For breakfast we'll be making cucumber sun, plum supsanjuk, grilled fish.

wolgwache, boiled rice and cereals, short-necked clam, and crown daisy soup.

Our side dishes are seasoned tofu and spinach, kimchi, and watered kimchi.

Dessert will be Kaesung cake and Kaeji ice tea.

Team 1 will be in charge of the main menu...

... and Team 2 is going to make the side dishes and the dessert.

Shall we begin, now?

Miss Yeo Bong-Soon!

Here.

Why are you giving me this?

It's a badge of rank, like in the army.

Work hard. You have a lot of responsibility now.

What?

You mean, Miss Yeo is here as a cook, not a kitchen aid?

She still has a lot to learn, so help her out, Miss Kang.

Chef Gang, this is absurd!

How can you take a kitchen aid from the staff cafeteria...

... and make her a cook at the Presidential Residence?

I can't accept this!

You mean, she's the new cook you've been talking about?

No. That person decided to stay in school and study some more.

So I selected Miss Yeo Bong-Soon here, instead.

Just trust me, and work with her.

Still, we can't work with someone who's not even qualified.

Even the smaller cafeterias out there don't hire rucks like this.

We work for our pride, above everything.

I don't care if you're the head chef. I can't have you disturb our pride!

Did you just call her a ruck?

I respect the passion and pride you guys have for cooking.

But under all circumstances, people come first, before cooking.

We have a new member here, but seeing you only concerned with your own pride...

... is like seeing someone stubbornly insisting on his own recipe...

... while disregarding the person who's eating.

I think Miss Yeo Bong-Soon has what you guys don't.

That's why I selected her.

You can find out what it is by working with her.

It's up to you to make Miss Yeo Bong-Soon a help or a nuisance to this place.

So take her. We'll talk later after you do.

Let me introduce myself.

I'm Guard Nam Bong-Gi, your new personal escort.

What happened?

I don't know.

We're only following orders.

Arrest! Begin CPR!

Move!

Come on, please! Come on, wake up!

Were you with him at the time of the accident?

No.

Ever been hospitalized or had surgery because of an illness?

No, except for common cold.

Any current treatment or medications taken?

No, none.

- What's your relationship to the patient? - The patient?

- Yes. - None, whatsoever.

What? Then who are you?

I don't know... Who am I?

What would you like me to do?

Bring me the sage over there, and take the cauliflowers out of the fridge.

Sage and cauli...what?

You don't even know what that is?

Forget it then.

Dice these into a concasser.

What? Corn...casser?

What is she saying?

Corn...casser?

Dice them the size of a corn?

What are you doing?

Who told you to dice them like this?

Didn't I tell you to dice them into 1.5 centimeters cubes?

Can't you follow instructions?

Forget it then! I'll do it.

Go help someone else.

What's this?

Why is this so flat?

It needs more salt!

Take your hands off from there!

What did you just do?

How dare you touch my food!

But the soup needed some salt.

I thought it would taste bad if I didn't put it in now.

Are you out of your mind?

Don't you know the President has diabetes? What if he ate them like this?

Get out!

I don't need someone who doesn't even have the basics down.

Get out of here! Now!

You heard him.

We need to get back to work.

Why don't you leave now?

What were you guys doing?

Start all over again!

Oh my gosh! It's already 2!

They're gonna come kill me in 3 hours!

I think I'll die from anxiety before they come and kill me!

How come Soo-Jung isn't here yet? That girl's driving me crazy!

Where do you think you're going?

You're trying to run away, aren't you? I knew this would happen!

I want my money back! Give me my money back!

I can give you your money back. That's petty cash.

But your money's not the issue here.

I'm going to lose my fingers in 3 hours!

I can't do anything with these fingers anymore!

You never did anything with them, except for manicure and playing hwatu.

I don't have much time to talk either. Just give me my money back.

Hey kid, you're so jacked up.

I'm Yoon-Hee's mom!

I'm your friend Bong-Soon's mom, which means I'm like a mother to you too!

Is this how you treat your mother?

Can you say that to your mother if she's about to get her fingers chopped off?

Good for you!

Why don't you just give up those shameless fingers of yours...

... and start a new life with your toes?

Have a sense of shame!

Listen to yourself!

You're only saying that because your fingers aren't the ones at stake here!

I just want to say that if you're not going to pay me back now...

... you better write me a statement to give up your body parts, too!

Just give me something, whether it's your kidney or eye!

What?

Give what?

Give me your toe, at least!

You have 5 days.

You have 5 days to decide whether you want to give me your money...

... or your kidney.

Listen to yourself!

I'm about to get my finger chopped off, and you want my toe?

You're so jacked up. Do you know who I am?

- Who are you? - I'm....

