef.

Yes, chef.

Mommy!

Mommy!

Mommy!

Mommy!

Mommy!

Mommy!

Mommy!

Sun-hwa!

What's wrong, baby?

Did you come here by yourself?

Yes. I want to see you,

but Jin-hwa said no.

Mommy you're not coming home.

Mommy, why are you here by yourself?

Are you not coming because I'm crying?

Still, how can you come here alone in the middle of the night?

Let's go. I'll take you home.

No! I won't go! I'm going to sleep with you!

Mommy.

I'm sorry, Sun-hwa.

Don't cry, okay?

Sun-hwa, don't cry.

Don't cry.

Promise me. You can't come here alone at night again.

Okay.

But when are you coming home?

If you and Jin-hwa don't cry and wait for me like now,

you'll be able to live with me soon.

Really?

Soon, you, daddy, and all of us will be able to live together again, right?

Go to sleep.

I'll pat you until you fall asleep.

Okay.

Here.

I love your smell.

It's nice.

I like your scent, too.

Sun-hwa! Sun-hwa!

Hey.

Why are you looking for Sun-hwa here? She's not in her room?

When I woke up, she was gone.

I told her I would put her to sleep, but she said she would sleep with you.

Isn't she in your dad's room?

Relax your stomach and breathe-

Daddy, where's Sun-hwa?

Sun-hwa?

She's not here.

I was working hard and came home at dawn.

Where did she go from Sunday morning?

Maybe she went to her mom?

Sun-hwa kept looking for her.

What? Where did she go?

That woman!

Stay here. I'll go.

- Me, too. - No.

I'll find her before father has to eat breakfast.

I'm going to bring my daughter back.

You stay here, too.

My goodness.

Han Mi-soon!

Han-

You came for Sun-hwa, right?

She insisted on staying, so I meant to take her

home after she slept for a bit but I forgot.

Wait. I'll bring her out.

What? "You came for Sun-hwa?"

Look here, Han Mi-soon. Are you joking?

You don't think about the family worrying?

Technically this is kidnapping!

Kidnapping?

She came here on her own in the middle of the night.

What were you doing?

Mi-soon!

You did this on purpose, didn't you?

You came here to coax the kids and cause trouble, didn't you?

You catch on fast, as always.

How about this then?

You're still staying in that house as an unwelcomed guest,

rather than a daughter-in-law, right?

Of course, the family hasn't opened up their hearts to you yet.

This time, not only will I coax my kids

but also I'm thinking of tempting Bong Man-ho, too.

Mi-soon!

Don't worry.

I have no intention of doing that yet.

But...

stop your shallow husband from coming here.

He might think of the old times.

Man-ho isn't that kind of person!

Move.

Se-ri, take Sun-hwa home first.

I have to talk with Mi-soon, no... Ms. Han Mi-soon.

Here.

N-No, Man-ho.

If Sun-hwa wakes up, she'll get scared, and the family is waiting for us. Talk later.

L-Let's go.

You didn't forget our plan today, did you?

I'm waiting in front of your house.

Oh?

Oh my gosh!

Oh my gosh. What do I do?

Oh my goodness!

Oh my gosh! What do I do?

What do I do?

No, forget it.

Oh my gosh! What do I do? My dark circles!

Gosh, what do I do?

Excuse me. Have you seen Bong Hae-ryung?

Don't tease me. I saw the mirror, too.

I was so busy reading that I didn't know time had gone by.

As expected, people who study are different. What kind of book?

How should I put it?

It's about human instinct and a life hero who teaches you

life lessons, which has elements of fantasy in it, too.

Manga.

Oh. How did you know?

Please look after me.

Do I... drive?

This car isn't for practice though...

You're not even a beginner, and you said you used to drive well.

I know a good place without a lot of cars, so just do it.

Um, Seo Ji-gun, I'm not ready yet...

Um...

I'm just curious, but are you driving or parking right now?

Don't talk to me. I'm going.

Miss, if you drive like this, you'll get into an accident.

If other cars come...

I can't do this.

From here-

Don't worry ahead of time.

You said you wanted to overcome this.

You said you wanted to boast to Seo-jin.

There are four kilometers left until we arrive at the restaurant.

There's a park and a museum there. The past is delicious, too.

If we arrive there safely, I'll buy.

At this rate, we might arrive there when it gets dark.

We just have to get there before it closes.

Aren't you scared?

I'm driving unsteadily.

Not at all. You're the one who's driving.

