Good work today.
The last intern to leave the kitchen...
must go over the checklist before leaving. That's all.
- Thank you. - Thank you.
- Store them well. - Yes.
If you're hungry, make some ramyeon for yourself.
- Good night, Mr. Jung. - Okay.
Sit down!
Your brain will work less if you're full.
It works even less when I'm hungry!
Just finish this problem before eating!
I'm going to ask Young Shin when she comes. You teach too hard!
In what century are you going to pass the qualification exam?
You've been stuck for three years!
Do you think I've been just studying for three years?
I was a public service worker!
You wouldn't have passed even if you hadn't served.
I want to live in a world where math doesn't exist!
Hey, why do I need to know trigonometry in my life?
You like playing pool, don't you?
Do you think I use trigonometry to play pool?
Do you think the village pool club owner uses math to get 400 points?
Come on in, Young Shin! You're tired, aren't you?
How's the studying going?
Sundae!
You should've asked for extra liver!
They said there wasn't much left, so they only gave me two pieces,
but they'll give us more next time!
- I'm going to get changed. - Okay.
- Oh Bok! - Geez.
What is it?
- Spit it out! - Hey.
Are you going to eat it if I spit it out?
If I can't eat it, you shouldn't either!
Rip it out of my stomach.
You!
Da Jung, have you finished preparing for the final interview?
I'm actually more nervous than I thought I'd be.
What do you have to be nervous about?
Didn't you get nervous back then?
You're just saying that because you're a permanent employee!
Well, you have a cooking certificate,
and graduating with a degree in nutrition. Why are you nervous?
Can you give me some practice questions?
You don't need them. Just answer honestly.
You're just like my classmates who came...
to school to brag about getting hired.
I know they must've trembled like a leaf too.
What do I say?
Should I say that I'll take on the legacy of Korean food?
They won't ask things like that, and there isn't time to say that.
Then I'll say I'll help permanent employee Kim Young Shin...
and assist in the kitchen. How's that?
That might be better, actually.
You're so mean, Young Shin!
Oh Bok, is there anything you couldn't solve?
Yes.
Here we go.
Now that I smell it, I want to have some.
I hate when you say you won't eat it but run over when it's ready.
No!
You two really haven't grown up!
No!
Mrs. Choi will be sitting,
as well as a shrewd lady called manager Seo Min Gyung.
Who should I impress more?
Do you want me to tell you a way to get hired for sure?
What is it?
Just impress Mrs. Seo Min Gyung.
Really? How can I impress her?
Act like you listen well and will be stupid and easy to use.
Are you kidding?
You just don't know because you're a newbie.
Rather than blabbing on about Korean food culture,
what I told you is the real way to impress them.
Why won't you listen when I'm telling you the secret?
Are you for real?
I'm kidding.
But it is true that manager is stronger than the owner.
Really?
That lady really does look like a shrewd.
Graduating soon from the nutrition program of a four-year college.
Has a Korean cooking certification.
Three awards from cooking competitions.
Your practical exam score is fine too.
You're quite safe with these specifications,
but competition is stiff, so the interview will be decisive.
What kind of cook do you want to be if we hire you?
Really? The interview will be decisive?
Do you have an idea about what kind of cook you want to be?
Oh, yes.
I will listen to my seniors and work hard.
If you just want to listen to your seniors,
get married and make good food for the in-laws so they'll like you.
Why go through the trouble of becoming a cook?
Pardon?
Oh, yes.
I'll listen carefully to my seniors' advice,
create my own world of food with my refined skills,
and help the development of Korean food...
as a cornerstone...
Why is everyone so interested in Korean food culture?
Worry about Korea's food culture later.
Working in the kitchen is harder than you'd think. Are you confident?
We've hired many people eager to get a job and work hard...
but then left us before they are let go.
They take away a spot for someone else to be hired.
Don't worry!
A friend who's like a sister to me works here,
so if you hire me, I'll stay for good.
Who is it?
Kim Young Shin.
You're like sisters with Kim Young Shin?
Yes.
Got it. You can leave.
She'll fail.
She's refined her resume with academies and competitions.
She was raised so daintily and probably never touched a rag.
We can't use her for anything.
I was so anxious I don't even know what I said.
What did they ask?
What was it?
Well, I said if they hire me, I'll work hard.
What else did I say?
I said we're like sisters.
Why did you say that?
You told me to answer honestly.
So what did they say?
Your boss told me to leave.
She told you to leave right after you said that?
Yes.
Why?
You have to hire Lee Da Jung.
The girl who's friends with Young Shin?
Give her 100 points on her interview if you have to.
How will you put her to use?
We could use her as leverage against Young Shin.
How can you hire an employee like that?
The food service industry is so competitive,
and our restaurant is suffering.
