Something will go horribly wrong if you stay as the owner!
It will be less embarrassing to your juniors...
for you to resign by yourself.
I can't do that.
You can't?
Then would you feel better if I remove you with my own hands?
I'm disappointed in you.
How could you disappoint me so much?
Honey.
Honey!
What are you doing?
Nothing's stopping me now.
Jong Gwon even said to take Jun Young with us and move out.
How could I just watch?
You're so third class.
Did you just call me third class?
You threw me under the bus during a crisis.
Unbelievable. Third class?
If you're not third-class trash, then what are you?
Who's calling who third-class trash?
You're an educated person. Even if you were in trouble,
how could you stab your co-conspirator in the back?
You were the one to bring it up first.
Right, I'm third-class trash.
Then what class are you?
- What? - You don't even have a class,
and you're trying to say I'm third or fourth class.
I'm so disgusted and mad that my hands are shaking.
You shouldn't get worked up right now.
You need to get past this crisis however possible.
I realized how scary your uncle is.
Gyung Chul.
I'm very sick.
Mr. Park?
Mr. Park, why did you turn off your phone and ignore my call?
You have a guest from Seoul.
It's quite nice here.
I'm sorry,
but I don't have anything else to say to you.
That means I have nothing else to hear from you either.
Gyung Chul.
What do you mean, you're very sick?
If I go to the hospital, I might not come back out.
I want to tie up all my loose ends first,
and I thought of you.
Did you tell Jung Hoon?
I don't want you to tell him.
My family will continue to pay for his tuition.
Just, if he asks later,
tell him then.
What do you mean, later?
Later.
When I'm not here anymore.
Until I die,
I'll keep praying for forgiveness from you and Jung Hoon.
Is that Jung Hoon's mother?
She looks a lot like Jung Hoon.
If Jung Hoon comes home, don't tell him that she came.
I'll think about it and tell him.
Okay.
Why are you sitting in the kitchen?
Go do your own work.
You're impeding on the employees' work.
Whether it impedes them or not, I have to get this done today.
Are you going to eat dinner with me on your day off or what?
What's this about, Ms. Kim?
I'm not sure. I don't know anything about this.
Ms. Lee, bring over the sliced green onion.
Yes, I'm on my way.
If you don't want to just sit here, should I get you some coffee?
Whatever.
How would you like your coffee?
I think you need to come to the kitchen.
Why the kitchen?
Come here.
- What? - Come with me!
What's wrong with you?
- Come on. - Fine, I'll go!
What do you think you're doing?
- You drive me crazy! - Jeez!
Do you want to see me lose my mind?
Why are you humiliating me in front of our employees?
You said I'm the heir.
Why do I need to care what they think?
If I told you to stay out of the kitchen, stay out!
So what? Are you going to fire me?
What?
Fine, that's good.
I should go out drinking and clubbing.
I can't believe him!
Seriously!
I think you should move Jun Young to the head office.
He said he was going to work from the bottom up. What's wrong?
If your heir is yelled at by customers while waiting tables,
it won't look good for our family.
I suppose he's done something to get himself in trouble.
No, that's not it,
but everyone has an image.
Image.
If he gives the employees a bad first impression, later on...
The world has changed so much. Why does that matter?
In dramas, the heir is usually a manager at the head office.
Head office manager?
Do you think such a young kid could be a head office manager?
Please just transfer him to the head office.
Min Gyung is going to kick me out.
I'll kick you out before that happens.
Jong Gwon!
I trusted you as you are my brother,
but you were only thinking of money...
and almost put the restaurant out of business!
Head office manager? Heir?
Just tell him to wait tables at the restaurant!
I should've just kept quiet.
He was already mad at us, and I just had to bring that up.
There was no way he'd agree.
He said Jun Young should be a server?
This is all Kim Young Shin's fault!
Please just get her out of my face!
How would I do that?
This is why people in dramas send people away with cash.
She didn't even blink at 100 thousand dollars and left the money.
Do you have any more money?
You're right.
Why don't I even have money in times like this?
He has so many issues.
Why would he bring a chair and sit in here?
- Let's wash the sink now. - Okay.
Ms. Kim.
Come see me.
If you go to the Diner one more time because of your son,
- it will end badly for both of us. - Hey.
- This is my very polite warning. - Warning?
If you go to the Diner again and say something weird to Mr. Jung,
I might just date your son.
That's why it's a warning.
What kind of girl acts like this?
What do you want to say to me?
I'll be frank.
Get out of this restaurant.
I don't want to. Bye.
Sook Jung, please save me.
Why? Is your blood pressure high?
I'm going crazy because I hate Young Shin!
