Hello!

Hello.

My gosh, Mr. Kang is here too.

Welcome.

Is it just the two of you today?

Mr. Nam will be here in a bit.

- Yes. Hey, let's go in. - Okay.

All right.

Hello, Mr. Kang.

- Would you like to order some food? - Gyu Jang will be here shortly...

- Yes. - Oh, there he is.

Let me introduce this lady to you all. She is...

You two have already met, right?

Hey.

Hey, Gyu Jang. Let's have a quick talk.

It's been a while, Jin Sung.

I haven't seen you since we broke up three years ago.

"Chef Park Jin Sung is not gay."

"He and my friend dated for a year."

"I saw everything, from how they met..."

"to how they broke up."

"I can't believe he's attracted to men now."

"Park Jin Sung is gay? No way."

It's actually quite detailed.

I only read parts of it, but...

Gyu Jang, let's talk outside.

We should talk outside.

Why?

I can't let this slide now that I know the truth.

As the program's director, I must do my due diligence.

But...

There was no need to bring Soo Ae with you.

Oh, that.

I just thought this matter had to be dealt with.

Chef Park.

You need to explain...

what on earth...

is going on.

Sure.

Soo Ae's my ex-girlfriend.

So what?

What?

How can a gay man date a woman...

We dated...

before I realized my sexual orientation.

It's not something...

you know the moment you're born.

I...

was greatly confused back then.

You were confused for a year?

Director Nam, please stop.

This isn't what we agreed upon.

I think it's best if I just leave.

I'm sorry for putting you in this situation.

I know that wasn't ideal but...

I'm leaving.

Was this necessary?

Mr. Nam,

what exactly are you trying to prove?

Like I said earlier,

- as the director... - Mr. Nam, we need to talk.

- Sure, we should head outside... - No, just me and Mr. Nam.

But...

You just crossed the line...

by bringing over his ex-girlfriend from three years ago.

Didn't you hear what I said?

I'm only doing my job as the program's director.

I don't understand why you're being this way.

What's the meaning of this?

Okay, fine. I'll just say it.

I'm too suspicious of you.

- What do you mean by that? - Well,

you managed to find a gay chef overnight...

and everything's been going well without a hitch.

It all seems too easy if you ask me.

Are you implying...

that I ordered Chef Park to lie about being gay?

Even though Mr. Nam...

is the director of this show,

I agree he crossed the line.

I'd appreciate it if you considered it...

as him displaying his sense of responsibility.

He still shouldn't have accused you of anything,

so let me apologize on his behalf.

It's not you who should be apologizing.

Shouldn't someone see what's going on?

Right, I guess.

- I'll go. - No, it's all right.

Let me go instead. You two should stay here.

You're a regular here and friends with the chef.

I don't think my theory is that far-fetched.

Mr. Nam, you're accusing me of deception.

If that were true, I'd have no right...

getting credit for this show as a director.

Is that really what you think?

No, of course not.

That may be what he's saying,

but I doubt that's what he thinks.

Gyu Jang, that's enough. You're way out of line.

How can that be when I'm only laying out the facts?

Well, it's not true.

That isn't the case,

so don't come after Chef Park like that again.

No one wants to have their ex sprung upon them like this.

Especially if you took a leap of faith...

by coming out on national TV.

Must you put it that way?

It's true that they dated.

I didn't make that up.

That look on his ex-girlfriend's face...

proves just how low this move was.

A low move, you say?

And what exactly did I do wrong?

Tell me!

Hey!

Are you going to keep yelling when I'm here watching?

I told you both to stop.

You've said enough.

Gyu Jang, you're coming with me.

A Jin, stay behind and clean up.

Darn it.

Aren't you coming?

Darn!

The guys left.

I'm sorry.

I'm sorry, Mr. Kang.

What beef does Mr. Nam have with Jin Sung?

It's because of me, actually.

Even though I'm younger than him, he has to share the credit with me.

He came after Jin Sung to get to me.

No, it's because of me.

And I'm sorry,

A Jin.

None of this is your fault.

So...

why don't we grab a few drinks?

I'm sorry,

but I'd rather you two just leave.

I...

I want to be alone, that's all.

