Around the time that people hurry home after the day ends...

my day begins.

This is all that's on the menu.

Other than that, customers order whatever they want

and I make it for them as long as it's possible.

The restaurant is open from midnight till seven o'clock in the morning.

You may ask, are there people who come to this old, worn-out place?

Well, there are quite a lot.

[Episode 7: Ginseng Chicken Soup]

Today's a dog day of summer, so let's all get ginseng chicken soup.

- Come on. - Why soup?

What kind of rule is that?

This place makes whatever the customers want.

Yeah, I hate meat that's drowned in water the most.

You should be mindful of the person making the food too.

You guys said you hate when the orders from one table are all different too.

We don't hate it.

I like that the most.

Jeez.

I was going to help you restore your energy.

Fine.

Then, order anything you guys want.

Yes.

Is there someone like that out there for me?

What should I eat?

I had something in mind until just now.

I want spicy rice cakes that are spicy enough to make you cry.

You want spicy rice cakes here too?

Eat something else.

Why are you making a fuss when it's up to me?

This man's name is Sung Gyun.

He's the owner of a nearby cafe.

He has dinner with his employees here from time to time.

You should order. Is there anything you want to eat?

I'm fine with anything.

They say that it's the scariest when women say they're fine with anything.

I heard that even though they say they're fine with anything

what they really mean is you should order what they like for them.

Order.

Hey, it's fine. You eat it.

There's too much, so I can't eat it all by myself.

Have this too.

I'm really okay.

Here, eat this.

- Thanks. - It tastes really good.

- Thank you for the meal. - Thank you for the meal.

I'm so full.

It was so spicy.

This place is good.

- We'll come again. - Okay.

Oh my, those two are dating.

The owner and the young lady beside him who was eating soup.

I'm a hundred percent certain.

I'm very quick at sensing those kinds of things.

I wondered if they could really be dating

but it turned out they were.

On top of that, those two...

Marry?

What do you mean, marry?

Think about your age right now.

What?

You got married at twenty.

I'm one year older than that.

You be quiet.

You.

I mean, sir. How old are you this year?

What do you mean, how old?

He's not even old.

You shouldn't do that when your parents are talking.

Okay.

First, I would like to apologize.

I am quite a bit older than Hye Ri.

How much older?

I was born in the year of the cow, in 1973.

You.

You rascal.

- How can you... - Honey.

Look...

Please leave quickly, before her younger siblings come.

That kid is crazy.

Seriously.

He should be acting his age.

Jeez, he's playing along with her game.

Mom!

I'm sorry.

It's reasonable for them to be like that.

The age difference is 21 years.

21 years?

Looks like this guy saved the universe in his past life.

What's so wrong about that?

Jung Woo Sung and Lee Jung Jae are the same age as Sung Gyun.

Then, go and bring Jung Woo Sung or Lee Jung Jae.

Sung Gyun is a hundred times better looking than them.

Yeah, right.

Do you want to live off his looks?

Jeez, you fool.

Why would you marry such an old man when you're not lacking anything?

He's not an old man!

Be quiet.

I barely got your dad to sleep by making him drink liquor.

You also said that rather than a partner of the same age like Dad

it's better to meet an older person who's earnest and mature.

The age difference should be reasonable.

Even if you have a child now

he would be 50 by the time your child started elementary school.

People will think that he's coming to his grandchild's entrance ceremony.

That's why we have to get married quickly now before it gets any later.

How can you say that after seeing how I've lived?

I told you that nothing good comes out of a woman getting married early.

It's better to get married quickly

and live together for even a day longer if you think he's the one.

Yeah, right.

You're saying that because you don't know!

The thing that I deeply regret even now

is that I didn't try meeting more guys and marry at an older age.

You're blinded by love

so you like everything about that old man right now, don't you?

Just wait a little while.

You'll be asking yourself why you liked him then.

No.

I've met a lot of guys since high school because you kept saying that.

But, no matter how much I look, there's no one as good as Sung Gyun.

As you live longer, you'll find more people as good as him.

You'll find at least another truck full of them.

- Mom! - No means no.

Ask other people on the street if this situation exists elsewhere.

The truth is, it's no wonder because...

