All language subtitles for Wok.of.Love E02

I had my first fortune cookie
when I was 15 in the US,

at a Chinese restaurant in San Francisco.

The cookie with a note inside

that tells your fortune?

Yes. I can never forget it.

What did it say?

It's better to trust a dog in heat
than a man.

-You trust me though, right?
-Of course.

Fortune cookies are a joke.
They're just for fun.

You really are a gangster.

Stop.

Keep the lady out of it, okay?

You're not married yet?

I'm getting married tomorrow. Why?

Since you hit me,
I can say something, right?

-Don't get married.
-What was that?

Later on. Let's get married. Okay?

Why?

Divorce is too hard.

You're insane.

I'll go now.

Don't go.

Why not? You can fight.
Keep the lady out of it.

Stupid weddings don't matter at all.

Don't get married.

I said I'll make you jjajangmyeon.

Don't do it.

My wedding is stupid?

No. It's much worse.

Weddings are a scam.

You exchange rings
and promise to love each other

until you're gray and old.

It's a total scam.

She just cursed, right?

I think so.

Did you understand that?

Curse so we can understand.

Don't babble in English.

Yes? What about a man?

-Dog.
-What about a dog?

Are you saying I, a man,

am worse than a dog in heat?

You

weren't talking about me,

were you?

Are you a woman, Mr. Gangster?

-Hey! Look at him.
-You little...

Exactly!

Why are male dogs

telling me not to get married?

How could you say my wedding is stupid?

How could you tell a bride
who's getting married tomorrow

not to get married
because divorce is too hard?

That's nonsense.

That's not something

a person would say.

Am I wrong?

My groom

grows his hair if I tell him to.

If I say I hate buzz cuts,
he says he hates them too.

If I tell him to perm his bangs, he does.

Haven't you been married
for only a month now?

It was exactly one month before me.

Did this happen in just a month?

How could love change?

-Are you busy tomorrow?
-Why?

-Are you busy?
-Yes, I am.

Come anyway. You're busy, right?

-I'm not--
-Come anyway.

Here. You don't have to bring
a wedding gift,

so all of you, come to my wedding tomorrow

and enjoy a good meal.

Let's say you made me the jjajangmyeon.

You must have been divorced
several times, Mr. Gangster.

That's how you know it's hard.

I'll be waiting for you both.

I really want to treat you. Please.

My dress is sleeveless,
but I cut up my elbows.

You'd better come!
I'll kill you all if you don't!

Boss. Are you really going to the wedding?

Boss.

The eight-orders guy is leaving.

Hey! We have a long way to go.

Will you back up, or should we go to you?

Just eat all the jjajangmyeons
that you ordered.

We won't ask for anything else.

If I step foot in that stinky restaurant
again, I'll drive a stake through my hand.

Are you done?

I'm Seo Pung from the Chinese restaurant

at Giant Hotel across the street.

Bring me black bean paste,
and I'll make you jjajangmyeon anytime.

I can teach you a few things.

Mr. Yong, these are
the personnel changes for the quarter.

Seriously. Why did you follow me here?

You have to announce it in the morning.

It's annoying. Let's just use this.

-Pardon?
-Can't I?

Yes, sir.

Why are there so many things to approve?

My toes have gotten much stronger
compared to last month.

Yes, sir.

The chairman says

you work out too much
and that you need to cut down a little.

Let me confirm something.
The sous-chef at the Chinese restaurant.

Seo Pung?

-I did as you ordered.
-Okay.

If we see you ever again,

we'll submerge you in black bean paste
for a month.

Newlywed or not,

I don't care.

We'll make sure
every white part of your body

will be dyed completely black.

You're done peeing now. Why?

Because the sauce will block your hole.

That will hurt like crazy.

Hey. Is that what you want?

So make sure to avoid us. Don't cross over

to that side of the street.

Got that?

Bye. Make sure to wash up.

Stay for dinner.

I'm sure you didn't eat yet.

I'll make you wonton noodles.

I won't make it spicy since it's late.

Give it to me. I'll throw it out.

She'll be married tomorrow.

What will you do with her address
and invitation?

Should I cook it up for you?

-Where are you going?
-Where are you going?

Boss!

This is nice. We don't need divorce papers

since we never registered our marriage.