Are you sure you acted out of pure innocence?

(Episode 8)

Did you truly act this way for the sake of the show?

What else would it be?

What other reason would I have?

Anyone would agree...

that you barged in there looking for...

some dirty secret.

That's only what you think.

Then why didn't you run it by A Jin first...

or ask Chef Park to verify certain facts?

There was no reason to cause a scene like that.

Your action today...

was no better than a shot to the head.

Excuse me, can I get another?

I just had an odd feeling about it.

He's definitely hiding something.

- A stew and... - Sure.

Being alone with you like this...

feels a little...

Is it awkward?

Of course not.

Right? We even shared a plate of tteokbokki before.

That's right.

Tripe reminds me of...

Chef Park.

Yes, the dish made quite the impact.

Maybe we should've encouraged him to drink with us today.

Right.

You're right.

It's bothering me too.

So I was wondering.

Is Chef Park...

seeing anyone?

What?

I saw something when I went by your house the other day.

Someone...

wearing his clothes was walking up the stairs.

It's his boyfriend, isn't it?

I think you're talking about his younger brother.

They live together, you see.

Wasn't he way younger?

I remember there being quite an age gap.

I think he's 24 years old.

You know Jin Sung's brother well too?

Yes, he's been at my place with Jin Sung a few times.

Jin Sung's brother has been at your place too?

You must be really close to Jin Sung.

You've been there too.

Well...

That's right.

Am I being too sensitive today?

Have you ever...

dated a woman?

I have.

You did?

Before I admitted my preference,

I tried doing...

what others do.

It's been a while, Jin Sung.

I haven't seen you since we broke up three years ago.

So that's the kind of girl he dated.

I should just sleep.

Gosh.

Mr. Nam, about what happened yesterday...

Forget it.

I want you to apologize to Chef Park properly.

- What? - No matter what your intention was,

what you did to him yesterday was rude.

Didn't I say this yesterday?

I did it out of my sense of duty as the show's director,

and I'd make...

the same choice over and over again if I had to, okay?

Still, it was the wrong approach.

You should have checked with Chef Park first.

Cut it out.

Move.

Move, seriously.

We met yesterday, right?

Yes.

Jin Sung stepped out for a minute.

Oh, okay.

By the way,

how do you know Jin Sung?

I'm sorry. I haven't introduced myself.

I'm the director of "Sweet Munchies", Kim A Jin.

"Sweet Munchies"?

Yes.

My colleague...

I mean, Mr. Nam put you through so much trouble yesterday.

I apologize.

You don't have to apologize.

I have to admit, I was pretty surprised.

I only showed up because Mr. Nam told me Jin Sung wanted to see me.

What are you doing here at this hour?

Well...

It's a restaurant. Of course, I came to eat.

Okay.

Just a second.

Give me your hand.

Gosh.

It's not that bad.

You're making me feel bad.

Thanks.

Take this home.

Make sure it doesn't leave a scar.

Ms. Kim, have a seat here.

Okay.

Excuse me.

Jin Sung.

I'm craving your pork cutlet.

- What? - Can you make it for me?

I'm craving it so badly.

All right, I'll make it for you.

It's my lucky day.

What about you?

What?

What should I make for you?

Well, I...

Have you ever tried his pork cutlet?

No, I haven't.

He is a pork cutlet sauce master. It's the best.

Then please make some pork cutlet for me too.

Sure.

Give me just a minute.

Do you come here often?

Me? Yes, I live close by.

Dig in.

Thanks.

It's delicious.

Thanks.

When we were together,

I had no idea what you were going through.

Well...

Soo Ae.

I'm doing well.

You don't have to worry.

Okay.

Mr. Nam got in touch with me and said...

you really wanted to see me.

He asked me if I'd be interested in meeting you.

When I heard that,

I started missing you a lot.

Eat up.

Eat.

That sounds fun.

Right?

Mr. Lee, do you remember "Here Comes Lee Young Gyu"?

Of course. That's what inspired me to do a retro show.

Actually, that show made me dream of...

becoming a variety show writer.

- Really? - Yes.

The thing is...

I like touching variety shows like this.

That's why I was a huge fan of your show, "The Umbrella Girl".

Right.

