(Episode 26)

If the four of us take a cab,

it could be cheaper than taking a bus.

It's 1 dollar and 30 cents each, so how much is it for 4?

- 4 dollars and 90 cents. - 5 dollars and 90 cents.

No, it's 5 dollars and 20 cents.

Will the cab fare be less than 5 dollars and 20 cents?

I don't know because I've never taken one before.

- Do you guys take the bus together? - Yes.

Summer is here!

- I'll start. - I think I should drive...

- because I know the place better. - Where?

What?

Goodness.

Why are you here?

There's nothing to see here.

Well...

Do you want some ramyeon?

(Yang Jae Pal)

Can't you call him dad?

You don't consider me your mom,

but he is your dad.

He adored you until the day he died.

(Culture and Sports Center, 1980)

(Athletes' Waiting Room)

He did it!

Yang Jae Pal won!

Jae Pal, Jae Pal!

You're okay, right?

You should've stayed home with the kid.

You must be tired. You should stop talking.

Let's go home.

I'll make you delicious doenjang stew.

You've been through so much, honey.

Here.

This is for you.

Honey.

I love you, honey.

My son, I love you so much.

Du Chil.

I'll protect you forever.

Both you and your mommy.

There.

Jae Pal, are you okay?

- Jae Pal! - Goodness.

Jae Pal!

Call 911! Hurry up!

- Jae Pal. - Du Chil.

Du Chil.

Jae Pal.

Jae Pal.

- I'm sorry. - Jae Pal.

Oh, no.

Jae Pal. Goodness.

Jae Pal.

(Yang Jae Pal versus Choi Dong Soo)

He was a champion.

But his son is...

busy going around and fighting.

I have nothing more to tell you, so you should leave.

Go.

For once in my life,

I want to be...

raised by a mom.

Start...

raising me now.

It tastes so sweet.

I better not drink,

so I can take you home.

No, drink with me.

No. I couldn't take you home yesterday because I drank.

Is that important?

Does a man have to take a woman home?

It's fun to walk the woman I like to her home.

Do I have to go home?

I might not.

Don't make me laugh. All you do is talk big.

Excuse me.

Listen, you're not dating a woman...

that's 3 or 4 years younger than you.

I look mature, so when I was in university,

all the guys...

treated me with respect.

And?

I never dated someone younger because they're boring.

- Boring? - They don't feel like men to me.

They don't feel like men. What else?

(Mom)

You're older than me,

but your mom is calling you when it's not even 9pm.

She's not calling me to make me rush home.

She's just worried because I'm too beautiful.

You must be a good daughter.

I used to be.

There was no reason to go against her words.

Are you planning not to listen to her from now on?

- Probably? - Why not?

She doesn't listen to me either.

What kind of excuse is that?

You're cute when you smile.

Don't treat me like a little boy.

What? You have me under your thumb when we're in the kitchen.

That goes for everyone.

I'm the chef.

Now that I think about it, you seem closer...

with the kitchen staff than me.

Are you jealous?

Yes. I'm jealous.

It would be awkward to be obvious.

Let's keep on dating in secret for now.

- In secret? - Yes.

- I don't want to. - We have to.

I mean...

It's more exciting to date in secret.

Exciting? No way.

I don't do such a thing.

I won't date in secret.

It's not like...

I'll let it disturb our work.

I just want to tell everyone and date.

Why should we do it in secret? Is it a crime?

I'm going to go home.

- Sit down. - My head is going to burst.

Let's date in secret then. Fine.

Are you smirking?

I'll be good to you in secret.

Here. Let's drink.

You shouldn't...

feel pressured to take me home.

I'm going to take you home.

I'm a stubborn person too.

I know.

Why do you want to hide me?

Don't get me wrong.

Even if for a moment, I want to have you all to myself...

without anyone knowing.

Okay?

I'll speak to the hospital's director.

Okay, Mr. Yong.

You're the best, sir.

I'll make sure to prepare for the 100 attendees.

Master Wang.

Did something good happen?

- Here. Drink this first. - Great.

It's nice.

I have something to tell you.

What is it?

- I... - Hey,

is this about everyone's monthly pay?

- What? - Don't worry.

I'll pay everyone...

before we hold the banquet.

I was going to pay them after the banquet.

I have something else to say.

Forget it. I'll be paying everyone for a while.

You should use that money elsewhere.

You have many places in the kitchen you need it for.

It's okay, I'll pay them.

- What I want to say... - One second.

Yes, Maeng Dal.

Are those people still protesting in the hotel?

