All language subtitles for 09.Grilled short rib patties

Subtitles by DramaFever

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
until 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 9: Grilled Short Rib Patties]

Master.

Grilled short rib patties please.

How did it go today?

Second round, 32 seconds.

K.O.

It seems like you got hit
quite a lot for two rounds.

If I look this bad,
how do you think the opponent looks?

You see, that guy is...

This fellow is a professional boxer.

I can tell whether he won or lost
by what he orders.

Grilled short rib patties is
news of his victory.

Jeez.

Man, is this the time for you to be
eating grilled short rib patties here?

Then I can't even buy myself this,
when I've worked so hard?

I said it was a sparring match.

How can you crush a kid who has
a match the day after tomorrow like that?

His trainer is freaking out right now.

I told you to go easy on him since
it was a practice round to encourage him.

There's no such thing as
'practice' in life.

That guy learned something
from me today too.

No one told you to
teach him a lesson about life.

You're not receiving many offers
for matches anyway.

How are you going to make a living
if you don't spar?

Please, come to your senses, you idiot.

It's been 10 years
since he made his debut.

He's become an old hand
inside the ring.

But, it doesn't seem like
many places are asking him to come.

You don't always win
in the world of competition.

On days like this,
what he asks for

is Mugyo-dong style
spicy stir-fried octopus.

You can tell it's spicy
just by looking at it.

- I don't know how he can eat that.
- I don't enjoy eating spicy things.

He's really something.

Thank you for the meal.

There are people who box
these days too.

Of course. It's just not as popular now
as it was in the old days.

Our country did pretty well
back in the old days too.

Kim Ki Soo, Park Jong Pal,
and the curly-haired guy, Jang Jung Goo.

'Mom, I became the champion!'

Hong Soo Hwan.

But, that has become
too unpopular nowadays.

Can you make a living off that?

Well, you have to at least
become the world champion.

You're a bit better off
if you've won a title.

But, I'm not sure
if that fellow has won a title or not.

Hey, we finally got a match.

The New Boxer King match.

I'll register you for
your weight division.

So be careful about even catching
a cold starting from today.

It's the New Boxer King match
that you've been longing for.

It's a title that will only
come once in a lifetime.

Yes, thank you.

You know that this is
your last chance, right?

Yes.

Show your love by donating blood.

Show your love by donating blood.

Come and donate your blood.

Show your love by donating blood.

You can show love

that's 36.5 degrees warm
with three seconds of volunteer work.

Show your love by donating blood.

Show your love by donating blood.

You can show love that's
36.5 degrees warm.

- Okay
- Thank you.

Please donate your blood.
Thank you.

You can show love

that's 36.5 degrees warm with three
seconds of volunteer work. Thank you.

Show your love by donating blood.

You box, right?

How did you know?

The hospital where I used to work
sent me out to conduct a weigh-in.

You don't remember, do you?

I remember though.

Excuse me?

Yong Ryong.

It's not a very common name.

I see.

The pronunciation for my name
is like that phrase 'na na na boo boo.'

It's Yong, as in Yongari,
and Ryong, as in dinosaur.

You remembered.

Don't move or talk now.

Your blood pressure is too high.

Excuse me?

It's ramen.

Why does this smell so good?

Master, please give me
a bowl of steamed rice too.

You said that
you don't consume carbohydrates.

That's what I want to say.

I heard you have high blood pressure.

I said I don't.

You're bound to have high blood pressure
if you eat like that.

Did you quit boxing?

No.

The junior middleweight division
had too few people and was canceled

so I'm going to compete in
the middleweight division.

But, doesn't it hurt when you get hit?

Why do you box when there's nothing good
about hitting and getting hit?

Does it really not hurt
when you get hit?

Of course it hurts.

Having a fist come flying right at you
is probably the scariest moment.

It's really the end
if you close your eyes then.

It's scarier to get hit
with your eyes closed.

The fear that you can't see
can kill a person.

