Who are you?

What do you mean to me? Why do I feel twisted?

Why do my eyes hurt with a headache because of you?

Just go.

Go! Aren't you going?

Hey Bong-Gi!

Stay still for a while.

I have a headache.

I think I had too much to drink.

Mr. Chang?

Mr. Chang!

Chang Joon-Won.

What's wrong with you?

What are you going to do, man?

What's this?

Wake up!

If I ever drink with you again, I'm Bong-Hee's little sister!

We're home!

Hi.

What took you so long, Bong-Soon?

The Young-Shik was waiting for you.

He came during dinnertime and stayed until now because he wanted to see you.

Huh? Dinnertime?

What's all this?

Huh? From the President!

We didn't do anything special.

Look!!

He personally signed this.

See? President Chang Min-Ho.

Bong-Gi, why don't we get this mounted in a frame and...

... pass it down for generations as a Nam family treasure?

I'll pass it unto you.

You can pass it unto your son, and to his son.

That makes it a treasure and lotto, ain't that right?

Do you think your father's a lizard or something?

How dare you walk out when your father's still speaking!

Are you drunk?

Some manner you have!

Hey Bong-Soon.

I heard the President said you're like a daughter to him...

... and wanted you to feel the same way too.

Have you two gone mad because of the hot weather?

Bong-Soon!

Bong-Gi!

Did you two fight or what?

Those brats dissed me!

I'm sure you have days you don't feel like talking.

Leave them alone.

Stop it! Why are you opening that?

What do you mean, why? Let's have a drink.

Are you crazy? Drink something else! This is too valuable.

Give it back.

I'm going to save it until we get a guest of honor!

A guest of honor? In this house? Who?

Why do you care? It's none of your business.

(The mobile unit you are calling is turned off...)

It's honeyed water.

You think I spat in it or something?

You should've stopped before you got wasted!

Thanks to you, he got the wrong idea.

I think Mr. Chang thought something weird is going on...

... between us after seeing us yesterday.

He just left, and turned his cell phone off.

Something weird is going on?

Yeah, it's weird.

But guess what?

The guy who thinks something weird is going on between us is just as weird.

Why did he just leave like that?

Why did he turn his cell phone off?

What the... You swallowed it?

Lee Han-Sook.

Lee Han-Sook.

I secretly asked all the police stations in the nation to cooperate.

I'm sure you'll hear from her soon.

It's tough when her cell phone's always off...

... but we can track her down as soon as she turns her phone on.

It'll take a few days at the most.

Just take it easy, and wait.

Still, tell me her address and cell phone number.

I should know that, too.

Come to my office during work hours.

If I'm not there, look for Guard Kim Ju-Yup.

Okay.

Bye the way, did you have anything else about my mom?

Oh, just minor things...

What minor things?

She changes her residence very often, and she currently works as a TV extra.

She has two more daughters.

They're twenty and sixteen years old.

For some reason, your twenty-year-old sister is registered as a high school senior.

Sisters?

We might need to run away today.

Pack your valuables ahead of time.

If we lose each other, let's meet at that sauna again, okay?

What are we? Locusts? We're always on the run.

Running while trifling, running while sleeping.

Running while pooping.

You've ran while you were pooping?

This is exam week for me. I can't go!

No, I'm not going.

Exam week, again?

How many exams does that school give my daughter? They gonna kill you!

I have a gut feeling. I think something big is gonna happen this time.

I can't stand moving around anymore.

I'd rather go to an orphanage.

What? Go where?

Or you can go to prison.

You swindled someone else's money and can't pay back.

I'm sure that's better than having those gangsters beat you to death.

What? Go to prison?

Don't talk to your mother that way!

You wretch!

After all that I went thorough for you...

How can you say that without even batting an eyebrow?

You know how your mother lived!

Fine! Your mother will get beaten to death by those gangsters!

I hope you do well on your exams!

Hey, are you sure those guys were hitmen?

They didn't look like mobs, did they?

If they're not mobsters, why would they come find me in the Seoul suburbs?

