ST. MILLER KUNST GALLERY

If it wasn't for Modigliani, I'd never go to that party.

They're too busy flaunting their money to care about the party.

Still…

you need to meet all sorts of people

to broaden your horizons.

-Because what's real can -Because what's real can

-only be found within the world. -only be found within the world.

By the way,

what have you been munching on?

Are you having chips?

Da-li, have you been skipping your meals because you've been studying?

How many days did you starve this time?

I didn't starve.

Don't lie.

A true adult never skips meals or loses sleep.

Didn't I tell you numerous times

to at least set an alarm so that you won't forget to eat?

Who cares if you're the youngest person with that title or have a doctorate

if you can't even eat properly?

Is there no food?

I'm sure there is.

I'm sure Ms. Prinsen bought some food.

It feels like I'm in Korea.

What?

Hearing you nag makes me feel like I'm home right now.

You little brat. Don't change the subject.

I miss you, Dad.

It's been way too long, hasn't it?

Goodness. Don't pretend to miss me

when you can't even eat properly. Goodness.

Speaking of which, I'm planning to make time to visit.

I'd like to say hi to Director Koch.

But most of all, I need to check on you.

Once this exhibition is over…

What?

Hello?

KOREAN NATIVE PIG

BERKSHIRE

DUROC

YORKSHIRE

DONDON F&B FW SEASON NEW MENU EXHIBITION

This premium gamjatang has been created to be served

at five-star hotels.

This dish will be able to satisfy the needs of our diverse

and sophisticated guests.

I guarantee it.

The meat tastes different.

I knew it. You have a discerning palate.

To suit the concept of a premium dish at a 5-star hotel,

we handpicked the best cuts of Iberian pork,

which is one of the top four delicacies in the world.

and prepared it accordingly.

I see.

It's no wonder.

While eating this I felt like I was a matador, fighting for his life

under the hot, burning sun.

I knew it.

Here you go.

This is fried rice to finish off the dish.

Regular fried rice can't hold a candle to this.

Instead of using flying fish roe,

I used Russian caviar

and cooked it on high heat.

This is unbelievable.

Do you mean this is the same caviar Russians use

when cooking food for their tzars?

This is the most sophisticated Korean dish that we can share with the world.

What a load of garbage.

A load of…

Sorry?

Tell me.

How much will this cost?

The cost…

Befitting the terms "premium" and a "five-star hotel",

a medium-size

will cost 180,000 won.

So 180,000…

Sorry?

So 180,000 won?

I don't think you understand.

Iberian pork and Russian caviar are quite expensive so…

What is gamjatang?

It's a filling, inexpensive dish for regular people.

That's what it is.

Inexpensive, plentiful, and filling!

That's what it needs to be.

Iberian pig? Caviar?

Why do we need to be reminded of Spain and matadors while eating this?

It was a poetic way of explaining the taste.

What a load of garbage.

It really isn't…

Come on.

I didn't postpone my business trip to hear this load of garbage.

This business trip is worth 20 billion won.

Understand?

Give me my money's worth.

Please!

Gosh.

Darn it.

An attendant will be waiting for you when you land,

so you won't have to do anything.

The team and I will depart as soon as the legal advice is carried out.

By the way,

about that "tzar"…

What gives that scumbag the right to have the caviar all to himself?

Well…

It's not some scumbag, it means a Russian emperor.

I see. A Russian emperor.

You could've just said "Russian emperor." Did you want to show off by using English?

It's Russian, not English.

I know. I know that. Don't take it so literally.

If it means a Russian emperor, of course it's a Russian word, not English.

"Tzar"! It sounds Russian.

It also sounds the same in English.

By the way,

will you be wearing that watch?

You'll have to declare it at customs. And it's very expensive.

What are you talking about?

Luxury items should be worn at times like this.

If not, why would I buy such an expensive watch

when my phone can tell the time too?

I see.

Look.

I need to wear this to astound them.

FATHER

Yes?

Did you lend money without my knowing?

What do you mean all of a sudden?

Hey. Did you lend money to an art gallery or a museum?

I never…

Do you think I have money to burn?

I'd be crazy to lend them money.

Then why did Cheongsong Museum of Art send you a chamber pot?

When I asked, they said it was a token of gratitude for the loan.

Jeez. What is wrong with him?

Whatever. I know nothing about that. I'm sure they were mistaken.

But you shouldn't break their chamber pot.

Let Ms. Yeo take care of it. I'll send her to you.

Enough with this. Where are you right now?

