I've rented out the sauna.

–Get out. –Grandpa!

I'm going to open a fried chicken joint.

Want to work with me?

–I need a special plan. –You are so cruel.

Seo Bo–a! What is this?

–Go under! –When I worked my desk job,...

–...people asked why I was so sad. –One, two, three.

But these days, life is fun.

You call this fried chicken?

You don't have an understanding of ingredients yet.

Have you heard of the Fried Chicken Tasting Competition?

I need a definite plan.

First place, Seo Bo–a!

It must be the end of the world...

...if this jerk Jin–sang has an ad.

They all agreed I didn't copy yours.

Unlike you, I don't take from others.

–I see any guy, and my heart races. –Sir!

I'll show you how different frying up chicken can be.

Wow. I didn't find him today,...

...even though I scoured the whole town.

Get well soon. Right now, you are the only person who is on my side.

The drum sounded, pitter–patter.

So starting today, I, Andrew Kang, will work for you.

(Seonhwa Sauna)

I want to cook again,...

...thanks to you.

–Because of me? –I want to live...

...the good life again.

For the past month,...

...nothing has worked out the way I want it.

Darn it.

Why is this happening to me?

That's hot!

I've spent a day's worth of energy.

I'll get some rest at work.

Wow!

(Episode 5 – The Little Prince of the Capitalism Star)

(No Smoking)

Bo–a?

Mi–na!

–What are you doing here at this hour? –You're free, right?

–Come with me. –But...

What?

I thought it was Bo–a, but I heard wrong.

–Wash your hands. –What?

You touched your hair. Wash your hands.

Oh.

Cut deep into it and pull the bone out.

How?

–Like this? –Are you making a boneless drumstick...

...or a rag?

Use the blade to split the drumstick.

Break the bone. Use your full strength.

(Toothbrush Holder)

You're not being thrifty. That's unlike you.

Which one's better?

This one. What are you going to do?

You are being bad to the Bo–a of next month,...

–...this month's Bo–a. –That's not true.

Last month's Bo–a worked hard,...

...so this month's Bo–a gets to enjoy it.

–What do you mean? –I got paid.

A whole lot.

I'm totally rich now.

You're not the boss but a bum.

Sir!

Andrew Kang.

Oh, Andrew.

The rent, the part–timer's pay, and the ingredients...

...will be about two million won. How long can you last?

About three months?

But we have to turn it around before then.

Just three months?

You don't think we can?

If people taste your fried chicken recipe,...

–...the people will talk–– –There's a saying in the dining industry.

No matter how good what you're selling is,...

...it'll take six months to make it known.

That long?

It could be longer or shorter.

It's what people say.

Then... what do I do?

Well,...

...we should hope luck's on our side.

Hope that customers realize quickly how good our fried chicken is.

Or...

...try harder.

We still have a while to go before it gets cold.

Brat.

I will use it as my foot towel.

You should have given it to him in person.

No.

This is just–– You know what they say.

Kill your enemy with kindness.

–That's what it is. –What?

How can you say that...

...about your own grandpa?

It's how the proverb goes.

Fine, hurt the one you dislike with kindness.

I bought too much corn for myself even though I live alone.

If there are bums around, they can take some.

I don't know whose grandpa he is,...

...but he is just like you.

How can you say that to your friend?

Easy.

–Whoa! –Bo–a, you're amazing!

Wow, I really wanted this.

Thanks.

Thank you so much.

I feel it was worth all the evil deeds...

...I have done for you.

What did she get you?

Wow. Is it real gold?

–Of course. –Sparkling.

14K?

–10K. –Is 10K gold?

Watch it. Of course.

You sure you can spend on us like this?

Of course.

I get paid 10,000 won an hour.

Have you ever made 1.5 million won a month before?

The quality of life changes completely.

My granddad can't earn good money because he runs saunas.

It's so behind the times.

I'm going to start that cafe soon...

...and earn more than two million won in a month.

You haven't made more than that before, have you?

You have?

–You too? –Why wouldn't I have?

Can't you see that I'm the most fashionable...

...among us?

Can't you see?

Wait.

You got paid.

Can you take three days off?

–Three days? –Yes.

Let's go on a trip.

You've never been on a plane before.

She can't go on a trip.

Yeah, remember when we dragged her...

...to Busan five years ago?

She'd have the most fun out of all of us once she goes.

But she says she doesn't want to go. She says she likes to be home.

She said it over and over again.

Her itinerary was the first and second floors of her house.

The real estate office, then the first floor and second floor. That's just how she is.

Should we go?

–What? –What?

Let's go.

Sure, why not? It's no big deal.

