Original subtitles

(Episode 50)

You've got guts.

You're from a small bakery that sells only a small amount a day.

And you're challenging the giant company?

Isn't that too reckless?

Let's see if it's reckless or not.

We'll give the viewers a chance to choose one of us.

Chance?

Just say you can't beat me.

You sound pathetic with such a lame excuse.

Let me just ask you for one thing.

Don't play cheap and just play fair and square.

And I hope you don't make any mistakes.

I hope you also manage it well...

so that you won't be humiliated.

Yes, Seo Jun. Why are you getting late?

What? What do you mean?

Ms. Han.

Seon Hwa will be on TV today.

It was Seon Hwa's wish...

to become a patissier while you were alive.

Please help her from up there so that she doesn't make mistakes.

Gosh. What do I do?

It's a bad omen.

Seon Hwa, your mom isn't dead.

Go and meet Sister Maria at the church.

Please forgive me.

While I was away to pick the ingredients, it became like this.

Who on earth did this?

It's even trampled over.

I think who did this.

It must be Jae Gyeong.

Then, we should reveal it!

We should check the security cameras first.

But it doesn't seem to have any because of privacy.

Seo Jun, what we need urgently are the ingredients for the demonstration.

The shells of the jogaeron for display are all broken too.

What?

What do we do?

What if we can't do the demonstration during the show?

Hanok Bakery will be in trouble.

It was right before the live show. I'm sure she was really shocked.

I'm sure Seon Hwa must be feeling completely helpless now.

Su Jin, thank you for the heads up about Hanok Bakery's jogaeron.

I owe you this time.

Hey, make sure to keep the promise you made to me.

Okay.

Anyway, thanks to your help, we could make jogaeron too.

Now that Hanok Bakery doesn't have samples for display,

she'll either give up on being on the show...

or just advertise regular macarons.

Then, there's no doubt that you'll win.

For sure.

The viewers don't like simple and ordinary ones.

Who would purchase regular macarons on an infomercial channel?

You're right.

Seon Hwa, how pathetic you are.

We still have shells for macarons, so we'll use them for display.

Right. Since the macarons are the signature menu of Hanok Bakery,

we'll use them as samples.

And we'll make jogaeron for demonstration instead with the remaining ingredients...

and explain it.

That's not acceptable.

Daekook Confectionery will make jogaeron for demonstration.

- Pardon? - Pardon?

If you two make the same ones, it's going to be confusing.

It's a competition, so you should make different ones.

But we have no choice because we lost the ingredients.

But we already planned it out, so we can't change it now.

As planned, we'll have Daekook make jogaeron,

and you'll demonstrate how to make regular macarons.

And Daekook will be selling jogaeron,

while you'll sell regular ones.

Then, it's too adverse for us.

Please check the security cameras out of the room...

and see who came in and ruined our samples.

What?

Seon Hwa's mother is alive?

Yes. Mrs. Han left a memo on the back of her photo.

I'm not sure if I should tell this Seon Hwa right away.

I'm so nervous.

Tell her when she comes back after doing the show.

That's not so urgent.

I agree.

Her mind will be whirling if she hears this.

She can't make mistakes during the show.

Of course not.

Still, she'll be startled if she learns this.

She believed that her mother had been dead until now.

Is this good news?

We'll have to see.

She'd been living with her grandmother alone...

and lost not only Mrs. Han but also Sae Byeok,

having been left with no one to lean on.

Then, if she learns that her mom is alive, she'll be delighted.

I hope she can find her mom soon.

Anyway, when does the show start?

Hello.

Come in.

Jae Gyeong is on TV. Come sit down.

Come here.

Will she do well?

Jae Gyeong graduated as a top student from Le Cordon Bleu.

Of course, she'll win.

It was a good choice to let her study in France.

It's very surprising that Mr. Bae decided to go on an infomercial.

He refused to collaborate with us, saying he hates mass production.

He's so fickle.

Maybe, he just wants to promote the brand with the limited edition.

I don't think that's the only reason.

Master Bae made up his mind for his apprentices.

Where have you been when we were setting the ingredients?

Why do you ask?

There's no one else who'd such a thing.

It's your fault that you didn't make sure to keep it safe.

