All language subtitles for Dine With Love S01E07

From the moment we met,

I knew that we are made for each other.

I love you.

From this moment on, you will be a key.

A key to open the chamber to my heart.

Would you be willing
to take care of my heart

which was dead for a long time?

Bravo! It's so heart touching!

My mascara is melting off.
Let me go and reapply it.

[cell phone ringing]

You should look for a screenwriter
to rewrite your lines.

They are disgusting.

CONFESSION SCRIPT

These new lines were written
by a famous scriptwriter

She will surely say yes
by listening to them.

You just say what's written.

To hell with this scriptwriter
and his lines.

Su Kelan, I've liked you

since the first time I saw you.

[crowd mumbling]

Thank you, Director Jin. Everyone,
thank you for this welcoming ceremony.

I really like Director Jin
and this team as well.

It's my honour to join the programming
team and work with all of you.

From now on, I will work hard
and improve myself with everybody's help.

I also hope that everyone can
take care of me in the future.

What a wonderful induction
ceremony! It's so moving!

Welcome, Kelan.

-Thank you, Director Jin.
-Welcome, Sister Kelan!

Welcome, Sister Kelan.

Thank you.

Well, I ordered drinks and cake
for everyone on behalf of President Yu.

Thank you, President Yu.

- Thank you, President Yu.
- All right, all right. Get back to work!

All right.

If he had listened to me,
she would've really said yes.

It's great that
he didn't follow her script.

I had even prepared a bag for vomit.

Can't you listen to what I'm saying?

EPISODE 7
SOURNESS FROM A DRUNKEN FISH

Cowpeas are my favourite thing to eat!

They are black-eyed beans.

However, they are called cowpeas
in Shanghai.

These have different names
in different regions of our country.

They called cowpeas in Shanghai.

The pickled cowpeas Yu Hao is using were
taken from our company's refrigerator.

In fact, it doesn't matter whether
they are called string beans or cowpeas.

He took all the pickled vegetables
and braised meats from the fridge.

I don't know which girl it was,

trying to get his attention.

Whatever it is,
he didn't even touch them.

Why are you telling me these things?

He doesn't want to change
the pickled vegetables.

He's just used to them.

Fondness is only temporary,
but a habit lasts longer.

He's more used to tomatoes.

Tomatoes abandoned him that day.

But he still has that tomato
on his key chain, doesn't he?

Kelan!

-So we have to fry like that?
-Yes.

This director is so vulgar.

Don't be fooled
by his decent face.

You're so amazing!

Come on.

Wow.

President Yu, I'm really
curious about something.

Why did you choose
to make this dish today?

The pickled vegetables
used to make this dish,

bring with them the taste of home.

Taste which comes
through generations in your family,

is like sharing the taste
of your family's memories with them.

Are all these dishes
made with pickled vegetables?

The thing our friends
living away from home

miss the most is the taste of their home.

When we treat our friends
to some homemade pickled vegetables,

it feels like we are sharing the memories
of the flavours of our own family.

If we like another family's homemade
pickled vegetables, it may represent...

Maybe that also means
that we like all the memories

and longings associated with it.

That we like all the related
memories and longings as well.

President Yu, are these your family's
homemade pickled vegetables? Let me try.

I really like them!

Try it. Try it.

It seems like President Yu has
a special attachment to pickled cowpeas.

They're really delicious!

Does he like to eat
our pickled vegetables?

"If you love someone's
pickled vegetables,"

"you can probably become a family."

So todays episode ends here.
Thank you for watching today's show.

We will meet next time with another
episode of Dine with Love!

Cut!

Pack up for today, shoot is over.

-Thank you!
-You all worked really hard!

You all worked hard.

-Let's go.
-I will be back.

Listen, show me the schedule
for the next episode.

Sure. Please take a look.

Do you have any ideas for the theme?

Don't you think
their taste is really familiar?

-It is.
-Remember.

They taste like the pickled vegetables
Su Kelan brought.

That's right.

Sister Kelan, did you give
President Yu the pickled vegetables?

Don't just waste time! Kelan
has just joined the team today.

She brought pickled vegetables,
braised meat for us.