Besides, there are plenty of cleaners these days that look sharp.

He said they were bodyguards.

What? Bodyguards?

Of course that's what they'll say.

No one's gonna say he's a hitman.

Take a look at their business cards.

They're all called supervisors or directors.

You may come inside.

Oh yeah, can you give me Ms. Han-Sook Lee's address and cell phone number?

Oh, I heard from Director Lee.

Here you go.

It just came in, Chef.

We're not cooking anything with eggs today!

Let's change to Plan B!

Get me new ingredients.

This doesn't look that bad...

Switch to a different farm!

Huh?

I said, don't buy from them anymore!

But we've been doing business with them for over two years.

How can you drop them over something minor like...

Something minor?

Are you out of your mind?

I wouldn't mind cooking with these if I was cooking for myself!

But we're preparing food for the chief of this state!

We're responsible for the President's health and life!

Nothing is minor for us!

Drop them! immediately!

Yes, Sir.

That's enough.

My face looks too dark.

Should I part my hair the other way?

That won't change anything.

How's the shop?

No one goes to the barber these days.

No matter how little I charge them...

no matter if I tell them I'm the President's exclusive barber, I don't get customers.

I guess the President's not as powerful as he used to be.

Keep complaining.

I thought he was a gentleman.

But he can be scary sometimes.

Of course, not everyone can be the Presidential Residence Chef.

Right.

Why didn't you come to the swimming pool today?

Just because.

You gave up on him?

I hope it's that easy.

Someone introduced a girl to him.

A girl? Who?

I don't know.

I'm dying to know who she is, what she does, and how old she is.

What if he really likes her?

What do you mean, what if? You have to face reality.

Wake up, and smell the coffee!

Just go on a marriage meeting.

No way.

Do you think I can pay attention to other men.... Ok-Hee, look!

Honey!

That undertaker!

That miserable wretch! Oh, my gosh! He's driving me crazy!

Why can't he just let me be? Oh, why?

I'm sure you'll be seeing more of him, now that you're at the Residence.

I guess having to see someone you don't want to see is just as bad as...

... not being able to see someone you miss.

What will you do?

I've been looking all over for you. You weren't in the kitchen.

Why?

Why in the world were you looking for me?

Honey!

Do you want the good news, or the bad news first?

The bad news! Let's hear the bad news first!

I put the shop in the market.

You're selling the shop? When? Good job!

If you get a buyer, I can have my alimony, right?

We'll see if I get a buyer or not.

What's the good news?

I got a job at the Blue House barber shop!

I can see you everyday!

What?

Where?

The Blue House barber shop?

Right!

You can say the key to Kujeolpan is in wheat cakes.

Why do you think your wheat cakes lost to mine?

Uh...

When you cook with rice flour, you need to add more water than...

... when you're cooking just with flour.

And my grandma told me to wipe the oil thoroughly...

... when making millet flat cakes or wheat cakes.

Other wise, they'll be uneven and wouldn't taste as good.

Miss Bong-Soon, give it a try.

Who? Me?

Go ahead.

Go ahead!

Do we have a brass spoon?

Flat cakes are easier to make with brass spoon.

Do we have a brass spoon?

Yes!

The press is talking as though FTA is the shortcut to a leading economy.

What's the basis for that?

Global economy is an irrefutable trend.

Everyone agrees with that.

If that's the case, mind as well as be ahead of others in giving and taking.

Don't you feel threatened by China?

We must get a prior hold of the market.

What's on the menu today?

Today's menu is Kujeolpan, farm fish, steamed Kalbi, and fresh ginseng salad.

The main courses are sesame noodles and cucumber kimchi.

And Deuljuk wine to go with your meal.

Very good.

No wonder the great writer Pearl Buck marveled at its beauty.

Pearl Buck ate Kujeolpan?

I heard she tried them when she visited Korea, and spoke highly of it.

Am I right?

That's what I heard.

It even has a great meaning behind it.

It has a meaning?

You know how the number 9 means abundance in Asia, right?

You eat Kujeolpan by wrapping the eight different foods in wheat cakes.