Wow, unbelievable.

We're really going to go to Jeju Island?

Just us four?

Do you have money for a flight?

It'll cost a pretty penny if you add lodging too.

You spent a lot this month.

I can charge it and pay it off in a three–month installment.

What if the fried chicken joint goes under in three months?

But...

...working there, I feel...

...it won't go under so quickly.

If it takes time going under, it's okay. As long as it goes under.

I wasn't sure,...

–...but now I'm certain it's begun. –What's begun?

You know "The Little Prince," right?

Of course. There's a boa constrictor in the story.

What about it?

In the story,...

...the Little Prince domesticates a fox.

By domesticate,...

...simply, it is this.

Let's say at the end of each month, she gets a paycheck.

Then, starting the 25th, you will feel happy.

The closer the last of the month gets,...

...you'll grow more and more happy.

When the last day of the month comes,...

...your heart will race and grow very anxious.

Once the fox knows how it feels to have money,...

...she can never revert to the wild fox she once was.

She completely submits to capitalism.

What happens to the domesticated fox?

It's obvious.

She becomes very domesticated...

...and then gets abandoned.

What?

He returns to his own star...

...to find his first love, a rose.

That jerk.

You be careful.

That's what being a slave to capitalism is about.

It's getting a steady paycheck and charging your credit card.

Then you are domesticated by capitalism.

I heard "The Little Prince" was a famous book.

So that's what it was about.

How profound.

I only read the beginning part,...

...so I thought it was about the boa constrictor eating an elephant.

What's certain is once domesticated,...

...you'll become super dependent on him.

You'll be anxious about when you'll be abandoned.

You'll start to watch what you do in front of him.

No way.

Mr. Park wouldn't fire me.

You never know.

You get paid 10,000 won an hour.

If the fried chicken joint is a huge success...

...and you don't get your cafe,...

...what if you get fired?

You'll just be a part–timer worth a 7,530–won minimum wage.

Do you think you can keep working comfortably without minding him?

–No. –It'd be better...

...to pay us in installments.

This month, me.

Next month, Young–ho. The next month, Gyu–man.

–Interest–free. –Okay.

I have my wits about me now.

You shouldn't be intoxicated by golden eggs when you have...

...a goose that lays them.

Of course not.

Bo–a, what is that?

I found it on the way.

I'm going to eat them all by myself, so don't covet them.

–I wasn't. –Jerk.

–What? –Oh yeah.

I'm glad you're here. I have something to tell you.

–What is it? –I'm taking time off.

For two nights and three days.

I won't listen even if you say I can't.

I won't grow wary of you.

I won't ever get domesticated.

–What? –Two nights, three days. Is that okay?

Sure.

Bo–a, are you busy right now?

Why?

We're going to change the recipe today.

Want to try some?

What is this?

How is it?

It's...

How'd you make this?

–The one Edward–– –This is even better, right?

It's Andrew, not Edward.

How'd you make this?

I made it just as Anthony taught me from start to finish.

From cutting the chicken, brining it, to the batter.

We did it all here.

It's not Anthony but Andrew.

It takes a long time, but it tastes different.

How should I put it?

It's on a whole different level.

Alexander, what were you before?

Is it really true about the Michelin star thing?

Alexander?

Who is Alexander?

That's Alexander the Great.

I'm Andrew! Andrew!

(Showered with Good Chicken)

We changed the recipe,...

...so how could we not get a single table of customers?

I kept getting calls from those I want to avoid.

(Mom)

How could you leave a perfectly good job?

Are you out of your mind?

I opened my own business.

Opened your own business?

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 everything then.

There's a saying in the dining industry.

No matter how good what you're selling is,...

...it'll take six months to make it known.

That long?

It could be longer or shorter.

It's what people say.

Then... what do I do?

Well,...

...we should hope luck's on our side.

Hope that customers realize quickly how good our fried chicken is.

Or...

...try harder.

Try harder?

Yeah, like...

...making deliveries.

("The Little Prince")

What? The fox begs first...

...to be domesticated.

Darn it.

What's with her?

The problem is women with poor taste in men.

Then again, that's the life she chose. No one can stop her.

What are you doing there?

Sorry. I was loud, huh?

Ouch.

I didn't wake you, did I?

You did wake me.

How do you not know how to ride a bike?

Get off.

Get on.

What are you doing?

Oh, right.

Watch. This is how you ride a bike.

Okay.

You saw, right? That's how you ride a bike.

Okay.

Come on. Get on.

You fall and get on time and again.

Okay.

Here we go.

Go.

–You can do it. –Slowly.

–Slowly. –Okay.