They're all in the office.
Everyone, go and get some.

-Thank you, Sir.
-Thank you, Kelan.

-Let's go.
-You are welcome.

-Thank you.
-Welcome.

Do you share your pickled vegetables
with everyone?

Don't stand here and stare.
Say something.

Aren't they just pickled vegetables?
Why can't I share them?

Besides, I'm well aware of who I'm giving
them to and my relationships with them,

unlike someone who even mixed
up which person liked tomatoes.

Can't you be more domineering and
masculine and say something to her?

Hurry up!

Say something. Say something!

Gather up, everyone!
Meeting in the office.

Su Kelan, wait a minute.

President Yu,

Kelan has resigned from Dine With Love.

She is with our team now.

In what capacity did you ask her to wait?

As the sponsor of this show.

Then please discuss
the sponsorship affairs with me.

Tell me, what's the matter?

President Yu, if you have any official
business, just say it here.

There's nothing to discuss now.

Director Jin, you've cut the chicken too
finely today. It's hard to pick them up.

This is a little too sweet.

-That's right.
-Right.

But with Sister Kelan here,
we are being treated better.

There's food to eat even during a meeting!

That's right.

So shall we plan for a freshwater
seafood-related theme

for the next episode?

It's because you want to eat crabs, right?

But I want to eat a barbecue.
Why don't we plan for that?

Kelan, what do you think?

If it's a freshwater-seafood theme...

So Kelan, do you support
a crab feast as well?

Kelan wants to eat barbecue.

She said freshwater-seafood theme
so, of course, it'll be crabs.

If we like someone's homemade pickled
vegetables, maybe that also means

that we like all the memories
and longings associated with them.

Maybe

we can turn from friends

to family.

Wake up.

Time to get up!

Are you getting up or not?

Wake up.

You're so annoying.

What's the point of training like this?

She hasn't replied.

Didn't Li Bai say,

"Put in continuous effort the first time,"

"work harder the second time,"

"and the third time is the charm?"

Do you know it's meaning less

to beat the drums before the deaf.

It will just hurt your hand
and makes body exhausted.

All you need
is a boost of fighting spirit.

You're just pursuing a girl

who recently quit her job
due to frustration.

What's so hard about this?

When I was...

When I was new to the entertainment
industry,

I just ate when I was lovelorn

and disappeared for more than six months.

When my agency ordered me
to go on a reality show,

I weighed 100 Kg.

I thought you were chubby
when you were on that show,

but 100 Kg.

Shut up.
Let me complete.

Where was I?

Do you know?

-Nearby hundred kilos.
-Oh, yes.

I only had two months
before they started filming,

I went on an extreme diet
and worked out like crazy every day.

My manager took me along to convince
the producers to add me to the cast.

At first, they completely ignored me.

Still, I continued this for two weeks,

and they ended up noticing that I had
really lost a lot of weight.

When there was just a month left
before shooting began,

they suddenly realized that,
a fat girl like me,

who was determined to lose weight,
can make the show popular.

so they made an exception
and put me on the show.

When the show officially began
to shoot, I was still 65Kg.

Do you know what everyone thinks?

They were all expecting me
to be the laughing stock,

but you already saw the final
result of that show.

Therefore, I only believe in one phrase,

"I'm the master of my own destiny."

You can do this!
Let's go.

Let's do it.

Keep running.

Go for it!

Hey, what happened?

I can't do it anymore.

Let me take a break first.

What do you think about this proposal?

I think it's a good thing.

Having seen that show's director
confess his feelings,

I'm sure Yu Hao would be in a panic.

But what if that director succeeds
in winning over Kelan's heart?

Didn't you say he's a loser?

Well, if he cleans up a little,

he can be pretty handsome.

The key is your friend's attitude.

If she has decided to work with the
programming team,

Isn't it because she still wants to have
a chance to be in touch with Yu Hao?

If she argued with Yu Hao
over pickled vegetables

and mentioned the tomato thing, then
isn't it obvious that she's jealous?

The point is that neither
of them is backing down.

What's wrong with your nephew?

He has already broken up
with his ex-girlfriend.