Okay. I got it. Let's do that.

Okay.

(We're closed due to a group reservation.)

(Hungry Wok)

I'm sorry, but we'll have to work today...

without a break.

We need to make 100 servings of jajangmyeon and sweet and sour pork.

Have noodles, sauce, and the fried foods ready.

Standby.

- Yes, chef! - Yes, chef!

Bring the pineapples, cucumbers, carrots, onions, and mushrooms.

Yes, Cutting Part.

- Here you go. - Thank you.

- Bring the starch water. - Okay.

Stop. Just go get the eggs.

- I also need flour. - Yes, chef.

Chef Poong, you have a call.

It's the person who booked the banquet today.

Okay.

This is Chef Poong speaking.

I'm really sorry.

I know it's very late,

but we'll have to cancel the reservation.

Could I ask you why?

Will you be able to tell me?

The hospital's director...

just told me...

that we received a lot of donations from Giant Hotel.

He's telling me to just hold it at the hotel.

It's a decision made by the director,

so there's nothing I can do.

I'm really sorry.

- The director? - Yes.

He'll be attending the event as well.

I understand.

Please give us a chance to serve you next time.

What happened? Then...

Are they canceling the reservation?

Is it a no-show?

There are just two hours left.

Why are VIPs of a hotel...

so rude?

We prepared all day. It was expensive to buy.

What are we going to do?

Poong.

Can you make me 10 bowls of jajangmyeon...

and 5 large orders of sweet and sour porks?

I'm going to make a delivery to the hotel.

Are you going...

to fight with jajangmyeon and sweet and sour pork?

- It's nothing like that. - Don't do that.

It really isn't. I'm only going for a delivery.

You can't deliver there.

That's against my business ethics.

It would be wrong.

Business ethics?

The hotel made them cancel on us two hours before their reservation.

We prepared all the ingredients for 100 people,

but they made the hospital director cancel on us.

Would you call that being ethical? I don't think so.

Why do we need to be the ones playing nice?

Who are you going to deliver the food to?

They're really important customers of mine.

They refuse to meet me because I'm a gangster.

But I really need to...

meet them today.

All the bodyguards at the hotel will recognize you...

because of the recipe notebook incident.

I'll go with you.

I know the hotel better than anyone.

Everyone but you can go.

Everyone at the hotel knows who you are.

If you don't deliver them on time, the noodles will get soggy.

Don't worry.

I'll deliver it on time.

They're the hungriest people at the hotel right now.

They'll appreciate your jajangmyeon a lot more...

than the doctors who are getting ready to eat at Finishing Touch.

So please make the noodles as delicious as you can. Okay?

Okay.

Okay.

Okay.

Please enjoy.

Please enjoy.

Our jajangmyeon will taste better if you eat it with salmon.

- Okay. - Thank you.

Here's your meal.

Please enjoy.

Sir, thank you so much.

I like the meals you've prepared.

Thank you for the compliment.

Taeyang Hospital has been the VIP customer of our hotel.

Thousands of your employees have enjoyed our meals...

and stayed at our hotel. So I'm always honored.

We'll continue to treat you with care and sincerity.

But you're selling 70-dollar course meals for only 18 dollars today.

Isn't that a huge loss for you?

If it's for our VIP customers,

we can do anything regardless of how much it may cost.

Okay.

- Let's eat. - Okay.

(Pay us the overdue construction cost!)

(This hotel is killing small businesses!)

Take out the master key.

Let's go inside.

(Pay us the overdue construction cost!)

(Pay us the overdue construction cost!)

Who are you?

What's this?

I'd like to officially introduce myself.

I'm Du Chil Seong, the gangster who's been calling you non-stop.

- What? - What's going on?

(Pay us the overdue construction cost!)

I came to see you in person...

because you kept refusing to meet me.

You're a gangster?

Get out of here right now!

The hotel is full of gangsters, and now it's you.

I'm so sick of gangsters now.

What are you going to do to us this time?

What are you going to take from us? Get out of here right now!

- Get out! - Get lost!

- Get out of here! - Go away!

- Get out of here, you jerk. - Everyone, please pay attention.

I'm guessing you guys are really hungry.

That's why I brought you the world's most delicious...

jajangmyeon and sweet and sour pork.

Open up.

They smell good, don't they?

Here. Go ahead and eat.

Please eat.

- Here you go. - Here.

We are very well aware of what you're going through.

The jerks at the hotel aren't paying you the construction cost.

Then they hired gangsters to harass you.

You didn't even get to eat properly, so you must be starving.