It symbolizes harmony among people of different minds.

The different foods join together in the wheat cakes to make an excellent taste.

That's why it's a tradition to serve Kujeolpan when politicians dine together.

So that's why you're feeding us Kujeolpan today!

Are you telling us to stop fighting and get along?

No, not at all. I hope you'll enjoy your food.

Let's take the cotton out.

Spit it out.

Two more visits, and we're done!

How come you never take your sunglasses off?

Huh? How come you never take yours off, then?

I don't want to see sick people.

They make me cry.

You don't want to see sick people, either?

Do they make you cry, too?

Something like that.

Guards like me can't let people see my expression... I mean, my heart.

Because I'm afraid people might see right through my heart.

So that's why I put these on.

Chang Hyo-Won!

Daddy! Daddy!

How was your treatment?

Thanks for taking care of Hyo-Won.

Not at all.

How come you weren't home yesterday?

I was waiting for you.

You even turned your phone off.

Oh yeah...

Oh no! You took your sunglasses off!

What if my dad sees right through your heart?

Oh yeah...

Can I ask you for a favor?

What favor?

I'd like to stop escorting Miss Hyo-Won.

I think she'll be better off with a female escort, too.

Okay.

I can do that.

Thank you.

Is that all you wanted to say?

I heard you waited for a long time yesterday.

And?

Why did you just leave?

Why was your cell phone off the whole night?

That hillbilly thinks you left...

... because you thought she and I had something weird going on.

Is that why you left and turned your cell phone off?

I can't say no to that.

I'm trying to figure out why I did that, too.

Was that a misunderstanding?

I can't say no to that, either.

That hillbilly looks more and more like a woman.

This is Chang Joon-Won.

Huh?

When?

Ji-Soo!

Ji-Soo!

Ji-Soo!

Ji-Soo!

Mr. Bong-Gi.

I'm sorry, but let's look for her a little longer.

Hello?

What?

Which police station?

Do you know how many people your wife almost killed today?

There might've been a tragic accident today!

She ran into a car lane.

All the cars behind her came to a sudden stop or crossed the center line.

Thank heavens there were no cars on the other side.

Take her handcuffs off, please.

She was too rowdy.

We have to work, don't we?

Go take an x-ray as soon as you leave, just in case.

I can't tell if she's okay or not because she can't talk.

Everyone enjoyed their food, regardless of their political party.

That's nice to hear.

It's hard for me to bring people together in harmony like your wheat cakes.

It's harder than it looks.

Kneading, lighting, measuring, flipping...

... and pouring the oil all needs to be done delicately to make fine wheat cakes.

It took me a long time to master that.

Okay, I'll do my best.

But Bong-Soon did a great job, even though it was her first time.

She's good at everything I tell her to make.

Really? She must be talented.

Should I teach her?

Me? How can I?

I don't even know that much about food.

I was just kidding!

You know, I think being a chef is better than being the president.

Food stops fights, brings people together, and makes them kind and happy.

Food can do what politics can't.

One thing I know is that everyone connects with food.

I like that.

Go see my wife. She was looking for you.

Sit down.

We'll be seeing a lot of each other lately. You should take it easy.

What happened to your boyfriend whose been troubling you?

Is everything working out?

Huh?

I wanted to do something for you, but couldn't think of anything creative.

I got you some clothes.

Wear it when you go see that boyfriend of yours.

You're at a nice age.

Dress in nice clothes and enjoy being in love with your boyfriend.

Introduce me to him when we get a chance.

Like the President said, let's think of each other as family.

I heard you almost became my daughter.

Why not? I'd like a daughter.

What happened?

Did they find her?

Where's Mr. Chang? Where's Mr. Chang?

They found her. He just called.

This isn't her first time.

You look shocked. You must've been worried.

How did you know?

I called him, and heard...

They found your mom, Hyo-Won.

Don't worry! Eat, okay?

Go ahead and eat.

Aren't you gonna eat?

It looks good.

Go ahead and eat.

Do you want me to feed you, then?

