As the day comes to an end and people return home...

my day begins.

This is all we have on the menu.

Customers just order whatever they want, and I serve them those dishes.

I'm open from midnight until seven in the morning.

You may wonder if there are any people who come all the way out here to eat.

You see... there are quite a lot of them.

You brought these small minnows and told me to stop by?

They're carps, not minnows.

You can't even differentiate the two. That's why people call you a quack.

I just meant they are really small.

Master, at dawn

my float shot way up in the air!

So I pulled on it and caught a pyranose!

It was about 1.2 meters long! And it was just lying there.

- Then it saw me and starting crying. - Here you go again.

Cherry, what are the things men like to brag about?

About fishing, being in the army

and fighting against 17 other guys at once.

He likes to brag about all three of those things. Be careful.

You're too hard on me. This looks good.

I want this steamed and with soju.

You should remove their intestines and scales before you bring them.

- Don't put more work on the master. - It's all right.

- I like to use fresh ingredients. - I would if I could.

But my wife won't even let me bring them into the house because of the fishy smell.

You must be a henpecked husband.

- No. - So are you a devoted husband?

I'm an unlucky husband. She took all of my luck away.

Hi.

Could I see the menu?

It must be your first time.

There is no such thing.

You can just ask him to make anything for you.

Then what's the cheapest dish here?

He's asking for something cheap.

Let's see... I'll just make you that.

So what is he making?

Rolled eggs.

Bulgogi.

And this is for you guys.

- Thank you. Thank you. - How much is all of this?

- 1,000 won. - What, 1,000 won?

It's a special day for teenagers.

Are there any discounts for students? I'm a student too.

I'm in the process of learning about life. I'm in fifth grade, seventh class.

I usually hate studying

but I could study that for thousands of years!

Enjoy your meal.

Thank you for all the food.

The kid's name is Min Woo.

Since that day, he's been eating at my restaurant every day.

Another name for Min Woo is the Smiling Cat on the Street.

He has about five or six part-time jobs, but he worked the longest at that one.

- Quack! What are you up to? - Mr. Kim!

Min Woo is sleeping.

If you're still awake, come and have a drink with me.

- Who's here? - You're so loud.

Haven't seen you in a while.

Give me my usual.

Ryu is quite famous in his own career.

He gave me a really bad first impression though.

My goodness! Nothing is going my way.

- Did you miss him? - Yeah.

This just sucks.

He's a customer I found on the street, but someone else took him.

Everyone is working as a designated driver these days.

So you make whatever we order?

Make turtle soup.

- I can't make that for you. - Then cook shark's fin for us.

- I don't have any fancy ingredients. - You said you serve everything!

You are a fraud!

Can you grill some rice cakes for me?

I don't need honey.

Give me seaweed. I want seasoned seaweed.

You eat this with seaweed? Instead of honey?

They go well together! It's good! That's so amazing.

I've never tasted anything like this.

How much is this?

Including the other customer's, it's 25,000 won.

Why would we pay for his? You want to die?

I don't need change.

We're all set. Buy some ice cream with this.

Since then, he's become one of my regular customers.

Thanks to him, I've learned about sticky rice cakes

crunchy and salty seaweed

and how they blend beautifully together.

That's how our family eats rice cakes too.

There aren't a lot of people who eat rice cakes with seaweed.

Thank you.

Oh my god! He's got a nosebleed! What are we going to do?

Lean your head back!

Do you have any tissue?

Use cotton to stop it!

Lean your head all the way back.

- There you go. - Thank you.

Lean your head back. Yeah. There you go.

I'm sorry. You were eating this.

You said you were studying for your GED, right?

- Then shouldn't you work less hours? - I'm fine.

Is he just embarrassed and playing dead?

- Please help me get him on my back. - Sure.

Boss! Boss!

- You want dessert? - Sure.

I got back from work three hours ago

and now I have to go back to work in three hours.

This is why we don't have time to date men.

This is better than having time to date but not having any men.

Even cats find their mates. What are we doing wrong?

- What is it? - What is this?

This is so funny!

Maybe we need to be in an animal suit too.

Master, look at this.

This is cute.

Isn't it funny?

It's cute.

Hello.

- Are you coming back from work? - Yeah.

Cook this for the student when he comes by.

Don't tell him it's from me.

Wow!

This is my first time eating a steak! Thank you.

- Is that also 1,000 won? - No. It's free.

Just because. I got it for free too.

Thank you.

You're so cool. I heard you paid for his hospital bills.

I'll pay you back as soon as I get my paycheck.

You should quit that job.

It's going to get hotter. How are you going to work in that suit?

That's why they pay you the most.

It gets a little hot during the summer, but it gets better afterward.

Also, I heard before Brad Pitt became an actor

he used to wear a chicken suit to promote a restaurant.

- Do Americans eat... - My Brad Pitt did?