Come home.

I just moved the rest of my things out.

I'm sure the guests who came will talk,
but it won't last three days.

Do you want to say you dumped me

or that I ended it?

I can become the bitch
who regretted getting married

from the moment we left on our honeymoon,
and cheated on you.

-Who is he?
-Why do you care?

-Since when?
-Whenever it was,

it changes nothing.

All of that is meaningless.

I just don't want to be with you.

I won't give up on you.

Dal-hui, your father...

supported me with the money he made
selling jjajangmyeon.

Your father

asked me to take care of you
until the moment he died.

I...

was embarrassed that my father
ran a Chinese restaurant.

I'll be embarrassed that my child's dad
runs a Chinese restaurant too.

Stop talking like a brat!

I'm sick and tired
of the smell of black bean paste.

Let's end it.

I'm not going to make jjajangmyeon here.

Sorry

for hesitating. I shouldn't have
gone through with the wedding.

Sir.

Hi, Seol-ja.
You're so busy even late at night.

This is what you wanted, right?

No, not Madam's.

You know. Mine. The purple one.
The long one with flowers here.

Got it.

Do you want to wear it now?

Hurry it up! Madam will get there first.

Found it.

Here.

You look pretty.

You shouldn't say things like that.

Things are a big mess lately
because of the Me Too movement.

You should be careful. Good night.

Sweetie. Did you land?

We're just taking off.

I won't land until morning.

Okay.

Babe, sorry but

I want to go straight to the wedding hall.
Can you pick up my tux and shoes

from the store for me?

Don't worry about a thing.
Sleep on the plane and have a safe trip.

-Sweetie.
-Yes?

I'll give you one last chance.

Do you want to marry me?

Don't you want to date freely,

love, and live without any restraints

instead of getting married?

Tell me if you don't want
to become a married man. It's okay.

Not at all. What's gotten into you?

I gave you a chance. A chance to run away.

Okay.

You won't get sick of me
in less than a month too, will you?

I love you.

Me too.

See you tomorrow.

Taxi.

-Oh my gosh.
-Get in.

I'll take you home.

Why would I get in your car?
Just keep moving.

I was on my way to your place.

Are you stalking me?

How do you know where I live?

You gave me an invitation earlier.

Your address was on it.

I take back what I said
about you coming to my wedding.

A bride getting married tomorrow
shouldn't take a taxi.

It's dangerous. Get in. Come on.

You're much more dangerous than a taxi,
Mr. Gangster.

It's nowhere near as dangerous
as getting married.

-What?
-Got it. Just a minute.

Wait right there.

What the... Of all the...

I didn't get to say it properly earlier.

What?

What would a gangster and I
possibly have to talk about?

I will never go after a married woman.

So?

After tomorrow,
you won't have a chance to have me.

Oh dear. What a waste.

Fine.

I don't have to apologize for being crazy

and instantly falling for you

just before you got married, do I?

Since you're not married yet.

Since today...

you're single.

I wish you happiness
for a long, long time.

What's it to you?

Please go.

Shit. What's wrong with this?

Leave. Go.

Okay!

Okay!

This is a surprise.

You hate coming to the hotel
because of your husband.

I ended it with him,

so I just have to have Pung
catch me with you.

Okay. That's a surefire method.

I deserve to be struck by lightning.

I want to enjoy the future a little more.

See? This is fun.

Mom.

I'm heading to the salon now.

I'm going to pick up
Oh-jik's tux and shoes on the way,

so you pick up the bouquet
and boutonniere and come to the hall.

Okay.

HUNGRY FRYPAN

PERMANENTLY CLOSED

Closed?

What are you doing?

Who says you can close the restaurant?

How could you go bankrupt
without my permission?

I'm against this.

Buy some puffed rice.

Hey. You lied about the building,
didn't you?

You say you own the entire building,
but you close shop

because business is a little slow?

What am I supposed to do?

You should continue
being a caretaker at the hospital.

Why do you come here every day
like a peddler?

We're closing because of you.

I saw you take our money and...

eat jjajangmyeon somewhere else.

You bastard! Imagine how bad it was
for me to do that?

Yours taste bad.

Hey! You need my permission

before you close the restaurant!

You little brats. Hey!

Hey. Open this door.

Open up, punks!