When the Umbrella Girl, who doesn't cry easily,

- What's going on? - breaks into tears,

- Why is she so pretty when smiling? - everyone in the studio...

Can I come by and see you again?

Of course.

I'll be off, then.

- Get home safely. - Will do.

Did you stop by...

to see me?

I see that I didn't need to worry.

I overreacted.

I thought you'd be totally downcast.

I should just mind my own business.

Hey, you're leaving?

I guess you still care about her a lot.

- What do you mean? - Your face earlier.

Had anyone seen you, they would've thought she was seriously injured.

Hey.

What's with her?

Gosh, she didn't even finish her pork cutlet.

There are various topics we could discuss.

- Don't you agree? - That's right.

Touching stories and...

He's cool.

Oh, Ms. Yoo. I have to go back to my office for a moment.

- I'll be right back. - Sure.

- Hi. - What? Hey.

My gosh, you came out of nowhere.

Sang Young is cool, isn't he?

I'm a guy, and even I think he's cool.

Yes, he's cool. He's tall and handsome.

And today, I learned that he's got some great ideas.

- Also, he's very straightforward. - Right.

What's going on? What's with that face?

Are you jealous?

"Jealous"? Me?

Of course not.

I've never felt such emotion in my entire life.

- I see. I'm relieved to hear that. - Sure.

Oh, there he is.

- Where are you guys going? - To grab a bite to eat.

Enjoy your dinner, honey.

- Okay. - Let's go, Ms. Yoo.

- Okay. - All right. Hey, take it easy.

What would be good?

What should we get?

- Assorted pancakes! - Assorted pancakes?

My gosh, we're totally on the same wavelength.

- Assorted pancakes are the best. - That's right.

We'll get assorted pancakes and some makgeolli as well.

- Sure. - Thank you.

That's right.

Sitting at the desk doesn't help you come up with creative ideas.

To reach the boiling point,

a little bit of alcohol is a must.

We share the same philosophy even on that front.

My gosh, I'm so excited about this show we're planning.

Me too!

My goodness.

Here.

Oh, I need to use the restroom.

All right.

Hello?

- Enjoy. - Thank you.

Hey, Jae Soo. What are you doing here?

I came in because I saw you while walking by.

Are you here alone?

No, with Ms. Yoo. Did you have dinner?

No.

Really? Do you want to join us if you have some time now?

I was just walking by, but shall I join you since you're asking me to?

Yes, please do.

- Hey, Jae Soo is here. - Yes, I see that.

This is great.

I felt bad because I actually have to go somewhere now.

What?

Where do you have to go?

Oh, to see Director Kim A Jin. She needs me urgently.

Really?

Well, then you should go.

I'm really sorry, Mr. Lee.

Mr. No, please take good care of Mr. Lee.

Pass me my purse.

- I'm sorry again. - No worries. I hope all goes well.

- Thank you. - See you.

Gosh, we were having a great time.

My goodness, you're so lucky. You get to eat all this.

Hey, let's eat. Eat up.

All right.

Hey, you're here.

What's going on? Did something happen between you and Chef Park?

No, nothing happened.

You eat spicy baby octopus when you're upset or angry.

That's right.

This is so...

Cheers!

Gosh.

Sung Eun.

Are you keeping any secrets from me?

What?

I mean, we don't have any secrets, you know.

You see,

I know we met while working together,

but I think of you as a sister. I'm very fond of you.

And that's why...

I didn't want to keep any secrets from you, but...

A Jin.

I couldn't tell you...

because I had a bit of a situation...

Same here.

I can't...

quite define these emotions that I'm feeling.

I don't know...

why I told Jin Sung to hide in the bathroom that day.

You wouldn't have suspected anything even if you had seen...

the two of us hanging out together at my place.

You know, I barely got any sleep last night.

After seeing Jin Sung's ex-girlfriend,

I just couldn't fall asleep.

I kept thinking,

"That's who Jin Sung dated."

I'm a woman, but even I thought she was so pretty. Unlike me.

Hey, you're pretty too.

You're the prettiest girl.

Gosh.

(Dodo's Strange Adventure)

Sung Eun.

When I'm with Jin Sung,

it always slips my mind.

