(Episode 13)
- Do this quickly. - Is it ready?
Let's hurry up!
- Wash these. - Yes, ma'am.
Okay.
Great work today.
The last person to leave the kitchen will take turns inspecting.
Make sure you check everything before leaving. That's all.
- Good work. - Good work.
Should I put these in the fridge?
Of course, you should throw out all the unused vegetables.
Throw them out?
They're already prepped and washed.
If they're stored in the fridge, do you think they'll taste fresh?
What about the dried kelp and dried anchovies?
The dried kelp smells off because of a storage problem,
and dried anchovies aren't fresh, so they should be thrown out.
Then...
could I take them home with me?
We strictly prohibit taking ingredients out of the restaurant.
What are you doing here so late?
You haven't gone home yet?
We have an important guest tomorrow, so I'm preparing for it.
I see. I'll get this out of the way.
What were you trying to do?
The ingredients that were going into the trash are hard to come by,
so I was going to make a broth out of them.
Are you familiar with the ingredients?
I know if I try them.
Should I try it too?
Your broth?
No, it's not complete yet!
It's good for making sujebi with friends.
I'm sorry.
What are you doing? Get out.
Yes, ma'am. I'll see you tomorrow.
Keep up the good work.
I mean, you're working hard.
I mean, what should I say?
I'll decide whether to do good work or work hard.
Just go home. I don't have much time.
Yes, ma'am. I'll be on my way.
Why are you smiling?
I guess I'm really getting older.
The young kids look so cute to me.
Did you just get home?
Why the long face?
I tried too hard and got embarrassed again.
By whom?
I think the boss doesn't like me.
Why not?
They punished you for that?
I wasn't punished,
but she said it's good for making sujebi with my friends.
Doesn't she mean I ruined all the expensive ingredients?
You must be tired. Just go to bed.
By the way, I keep feeling like I've seen my boss somewhere before.
Where do I know her from?
Where would you have seen her? They probably just look alike.
Who did you learn cooking from?
They didn't even teach you to rinse your mouth when seasoning?
Mrs. Choi.
If the taste of the broth is still in your mouth,
how can you properly taste something else?
I see!
I don't know why I didn't think of that.
It's probably because you're stupid.
Oh, my.
Aunt, are you still working?
Go get two packs of boiled anchovies from storage.
For whom?
There's someone in the kitchen giving it her all.
What?
This isn't it. What's off?
You stayed behind to make some broth, I see.
Chef Choi.
I don't think I ever approved this.
I'm sorry.
I didn't think to ask you for permission.
You didn't think of it, so you didn't report it to me.
Are you cut out for working?
I won't do it again. I'm sorry.
This is the boiled anchovy that I'd only heard of.
So this is how it tastes!
But why are you giving this to me?
Her eyes shine so brightly.
They say people are the best asset. Hold onto her.
You haven't been able to see Young Shin a lot lately, right?
We chat for an hour every night before bed.
She must be exhausted.
Are you following me? Aren't you going home?
I'm going to study a bit at the library too.
Did you take the wrong pills this morning?
We're a campus couple.
We should show everyone how we study together at the library.
Why are you going to the library to show off?
Hey.
We've never had coffee at a nice cafe.
Isn't that a problem?
Who has time for that?
Let's study and have some coffee when we get a chance.
I hate when guys put their bags down and play around at the library.
They just take up space.
Stop joking around and just head home early.
Young Shin isn't there either. Why should I go home early?
Hello?
Yes, okay.
Goodbye.
Grandma, Mr. Jung called saying to come have...
a drink at the Diner if you're awake.
Yes, Mr. Jung, if you're awake, have some acorn jelly and makgeolli.
I guess Oh Bok didn't come.
He didn't want to drink with us oldies, so he went to play pool.
Since Young Shin comes late, I guess you're bored.
I lived alone before,
but now I don't know what to do until she comes home.
Having a drink all together without the kids...
is actually pretty nice!
I don't see much of Da Jung lately either.
All kids are like that when they get older.
Do you have conversations with Jung Hoon?
Conversation? It's hard to get in five words a day.
Besides asking me for money,
why would he want to talk to me?
So, his mother...
is apparently sending him tuition and spending money.
Adult sons and fathers are all like that.
How about finding some other work?
My friends are all getting ready to retire.
Doesn't it feel like a waste to work for someone?
Why would it be a waste?