Hey, have you ever met the President?

I even went to his house. I even used his bathroom! Get lost!

What's taking her so long, anyways?

Guard Nam, what do you think about Bong-Gi... I mean, Guard Nam Bong-Gi?

Is he a good worker?

I don't know. Well....

It's okay, just tell me the truth.

Is Guard Nam Bong-Gi doing a good job?

- To be honest with you, not really. - What? Not really?

But I heard that the First Lady scouted him.

- That's a mystery for us, too. - What?

Oh, you know how social Bong-Gi is!

Is she personally summoned him to work her, I'm sure she really likes him.

That's right!

Bong-Gi's one social guy.

Ever since he was little, everyone in the streets complimented him...

... for respecting his elders and being amiable!

What do you think? All the colleagues like Bong-Gi, right?

No, not everyone.

But he's pretty quick!

He does play hard, but he works hard, too!

Well, yeah, I guess....

But he works his mouth more than his body.

He really is quick with his tongue, though.

They always make me do stuffs like this. I'm a girl, too.

But I can't say no with a body like this.

I have none to blame, but my weight.

I'm imprisoned for life.

What are you mumbling about?

Nice to meet you, Miss Noh!

You got prettier, Miss Jin-Kyung!

Really?

Speak for yourself, you're... the same.

It's like a slave chain.

You can't get those pounds off, can't you?

You're right... I can't get 'em off.

Enough with that, what's wrong with you?

- What about me? - I heard you're a stalker now.

- What? What did you say? - A stalker! You're a stalker!

I heard you're everywhere he goes!

All the guards are talking about how you're scarier than tigers or smallpox!

- What? - Is it possible to beg for love?

I'm saying this from the bottom of my heart.

Please find someone in your own league.

Guard Kim Ju-Yup is one of the hottest guys in BH!

Even I don't dare make a move on him!

You're only making a fool out of yourself.

Where should I take this to?

What's wrong with him?

No way....

Miss Jin-Kyung!

This is just so sad.

This is such a blow to my pride!

I better think this over.

Think of your wedding march, Jin-Kyung!

Even heightening shoes can't solve that problem!

Think it over, Jin-Kyung!

After all, money isn't everything!

Shall we go?

Whatever.

Miss Jin-Kyung!

This way.

But then again, money makes the man.

Who cares if he's short? We'll be in the car all the time.

The wedding?

It'll only be for 30 minutes. Just hang on for 30 minutes, Jin-Kyung.

Get in.

Shall we?

I don't know.

I don't know where I'm going, or where I can go with this.

I tried to avoid it.

I tried not to let it come to this.

But... but....

You don't need to follow me around everywhere.

Just use your time freely. I'll call you when I need you.

This is boring for you. And it makes both of us uncomfortable.

This is my job, and I'm on duty right now.

I'm sure you treat patients that make you uncomfortable.

How about Bong-Soon?

Just as you expected. She's doing really bad, with her mother and all.

Did you make a decision?

Is that why you and your wife were at....

So there you are!

Hi.

I know you're busy, so I'll get down to business.

I need her doctor's written opinion if I want to get Ji-Soo a visa...

... and put her in the hospital in America.

You can ask her doctor to write one now, right?

And I hope you won't put off the divorce much longer.

You can go home. I usually drive home myself.

But this is the First Lady's special request.

Please give me your keys, and get in.

But it's making me uncomfortable. I can go by myself.

I'm sorry, but I have no choice.

You're going home, right.

Yes.

No, let's go to the Presidential Residence.

Yes, Sir.

What's he thinking? Why is he going so slowly?

Hey 2637, move! Move, 2637!

- Go slower. - Huh?

Oh, sorry! I get a little edgy when I drive.

I wouldn't call this a little edgy. This is road rage.

You're a different person when you're behind the wheels.

Hey you!

Which driving school did you go to?

Why do you even bother taking your car out when you can't even drive?

Guard Nam?

Oh, I'm sorry.

Hey Guard Nam! Turn right!

What? You should've told me that sooner!

We can make a right turn later.

What's this? You didn't even turn your blinker on! Hey, Hey!

Turn your blinker on, 2905! Your blinker!

Turn your blinker on!

Already?

But I just talked to you on the phone! Did you guys fly here or something?

Where's Hyo-Won?

She just fell asleep.

What's wrong? Why do you look so worn out?

Are you okay?

Do you have any food left? I'm famished.

How come you didn't eat yet?

Everyone's left for home by now.

Let's go! I'll cook you something.

It's okay. I can make myself ramen. Just stay here.

You can't eat ramen for dinner!

It's okay. I got it.

You can get back to work.

Uh... I'm good at making ramen.

I'll do it.

Hey, where's the ramen?

Can you leave us alone for a minute?

