Hyo-Won, shall we get on the merry-go-round?

The merry-go-round? Sure.

Let's go.

Today's a historical day! It's our family's first day at the amusement park!

Miss Chang Hyo-Won! Are you excited?

Yes!

Why don't you say something, Ma'am?

Ma'am?

Look this way! Ji-Soo! Ji-Soo!

Mommy, over there! Daddy's shooting us right now.

See?

You have to look at the camera if you want your face to come out.

Look over there, and smile. Okay?

Like this!

Very good.

How can the two of you be so pretty?

Daddy, I have to use the restroom!

You need to use the restroom? Sure.

Can you take her to the restroom, please?

Are you okay, Ji-Soo?

This place is too crowded, huh?

Let's take a rest while Hyo-Won's gone.

I want to skate on my own now.

Ji-Soo?

Ji-Soo!

Ji-Soo!

I'm Ok!

Get up! Come on, get up.

Aren't you cold?

Get up.

You'll ruin your clothes.

I'm just cooling off.

Cool what off?

The heat...

My heart got a fever.

This is so refreshing.

Hey hillbilly.

What, fathead!

Just stay quietly in your chicken coop.

If you pack your bags one more time, I'll make chicken kabobs out of you.

I thought you wanted me to leave because I give you a headache.

Wow, this is so refreshing! I love it!

We're looking for a missing person.

Her name is Ko Ji-Soo, age 31.

She is 167 cm tall, and is suffering from dementia.

If you've seen her, please call the information desk.

Bong-Soon!

Keep an eye on Hyo-Won.

Let's go.

My mommy... my mommy's gone!

What should I do?

Don't worry.

Your daddy and Guard Nam will find her soon.

What if they can't find her?

What if she never comes back?

She's not going anywhere without you.

Not with you still here.

Mommy!

Are you okay, Mommy?

You weren't supposed to let go of Mommy's hand! Why did you let go?

You weren't supposed to!

We almost lost Mommy.

I'm sorry.

I'm so sorry.

I'm sorry.

Oh no.

What should I do now, dear?

I think I made a big mistake.

What have I just done?

I didn't mortgage this house, even when I couldn't pay for Bong-Gi's college tuitions.

She doesn't even have the money to pay it off.

What has gotten into me?

I'm coming in.

Try some pine gruel.

You're only hurting yourself if you starve yourself in bed like that.

Just be a man about it.

Just be a parent, will you?

Do you think propagating makes you a parent?

What kind of a person doesn't even have an ounce of guilt?

Can't you tell what kind of life Bong-Soon's been living all this time?

She's hurt enough as it is!

You ruined her life once. Don't do it again!

Try some gruel.

I know you don't feel like eating, but I made it for you.

- No thanks. - It's hot!

Are you okay?

Did you get burned?

Don't worry. I deserve it.

2nd, 3rd, or 4th degree burn, I deserve it all.

I want to wipe my slate clean with an eraser and start my life over if I can.

What kind of a mother can't even look at her daughter straight in the eye?

I thought Yoon-Hee was dead.

I looked all over for her, but no one saw her, or took her.

I think I was out of my mind back then because I was crazy about movies.

I tried to kill myself.

I did everything I can to kill myself.

I even survived rat poison.

But guess what?

I'm so glad I didn't die.

It would've been a shame if I died without seeing my daughter again.

She's so pretty. She took after me.

You know, my whole life's been a regret.

But the best thing I've done in my life was coming back to life...

... like a phoenix even after eating rat poison.

I think they still need to check her progress.

It could be temporary.

Are you okay?

It's their business, not mine. Why does it matter if I'm okay or not?

Have you heard of Dom Perignon?

What?

I heard it's a rare champagne.

I really need it. I'm in big trouble.

Oh, a champagne?

I smashed the champagne we were supposed to use for the banquet.

What?

I knew this would happen when you said you're going to that crowded place.

How come the two of you can't even take care of one sick person?

This isn't like you.

We should always be extra careful at all times.

I hope this doesn't have a bad effect on her.

I'm sorry.

Daddy!

I didn't tell Grandma that you let go of Mommy's hand. I did a good job, right?

Hey hillbilly!

Why did you have to break something so expensive?

- Is it available? - They're all '98.

The '88 are all out of stock.

Besides, it takes at least a week for them to ship overseas.

What should I do now?

I'm gonna get fired if I don't find one!

What? Get fired?

For breaking a stinkin' wine bottle? Who's the cold-blooded rascal?

But then again, it's not just any stinkin' wine bottle.

It's for the banquet.

It's already been reported to their protocol office, right?

Yes.

You've made a big mistake... again!

You should've been more careful! You're such a klutz, homegirl!

Why did you drop that? Did you put oil on your chicken feet?

