[Episode 6: Steamed Spareribs and Kimchi]

This is called the devil's recipe.

It's called a "calorie-bomb sandwich" which is full of calories.

At our restaurant

she's the only one who occasionally orders this.

I don't know why you would eat something so fatty and sweet.

Women are always on a diet. Yet, they enjoy eating things like that.

I know.

She says she's full and still eats things like that with coffee.

She puts cream and everything on her bread and just chugs it down.

Women have a separate stomach for meals and desserts.

Also, for people like me who work late and think a lot, we need to eat sweets.

This lady is a cartoonist. She usually draws romance manga

but I heard her characters are very unrealistic.

Take a look at this.

Her proportions are all off. Are they octopuses or actual humans?

- They're so tall. - And what's with their eyes?

Even though these are manga, they are just too much.

- What? This is how I used to look. - Lies.

According to her

until about 15 years ago

she used to be thin when she was in her twenties.

- You're lying through your entire life! - What? What do you mean?

- Your name is Yoo Mi, right? - Yeah.

This body just doesn't match well with that name.

Oh my goodness!

Master, give me steamed spareribs and kimchi with lots of powdered red pepper!

My goodness!

But she must have been telling the truth.

She's telling the truth.

She used to do ballet until she was in high school.

There were a lot of guys who liked her.

See? I told you. I used to be as thin as her.

You are three times as large as her.

You are always lying.

Stop it!

I heard all athletes gain weight really fast once they stop exercising.

That's right. And I also always loved eating.

So can you imagine how much pain I was in while I was doing ballet?

You said you used to always draw all the food you wanted to eat.

That may actually be why you became a cartoonist.

That's right. It's because I've always been drawing food.

There's nothing more frustrating than that.

Here you go.

See? With this one...

you need to eat it like this. This is the only proper way.

Of course. For sure.

There's a difference between eating something well and eating a lot it.

People think we just eat whatever and however because we are fat.

But that's not it at all.

Compared to others

we just happen to know more ways of eating things more deliciously.

That's right. You get me.

You know what happened?

When I first started drawing manga

I ate this dish with the producers.

But since I was so nervous and new to everything

I just couldn't eat this very well.

And I kept on thinking about it in my sleep.

So I went out to a restaurant by myself and had three servings of it.

So since then

whenever I think about this dish

I have this mindset that I must eat it!

It's like my brain is sending me these thoughts.

Hold on. We need to eat it like this. See?

- Roll it up like this. - Oh my goodness.

I've never thought of this.

- Oh my god! - Wow!

There you go.

Doesn't the deep taste of kimchi and meat fill your mouth all together?

- Yeah! - See? There you go!

Ballet my ass.

You probably can't even lift your toe.

- So do you not regret quitting ballet? - Of course not!

Once I broke by leg, and they told me I could never do ballet again

I felt like I could just fly away!

- Did you hate it that much? - Yeah!

I felt like I was a prisoner freed from jail!

Did you hurt your leg on purpose?

I may have!

This is so spicy. I could eat this forever.

This and soy sauce marinated crab. I could eat those forever. Right?

By the way, we need to go on a diet.

We can start tomorrow.

But she didn't always push dieting back to tomorrow.

Hold still for a few seconds, then move your hip sideways.

Move to your left. Next, breath in.

Then move back to the center and push backward.

Today, we'll try doing squats.

One, two, three, four!

Move your butt like this!

She has actually tried all the dieting tips.

She calls herself an early adapter in the dieting world.

Of course, the problem is her determination doesn't last too long.

And there are a variety of reasons why she quits her diet.

What do you have against vegetables?

Don't talk to me. I'm feeling edgy because I'm on a diet.

- Do you want me to take out the yolk? - Just leave it in.

I just want to look at it.

These...

they taste so good if you crush them and eat them with spicy rice cakes.

I'm not from Denmark. I can't follow their diet plans.

I could go on this diet though. It's called the Emperor's Diet.

You don't eat any carbohydrates and just eat beef!

I have actually lost three kilograms.

My goodness!

It just doesn't make any sense. How could someone eat only beef?

- So what is that? - It's green tea extract.

If you sprinkle this on your food, you don't gain weight.

Let's see...

It doesn't taste that good.

One time, this is what she did.

Master!

She's a nocturnal person. But that day, she showed up at dawn.

Starting from today, I'm going to eat one meal a day.

