All language subtitles for 15.Potato ongshim seaweed soup

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.

[Late Night Restaurant]

The restaurant is open from midnight
to 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 15: Potato Ongshim Seaweed Soup]

I'm hungry. Oh, I'm hungry.

I'm so hungry that
I think I'm going to die.

I would like spicy and sour
buckwheat noodles

and rice topped with egg
and pollack roe...

I also want to eat tuna rolls,
and I'm also craving carbonara.

The curry seems tasty too.

Why am I constantly so hungry?

The name of this young lady,
who's a travel guide, is Ji Young.

She's been known as the greatest person
at our restaurant lately

because she sucks in everything like
a black hole since her stomach's big.

Eat the dishes one by one,
slowly, one after the other

instead of ordering
three or four dishes all at once.

You have to eat several dishes together
for it to taste good.

Just like a buffet.

This girl is such a fraud.

Master, you remember
when she first came here, right?

Then again, she was completely different
when she first came here.

[The Love of May:
Parents' Day or Teachers' Day Carnations]

How hot is the upcoming summer
going to be

if the weather's like this
when it's only May?

It's too hot.

Do you serve seaweed soup...

with potato ongshim in it?

Potato ongshim, you say...

There are sometimes people
who ask for it as a special dish.

But it was the first time
in quite a while that someone did.

The potato starch makes
the flavor of the soup richer.

But, there aren't many people
who know that.

Here is the potato ongshim seaweed soup
that you ordered.

I'm sorry.

What the...

Two days after that...

Excuse me.

Would it be possible for you to make me
potato ongshim seaweed soup?

Is today a special occasion?
Why didn't you close the restaurant?

I went to the public bathhouse, and...

I'm sorry.

I'm sorry.

So, I thought you were anorexic.

But, how can you eat so well like this?

Aside from the fact that you eat well,
you know all sorts of strange things.

I found out that potato ongshim
can be put into seaweed soup

for the first time because of you.

Look at this. What is this
rice topped with egg and pollack roe?

This is topped with thin fried egg slices
and the peel of salted pollack roe.

This tastes really good because
there's oyster sauce in it.

This is definitely something
that you cooked at home.

Hey, is your mother Dae Jang Geum,
by any chance?

No.

My meals at home were hospital food.

What?
You're a hospital owner's daughter?

How can you come to
that conclusion so quickly?

Well, you said that your meals
at home were hospital food.

My mom worked in a hospital kitchen.

She always brought home the leftover
rice and side dishes from there.

I guess hospital food is really good

seeing as you grew up as the type who
doesn't get fat even if you eat like this.

No. I hated that food so much.

The rice that my mom brought home
always smelled like the hospital.

The pungent and spine-chilling smell

that makes you nervous for no reason
and makes you feel unpleasant.

I think I know what that is.

When you go to the hospital,
that smell hits you first.

- Yeah, that...
- It's a little bit scary.

Yeah, that's right.
It's a scary smell.

Did you know that
every house smells different?

They all smell different.

The smell of the food
that is cooked in the house

permeates all of the furniture
and wallpaper.

So our house always
smelled like the hospital.

I hated that so much.

So I didn't even bring friends
over to my house.

But my mom packed it as my lunch too.

Still, you were being too much.
That's such a waste of good food.

You'll be punished
if you throw away food.

I know.

But still, I didn't like it because
I worried that my friends would find out.

Yeah.

It's possible to do that during puberty,
when you're the most sensitive.

So you're eating all these tasty foods
because of the sorrow

of not being able to eat back then.

But, how come you don't gain weight,
when you eat more than me?

What exactly is the reason?

Don't say things like,
'I was born with it' or whatever

because I just hate
those kinds of people.

I gain weight when I eat too.

It's just that...

I'm in a certain situation right now.

So, what's your secret?

Pregnancy.

Then again, you do lose weight
when you get morning sickness...

What? Pregnancy?

You're pregnant?

Who's pregnant?

Well, I mean, congrats.

It's something to congratulate, right?

Yes.

What does the child's father do?

He's a senior whom I worked with
when I was a travel guide in Thailand.

I said that we should get married
and live together in Korea or Thailand.

But when I told him
that I was pregnant

he took his passport and fled to
another country the next day.

Oh my.

Seriously, he's an extremely bad person.

That's the problem with men.