I didn't break it because I wanted to.

You're such a jerk, homeboy!

You're calling me a chicken! Do you want to get smashed by chicken feet?

Fine, go ahead and peck at me!

Let me go!

Let go!

Now there's the Bong-Soon I know.

Hey hillbilly, get over your bird flu now, okay?

What are you guys doing?

Hey mister! Wacha doin?

Is it available?

Yeo Bong-Soon!

Thanks to you, our whole country will be insulted!

Thanks to you, everyone in this room can get fired!

What are you going to do now?

What are you going to do?

Do you now understand the mess you've got us into?

You have two days.

If you can't find an Oenotheque in two days, you're fired. Got that?

Let's start the meeting now.

I don't think we can find an '88 Oenotheque.

I think we'll need to change our banquet theme of cooking for the champagne.

It was an unorthodox approach from the beginning...

... because the Prime Minister is a big fan of Dom Perignon.

Making the entire course go with the champagne is a little overkill.

We might as well play by the book.

Chief.

Miss Yeo Bong-Soon said she'll take full responsibility and find one.

What?

She said she'll quit her job if she can't find it.

Give an ice pack for the patient Kim Kwang-Soo for now.

Did the surgery for axillary osmidrosis go OK?

Yes.

You even memorized my surgery schedule?

Yes.

You have a hyperhidrosis surgery at 9, varix surgery at 11...

... a visit to the ICU for the patient Park Soo-Young from 2 to 3, and from...

That's enough. You know my schedule better than I do.

Is your wife better now?

Yeah.

Thanks for yesterday.

Sorry I ruined your day off.

It's okay.

I was only there because that hillbilly was having such a bad day yesterday.

What are you reading so carefully?

A wine guide? Do you like wine?

No, it's not for me...

Have you heard of champagne called Dom Perignon?

Yeah, sorta.

Do you know where I can find an '88 Oenotheque?

Well, I think they're very rare in Korea.

Think carefully. I have to find it, even if it means the end of the world!

Have you tried it, at least? Where have you tried it?

Well, I think I drank one when I was overseas.

Why don't you ask Mr. Ki Hyung-Do's restaurant?

They have a great wine collection.

You mean that Italian restaurant is his?

By the way, why do you need it?

The hillbilly's gonna get fired if she doesn't find one in two days.

What? What do you mean?

I thought your desk can use a little decoration.

Other people might get the wrong idea.

It's not a wrong idea.

What?

That means...

Miss Jin-Kyung!

I knew you were the man for me at the wine party yesterday.

Chateau Palmer, Chateau Margaux, and the Joseph Phelps were fabulous!

Their price was fabulous!

My heart started pounding and I felt dizzy for some reason while I was there.

I thought it was the wine, but I was wrong.

You really were the owner!

You're gonna say yes, right?

Miss Jin-Kyung!

Thank you.

Thank you.

Thank you so much.

What are you guys doing in broad daylight at work?

What's going on between you two?

I thought you were going out with Bong-Gi?

Is that why you cancelled your appointment with him yesterday?

What? I didn't make any appointment!

That stupid fathead...

So that's why he couldn't sleep at night... and got mad at me.

What kind of a guard can't even keep his own girl?

What a fathead.

Aren't you supposed to tell him that you've deserted him?

Miss Bong-Soon.

I got a call from Guard Nam.

You were looking for a Dom Perignon, right?

Yes! Can you get one?

Yes, I think so.

Huh?

I gave them a call.

Try calling this number.

Thank you! Thank you! I won't forget this for the rest of my life!

Thank you so much!

- It looks fine. - This looks fine?

You think this looks fine?

I said, I wanted a shaggy cut, not this ugly old man's cut!

This cut has 30 years of history to it.

All the presidents, ministers, and assemblymen have had this cut.

I came here because I didn't have time. Now I'm gonna waste more time on this!

I think it's time you quit your job!

It's the 21st century.

When did you get here, honey?

To pay you!

This is for the cell phone and the foot massager.

That's it, right?

From now on, don't ever call me again unless it's for my alimony, got that?

Honey! Did you join a hiking club?

I saw you go up the Dobong Mountain last Sunday with some men.

Why did you go hiking?

Were you stalking me?

I can't believe this!

You're stalking me!

Hey Pil-Do.

You need therapy, do you know that?

If you ever stalk me again, I'm going to turn you over to the police!

- Why did you join the hiking club? - To meet guys! So?

Maybe she's cheating on me.

What am I going to do now?

Hee!

Hello? Is this Pauilac?

Mr. Ki Hyung-Do told me to...

Right!

He called you?

Do you really have the '88 Oenotheque?

You do?

I'll be right there! I'll be there soon!

What's that?