Why can't he just throw
that damn tomato keychain away?

You...

Are you coming to dinner on Sunday?

I have a plan.

Wait, your mother-in-law is coming
over for dinner at your place,

and you're asking me to cook for you?

How does that make sense?

Your mom is coming over
to our place for dinner,

and you want my best friend to cook?

Don't you think that's weird?

Besides, Kelan would also
think that this is strange.

It's not strange.

You've met my mom before.

She's not a stickler for rules.

Besides, she's really worried
about Yu Hao as well.

If we bring her along, she'll
be even more helpful for us.

As for Su Kelan, just say this.

Please do me a favour.

My mother-in-law used to own
a restaurant. She's very picky.

Over the years, she's been traveling
abroad.

Now that she's back for her son's wedding,

she's really pining
for some good home-cooked meals.

I let her try some of your pickled
vegetables the other day,

and she really loved them.

No, she'll definitely say this.

"Why don't you go get some from my place?"

Well, then you say this.

That's not enough.

While she was eating, she said,

"This pickled vegetable
would taste delicious

if we turned it into a stir-fried dish."

So I told her, "Sure, sure.
My bestie is an awesome cook."

"I'll ask her to come over."

Will Yu Hao be there as well?

Deny it at all costs,
then change the subject.

Tell her that your relationship

with your mother-in-law
completely relies on her.

Make a scene or act feisty,
do everything you can.

Now is the time
to show your acting skills.

No.

This marks the crucial beginning
of my relationship with my mother-in-law.

I can care less about his stupid nephew.

Or do you think that,
it's too much trouble

to help your best friend?

Let's take a cab.

Please.

I'll pay for it.

Let's go.

Perfect!

Sir, Ma'am, you seem to be more concerned

about other people's affairs
than your own wedding.

Shall we keep looking at the proposal?

-Okay.
-Okay.

Coming!

You're finally here.
Here, put the slippers on.

What's going on with you?

Why didn't you tell me
that President Yu will be here?

I got really confused.

My back is acting up again.

Then I'll give you a massage in the room.

Okay.

Meng.

I have brought
all the ingredients for you.

They are easy to make. You should
be able to handle it yourself.

Kelan, wait.

My mother-in-law is about to arrive.

Now you can't just leave me stranded here.

-Mom.
-Meng, how are you.

Come on in.

Auntie?

It's you.

Mom,

do you know each other?

Are you still mad at me?

Okay, all right.

Look at you.

You even helped my mother-in-law
at the hospital.

What a coincidence, right?

This is like the time
I had picked up that kitten

from the side of the road.

-Isn't that true?
-What are you talking about?

All right, come on.

Please hit me harder.

Hit me.

It hurts.

All right, don't be angry at me anymore.

Mom, next time you want a facelift
or something, just tell me.

It's not shameful. Why must
you keep this a secret?

I didn't get scammed anyway.

Besides, if I didn't go,
I wouldn't have met Kelan.

Hey...

What's wrong with the two of them?

We are trying to patch things up for them.

So...

Gong Wenxing's mom is Yu Hao's grandma?

That's why Gong Wenxing is Yu Hao's uncle.

That's very serendipitous.

I thought they were distant relatives.

It's weird, isn't it?

Here, I'll straighten it out for you.

My mother-in-law gave birth
to Yu Hao's mom

when she was 19 years old.

19 years later, she gave birth
to Gong Wenxing at an advanced age.

Therefore, Yu Hao's mom
is Gong Wenxing's elder sister.

What's more coincidental is that,

Yu Hao's mom also married at a young age.

The day my mother-in-law
gave birth to Gong Wenxing,

Yu Hao's mom gave birth to Yu Hao as well.

Their due date was around the same time.

Both mother and daughter went to the
hospital together to have their babies.

I heard it was a spectacle
at the hospital back then.

So do you know anything
about Yu Hao's mother?

Gong Wenxing only told me
that she passed away a long time ago.

He also asked me not to mention
it in front of Yu Hao or his mom.

Yes.

But later on, Gong Wenxing told me that,

the reason Yu Hao doesn't celebrate
his birthday

is also because of that.