What?

The fact that he's gay.

(A Jin)

Hey, about earlier...

You're not mad at me, right?

(You're not mad at me, right?)

Can we get another bottle of soju?

Sure!

Do you know what the most dangerous trap is?

Getting the wrong ideas.

Being tricked by your emotion like that is the scariest thing.

Because Chef Park shows up and helps you...

whenever you're in trouble or in distress,

you've developed this dependency on him,

professionally and emotionally.

Well, then what do I do?

What do you think?

Get out of the trap.

Just count on me.

(Delicious-looking Potatoes)

(I should have given it to you earlier.)

I should have given it to you earlier.

Sorry for not setting up a dressing room for you...

when you're a fashion model.

It is from dad.

Jin Sung. I am hungry.

Okay.

It must have been heavy.

Potatoes...

What should I make with potatoes?

Give me a potato peeler.

I am helping you only because I am hungry.

All right.

Here.

Jin Sung.

This reminds us of our childhood, right?

For me,

this always reminds me of...

Mom.

Do it right!

I can't do it well.

You should do it like this.

Be careful.

Make it upright.

Okay, you all come here to taste it.

Okay!

- It's hot! - Use chopsticks.

Be careful. It is hot.

Is it delicious?

It's really good.

Is it that good?

Give Mom a bite.

Eat up.

Eat all you want.

Jin Woo.

I am sorry...

for not telling you in advance.

After knowing why you did it,

I couldn't just criticize you for it.

I'm sure you had no other choice.

Thank you for understanding me.

Jin Sung, I am starving.

Okay, let me quickly cook something for you.

You look rather good when cooking.

Do I look cool?

I mean it is not bad.

Thank you!

Okay, this is it!

They look delicious, right?

Let me...

taste it.

It's so good!

Is he your brother?

Yes, this is my brother, Jin Woo.

Hello.

Nice to meet you.

- You too! - We have met before, right?

Have we?

Have you guys met before?

Hey, you're crushing his hands.

- Did you eat something? - No, I am about to.

Sit down, then.

- Have a seat, please. - Yes.

How about having our concept for next season...

as a "genderless look"?

"Genderless look"?

Yes, Chef Park's fashion style in "Sweet Munchies" is...

already a hot issue,

and at the center of it is Mr. Kang.

That sounds great to me.

What about you?

(Kang Min Soo or Kang Tae Wan would be the perfect match for A Jin.)

Ms. Yoo?

Are you guys dating someone?

- What? - Pardon?

Are you guys in a relationship?

- No, I'm not. - I'm not.

How about a get-together with "Changing You" team after this?

It should end at...

I have an appointment.

I am free.

It sounds...

good.

How did I not recognize him all these times?

Director Kang should be a decent match for her.

He's the ace at CK Channel. He has a nice personality.

He's doing well at work. He's not dating anyone either.

- He's also good-looking. - Who is good-looking?

You startled me.

Are you watching me or something?

How did you just pop out of nowhere?

So who is good-looking?

Director Kang Min Soo.

(High School)

Are you a femme fatal?

Am I one of your options?

Are you insane?

Why would I think about another guy when I have you.

It's not like that.

Don't you think he would be a good match for A Jin?

Who?

Kang Min Soo.

- I think so. - Right?

Come on in.

Hello.

What's that?

Well...

It's for Jin Sung.

What do you think?

It's definitely going to be his signature outfit.

I'm not so sure about that.

- Just a second. - Sure.

You look good in everything.

- I'll be right back. - Okay.

Yes. At Bistro?

Can't we meet somewhere else?

Mr. Kang insists on that place.

All right. What time are we meeting?

Okay.

Can someone answer the phone?

CK Variety Show Team 1.

This is journalist Han Chang Min of K Daily.

I'd like to interview Director Kim A Jin...

about "Sweet Munchies". Could I speak to her?

You want to interview Director Kim A Jin?

I'm sorry, but she's stepped out for a minute.

If you give me your phone number, I'll tell her to call you.

Yes.

It's 010...

Mr. Han Chang Min, right?

Jin Sung, you must be really close to Kang Tae Wan.

I doubt that he fell in love with me at first sight or anything.

