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

my day begins.

This is all we have on the menu.

Customers 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.

[Episode 4: Short-necked Clam Soup]

Ten, nine, eight, seven

six, five, four, three

two, one, and go!

The girl's name is Saet Byul. She's waiting for her dad right now.

He's performing a magic trick.

- Sir, have you seen my dad? - No, I haven't.

Did he really disappear?

I scared you, right? Did I scare you?

This is not magic. You were just hiding.

I'm a professional magician.

That's why I only do my tricks on stage, for lots of money.

- You're right. - I'm right.

Saet Byul's dad is a magician.

He mostly works at night these days

but I heard he was a famous magician in his younger days.

It looks so good!

It's true! Dad made Mom disappear with his magic.

Right? You sent Mom to the sky with your tricks, right?

Yeah. Wow! This looks really good!

- You could have just given us one. - I just divided one onto two plates.

You do this all the time...

- Thank him for the meal! - Thank you!

Thanks to him, we get to see magic tricks at our restaurant too.

Let me collect all of your energy.

When he's traveling far or going to adult entertainment places

he leaves Saet Byul with me.

Saet Byul?

Saet Byul.

Did you sleep well? It's getting cold. Put on more clothes.

My doll.

Your doll?

Saet Byul, be careful. Climb Slowly.

I thought she put it in here.

Bye.

- Saet Byul. - Yes?

- Do you want me to sing for you? - Yes.

It's okay if it's a little windy. It's all right. It's okay.

It's all right. It's okay.

It's okay because I'm brave.

There are days when he sometimes cries by himself.

That's not a very good sign.

Short-necked clam soup with soju.

This is what he orders when he's sad.

I could probably drink 10 bottles of soju with this soup.

It tastes refreshing and spicy.

Clams. You can eat them by themselves or with spicy paste.

Dip them in a little bit of spicy paste and soy sauce. It tastes so good!

Don't you agree?

Why are you in such a bad mood? Did something happen?

What's wrong? Are they cutting back your hours again?

- They fired me. - What?

I thought that was your permanent workplace. What happened?

Saet Byul! Come over here!

Don't play with this. It's for my tricks.

Hurry! Quickly! Hurry!

Come over here.

- Since it's loud over there, stay here. - No. I don't want to.

- I want to see your tricks. - No, you can't. Just sit here. Sit.

Stay right here. Don't come out.

Is everyone having a good time?

I'll come back with more fun stuff in the second half of the show.

Right now, our magician will show you some amazing tricks.

If I raise my right hand, clap for him. If I raise my left hand, cheer. Okay?

I've raised my right hand! Now my left!

And if I raise both of my hands?

Thank you. We'll begin once I raise both of my hands.

One, two, three!

Round of applause!

This necklace is the real thing.

It's made out of 18 karat gold!

Scream if you want this!

He'll give this as a gift to one of you.

So what do you need to do? A pigeon will fly out of that hat.

And it will pick one of you.

But strangely, the pigeon doesn't like men.

It will choose a beautiful woman, and we'll give her this gift!

If the pigeon doesn't choose you

everyone else can go out with me.

Give me a round of applause! Let's begin! Here we go!

I wonder what this will do.

Please give him a round of applause!

Why did the pigeon die all of a sudden? When we saw it before, it was fine.

Is it just bad luck? Why did it suddenly die?

It's all I had.

I don't have time to buy a new one and train it.

And no one wants me anyway.

Maybe you could come up with better tricks.

You know the ones where sexy helper's limbs are separated and everything.

The ones where they escape from a water tank. You know?

They want to hire younger, more handsome magicians who are good at those tricks.

I see.

To do tricks like those, I'll need expensive equipment

and an assistant.

I wonder if there's any way...

Ultimately, he had to ask them for one last chance

and did the only thing he could do.

His decision was... Saet Byul.

No matter what

he didn't want to put Saet Byul through it.

But thankfully, he received a positive response.

Performing magic tricks isn't difficult at all. It's so much fun!

- How fun is it? - This much!

- You're so cute! - She says she likes Min Woo.

I like you this much too!

- How much do you like me? - This much!

Hey. You stretched your arms farther for him than for me.

- How much do you like me? - This much!

Your jaw is going to dislocate!

I'm so jealous. I want a daughter like her when I get married.

You know?

You want to give everything to your kid. Let her have things you couldn't have.

That's how I feel.

Even more than the super dads on TV

I'm going to be so good to my kids.

There's no use! Once they grow up, they won't remember any of it.

And they'll argue with you saying that you haven't done anything for them.

It's because you really haven't done anything for your kids.

I haven't abandoned them. I raised them.

This is what I tell my daughter too.

She should be grateful that I didn't have kids with some other woman.

Honestly, I almost had a mistress.

If I had lost it then, our family tree would've become very complicated.

But I made sure I didn't.

You must be so proud.

Is that really appropriate for the kids?

Please understand me.

She probably doesn't understand a thing.

- Dad. What does he mean? - It's nothing.