But he didn't tell me

any more details.

I haven't asked further.

It isn't right for me to ask him
any further when he said

not to mention it
in front of his family.

Why don't you just come back?

Come back where?

To the company.

I don't think there are any major
problems between you and Yu Hao.

You see, once you left, I was the one

who had to take over your position
as the director.

Yu Hao is so hard to deal with.
I really can't do it.

Besides, even if you're
in the programming team,

you'll still run into Yu Hao quite often.

You might as well come back
and be the director again.

Seeing him quite often

is still better than feeling vexed
upon seeing him every day.

Here we go.

Eat.

Don't you want to see?

Just tell me anything you want.

Don't hold it in.

Eat this, don't be shy.

It's really good.

Everyone wants this.

If you will not eat someone else will.

Honey, where is our first aid box?

Kelan cut her finger.

-The bleeding won't stop!
-What!

-Are you okay?
-What?

What's wrong?

It's good that you're okay.

I better get going.

Hey, why is the door locked?

What? Oh?

What? Oh, no.

The lock seems to be broken.

Gong Wenxing, go and get something

-to fix it.
-Okay.

-I'll help you.
-Fine.

Hey, have you found something to fix it?

This might take a while.

Yu Hao, see if you can find anything
in the kitchen that could be of any help.

Oh, Kelan, why don't you

have a chat with Yu Hao.

Han Meng has been bad-tempered lately.

Isn't she always bad-tempered?

-Why are they talking about me?
-I don't know.

She has had several fights
with multiple people

ever since she took over your position.

She frequently slams the table when she's
talking with the Marketing director.

She even tossed documents
in my face a few times.

-Like I'm not a boss but a servant.
-What/

I always respect him in public.

I only show resentment
when no one is around.

I would never embarrass him
in front of others.

That's right. At the office,

I have never told anyone
that I'm his aunt.

I'm the one who is most miserable.

I'm stuck between my wife and nephew.

Sometimes, I'm like, "Honey,
Yu Hao is your boss after all."

"You should show him some respect.
Bear with it next time."

On the other hand, I'm like,
"Don't be angry anymore."

"You're a man. You should
be more tolerant with her."

"She's just a little short-tempered."

Who's short-tempered?

I'm short-tempered.

Your director is little bit crazy.
If you are not comfortable

in the programming team,
you can just come back.

Thank you, President Yu,

but I think that
the programming team suits me better.

We don't have to work overtime
very often. Besides,

I don't need to keep my phone on 24/7.

Do you need any help?

We're about to record the show, right?

How about we prepare for it now?

We don't even have a theme yet.
What's there to prepare?

We can prepare anything.

And then, when the theme is disclosed,
I can adjust according to the theme.

Any particular reason for making
fish with Sichuan pickles?

It's delicious, appetizing,
and goes well with rice.

Do I need a reason?

Even if I do have a reason,

why do you want to hear it?

[cell phone vibrating]

Hello, Director Zhao. What's up?

What?

Is there a problem with the contract?

Which of the clauses isn't clear?

What?

Okay.
Is it urgent?

Then first discuss it with An Jie.
I'll call him right now.

When we put the vegetables
in an airtight jar,

they will ferment and become sour.

I wonder whether this sourness
means sorrow,

or whether it's the anticipation
for the fish. Maybe it's nostalgia?

-Let's see what's going on?
-Open the door.

What is...

How is the food, Mom?

It's delicious, very nice.

I told you Kelan is a great cook.

-Eat more.
-Yes.

-You should have some, too. Try this.
-Okay.

-Come on, eat more. Eat up.
-Here we go.

-Here, Mom.
-Okay.

Why don't I take you home?

Why don't I...

-take you home?
-It's okay. Thank you, President Yu.

You like tomatoes,
and I don't want to be a replacement meal.

Aren't they just pickled vegetables?
Why can't I share them?

Besides, I'm well aware
of who I'm giving them to

and my relationships with them.

Unlike someone

who doesn't know
which person liked tomatoes.

[romantic music playing]

[romantic music continues]

A keepsake is to summon up memories.

When those memories only cause sadness,

it's better to leave it alone.