What do you think about this painting, Hyun-ki?

It's full of energy with the bright colors, but

ironically, there's a feeling of solitude in it.

It's not bad.

I just think...

it's a scribble.

You're honest.

So do you like it?

You're the type who isn't popular among women, right?

I am not fun to hang out with.

If I wanted to laugh, I would've watched a comedy movie.

It's not because you don't have humor or because you don't talk much.

You're the kind of man who makes someone feel alone even when you're together.

You don't know how lonely that makes a person, do you?

I'm telling you to make an effort. I am about to get sad.

Let's go.

Wow!

High-five!

I thought we wouldn't be able to eat today. Good job.

We arrived safely, so you're buying, right?

We're stopping here for today.

Fancy seeing you here.

Yes.

We didn't eat lunch yet, so we're kind of busy.

Good-bye.

You do remember that I'm here next to you, don't you?

I'm sorry.

Let's go.

That's your ex-wife, right?

I remember seeing her from an interview with Ms. Jang.

You're right.

I apologize if you're offended.

How about we officially start dating?

To be honest, if you had still treated me as a passerby today,

I was going to end things with you.

But I became curious about you.

Besides, you must be tired meeting different women during your blind dates.

I don't care if you say no.

The effort you mentioned earlier...

I'll try it.

I like what you said right now out of everything you said so far.

You must have been really shocked.

A little...

I didn't even think we would be able to bump into each other like this.

What was on your mind?

Do I tell you...

the truth?

When I saw that man and the woman standing next to him...

I thought "oh, I should have dressed nicely and done my make-up, too."

I regretted it.

I'm childish, aren't I?

No.

Although we didn't end our relationship in good terms,

I still wish he would be happy.

I want him to smile

like me.

[Bong's Fire Black Bean Noodles Day. Big Event Day.]

It's a special event day for Gahwamansasung's Fire Black Bean Noodles Day!

Wait a little longer.

Here you go!

Enjoy!

- Is it free? - Of course!

Hello! I'm the owner here! Yes!

- Hey. - What?

Just go in and keep peeling those onions. Hurry and go.

I'm going to stop peeling onions soon. I'm about to enter the kitchen.

Aunt and you are working hard. Good job.

Even though Sam-bong doesn't say it out loud, he's very concerned about that.

We need to do this much on our own.

Han Mi-soon! Look carefully to see what reality looks like!

Be quiet!

Excuse me.

Yes?

What can I help you with?

Is this Chef Han Mi-soon's restaurant?

- Pardon? - Here.

Put one here.

And one here also.

Oh! It's that way!

That's him!

It's over there!

- Let's go. - Okay.

Um, excuse me...? Sir!

This is Mansasung.

- Hello! - Hello!

What's this? Aren't they stealing customers?

Welcome to Mansasung.

Choi Chul-soo, that punk! I'll get them-

Hey! Are you going to shout in front of the customers?

If Sam-bong finds out, his blood pressure will go up. Be quiet!

Gosh!

What's going on?

They're promoting Fire Black Bean Noodles on

Gahwamansasung's Fire Black Bean Noodles Day?

They're declaring that Fire Black Bean Noodles is theirs! It's a war!

Forget it. They'll find out once they taste it.

Hello.

Right over there!

- Fire Black Bean Noodles is done! - Fire Black

Bean Noodles is done! Take it out, Chul-soo!

Thank you!

Come again!

We have the spirit and will! Okay?

But don't I look too obvious?

I'm worried because my beauty isn't something I can easily cover up!

You don't look obvious at all! Your beauty is completely hidden!

I can't tell who you are! Who are you?

Really?

Okay, let's go.

Here are your menus.

Two Fire Black Bean Noodles.

Okay.

More Fire Black Bean Noodles!

Wait!

Let me see if I should order anything else.

Oh my goodness!

Hey! This menu is almost similar as ours!

Oh my gosh.

Sam-sook, all Chinese restaurants have similar menus!

Oh, is that so?

Hurry up and take it!

Oh, she's coming!

Which flavor would you like?

Please give me the beef-flavor one.

Please give me the vegetable-flavor one.

Enjoy and please tell me your opinions

to let me know which one makes it better: Gahwamansasung or Mansasung...

aunt and uncle.

How did...?

How did she know?

How did she know?

Sam-sook, let's try it.

Let's try it.

We need to judge with a cool head.

- Min-jung! - Who's this?

You...!

You traitor!

Sam-sook. Honey. I just wanted to know the taste so I know if we should fight or not.