That's why I brought you...

our country's most delicious jajangmyeon, sweet and sour pork,

and fried dumplings.

You should give them a try.

You're lying.

How can you deliver jajangmyeon to a hotel?

You guys work for the hotel, don't you?

Don't hesitate, and just give the food a try.

Take off the plastic wrap, mix the noodles with the sauce, and eat up.

Eat up. Go on.

Go ahead and eat.

Eat up.

Here you go.

The jajangmyeon you're eating was made by the main chef...

working at Hungry Wok, the Chinese restaurant right across the street.

What do you think? Does it taste okay?

I feel so sorry for the doctors.

The doctors who are eating at the hotel...

didn't even get to taste this delicious bowl of jajangmyeon.

Isn't it delicious?

Give them some drinks.

Everyone.

What's interesting about this sweet and sour pork...

is that it becomes more chewy as time goes by.

And because of that, you can slowly enjoy it...

along with some alcohol.

Isn't our main chef really good?

Eat up. Now, let's all...

raise our glasses.

There, there.

- Cheers. - Cheers.

My kids should also be able to...

eat this delicious bowl of jajangmyeon...

and sweet and sour pork whenever they want to.

Why won't they pay us the construction fee?

I heard you didn't get the construction fee...

for the banquet hall, lobby, and the main entrance.

Yes. The payment date is coming up.

If they still don't pay us, we're going to protest in the lobby.

I'm going to make an embarrassment of this nasty hotel.

Sir.

Why don't you sell your demonstration rights to me?

I'm talking about the lien.

I'll buy that from you.

I'll pay you the construction fee.

In return, you can give me the lien.

Gangsters like us should be the ones...

dealing with those nasty guys working at the hotel.

Let me pour you a glass.

Let's drink.

What do you think of the jajangmyeon?

It's very luxurious. It's not like ordinary jajangmyeon.

A bowl of jajangmyeon should always keep its essence.

You're eating at a hotel, so the jajangmyeon should taste different.

Please continue to enjoy our meals at the hotel.

You guys should go home early today.

Thank you for your hard work.

Where are you going?

Let's go home together.

It's sad that our reservation got canceled, but we got...

our paychecks today.

- Gosh, that was nice. - It was good.

Hello, ma'am.

I'll go now.

May I ask where the director of the hospital is?

Why do you want to meet him?

Are you here to complain?

No, of course not.

It's the man who's coming out right now.

Sir, where should we go next?

- We should go drink. - Right?

Good.

Hello, sir.

I'm Seo Poong, the main chef of Hungry Wok,

the restaurant you had originally planned to eat at tonight.

What brings you here?

Did you enjoy your dinner?

Yes, I had a very delicious and filling meal.

If you don't mind,

I'd like to invite you for a drink at my restaurant.

Gosh, they really cleared out every single dish.

Poong...

would like this a lot.

He likes empty bowls.

Yes.

Even though we can barely pay rent,

we should let loose and have fun.

Pick whatever you want.

Since I got paid the most today,

I'll buy.

I can't let you do that.

This is pretty.

You can be happy buying a small thing like this with your paycheck.

- Mom, try this. - What?

It's pretty.

Try this one.

This is pretty too.

You used to wear pretty makeup like this.

- Do I look good? - Yes.

Try this, Seol Ja.

- Do I look pretty? - Yes, Seol Ja.

I'm full because I ate so much at Finishing Touch.

I'm not sure if I can eat this.

I thought so.

So I made a simple finger food...

with jajangmyeon and sweet and sour pork.

Try the French aperitifs in Chinese style.

It'll go very well with the Kaoliang cocktail too.

Thank you.

Goodbye.

(100 dollars)

You didn't go home yet?

In case you were upset about the banquet cancellation,

I came here to console you in secret.

I brought you beer...

this late at night in secret.

You sound like you've been in many secretive relationships.

What's up with your face?

Did you put on makeup?

It's nothing.

Are you okay?

Yes.

Whether you're rich or poor, you can taste food just the same.

Tomorrow...

there will be a response.

Right. So...

Ta-da!

You shouldn't have come.

Why?

I'm not confident about dating in secret.

We still have to try.

I'm really not confident.

You have to.

Let's do it.

We'll date in secret, okay?

I don't date in secret.

If you don't, I'll kill you.

(Wok of Love)

I just came from the airport.

I think O Jik is back.

I'm sorry, but I need to go out for a minute.

You touched something you shouldn't have touched.

Why did you want to see me?

Please tell me...

her name.