You had a tasting today for our new dish. Are you still at work?

I'm not at work right now.

I'm at the airport. I'm going on a business trip today.

For the contract deal with the Pork Association in the Netherlands.

Postpone your business trip. Come back right now!

-Come back here and… -Dad.

My flight is about to take off. I have to hang up.

Hello?

What is this?

No…

Gosh…

You brat.

How dare you?

Hey!

Stop right there!

You brat! Hey!

Stop right there!

I'll go and earn my keep!

You brat! You're dead meat when you come back!

-Don't just stand there! Pull it out! -Yes, sir.

Pull it out now!

Yes, sir.

The number you have dialed cannot be reached.

Come on, answer the phone.

A gallery?

It's not just some gallery. It's Cheongsong Museum of Art.

I'm sure you know that not getting invited to their year-end party

would cause people to look down on you no matter how much money you have.

Why would a prominent gallery like that want to borrow money from me?

To be precise, it's an investment.

Cheongsong Museum of Art would make a fortune

if they were to sell one of their paintings.

Why would they need our money?

Then tell them to sell their paintings.

Come on, man.

How much longer do you want to be looked down on

as the son of a gamjatang restaurant owner?

-What? -Money isn't the only prerequisite

to being in the upper class.

We need status.

That's why we need Cheongsong Museum of Art.

So are you telling me that lending money to Cheongsong Museum of Art

will give us status as wealthy men?

No one uses words like "wealthy" anymore.

It's all about the inner circle.

Look, this is how you network.

It's how you do business.

Korea has always been like this.

Forget it.

I'm not interested in this nonsense. I'm off.

Are you brushing me off because I'm not your biological brother?

-Gi-cheol. -If I were his biological son,

I wouldn't…

grovel to you like this.

It's just that this is a great opportunity. That's all.

Please?

The number you have dialed…

Whatever.

It was my money. What can Dad do about that?

Right.

Call the General Affairs Department.

And cancel Mu-hak's credit cards!

Pardon? He's on a business trip to the Netherlands.

I don't care about his trip! Just do as I say.

-Hurry! -Yes, sir.

I told you to wrap up before the visitors come in.

What are you doing here?

Mr. Hwang.

Mr. Hwang.

What a beauty. Right?

It's one of the reasons to stay here

despite the low salary.

Should I get jjajangmyeon or jjamppong?

Pardon?

I'm talking about my lunch.

What about you? Did you decide?

Then you weren't admiring the work?

Deciding on what to eat for lunch is so hard.

It's life's biggest question.

In a way, you have a successful life seeing how lunch is your biggest concern.

Ms. Na. The director hasn't come to work yet, right?

I don't think so.

Who threw this out here?

Hello. This is Kim Nak-cheon speaking.

What? What did you say?

Can you take responsibility for what you said?

-Mr. Kim. -Hello.

You came to work early today…

Wait. Did you spend the night here?

Well, I had to take care of something.

I said you didn't have to do that.

Thank you.

It'll cost you your health if you keep this up. You're getting old too.

-Did you eat? -What?

Well, of course.

That's a lie. Please go and eat.

You need food in your stomach to take your medicine.

Even Dr. Han asked me to keep an eye on you.

He said stress, overworking, and skipping your medication

are the worst things for your heart.

You seem to nag me way more than my own daughter.

By the way, what brings you here this morning?

What's that blueprint?

Right. It's about the artist, Na-ru.

The artist insisted on hanging the artwork from the ceiling.

The total weight would come out to about 100kg.

I'm not sure if our ceiling can endure that much weight.

Come in.

Sir…

The artwork we received from New York seems a bit off.

I think someone must have touched it.

What are you talking about?

I checked everything before I left yesterday.

That. I went down to check on something yesterday.

I had a small accident there.

But the artwork is fine.

We just need to fix the frame.

What were you trying to check?

How could that happen?

Gosh, now that I'm getting older,

my legs just went weak all of a sudden.

I'll go and get that fixed.

Can you do that for me?

As for this,

we should ask the Safety and Facilities Department

at the district office.

And let's come up with a plan with Mr. Hwang.

Will do.

Thank you.

Yes. I just got off the plane.

I just slept a bit.

Oh, really?

This place really is far.

Yes…

I'm sorry.

Don't touch it!

Is this the gimmick you use to steal?

-What… -Leave it!

What a temper.

It was nothing.

Did you buy a pair of dress shoes?

Don't worry.

I brought an extra pair to wear at the hotel.

But the party…

It's nothing too fancy or extravagant, right?