You used to work at a big company, but you're stuck in the country.
Aren't you curious about the rest of the world?
It's been a long time since I've been curious or wanted more.
Same here.
You've been like that since you were young.
I also want to minimize my life and grow old with a light feeling.
It's my last wish.
Haven't you always been someone who threw things away?
What else do you have to throw out?
You'd have to shave your head and go to the mountain.
Should I get some more makgeolli?
By the way, Gyung Soo, you're too young to be stuck here.
Aren't you just 35 now?
I can't believe I'm not older already.
Already? You're so young!
Let's send away these long winter nights...
with a drink!
- Cheers! - Cheers!
It tastes good.
We should get together like this every day!
Come any time. I'll be open.
Okay!
Hey, I hear that movie's good. Do you want to go see it?
No, I need to study.
From what I've seen of medical school,
they accept students and make them study until the brink of death,
and their goal is to ruin their character one by one.
What?
If it's this bad in your first year,
I can't imagine what they'll make out of you...
when you're an intern or resident.
You're starting to act like a jerk.
Why are you going that way? Aren't you going to the library?
Today's Young Shin's day off.
Why do I have to sit in the library worrying about what you think of me?
It's your day off. Go hang out with Da Jung and catch a movie.
She's busy lately.
Busy with college and dating.
I don't know if I'm even dating. I feel numb.
You came by yourself?
Where's Jung Hoon?
I'm more interested in hanging out with you than dating him,
so I left him at the library.
What?
Do other people have relationships like this too?
What are you two like?
From elementary school to high school to college,
we've been exactly the same.
How can you be the same? You should get more serious.
How could I do that?
Try your best.
He keeps getting stiffer the more I know him.
What exactly do you mean by stiff?
I feel mortified.
They say you have to deal with that in any relationship.
In elementary school, even when he was a bit arrogant,
didn't he always give me my way?
Of course.
How could he get the upper hand? He couldn't dare to.
(Park Jung Hoon, Lee Da Jung)
Oh Bok, you did that, didn't you?
Me?
You don't have any evidence!
If it's not you, who would do something so childish?
Get over here!
Let's fight!
What is this all about?
You're embarrassing her!
I don't need to use my words with a kid like him.
Da Jung and Jung Hoon, sitting in a tree.
- Hey! Stop it! - K-I-S-S-I-N-G.
- I said, stop it! - Da Jung and Jung Hoon sitting...
- on a tree. First comes love. - Hey! Stop it!
How can you study right now?
You should've erased that since you came early.
How could you leave that up until now?
You let all the kids make fun of her.
How could you do this?
Why would you get upset about kids making silly jokes?
What? Kids?
Aren't you a kid yourself?
Oh Bok is driving me nuts!
I really want to live in a world without Oh Bok.
Seriously. What's wrong with him?
Wait for me, Da Jung.
Don't talk to me at school from now on.
Do you mean that?
You're so mean, Da Jung.
They made those jokes because you're acting friendly.
Just ignore them.
How could I do that?
They are going to make up all kinds of rumors.
What if they do?
Are you upset that they think we're close?
Yes. It makes me so upset.
Starting today, don't come over to our house to study.
That's an order.
I won't talk to you in school,
but let me come over to your house to study.
I give up.
Do you like me so much?
Like I told you.
You're the only one that I want to be closer to in class.
That's none of my business.
Let him come over to study, Da Jung.
If you stop him from that, it'd be too inhumane.
Inhumane?
Well, isn't this when you use that word?
Inhumane.
Don't you talk to me in school.
Okay,
I won't talk to you when kids are around.
My gosh. Seriously.
Have you no pride?
We're closed now.
Hey, you're here.
Can you make me a ramyeon?
It would've been nice if you came earlier for dinner.
Let me try the ramyeon...
that the chef's assistant at the top Korean restaurant makes.
If you have something to say, say it now.
Isn't that why you're here?
I don't have much to say.
I'm just here to see you.
That's new of you. You're busy.
Jung Hoon,
are things going well with Da Jung?
There's nothing much between us.
You must be busy with your studies, but make time to go out on dates.
I understand that you're busy with your medical studies,
but Da Jung is a giddy freshman.
I should get going since I saw you.
You look haggard.
I'll take care of that,
so you take care of Da Jung. Okay?
Take care of yourself.
See you on your next day off.
He's not answering my questions.
Do kids these days have herbal medicine too?
