What?

Scars from past love can only be healed through new love?

How come you can't be that love?

She's not usually like this during summer.

I wonder what's wrong.

She's having a hard time eating.

I see.

Is there anything you'd like to eat?

No, not really.

Dr. Chung says it may be because of stress.

Is there anything troubling you?

No, nothing like that.

Like the President said, I think I'm sensitive to the summer weather.

I'll try to prepare something that'll help you rejuvenate.

Thanks.

Grandma! Grandpa! I want to go home today!

But today's not a visiting day.

You can visit her later.

No way!

Bong-Soon said she's going to make something that'll make Mommy better!

She did?

Hyo-Won said you were going to cook for Ji-Soo.

Something about a food that can cure her.

What does that mean?

Well... it's not something that'll cure her.

But I read that Lion's Mane mushrooms have an Anti-Dementia effect...

... and got some.

You can't trust everything people say, but I heard that they vitalize nerve cell growth.

A dementia patient started answering phone calls...

... and memorizing people's names after taking them for a long time!

Yes, I know.

Does that mean she already tried them?

A long time ago.

We can try giving it to her again.

Go with Hyo-Won and make them for her.

To her house?

Can I just cook here and have it delivered?

I think you should go there yourself.

Hyo-Won' been begging to go with you.

You can take this opportunity to get to know Ji-Soo better.

(Don't touch! Very hot!) (Gas Range)

Is that the medicine to make my mom better?

Yes.

She'll get better if she continues taking them for a long time.

I want you to pour them in a coffee mug like this...

... and give it to your mommy 3 times a day after meals, okay?

3 times a day after meals.

In a coffee mug!

Does that mean my mommy won't forget my name if she drinks this?

No! No!

Come over here. What did Daddy write over there?

It's dangerous. Don't ever go near there!

Stand right here next to me!

Home already?

Yes, I was on night duty yesterday. Where's Ji-Soo?

- Over here, Daddy! - Oh hi, Hyo-Won.

Daddy, Bong-Soon was making medicine for Mommy.

Oh...

I don't know how we should thank her.

She came all the way here to cook something that'll help Ji-Soo.

Thank you so much.

It's done now! Sit down, Mommy! Hurry!

Wow, you made a lot!

Try them, Ji-Soo!

I don't know what she likes, so I just made everything.

I heard you can take them as medicines or eat them as side dishes.

This will last about two weeks.

It doesn't matter if you serve it hot or cold.

Taking it consistently is what matters. Don't forget it give it to her.

I heard a lot of people got better after eating this.

I heard they can now answer phone calls and remember names.

I'm sure she'll get better. She will.

Eat this.

And eat this too.

You need to eat a lot if you want to get better.

It's okay. You can get back inside.

I'll take you home.

Wanna go somewhere with me?

Now, the last formula!

Cosine A minus Cosine B equals minus 2 sine A divided by two plus B sine A...

This sounds hard to memorize, but there's a trick!

Comaco Madusinsin! It's Comaco Madusinsin, okay? Easy, huh?

I'll sing this in the tune of 'Rudolph, the Red-Nosed Reindeer'.

Sinpsin is Dushinco.

Sinmasin is Ducosin.

Copco is Ducoco... I'm going to skip the middle.

Now's the part for 'You'll go down in history!'.

Comaco is Madusinsin!

Very good!

That's it for trigonometric functions! Now you try it.

I'll memorize it if you do it.

Now memorize it.

Sinpsin is Dushinco.

Sinmasin is Ducosin.

- Posco is Rococo... - You've got it all wrong!

Posco is a company, and Rococo is an 18th century art form!

I'm not making you memorize the entire formula.

I'm only asking you to sing the first syllables.

Can't you even get that right?

I don't want to! It's too tacky! I'd rather get it wrong!

What? You'd rather get it wrong?

Some of your guesses will be wrong, some of your equations will be wrong...

... and some questions will be wrong because you don't know.

How many correct answers are left then?

Just cut the crap! I'll give you 5 minutes. Memorize it again!

Now start!

(Scars from past love can only be healed through new love?)

(How come you can't be that love?)

Maybe she heard that.

How come that hillbilly isn't saying anything?

Maybe she didn't hear.

Aren't we going to study? I thought you wanted to study.

Did you memorize it? Now sing.

Sinpsin...

Forget it! Say it like you mean it!

Don't go easy on me.

