[Episode 3: Mixed, Radish, and Banquet Noodles]

They must be out of their minds.

The man has two kids but the mom is raising them on her own?

How could they try to set me up with a man like him?

But I heard he's good-looking, tall, and rich.

Forget about it! I never asked anyone to set me up.

How could they try to set me up with someone who has been divorced?

These girls think they're special because they're married now?

How dare they think I'm below them?

- You're the best of all of them. - I agree.

Our food is here. Thank you.

- Thank you. - Thanks.

I'm not going to go to that get-together anymore.

Everyone is married. They always talk about their husbands, kids, or in-laws.

I can't really connect with them. And I can't even pretend to understand.

If we try to react to everything, it gets even more tiring.

I almost threw up trying to react to all of their kids' pictures!

There were over a thousand pictures.

They look pretty to them because they're their own kids.

And on top of that

they tell me things like how I've missed my window for having babies

but that it's never too late.

They pretend like they're concerned. It actually makes me feel worse!

We just don't have to see them again. I'm finished with them.

- You guys, don't contact them. - All right.

These three are friends. They're all thirty-seven years old.

They're all single, and are also referred to as the Noodle Sisters.

In this restaurant, they're referred to as Mixed, Radish, and Banquet Noodles.

They've been friends since high school.

- The secret to their friendship is... - Secret my ass!

It's because you all don't have men.

Once you start dating, you won't have time to sit around here like this.

- We won't abandon each other even then. - You're right.

Honestly, it's more comfortable for me to not be with a man right now.

That's because you always dated bad guys.

You were always popular.

But strangely, you picked guys like that all the time.

The worst one out of all of us is you.

- Me? What do you mean? - Don't you remember?

When we were in college, you went through a break-up

and said you were too embarrassed to go outside.

So you always stayed home.

You said you were going to quit school and become a nun.

You're right. I remember that.

That just proves how innocent I was when I was younger.

Why become a nun instead of a monk?

- You must be a Catholic. - No.

I wouldn't look pretty with my head completely shaved.

Your personality just doesn't fit with their lifestyle.

- Why not? - She always falls in love so easily.

Honestly, I'm not that easy

I just believe in fated love.

Like a car accident, it just happens out of nowhere.

Love that suddenly approaches you.

Do you think all love stories are like the ones in dramas?

"Like a car accident, it just happens out of nowhere!"

You can only get into a car crash if you're wandering outside.

- We're always working or at home. - Exactly.

We're too old to have fantasies like these.

You shouldn't be aimlessly searching for love, but for the right person.

Oh my goodness! So, what kind of person?

- Well. Someone who's tall. - Good-looking.

- Rich. - Nice.

And comes from a good family. That's right.

For a man like that, he can take his pick from girls in their twenties.

Why would a man like that date someone like you?

I now finally understand why you girls are still single.

- What's wrong with us? - We just haven't met our person.

- And we haven't had time. - We've been busy.

- Bye! - Thank you.

I'm so full. Let's go home.

That's strange. He looks very familiar.

- Right? - He looks like someone.

- Who does he look like? - Hey!

Never mind. That's not him.

He's Mr. Indian!

- Mr. Indian? - The restaurant by our school!

- He's Jae Hee! - Oh my god! You're right!

He looks exactly like Jae Hee! I wonder if he's Jae Hee.

He can't be.

- Two cartons with 60 dumplings each. - All right. Thanks.

Do you always buy dumplings?

Yeah. They're homemade, and they taste better than mine.

I see. I wasn't sure how you had time for all of this.

I think it's really him.

They probably just look alike. It's been forever.

No. You know how I never forget someone's face once I see it?

And he was my first love!

Because of him, I used to go to the Indian restaurant every day.

Me too! I cried for days after finding out that he quit.

That restaurant went out of business because he quit.

But didn't he say he went to Seoul University

and was just working part-time because he had to enlist in the army?

If he was that smart, he would be in a much better place than this.

- That's what I think too... - He's coming!

- It's not him! - We could just ask him!

Excuse me! Excuse me!

- Ladies. - Yes?

