(Showered with Good Chicken)

Prince Ho–dong is a bully.

And Princess Nak–rang is a fool.

Men are not worth it.

I can't believe she gave up her country for a man.

(The restaurant that created the first–place winner of the

fried chicken tasting contest)

It was all hers.

(The restaurant that created the first–place winner of the

fried chicken tasting contest)

I can't believe him.

Scarier than any disease...

...is the bully.

Bo–a. Here.

What is this?

It's for the menu.

The drum sounded, pitter–patter.

It warned to be wary of him.

This isn't right.

I shouldn't be doing this.

What are you doing here so early?

I was removing flyers.

You're so hardworking.

(Strawberry Milk)

–You can have it. –Thank you.

Want me to throw them out?

–No, thanks. –Really?

–Yes. –See you later, then.

–Gyu–man. –Yeah?

Yeah, I need a wake–up call.

Do you know any guys...

...you can introduce me to?

What?

Will you set me up?

I want a boyfriend.

(Episode 4 – The Story of a Man and a Woman)

Why haven't you set me up?

Did you show them my picture?

The one from five years ago in Busan?

The one where I went like this...

...and like this? And the one I took last year...

...like this on the rooftop, where my legs looked long.

Did you show it to them?

My friends say they don't need to look at your pictures.

–Why not? –Let's be honest.

His friends and mine all live in this town.

–They all know you. –Boys from here are fine.

–I don't discriminate. –But they do.

They're all scared of you.

Me? Am I?

How am I scary? Which scumbag...

Which boy said that?

Is it okay if I learn who it is?

Calm down.

That's funny. How am I scary?

What do you mean why? I was really scared of you at first too.

When?

You don't remember...

...how we first met?

Bo–a, can you let Mi–na...

...be Snow White this time?

Why? No.

The class voted for me to do it.

Don't be like that.

A good person knows how to share.

Then what will I do?

Mirror, mirror, who is the fairest of all?

(Bluebird Kindergarten Talent Festival)

Kill Snow White.

–Got it? –Yes, my queen.

Mr. Hunter, where are you taking me?

You're going to have to die here.

Mr. Hunter.

Why are you doing this?

Because you're not really Snow White.

From now on, I'm Snow White!

I peed onstage right then, so my nickname...

...until I graduated elementary school was–– I remember!

Trying to get a date in this town would be hard.

Everyone knows you.

You don't know guys outside our town?

Actually, I do have one friend who's all right.

–He doesn't know Bo–a? –Of course not.

–Great! –But he said no.

Why?

He wants a woman who has job security,...

...like an elementary school teacher...

–...or a civil servant. –Hey.

I may be a part–timer at a fried chicken joint now,...

...but did you tell him I'm the future owner of a cafe?

When the chicken joint goes under, I'm going to open a cafe.

–It'll be soon. –He said...

...to call then.

Why do you suddenly want to be set up?

You refused before when we asked.

I've been a bit lonely lately.

I see any guy,...

...and my heart...

–...races. –Who?

I said any guy.

Bo–a.

I don't want you to ruin our 20–year friendship like this.

Sorry. That was a bit extreme for a joke.

Why are you always in my way?

–Sorry. –Darn it.

Go somewhere I can't see you!

Go over there!

Sir!

Here's your fried chicken.

How is it? Do you like it?

–No, not at all. –What?

You're even licking the bones.

I'm hungry, and this is free.

Is there another problem?

Do you normally stare when customers are eating?

Are you doing it to rub in my face that this is on the house?

Sorry.

Tell me.

What's the problem this time?

There's no problem.

Then why didn't you like it?

Because it's not great. It's just fried chicken you can find...

...anywhere in Korea. What's there to judge?

Fried chicken is fried chicken. It's chicken that's fried.

They're all the same.

–What did you say? –What?

You're not the only one with a bad temper.

We get customers now.

Once, we got seven tables in a day.

–Bo–a, six tables. –Right.

Six tables.

That's nothing to brag about.

Did you have any repeat customers?

No, right? Probably not.

No one would come twice for that.

Is it that awful?

Come on.

–What?

–I'll work for the food I ate. Hurry up.

Oh, okay!

Get the chicken out.

Okay.

Not brined but fresh chicken.

We don't have fresh chicken.

Part–timer, fresh chicken.

–What? –Go buy one.

Why are you so dense?

Where's the flour, starch, and glutinous rice flour?

–We use a batter mix. –That's nothing to brag about.

You heard me, right? Go buy it.

–Mr. Park. –I'll go buy it.

You peel onions and chop ginger.

Well? Get to it, you two.

Welcome...

Can I get some chicken?

The one in the worst condition.

We don't carry any like that.

Try and look.

I'll look.