Isn't that a parasite? What are you doing with that?

It's not a parasite. It's a vein from a patient's leg.

What?

Can a person live after taking the vein out of his leg?

Wouldn't his legs rot away and make him crippled?

I'm practicing with the vein I took out during the surgery.

The veins in a leg are all connected together like a spider web.

Taking out a useless vein wouldn't affect blood circulation at all.

Your hands are shaking.

Are you sure you can perform big operations like that?

Nothing's impossible if you focus!

Concentrate! Focus!

What? Someone just bought it?

What are you talking about?

What?

You mean...

The owner here and Mr. Ki Hyung-Do agreed to sell it to me!

Why did you sell it to someone else?

Well, my boss told me to take out the Oenotheque if someone comes for it.

Do you know who bought it, then?

I really need it!

Yeo Bong-Soo.

Do you now understand the mess you've got us into?

You have two days.

If you can't find an Oenotheque in two days, you're fired. Got that?

Mr. Chang.

You have 1 voice message.

Hey kiddo.

Are you off work?

Where are you? Are you home?

I knew you wouldn't pick up.

I called because of the champagne.

I heard.

Oenotheque will be hard to find.

I think it'll be easier if you look for a similar flavor.

I drank it once.

I thought it might help if you told you how it tastes.

Wine flavors are hard to explain, because they're so complex.

The wine felt intense when it touched my tongue.

It even had a sharp aftertaste.

I think I made it even more confusing for you.

What's wrong with me?

Cheer up.

Bye.

Jin Soo-Kyung. Do you know what time it is?

So?

Did you go to school today, or not?

Can't you tell I'm wearing my uniform?

I'm saying this because I can!

Look at how wrinkled this uniform is!

You stuffed this in a subway locker the whole day before you came home, right?

Don't try to fool me!

You're wrong!

It's just that I hate being neat!

Can you please mind your own business, Mr. Nosy?

Is that make-up? You're a high school student!

You should be beastin' out at school, not putting make-up on!

Tell me who, what, when, where, why, and how! Give me the five W's and one H!

Get real!

What? Get real?

Where do you think you're going? An elder is talking to you!

Get over here! On the count of three!

One! Two! Three!

Are you sure you're a high school senior?

Tell me how many days you have until the college entrance exam.

You don't know?

136 days!

Then tell me what date it is. You know that, right?

November 16th!

What kind of a senior doesn't even know her own...

Portable soju?

I can't go to school when I'm sober.

What are you doing?

Give it back.

What makes you think you can dig through my cell phone?

Give it back!

Give it back!

Starting from today, you're on 24-hour surveillance!

If something goes wrong, call me first. Got that?

What's wrong?

I just missed it.

I went to the wine shop, but someone bought it already.

What?

Later, okay?

You can wash her when you get better, okay?

But I want to.

You can slip. You might get a burn if you turn on the hot water too long.

Let's do this some other time, okay?

But there might not be a next time.

Okay then. Go ahead.

I'll keep an eye on you.

I won't let go this time.

You can wash Hyo-Won.

Mommy, it's slippery in here.

So be extra careful when you put your hand here, okay?

You're supposed to hold onto this with one hand and wash with the other hand.

I can't.

But I want to.

Ji-Soo.

This is a glove.

Just put it on like this, make bubbles, and scrub.

Simple, huh?

Mommy, that hurts. What are you doing?

You're supposed to scrub other places too!

Dude, it's not here! I can't find it anywhere!

What are you going to do now?

Is that the banquet menu?

Cucumber sun, radish rolls, pine nut gruel..

... cold crayfish, and '92 Dom Perignon?

You mean you guys are serving the '92 for appetizers?

Yeah.

Why are you guys serving French champagne with Korean food?

You have wines in Korea, too.

The Prime Minister is a big fan of that champagne.

As long as he's in Korea, he should be trying Korean food and wine.

I'm sure he drinks his favorite champagne all the time.

I know that too!

I'm only trying to please my guest...

We even need to think of things like that when we prepare food?

Of course, it's for a foreign prime minister.

Each food has a diplomatic meaning behind it.

Just think of it as displaying Korea on a table this big.

Displaying Korea...

Hey Bong-Gi!

Do a search on traditional Korean wine on your computer!

Hurry!

Okay. Traditional wine?

Is there a traditional wine good for treating diabetes and night-blindness?

Diabetes and night-blindness?

Does the Prime Minister have diabetes and night-blindness?

Yes.

This has a pine and honey scent.

But this has too much alcohol content, right?

Wake up! You can't get wasted already!

Wake up!

Open your eyes!

What should I drink this time?

Try this one. It's a Bokbunja wine.

Bokbunja? This is a great wine!

Makes a man powerful!