We have two kinds of red bean ice cream. Which one would you like?

- Should we order this one? - Yeah. Sure. This one.

- Are you sure? - Yeah. This...

How is this possible? It's so cool.

- I'm surprised we've run into him again! - See? Aren't you glad we asked?

Yeah! I'm glad.

It is surprising, though.

Why would a smart researcher like him deliver dumplings?

I didn't know his family was rich.

They've been doing it for three generations.

He really is a master craftsman.

Family businesses like that are better than other smaller enterprises.

He said his family owns many buildings.

All that income from leases. If I were him, I wouldn't even work.

But seeing how he's always working

he and his family must be really good people. Right?

He's helping his family right now too!

- Nice guys aren't that attractive. - Hey.

He's...

- He's probably already married, right? - Of course.

I'm sure girls were all over him. He could be divorced though.

Marriage?

I'm still single. I'm not even dating anyone.

Really?

- Oh my god. - That's impossible.

After that day, they always ordered...

Stab a dumpling and pick it up like this.

Look at all this broth!

Master! Give me some dumplings too. Half with meat and half with kimchi!

I wonder why we never thought to try these delicious dumplings.

That's why you need to try everything like me.

They say the saddest thing in this world is

never having a chance to try a delicious dish.

- No. There's something sadder. - What is it?

Never having a chance to

kiss, date, or find true love.

You're right. I've done everything except for falling in love.

- My goodness. - Me too.

So I'm planning on telling Jae Hee that I like him.

- What? - What are you going to say?

I'm going to ask him out.

No. A man needs to ask a woman out before she does.

Who cares?

Live, as if today is your last day.

Life is too short to not follow our hearts.

But we're too old to just date someone.

What we need is a warm heart and a cool head.

Screw that.

Hey. You should think this through.

What if he says no?

Then you'll just make things more awkward.

And you may just lose a good friend.

I'm too old. I don't have any energy to flirt around with guys.

I just need a definitive yes or no.

He rejected me.

He said he hasn't thought about things like that yet.

That's what he said. But I'm sure it's something else.

Are you wondering if I'm all right?

No.

I'm not okay.

Please give me more noodles.

I've grown a larger stomach because I've been eating it with dumplings.

Oh no... I've gained weight.

Thank you.

After that incident, for some reason

I hadn't seen him or the Noodle Sisters.

This always reminds me of magnolia.

You have a talent for describing food.

Look at all these delicious-looking noodles! Noodles!

Noodles! Yes!

By the way

how come the Noodles Sisters haven't stopped by in a while?

- They're dating these days. - Really?

Yeah. Not Radish Noodle Girl. But the other two are, for sure.

- Have you seen them yourself? - Just look at these.

See? They put up hearts.

Two straws. And look.

She looks like she's lost it.

She probably went on vacation with a guy.

- Who would have taken this picture? - Really?

- Look closely. It has to be a guy. - Really?

If what she said was right, I wanted to congratulate them.

Master. Give us radish and mixed noodles.

Long time no see. I heard you are dating someone.

Says who? I'm not dating anyone!

If you're not, never mind.

Master. Can't you make this spicier?

For a brief moment

I thought her noodles looked like red antiseptics.

Red antiseptics you use to heal wounds.

Even though it hurts when you first put it on

it numbs the pain as time progresses.

- How are things going for her? - I don't know.

Well, I haven't seen her at all. So it must be going well for her.

I'm sure she'll show up again once she breaks up or something happens.

I don't know what's wrong with her.

I don't think you should be the one saying that.

- Let's have a drink. - All right.

- Have you met her boyfriend? - No. You didn't show me your boyfriend.

It's because I wasn't sure about him.

- Maybe she feels the same way. - Maybe you're right.

You were wrong!

I asked her if she was dating someone and she snapped back at me!

They must have broken up.

See? I'm right! She changed her picture to rain.

What is this?

Master, please give me a cup of ice water.

What happened? Did you have an obnoxious customer?

Yeah. My goodness.

You know the Noodle Sisters? They were fighting and grabbing each other's hair.

How did you make time for us?