What do you mean?
Well, you said...
Jung Hoon studies at the library and doesn't eat properly.
Why would you be worried?
Of course, I should.
We can't have a doctor for a son-in-law for nothing.
What?
Who are you calling our son-in-law?
All the people in town think of him as our future son-in-law.
Mom. Are you already in the mood?
Why?
Am I not suited to have a doctor for a son-in-law?
Please let us know by 4 p.m...
if the reservation for dinner will go as scheduled.
Is there anything I can do for you?
It's about last time.
You said you've seen Mrs. Choi in the past.
Yes.
Do you remember where it was?
Why would you ask?
I was just curious.
Do you remember?
I'll let you know when I remember.
All right. Do that for me.
By the way,
don't tell Mrs. Choi that we had this talk.
I won't.
Take a break and make me an orange juice.
I will bring it to you in ten minutes.
You are late today.
How is Jun Young doing in the restaurant these days?
He had a fight in a club in Gangnam after having a drink.
Jong Woo went to the police station in Seoul to get him.
What?
What are you talking about?
They might write articles that he's in our family at this rate.
My goodness.
Why does he keep disappointing us?
You're still awake.
Why are you just standing there?
Say hello to your uncle and go upstairs.
I'm back.
Jun Young, come here and sit.
He went out for a drink as he was stressed out with his studies.
He got caught up in a fight trying to stop his friend.
Tell him you're sorry.
What did I do wrong?
How dare he glare at me and be smirky?
I wanted to beat him to death and pay for it, but I held it in.
Take him upstairs.
What the heck is wrong with you?
Do you want me to take pills and end my life?
For goodness' sake.
My goodness.
How have you been educating that kid?
I'm so ashamed to face Jong Gwon.
You reap what you sow.
Who do you think he takes after?
You did a bad job of bringing him up,
but you're blaming it on me?
Gosh. Kids never turn out the way you want.
What should we do?
He's the only descendant of this family.
What do you feel about adopting a son?
Adopting a son?
Jun Young doesn't seem to care about the restaurant or family matters.
He was too spoiled growing up.
After Jong Woo, Min Gyung, as well as you and I are gone,
someone should take over this family.
But why would you think of adopting a son?
If we manage our business carelessly in times like this,
a small business like ours can go bankrupt before we know it.
Your late parents worked hard to build up this fortune.
You're right about that.
She had an idea.
What is it?
Jun Young doesn't seem to care about the work or the family.
The four of us should be ready...
for what will happen after we are gone.
What are you saying?
Before it's too late,
I'm thinking about adopting a son.
A son?
- That can't happen. - Why did you get up?
I can't let that happen. That's nonsense.
No one adopts a son these days.
People are adopting more these days.
Those people bring little kids,
but that's not what you have in mind.
I'm not asking you...
to adopt a son, so don't be agitated.
I am only contemplating.
It hasn't been decided, so don't get too worked up.
I can't believe what I'm hearing. It's ridiculous!
Why would you think to adopt a son when we have Jun Young?
Jun Young is not my child.
Sook Jung.
How can you say that?
Let's get things straight.
Jun Young is not our child.
Why would you adopt a son when we have someone in the family?
Many people think of their nephews as their children.
But not every nephew will be fit to be your son.
Are you not ashamed of what you made out of him?
Sook Jung.
Is that what you really think?
Yes. That's what I think.
What are you going to do?
How dare you dig up my back with an employee?
Sook Jung.
Ms. Kim Young Shin. The general manager wants you.
Please tell her I'll be there in five minutes.
Okay.
Did you want to see me, General Manager?
Do you think standing behind the CEO will guarantee your success?
Pardon?
Is that why you told on me?
I don't understand.
I told you not to tell Mrs. Choi the talk we had...
about where you saw her.
I didn't tell her anything.
Who else is there?
There was no one.
Do you think I'm a joke?
Am I a joke to someone like you?
No, it wasn't me.
I didn't tell her, General Manager.
You feisty little thing.
(A Good Supper)
Working a job isn't easy.
If I take both sides, they will both hate me.
What did you say?
They will hassle me, and I'll leave before I get fired.
Do kids take their food for festivals?
I'm not in college. I'm just here to hang out.
I was trying to make you feel better.
Don't.
Don't try to comfort me. Please.
What do you think you're doing?
I can't believe what I'm seeing.
Get out of my house right now!