We're doing this for realz, okay?

Shall we begin?

I'm not going to show any mercy.

Come on.

You can do better than that!

It's your loss if you go easy on me.

Get it right!

Do it again!

From now on, I'll be your sister.

(Declaration of Divorce) (Chang Joon-Won / Shin Ji-Soo)

I'm sorry.

I ended up putting my seal.

I ended up liking someone.

It's over now.

Actually, I'm still trying.

I'm still trying.

I'll try harder.

I'm an awful person, huh?

This is what I've done when you're ill.

I'm such a jerk, huh?

I'm sorry.

I'm sorry... Ji-Soo.

Concentrate!

"Guagua Sugihanya... Yakbulhyunya Bunjagikikya..."

Turtle, turtle, give me your head.

If you don't, I'll roast you and eat you!

What's the theme of this poem?

Our ancestors used to eat turtles.

Correct!

That's right.

Where is this poem recorded?

The illustrated animal book? The Chosun Cooking White Papers?

Correct!

That's right!

What? The illustrated animal book? The Chosun Cooking White Papers?

This is from the Shilla era! The Shilla era! AD 42!

Do you know what AD means?

Probably a CD's friend.

Look! She says it's a CD's friend!

What's wrong with your sister?

Why don't you call yourselves the chicken sisters?

You look like a disappointed dog chasing after a chicken.

Hey there, Mr. Dog. Stop staring!

What? Dog? Why you rotten little fighting cock!

(Summer energy food) (Samgyetang Loach soup)

Duck?

I'm coming in.

- What? - Huh?

What do you mean, what? You always ask me, what?

What's important is that Dokdo Island belongs to Korea.

About yesterday...

Did you hear that?

Well, you see... What I'm trying to say is...

I'll explain everything, okay?

Go and unclog the toilet!

It's always clogged whenever I go!

What? Now's not the time to...

It's because we have more people in the house.

That's clogged up because it's on overload!

Hey

Yes?

Where can I buy Aralia tree?

What?

How would I know? I don't even know how Aralias look like.

Aralia.

Scars from past love can only be healed through new love?

How come you can't be that love?

I think I know why chicken breasts are so dry and make me thirsty.

What's going on between you and Bong-Gi?

- What do you mean? - Are you guys going out?

- Why do you care? - Because I do.

Nam Bong-Gi's alright.

He's mine, okay?

Come out and eat, everyone!

What are you doing at the breakfast table?

That was so corny. I told you not to do it.

Tell me who's attending the lunch on tomorrow.

I need to talk to the protocol and the kitchen people.

Oh my gosh! He said, luncheon!

I've had luncheon snacks, but I've never had a real luncheon before.

What should I do?

Do I need to prepare anything before I go?

Just leave that mouth behind before you go!

So it can't follow you! You can even bury it in the front yard!

Why are you so twisted?

How am I going to eat there if I don't take my mouth with me?

I'm sure their table will be filled with a fabulous feast.

I'd take other people's mouth with me if I can. But you want me to leave it behind?

Soo-Jung! Soo-Kyung!

Are you sure you can't be excused from school for the luncheon?

This is a golden opportunity! We gotta go and make the most of it!

Let's go and stock up for the summer!

Eating grass like these won't help us stand the summer heat.

Fine then. You guys can study at school.

I'll bring the leftovers. Satisfied?

Do you have a dish box in this house? I need to borrow a big one.

I'm sure you've all decided on what to make.

What's the main ingredient?

Eel!

- Duck! - Duck!

Both of you?

Okay then. Sounds good.

A good dish begins with good ingredients.

A competent cook knows how to select good ingredients.

Therefore, I will inspect your ingredients beforehand.

The First Lady will personally evaluate your dish.

Are you blind, Mal-Sook?

What do you mean he's too skinny?

How can you say that he's boring?

You can't call that boring!

Forget it! Forget about Bong-Gi.

What about the Aralia tree and the ginseng duck?

I need it by dinner, okay?

I need one that hasn't been caged, okay?

Ginseng duck?

Why don't you just take out the trash?

- Do it yourself. - What?

I see how it is. Now you're showing your true colors.

See this?

How dare you talk back to your senior!

Take it out now!

Just give it up.

Do you think you have a chance competing with me?

With the same ingredient?

I'm going to cook a French variation of Peking duck.

What are you going to do?