Come in and wash your hands.

Me too? But I'm a server.

Stop. Let's add more glutinous rice flour.

More flour.

Stop, stop, stop.

What are you doing?

I said cut it into 10 pieces.

I don't...

You're the owner, yet you don't know how to cut up chicken?

I've always bought cut–up ones.

It's all brined and cut up by others,...

...and you get your batter, seasonings, and pickled radish

from others too!

How can you call this a fried chicken joint?

Hold the knife.

You butchered it all wrong.

Fry it up.

Give your part–timer some chicken so she knows how different...

...fried chicken can taste.

What's with him?

Mom?

Mom?

Hello?

Where'd you go, Mom?

You said you'd leave today.

I came home to take you to the station.

What?

I'm at Choi–go's work. Why are you so shocked?

Why'd you go there?

Can't I visit?

I have to give his team lead a word of advice before leaving.

It'll put Choi–go in a tough spot if you do that.

I'm doing it for his sake.

Maybe he did something to get on the team lead's bad side.

How could he go on a business trip for this long?

–And to a place where I can't even call him?

–Mom.

–I get it, but calm down and–– –No.

Hang up. I'm busy.

Mom? Mom?

This much?

I don't know. He seemed to be winging it.

(Showered with Good Chicken)

Can you go a bit faster?

If you're in that much of a rush,...

–...why didn't you come yesterday? –What?

I can't go any faster.

This isn't a plane, you know.

It's a red light.

–Here. –Thanks.

All right.

Will you hurry?

If you're in such a rush,...

...you should've paid yesterday.

Sheesh.

You'll confuse me if you rush me like that.

–It's out. Right. –It's out.

There's an order to things.

Thank you!

Mom! Mom! Mom!

Darn it.

Sir!

Sir! Oh no.

Sir!

Sir!

Choi–go?

You're Park Choi–go's mother?

Yes, hello.

Please have a seat.

My son's here.

You must be in shock.

I didn't know it'd happen either.

–What? –Choi–go quitting.

Last month, he gave me his resig––

What did he quit?

Let me explain.

What he means is––

You! You brat!

–Get over here! –Mom!

What were you thinking?

I had my reasons.

Move!

Choi–go!

That brat!

You brat! Stop right there.

I said stop!

Let's talk about this.

Stop right there!

I'll get you!

Stop right there!

You have to stop first for me to.

Let's talk about this.

Okay, so come here.

Let's talk.

–Stop right there. –You'll get hurt.

Stop running.

That brat. Choi–go!

Come here.

Let's talk this through.

–Get over here. –Let's talk.

Open this door.

You!

–Mom. –Are you out of your mind?

You quit a perfectly good job.

Are you out of your mind?

I'm sorry I quit without telling you,...

...but I opened my own business.

Opened your own business?

You left a job that gives you a monthly salary?

Why would you start a business?

What kind of business?

Well,...

...I can't tell you yet.

Son,...

...go back to your desk job.

Let's go meet with your CEO or president,...

–...and you and I–– –Give me three months.

–What? –In three months,...

...I'll turn it into a restaurant where you'll understand why I quit.

I'll explain then.

Restaurant? You said you're starting a business.

Sorry.

You!

(Korea 2018)

Choi–go! Darn it!

Stop right there!

Darn it!

You should live.

Tell her you had no idea.

Deny what?

Oh, you mean how you just got back from a business trip?

You'll be just fine.

Anyway, be careful.

Mom knows now, so it won't end this way.

I know.

You don't.

Mom would do whatever it takes if it's for our sake.

When I was young, I had bad handwriting.

Let's pick up from the last class.

Cold dessert, then a half.

Short.

One summer.

You understand up to here, right?

The academy said no.

But if I charge for two, what could they say to that?

Jun–hyuk, why aren't you studying?

It means winter is long.

You heard...

...what your tutors said, right?

They don't usually do private lessons but allowed them...

...because they were so sick of me.

Look.

No one sits near me.

The word "Celsius" is hard, right?

"Celsius," like this.

Next.

If that was all, it would've been fine.

But, once, I accidentally told her my older classmates made me...

...drink, and it was hard to take.

I am ground. Introduce yourself.

–Jumbo dumpling. –Chrysanthemum tea.

–Ddoson. –Squirrel.

–Pigeon. –Sleepy.

–Rabbit. –Baby bear.

–Stuck in a window. –Utility pole.

–Soda. –Superman.

–Jun–hyuk's mom. –Mom's son.

I am ground. Let us begin.

–Soda, two. –Soda, soda.

Sleepy, one.

Sleepy. Chrysanthemum tea, one.

I was 21,...

...but I begged her crying, asking...

...her not to follow me on school trips.

Thanks to you, when she came to mine, she only made us food.