Do you want me to send out
a few guys I know and catch that jerk?

So what are you going to do now?

What do you mean,
what am I going to do?

I should increase
the declining birth rate of Korea.

Hey, is this the time to
be making jokes right now?

Look. I'm saying this out of concern.

How old did you say you are?

- I am...
- She's 24.

You're the same age as my daughter.

I'm saying this because
you're like my daughter...

but, at that age...

even if you have a child
after getting married, it's tough.

If you live like that
without getting married

then you won't have your own life
from now on.

Of course, a life is precious

and thinking of taking responsibility
is admirable and good.

But living as a single mother
in our country

is the exact same thing as
walking on a thorny path

while carrying the child.

Both the person walking

and the child being carried on
the person's back

will be covered in wounds
after they pass through.

Let's go.

Quickly.

Hey, Cherry.

It's because
I sympathize with it so much.

I grew up without a father too.

I see.

He died before I was born.

So it was probably a difficult decision
that my mom made.

But, I wasn't happy either.

Does your mom know too?

My mom...

probably thinks that
I'm staying in Thailand.

I went to Thailand after
fighting with her and leaving the house.

It's been a few years since I saw her.

You have a lot going on
in your life too.

Do you want to have a drink?

She's pregnant.

That's right.
It's because it's a habit of mine.

Master, please give me liquor
and something boiled.

I hardly ever see my mom either.

There are three people
whom I formally call 'Dad.'

There are a countless number of people
whom I call 'Mister.'

To be honest,
I'm not from Gyeongsangdo either.

What? Really?

No wonder. Your dialect was strange.

It's because as I followed my mom
and moved from place to place

all of the dialects got messed up
and jumbled together.

But as I went around

I found that the Daegu dialect was
the cutest and nicest for women to use.

So I practiced it a lot.

Where is your mother right now?

Who knows?

I'm sure she's living well
alongside a new man.

Then, if they break up,
she calls me sobbing again.

They say that a daughter will have
a fate that's similar to her mother's.

so I criticized my mom a lot in the past.

But now, I just think that was
one of her many skills.

If you add a little bit of
cooking wine when you cook

you can get rid of the any weird
or fishy smell from the ingredients

and enhance the taste.

How nice would it be if there was
a cooking wine like that for our lives?

Here.

But, why do you live like that
with your mother?

It's warm and tasty. Try this.

I'm telling you to eat up.

It smells.

Would you have given Dad a meal
like this if he were still alive?

Of course.

If I had made a meal like this sooner...

your dad wouldn't have
passed away like that.

He was someone who
didn't have a healthy liver.

But I didn't make him good food
because I didn't know a thing.

If you take after your dad,
you don't have a healthy liver either.

So don't say useless things
and just eat this diligently.

This has all of the five nutrients.

They're healthy foods that are seasoned
perfectly so that they're good for you.

How many times do I have to tell you
that I don't like it?

It's my birthday tomorrow,
so cook for me at home, Mom.

I made all of this.

I don't mean a meal like this.

I want to eat
potato ongshim seaweed soup.

You made that for me often
before you worked at the hospital.

That was when I wasn't busy.

Making potato ongshim seaweed soup
is a lot of work.

I don't have time to make that
in the morning.

I already told the nutritionist secretly

to put seaweed soup on the menu
since it's your birthday.

Am I a beggar?

If you were going to
pick up and eat this kind of food

why did you give birth to me?

This girl...

Yeah, I'm deeply regretting it too.

I didn't even give birth to
a virtuous girl.

Yet, I only lived for her...

Apparently, someone else's daughter...

prepared and served a meal to her mom
on her own birthday

saying that her mom went through
a lot of trouble giving birth to her.

You don't even move a single finger.

Jeez.

Why are you acting so mighty
when you didn't do anything at birth?

I never told you to give birth to me.

I didn't want to be born into
a household like this either.

Yeah.

In the future, give birth to a daughter
who's just like you too.

Don't worry.

I'm not going become a mom
who's like you either.

My child will be born into
a good household and enjoy everything.

[Happy birthday, my daughter.
Study hard.]

Yeah, all parents feel the same way.

I know.

But it would have been better
if she hadn't cooked it for me.

Why?

Hello.

- Ji Young, you're here.
- Yes.

It seems that the daughter was troubled
about what her mother said too.

She bought a bouquet of flowers
and visited her mom out of gratitude.