Oh no! It would've been better for him to take the suit off and show his face.

So what do you want to be?

- A beggar. - What?

Sometimes, when I see beggars, who just lie there and don't do anything

I envy them.

But not just anyone can become a beggar. You need to be lucky.

- Then why are you even studying? - Huh?

I was talking about Folk Village beggars!

It's the most competitive part-time job to get.

Since they're beggars, they can sleep and eat while working.

But I heard people really throw money in their bowl.

I thought you were talking about actual beggars.

You know you're lucky that you've got really good working conditions here?

- Yes! Thanks to you, Boss. - Of course!

Some people work in animal suits! Here you go. Go ahead and check.

It should be 370,000 won.

Excuse me. Shouldn't it be 780,000 won?

I worked six days a week, three hours a day for an entire month.

You didn't work for an entire month!

You missed three days because you were sick.

- That's because I passed out... - That's your business!

I thought about finding a replacement, but decided to give you a break.

How dare you. I'm an adult.

How dare you talk back.

It's not that, Boss. I just need at least 600,000 won.

I need to deduct the cost of the fliers too.

- Pardon? - Do you know how much a flier costs?

Do you think I don't know about you just throwing those fliers away?

I never wasted them.

- If you don't want it, whatever. - Never mind, Boss. I'm sorry.

I'm sorry. I understand.

- I'm sorry. - Get your head in the game.

All you kids ever want is money.

What a bastard!

Min Woo said he always stayed after work and helped out.

His boss didn't even account for all those extra hours.

How can someone be so mean?

Quack, isn't there a way to punish him by law in situations like this?

I'm an oriental medicine doctor. Not a lawyer.

Doctors and lawyers are both professionals!

What a tactless man.

What are his parents doing? Why aren't they doing anything?

He said he doesn't have parents. His mom passed away when he was seven.

And he doesn't know who his father is.

I heard his grandma used to run an inn in Daechun.

He thinks that his dad was one of her customers.

But his mom didn't tell him about his father.

- I'm sorry. - Fine.

- I'm heading out now. See you. - Hey.

- Work another shift. - Again?

What do you mean again? You should just say yes and take it.

Stop acting so ignorant. You sound uneducated.

- It's just that I have another job. - Hey.

Don't you know that other kids work six hours and get paid 500,000 won?

I always go easy on you. Work more hours.

Do it gently.

If you break any bottles, I'm deducting it from your paycheck.

What are you doing, Min Woo?

Give it to me. Here. Here.

- I'm his uncle. - Pardon?

We should give you a calculator.

You just don't know how to do math.

Or is something wrong with your fingers?

My wife must have miscalculated.

I was going to pay him for the days he missed too.

We're not talking about that.

I've paid him for all the other days.

Is this about his hospital bills?

Compensation?

Are you making me pay compensation for his emotional damage or something?

- What is this? - Read it.

He said read it!

"Ministry of Labor for Adolescents."

What did you say?

"10 Amendments from the Ministry of Labor for Adolescents."

"If one works on the weekends or additional shifts..."

Again.

"If one works on the weekends or additional shifts"

- "increase their pay by 50 percent." - Again!

- "If one works on the weekends..." - Louder!

"If one works on the weekends or additional shifts"

"increase their pay by 50 percent!"

Louder! So that everyone can hear it!

Louder!

He was amazing.

Oh yeah. You asked me what I want to become, right?

When you initially asked me,

I thought it would be enough to graduate from college and get a job.

- But now I have a clear goal. - What is it?

Honestly...

happiness or misery...

I didn't even have time to feel any of these emotions.

I just felt like...

I was drowning in water.

But this world didn't offer me any help.

And I just had to save myself.

It kept on telling me, "Put in the effort. You'll survive."

People who were offered help know.

That hand someone reached out to you.

How grateful you are...

I want to become that person who offers help.

Min Woo, you're so amazing.

Do you want to live with me?

Don't say that to a kid.

Here comes the hero of the day.

Hello.

Hello. I've brought this.

Cook this for him when he comes.

I wanted to give him a gift.

It's too shabby, so please keep this a secret.

This is amazing.

I used to only eat rice cakes with honey.

I never even thought to eat it like this.

My mouth is full of saliva.

I would have been so upset if I died without trying this first!

It is very delicious.

Hey, you quack

you honestly didn't know these would go well together, right?

Whatever. It's all the same once it gets into your stomach.

This is why I call you a quack.

People like whatever goes into their mouth.

The problem is the things that come out of your mouth.

You're so mean.

This is so good.

I've used different seaweed.

It's seaweed from Daechun?

I want this seaweed from now on.

Grilled rice cake and seaweed.

This combination of white and black.

They support one another

and that's perhaps why it tastes good.

I heard my dad also used to like eating rice cakes like this.

Mom said she got this idea from him.