♫ Heartache mixed with sweetness ♫

♫ The distance is both far and near ♫

Is there no one whom you can miss a lot?

♫ Feelings are like a game ♫

♫ I'm trapped in my hesitation ♫

♫ Longing for you to give me a sign ♫

♫ Maybe I should ask myself ♫

♫ And muster up all my courage ♫

♫ To get closer to you ♫

♫ The surging crowd seems to be erased ♫

♫ After all the storms,
I'm even more convinced ♫

♫ I can feel your love ♫

CHONGQING PEOPLE'S HOSPITAL

-Wow, Brother Jin Xuan is here.
-Careful.

Brother Jin.

-Take it easy. Take it easy.
-Why did you cut your hair?

I...

All right, you guys. Go play.

Wow. The furry monster
is actually quite handsome.

Brother Jin Xuan, do you know how to draw?

-Yes, I do.
-Well, can you draw me?

Sure. Here, give this to me.

You can go over there
and play, and I'll draw you.

Okay.

Do you visit and play with them
every week?

Yes.

You know how to draw?
Why didn't you say so?

A man who's caring and artistic

is more attractive to girls.

Will Sister Kelan come today?

I want more bunnies.

-You're a boy. Why do you want bunnies?
-No.

Sister Kelan?

Bunnies?

The bunny you bragged to me about
were made Su Kelan?

Hey...

you said that Su Kelan brings her mom
to the hospital twice a week for dialysis.

Then why aren't you seizing this chance?

I don't know exactly when she comes.

-What are you doing?
-I'll show you

how to seize the chance.

Hello, Doctor Li? This is Bi.

Do you have a patient who's related
to Su Kelan at your hospital?

That's right. She's a really
good friend of mine.

She brings her mom to the hospital
for dialysis twice a week, right?

We want to...

We want to plan
a surprise party for her

so we'd like to know
her mom's dialysis schedule.

If you don't mind.

Yes, thank you.

I just sent you the dialysis schedule
of Su Kelan's mom.

Hey.

-There is an appointment today.
-What?

Mom, take it slow.

-Sister Kelan!
-Xin Xin, why are you here?

-Yay!
-Yay.

Take it slow.
Give it to me.

What are you drawing?

Look, can you tell me how it is?

I had already reeled in the fish for him,
but still he didn't make a move.

Useless.

What do you think?

-What are you drawing?
-Fish.

Wow.

-Go play with Sister Kelan.
-Okay.

Hello, Auntie.

Are you Kelan's superior?

No, Kelan just came to help me out.

Kelan told me that you come here
to play with the children all the time.

I once filmed a documentary
for the hospital.

That's how I met them.

Are all of them seriously ill?

They're still so young, and yet they have
to live with such serious illnesses.

When we were filming the documentary,

a child was transferred
to the ICU due to severe symptoms.

They weren't able to save him.

He was best friends with Xin Xin.

Because of that,

she became so sad.

After that, she asked me
for treats, and said

she'd feel happy to be alive
as long as there were tasty treats.

After we finished the documentary,

I started coming here every week
to cook with them.

At least in that moment,

they can forget about their pain.

Brother Jin Xuan, what are we
making today?

Lame.

Okay, listen up.

I brought a magical dish
for all of you today.

Have a look.

-Are you ready?
-We're ready!

-So let's see.
-We are ready!

Here we go!

Wow!

As long as it's made
with your heart, the dish will shine.

It's the same for people.

Each one of you has to believe

that you will grow up
to be an adult who shines.

-Really?
-Really.

Wow.

It's a small device

that I hid inside.

-So that's a device after all.
-Yes.

One of the children just had
a surgery and he has been sad,

so I arranged this with the help
of the doctors and nurses.

There's a light under the dish.

I'm a professional
at these kinds of things.

You're so caring.

Thank you for
keeping us company, Director Jin.

Don't mention it. You're the ones
who spent time with the children.

Can I take you home.

That's all right. Don't bother
with it. We'll just call a cab.

It's not easy to get a cab at this hour.

Besides, Auntie must be tired by now.

It's easier to catch a ride with me.

I am indeed a little bit dizzy.