She got her own hotel room too.

She retired her obsession...

...when you got the job at Myungsung.

She said that she had done enough.

I'm sure you quitting is a huge shock.

Choi–go.

–You sure you're not being followed?

–What?

You don't know her well enough.

You said Mom saw you get in a taxi.

–She wouldn't let you go like that. –Hold on.

Will you do a U–turn up there?

Don't just do it...

...but do it suddenly.

Jun–hyuk, it's Mom!

She's tailing me!

Are you a good driver?

I'll pay you double if you lose...

...the car behind us. No, quadruple.

(Showered with Good Chicken)

[K-Plus Asia ver.] The Best Chicken E04 Ripped & Synced by ordinaryguy92

Mr. Park.

Did you get money from loan sharks?

–What? –You look awful.

You look like you were buried alive and just barely made it out alive.

I was in a taxi...

–...but got out and hiked up a mountain.

–What?

I'm going to wash up.

This is the fried chicken that jerk made, right?

I'll taste it just because...

...I'm curious about how great it is.

–Wow. –Wow.

I'm upset it's so good.

Makes sense. He's a bum despite his talent...

...because he's a total jerk.

The brining and the batter...

...were run of the mill.

I looked into them before buying.

The brined chicken and the batter.

Don't worry about it. Your chicken recipe's good too.

I have to recruit him.

–What? –My chicken recipe wasn't ready,...

...and it's not right that I was only focused on the advertising.

I'll recruit him and get a whole new recipe.

Mr. Park, are you rich?

You pay my grandpa rent, and you pay me a paycheck.

And you bought ingredients.

And if you hire the bum,...

...how will you maintain costs to run the business?

–Well––

–And you saw his hands shake, right?

You'll have a man like him work in the kitchen?

Or serve in the dining area?

With that temper of his?

I'm sorry to say this since you're helping out so well,...

...but we won't last but a few months at this rate.

–Really? –Really.

So I need a game changer.

Fried chicken that will make people...

...return after eating it once.

–What are you doing? –I have to find him.

–Who? –My boss's game changer.

Her boss said...

...if he can't find him, he'll probably go under in a few months.

Why is she looking for him, then?

She's going to find him first and make him go away.

Where to?

Exile him to another country?

I'll find him a job...

...so he can't work for us.

You will? How will you do that?

Here.

Hand these out.

Buddy,...

...it'll take forever finding him with this.

He's a wandering bum without a home.

I have no choice.

If he's hired, the restaurant will do well.

Was it that good?

Wow. I want to try some.

Give me all your cash.

Hurry.

Find this person for us.

Is this enough?

Who's he?

Kwon Hyuk, the area's top delivery guy.

He does random work on the side.

Once paid, he gives you results.

Young–ho, get us coffee.

–Yes, ma'am. –I want a latte.

–I want a strawberry smoothie. –Come with me.

He won't eat.

–Who? –The new guy.

I said I'd take him to the soup kitchen,...

...but he'd rather starve. Let him be.

What's that got to do with me?

Don't worry. You know.

That's how they all start off,...

...but they follow when they're really on the verge of dying.

–Like you. –I don't care!

Excuse me.

Here, eat this.

Oh, come on.

You'll starve to death.

You haven't eaten...

...in four days.

What do you care?

I'm not like you people.

I don't want to live if I have to live as a bum.

What?

What a crazy guy.

Sleep on this. It gets cold at night.

Mister, come with me.

(Signal Lamp)

Hello. Hello.

Signal Lamp is a magazine...

...that was created to help support the homeless.

What are you doing?

Please go on.

If you sell the magazine, you can keep half of the profits.

It's a program that helps them...

...work instead of beg for money.

Signal Lamp...

...is a magazine that supports the homeless in becoming

self–sufficient.

I'm not doing this!

Why not? It's great.

I'm not the type to do this.

I was a chef. I can't sell magazines on the street.

I can't. I won't do it.

Chef? You aren't thinking right.

Are you going to be a bum forever?

Everyone had dreams at one point.

Leave the past in the past.

Life goes on.

I'll remain this way and die in the streets.

Don't worry about me.

Don't you want to live the good life again?

If you do this well, they provide you with housing.

It's pretty good money too.

You can get back on your feet.

Just try it for a day. Won't you?

I'll never sell all five.

No one's buying it.

Why won't they buy them?

Can't you be more patient?

We've only been at it for two hours.

I'm not doing this self–sufficient thing.

I'm not interested,...

...so you can do it.

You heard her.

–You have to do it every day for two weeks.

–No,...

...I didn't hear it.

If you leave, you'll be fired.

This is maddening.

(Showered with Good Chicken)

Bo–a, where are you? We're about to open.