She was always angry with me, but she's smiling so well.

Geez! She seems to be enjoying herself!

What on earth are they talking about that makes her so happy?

Is he a con-artist?

There's no soul in his smile!

Oh, Mr. Lee.

Oh!

Did you eat?

Yes, I did.

What are you doing?

I'm waiting for someone.

Oh, I see. We'll go in first.

- Yes, go in. - Bye.

Oh, Jin-young.

Yes.

You majored in Chinese, right?

Yes.

Listen well to what they're talking about.

I can't hear well!

You said you know Chinese! Write down what you hear!

"How long has it been?"

"We've been meeting for three months."

You're going to China with a guy you met for merely three months?

Keep going.

"Thank you for everything."

"Thanks to you, I've gotten a lot better."

"Be healthy."

But I think this is the last moment.

What? They're breaking up?

What are you doing here right now?

What else? We came to drink coffee.

That's right. We came to drink coffee, didn't we?

Kim Jin-young, tell me the truth.

What were you guys doing?

I-I'm sorry.

Mr. Lee made me do it!

Then I'll be going now!

When did I?

Gosh, we're already here.

If you're going to go back home, should I come pick you up?

I'm going to eat dinner and go home late.

Again today...

thank you.

Next time, you can drive and take me home.

If you need me, call me.

Hae-ryung.

Mom.

Hello.

I didn't get to properly introduce myself last time. I'm Seo Ji-gun.

Oh, from last time...?

Oh, today he helped me practice driving, so he's dropping me off.

Oh, really?

Thank you.

No problem. Good-bye.

Let's go in, mom.

Go home safely.

Let's go.

Let's go.

Mom, it's really hot, right?

You should have gone with me. What's for dinner tonight?

You...

want me to pretend I didn't see that, right?

Can I ask you one question?

Is he the reason why you're so happy these days?

He gives me a lot of strength.

If you're happy, then that's enough.

Next time, you'll formally introduce me to him, won't you?

Yes, I will.

But mom, you look like you got thinner.

Is something wrong?

No, it's nothing.

Didn't you come here after you heard about Mi-soon?

Here! Right here! This is Mansasung! You see this, don't you?

Hurry! Hurry!

You see this, don't you? They blocked the street without any business ethics!

Is the owner here? We're here to regulate.

We didn't do this every day. It's only for today.

Be hard on them.

It doesn't matter whether it was for only today or every day.

If you don't have the license to conduct business here, it's still against the law.

Do you want us to take them out ourselves?

The customers are eating right now.

Once they're done, we'll evacuate.

Choi Chul-soo, you don't have to evacuate.

We're going to do it ourselves.

What should we do? Remove these?

Remove them.

- Remove them! - Excuse me.

What's going on?

I'm sorry.

Bong Man-ho!

You protect your restaurant. I'll protect mine.

What are you doing?

What's going on?

Bong Man-ho!

Get your hands off!

You stay out of it.

If you knew what that woman did-

Even if Mi-soon did something, don't you do anything.

You pathetic fool!

How could you do this?

Mom!

Sook-nyeo!

You don't deserve to do this!

Mom!

Should I do nothing when sales are dropping and father might faint?

Bong Man-ho!

You idiot!

Let go!

What are you all doing?

Sam-bong...

Business is closed. Please leave.

Starting from today, Gahwamansasung will no longer serve Fire Black Bean Noodles.

Sam-bong!

Go back to your places.

Dismissed.

Oh, if you have some time, come and have a seat.

I got a call from Ji-soo.

I heard you decided to date her.

Yes.

If you don't want me to, tell me now.

Of course not.

Well, I'll have to embrace her shortcomings and teach her well.

The color is very beautiful, isn't it?

Soon, she'll become my daughter-in-law.

This is my favorite fabric, and I'm thinking of gifting it to Ji-soo.

You've become very different.

When I told you to give Hye-ryung a Korean traditional dress as

a gift before we got married, you got angry.

She didn't have any depth, so my dresses wouldn't have fit her anyways.

By the way, Mr. Kang's wife dropped by today, and from what she told me,

Seon-ho Pharmaceutical Company is a very strong company.

Her grandfather was a minister-

If you like it, I'm fine.

Aren't you dating her because you like her, too?

I never forced you to do anything.

No.

You never forced me.

Good night.

He seemed to have accidentally ran into Bong Hae-ryung in the afternoon.

What?

Why does she keep appearing in front of my son?