I'm gonna go break a chamber pot with my urine after I drink this.

Good, huh?

If we were in the west, this would be a raspberry wine, right?

It got some good reviews during the APEC.

Really?

What were the benefits of Bokbunja, again?

It makes a man powerful, and good for night-blindness.

We put it on the list because of night-blindness.

Helps the eyes by protecting the liver.

Is good for people with lazy-eye or night-blindness.

Night-blindness!

Hey! Do some more search on Bokbunja. Hurry!

- Hurry up! - Okay.

Hey hillbilly Look! It even looks like wine!

Wine is championed as a healthy drink for anti-aging and preventing...

... heart disease because of a substance called polyphenol in grapes.

Raspberry has also has enough...

Hey, Bong-Gi!

We found it!

This is perfect for the Prime Minster!

We're going with Plan B for the supper, instead of Plan A.

Let's be on our toes, and get this over without making any mistakes.

Excuse me.

Miss Yeo Bong-Soon didn't come to work today.

What happened?

Starting from today, Miss Bong-Soon doesn't work here anymore.

What are you talking about?

I told her to take responsibility for what she's done.

I guess she had an ounce of conscience left in her.

I think she decided not to come to work on her own terms.

How could you make a decision like that without talking to me first?

You never talked to me before you hired her either.

What did you just say?

I'm a little late!

You...

I'm sorry, I'm sorry.

Why are you so late, Miss Bong-Soon?

Being punctual is a must for the cooks at the Presidential Residence!

I'm sorry, Chef.

I was late because I was looking for these guys.

I'm sorry.

You have some nerve!

What did you say?

Change the recipe?

How dare you say such a thing in front of us!

You want to serve a stinkin' Bokbunja to someone who only drinks the best?

Are you out of your mind?

Why are you calling this a stinkin' Bokbunja?!

I'm sure even the best wine wasn't the best from the beginning.

I looked into this wine, and found out this won a bronze...

... and a silver medal at a wine competition in America!

I don't know why you city people look down on Korean stuff...

... and look up to imports only!

What?

Why Bokbunja? Out of all the wines?

The report said the Prime Minister was suffering from diabetes and night-blindness.

There's a substance called anthocyanin in Bokbunja.

I heard that's really good when you have diabetes or weary eyes.

It's also good for anti-aging and increasing memory power.

Oh, and smoking!

It's also good for heavy smokers.

I heard the Prime Minster is a heavy smoker!

Oh, and eels are a perfect match for Bokbunja!

It's good for men, and even better for women! Look at how fresh this is!

Stop it, won't you?

Yes, and besides from being a perfect match, they're in season right now.

I thought this'll help him restore his energy from the long trip.

And he's well in age.

Why are we wasting our time with this?

Stop it Chief, please!

Do you think you're smarter than us?

Get out!

If you said you're quitting, then just quit!

And take this with you!

You said we need to display Korea on the tables we serve!

You said everyone here's a diplomat, right?

I'm sure he'll be happy with that rare champagne.

But he'll only remember the champagne, not Korea.

It'll be great if we can show him that...

... there's a wine in Korea that's just as good as the foreign wines!

I really liked it when I heard that everyone connects with food.

If the Prime Minister is a true wine enthusiast, I'm sure he won't refuse...

... a wine without even drinking it just because he's never heard of it.

Chief.

I found the '88 Oenotheque.

You don't need to change your recipe after spending so much time making it.

Way to go, Kang Min-Ah!

You should've told us earlier!

We're going with Plan A, right?

Who's going to prepare the eel?

I'll see you after the banquet. You're gonna get it.

This is Dom Perignon '92.

Yes, I heard you're a big fan of them.

The photographers are waiting.

Shall we get up and make a toast?

What a great way to put it.

Our main entree are samsek pastries, Palace Ambrosia casserole, grilled and...

... seasoned eel with plum chili paste, and seasoned roast beef.

And for the wine, we have Korean's own Bokbunja wine.

I heard you prepared a 1988 Oenotheque.

I guess it was changed at the last minute?

Is there a reason?

Please excuse us.

One of our young workers broke your Dom Perignon by accident.

The kid must've been scared out of her wits.

She could've just ran away, but she didn't.

She looked all over to find another bottle.

And she even did her research and came to see me with this recipe.

I came up with a recipe for Dom Perignon, but she made a recipe for you.

She made the best recipe for your present health condition...

... and took your long trip into consideration.

This wine helps your eyes by protecting your liver that's tired from overworking.

It's also good for treating lazy-eye or night-blindness.

The eels go well with Bokbunja, and they're good for restoring energy.

Her warm heart that goes out to you is the heart of Korea.

You may be a little displeased, but I hope you'll enjoy her heart.
