(Episode 27)
You live here?
Put your things inside and unpack.
Who's going to cook?
I will.
I'm not eating.
Why not? Aren't you hungry?
If you're not hungry, then eat later.
I've hardly eaten for three days now,
and you're telling me to eat later if I'm not hungry?
Do you want some ramyeon? I know you like ramyeon.
Send me back to Mom.
I want to go to Mom!
I told you you can't.
I don't even want to smell ramyeon now!
Don't yell at your father!
If you don't want to starve me to death,
then please send me back!
Let's go to the market tomorrow and cook something.
Dad, can you make side dishes?
Let's try it.
Can we just order takeout from this restaurant?
It smells like Mom's kitchen.
I received some ham as a gift.
Are the side dishes the same every day?
Some customers buy meal tickets and come by daily,
so I prepare a different meal each day.
Good timing!
Let's have some boiled pork and a drink.
That sounds good.
I'm so bad with words.
I'm bad at delivering my feelings.
Feelings don't have to be spoken.
If it weren't for the Diner,
I wonder what Jung Hoon and I would've eaten all this time.
I think he was able to grow to be who he is now...
thanks to the family we have here.
I'm so grateful for the Diner family when I think about Young Shin.
I think...
I need to stop coming here.
Why?
I'll pay forward my gratitude...
for the rest of my life.
Is it because...
Mr. Lee's family stopped coming?
Well, I think it's right that we avoid them.
They didn't do anything wrong.
I'm not sure they'd come...
even if you stop coming.
The girl Jung Hoon likes...
is Young Shin.
What?
Who told you?
I'm already so sorry...
to Mr. Lee's family that you left Da Jung for another girl...
but why did you have to like Young Shin of all girls?
Don't you know how much pain that'll cause Da Jung?
If she'd lost you to a girl she doesn't know,
she'd just have to forget about you,
but losing you to her best friend...
might haunt her for the rest of her life!
What did Da Jung ever do to you...
for you to hurt her so much?
She's such a nice girl.
I can't help...
who I love.
That's how your mother divorced me,
and she's lived with that man ever since.
Don't you think they loved each other, too?
How could you compare...
Young Shin and me to Mom and that man?
You've known Da Jung for 12 years.
Twelve years to a 20-year-old...
is basically her whole life.
If you count from when she grew up,
isn't it her whole life?
As if it's not enough to abandon her like that,
you have to like Young Shin, who's practically her sister?
How will Da Jung move on in life, you heartless boy?
I've put a lot of thought into it!
You absolutely cannot do that!
I came to ask you about something I couldn't figure out.
I'm sorry.
Well, you already heard why my parents got divorced.
Can I sit with you for a minute?
I knew he grew up with thick skin from all his pain,
but how could he be so heartless?
When Jung Hoon was a kid,
he said he was so scared of you...
that his heart would race when you'd come into his room.
He thought you hated him because of his mother,
so he was even more scared of you.
I think it was really hard for him to live with you...
away from his mom at such a young age.
Did he tell you that before?
I heard it when he and Young Shin were comforting each other once.
How do you think Young Shin feels about this?
She hasn't said anything,
but thinking about it now,
I think Young Shin liked him too.
Who says I can't?
Am I your property?
On the day Mom said she'd take me, you wanted to spite her...
by dragging me to this town in the middle of nowhere.
How could you ruin my life by taking me here without asking me?
- Come eat some potatoes. - Okay.
Why are you home at this hour?
I feel a bit under the weather, so I closed up early and came home.
Actually, I think I need to pack my things...
and leave town.
What?
Why?
Thanks to your care, I was able to live well with low costs.
Why are you moving out all of a sudden?
You've been like an older brother for Yong Goo,
like a father for Oh Bok,
and even like a son to me.
I wouldn't have been able to settle here...
if it weren't for you treating me like your own son.
Did you find a job in another area?
That's not it exactly.
Then why are you moving so suddenly?
I have to leave the village because of something that happened.
I'll come visit often. Why are you crying?
No. No way.
Don't leave.
Where are you?
Let's meet.
Mr. Park says he's leaving this town.
- Did you hear about it? - What?
As you're his son, you'd know his personality better.
But he takes forever to get attached to people.
Where on earth will he settle down when he's old?