I'm good at performing magic tricks. Dad, can I do more tricks tomorrow?

Of course!

Let's go to bed so that tomorrow will come faster!

- Should we? - Yes!

Since the kid liked it and things were going well

I was happy for him.

What are they doing?

Magic doesn't exist. It's not real.

- Let go of me! - Hey!

There is no such thing as magic! I don't believe in it!

You! Try to make me disappear! Make me disappear!

We only work with beautiful women! Please get off the stage.

We'll work with beautiful ladies. Please, sir, get off the stage.

What is this? Do you want to die? Huh?

Let go of me! Let go of me! Hey! I said try to make me disappear!

You've been waiting for a long time! We'll now bring the cute girl back!

Pretty girl, please come out! One, two, three!

Saet Byul! Saet Byul!

Saet Byul! Saet Byul!

I'm sorry.

I'm sorry, Saet Byul!

Move aside! Move!

You're drinking too much on an empty stomach.

She was having trouble breathing from being in a closed space for so long.

Thankfully, nothing happened to her.

To die...

I ate it to die.

A short-necked clam soup.

I lost everything I had because I was scammed by my best friend.

I had to run away from the creditors.

Her mother left a three-year-old kid behind and just took off.

A friend who stabbed me in the back

and a wife who left home. I resented them all.

What did I do wrong?

God was so cruel.

This rotten world.

I wanted to finish it before it finished me.

I thought once they found out I'd died, they would probably feel guilty.

For the rest of their lives.

I wanted to get revenge on them by dying.

But my Saet Byul.

What would she do without me?

How difficult would it be for her to be a foster child?

That's why I was going to take her with me.

So I took her to the beach

and I was drinking my last glass of soju.

A short-necked clam soup came out as the side dish

and she just loved it.

For days

I starved her and dragged her around like a crazy man.

But she didn't cry or whine even once.

She just held onto a bowl of hot short-necked clam soup

and slurped it all down.

Then

I just felt a burning sensation in here.

I realized then, this is what being a father means.

This is what it feels like to be a father.

But...

I keep losing confidence.

I keep wondering, is she actually happy?

Is it okay for me to raise her like this?

Do I...

Do I have a right to be her dad?

The sea is composed of the tears all these tightly-sealed clams shed.

Perhaps.

For all of us who carry a load of sadness inside

we occasionally need time to open and be cleansed.

But sometimes, good things do happen.

Someone put up a clip of what had happened that day on the Internet.

It became an issue, and a broadcasting company contacted him.

- You're coming on TV? - Wow!

My dad is going to be on TV!

I may need to get your autograph ahead of time!

What autograph? I'm not even a star.

But you are! Do you know how many people have watched your video?

You need to be funny once you're on TV.

- Only then, other shows will want you. - I'm not very good at that.

What do you mean?

If you try, I'm sure you could be funny.

And take this restaurant as an example.

Do you think that Master was a great cook from the beginning?

He thinks he's a god of cooking or something.

This place doesn't even have a proper menu.

He's good at cooking Korean, Chinese, and Japanese dishes. And everything else!

He's a true master!

- It's a vongole pasta. - It looks good.

So fancy.

Did it start yet?

- When is it starting? - It's going to be a while.

We could have just watched it at home. The restaurant hadn't even opened yet.

You just don't get it. It's more fun to watch things like this with others.

Am I right?

You said it's on live, right? I'm so nervous!

- Don't play with these. I need them. - Three minutes until we're on live!

Three minutes!

Dad. Good luck!

Thanks. I'll do my best!

It's starting!

Here is our first contestant.

A magic show produced by a father and a daughter!

Oh my god! Saet Byul looks so pretty!

You're right. She does look pretty.

Hello. I'm Saet Byul.. Saet Byul's...

I'm sorry. I'll try one more time.

This is the beauty of live shows!

Hello! I'm Saet Byul's dad...

- I'm sorry. - Why is he so nervous?

Does he need some pills to calm him down?

Those could just tire you out. That's why I don't prescribe them to kids.

That's because you're a quack.

With the things that you prescribed my kids, they never did well in school.

There's only so much that you can do with these pills!

They're starting!

Saet Byul.

- Oh no, what happened? - What's going on?

This isn't the end.

Dad! Dad!

- Thanks for the food! - The sun is rising!

Hello! Hello!

Mr. Kim.

I'll see you later.

Master, I want another shot.

That was a good meal!

Hey! Let's go. Come on.

- This way! - I need to go home!

Saet Byul! See you next time! Bye!

I'm fine!

Saet Byul?

Congratulations. I saw how Saet Byul became a star.

I'm going to take her with me.

Isn't he a very famous guy?

He's Leonardo Visual Guide.

You should let him go.

Wanting more would be your greed.

All of a sudden...

Like you and Dad, I may just get pregnant first!

I'm going to break your legs!

Do you remember?

She used to put more butter in your rice.

[The taste you remember]

It's you!

[The taste you will remember]

So have you given the best rating to this restaurant?

How many stars would you give this place?