You startled me!
I'll do anything for you if you just fire Young Shin.
Why would a noble person like you ask a lower-class person like me?
Sook Jung! If you take care of her, I'll do anything!
You'll do anything?
I think I will do anything.
I think I can do it all!
Don't you know how well the beef hot pot is selling?
What excuse can I make to fire her?
So, please think of some kind of trick!
I'm sorry, but I don't believe in you anymore.
How can I believe you when I don't know when I'll suffer damage...
being on the same side?
Sook Jung!
Try this.
My mother-in-law puts more tofu than this.
- Tofu? - Yes.
It tastes good,
but my mother-in-law seems to put something more in.
What could that be?
I put kimchi, meat, and glass noodles in.
It was like some kind of bean sprout.
Who puts bean sprouts in the dumplings?
Oh, mung bean sprouts?
It's mung bean sprouts!
Gosh.
Yes. All right!
Even if I search the whole market, I'll buy it and send it to you.
Mung bean sprouts!
Mung bean sprouts.
Mung bean sprouts!
This is it!
It tastes similar!
That's great!
But we have a problem.
We have to make it quickly, but when do we make it all?
I'll help.
It's pretty.
If you make pretty dumplings,
you give birth to a pretty daughter.
That's songpyeon.
If you make pretty songpyeons,
you give birth to a pretty daughter.
If you make dumplings well,
you give birth to a handsome son.
Who said that?
Me.
That's right, Yong Goo. Get married quickly...
and have a pretty daughter and a handsome son.
It's okay.
I have Young Shin, Da Jung, Oh Bok, and Jung Hoon.
They say if you're busy, you can even borrow a cat's hand.
You guys are quite helpful.
Mang Soon, the one that Oh Bok made...
looks like a steamed bun, not a dumpling!
What if it looks like a steamed bun? We even eat sujebi.
We'll just have to cook it well.
Just stick them together. I'll cook it well!
Yong Goo is making it pretty.
You're making art with a dumpling!
If you keep kneading like that, when on earth can you cook dumpling soup?
Mang Soon, please finish off the old story you told us last time.
Which old story did I tell you?
The story of the woodcutter getting divorced.
So he got divorced!
So the fairy took her children and ran away to the sky.
What happened after she ran away?
I don't know! Anyway, she ran away.
- Is that it? - Yes.
The deer told him...
that there would be a bucket if he goes to the pond.
So the woodcutter rode the bucket...
and chased after her to the sky.
Really? What happened next?
He must have met the fairy and had a big fight.
I hope he could...
meet the fairy and his children...
and live happily.
They didn't just live happily.
That's it! I remembered!
But the woodcutter was worried...
about his mother, who he left on the land.
The mother-in-law is always the problem.
So did the woodcutter come down to the land alone?
That's all for today.
I have to eat dumplings quickly and wash the comforters.
Anyway, in the end,
the woodcutter came down to the land again,
but he couldn't go back to the sky.
No way!
He has to go back and live well!
Okay! I'll make him go back next time!
Gosh, that's ridiculous!
Why not? It's different in each town.
The woodcutter went back in my town.
My grandma's old story is different every time.
She makes it up.
But the stories she makes up are more fun!
I look forward to the next story!
Me too!
You worked hard as always.
It isn't much, but please enjoy.
You made this for me?
Try it.
I tried to make it similar to your mother's.
It tastes like the dumplings that my mom made.
My mom made it with just this much meat,
just this much kimchi,
with tofu and mung bean sprouts.
How did you make this?
Mr. Lee coached me one by one.
Now do you see how much I care for you?
Could it be that you cared for me?
You would have done it...
because you'll be worn out if I gave you a hard time.
He really can't stand being worn out.
All right. Hurry up and eat.
Anyway, I'm honored to receive...
all of this attention, Mr. Lee.
You think it's just attention? You're all I have.
Menopause sure is scary.
He's talking nonsense in front of everybody.
I'm saying anything as I feel urgent.
What's that?
I won't eat.
No, eat! We made it with great effort, but you won't eat?
Are you really afraid I won't eat it?
What do I eat if I don't eat this delicious dish?
Is it good?
Eat up!
You had a hard time living with a guy like me.
I'll look forward to loach noodles too!
What? That's kind of...
I look forward to it. I can't wait!
Seeing you take care of Se Jin,
I should throw a tantrum to get treated.
Is it late menopause for me?
You're too late, Grandma!
Yong Goo is about to have menopause.
I look forward to getting menopause.
I can't wait!
Good grief.
I'm sorry. I was talking nonsense to try to please her.
No, it's not like that.
Why aren't you saying anything?