Why do you always blame me for every trouble you get in?

Because it's obvious that you're behind it.

Are you that unsure of yourself?

Do you want to beat me even by playing cheap?

Do you have proof that I did it?

There's only one security camera in the hallway.

So it's hard to see who came into the green room.

When you try to claim something, do it with proof.

Don't just frame me with your imagination.

Why are you so sure that I'm the only one with a grudge toward you?

So many things can happen...

even if I do nothing about it.

Do you feel better if you play the innocent?

Do you really think no one knows what you've done?

No secrets are kept forever.

When everything you did comes to light later,

how will you deal with it?

Fine. Just babble as you want.

I'll get to the bottom of it until the end. So get ready.

Ready for what?

There's nothing you can do.

You're going frantic out of hopelessness.

My Dal Bong said he wasn't interested in infomercials.

My Dal Bong?

That's so ugly for the olds to speak like that.

You know nothing about love.

Although we're old biologically, we're young in our hearts.

Geez. Whatever.

Real young people would laugh at you.

What?

By the way, your two daughters-in-law are having a big competition today.

Who do you want to win?

Don't ask me!

You must be happy to have many daughters-in-law.

A new daughter-in-law and ex-daughter-in-law.

What are you doing between the two?

Then, do you even have one?

Just say you're jealous.

Why would I ever feel jealous of that?

Your son is just useless.

He never responds to your one-sided love.

Shut it.

Be quiet. It begins.

It's the season of "high sky and stout horses."

Finally, it's autumn when even horses grow stout.

Could it be why? We want to eat this after a meal.

Yes, it's sweet desserts.

So we prepared this.

With its colorful design and cute shape, it makes us smack our lips.

It's macaron, a fancy dessert.

Today, we'd like to introduce you to new macarons with new ingredients.

Welcome.

I'm Lee Su Jin, a show host who'll invite you to this sweet world.

Nice to meet you.

And today, we prepared a special segment.

As you can see, two beautiful ladies are on each side.

Mrs. Yoon Jae Gyeong...

from Daekook Confectionery, the flagship confectionery in Korea.

(Yoon Jae Gyeong, the senior manager of Daekook Confectionery)

And Ms. Bong Seon Hwa, the best pupil of Master Bae...

from the famous Hanok Bakery at Anam-dong,

(Bong Seon Hwa, a patissier from Hanok Bakery)

Both of them are going to have a contest today.

Will the winner be Daekook Confectionery's jogaeron...

or Hanok Bakery's natural ingredients macarons?

Let's start this sweet but brutal competition right now!

Jae Gyeong! Mom's here!

You can do this, Jae Gyeong!

There's already a fan of Daekook Confectionery!

- That's... - If our viewers...

Isn't that Jae Gyeong's birth mother?

You're right.

When did she get there?

I just chased her off to the US, and now she's back again.

Gosh. She's such a headache.

I'm so excited to see what macarons they will show us today!

Daekook Confectionery is now demonstrating how to make macarons.

Hello, I'm Daekook Confectionery's Senior Manager Yoon Jae Gyeong.

We heard that you graduated from a famous pastry school in France.

I graduated from Le Cordon Bleu.

She's a talented chef that graduated first place in school.

We'll look forward to it.

So you're making the macaron shells by using a shell mold.

Yes. This is the new jogaeron by Daekook Confectionery,

called "The Mermaid's Bed."

There are eight jogaeron...

of different shapes and flavors in one box.

It's sold at the lowest price just for today,

so please hurry up.

The orders are already coming in right now.

It's hard to go outside due to the situation lately, right?

I've been spending a lot of time indoors too.

Have you been planning this all along, Jae Gyeong?

You wanted to stand out...

by stealing our new product...

and having me make plain macarons?

What do I do? I won't be able to win Daekook Confectionery...

by making plain macarons.

I thought you said my worries would go away if I kept this, Jae Min.

Seo Jun!

What is it?

Bring me some edible markers and more piping bags.

Got it.

These shell-shaped macaron shells...

are turning into pretty and colorful mermaid beds.

Oh, goodness! Look at this, everyone.

Isn't it so pretty?

I don't think I can eat it because it's too pretty.