That's why all night he was...

- What about the medicine? - I got rid of it.

Don't look for your medicine.

I got rid of them.

This is zizyphus spinosi tea. It will help you fall asleep.

Don't do unnecessary things like that anymore.

I'll take care of it.

I don't have any interest in such a foolish Yoo Hyun-ki either,

but I'm still concerned.

Like a habit.

Have I...

ever apologized to you before?

What?

I'm sorry.

I shouldn't have done that to you.

You're sorry to me because you haven't loved me once.

Five years ago your child suddenly died, and Bong Hae-ryung

still held onto him like a mad woman.

You were scared, too.

Your fears floated around and landed on anyone close to you.

I knew that.

I knew, and yet, I still loved you.

If it's uncomfortable for me to stay by your side,

then come back to being Yoo Hyun-ki.

Then I'll disappear.

- Bye. - Good-bye!

Be careful on the stairs!

Oh! Hey, friend!

Young-woo.

We're here.

That's dad's house... no... grandpa's house.

My dad's not home.

Before you go, I have something to ask you.

Why don't you tell your dad or me

that your friends are bullying you?

It's hard for you.

It's childish, and I don't want to deal with them.

Aren't you scared that your friends might bully you even more?

No!

I'm not scared at all.

They'll stop eventually.

This won't do.

This is a secret.

Only you should know.

If you try talking to them, but it doesn't work,

hide your fists behind you like this...

and you stealthily approach them.

Then you glare at them and them hit them like this! Pow!

What is that?

That's childish.

You're at an age when you can be very childish.

Do your friends know that you have such a great smile?

If they know, they'll probably open up their hearts to you, just like how I did.

Young-woo.

Grandpa!

Good job.

We didn't eat lunch yet, so we're kind of busy.

Mr. Lee, you should have called for me.

I have to come myself if I want to meet the busiest man at this company.

Have a seat.

Yes, sir.

I'm planning to leak an article of the re-marriage

of my daughter and Ji-gun to the media.

With all due respect, I don't think that's a great idea.

If you do that, Mr. Seo will do something more extreme.

My only grandson Young-woo came into Korea.

Did you forget?

"The strongest link between a married couple is a child."

"Hurry up and bring the child here."

Those are your words.

Mr. Seo, there's a strange rumor floating around these days.

Again? I have no interest in gossip.

Check this patient again. I think he has epilepsy.

I heard you're looking for a replacement...

I-It's not true, right?

Is that so?

Well, people come and go.

Are you really going to quit?

I'm not sure. It's up to you.

Just do your work.

Gosh, really.

I brought my girlfriend to grandpa's house.

Come if you want to see her.

If she leaves, you might really go crazy.

Think carefully.

To Bong Hae-won's future!

Cheers!

Are you really not going to drink?

We gathered because of you.

Please let it slide.

I really don't feel well today.

Let her be. She's been dizzy and nauseous the whole day as if she has ingestion.

Gosh. You're no fun nowadays.

We're done with the deadline, and Bong Hae-won is leaving.

The rest of us will eat and die today.

Let eat and die!

- Let's die! - Good job!

I really think I can't stay today.

Mr. Lee, you said you weren't going to come today.

I came because I have something to tell Ms. Bong.

Me?

What...?

I can't tell you here.

Let's go out.

- What's going on? - Oh my gosh! What was that?

Excuse me.

Hold on.

Look here.

I'm only going to say this once, so listen carefully.

I think...

I like you.

No.

I like you.

So about China-

Ms. Bong!

Bong Hae-won!

Bong Hae-won!

Even if it's not good, please enjoy.

- Thank you! - Thank you!

Thank you!

Young-woo.

Thank you.

I was the best in the game.

See? I did well, right?

I helped out later on, too.

Dad and grandpa only know how to make ramen.

Really? Then I'll have to lose next time, too.

Why do you always call when I'm eating-

Ji-gun, you know Bong Hae-won's sister's phone number, right?

Hae-won!

What's wrong with her?

Wake up, Lee Kang-min. What did the doctor say? Is it something serious?

Are you her guardian?

Yes.

It's just anemia during pregnancy, so she can leave as soon as she wakes up.

She's...

pregnant?

I came to check something. You have the contract with you, right?

He's going to get married soon.

Where did this angel come from?

Who are you to barge into my house?

Did you do this, too?

I'm asking you if you did this!

Please help these two get re-married.

He made a big mistake as a doctor five years ago.

I want to see the surgery records from five years ago.