Since it's okay to eat a large breakfast, I'm having my meal for the day now.

- So all of this is your breakfast? - Yes.

Miss, you make everything look so good.

Pardon? Oh, yes.

I get that a lot.

Since I've removed two-thirds of my stomach

I can't eat even when I want to.

Watching you eat makes me happy.

Around that time, he occasionally used to come and drink by himself.

He didn't seem very ordinary.

- I'll pay. Order more if you want to. - Oh, no. It's okay.

Thank you for your offer, but I'm on a diet right now.

Master, he's making me rethink this.

But after that

until I closed, she ate about six meals.

And her results, as always...

What to do? I gained weight.

It must be because I sleep right after my meal.

That's why her nickname is the Queen of Yo-yo.

No! You haven't. You look thinner since you've been eating one meal a day.

- Really? Do I look thinner? - Yeah! Your face looks smaller.

Where exactly did she lose weight?

That's weird. I've actually gained weight.

No! Your weight can increase when you gain muscles too!

It's the body fat percentage that matters.

Also, it's bad for you to lose a lot of weight at once!

At our age, we just look older when we lose weight.

Shouldn't she at least lose weight in one area of her body?

My food is ready!

My goodness! You don't know the proper way to eat this!

With soybean paste, you need to wrap it in lettuce like this.

In several layers. Like this.

And scoop up a lot of it. You must eat it like this.

Hey! Just eat it!

One meal a day, my ass! You're going to get intestinal problems.

Right? You're right! Yeah!

By the way, doesn't your husband ever tell you to lose weight?

My husband doesn't.

But my in-laws are the problem.

They tell me the reason I can't get pregnant is because I'm fat.

How could they say that?

Don't get stressed from it. I heard stress makes it worse.

Men, those in-laws!

If things had gone badly, you may have experienced that before all of us.

You wanted to follow that vocalist guy and study abroad with him!

- Really? - My goodness.

I was 20 years old. I don't know what I was thinking.

So was he your first love?

Yeah. If I had gone abroad with him then

I can't imagine what my life would look like now.

But I like the life I have right now better.

It's not like I'm going to get married at this age and be abused by my in-laws.

That's it! You're talented. Why would you be treated like that?

Right? I'm already fulfilling all of my fantasies in my manga anyway.

- Isn't this so good? - Yeah!

People think fat people don't eat any vegetables!

But these vegetables all taste so different and fresh!

- Right? - Yeah!

Unfortunately, one day...

I knew she had hyperlipidemia

but how could she die all of a sudden?

They are her diet foods.

When I got home after the funeral, a package had arrived.

She probably didn't know...

this would be her last purchase.

I debated over what to do with it. And I remembered what she used to say.

She always said

out of all of her friends, you are the prettiest one.

She said once you lose weight, you'll look pretty like the old days.

Min Jung.

Min Jung.

Again.

Here you go. It's chicken curry.

Yoo Mi, what is that?

- Do you want to try a bite? - Get away from me.

So she started a cruel diet for her friend and herself.

However...

One order of steamed spareribs and kimchi please.

- What kind of spareribs? - The back ribs, of course.

- I would like back ribs. - Some customers like pork neck too.

I almost lost it.

Thank god he didn't know how to eat steamed spareribs and kimchi properly.

If he had made it look a little more delicious, I may have ordered one.

Oh my goodness!

- You must not like that dish. - No. The problem is I like it too much.

I can eat it indefinitely. I could just eat four bowls of rice with it.

I can't believe I controlled myself! I'm so proud of myself.

This must be why people go on diets.

Master, give me steamed spareribs and kimchi with soju.

Why are you ordering that here?

- Where else would I order it? - You usually get soup!

I can't always eat soup.

I just saw it on TV and wanted it. Do you have a problem?

Oh my goodness.

Just roll it up like this.

This is steamed spareribs. This is steamed spareribs.

This is steamed kimchi. This is steamed kimchi.

That day, she desperately controlled herself.

Steamed kimchi...

Spareribs... Kimchi... Spare...

Spareribs...

Jeez.

My friend.

Protect me from the seduction of steamed spareribs and kimchi.

You've lost a lot of weight!

- How many kilograms did you lose? - You can't really tell.

- But I've lost about eight kilograms! - Wow! Isn't this your best for far?

- Congratulations. - I still have a long way to go.

I'm impressed! This is the first time you've done it for this long, right?