It's being sold at a special price of 30 dollars only on this show today.

Why is she only advertising Daekook Confectionery?

They didn't even show Seon Hwa's face once.

Just hold on. I'm sure they'll do it fairly.

Will we be able to win like this?

I'm so upset.

Mrs. Yoon has been showing us how to make jogaeron.

Is this a process of making macaron shells too?

Sure. It's a process of tapping lightly to get rid of the air bubbles.

If you skip this step before baking the macaron shells,

you might end up with macaron shells that are empty inside.

We usually call those holecaron.

I see. Holecaron is such an interesting name.

Actually, the term fat macaron originated from Korea, too, right?

That's right.

Now, shall we see what Hanok Bakery has prepared this time?

Bong Seon Hwa. Your samples are ruined,

and you can only demonstrate with plain macarons.

You should just give up now.

It's over, anyway.

Jae Gyeong! Let's go! You can do this!

The fillings for Hanok Bakery's macarons are so colorful!

Hello, I'm Bong Seon Hwa from Hanok Bakery.

Hanok Bakery is well-known for using natural ingredients.

Yes. These are made out of natural ingredients too.

Our macaron fillings are fully made with natural powders,

such as sweet pumpkin, spinach, black sesame, and beet.

And this product has been in high demand, right?

That's right.

We also added handmade blueberry jam and raspberry jam to the fillings...

to create a sweeter and more refreshing taste.

The colors are lovely too. They're so pretty.

But nowadays, macaron shells have diversified a lot.

Daekook chose the shell-shaped ones under the theme of a mermaid's bed.

For Hanok, are you making normal macarons without any special theme?

Well...

Of course, we have a theme too.

She has a theme?

Is that so? I wonder what the theme is.

There's such a variety!

It's not just normal macarons.

Oh, goodness.

The macarons have cartoon characters and letters drawn on them!

The theme of Hanok Bakery is...

"My lovely one-of-a-kind macaron."

Oh, I see! "My lovely one-of-a-kind macaron."

That's such an interesting theme!

If there are cartoon characters you like...

or words to deliver your feelings through this gift,

you can send them to us.

We will carefully put your hearts...

into these macarons and send them to you.

So I guess there will be a variety of products.

Well, yes. I guess so.

But there must be a basic shape for the shells, right?

Yes. The samples you see in front are the basic shapes.

And we'll also be selling at a discounted price.

Please apply for it!

Seon Hwa is so good at this!

She doesn't look nervous at all.

But why is she so pretty?

The fillings for Hanok Bakery's macarons are so colorful!

The colors are lovely. They're so pretty.

What?

Seon Hwa!

That's the worry doll I gave her.

Finally, it's the moment everyone has been waiting for.

The sales graphs are going up beside me.

Who will be the winner of today's contest?

I can't wait to know.

It's a neck-to-neck race that's impossible to predict.

Will it be Daekook Confectionery or Hanok Bakery?

Which macarons did our viewers buy more?

Is it Daekook Confectionery's jogaeron...

or Hanok Bakery's customized macarons?

The results will be out soon.

What do you think, Mrs. Yoon?

Are you confident?

Of course. Daekook Confectionery is a company that everyone knows.

And you'd know that I've studied in France too.

I'm confident.

All right. What about you, Seon Hwa?

What do you think?

Are you sure you won't embarrass Master Bae?

Yes. I'm confident of winning.

We made our macarons with communication and authentic ingredients.

I see. Both of them are very confident about their sales.

Now, let's see which macarons our viewers liked more.

It's almost the closing time now.

Please hurry up, everyone.

We're closing soon.

Let's countdown to the closing.

Five, four,

three,

two, one!

Please show us the results!

(Hanok Bakery's victory!)

Hanok Bakery has won the first sales match...

against Daekook Confectionery!

Congratulations, Hanok Bakery!

What is this? It must be wrong!

You must've planned all this from the start!

- Mother... - They must've made a mistake, Jae Gyeong!

Let me go!

- Please calm down. - Let go!

Hey, just stop it!

Get off!

Seon Hwa won, Father!

Of course, she would win. Why are you so surprised?

Seon Hwa!

You managed to extricate yourself again like a weasel.