Is your boyfriend on a business trip?

No, it's not that.

I have a confession to make to both of you.

The person I'm dating...

you guys know him.

Who is he? Does he work for our online store?

No.

It's Jae Hee!

How devious. Since when?

You should have told us sooner.

I just felt sorry and everything.

No need. I just asked him out once. That was it.

Did you officially make a move?

- Are you two going to get married? - Hey.

If it all works out.

You can't! Never!

He's a con man!

He's not a fancy researcher or the son of that store's owner.

He's just a part-time worker at that restaurant.

- He didn't tell you all of this, right? - Oh my god.

There's probably a reason why he couldn't tell me.

I don't care what kind of situation he is in.

- I love him as he is. - You fool.

He doesn't love you. He...

liked me.

He asked me if I could love him despite all of this.

After getting dumped by me

he's only seeing you because you kept following him around.

So you need to snap out of it and end it with him.

No. It's probably the other way around.

Because of his good background

even after you knew I was with him, you probably tried to seduce him.

- What? - Hey. Stop.

That's how you always were.

You went from one guy to another based on their financial stability.

- And took other women's men! - You're being ridiculous.

Have you seen it?

Have you seen me take another woman's man?

That's why no one liked you.

They all said you kept on seducing other women's men!.

I thought you would stop now that you're older.

I guess you couldn't stop after all.

How dare you.

- Hey! - You!

What is wrong with you two?

Oh my goodness.

This is why women’s friendships end once they start dating.

So that's what happened.

That wasn't my intention.

When I first saw them, I was embarrassed to admit that I'm a part-time worker.

So I just made some things up.

I had a stable job, but I quit to start my own business

and I lost everything I had.

Creditors came to my workplace

and I had to close it down.

All the women who wanted me when I was rich left

once my situation had changed.

I just assumed In Hwa would leave me one day too

and let her be.

If she stays by my side after finding it all out

it probably is true love, right?

Yeah. I would think so.

I guess they're all still fighting.

Master, mixed noodles.

- Have you heard? - I heard they're getting married.

Marriage? Who? The Banquet Noodle Girl?

What about me?

Master, banquet noodles.

Give me a bottle of soju too.

- Sure. - My goodness.

I... I'm sorry.

I crossed the line that day.

I made up some stories.

Even still... I shouldn't have slapped you.

You know I really didn't mean what I said, right?

I had an inferiority complex because men only like you.

That's not true.

See? I'm still single.

That's only because you have very high standards!

What about you? You just fall in love every time you see someone.

I still can't really give my blessings.

Me too.

Me three.

- Cheers. - Bottoms up.

Let's do it.

- Aren't there any straws? - This is too little.

Jae Hee must be out of his mind.

How could he send an invitation for his wedding to all three of us?

Honestly, I was so surprised when I first saw the invitation.

- I thought it was from you. - Me?

I'm not crazy! I wouldn't marry a man who messed up our friendship!

If I stayed with him, how could I ever hang out with you guys?

Cheers!

- Yeah! - Yep!

In the end

I heard the woman who stayed by him was the restaurant owner's daughter.

Now that I think about it, Jae Hee looked at her background too.

Once he marries her, that dumpling place is his.

- I heard that family is rich. - That's right.

I thought he was innocent, but he wasn't.

- That bastard. - Hey. He's ugly anyway.

- He'll probably start balding. - Really?

His bangs were covering his forehead, but I saw clearly when it was windy.

He had lost a lot of hair right here. He had the classic 'M' hairline.

You're right!

That reminds me!

I even paid him some congratulatory money after I received his invitation.

- What? - Have you lost it?

- I'm suddenly sober. - Look at this!

What the heck is this?

- Cheers! - Yeah!

- You must have paid for us too! - For sure!

They're back together. They are.

Mixed noodles it is!

Nonsense! In the summer, radish noodles are the best.

No, banquet noodles for all four seasons.

Master, make me some noodles too.

Some sounds stimulate one's appetite.

Out of all of them, the sound of slurping noodles is the best one.

The beauty of eating and sharing with many people.

That may be why noodles are always served at parties.