Yeah. I think I'm getting the hang of it now.

Dieting is all about determination.

- The determination to lose weight? - No.

The determination to not fall for seductions from food.

Seduction from food?

I've failed until now because I always fell for that.

But now I've finally learned

how to overcome that urge to eat.

You've now mastered it then.

Yeah, I guess you could say that.

What am I to him? I'm so pissed. My god.

So pissed.

Master, give us steamed pork and kimchi.

No, it's steamed spareribs and kimchi.

Give us a large steamed spareribs and kimchi. And rice? Three bowls?

- I can't! I can't! - What's wrong?

That's not enough food.

Give us a large steamed spareribs and kimchi with four bowls of rice.

I can't do it! I can't hold it in anymore!

Yoo Mi. Yoo Mi?

Yoo Mi!

I'm sorry. I shouldn't be doing this.

It's okay. I used to do that too.

Don't overdo it.

I liked watching you eat like that.

You should eat as much as you want.

But don't hurry over to my side so soon.

You must live for me too.

Thank you.

Min Jung? Min Jung?

Min Jung?

Oh my goodness.

So she went back to how she used to be.

These are some mountain herbs.

But instead... Master, give me a half bowl of rice.

- All right. - How come...

Because I feel sorry.

I feel like I'm just eating however I want to again.

Don't feel guilty.

I'm sure your friend liked watching you eat, just like me.

No.

Honestly, I ask for a half bowl of rice at first

but I always order another half bowl of rice as I eat.

I must have lost my mind. I feel so pathetic.

I used to live exactly the opposite of how you do.

When I was younger, I was obsessed with work

and didn't care if I ate or not.

I just ate whatever.

I thought, instead of pettily eating

I should use that time to earn more money

and have a better life later down the road.

And that's what I did.

Now I have the means to do that

but I simply can't eat anymore.

Do you know the easiest and greatest

happiness people can obtain while living their life?

I don't know.

It's the happiness obtained from eating.

That may perhaps be why

people are watching others eat on TV nowadays.

When you watch these shows, you may not actually be eating yourself

but they make you think that you are.

For me, you were that person.

Hello, sir.

Chairman.

No wonder. I felt like he wasn't an ordinary person.

I had no idea he would be that kind of person.

So that grandpa is the leader?

Watch your words.

I'm in a bad mood because I got scolded for that.

How come? Why did he scold you?

He's upset that he can't freely stop by this restaurant anymore.

- Why not? He can act how he used to. - Forget it.

- You. - Me?

He told me to give this to you.

It was a smaller and fancier rice bowl than all the other ones.

- My goodness! - It's the perfect size.

You're right.

- Look at this! - It's so pretty!

- Isn't it so pretty? - This doesn't fit you!

See? Take a look at it. Since then, her orders were...

Master, give me a full bowl of rice in my bowl!

Here you go. In your personal rice bowl.

I thought that you enjoy your food first through your nose

then through your mouth. But you also enjoy it with your eyes.

Do you get full just by looking at it?

Master, I'm going to want more rice.

If you think you'll run out of rice, you need to make more right now.

I think instead of your rice bowl

you should get a smaller stomach.

No, I think my problem is that

I just know too many flavors in this world.

There is a saying that whatever you eat, they're all flavors you already know.

What a joke! That's why I want to eat them more!

Hey. I think the biggest problem is eating like this late at night.

If you want to lose weight, you should stop coming here.

This place is my worst enemy when it comes to being on a diet.

But a life without this place would be no fun!

- You're right! - That's true.

- Right? - Yeah.

That may be where that phrase comes from.

The phrase "you eat very pleasantly."

As you watch someone eat

it brings you warmth.

That's perhaps the good fortune that comes from sight-tasting.

- Min Woo. Min Woo! - You're seriously not my style. Sorry.

Min Woo!

- Let's not have kids. - You should get married first.

Maybe I should learn some magic tricks.

I think I could find a man through this.

Let's go! Yeah!

Let's go on another round!

Follow me. This way.

Honey, hold on. There are more things to eat here.

We shouldn't throw any food away! It's a sin!

My food! Oh no!

- See you, sir. - Watch where you're going.

- My toe hurts. - Bye.

- Sir. - Yeah?

- Bye. - See you.

I came to this amazing restaurant and just drank four sips of beer.

And it didn't even have any alcohol in it.

See you. I'm leaving.