I think he was nice to me because of you.

- Are you so happy? - Yes.

I couldn't ask for more.

I've talked to Kang Tae Wan alone...

and even been to his studio.

Hello, Mr. Kang. Welcome.

Hello.

I can't wait to find out what you'll make for me tonight.

Okay. Sit wherever you want.

Hey.

- Hey. - Hello.

Hi.

- Where's Ms. Yoo? - She'll be here soon.

Chef Park, hello.

Your brother is here too.

I'm sorry I'm late.

They asked me to revise my script again. I'm so tired of it.

I never did that.

Mr. Kang, why don't we have some wine?

- Wine? - Yes.

I'm craving some wine right now.

- What do you say? - That sounds great.

Oh, I'm fine.

I'm really sorry,

but I actually have some scripts to revise urgently.

I have to get going.

- You're leaving? - Yes, I'm sorry.

Mr. Kang, I'm so sorry.

No, don't worry. I don't mind drinking with A Jin alone.

Right?

- Is that okay? - Yes.

Chef Park.

Please pay special attention to those two.

They're on a date.

Guys, I'll get going now.

Have fun.

- Sung Eun. - I'll call you.

- See you. - See you.

Here's your food.

Look at that. Oil fondue?

That looks delicious.

Let me explain how it works.

- With these skewers... - I know.

Don't worry about us.

With this...

- Look at that. - There you go.

You seem to know a lot about wine and food.

I directed a food show for years, remember?

I'm sure you're a good cook too.

I'm not bad.

But I'm not that good either.

I can cook for you sometime. What do you like?

Well, I like all kinds of food.

You like all kinds of food?

Okay.

Try it.

Thank you.

Come to think of it, this is the first time...

we've had a drink just the two of us.

- Is this awkward for you? - No, I think it's nice.

You've always been kind to me.

Let's eat.

What is Jin Sung like as a brother?

He always says, "I'm okay."

He keeps his problems to himself...

and tries to solve everything by himself.

He can be pretty stubborn in that sense.

And I sometimes hate that about him.

That sounds tough.

Yes.

Also, all he cares about is cooking.

So I have to ask.

Can you continue to be on my brother's side...

no matter what happens?

What do you mean by that?

What?

Well, nothing.

Jin Sung, I'll get going.

Jin Sung.

What?

Snap out of it.

Get going.

See you.

- Is he Chef Park's brother? - Yes.

Are you saving that for tomorrow?

- What? - You have food on your face.

Oh, where?

Where?

- Let me... - Wait.

Hold on!

Gosh, you're so clumsy.

With you two here at Bistro,

I want to make sure that you have a great time.

I prepared some complimentary food for you.

Just a moment, please.

Complimentary food?

Complimentary food.

I'm already full.

Here's stir-fried baby octopus...

Oh, you're out of wine.

- Just a second, please. - Chef Park.

Can we have another bottle of this?

Well, too bad.

We've run out of wine.

I see some over there.

Oh, those are for display only. You can't drink them.

I see.

Just a moment, please.

- They're for display only. - I see.

Goodness.

I guess restaurants do that.

- I had no idea either. - Right.

Soju and beer are the best for stir-fried baby octopus.

I'll make you a soju bomb.

Sure. Are you okay with soju?

Yes, totally. Are you okay with it?

Yes, I love soju.

Hey, easy.

All right. Take one each.

Here's to the success of "Sweet Munchies". Cheers!

- Cheers. - Cheers.

The foam is...

The foam.

Oh, try this.

- Okay. - Thanks.

Gosh, the baby octopus is so fresh.

- Here. - All right.

It's good.

Director Kim.

Yes? What?

I need to have a word with you later.

- About work. - I see.

It's about work stuff.

Okay, sure.

Gosh, it's getting late.

I should close up soon.

- Wait, let's clink our glasses. - Oh, right.

Then shall we call it a night?

Well, sure.

- Would you like to settle up? - Yes. Then...

I'll settle the bill.

- Would you like your receipt? - Yes.

Here. Thank you.

- Thank you. - You're welcome.

- Get home safely. - Bye.

- Bye, see you tomorrow. - All right.

Get home safely.

Be careful.

Good night. Bye.