–Don't let go. –I won't.

–Here we go. –Wait.

–Don't let go. –I won't.

I'm holding on.

–You haven't let go, right? –No.

–You haven't let go, right? –No.

–I haven't let go. –Whoa.

Good! Hold on.

–I'm getting the hang of it. –Yup.

I haven't let go.

–Don't let go. –I won't.

There you go!

–I haven't got the hang of it. –You're doing fine.

A little bit more.

I can do it. I think I got it.

You're good.

Whoa.

–I'm getting the hang of it, right? –Yes, you're doing well.

–How am I doing? –You're doing really well.

This is all thanks to you.

Want to stay...

...for some corn?

Why are you riding a bike this late at night?

Actually, I was thinking of making deliveries.

Deliveries? On a bike?

Are you Uhm Bok–dong?

–Uhm what? –The king of cycling.

I was going to learn to ride a scooter,...

...and I heard it's easier to learn if you learn to bike first.

How could you not learn to bike at that age?

Yeah.

If it were a school subject,...

...I would've rode the bike like a champ.

What?

My mom was what people call a "helicopter mom."

She's very particular.

If it was for grades,...

...she'd have sent me to get private lessons...

...or taught it to me herself.

That's what she would've done.

And yet she let you quit your desk job at a big company...

...to start your own fried chicken joint?

I kept it a secret from her,...

...but I was caught a few days ago.

That was the day I was in the mountains.

I promised her that day...

...that I'd make it successful in three months...

...so she would accept it.

I should've said six months.

You're great at bicycling.

Who taught you?

Your grandpa?

My mom.

She said if I couldn't ride a bike,...

...people would know I grew up without a dad.

Did he pass away when you were young?

I don't know whether he's dead or alive.

I hope we get customers tomorrow.

I'm really desperate.

Me too.

Welcome.

Right this way.

May I take your order?

–Fried chicken, please. –Sure.

–Here's your fried chicken. –Thank you.

–Enjoy. –Thank you.

No, I shouldn't feel this way.

Welcome.

Right this way.

He's the owner.

They look alike.

Thank you.

Enjoy.

One moment.

Part–timer.

Right this way.

How did this happen?

I'm desperate too.

(Closed)

Yes! Wahoo!

(We are closed because we ran out of ingredients)

It's the first time you have closed after running out, huh?

Mr. Park,...

...did you do something without my knowing?

–What? –I mean,...

...like paid for a blogger ad.

–You know, things like that. –He's too much of a bum to.

Looks who's calling who a bum.

–What? –Nothing.

I don't know what happened,...

...but I hope every day is like today.

Yeah, if it goes on this way,...

...we'll be a success soon.

Because my recipe is perfect.

I think the advertising we did...

...is finally paying off.

Thanks.

It was nothing.

Tomorrow, let's buy twice the chicken we had today.

Okay, should we start now?

Twice? How will you sell all that?

I don't know how we got so many customers,...

...but we should take advantage of the situation while we can.

You come too. To prepare twice as much,...

...the three of us need to pull an all–nighter.

Why should I? I'm off the clock now.

You know I'm going on vacation tomorrow, right?

Going on vacation?

We just started getting customers. What vacation?

Mr. Park said I could. What do you care, Andy?

–It's not Andy. –Eric.

Like Eric said, can't you put off the vacation for a few days?

You all like mythology.

It's Andrew. Andrew.

–Mr. Park. –What if we get a crowd like today's?

We couldn't handle it without you.

Can't you stay?

No.

I'm off.

Was it some kind of special holiday?

Like Fried Chicken Day or something?

–Fried Chicken Day? –Like a day to eat chicken.

That's on September 9th.

–Was it that busy? –Yes.

They changed up the recipe and are thrilled with themselves.

They prepared so many chickens.

I told them not to and that they are overdoing it.

And just as I expected,...

...even the one or two tables of customers...

...we had stopped coming.

So how many did you sell today?

All of them.

–Really? Out of the blue? –Yeah.

But it might go back to how it was before.

Why?

The two of them are saying they want to sell twice as much.

They are working all night preparing and brining the chicken.

They can't sell all that.

Today was just a lucky day.

Yeah, too bad.

What really breaks people isn't despair...

...but false hope.

I know.

I just did exactly as you told me.

–Easy, huh? –Yeah, it's great.

I'm so excited.

Sheesh, you brat.

You're always the most excited when we go on trips.

–Why were you so reluctant before? –What should we eat once we're there?

I saw on the internet that on Jeju Island,...

...omegi–tteok and black pig are popular.

What else was there?

Don't worry.

I told Gyu–man to handle where we're going to eat.