But you were just lucky today.

So you know that I have good luck.

Even if you continue to pull tricks, I'll continue to be lucky. So watch out.

Shut it.

Here's a piece of advice for you.

Instead of coming up with funny ideas,

try to play fair and square.

What was that dirty move?

You just tarnished Daekook Confectionery's name.

You think you have the world because you won this match, right?

I'll see how long you can hold your head up high.

I'll crush you down next time. You better be ready for it.

Jae Gyeong!

Jae Gyeong.

Goodness. Jae Gyeong.

Seon Hwa.

Not only were your products sold out, but you won too.

You were amazing.

Congratulations, Seon Hwa.

Thank you.

But who is that lady?

She is Jae Gyeong's birth mother.

Pardon? Her birth mother?

That's right. We never imagined it either.

So Mrs. Joo wasn't her real mother.

How did you know we were shooting there?

I couldn't stay focused because of you.

You're not making sense.

You didn't even say hello and were doing just fine.

Nothing works out because of you, Mom.

The first thing you do when you see me is to get irritated?

You should've stayed in the States.

Why did you come and try to give me a hard time?

You shouldn't be like that.

Even though I'm of no use to you,

someday, you'll need me.

Are you trying to make matters worse?

Why would I need you? That should never happen.

I ran out of money.

No matter how much I try to pinch pennies,

you never have enough money, living far from home.

I don't have money to give you.

How cold-hearted you are.

Okay. Please hold up your glasses.

Here's to congratulate Seon Hwa on her first win.

- Cheers! - Cheers!

It's amazing how you turned things around during a crisis.

You did a great job, Seon Hwa.

If that had happened to me, I would've felt helpless and at a loss.

You're truly amazing.

That's a big compliment. I'm so flattered.

We don't know how it will go in the second round, though.

- Please have some, Father. - Sure.

You have some too.

- Good evening. - Oh, my.

Hey, welcome.

Congratulations, Seon Hwa.

These flowers are for your victory.

Barbecue is the best to celebrate a victory.

Oh, please leave them there.

What are those packages for?

It's for Ms. Jung and Mr. Bae. Please have them and feel rejuvenated.

You must've spent all your paycheck on them.

Thank you. We'll make sure to have them.

Come and join us, Private Yoon.

How nice.

Seon Hwa.

Yes?

Our company was humiliated nationwide today.

A major company like ours lost to a small bakery.

Do you think this makes sense?

I'm sorry.

It's not that Jae Gyeong didn't do well.

She did well,

but the customers seemed to have liked how they could send messages.

I see you're taking your wife's side.

And you should.

Dad, the sales have increased, though.

So, you fixed the time for the infomercial again?

It was noted in the contract that we competed twice.

If you lose to Hanok Bakery again,

our company will have to close down, so do it properly. Got it?

Yes, I'll keep it in mind.

I've lost my appetite.

Seon Hwa, your mom isn't dead.

Go and meet Sister Maria at the church.

Please forgive me.

Grandma.

What did she mean by this?

My mom is alive?

Bok Soon,

it says that my birth mother is alive.

By the way, who do I look like more between Mom and Dad?

I wish we had a photo of Mom, at least.

What would you need her pictures for?

They were all burnt in a fire.

This is what Grandma told me.

She said that my parents had passed away when I was little.

I can't believe this.

I'm so happy for you, Seon Hwa.

This is great news.

You startled me.

Jae Min.

I just found out that my mom is alive.

What do you mean by that?

My birth mother, who I believed had passed away,

is living somewhere out there.

Pardon?

Is this true?

Yes, it says here that she is alive.

What do I do now?

Where should I go to ask about her?

Hello.

Yes, this is Bong Seon Hwa.

Sorry? Sister Maria?

(The Second Husband)

Why aren't you here yet? You said you'd be here soon.

You see, something came up at work.

What came up so suddenly?

How long will it take?

Please tell us the result soon.

They might be looking for Seon Hwa as well.

You're always there for me.

You're the one who always cares about me.

What do you want me to do?

Can't we keep seeing each other secretly like this?

I think I still love you, Sang Hyuk.

Jae Gyeong and Sang Hyuk, you guys don't deserve to be happy.