I'll knock this door down.

Hey!

I'll die if you do this.

Dang it.

It isn't here.

Why doesn't he keep that in stock?

It'll be such a pain if we get pregnant.

Your name is Im Keok-jeong, correct?

Not Im Keok-jeong,

but Im Geok-jeong.

Okay, my apologies.

It's a wedding gift,

so I'd like a bank check for
a million won, please.

A crisp new bill, please.

Bank checks are all new.

Here you go.

Is this what a condom looks like?
I've never seen one before.

Is it for your son?

Congratulations, Chef Pung.

Hey.

They're announcing
the personnel changes today.

It's obvious.

You made this a six-star hotel.

Right?

Good morning.

Stand clear of the closing door.

You and Seo Pung are in charge
of purchasing ingredients, right?

The bird's nests from Indonesia.
Instead of Yenwu,

you secretly bought Ensui,
which is 10 percent cheaper.

You got sharks' fins from the Philippines
instead of Hong Kong.

They cost 60,000 won per kg,

but you pretended they were 600,000 won!

But... Sorry... I mean, I apologize.

I'll promote you to first wok.

Yes, sir. What?

You didn't do it.

Pung did it.

Yes.

You think Pung likes you as a cook,
don't you?

-If not?
-He'll never

let a woman cook in his kitchen.

He'll make women chop onions forever.

How long will you just work
the chopping board?

You're fired.

Don't you know

our hotel doesn't permit receiving tips?

I'm sorry, Chef.

I saw Sous Chef Pung

make expensive dishes after hours
for personal use

and take them out of the hotel
countless times.

Okay.

Wok, fire.

Knife, fire.

Hall, fire.

Kiddo, you've been promoted.

It's all thanks to you.

"Gung Rae-yeon. Head manager."

Hey, you made manager.

Congrats.

Okay! Quiet! Next!

Who's next? Me. Maeng Sam-seon.

Maeng Sam-seon! Congrats, man!

Thanks, friend.

It's all thanks to you.

But your name isn't there.

The second page is for transfers.

NEW ROLE: CHEF
NAME: SEO PUNG, PROMOTION

It's technically a promotion.

-He's being transferred out.
-Where?

What the heck

is Dragon Palace?

-Sir.
-Yes?

You see the line from here to here?

The fit is important.

-Yes, sir.
-Do you like it?

-Thank you, sir!
-Thank you, sir!

Pick out another one each.

-Do you mean it?
-Thank you, sir!

-Thank you, sir!
-Thank you, sir!

You must really be rich.

I hear this tiny thing
costs 10 million won.

But it looks great on you.

Things that sparkle and say,
"I'm expensive," are too tacky.

-Get me something else.
-Yes, sir. Give me one minute.

Excuse me, sir. I'm sorry.

It's okay. Don't you serve tea
or anything here?

Why is it so crowded?

Hello. I'm here to pick up the tuxedo.

Okay. Give me a minute. Mr. Park.

Yes, sir.

Excuse me, sir. Did you pick up something
from the floor

after we bumped into each other earlier?

-I think it fell out of the pouch.
-I did not.

-But--
-Why are you accusing me?

How dare you do this to a customer?

Miss Kim, what is it? This...

What is it?

What's wrong?

She's treating me like some thief.

This is unfair. This is so unfair.

See? I don't have it.

What?

If you don't trust me,
check your security video!

Why you...

Excuse me, I don't have time.

I'll come back after I pick up the shoes
next door.

-I'm sorry.
-Sure.

What are you doing?

Step aside.

Hey.

-Oh my gosh.
-Stay still.

What...

-Let go.
-Get lost.

I won't get lost. Let go.

You.

You.

You.

I thought you'd be happy.
It's a promotion.

And your salary was doubled.

You're going from sous chef to chef.

You're the head chef now.

Your dream came true,
so what's with the face?

Exactly!

What exactly is this Dragon Palace?

Did you think we didn't know?

You got us two Michelin stars

and filled up our banquet halls.

Thanks to that we got an additional star
and became a six-star hotel.

It's only because
we gave you credit for that.

Sorry?

I'll speak with Mr. Wi.

-That's the president's vacation house.
-What do you want me to do there?

What you always do.

Wait for him to come
three to four times a year,

and let my wok, my knife,
and my skills get rusty?