You're so smart.

This is my first time on a plane. What will I do?

I'm so excited.

(Seonhwa Sauna)

Again?

The interior is fun.

Enjoy.

–How could it be so full during the day? –We're so busy.

Must you go on vacation?

–I bought the ticket already. –Bo–a.

–Don't worry and go. –What?

Luckily, it's Sunday, so I'm going to call...

...my brother to ask for help.

You sure you'll be all right?

You worked hard all year,...

...and you're taking just two days off.

I thought about it last night...

...and realized I made you uncomfortable by saying something unnecessary.

I wasn't that uncomfortable.

Alex and I'll take care of things here.

My name is not Alex.

Go and have a great time.

Welcome.

Why isn't she here yet?

She didn't sleep in, did she?

Sheesh.

The bus! Call her!

I've been calling her, but she won't pick up.

Darn it!

Hello, Mr. Driver.

We're waiting for a friend.

Then take the next bus.

–Guys! –Hey!

–Bo–a! –Hurry!

–Run! –Hurry!

(Airport Limousine)

–What's wrong? –What?

Yesterday, you were...

...on cloud nine about the trip.

Why are you so calm today?

What, are you scared to get on the plane?

–Huh? –I'm excited.

The plane's not so scary once you get on.

Jeju Island is so close that once your butt hits...

...the seats, it's time to get off.

But if you fly to Europe,...

–...then it will take 13 hours–– –Hey!

Okay.

Let's all take a nap.

To party all night, I need to get some sleep.

Hey,...

...the flight will be over the minute our butts hit the seats,...

...so why'd you bring that pillow?

If you ever take a trip to Europe,...

...you learn to be prepared.

Do you want to die or shut it?

I'll shut it.

It won't be easy...

...to serve customers without experience.

I hope there aren't too many customers.

[K-Plus Asia ver.] The Best Chicken E05 Ripped & Synced by ordinaryguy92

Bo–a.

Don't worry and go have fun.

[NOTE: This part is not included in K-Plus Asia's version]

What? Why is it so crowded?

Is that really my restaurant?

Why would there be so many people at this hour?

Look at another area.

–Whoa. –What's going on?

Unbelievable.

Can you show me the outside?

Wow.

We're fourth.

We're fifth.

Let's go play pool now.

Sorry.

Sorry.

Sorry.

Darn it.

–Why put the dirty chicken on the plate? –Sorry.

You don't know what to do at all.

You let that weirdo go on vacation...

...and brought that idiot in?

Did he make another mistake?

Another order of fried chicken for table four.

I guess he spilled it.

Excuse me. We ordered a beer a while ago.

Coming.

There's one person on our side.

What?

This person. The oriental medicine doctor.

Sorry. Sorry.

Book smarts and common sense are two very different things.

Right?

Bo–a.

Get well soon.

Right now, you are the only person

who is on my side.

I hope we get customers tomorrow.

I'm really desperate.

I'm being domesticated.

What?

I bet he spent money to get those customers.

How else could a restaurant that was so empty be so full of people...

...two days in a row?

But don't worry.

Whether he did it through blog ads or social media ads,...

...the joint's popularity will soon fade.

Get recharged on Jeju Island...

...and destroy that darn fried chicken joint...

...after we return.

Don't worry about it and take a nap.

You can't do anything about it from here.

The doctor was pulling your weight for you.

Yeah, I'll forget about it and sleep.

We'd like to pay now.

Coming.

–Fry it up again. –What?

You didn't coat them properly, and they don't look even.

Would you pay for chicken that is like that?

–Can we order? –What? Just a moment, please.

–Water, please. –One moment.

Here's your chicken.

We ordered the garlic chicken.

I'm sorry. Please wait a moment, and I'll prepare it for you.

Can we pay, please?

I'll do it for you.

That'll be 18,000 won.

–Bo–a! –Thank you.

Right this way.

Let me know when you're ready to order.

Can I get that garlic chicken?

Sorry. I'll ask the chef.

Table six, garlic chicken. Table two, seasoned fried chicken, quick.

What happened, Bo–a?

Can't you see you're backed up?

Go fry the chickens.

Okay.

What about your vacation?

I don't know, okay?

The flight was canceled.

What do you mean? The weather's great.

Why are you asking me? Go ask the plane!

You made a mess of the dining area, and you dare ask questions?

What? Bo–a got off?

She wants us to go...

...to Jeju Island without her? Why?

I sent someone to see how the restaurant was doing,...

...and there was a huge crowd of customers.

All the tables were full, and there was a line outside.

The place is going to be a huge success at this rate.

Still, she took time off.