Her parents...

the people who will become my mother and father-in-law...

are a year younger than me.

The two of them met when they were 20 years old

and had her.

Man, that's difficult.

What's so wrong about that?

It's not that Sung Gyun's old.

The problem is that you and Dad are too young.

No one told you to have me so quickly.

It's all yours and Dad's fault.

I can't believe I ate seaweed soup after giving birth to a girl like this.

Does your Sung Gyun, or whatever you call him, know you're doing this too?

Of course.

My Sung Gyun says I'm lovely no matter what I do.

That guy's crazy too.

Then again, that's probably how he could come here like that.

Stop acting up and end it.

If you really oppose us like that

I might have a kid first like you and Dad did.

How dare you say that right now.

That's why I'm asking you to give us your blessing!

I'm all grown up now.

Mom, to be honest, what will you do if I go get pregnant somewhere first?

If you do that, I'll break your legs.

Just do it.

Have a child first.

I don't want to do that.

What? Why not?

It seems nowadays it's like a second dowry and not even considered a fault.

I want to formally get permission and get married.

I'm a pretty old guy who is daring to get married in secret.

I don't want to push forward with it by disappointing our parents like that.

Jeez, I guess this client's not in a hurry yet.

My family is yelling at me to get married quickly.

But, it's a marriage that will only happen once in a lifetime for her.

I want to let her enter the wedding ceremony honorably

with the blessing of both families.

Why are things so difficult?

No one's picking up my calls today either.

Life is so difficult.

In the end, from that day on

his fiancee apparently had her cell phone taken away

and was confined to her house.

She ran away again today.

How many months has it been going on already?

Her dad even cut her hair with a cloth over her head.

Anyhow, she's really something.

However, to lovers who are in love

obstacles are like miracle drugs that make their love more passionate.

Isn't she doing that for our boss' money?

She has several younger siblings

and worked because she said she needed to earn her own tuition.

Even so, why would she...

Why not?

I heard that our boss has a good family background too.

I heard that his siblings are all well-off too.

So what? He only owns a cafe.

You crazy fool.

Hey, do you know how much that cafe costs?

Also, it's not just an ordinary cafe.

It's a franchise.

I heard that our boss created it.

Is that so?

This girl intentionally latched onto him.

That's what I'm telling you.

Anyhow, women can use marriage as their career if they can't get a job.

How great is it for them?

If they meet the right man and get married

what better lifetime career is there than that?

The law should ban women from getting employed.

They should just get married.

It's already hard enough for us to get employed as it is.

I don't know why they're trying to find jobs too.

Then, if you get married later on

are you going to stop your wife from working?

Are you crazy?

How can you live off one salary these days?

I'm going to make her go out and make money no matter what.

I knew it.

Young people these days.

Hey, if we earn money diligently from now on

will we be able to own a building after the age of 40

and meet a 20-year-old too?

First, get a job.

Then, earn a lot of money without taking a break

and buy a whole lot of lottery tickets.

If one of them is a winning ticket, then you can.

You crazy fool.

But, I don't really understand our boss either.

I mean, if she runs away from home on a daily basis

shouldn't he just run away with her to some place?

Why does he take her home every day?

That's what I want to ask.

Does he lack energy?

That's possible.

Until the season changed once again...

I didn't see either one of them.

But...

Hello.

We're here.

I thought the fight for love had paid off at last...

No.

Don't even get me started.

I was locked up in my room when it was so hot.

Sung Gyun told them how I had run away

so they covered the whole window with steel bars.

Hey, what was I supposed to do?

You were jumping down from without fear.

Oh dear.

It was from the second floor, so it's okay.

I threatened that I would jump off and die

but it was absolutely no use.

You weren't okay. You even broke your leg.

It's because I fought by risking my life

that I was able to at least be released like this.

Since I ran out like that

you should've bought me something before taking me home.

Jeez, you're so rigid.

I've been wanting to eat this so much.

It tastes so good.

But...

I wonder why your mother gave you permission to go out?

It was more than just giving permission.

She told me to go out and have as much fun as I wanted.

Is it sarcasm?

No.

I'm not sure what it is, but I think they changed their approach.

Seeing as they're telling me to even go to the club with my friends

maybe they want me to meet another man while I'm having fun?