Me, who cooked for thousands a day?

You embezzled money
for imported ingredients,

used restaurant ingredients
for personal use and took them out.

We may have to reinstate the system
we removed for human rights issues.

We'll strip all the kitchen and hall staff
and search them every night!

Mr. Wi!

You should be thankful
we're not sending you to jail.

Rude punk. You think we can't do it
without you, right?

What do you take us for?

This hotel's main attraction
is the Chinese restaurant,

and the restaurant's main attraction
is me,

Seo Pung.

The restaurant won't survive without me.

MY WIFE DAL-HUI

Thanks, friend. Thanks.

There's no job

where a worker is irreplaceable.

Wake up.

I'll talk to Mr. Yong.

Where...

is he?

Are you sure there isn't a thief in here?

No. It really wasn't me.

-How could I steal--
-Find it.

Hold on.

Hey.

Sir, may I look for that little thief?

Yes, sir.

A blind spot that the cameras
could not catch.

Do you have evidence it's my man?

I doubt he'll show us willingly,
so I'll look for it myself.

If you want to find that evidence
that doesn't exist,

do it after you take down everyone here.

Fine.

No. Three minutes.
Wait just three minutes.

Take care of it.

It'll be dangerous,

so stay in there. There.

Me?

The tuxedo.

-Sir.
-Yes.

-Come here.
-Oh my gosh.

Oh no.

Please get my tuxedo.

I'll send you to that wretched wedding
no matter what it takes,

so stay inside.

Oh no.

I'm going to borrow this.

Screw that.

Hey!

-Are you okay?
-Yes.

Stop right there!

-Stop!
-Thank you.

-Mr. Yong. That--
-I hate running.

-What's the groom's name?
-Na Oh-jik.

Na Oh-jik.

Who's the owner here?
Get us Na Oh-jik's shoes.

Yes, sir.

Hurry it up. Get over there.

Come.

Thank you.

Hand it over, you thief.

Here they are.

Hold this.

Why you little... I'm tired now.

You should've just handed them over.

Here. I found the evidence.

But you'll have to wash them.

Get up. Hey.

I'm sorry. I apologize.

-Okay.
-Okay.

Three minutes.

Sunglasses.

Here you go. Thank you.

Didn't you say you were late?

-Yes.
-Don't show your face

in front of me again.

Please get lost.

Okay.

Throw him out.

Seo Pung wants to see you himself
in your office.

He does?

I'll go to him then.

Wait outside!

No one comes in until I say so.

Everyone leave the restaurant.

Let's have the executives meeting
downstairs as scheduled.

Let's go.

Get moving!

Send everyone out.

Go.

Let's go.

You son of a bitch!

You asshole.

You're no man!

I'm not a man? Really?

Then did Dr. Seok Dal-hui love an animal?

Shut up.

I don't want to fight near my assets.

That was you last night, right?

We were caught, right?

I have no intention of ending it.

That was just a warning.

You should know when to end it.

You should know when to leave.

You were born to rich parents

and came to this hotel three months ago,

but I spent 10 years

here at this hotel, working day and night,

killing myself over 10 hours a day

I can't say I'll leave as easily as you.

It's infuriating.

You end it.

No.

You leave.

I wanted...

to make at least this kitchen mine,

to earn it...

I worked my ass off
to become number one here,

chopping and frying like a mad man.

But...

all you do is come in every day
and work out with other dudes,

and eat the delicious food I made.

All you do is exercise.

How dare you talk to me that way?

All I do is exercise? That's all I do?

We'll practice the march

before the actual ceremony.

Here comes the bride!

-How pretty.
-She looks so pretty.

Thank you.

We decided

that I'll walk down the aisle before him.

He said he prepared a performance for me.

What could it be?

Here comes the groom.

You're all dead!

Is the groom not here yet?

You didn't run away, did you?

Okay, I'll call for him one more time.

Here comes the groom!

What the...

Don't go.

-Why that...
-Don't.

Don't go.

Here comes the groom!

I'm Ahn Tae-jun. I'm a prosecutor.

Dan Seung-gi.

You are under arrest
for dereliction of duty.

As per the Criminal Procedure Act,
you're arrested without a warrant.

You have the right to an attorney
and to protest,

and you may defend yourself if you wish.