If you're worried about that, then you can step down as a chef.
I haven't been able to say anything to Min Gyung...
for three years since we switched the tasting results.
Do you want to pretend you're so great on your own?
Mrs. Choi, manager Seo would like to see you.
Since when does a manager tell the owner to come to them?
Are you looking for me?
Can you check the reservations?
What?
I'm getting tired of dealing with people the older I get.
I have to kowtow to them about if they're coming or not.
You're telling me to do that?
They'll be upset if an employee makes the call...
that I usually would make,
but if you call, they'll think the customer service is great.
Here we go.
Da Jung, happy birthday!
Thank you!
Who would pay to eat food made by Da Jung?
You'd have to pay me to eat it.
Lately, people at the market are complaining...
that kids can't earn their way despite all the studying.
How amazing is it that you got hired on the first try?
It's all thanks to Young Shin's guidance.
Young Shin, thank you for being there for Da Jung.
Se Jin, what's wrong?
Da Jung, congratulations.
Thank you, Yong Goo.
Jung Hoon is doing well at school too, right?
Yes, it'll be his third year of regular courses.
Does he ever visit home?
He does call.
Even though he's my son, it's been three years since I saw him.
I haven't seen him for three years either.
All right, let's toast to Da Jung's new job!
- Cheers! - Cheers!
- Congratulations! - Thank you!
I saw him a few times at school.
Of course, we run into each other, being at the same school.
He pretended not to see me.
So you did see him.
It's been exactly three years since you saw him.
I guess so.
Young Shin, thank you.
I know you've spent the past three years...
trying to soothe me.
I'll never forget it.
I'll see you tomorrow.
Ever since I was a kid, I felt upset whenever Da Jung cried,
and whenever you cried, my heart broke.
Why did you leave without finishing your food?
I don't have an appetite.
Why?
I saw my mom today.
Where?
In front of the bakery in town.
So your mom came!
I didn't meet with her.
I just saw her.
Why? She came all this way.
My mom hasn't changed a bit.
Young Shin, what are you doing here?
I was wondering where you went.
Come in and eat.
Oh Bok, can you go in with Da Jung first?
What are you going to say to her?
Please.
Okay.
Da Jung, let's go inside.
I guess they have something to talk about.
I don't want to. I want to hear too.
Let's go in!
Oh Bok, what are you doing?
Let me go!
You don't want to mention your mom to Da Jung?
I don't want Da Jung to pity me.
But you're okay with me pitying you?
You're a friend for my heart.
A friend for your heart?
Even if I don't want to tell my dad or Mr. Lee...
or anyone else in the world,
for some reason, I'm okay telling you.
Why?
I think you really care about me.
I don't think I can finish my food today,
so can you tell them I left because I have a stomachache?
Da Jung, congratulations on graduating.
The bouquet looks so cheap.
Just take it!
Thanks!
Da Jung, congratulations on graduating!
Thanks!
Da Jung, congratulations on graduating!
Thank you, Yong Goo!
Mang Soon, you made it too?
You're like a granddaughter to me, and you're graduating!
Of course, I made it!
- Hello! - Mr. Park, you came too?
Yes, I came to buy you lunch. It's my treat.
I came too. I'd be sad if I'm the only one not in the pictures.
Gyung Soo, your personality has changed so much.
I'm glad you came. Thank you.
Then, let's take some photos!
Okay!
- Who first? - Me first?
Take her photo alone first.
So pretty!
It came out great.
- You can give that to me. - I never got to wear that.
- I wanted to try it on. - Here you go.
- You did a great job, Mom. - Goodness.
I'm so moved.
- There. - Come on.
I'll take a picture.
Smile. In 1, 2, 3.
Smile, Mr. Lee.
- Smile, Dad. - In 1, 2, 3.
Good.
Let's take a group photo.
- Come closer, everyone. - Come and join us, Oh Bok.
I'm sorry, but can you take a picture?
Thank you.
I'll take the picture.
In 1, 2, 3.
- Congratulations, Da Jung. - Thank you.
- No problem.
- Congratulations, Da Jung. - You look wonderful.
It's your first day to work.
It even makes me nervous.
Greeting your co-workers well will help make a good impression.
Don't give anyone trouble...
and always do your share.
I can do it.
If you're not sure about anything, ask Young Shin.
Okay. You should get ready for work too, Mom.
I'm happy to go to work with my daughter.
Let's go.
We'll go. See you later.
I'm going to work, Mom.
It reminds me of my first day as an intern.
Hey,
am I shaking?
You don't have to. I'll help you out.
Let's go.
Today is the first day for our new interns.
Help each other out and do your best.
To your places.
- Yes. - Yes, chef.
You can peel the onions and wash them there.
Okay. I mean, yes, I will.
I'll do it. Go to the locker room and take a break.