It'll be like a welcoming party so there's nothing to sweat over.

But you know that you need to build some rapport

to make the deal go smoothly.

Rapport?

You know that's my jam.

By the way, where is she?

Okay. I found her.

See you tomorrow.

Are you a crow or what?

-Mr. Jin? -Where's the car?

Over there…

My name is Kim Da-li.

I'll be assisting you since Ms. Koch had a last-minute emergency.

Da-li, as in Salvador Dali.

You know the candy that Dali designed?

He would stop crying whenever he was presented with a candy.

-So his father… -What time is the party again?

It's an hour and a half ride, so you have more than enough time.

Did you find the flight enjoyable?

Do you really want to know?

Excuse me?

First-class seats are just expensive.

They're not that different from economy-class seats.

It was Da-li, right?

Even if you succeed in the future, don't buy first-class tickets.

You can buy some gamjatang with that money instead.

That's more profitable.

I'm sorry?

How many bowls of gamjatang can you buy with that money?

First-class seats are around 20 million won.

Economy-class ones are one million won.

Gamjatang for two is 30,000 won.

So 3 times 6 equals 18…

That would be 633 bowls, rounded up.

What?

If converted to single portions, that would be 1,266 bowls.

I apologize. I couldn't help but do the math…

No, not at all. That's the right attitude.

You need to get into the habit of doing immediate calculations

so you don't get scammed in the slightest.

If you aren't paying attention,

there's a cockamamie number of people who'll stab you in the back.

"Cockamamie"?

Of course.

I heard the art association worked really hard for your visit.

So everyone has high expectations.

Da-li, you're more innocent than you look.

Do you think that expectation is about me?

It's about the money.

I mean, 20 billion won is a lot.

Even if they all pretend as if they're more sophisticated,

it all comes down to money.

This thing. Money.

That's how the world works.

This is the party venue…

I heard it was at a farm.

It's a modern interpretation of a farm built in the 1700s.

Isn't it beautiful?

Well, it must have cost a bit.

Are people in this game usually this into luxury and vanity?

Excuse me?

This is more of a "let me show you how much money I have" party

than a welcoming party.

And why are there so many paintings?

Even though it's sad to admit, money and art are directly related.

"Art." That's high praise.

But there's a new Modigliani here today.

What?

A cannoli?

"Jin-san"? What is she saying?

She's saying it's great to meet you.

He is the chairman of the association. He says it's an honor to meet you.

This is Ms. Van der Sar.

She wants to know if you're free tomorrow.

She says welcome.

She wants your opinion on the collection.

The collection? My opinion?

All of a sudden?

Just share a few words on a painting of your choice.

But you know that you need to build some rapport

to make the deal go smoothly.

I can never get used to this part.

All of these pieces are huge,

have pretty colors, and are beautiful.

Among the artworks…

Among them…

Among the artworks, the one that captured my heart is…

That painting of a pig.

Now…

White hair, a long body,

and droopy ears.

They look obviously like Landrace pigs.

But as you can see,

their backs and thighs are a little thicker than most Landrace pigs.

I believe these are Dutch Landrace pigs.

There's something we must not miss.

This pig.

It looks very lethargic.

Other pigs are feeding on food, but it's the only lethargic one.

On top of that, look.

There are dirty feces

smeared in thick and dark colors all over its anus.

In other words…

Poop.

This is porcine proliferative enteritis.

If its feces look like this, it means it'll die soon.

Before it infects other pigs, it must be quarantined immediately

to help you to suffer from less financial damage.

That's all.

Here…

Take this.

Goodness, I'm sorry. You should've made me do it.

It's okay. It's for me anyway.

It looked like they served good liquor.

I wanted to chug some down, then get some more.

I have to drive.

Right, but alcohol is the most expensive thing here.

Is this painting that nice? I'm not so sure.

How much does this cost?

If this is a genuine piece, at least 120 million.

That makes no sense.

This can't possibly cost 120 million won.

No, not won. Euros. It's 120 million euros.

Wait, if this is 120 million euros, that means…

About 160 billion won.

About 160 billion won?

Oh, my.

Goodness, Mr. Jin. My gosh, Mr. Jin.

My goodness!

-Are you all right, Mr. Jin? -I'm fine.

That 160 billion won…

What are you guys doing? Tell me.

Let me go. What do you think you're doing?

What?

Hey…

Do you not know who I am?

How dare you mistreat me like this for ruining a single painting?

There's even a lady here.

You…

What is this?