Dad.

I...

Wait.

How humiliating.

-What's going on?
-Ma'am!

-Ma'am!
-Mom.

-Oh no!
-Honey.

-Wake up!
-Mr. Na!

Get back on the plane.

-Hold on.
-Ambulance!

-Call an ambulance!
-Oh no.

Sae-u, don't worry.

Take care of Mom.

We need an ambulance.

-Oh-jik.
-This is the hospital.

The test results are out.

You need to come in.

It's stage-four cancer.

Father,

what do I do now?

It's all my fault!

It's my fault I was born this way!

I'm sorry I met Dal-hui!

I'm sorry for making jjajangmyeon

and for breathing!

It's all my fault!

Seo Pung! It's all your fault!

It's all your fault.

ONE WEEK LATER

It's been a week,
but you still can't get this out.

It's like the knife has a grudge.
It won't come out.

-What?
-Sorry, sir.

Please go in for now.

I know knives.

It isn't about strength.

I will remove it.

Here.

HUNGRY FRYPAN

STORE FOR RENT

PERMANENTLY CLOSED

PERMANENTLY CLOSED

Hurry it up!

Room service! Ten more orders
of Buddha's Temptation and bird's nest!

-Yes, ma'am!
-Yes, ma'am!

Bo-ra!

Yes, Wok Chief! I'll go get 10 servings.

Wok Chief? I wondered who...

Me. It's me. Wok Chief.

Hey, Noodle Chief.

This isn't your first day
riding the bamboo tree.

I'm not doing well today.

Ride it smoothly like a seesaw.
Like a seesaw.

Listen. I think we should
think of the kitchen

as our playground. That's my motto.

I'm having so much fun!
Working is fun! It's so much fun!

-It's so much fun!
-It's so much fun!

Service!

-Service!
-Service!

Service!

-Service!
-Service!

More fire. More chopping.

Hurry it up. Hurry it up. Fire!

-Fire!
-Fire!

Based on the imaging,

it's lymphosarcoma.
There are tumors in the

lymphatic system, which is responsible for
the immune system.

It's stage four.
It'll be difficult even with surgery.

There isn't much time left.

Do you want the surgery?

Or would you prefer to prepare for death?

My husband...

ran away.

My dad was sent to jail.

And my mom fainted.

Stage four.
Stage-four cancer on top of that.

You're telling me

to die, right?

-Are you okay?
-Boss.

Hold on.

-What?
-A punk is here seeking for a loan.

You. Get over here.

I told you not to be disrespectful
and call our clients "punks."

Even if he is a client, he's still a punk.

-He's a punk.
-Which punk is it?

DEBT AND SHADOW

He came.

Why is your business name
"Debt and Shadow"?

If you owe us a debt,

we'll follow you like your shadow
and get our money.

Enough.

There's a second meaning.

It means that's why
you shouldn't borrow money

from a gangster.

Enough.

Lend me some money. 50 million won.

-For what?
-I hear the Chinese restaurant is yours.

That's not all.
This entire building is his.

-Fifty million won.
-The moment you borrow from us,

we'll become your shadow.
Can you handle that?

Didn't you say you were a cook at a hotel?

Even your jjajangmyeon was gross.

No wonder you went under.

I plan to open a restaurant there.

I'll steal all of Giant Hotel's customers.

I created and made dishes there
and sold them for 100,000 won.

I'll use the same ingredients and skills

but charge just a tenth of the price.

I'll make sure not a single person
goes to Giant Hotel.

I'm going to get revenge.

So...

I need to open a restaurant
right in front of them.

Where the hotel is only a few steps away.

I'll steal all the customers headed
to the twenty-first floor...

from the first floor right here.

Go ahead. Succeed or fail, we don't care.

What's your collateral?

My wok.

You've got to be shitting me.

-My ladle, which is like my life.
-Like hell.

Give your old frying pan and ladle
to the dogs.

You lied about being a hotel chef,
didn't you?

If you can't pay interest
for the 50 million won,

we'll chop off your fingers

and put them in the complimentary
dumplings with deliveries.

You have only 10 fingers, right?
You'll need at least 100.

I won't send complimentary dumplings
with my deliveries.

Hey!

I won't win

using free food.