Stop it. What will you do if someone sees us?
If you work standing up all day,
your legs will get swollen at first.
I can't feel my legs already.
Hey.
- Hold on. - Stop it.
Ms. Lee.
I need to talk to you.
Good morning, Mrs. Choi.
Why does that lady want to see me?
I'm sure it's nothing. Go ahead.
I hear you are like sisters with Young Shin.
Yes, I am.
I heard Young Shin grew up in the Diner.
Were you two friends ever since she first came to the Diner?
Yes.
You don't have to feel uncomfortable.
Am I scaring you?
A little bit.
You know how to respect the elders.
You're nice and gentle.
If you have any trouble, you can tell me.
You should do your best, so you can work full-time.
I wish I had a daughter like you.
What did she say?
She said she wants to have a daughter like me.
Isn't that funny?
Really?
I was worried that she might grill you...
since you told her we're close.
She's quite the chatterbox.
Once she decides to nag someone, you can't stand her.
Her eyes are droopy, and she looks very strict.
- Is she really like that? - Yes.
You should be working.
Sook Jung, since the mayor will be coming today,
check the rooms, so we make no mistakes.
Are you telling me to change the cushion covers?
You should if you have to.
Get the interns to do it.
They're all busy now.
I should turn the table whatever I do.
My goodness.
What are you doing here?
I was tired as I had too much to drink yesterday.
You should do that in the locker room.
Are you nagging at me?
Go over to the VIP room.
The mayor would've been frightened if I didn't check.
Why would you lay on the dirty cushion that people sit on?
- What's wrong with that? - Get up right now!
What will the others think?
You should try serving. It aches everywhere.
Your uncle suggested giving you an office job in the company,
so why did you insist on serving?
You fool. I'm not happy with you.
Wipe your drool off.
My goodness.
I need to have a hangover. Isn't there anything?
Hey, I started working here before you.
Talk to me with respect.
Spicy jjamppong is best for a hangover.
Can you order a jjamppong to the kitchen?
You want to order Chinese food to a Korean restaurant?
Or you can make one for me with what we have.
Get out. I'm busy.
I joined this year as I had to do my military service,
but I'm older than you.
Quit the talk and leave. I'm busy.
Do you know why girls go crazy about me?
What's this?
Did you pick this from a claw machine?
What? A claw machine?
There won't be any claw machines left, then.
Then did you pick it up on your way?
I bought this for 10,000 dollars at a jeweler's.
What? Ten thousand dollars? You're out of your mind.
What's going on there?
What just happened?
He said he picked this up on his way.
I'm proud of him for starting with serving instead of an office job.
He has a good mindset.
Thank you for your compliment.
The party for the foundation day of Yeongwan Industry is next week.
It'll be a chance for him to see the people in this industry.
He should start showing himself to the restaurant industry.
Really?
I'll make sure he's well prepared, so he doesn't harm your reputation.
I'm tired, so I'll go in now.
Who's going to clean this up if you just leave?
I'll clean it up later.
Please just keep it there.
How could you tell Sook Jung to clean up the fruit?
There needs to be training to make the pecking order clear.
Pecking order?
Didn't you hear Jong Gwon?
He wants to introduce Jun Young as his successor.
My son will officially be known as the heir of this family.
I'm overjoyed that my heart is racing.
- Cheongsimhwan. - Cheongsimhwan?
Cheongsimhwan?
Min Gyung, can I come inside?
It's Sook Jung. What would she come here?
Yes, do you have something to say?
I'll be outside.
What brings you all the way here?
I cleaned up the fruit dish.
Did you come to say that?
Yes.
Oh, right.
Here you go.
What is this?
Are you bribing me, so I'll go easy on you?
I have more things to do than bribe you.
Then what is this for? It's a diamond.
This would cost at least 10,000 dollars.
Young Shin gave it to me.
Young Shin?
Jun Young gave it to her, saying he picked it up on the way.
He gave this to Young Shin?
I guess Young Shin might become the future wife of this family.
What?
It seems you'll benefit her with all the work you're doing.
My goodness.
This idiot.
The graduation photos came out.
I see.
Everyone is here...
but Jung Hoon.
- I'll go turn off the signboard. - Okay.
Young Shin.
Jung Hoon.
It's been so long.
It has.
You haven't changed one bit.
Am I still the same too?
Well, I'm not sure since it's dark.
(A Good Supper)
I guess you'll be busy now.
Why would you say that?
He has an eye for women as he takes after me.
Do you want to get kicked out of this restaurant?
Yes.
What do I do?
I'm laughing thanks to Young Shin.
Do you know that Young Shin has been hitting on men?
- Can I wait for you? - Who'd stop you?
Oh Bok, you made it so obvious.
Don't mind him. He's not worth it.