I don't know if you have a deep grudge against him,
but from what I see, you would've been hurt a lot more than now...
if you lived with your mother...
and your stepfather in the same house.
Moreover, you'll live in the same house...
when you know your parents got divorced because of your stepfather?
That's something you can never do.
You may have hated your father and found him scary,
but he dedicated his youth to you.
He didn't even remarry and took care of you to this day.
Why don't you appreciate that?
You remember...
when I asked if you were going to change the world...
with Young Shin, right?
What do you mean you're leaving this town?
Where will you go and settle down?
If you are to date Young Shin,
how can I live in this town and see Mr. Lee's family?
But that doesn't mean you should leave.
By doing that,
wouldn't that convey how sorry I am?
Mr. Park is moving?
Where to?
I don't think he's decided.
But why is he moving?
He hasn't even got a job elsewhere,
but he's leaving this town.
I'm so upset.
I hate it so much.
I think it's because he feels sorry for Mr. Lee and Se Jin.
Why would he feel sorry for Mr. Lee's family?
There's something going on that I don't know, isn't there?
You don't need to know. Just eat.
How can I eat at a time like this...
when the person I depended on like a son says he's leaving suddenly?
You've become a grown-up man now,
but when I lived with you as a little kid and your stupid uncle,
I relied on Mr. Park so much.
We'll even be upset...
if he got married and left for a good reason.
From tomorrow, let's set a time to gather.
Whether it's buying pork belly or spicy fish stew,
let's spend half of our salary on food.
I'll try making dinner.
Are you rubbing it in?
Can anyone cook all of a sudden?
Then what can we do? We can't go to the Diner.
If you can't face Mr. Park,
we can go eat at a different time.
If it was okay to go at a different time,
would dad have made this decision?
Do whatever you two want, whether you buy food or starve.
I'm going to the Diner from tomorrow.
Young Shin is the one...
Jung Hoon likes.
What?
Will you be able to go there and eat with a smile on your face?
What did you just say?
Offer a la carte dish for lunchtime only?
There are many empty tables during lunchtime.
As it's a Korean-style course meal,
people usually make dinner plans.
But who will make a new a la carte dish?
Well, you will have to do it.
If you're successful and it helps with management,
Jong Gwon will be pleased too.
That's true.
I gave it a lot of thought while seeing you using separate rooms...
with Jong Gwon.
We're the ones embarrassed when we live in the same house.
Did you?
I worry a lot about you, more than you think.
What are you up to now?
It's a shame to put an end to this fun act after one time.
For some reason, she said something that will help me.
Wouldn't making good food and benefiting the restaurant...
be a way to regain the trust I lost from Jong Gwon?
I will also work hard to help.
It's not bad to try changes.
But is it easy to prepare a dish all of a sudden?
Sook Jung will have to make an effort.
It's not a problem as it'll be helpful for the restaurant.
How about giving Young Shin a chance too?
After changing it back to her doenjang stew,
people's reactions were very good and sales increased a lot.
Really?
Out of the dish developed by Sook Jung and Young Shin,
why don't we decide on better results through food tasting?
Let's do that.
Competition in good faith can...
bring progress for both.
Competition?
Do you think I'm at a level to compete with an intern?
I look forward to you beating her hollow, Sook Jung.
I was wondering why.
That ridiculous brat.
What does she think of me as?
Prepare well and regain your honor this time.
You're not trembling about losing to Young Shin again, are you?
- Again? - You lost...
to her doenjang stew last time.
Do you think she'll be able to develop an a la carte dish...
just because she's good at making doenjang stew?
Young Shin isn't that easy, is she?
The a la carte dish must be tasty...
and show the characteristics of the restaurant in one dish.
Do you think it's easy to secure marketability with just one menu?
We're not a local snack stand.
It'll be a relief if she makes a Korean meal with doenjang stew.
I doubt it.
Your doenjang stew helped with the sales.
This time, develop an a la carte dish for lunchtime only.
Is this Mrs. Choi's order?
No matter whose order, you just have...
to do your best to exert influence.
Isn't there a trap?
You've given me such a generous opportunity.
There's no trap.
Did you hear from the chef?
He asked me to develop an a la carte dish.
That's an idea I came up with...
to give you a chance.
Is that true?
If you don't believe me, ask Chef Choi.