You're not gonna boil it with rice like everyone else does, right?

Your duck can't even compete with mine.

My duck was finely bred in the finest surroundings!

Don't embarrass yourself later. It's not too late to change your menu!

The First Lady is looking for you.

Current Affairs Magazine?

Yes.

We should be more careful from now on.

Tell that to Guard Nam as well.

Yes, Ma'am.

Miss Yeo Bong-Soon is here.

Come and sit down.

Her mother was very touched.

Thanks to you, Hyo-Won's now in good spirit too.

Did you go anywhere with Joon-Won last night?

What?

I'm only saying this because a reporter is following Joon-Won around...

... to write a story on him.

I heard the reporter was in front of his house yesterday.

I don't want him to get any wrong ideas.

You know how reporters make a big fuss over the smallest things.

Because of who his father is, he's been walking on thin ice all his life to avoid gossip.

And that's the way it's always going to be.

It's much easier to crumble down than to build up.

Please be careful.

Cinderella or Snow White... Which one would you go out with?

Princess Jin-Kyung!

Does that make me number one?

Then pick a princess you like besides me.

Snow White.

Next question.

Why was Little Red Riding Hood late to her Grandma's house?

1. She didn't like her Grandma.

2. She had to finish the cake.

Miss Jin-Kyung.

- Why are we doing this? - To get to know each other.

My friend used this to find her boyfriend's character out, and broke up immediately!

Number two! Something about the cake.

She had to finish the cake?

Yes.

Last question.

Do you think there's something fishy going on...

... between Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs?

No, not at all.

Mr. Hyung-Do! It says here that you're an angel-type!

Thank God! I was so worried your result might be devil-type.

What a relief.

Yes, Mother?

You're in Paris?

What? You're in Basel? What for?

Oh, to see Bocklin?

You bought another painting?

Stop buying them.

Are you trying to open a gallery or something?

How elegant.

That's so freakin' elegant!

He wants her to stop buying paintings!

Dang.

If she's rich enough to travel abroad and collect paintings...

... they must have more than a restaurant!

There's something more. There must be more!

Ginger... ginger...

(Aralia tree)

(For lumbago, alleviating fever, restoring energy, and recovering from fatigue)

How did the coronary surgery go?

What kind of a surgery runs from 11AM 'till now?

Whoa, 9 hours?

Aren't you hungry? Heck, never mind that.

Didn't you need to use the restroom?

She wants to be my sister.

And I agreed.

I was thinking about how enviable you are.

For me, you're the enviable one, Mr. Chang.

Why aren't you telling her how you feel?

Because I know she has feelings for someone else.

What the! Hillbilly!

What a strange coincidence!

I know we live in the same house, but I can't believe we ran into each other here!

What a coincidence!

Did you just get off work?

Working hard, aren't you?

After the storm comes the calm.

Where there's a will, there's a way. Knock, and the door shall be opened.

When God closes a door, he opens a window.

No pain, no gain.

Scars from past love can only be healed through new...

Were you talking to me that night, by any chance?

What?

You heard it?

No! No way, Hillbilly!

Do you think I'm crazy? I have plenty of 1st class girls around me.

Why would I like a polluted class from the 4th dimension like you?!

And above all, I'm human. And you're a chicken.

How dare you try to join the human race!

I was out of my mind that day because it was the first time I was dumped by a girl!

You got dumped by Miss Jin-Kyung too.

Right.

I was dumped one after the other. It was the most shocking moment.

So it was a slip of the tongue! I don't know what's wrong with my tongue.

I even speak strange languages from all over the world!

Nee nee Koopenda Ue Ue.

Ungiya kuthanda.

Abdi bogoh ka.

Abdi bogoh ka.

Ji-Soo!

Hold still!

Don't move.

Hold still, okay?

I told you not to touch this because it's dangerous, right?

You could've gotten hurt!

You could've burned yourself!

I wanted to iron your shirt.

Because I'm your wife.

I'm your wife.

What the? What's wrong with this?

Is everyone ready?

Are you going to boil it with rice?

Yes.

I tried to make something that will improve the First Lady's condition.

Her attending physician told me that she has lumbago...

... blood circulation problem, and insomnia.

So I made rice-boiled duck with Aralias.

With your skill, you could make better.

I didn't know young people like you knew what Aralias are.

Let's see.

They're the same!

Even the Aralias!

Did you copy Miss Kang?