[cell phone chiming]

ZHANG BI

Good luck.
Get your mother-in-law's approval.

Did you take them home? Make sure
you walk them right to the door.

Stay for dinner
even if you have to be shameless.

There's more. I put
the Love Charm in your car.

Keep it with you always, okay.

-Do you remember the plan?
-I do.

-Take it easy, Mom.
-Okay.

In a little while,
we'll go to your apartment.

It's right here.

Dad, Mom, we're home!

-Hello, In-laws. Please come in.
-Please have a seat.

After we'll walk in, you'll say...

Dad, Mom, I'm going to bring
something over to Kelan's place.

Of course, I've already
convinced my mom and dad to assist us.

Why don't we invite Kelan
over for dinner?

-Let's all get to know each other.
-That's right.

Of course, I have already made
an agreement with my mom as well.

Sure, I haven't seen Kelan
for such a long while.

This way I can also meet her mom.

Sure.

I'll be on my way then.

Come on. Take a seat.

Like that,

Yu Hao and Kelan will have another chance

to spend some time together.

We'll set the couple up.
Nothing can go wrong.

We have to shorten
their physical distance.

Perfect.

Let's chat first.

After that, Meng Meng will mention
bringing something over to her.

Meng Meng's mom
will mention dinner together.

I'll say yes.

Grandma, what are you mumbling about?

Nothing.

Director Jin, thank you
for driving us home.

Come upstairs, have a look around.

Mom, Director Jin is very busy.

I will manage.

Mom, be careful.

-Kelan, here's your purse.
-Thank you.

What is this?

Is that plan still on?

What plan? It's all ruined!

What are you doing?

Don't worry. He is Yu Hao.

He's a young and promising CEO
who returned from overseas.

That Jin Xuan can't compare at all.

What do you mean he can't compare?
Do you even know who he is?

He's the director
of the programming team. Mom,

don't think so highly of him
just because he's a director.

He's just someone who would eat
a boxed meal by the side of the road.

-Come on, have some tea.
-Thank you, Auntie.

-Have a seat.
-Yes.

Is it tough to be a director?

It's all right.

We're busy when there's a project.

No wonder you don't know.

Does he have any other hidden identities?

Batman? Iron Man?

He's the youngest son of the owner
of Huajin Energy Group.

How much do you earn?

It's nice when there's a project.

When I don't have a project, it's...

That's all right as long
as you have adequate money.

You're still young.

-It'll get better in the future.
-Yes.

He's nothing but a rich second generation.

I'll help you, Auntie.

-Okay.
-Let me.

-Auntie.
-Yes.

Who's account is this?

It's my account.

Do you follow me?

Yes, I've followed you
for a very long time.

I just think that the photos look
really warm and appetizing.

I've used your photos as reference
in my show Dine with Love.

What a coincidence!

Look,

this one too.

This is...

It's just my drawing.

Director Jin, do you also know
how to draw?

He graduated from
the California Institute of Arts.

Back in the days,
a casual drawing of his

was good enough to be displayed
in the Gagosian Gallery.

It's just a hobby.

The show is on a very tight budget

so I just drew
some of the illustrations myself.

Auntie, I'm sorry for using
your photo as reference

-without your permission.
-That's all right.

It looks wonderful.
Do you have any more?

Yes, here it is.

Here.

Director, have a seat.

Yes.

-Director.
-Yes.

I've always wanted to see
what Kelan looks like when she's cooking.

Can you draw her for me?

Draw her?

Is there any problem?

No, of course not.

Well then, draw it.

Well, does he know
that his love rival is so outstanding?

In the Kruger National Park
in South Africa,

two lions are chasing each other

and fighting for the right
to mate with a lioness.

[romantic music playing]

Director Jin, I didn't know you can draw.

Kelan,

I have something to...

What?

Director Jin,

are you hungry?

Have a little patience.

Dinner will be ready soon.

Kelan, why don't you let me cook dinner?

This way, you and Auntie
can try my food as well.

Sure, let's try your food.

-I'll help you then.
-Sure.

Let me.

Careful, don't hurt your hand again.