Why would you give me this opportunity?
I want to get along with you.
I told you to rely on me like your mom.
Try to make your greatest dish.
Then beat Chef Choi and Mrs. Choi...
and gain hegemony over this restaurant.
Why are you telling me this?
Why do you look at me like that?
I may look like a miser, but I just...
can't ignore pitiful people.
Do I look pitiful?
No. You grew up pitiful.
Do you think I grew up pitiful?
Why are you nitpicking?
It's good news in the end.
As you gave me a chance, I'll do my best.
She is so unbending...
as if she's the master.
She's the kind...
who'd give her mother-in-law a harsh married life.
Anyway, I hate that kind of person.
Well, look at that.
What are the odds?
You're always coming to work.
Hey!
Why are you in the kitchen?
What brings you to the kitchen?
I was thirsty.
He's the son...
of Managing Director Kang and General Manager Seo.
Say hello.
He said the most important thing.
A thing to note is that I am the only nephew...
of President Kang who doesn't have children.
Which means I'm the heir to this restaurant.
I'll ask you again.
What's your name?
Can't you see? My name is right there.
Can't you read Korean?
Wow. You're hot when you get angry.
How ridiculous. You keep being cocky.
Get away. Away.
Se Jin.
Hey, Young Shin.
How about Da Jung?
She didn't come home yet.
What did you want to see me about?
Young Shin.
Yes.
No, I shouldn't have called you. You must be tired.
It's okay.
Why are you walking on eggshells around me?
Se Jin.
Why did you fall for Jung Hoon?
Since you like him as well,
he wanted to have his way by dropping out of medical school.
What do I do about you and Da Jung?
I'm sorry.
You must've been so disappointed.
Why would I be disappointed in you?
But I feel sorry for Da Jung.
Thinking back, she would've been jealous when she was little.
To protect me from getting hurt,
you always looked out for me first.
I've felt it too.
I'm sorry, Se Jin.
I'm not saying this for you to feel sorry.
Why do people drink banana milk after taking a bath?
That's because it tastes the best...
when you have it after taking a bath.
You had more grime on you today...
than when I scrubbed off your back last time.
Have you been washing well when you take a shower?
Oh, my. How embarrassing.
Please don't tell this...
to other people.
Young Shin, you better be good to me.
It's up to me...
whether you'll be embarrassed or not.
Da Jung. You're making use of my weakness.
That's a bit mean of you.
Don't worry, Young Shin.
Da Jung had more grime than you.
Really?
From now on, we should call Da Jung Doctor Grime.
Mom!
Doctor Grime?
Oh Bok will burst out laughing when he hears it.
Mom, you're lying to me to take her side,
aren't you?
No, I mean it.
For a girl who takes advantage of a friend's weakness,
Doctor Grime is perfect.
Mom, people will think it's real.
Let's go eat now.
I'm all hungry after washing you kids.
If you grow more, I won't be able to give you a scrub-down.
When I grow older,
I'll scrub your back for you.
My gosh, I'd be honored. I'll be looking forward to it.
Won't you scrub my back, Da Jung?
I want to give the chance to do something so nice...
to my friend.
That's what friendship is.
Gosh. You stingy girl.
There you go.
(Daeyoung Sauna)
How refreshing.
I feel refreshed after giving you a bath.
It's because you took a bath too.
I feel all the more refreshed.
Let's go for dinner.
Let's hurry up and enjoy our dinner,
Doctor Grime.
Young Shin!
Will your dad...
really...
leave this town?
The years you've spent sure are scary.
I can't get away from it.
I can't.
I've only lived for 20 years, but it's binding me down.
I can't even budge.
You said everyone would have to go through this.
I don't know how long I could hold out.
Maybe you should leave together.
It seems you both...
will break down if you stay here.
You have the years behind you, so you couldn't help it.
Are you telling me...
to leave with Jung Hoon?
(A Good Supper)
Jun Young has been coming in regularly to work part-time.
He comes in at the right time.
What did I do so wrong?
Why would you think that?
If you don't have a good life with Young Shin, I'll kill you.
How can I go there for dinner?
It might be harder for Da Jung because of us.
This is so irritating.
Where did she learn to cook from to bring out such a taste?
Jung Hoon really loves you.
I thought that should do it,
and felt reassured.