My parents really don't know me.

I normally prefer dignified men like George Clooney.

Since my parents kept working

and my younger siblings were born one after the other

I pretty much grew up at my grandparents' house.

Was my uncle a university student back then?

All of my uncle's friends liked me.

So, even if I was away from my parents, I wasn't sad at all

and had a very fun time.

I'm not sure if it's because of that

but, I prefer older men and find that they make me more emotionally stable.

Also, to be honest, my parents are the same age

so when they bickered every day without backing down

they would address each other informally.

I didn't like that either.

But, my parents don't even know that, and just relentlessly...

Jeez.

So, what are you going to do now?

What do you mean, what are you going to do?

Just as my parents hope, I'm going to have a lot of fun

which I couldn't have until now.

Yeah, have as much fun as you want.

Cheat on me too.

Of course I will.

I even have a blind date scheduled already.

I thought that was a joke.

Oh my.

It's eel.

I really find myself wanting healthy foods as I get older.

But, why are you alone today?

She went on a blind date with her friends.

Again?

Thank you for the meal.

She went to the club with her friends.

What?

Still, on Christmas Eve?

She said they have to go on a day like this

for there to be a lot of hot guys.

I have to go pick her up once she's done.

Aren't you anxious?

I should let her do everything that can be done at that age.

There is a time for all of that.

I enjoyed everything I could enjoy and moved on.

If I stop her from enjoying her prime now

it would be unfair.

What if she really ends up cheating on you?

Then, I should let her go.

It would be greedy to expect anything more.

The woman grabbed onto a good man.

I thought she was with him for his looks and money

but that's not it.

She's a good judge of character, even though she's young.

Young people these days are so clever.

They should leave those kinds of men for people like me.

I mean, they have a bright future ahead of them anyway.

Master, please give me another plate of tofu kimchi.

Okay.

[My lime-orange tree.]

It seems that women all think the same way.

Your mother gave you this?

Yes, my mom said that it's real domestically produced deodeok

and gave it to me saying that I should give it to Sung Gyun.

I purposely hung around outside and went home completely drunk every day.

Even so, Sung Gyun consistently took care of me and took me home

and even put up with my drunken behavior.

After seeing that, my mom finally recognized Sung Gyun's worth.

It's not like she has fully acknowledged me yet.

No.

I fought with my dad yesterday.

But my mom defended you, saying that after seeing you

there's no other man as good as you.

Even I was surprised.

- She really said that? - Yeah.

She said you even take care of all my younger siblings already.

And besides the fact that you're a bit old

there's no one who would be better than you as the eldest son-in-law.

I'm grateful to your mother.

Well, she still says that later on I'll complain that I can't live with you

and ask her why she didn't dissuade me more at the time.

The problem is my dad.

Still, how great is it that at least your mother's on our side?

You're right.

After that, it seems that with the mother and daughter's joint efforts

they planned a few meals with the father.

But the father avoided the meetings each time

using the excuse that he was going to exercise.

I'm guessing you came out to exercise.

Yes.

Seriously.

The rest of my family acknowledges you as a son-in-law.

Shouldn't my dad just let it go and acknowledge you as a son-in-law now?

You're 43 years old.

We can't let another year pass like this.

It's okay.

Just as you said

even Jung Woo Sung and Lee Jung Jae, who are my age, aren't married yet.

I'm sorry.

It's fine.

I understand how your father feels.

I probably would've been worse if it was our daughter.

I hope we don't have a daughter like this.

Still, they say affection for son-in-laws comes from mother-in-laws.

My mom said to come over on dog day to eat ginseng chicken soup.

- Really? - Yeah.

My restaurant also serves ginseng chicken soup as a special menu item on dog days.

On that day too, as soon as the father saw the mother making the soup

he apparently left the house, perhaps knowing that the man was coming.

But this time, he wasn't alone.

Hello.

Does that guy age backward or something?

Starting next year, come over to our house to eat it.

The two got married with the blessing of both families at last.

But...

it seems that the soup I made that day worked too well.

Apparently, the mother-in-law became pregnant with a late child.

It looks like my wife will go into the postnatal care center

at the same time as my mother-in-law.

Jeez.