Yeah, it's a good thing if they're short–staffed.

Why'd she go to help?

I doubt she went to help out.

If the chicken is delicious, the service...

...should at least be bad to get them poor reviews.

It was a huge mess,...

...but she really wanted to go and mess it up even better.

Yeah, I mean, she found out...

...how well the joint was doing,...

...so she couldn't have enjoyed the trip anyway.

Poor Bo–a.

She's missing out on yet another plane ride.

But just us three going is...

It's a bit uncomfortable, no?

–Should we get off? –Should we?

–The chicken was delicious. –That's great.

I'm from Gyeonggi–do.

The line was so long I thought about leaving.

Gyeonggi–do? How'd you hear about our restaurant from there?

–I saw the webtoon. –Webtoon?

You didn't know?

Look.

(Showered with Good Chicken)

It's gone viral with the internet community.

–What were they thinking? –Crazy.

How would one eat chicken after this? I lost my appetite.

That's one bold flyer. The owner must be a weirdo.

I feel bad for the mother chicken.

–That's quite the flyer. –It's true, though.

I feel bad for the chicken.

But you'll still eat it, right? Fried chicken is the best.

Yeah. I'll pretend I didn't see it.

–I wonder how their chicken tastes. –Where is this place?

–Has anyone tried it? –I'm curious too.

–Is it good? –100 percent guaranteed it sucks.

There should be reviews by now. Has anyone tried it?

Wow, no one. I guess it went out of business.

If I get 50 likes, I'll try it out.

–You must take a picture there. –Yoo–jin, let's go there.

–Here's your order. –Thank you.

This is Showered with Good Chicken.

This is a foodie program, "Yum Yum Slurp Slurp."

We're calling because of the flyer that went viral.

What?

Are you the owner?

We're not interested.

If you do our show,...

...it'll be great advertising for your restaurant.

We already do well with how good the food is.

No, thanks. Please don't call back.

This is why I hate foodie shows.

Who was that?

Voice phishing.

This is terrible.

Hello? Hello?

Did she just hang up?

–She doesn't want to be on the show? –No.

She said the food being good brings in enough customers.

–She said not to call back. –Oh my.

That's the kind of place that's a real must–eat restaurant.

–Really? –You're lucky.

It's hard to find a good restaurant that hasn't already been on TV.

There are no reviews on the internet,...

...so I was going to let it go.

(Showered with Good Chicken)

Then I'll take this one instead of the budae jjigae place.

Showered with Good Chicken.

(Showered with Good Chicken)

Table five, half fried and half seasoned.

Table two, two orders of fried chicken.

Table seven, soy sauce chicken with extra sauce.

What will we do?

What? What's the problem?

We're sold out?

When you prepared double what we normally have?

I'm sorry, but we have run out of ingredients.

We're very sorry.

I waited a whole hour.

I waited two hours.

If you return, I'll make you great fried chicken.

I'm really sorry.

Sorry.

I'm really sorry. Sorry.

–But... –I'll make you delicious fried chicken.

Goodbye. Sorry.

Next time!

Goodbye.

I'm dying.

Good work.

He didn't do good work.

He put our dishes and cups through suffering.

They didn't suffer. They shattered.

You did a good job.

Thank you.

Who keeps saying thanks?

My flight was canceled.

Still.

I'm worn out but very happy.

Happy? Why?

I'm sad.

I hated working overtime when I worked my desk job.

And I had a hard time when I had a big load of work.

That's how I feel right now. I feel like death.

Are you that happy?

Yes.

I'm glad at least one of us is happy.

Bo–a?

Where were you headed today, dressed up so pretty?

What?

Jeju Island with friends.

What? Are you hitting on her?

No, I wasn't.

I'm sorry. We're closed for...

Don't tell me this is your restaurant.

Let's talk outside.

Who's she?

His first love.

How'd she know he was here?

He left the fox to find the rose,...

...and the Little Prince said...

Why are you here?

How'd you know I'd be here?

Long time no see.

Is this really your restaurant?

It's your fault.

I didn't want to break your heart.

But you wanted to be domesticated.

You seem to be having fun.

What?

I didn't know,...

...but I think I missed you.

If you're domesticated by someone,...

...you'll end up weeping.

(The Best Chicken)

Let's clap to say welcome!

Alcohol goes down so fine!

I'm okay, but are you?

You hugged him, and now you want to date him?

She taught me how good...

–...fried chicken was with beer. –I'll destroy this chicken joint.

You watched it on TV, right? It's the hottest foodie show right now.

We're not doing it.

–Mr. Park! –Bo–a!

Why aren't you coming up?