Huh?

But I need to make ramen....

Why are you here at this hour?

I'm working here now.

I see.

What are you making?

It's called wolgwache.

You have to wrap the greens and the mushrooms in this sticky wrap.

But it's not coming out so pretty.

Yeah, it is ugly.

About yesterday....

I'm sorry.

I think I only made things even tougher for you.

I don't know how I....

I'm sorry.

I'm sorry for doing this to you.

I'm sorry for doing this to your wife.

I'm sorry for doing this to Hyo-Won.

I'm sorry for doing this to the President.

And my grandma....

I'm sorry for doing this to my grandma, too.

I really don't expect anything from you.

So don't burden yourself because of me.

It was our wedding anniversary.

Our last wedding anniversary.

Why isn't he eating yet?

- Where's Joon-Won? - Huh?

Is he in the kitchen?

Yes.

Miss Bong-Soon, you didn't go home yet?

No... I was just making something.

Wow, you really are into cooking.

Working here must be tough.

Can you handle it, Miss Bong-Soon?

Please don't be so formal with me.

Really, Miss Bong-Soon?

I mean, okay, Bong-Soon.

I'm worried about her.

You know how difficult working at our kitchen is.

You should've stopped her if you knew this ahead of time.

You have easier and better ways to learn.

You can go to school, or go study abroad.

Just come talk to me when you can't handle it, Miss Bong-Soon.

I mean, Bong-Soon.

Just work temporarily for experience, and then go to school or study abroad, okay?

Look here, Mr. Bodyguards! Aren't you guys going to order?

- What's your name? - Why do you want to know?

- I'm Kang Moon-Shik. - So?

- When's your day off? - I don't have one.

What do you do during the day?

I'm a pickpocket.

What?

You don't like me?

Why are you lying to me?

I'll send you another waitress. You can order from her.

What are you waiting for, Gil-Yong? We don't have much time.

Let's take her daughter's hand before we get her.

Yes, Boss.

Let me go! Let go!

Where's Lee Han-Sook right now?

Tell me now, before I chop your hand off!

I don't know!

I'm not her daughter!

She has two daughters, so go find them, instead of wasting your time with me!

Don't just stand there. Help me carry these!

Hold on just a sec!

What's all this?

What are you doing?

Yoon-Hee! Your mother's here!

Bong-Soon's not here yet! Look, what's all this?

It'll only be for a few days.

This really, really, is an emergency!

What brings you here with those baggages at this hour?

Why don't we sit down and talk?

Soo-Jung, go study in your sister's room over here. You have a test tomorrow.

You mean, you'll be staying in this house for a few days?

Can you stop butting in?

I need to talk with the Director, so please be quiet.

What did you want to talk to me about?

You see, I'm really a good citizen...

... but I made a mistake and took out a small private loan.

You mean, you ran away after bilking someone's money?

But they threatened to chop my finger off!

You don't know how wicked they are. They really are going to chop it off! Really!

And I told you to stop butting in!

No matter where I go, I can't escape them.

And I can't go sauna hopping when she needs to study.

Then all of a sudden, I thought of this place.

I have Yoon-Hee too, but I'm sure those gangsters can't do anything to me...

... if I'm with the Director of Presidential Guard.

Don't you agree?

They won't dare mess with someone who's guarding the President!

You even have a gun, right?

Soo-Jung, we're saved! You can relax now, this place is safe!

As her landlord, I'm sure you're not too happy...

... to have your tenant's family rush over here.

But please just let it go this time, for Yoon-Hee's sake.

We'll be so quiet, you'll never even know we were here.

Please?

We're closing for the night.

Please get out.

I said, get out!

Get out!

What's this?

Did you just grab a hold of me?

Why don't you just leave, before I call the cops?

Why you....

This is her workplace.

If you have something to say, just say it. And leave quietly.

Fine.

I got you, so just let me go.

Let me go.

- Call the cops! - Huh? Okay.

Where is she?

In your room.

Go inside.

She's got a lot of baggage for someone who's going to stay for a few days.

She said she got a private loan?

What kind of a woman gets a private loan from gangsters?

Get up!

Get up, now!

Get out!

Get out of this house! I said, get out!

I already told you.

I don't ever want to see you again!

It's none of my business if you get beaten to death or get your finger chopped off!

Why are you doing this to me?

Why are you....

I've already got enough troubles to drown myself in.

I don't need you to make it even harder for me!

Am I a maid or something?

I can't believe I'm 60 years old, cooking for some freeloader.

I'll probably have to die first if I don't want to be a kitchen maid anymore.

Sir! Is the food ready yet?

Do you think I'm your wife or something?

Food! Food! Food! That's the only thing on your mind, huh?

Get those crusties off your eyes before you ask me for food!