What did you want to talk about?

Hey, A Jin.

Do you like that guy?

What?

Don't make it so obvious.

If you do that, the guy will lose interest.

What are you talking about? When did I do anything like that?

Do you like him just because he's nice to you?

You kept giggling like that.

Don't you know that it only makes you look like a fool?

Are you done?

You need to be careful.

I'm telling you this out of concern.

- Hey, Park Jin Sung. - What?

Let's say I actually behaved like that around him.

Why is that any of your business?

Why do you care who I'm smiling at and who I like?

Do I need your permission for such things? Why?

Well, what I meant was...

I'm leaving.

I don't want to talk to you.

Hey, A Jin. Wait.

Gosh, that came out so wrong. Darn it.

I must be losing my mind.

I'm even seeing things now.

Did you see that just now?

How could you forget that?

- What? - My goodness, come on.

- Tell me. - Tell you what?

How did it go yesterday?

It was fun.

- Really? - Yes.

But not in the way that you're thinking.

I had fun, but that's about it.

The drinks were good, and so was the food.

But you know, I'm not attracted to him at all.

I've known him for years.

It's common for women to date their longtime male friends...

and end up marrying them.

You see it all the time.

Gosh, you're talking as if you're a dating expert or something.

You've been single for a few years.

- What? - How many years has it been?

Oh, it's him.

- You mean, Min Soo? - Hello?

- Is it Min Soo? - Yes.

Yes. Now?

Now?

Makgeolli?

Oh, okay. Sure.

- My gosh. - No, it was Nam Gyu Jang.

It was Nam Gyu Jang?

He wants to drink in broad daylight?

What's with him?

- Here, let me pour you one. - Thank you.

- Oh, let me pour you one. - Gosh, relax.

Just relax.

By the way, what's going on?

Oh, well...

You know, we're co-directing the show,

so we should've done this sooner.

It's okay.

Well, about what I did to Chef Park...

I'm sorry.

Forgive me, A Jin.

My gosh.

Let's do a really good job with "Sweet Munchies".

You manage all the internal stuff.

I'll take care of the rest.

Both Chef Park and the writer seem to get along better with you.

Okay.

But I'm just curious. Have you received any phone calls?

From who?

Well, for things like interview requests.

No, I haven't.

Oh, is that right?

Then I guess they only contacted me.

Well, I don't think both of us need to be in the interview.

I'll do it. I'll just take care of it,

so don't worry about it.

Okay.

- Drink up. - Okay.

- Thanks. - Here you go.

What...

Our show is only going to do better.

Drink up!

- A Jin? - Jin Sung!

Where did you get drunk like this?

I want another drink.

I want another!

No, you're too drunk.

Is that so? Then I'll go elsewhere.

Gosh.

Cheers. Hey, come on.

I'm sorry.

I was out of line yesterday.

It's like you said.

I shouldn't tell you who you can or can't date.

I don't know what came over me.

You must hate me.

I apologized, didn't I? Besides, why would I hate you?

Well,

you're not interested in women.

Does that mean...

I hate you?

Well, you're wrong.

I like you.

As a friend, no doubt.

But you see, my heart...

has been screaming these days.

Because of you,

I've been losing it.

But I didn't do anything.

You?

Right, you didn't do anything.

I've been imagining things,

complicating things,

and I've been jealous...

all on my own.

You're jealous?

Yes, I'm jealous.

For some reason,

I've been thinking this lately.

"What if..."

"you didn't..."

"like men?"

"Then..."

"could you have liked me instead?"

If only I weren't complicating things...

and my feelings for you weren't one-sided...

Maybe you also...

A Jin.

I know. I know I'm being stupid right now.

But...

(Sweet Munchies)

I must've blacked out from drinking too much.

Darn it! Are you sure I didn't do anything stupid?

You didn't.

Jin Sung isn't gay?

A Jin?

- Hi, Chef Park. - Right.

It's not like I'm not asking for much.

This is my life...

and I want to be in love.

So it's true that he dated a woman.

Yes, I guess.

Mr. Nam, what's with all these articles?

It's all over...

You really want to tell the whole world you're gay?

Get out if you don't want to eat.

- Let go of me! - Hey!