Gosh…

The Majang-dong Fighter is not as hot-tempered anymore.

Back in the day, I would've ripped out your spines and just…

Da-li…

Da-li, what will happen to us now?

Don't tell me I have to compensate her.

It's just a small hole.

If you think about it, it's her fault for displaying

such an expensive painting in front of so many people…

Da-li.

There's even a law that requires both parties to take responsibility.

Wait…

Why the long face?

This has nothing to do with you.

I'm the one they invited,

and I'm also the one who ruined that painting.

You're just my attendant. Nothing more, nothing less.

What happened today has nothing to do with you.

I will take responsibility so…

It's a fake.

What?

The painting you ruined is a fake.

Then…

Mamma mia! Alrighty! Awesome!

You should've told me sooner. I was worried sick, you know?

Hold on.

Why do you look so down?

What's the matter?

This has nothing to do with you, but we've lost a great patron.

I was going to tell her in private after the party was over,

but things blew up.

Madam Bronckhorst won't sit still

after the humiliation she's received today.

Patron?

Do you get your scholarship from the Pork Association?

"The Pork Association"?

Why would they be so petty and take back a scholarship?

Don't worry. After all, you saved my life today.

Dondon F&B will give you scholarships from now on.

We provide social services too.

Hold on. "Dondon F&B"?

What is that?

It's a part of our company, Dondon Gamjatang.

-I'm sure you heard of it. -Didn't you say you were Mr. Jin?

Yes. I'm Jin Mu-hak.

I thought they had invited you.

Yes. The Dutch Pork Association.

Does that mean you're not Mr. Jin Hitonari?

No, I'm Jin Mu-hak.

Oh, no!

What should I do?

-The number you have dialed cannot… -Why isn't he picking up?

Why did you take me to that party without checking who I was first?

Had you checked my identity beforehand, I wouldn't have ruined that painting!

You're the one who rushed us to the party.

Do you take just anyone to such parties without checking who they are first?

You said you were Mr. Jin.

Yes, because I'm Jin Mu-hak!

I should've suspected you when you started mentioning pig poop and enteritis.

You kept talking about money.

Look who's talking.

You're the one who said that fake painting costs such an astronomical number.

Do you even know how many bowls of gamjatang that is?

It's a piece of artwork, not just any painting.

How could you compare its cost to gamjatang?

-What a load of garbage. -Pardon?

Artwork, my foot. You said it was a fake. A fake!

Hold on.

I could've paid a hefty compensation to that fraud.

You better pray that I still get my 20-billion-won contract.

Or else, you're dead meat.

Don't drive so recklessly.

You fool. You idiot. You moron.

You fool. You idiot. You moron!

You fool. You idiot. You moron…

You seem to have a limited number of words to call yourself. Just get up.

His phone is off. The workers have gone home.

We can't report him missing since he's not a child.

There's nothing we can do.

What if something happens to him?

I seriously doubt that. He's a grown man.

He may have gone to his hotel or a restaurant to have some food. Okay?

He'll call. Didn't you say he was filthy rich?

Come on. Turn that frown upside down.

He's not afraid to spend hundreds of millions on a painting,

so I'm sure he will let go of this small mistake.

If not,

he's not a true lover of art.

Okay?

Okay?

What will you do now, Mr. Jin?

Mr. Jin.

This card isn't valid.

What?

This card isn't working.

Unbelievable…

Don't be ridiculous. This is a black card.

Gosh…

It's a black…

Do you have another card?

My gosh. Unbelievable…

Here you go.

That was a black card. Gosh.

How could you freeze my cards when I'm on a business trip?

I have no cash, and the business team will arrive tomorrow.

So…

ignore the chairman's orders and fix this. If not, I'll…

Mr. Kim. Mr…

You scumbag.

Is there a problem?

What?

No. Not at all.

I sorted out everything. So you can go home now.

Thank you for today.

Are you sure you'll be okay?

Of course. You should go. Please.

You should go in first.

All right then. If you insist.

Thanks for everything.

Go home.

Thank you.

You startled me!

I wonder

how long it'd take if I were to walk to the airport from here.

I've been meaning to have a meeting with Mr. Jin

to talk about the cafe.

I'm sorry to have inconvenienced you.

Forget about the cafe.

That's not the problem right now.

I need you to give back the investment money.

Pardon?

My father found out about the money.

He's been throwing a fit.

It's a disaster.

Why did you send us the chamber pot?

That was so stupid.

What do you mean?

Excuse me for a moment.

How dare you come here?

No. Please, Uncle.