That's true.
I know since I've been hit before.

At times like that, you actually
have to look straight at it

and keep an eye on the fist
until the end.

You have to look squarely at the fear
with your own eyes and overcome it.

That's what makes boxing attractive.

But, if you're really going to do it

you should do something that's
popular now like martial arts.

That's just thoughtless fighting.
Boxing is a sport.

He's a kid who doesn't like
things getting mixed up.

He's not even that simple.

You said you two are friends.

If you fight against each other,
who would win?

Men always do this.

They encourage people to fight
when they're not even doing anything.

Master, I would like a bowl of rice
topped with barbecued beef.

Who would win if you two fought?

I would win of course.

This is like the Hulk going up against
the baby dinosaur Dooly.

Do you want to eat ramen?

But, it seems that gaining weight is
as hard as losing weight for some people.

Here.

You're still at it?

Yes, it's driving me crazy.

How much more weight
do you have to gain?

Three kilograms.

Even if I gain just two more kilograms,
it'll be just enough.

But, it's hard to gain weight
because I exercise a lot.

Still, hard work never lets you down.

What is there to trust in the world?

Do you need to be backstabbed once
to come to your senses?

Please give me a pair of chopsticks.

Although he takes care of himself
for every match

the reason he's taking
such special care like this

is because his very existence is
on the line in this particular match.

If I lose this time too,
I'm going to quit.

Quit?

Then, will you be able to find
a job for me in your field?

Don't make me laugh.

It's hard for us to make a living too.

Why would you come into our field too?

It's just called the
New Boxer King match.

I'm 34 years old.

If I really pack those years in,
my Western age is 32 .

This is the last time
I'm competing too.

I need to win a title
in order to be treated differently.

If I can't win it, then I should quit.

I've been making a living
by sparring for a while now.

That's why I'm telling you to win
the 'New Boxer King' title this time.

Or getting beaten to death inside the ring
would make me feel at ease.

Why do you have to
say something so harsh like that?

Why is a guy who's fighting
with that kind of mindset

going around getting his blood drawn?

What did I do?

I heard you donated blood today too.

If you keep getting your blood
drawn like that, you'll die, man.

As expected, I have good fortune
when it comes to eating.

Why are you talking about blood
with food in front of you?

This guy keeps acting like an idiot.

The kids you're up against are
lively people in their early twenties.

You're already lacking energy as it is.
Why would you get your blood drawn?

You need every single drop.

Well, donating blood is a good deed
that saves people's lives.

On top of that, I exercise a lot.

Please lift your arm slightly.

I'm a man of Korea who
neither smokes nor drinks at all

and has a healthy body and mind.

We're thankful,
but I feel like you're coming too often.

You can only get blood drawn
twice a month.

There are other things too.

Please draw out whatever you can.

Mr. Seo Yong Ryong.

Yes.

Doesn't it hurt?

How could something like this
hurt for a man?

You're not a man
if drawing a little blood hurts.

Not that.

I mean here.

I guess you get hurt
even if you wear gloves.

No wonder.

I knew it, man.

Is this the time for a guy who has one
last chance to be interested in a woman?

That's true, but...

But that woman has feelings
for you too, Yong Ryong.

- Really?
- Of course.

You said that she put
ointment on your hand.

That's because she's a nurse.
She has that habit because of her job.

Still, women don't do that to
men they don't like.

They would just toss
the bottle of ointment at the guy.

I see.

That may be why this match
is more important to him.

Here.

Again. One.

Fortunately, his last challenge
went smoothly.

For both his work and love life.

The goddess of fate was smiling at him.

Congratulations.
It's the finals now.

Yes, thank you.

Then, you're almost at your goal now.

Are the preparations going well?

Well, I'm just doing my utmost best.

I don't mean that.

There's something else
you've prepared.

What is it?

It's true.

The finals bear a significance that's as
important as the 'New Boxer King' title.