But, there she...

Thank you so much for everything, ma'am.

I haven't done anything.

This is what you were busy doing?

Ji Young.

Wait a minute.

Don't say things like
you lived only for me

or that you gave birth to a virtuous girl,
when you did something like this

because it's despicable.

It's not like that. Let's talk.

Fool.

You acted like you were so smart.

But it's a sick person again?

After that, whenever we fought

I told her to go to that man
and be good to him.

I also told her to go
and fix her life now.

I said a lot of harsh things
like that to her.

Then, as soon as I graduated high school

I left for Thailand,
saying that I would be a travel guide.

I understand how you feel.

I understand how my mom felt too now.

I told her that
I wouldn't live like her.

It's just that I can't go back
in this state.

Still, shouldn't your mom be by your side
when you give birth?

How are you going to do the postnatal care
and everything by yourself?

More importantly, are you really
going to give birth to the child?

This isn't a problem that
you should think hastily about.

You know better than anyone else.

To be honest, I came that day...

considering it to be the last time.

She said that was
her very own farewell ceremony.

Do you serve seaweed soup...

with potato ongshim in it?

She said she wanted to feed
potato ongshim seaweed soup

to the who was still in her womb,
for the first and last time.

She said she had morning sickness
for the first time right then.

I'm sorry.

She said it was then that
she felt the baby's existence at last.

Excuse me.

Would it be possible for you to
make me potato ongshim seaweed soup?

But, she just didn't have the confidence
to manage, so she came again.

She said that rather than
getting morning sickness

her stomach, which had been queasy
right up until then, actually got better.

She even said that it tasted good too.

I'm sorry.

I suddenly thought of my mom then.

I thought that my mom
must've been scared

and had a tough time just like me.

Also, just like me

this kid doesn't know
how its mom feels.

That's why I thought that
we're quite similar to each other.

That's why she nicknamed
her fetus, 'Ong Shim.'

- That's...
- It's so pretty.

It's so pretty.

I present to you potato ongshim
made for our Ong Shim.

- It's full of ongshim.
- There's a lot.

She said that it's a child
who was saved by ongshim.

Here.

Also, these are baby shoes.

- Those small shoes are so pretty, right?
- Yes, they are so pretty.

Thank you, Yoo Mi.

Hey, but isn't it a little harsh to
ask a person who isn't even married yet

to come to a baby shower?

To be honest, I haven't even done
something like this for my wife.

Would you have done anything
for your wife?

My gift is this.

Why the raw egg?

They say it symbolizes a safe delivery
because of its slipperiness.

I should be sure to eat this.

Thank you.

Then, I should eat this too.

Who knows?
Maybe mine will come out quickly too.

I'm so embarrassed.

Just don't eat the shell.

Please.

Why don't you have the ongshim...

What's wrong with her?

Are you having contractions?

- Contractions!
- Really?

What do we do?
Don't we have to go to the hospital?

Slowly and carefully.

Good, good. Hold onto her.

Take long breaths. That's right.

You're doing well.

That's right, slowly.
One, two. One, two.

- That's right.
- Wait a minute.

- Wait a minute.
- Where's the taxi?

- The taxi's outside of the alley.
- Okay, over there.

It's over there, right?

The taxi's over there.

- It's that one, right?
- Yeah.

- Okay, slowly. It's okay.
- Get the door.

You can do well.

Get in first. Get her in the car.
Slowly and carefully.

- It's usually like that.
- Don't worry now.

That's right.

Mister, she's a mother.

- Please go to the nearest hospital...
- No, no.

- No, not the nearest hospital...
- Yes.

- You're okay, right?
- Yes.

You did well.

The baby was so pretty.

Your meal is here.

The mother and daughter
met again like that...

In front of the hospital food...

and seaweed soup that
she hated so much.

I'm sorry.

Don't cry.

If a mother who gave birth cries,
her eyes will worsen.

Quickly, eat.

Quickly.

You see, for potato ongshim...

no matter how much you ball up
ground potato with all your might

it will never stick together.

After you wring out the water
completely once...

you have to mix it together with
the starch that settled to the bottom

to be able to pack the balls tightly.

Sometimes, might human relationships
need a starch powder like this too?

No.

Perhaps family members...

are beings who have something like that
melted in their blood already.

Let's go in.

Do you serve seaweed soup?