–Are you sick? –Mr. Park.

Actually,...

...I'm coming down with a cold.

Did you eat?

–Should I make porridge and come up?

–No.

I'm a mess right now,...

...so please don't come up.

I'd like to take...

...the day off.

Is that okay?

Why won't he listen to me?

Where are you right now?

Bo–a.

It shows she saw the message.

Why won't she pick up?

Is she that sick?

Bo–a.

Are you all right?

–Bo–a. –Mr. Park!

Mr. Park! Customer!

I'd like some fried chicken!

Chicken! Chicken! Chicken!

What is she doing?

No one's here.

It was the wind.

The wind?

–It was windy earlier, right? –Yeah.

Oh my.

Your fried chicken's great.

Why is she dressed like that?

I have no idea what she's been up to.

Bo–a, I'm coming in.

I'm really coming in.

Bo–a.

Mr. Park.

Are you all right?

I couldn't get in touch with you,...

...so I was worried something bad happened.

I'm fine.

You worry too much.

Then get up and have some porridge.

What?

That's okay. Leave it. I'll eat it.

Don't be like that. Have some.

I'll leave when you're done.

That's okay.

Bo–a,...

...you didn't eat anything all day, right?

I'm not hungry.

Please leave it and go.

I know you don't have an appetite,...

...but you have to eat to regain your strength.

Get up for a second.

Get up.

I'm sorry. I didn't mean to do that.

I can't get up because I'm in too much pain.

–So... –You're that sick?

No.

What are you doing?

Don't move.

It cooled, so it won't be hot.

Ah.

–What? –Say "ah."

Does it taste okay?

Yeah, it's yummy.

–Can I get more? –Sure.

You should chew the food. Don't just swallow it.

You don't need to chew porridge.

More, please.

Is there any left?

I couldn't find him today...

...even though I scoured the whole town.

I see.

Had I known,...

...I would've asked for his name.

Bo–a.

Get well soon.

Right now, you are the only person...

...who is on my side.

Take tomorrow off too.

Don't worry about work.

The last bite.

Get some rest.

Get a hold of yourself.

What?

You again?

It was five before. Why are there 10 now?

I sold all of yesterday's...

...and bought these with the profits.

You sold all five in one day?

–Who sold them? –If you sell all 10,...

...you'll get 25,000 won out of the 50,000 won.

You can try to be self–sufficient with that...

...or use it as a pillow.

I've done enough for you.

And I'm warning you.

Don't follow random people.

There are lots of scammers...

...who'll pretend to offer you jobs.

Though I'm not like that.

How'd you sell them?

No one would buy them.

I just learned this,...

...but there are lots of good people in the world.

You'll learn it too after working one day.

Oh yeah.

This is most important. There's a designated place to sell these.

You can't sell them in our neighborhood.

Go three subway stops away. Sell them only there.

While we're on the subject,...

...living near your work changes your life.

You should move over there.

Got it?

She's weird.

Yeah, definitely weird.

She's not normal.

Bo–a!

I just came downstairs.

I told you to take the day off.

It's okay. I'm all better.

–Really? –Yes.

Are you going out?

Yeah.

I have to look for him today too.

Hey.

Eat.

You haven't eaten in a few days, so that's the only thing you

can stomach.

No, thanks.

I'll just die this way.

–I'm not like you people. –You think you're different, huh?

But everyone who lives this life...

...is all the same.

They were like you at first.

They held on tight to their pride.

They were ill–tempered.

Listen good.

When sleeping outside with the dewdrops doesn't feel

sad anymore,...

...when eating at a soup kitchen...

...no longer damages your pride,...

...that's when this lifestyle will feel longer.

It's not too late for you.

If you eat that and regain your strength,

you can go back to your old life.

You can place your belongings inside.

I can't spend this money.

I'll buy you some drinks next time.

I'm going to keep this till I die.

Why be that way when your family's loaded?

...worth at least three months of salary.

But that's different.

This is the first paycheck I earned.

–What? –Nothing.

Will you exchange this for Korean won?

It can't be helped.

If you couldn't find him despite how hard you looked,...

...it wasn't meant to be.

But you tasted his...

...fried chicken too.

You said you scoured the town.

He probably went somewhere far.

Come on. Let's just do this,...

...you and me.

Let's just do it, you and me.

I want to return to cooking.

What?

Thanks to you,...

...I want to live the good life again.

Thanks to me?

But as you can see,...

...I can't go back to the kitchen.

Unless it's for a hole–in–the–wall fried chicken joint like this.

So,...

...starting today, I will work for you.

I, Andrew Kang, the sous–chef...

...of a Michelin three–star restaurant.

I hope we get customers tomorrow.

–I'm really desperate. –Then do your best.