No. I can't bury the truth.

If something is rotting, it must be carved out.

If there's been a mistake, I must correct it.

I said I was fine.

I can't possibly impose on a poor international student…

Which, I guess you're not.

What is this place?

Ms. Prinsen is on vacation. So the house is a mess.

I see. This isn't your house.

I almost thought otherwise.

You can sleep on the sofa. And the bathroom is that way.

We have a lot of towels, so you can feel free to use them.

Do you need anything else?

I'm good.

But don't bring a stranger home next time. You know nothing about me.

For all you know, I could be dangerous. And the house owner isn't even here.

Don't you know how dangerous the world is?

You can't speak any English, you have no money,

and your credit cards don't work. How can I just leave you there?

When someone offers you help, a thank-you would suffice.

Who would say such nonsense? What a naive thing to say.

My father.

Your father is a very generous man.

-Goodnight. -Wait.

Since you're helping me, can you help me out one more time?

Aren't you hungry?

I had some food at the party earlier.

But you didn't eat anything all day today.

Oh, right.

What on earth? Is the owner of this house a hotel chef?

Do you have any food allergies? Or any food that you don't like?

No…

Let me see…

You won't get kicked out for this, right?

Da-li, where's the salt?

You're not answering your phone, so I'm very concerned.

Please call me back once you check this message. Thank you.

Gosh. Where is it?

-Da-li. -Julian.

I'm sorry to call you so late at night.

Didn't you tell me you worked on a deal with Hitonari last year?

Do you know any places he might stay in Amsterdam?

There it is. Okay.

To Nakamura Sumire.

This is Kim Da-li from St. Miller.

I was supposed to pick up Jin Hitonari at Schiphol Airport this afternoon.

But there must have been a slight misunderstanding

as I was unable to pick him up.

I cannot reach him now.

And he didn't come to the hotel he was supposed to stay.

If you get a call from…

You can work after we eat.

We study and work, so we can feed ourselves.

I'm sorry.

Having three meals a day is the only equal thing

between those with money and success and those without those things.

We ought to eat every single meal as if our lives depend on it.

Dig in.

This is so good.

How can it taste this good?

Well,

I was able to get market merchants to spend their gambling money

on my food at the age of 11.

So this is nothing.

If we were at my house, I would've cooked up a feast.

No. This is amazing.

Are you studying while working at the gallery?

I guess you can say that.

That's great. You get to look at paintings and make money too.

Do you like art?

Art?

Sure…

Who doesn't?

I have a painting in my living room too.

It's nice and big.

And I admire it every day. Morning and night.

What kind of painting is it?

I need more than food in order to live.

I need the taste of money too.

Gosh. Beautiful.

This is art. Art isn't such a big deal.

My gosh. It's been hours.

You're making it impossible for me to admire my art!

You're so unsophisticated.

I don't think you know this painting.

It's an Asian painting.

I majored in Asian Art History when I was an undergraduate.

If you tell me the artist…

Is talking about the artist and its price that important?

I believe as long as the painting satisfies the people looking at it,

it's a great painting.

I see. Being able to set your own standard in art

without getting affected by trends and the market is no easy feat.

You must love that painting.

Very much so.

Then why don't you stop by the gallery if you have time after your meeting?

It's a small gallery.

But we have numerous works from artists that Korean people like

such as Gogh, Seurat, Cezanne, and Gauguin.

Korean people?

Oh, right.

Impressionist painters are beloved worldwide,

not just Korean people.

Right…

Of course, it won't be as good as your food,

but the food in our cafeteria is pretty good.

If you have time, please stop by. I'll show you around.

A cafeteria in a gallery?

That's where people go on dates.

From the first time I saw you, I always thought you were a fool…

I mean, you seem like an interesting man.

I do?

Your shoes, the way you count everything by bowls of gamjatang,

and back at the party too.

Anyway, you're the most interesting person I've met.

Eat up.

-Isn't it good? -It is.

Let's get cleaned up.

That's it. What a day.

What happened?

What's going on?

Come on.

Da-li?

Da-li, what's going on?

What is it? Where are you?

Da-li?

Da-li?

Da-li?

Da-li?

Da-li…

That watch is very important to me.

I'll make sure I come, so wait for me.

You dared to betray Jin Mu-hak?

I'm looking to liquidate my assets except for the art museum.

I'll make sure I find you!

Are you home? Are you?

Are you looking for that watch or that woman?

I can't do this. If I just sit around, I'll get betrayed over and over again.

Give me my money!

Mr. Jin?