Did we make the dumpling soup to fit only Se Jin's taste?
No, I'm enjoying it.
Mr. Park.
Please enjoy.
You too.
In fact,
I divorced Jung Hoon's mom because she had an affair.
She remarried the man she had an affair with.
But...
it seems she's sick.
She's sick?
I don't think she has much time left.
Does Jung Hoon know?
I was worried whether I should tell him or not.
I'm here to discuss it with you.
Shouldn't you tell him?
She doesn't want to make it harder...
for him as he's studying.
Still, that's...
No matter how sick she is,
she's ashamed to see him after all this time.
You'll have to think about it more.
He's still too young to lose his mom.
He has lived without her.
Not being able to see her...
and not having her at all...
would feel different.
She should've lived well after leaving me that way.
How could she...
have a terrible disease now?
Dad.
You look so deep in thought.
Did you get off work?
You must be tired.
Is Mom already asleep?
Yes.
She has insomnia because of menopause. How come?
She went to bed early after having a hearty meal.
I'll have some noodles as I'm hungry. Do you want some?
I just had dinner.
You like spicy noodles.
I'll pass.
I'm going in.
It's Mom who has menopause.
Is this contagious?
Still, I think you should tell Jung Hoon about it.
That's what I think as well.
He's going to school after finally getting over it.
Everyone should stick up for him and be of help.
Mr. Lee.
It's been a while.
It's been three years.
I couldn't even come to see you. I'm sorry.
It's okay. Have a seat.
Let's have something to drink.
I'll have coffee.
I'll have the same.
It must be hard to study as you're in the third year.
Why did you want to see me?
Jung Hoon.
Your mom is not well.
She seems to be very ill.
She didn't want you to know.
But we can't do that.
You can't send your mom away without knowing.
Why are you sitting here? You should've come inside.
What should I do about my mom?
What is it? Did something happen to her?
The girl I'm seeing doesn't know why my parents got divorced.
I didn't want to talk about it,
so I just told her it's because they were not for each other.
I see.
Young Shin.
My mom is ill.
What?
If my mom dies like this,
what should I do?
Should I hate her...
or miss her?
What are you going to do about stepping down?
I should look for someone to take over.
For now, I'll have someone from the headquarters come,
so that shouldn't be a problem.
I'm sorry.
Everyone is trying to look out for themselves.
We're a family.
I said I did wrong.
So, you don't want to step down?
How could I resign like this?
Even when they chase a mouse, they leave out an escape.
Give me a chance. It can be my last one.
A chance?
I'll do my best, and if I think I'm not competent enough,
I'll step down of my own accord.
So you want a chance.
All right then.
Make the beef hot pot that Young Shin made...
but just as tasty.
Why are you obsessed with the beef hot pot?
Did you not hear what I've been talking about?
We're preparing to release meal replacements.
Starting as a Korean restaurant,
we made a good profit by making it into a franchise.
The next step is the market for meal replacements.
Soon the competition for meal replacements will become fierce.
We don't have an item that is as good as that...
to release as a meal replacement.
Are you telling me to learn...
how to make a hot pot from Young Shin?
If you don't want to, don't.
Why would you feel ashamed when you'll be learning?
Did you call for me, Mrs. Choi?
Submit a five-page document...
on how to make a beef hot pot.
In return, what will you do for me?
You work here.
The company is asking you to submit a document,
but you're refusing?
That's why you should fire me.
All right.
I'll go see Jung Gyung Soo and apologize.
You need to make a heartfelt apology.
A heartfelt apology?
If you don't give up what you've been keeping,
your sincerity will not get across.
What do you want me to give up?
If you confess about the past to your husband,
I believe Mr. Jung will feel your sincerity.
Does it not matter to you if Lee Da Jung gets fired?
You've been acting impudently because you're a good cook.
But Lee Da Jung is not like you.
You were reinstated by good fortune,
but if Lee Da Jung...
gets kicked out after being harassed like you,
who would bring her back in?
Shall I kick her out now...
or fire her ruthlessly after her internship?
If she's going to be kicked out anyway,
won't it be better to be let go now, so she could find someplace else?
Why are you trying to hurt an innocent girl?
This is what I hired her for.
You are impossible.
I've had enough of you. Now you should bend to me.
(A Good Supper)
I don't know when I should start talking to her.
It seems Jung Hoon can treat you the way he used to now.
That's the difference.
I can laugh and chat like we used to.
But that part about me stopped at that point.
I'll be direct with you. Can you help me?
Now that I've felt it myself,
I can see it goes beyond reasoning.
I've been waiting for you.
And now you do this.
Aren't you ashamed of yourself?