Why are you taking your anger out on me for?

She's only going to be here for a few days?

A few days?

Do you know how much that'll cost?

Look at all this rice.

There's more.

I need six eggs now if I want to make fried eggs.

Since they're here because of you, you should pay for their food costs.

What?

Why me?

Okay, fine.

I'll help you. Stop getting so hysterical.

What do you want me to do?

Wash your hands and clean the bean sprouts.

Okay.

Come on, Father! We have a guest here. There's nothing to eat here.

You should've made some fried eggs, at least.

Let's eat now.

Help yourselves.

But there really is nothing to eat.

It'll only be for a few days.

I can sleep anywhere, but Soo-Jung's in school, and this is her exam week.

Guess what? She's at the top of her class!

She's so smart, just like her mother.

She gets the highest score on every single test she takes!

Really? Awesome!

When I was a student, I couldn't even dare talk to kids who were top of my class.

Let's talk from now on, okay?

How come you're not eating?

You need to eat breakfast if you want to study well.

Eat before you go to school.

I said, eat!

Don't skip meals. It's bad for you.

Look at you. You're so skinny.

How's your mother doing?

Do you see her often?

It sounds like your home's too uncomfortable.

We were thinking of getting a new place for you.

No, not at all.

I'm fine.

You don't need to.

Please don't.

Oh, make yourself comfortable.

We said we're not going to be formal anymore, remember?

I only want to do something for you.

I feel bad for all the years that have gone by.

And I feel bad to have your grandma pass away like that.

That's just the way I feel.

He's saying it as your parent.

Don't feel burdened, okay?

She's here.

Okay, bring her in.

Sorry, we'll talk later. We have a guest.

Hi! You're here.

Hi, long time no see. How have you been?

I heard you came.

Long time so see, Ji-Soo.

We should've met you sooner, but we've have some issues.

We're leaving in 5 days.

I'd like Hyo-Won to be with Ji-Soo before she leaves.

I see.

Please take a seat.

Mayo Clinic... sounds like this is from America.

Post-Encephalitic Dementia?

Who's the one with dementia?

You have a selfishly boring body.

You should be ashamed of yourself!

What's she smiling about?

Who is he?

He's here the whole day with nothing to do.

I don't think he's waiting for someone either.

What is he up to?

Maybe he works for the insurance company.

If he did, he'd stay in the patient room, not here.

What do you want?

What do you mean, what do I want?

I'm calling you in my busy schedule.

You should at least pretend to be happy.

I'm happy.

Did you get off work yet?

Yes.

Why are your answers so short? Shouldn't you say at least five words?

I have to go! Bye.

Lighten up, will you?

Are you really going to let her go?

Don't do it, Mr. Chang!

You know that's not right!

What are you going to do after you let her go?

It'll be even tougher for you!

I'm sorry.

This is all my fault, Mr. Chang!

You didn't do anything wrong.

It's not your fault.

I changed.

I've changed!

I can't look Ji-Soo straight in the eye anymore.

No matter what I do, it's not the way it used to be.

No matter what I do, I feel like I'm faking it!

I hate myself so much, I can't stand it.

I can't look into her clear eyes and pretend nothing's wrong anymore.

I already became a bad person to her.

I can't hold onto that naive girl anymore and pretend nothing's wrong...

... so that other people won't think I'm bad.

These are our kids we're talking about. They deserve the best.

Just think that in a couple of days, we're gonna be parents!

Yeah. What if they don't like me?

- Marlin. - No, really.

There's over 400 eggs.

Just think that in a couple of days, we're gonna be parents!

Yeah. What if they don't like me?

Marlin.

Just think that in a couple of days, we're gonna be parents!

Yeah. What if they don't like me?

- Marlin - No, really.

Right on!

What's wrong with me today?

Hello?

Gosh, you're such a hillbilly.

Lift your chin up and look at me.

Don't be alarmed! It's just me.

Are you impressed?

Bong-Gi? What's this?

Where are you?

What do you mean, where am I? I'm right in front of you!

Hey hillbilly, are things going tough for you?

Yeah, it's tough for me too.

It's tough to see you so down.

And it's tough to see myself so down.

It's tough because I hate you.

It's tough because I feel like a fool.

It's tough because you're such a peabrain and a blockhead.

It's tough because I'm such a peabrain and a blockhead.

Why is this so tough for me, Bong-Soon?

I bet you don't know this, huh?

After you got sick, I was so thankful to see your nails growing.

I thought, 'She's alive.

She's hanging in there.

I better get myself together, too'.

What should we do, Ji-Soo?

I don't think I can clip your nails anymore.

I'm sorry. I'm so sorry.

You're still hanging in there.

Joon-Won....

Ji-Soo?

Ji-Soo!