Let's dig in.

Which side dish would you like?

This one?

Or this one?

Your shoes....

You need to take your shoes off.

Ji-Soo, your shoes.

Your shoes!

Just let her in.

I'll take her shoes off for her.

Stop it!

Who told you to take her shoes off?

Go!

And never come back!

Don't come back.

Don't ever come back here again!

Guard Nam, take her away.

Please take her away!

Don't take it to heart.

He's just having a hard time.

I know.

I know that too.

I just don't feel good.

I feel as though something's piercing my heart. It's aching and hurting.

It really hurts a lot.

What should I do?

What should I do about Mr. Chang?

Wacha doin?

You're up?

I'm cooking breakfast.

You told me to make breakfast from now on.

What's all this?

Where did they go?

What do you mean, where?

They're all here.

You mean....

All of those precious....

Who told you to cook with these?

Can't you see?

We need to cherish them as much as we can!

Are you cooking for a party?

I just cooked because I couldn't sleep.

If you can't sleep, then count sheep!

What a waste of pine mushrooms!

I was going to cook them once a week on Sundays!

Isn't this fresh ginseng?

I hid them to cook only for birthdays.

How did you find this?

Four? Why cook four of them?

I thought everyone should get at least one if we don't want a fight.

What's this?

Fresh ginseng nourishments.

You made all these by yourself?

What's the occasion?

What occasion?

She cooked them because she couldn't sleep!

One more sleepless night, and we'll all be broke.

Bong-Gi, go and check if our pillars are still there.

Eat! The food's getting cold.

Let's eat, everyone! Let's eat!

Yellow cortina? Isn't this the first time we're eating one fish per person?

How about you, Director Lee?

I used to eat one a day before I sent my kids away.

I became a hyena after I came to this house.

You know what? Save these two for dinner!

- No, Father! - Come on, Sir!

Oh, are you going to work right now?

Oh, yes.

Oh my gosh.

Now that I think about it, he's dressed in designer clothes from head to toe!

Look at that watch!

I wonder how much that costs?

Good morning, Miss Jin-Kyung!

Good morning, Bro.

I should get a bicycle or something.

There were so many people in the bus, I thought it was going to burst!

Bro, have you ever tried yellow cortina?

Uh, yes.

Have you ate the whole fish by yourself?

No, it's too big.

Well, I did this morning!

This is the first time in my life I got to eat the whole fish!

Wait, your height... Did you grow taller overnight?

You didn't think I'd notice, did you? Those are heightening shoes!

I think they're taller than Miss Jin-Kyung's shoes! How tall are they?

They're not taller than mine!

Is it because I told you to get taller?

Well, this was the only thing I could think of.

I wanted to grow taller.

I'm sorry.

When's the physical training?

Isn't it 3pm?

Really?

Tell that to Bong-Gi, too.

I'm sure he already forgot...

Hey!

Get up!

Hurry!

Why?

Hey, she was pretty. You guys make a perfect match.

You think so?

I think she's pretty, too.

Okay, got it.

We tracked Ms. Lee Han-Sook, Director.

Really?

Where?

She's at the place we visited before.

I see... Get the car ready.

Yes, sir.

I didn't mean to steal it.

But life's forcing me to steal.

What's this?

Another thief role?

How come my roles are always like this?

I better sign with an agent or something.

How come they don't have a schedule for shooting?

Isn't this Mal-Sook's place?

- Hello? - Hello?

Who's this?

Hello?

Hello? Look, you're the one who called. Now talk! Hello?

What's this?

Again?

Hello?

Are you Ms. Lee Han-Sook?

Who's this?

Isn't this Ms. Lee Han-Sook?

Who?

Who are you?

I'm not Lee Han-Sook.

But who are you?

I really need to see Ms. Lee Han-Sook.

Where is she?

She must be a creditor!

She's on a trip! A trip!

No, she immigrated to a faraway land!

She won't be here anymore, so stop calling! Got that?

Who are you?

Who are you?

Are you here to see someone?

What's wrong with you? Can't you talk?

Who are you?