No!

That's not true.

I asked her doctor and learned that she has lumbago, insomnia..., so I...

I can't believe this.

Now you've resorted to stealing other's recipe?

No! I didn't steal it!

I don't steal from others. I'm not that nasty.

Then how do you explain this?

Are you saying that Min-Ah Kang stole yours?

Like Miss Bong-Soon said, it can be a coincidence.

Unlike some people, I keep my recipe in a secure place.

Her duck's ruined anyways, and our recipes are the same.

Why don't you just tell her to change her menu?

Bong-Soon!

Both your competence and character are degrading!

I'm letting you go this time because I have no evidence.

But watch out! I'm keeping an eye on you.

Find another recipe by dinnertime!

I heard you started hiking, but what's all this?

I thought these were for professionals.

I guess I'll be a professional then.

Oh, come on... It's not like you're gonna climb Mt. Everest.

How much did you pay for them?

Just buy some medicine for osteoporosis.

What if you break a bone while hiking?

Think about your age.

I'm doing this because I'm thinking about my age.

When else can I go mountain climbing?

Do you think life is long?

I didn't know how short it is until I saw my friends die one after the other.

Do you know why I got a divorce at this age?

Why did you?

I came like the wind, but I don't want to leave like the dew.

I want to leave my mark behind before I go.

I did it so I can go to Mt. Kilimanjaro.

What?

Kilimanjaro?

Even if I should disappear without a trace, I want to burn like a spark of fire.

Don't ask me why I want to climb so high.

Why I'm striving to go so high.

It doesn't matter if no one understands the burning soul of a man in solitude.

Pil-Do! Why are you here again?

You're not going to Mt. Chiri this weekend.

Cancel it.

Jang-Goon's on a vacation.

What? He's on vacation?

How come he didn't tell me about it?

Since he called home, he figured you'd get the news too.

He doesn't know about us yet.

You're coming home, right?

What if Bang Jang-goon goes AWOL?

- How's it going? - OK.

Are you making rice-boiled chicken?

Yes.

So is Miss Kang.

Chicken versus duck.

How come you don't look happy to cook?

Actually, I also wanted to make rice-boiled duck.

But something happened and the duck got spoiled.

You mean you're cooking when you don't want to?

Forget it then.

You're making a bogus food. That won't help her at all.

I'm sorry.

I don't have time, and I can't think of anything else.

All my ingredients are for rice-boiled duck.

For rice-boiled duck...

I'm sure these guys were all stars when they were born.

It's up to the cook to decide what she can do with her ingredients.

You never know what you can do with them.

Get creative.

Here are the energy foods I talked to you about.

Please give a stern and firm evaluation, for training purposes.

This is the rice-boiled herbal duck by Miss Kang Min-Ah.

It's tender! And I like the fragrance.

What's this?

It's Aralia tree.

Aralia trees are good for the liver.

It's especially good for people with neuralgia, lumbago, and gastritis.

I prepared them because I heard that...

... you've been suffering from gastritis and lumbago.

My goodness! How did you know that?

Thank you.

It's excellent.

And this is Miss Yeo Bong-Soon's chestnut dish.

This looks very simple for a summer energy food.

Chestnut gruel, chestnut rice ball, and mixed nuts.

Like the other two cooks, most people think of ducks or eels for energy food.

Can chestnuts be energy food as well?

Sure.

Chestnuts have more protein than meat.

Like ducks, they also have a lot of unsaturated fatty acid.

I heard they're good for restoring energy because they're very high in calories!

They were selected as a food to help longevity by The New York Times...

... because they're good for people with cold, asthma, constipation, insomnia...

I made the gruel because I heard you're having a tough time eating...

... and they're easier to swallow.

Since you're skipping a lot of meals in your busy schedule...

... I prepared rice balls and mixed nuts.

They're light, and full of energy.

Can you make the final verdict, please?

I'd like to thank the three of you.

Just thinking about the heart you've put into it gives me energy.

But since I need to evaluate them...

I loved the rice-boiled duck.

And I loved Miss Bong-Soon's food as much as the rice-boiled duck.

I'll just eat both of them. I can't decide on just one.

No, Ma'am.

Ducks and chestnuts are incompatible. You shouldn't eat them together.

Please just pick one.

Then I'll go with...

... this one.

I can eat them in between my busy schedule.

Thank you for being so considerate.