Strip. We warned you last time.

We closed shop,
so we've got plenty of black bean paste.

Take off your clothes. All of it.

Good timing. Take him out.

-Get out.
-Get out.

Enough.

-Get out.
-You, get out.

He says to get out. Get out.

You guys get out.

What's wrong with you? Seriously.

Why you...

You said you knew knives.

Sorry, sir.

It won't come out.

The grudge must run very deep.

You shouldn't borrow money recklessly
from gangster thugs.

Are you turning me down?

Two things.

Gang-ho, what is that? It's falling off.

Tape it back up. Make it look good.

Maeng-dal.

Let's put up a poster
instead of a flimsy sheet of paper.

We put up a piece of paper,

so a shithead came to us
saying he wants to run a restaurant.

Should I order a poster?

HUNGRY FRYPAN

Let's go.

Let's go, Immar.

Let's go. I said let's go.

Do you have carrots?

-Can't you read?
-There's no way you'd have one?

There's no way you'd give me one?

-What?
-Is that how the world works?

What is she saying? We have nothing.

Give me a break.

It's not just the horse.
Human's are starving too.

Come in. I can at least give you water.

I want to starve to death.

It would be better to starve to death.

Let's go.

Two things.

One. Teach my boys how to cook.

And two.

Use my boys in the kitchen as cooks.

That's right. I...

want my boys

to open a Chinese restaurant
in some remote town,

and live ordinary lives
like everyone else. Fall in love,

get married,

and...

have kids. I want to provide that

-as their big brother.
-No.

-Please.
-Those people aren't cooks,

but gangsters who play with knives
in front of the fire.

I won't take

the 50-million-won deposit.

How can I get revenge with gangsters
with no skills?

Why am I trying to run a restaurant
on the first floor here?

-You.
-What?

Otherwise, you can never do business here.

And you.

Either you do it with my boys,

or go somewhere random

and get revenge on some random hotel.

The choice is yours. Now go.

I will pay rent.

Please prepare the lease.

My gosh.

What did it eat?

Shit.

What is this?

A horse marked its territory.

It took a big dump and left.

A horse marked... Shit.

Hey. Take that down.

I said to take it down.

Did you really rent it out to that punk?

Yes.

Return to work tomorrow. Got that?

-What?
-What?

You!

Clean this up.

-Marking its territory. Shit.
-Why do I have to do all the dirty work?

Did you enjoy the food?

We made these fortune cookies ourselves.

-It'll bring you luck.
-Thank you.

Thank you. Have a nice day.

FINISHING TOUCH

Hey! Why are you--

-Me?
-My friend.

Maeng-wok. How about

you leave with me
and make some proper crayfish?

You said Chef's recipe was too spicy too.

You're the knife, and I'm the wok.

We were a perfect combo.

I need a good knife like you
so I can use my wok right.

I need you.

Bo-ra, let's go. Please?

Hey! Why aren't you
dragging him out of here?

Let go!

I'll trust the hall with you
and all the money.

Ms. Gung.

Rae-yeon. Don't worry about them.
Leave with me.

If the four of us band together,
we'll be invincible!

We can surpass Finishing Touch in no time.

Do it with me.

I was a fool.

I didn't want to believe it,
but I was right.

I was foolish.

-Come down.
-Hey.

Why are you taking those?

These are mine.

My father-in-law gave them to me.

Don't be like that.

Don't worry. I'll never come back again.

I came to get what I left behind.

FINISHING TOUCH

Are you going to die?

I'm not sure.

I want to scream and then think about it.

Why are you wearing that?

The world is too scary.

It's a little less scary with this on.

I'm so scared of living that I want to die

just like you.

Even if we do die,

how about we eat these first
before we fall?

Me too.

What does it say?

What does yours say?

She's our first customer.

That customer doesn't seem
right in the head.

She isn't normal.

-I want the surgery.
-Surgery won't provide a cure.

With chemotherapy, it'll get expensive.

Are you ready? Knife, fire.

What are you trying to pull?

Let's kill him tonight.

-Hey!
-You scumbags are worse than shit.

Are you hiring?

You've lost your mind
because of all the fine dust!

Please lend me money and become my light.

Take that off.

Do I have to take it off
to borrow money here?

You have to be my light, Mr. Gangster.