-What's the matter?
-I'm fine.

Just wait to try my food.

-I'll bring you the fish.
-Okay.

This is fun.

-So funny.
-No problem.

Mom, you just cut your hand!

It's okay, just a small cut.

Don't make a fuss about it.

Dad, why are you in the phone?

Mom get a small cut here.

-It's okay.
-How can you let Mom

do something as dangerous
as peeling an apple?

-It's just a small cut.
-Do it quick.

-Careful.
-Look.

It's just a minor cut.

Mom, dinner is ready.

Wow.

Here.

Director Jin, you've been following
my mom's account for this long?

It's serendipity.

He also used to draw
by looking at my pictures.

-Draw?
-Yes.

Director Jin, can you...

Can you send me your drawings?
I want them.

-Of course.
-Send a copy to Kelan while you're at it.

I'm afraid I might lose them later.

Sure.

Mom.

Done.

-Director Jin, please eat.
-I will.

-Director Jin, eat some more.
-Look at how nice the pictures are.

Director Jin, did you learn
to draw professionally?

I studied modern art in college.

If you studied art professionally,

why did you become the director
of a gourmet food program?

In 2009 when I was studying in the U.S.,

my aunt and uncle took
their family on a vacation.

I skipped school that time.

Unfortunately, I didn't get
to enjoy it for very long

before a flu began to spread in the U.S.

My friends thought I had the flu

so they stopped coming over
to hang out with me.

-Thank you.
-Here.

Didn't you tell them
that you weren't sick?

I was afraid
that my dad would beat me up.

As a result, I was stranded in the house.

There is no problem living alone,
I just wanted to have a good food.

When I finally fell asleep at night,
all I could dream of various tasty foods

like hotpots,
and various other tasty dishes.

When I woke up the next morning,

I went to my favourite restaurant.

But it had been closed for days.

At that moment, I thought,
"Who would come to visit me now?"

Someone who came to our restaurant
even during a pandemic

must really be craving the food

so this is our treat.

Please order from our restaurant
again once the pandemic is over.

I can't explain

how good I felt at that moment.

I cried a lot that day.

That feeling, that emotion,

I wanted to show to the world
through my TV show.

Auntie, please eat.

I think I've said too much.

-It's okay.
-You didn't.

-Mom, start eating.
-Try it.

Delicious.

Kelan, try some.

How is it?

Did you add red wine?

That's the way they made this
at that Chinese restaurant.

After that, I couldn't stop
thinking about this

so I asked the restaurant owner
how to make it.

He said that he'd been depressed for days

because the restaurant was closed,
and he'd lost a lot of money.

He had been drinking while he cooked.
You will not believe.

He accidentally poured red wine into it.

Unexpectedly,
it turned out extremely delicious.

Wow.

Look at how coincidental it is.

If it wasn't the pandemic,

he wouldn't have poured
the red wine into his food.

And if he didn't put wine into it,

you wouldn't be
the director of a food program

or have a chance to meet Kelan.

Mom, eat some more.

I...

would never miss out
such a delicious dish,

-it's very good.
-That's true.

If we look at it this way,

it's all destiny.

Destiny.

No matter what you encounter,
which path you choose,

or what kind of person you meet,

are all these results of coincidence?

You have received offers
from all major corporations.

Then why are you still looking
into a small company like this?

It's closer to home, so it is convenient
for me to go home and take care of my mom.

I'll go with you then.

Sure.

An Jie?

I have brought some food for everyone.

-Give.
-Wow.

I'm sorry for not being there
during overtime.

With food like this, it doesn't matter
whether you work overtime or not.

-Bring us some more next time, okay.
-Okay.

I'll put the rest in the fridge for you
so that you can eat it later.

Okay. Thank you, Kelan.

-You're welcome.
-Thank you.

I heard this is our boss's favourite.

As for the food that you
gave to your co-workers as an apology,

should we thank you

or thank you even more?

Just thanking me is enough.

What are you writing?

Keywords the boss should use on the show.

He can't do it himself?

He doesn't know how to cook.

Is it?
But he's doing fine on the show.

Who wrote the script
for the bitter gourds on the show?