I'm asking, what is it?

A proposal.

No, it's not that much.

It's just a confession.

Since we're just getting to know
each other right now.

The proposal he prepared is a reenactment
of a scene from the movie 'Rocky.'

He said it was his dream from
the moment he first put on his glove.

That was truly the most memorable scene
in that movie.

Seriously.

Rocky got beaten up to the point
where his eye was all bloody.

But, the actor's eyes are droopy,
so he couldn't see anything.

Still, he yells, 'Adrian! Adrian!'

You sound like a dying pig.

How can it feel so different,
when it's the same dialogue?

I know.

You think it won't be like that
when he does it?

I'm really looking forward to it.

You have to win no matter what.
Way to go!

Way to go! Way to go! Way to go...

I'll have two servings of
grilled short rib patties prepared.

Okay, thank you.

- Cheers.
- Okay.

Seconds out!

- Way to go!
- Way to go!

You have a lot of experience.

So, go slowly while throwing a punch
once in a while, okay?

The opponent was too fast.

I guess he met an opponent
who was too strong.

But, Yong Ryong was a problem too.

It didn't seem like he did much
inside the ring

but he looked worn out
after only one or two rounds.

Hey, you get tired after running on
a treadmill for only three minutes, right?

It's the same for him.

So what if he's still young at heart?

He's 34 years old.

He's no match for
a guy who's in his twenties.

It's admirable enough that he even
made it to the finals at that age.

But the way I see it,
that was a strategy.

- A strategy?
- Yeah.

Since the opponent was young and fast

he moved as little as possible
and waited for his opponent to wear out.

- Now that I think about it, you're right.
- He's smarter than he seems.

Around the time
the round started and ended

he drew the opponent to his corner.

That way, once the bell rings,
he can just sit there and rest.

But the opponent has to take
a few more steps to return to his corner.

How tired would he get from
taking those few steps?

No.

The energy lost from those few steps
influences who wins and who loses.

They have to pour all of their energy
into the three minutes.

You're right.

The opponent started to slow down
from the fourth round onward.

Oh my, you're sharp.

That's why I'm pretty good at
examining people's pulses.

Pulses, yeah right.

Anyhow, he took a few light punches
from his opponent

and once he saw a chance
after his opponent got tired

that's when he threw a single blow.

In the fourth round,
the opponent was coming at him

and was knocked out.

He should've finished him then.

But, his opponent's coach was good.

I think he has experience.

When the kid was trying to get up
right away after falling down

the coach stopped him from getting up.

Rest. Don't get up.

Rest, rest, rest.

Yeah, I thought that was strange.

Fight.

I see.

If he had attacked the guy nonstop
as soon as he got up

he could've finished him right away.
Seriously!

He should've finished him then.

Anyhow, what about that young lady?

I don't think I saw her.

Did she not come?

You see, that...

Way to go!

Yeah, you did well.

You did your best.

You worked hard.

It's all over.

Mi Young! Mi Young!

You worked hard.

He showed his fighting spirit
until the end.

But, in the end...

the goddess of fate was not on his side.

It would have been better for
that young lady not to go.

It's all over.

To be honest, I was also horrified
seeing him get beat up like that.

I'm never going to let my man
do something like that.

It didn't seem like
he could do that for long either.

Still, he endured it until the end
because his woman was watching.

I was a little touched by that.

What's the point of doing that?

He showed her something that
was very unpleasant.

He said that
he even prepared a proposal.

I feel bad for him.

Yong Ryong probably won't be able to
come here for the time being.

He's lucky that he wasn't
carried out on a stretcher.

What are you doing over there?

Hey, let's go.

Master.

Please give me two servings of
grilled short rib patties.

Two servings.

Thank you for the meal.

Here. Try it.

It tastes amazing.

Sometimes, who you eat with is
more important than what you eat.

Just like how at this moment today

the grilled short rib patties will be
remembered as the best ones in his life.

Eat.