What kind of chances
would lead you to meet someone?

Would he stay by your side,

or, just pass by you?

The red wine meat was delicious.

You also liked it, right?

I've seen you eating.

If you like it a lot, I can
make them for you tomorrow.

I don't want you to always be
the one cooking for other people.

I'd like someone who can
accompany you in the kitchen

and prepare the food he loves to eat.

At the same time, he can look
for your likes and dislikes.

This period of time
is like the pandemic

that Director Jin experienced.

The flu may feel awful,

but it will eventually pass.

However, the delicious meat in red wine

will be by your side forever.

It's quite good.

Look...

Hasn't it improved with double speed.

Only because of my efforts.

Do you mean "at a tremendous pace"?

You're picking on me again.

So what if I said it wrong?

It's fine as long as you understood.

Cheers.

Wait a minute.

Her mom is obviously giving you
a chance to show your charm

by letting you go in and draw Su Kelan.

What did you do? Why did you
present yourself as their cook?

How is that
improving at a tremendous pace?

You barely made half a meter.

What do you mean?

Just because you're lame, stop imagining
that her mother will be as lame as you.

Am I lame?

If I wouldn't been there
would you able to

drop Auntie Su and Su Kelan
to their house?

If I hadn't been lame like that,

would you be able to get a chance
to go to her place?

Think about it.

If Auntie Su wants to see
Su Kelan in a painting,

she can simply use the sketch conversion
feature in the cell phone filters.

Why would she ask you to do it?

It was obviously an excuse.

-Have you ever watched the movie Titanic?
-Yes.

Jack and Rose fell deeply in love
after he made a sketch of her.

That's the charm of art.

You should understand that.

It happens only in movies.

You are not getting my point.

It's the sketch that shows your talent.

Her mom gave you such a good
opportunity, and you wasted it.

Well,

I'll find another chance later on.

-It's just some sketches.
-Just some sketches?

Seize the opportunity
and strike while the iron is hot.

Just tell her that her mom
wants to see a sketch of her

and look for a beautiful place
to draw at.

Can you draw?

Don't make it counterproductive.

I can draw.

-Galleries would fight to display my work.
-Okay?

Drawing well and making her look
beautiful are two different things.

Girls only care whether
they look beautiful or not.

The front camera on our phones can
never compare to the beauty filter.

How about this?

You can draw my sketch.

I'll sacrifice myself

to see whether you can draw good

or you are just a terrible artist.

I mean, if you can
show your charisma or not.

[romantic music playing]

-What are you thinking?
-Don't move.

Okay.

Dude, even the front camera
on our phones will throw up seeing this.

You should stop doing this.

Honey.

What did Yu Hao want to do?

The way he ran out like that,
he would undoubtedly chase after Kelan.

But why did he simply come back?

I'm not getting it.

He's little bit rude.

Honey, you've been
worried about him all day.

Stop thinking about him.

Think about your husband.

Could it be that he still
can't forget about Shen Zhilin?

-Honey.
-Listen.

Do all men get hung up
over their first love?

Is this good?

Do you know that Yu Hao loves cats?

When he was little,

Yu Hao's mom was allergic to cats,

so he couldn't keep one.

Later on, Yu Hao came to stay with us.

One day...

Look, what I got for you.

He took the kitten

to the vet every morning

and took care of it at night.

He barely slept.

But two weeks later,

he still wasn't able to save that kitten.

Yu Hao is a very emotional person.

He was really close to his mom
but his mom passed away.

He really loved cats.

He didn't sleep for days,

but he still couldn't save that cat.

Later on,

he met Shen Zhilin.

He tried really hard
to change himself for her.

But in the end,

they still parted on bad terms.

Some people have happy pasts.

Therefore, they can live
free of any inhibitions. Just like us.

But some people

experience irreversible separations

and they've been suffering
since childhood,

and now they are afraid of pain.

That way,

at least they won't feel
the pain of loss again.

Auntie, you're not feeling well.
You don't have to walk me out.

Kelan, please see
Director Jin out

and take out the trash
on your way out as well.

Sure.

-Bye, Auntie.
-Bye Director Jin.
