(Episode 55)
I'm sorry that I didn't reveal my identity.
I was just trying to be friends with Gyung Chul at the fishing dock,
so I couldn't just openly reveal who I was.
It's okay.
What do you think about telling Young Shin a bit later?
In the end, she's my employee,
so she might be uncomfortable with me if she knew I were her boss.
I'll do that.
Have you heard about the adoption from my wife?
I have.
I am not interested.
Let's take some more time to think.
I would be so thankful...
to have a son like you.
Thank you for saying that,
but there's a reason I can't go through with this.
What is it?
So that's how he tried Young Shin's cooking,
and how he met Jung Gyung Soo.
It's so hard to think that I lied so much and didn't even realize that.
Then, does he know who Uncle Jong Gwon is?
He told him not to tell Young Shin.
He pretended to be a customer who visited the Diner after fishing.
Finding out that Gyung Soo and Young Shin know Uncle Jong Gwon...
makes me feel more cautious.
I feel the same.
Are you on your break?
Yes, why? Is someone asking for me?
No,
but I made some cockle sauce. Could you come and taste it for me?
Should I?
How is it?
You need to keep the flavor and texture of the cockles.
How?
Help me, Young Shin.
Da Jung.
I'm not just your friend now.
I'm the head chef, and I have to treat all of the kitchen staff fairly.
Really?
That's a likely excuse for not wanting to help me.
You don't want me to be promoted to a permanent employee, do you?
Da Jung.
I see you don't want to make any losses.
I even allowed you and Jung Hoon to date!
Now you're feeling comfortable dating him.
Da Jung.
You broke the most important rule of friendship,
and now you're telling me you need to keep the rules of being the head chef?
How soon can you give me the recipe?
Please give me some time.
I don't have as much time as I thought.
It feels like I'm wasting my time...
trusting a girl who can't finish the job.
I'm confident that I can do it.
I don't need confidence.
I need skill.
The skill to get the job done.
Do you understand?
I'll risk my life to get the recipe.
Who would be interested if a girl like you says she's risking her life?
Does it mean anything if you risk your life?
I'll do whatever it takes to get it.
You would say that.
Leave. I need to work.
Why are you crying?
I...
Young Shin shamed me today.
Why would she do that?
I asked her about something I wasn't sure of in my training,
and she shamed me by telling me to figure it out myself.
Young Shin did?
Oh Bok.
You're really all I have now.
What?
Don't leave me alone ever, okay?
Please stay by my side forever.
Why are you holding my hand?
You'll never hurt me, will you?
- Feel free to stay and talk. - Good night.
What are you doing here so late?
Did you shame Da Jung?
What are you talking about?
Da Jung asked you something, but you told her to figure it out herself.
Oh Bok, that's not what happened.
Of course, it isn't.
I know you.
I guess Da Jung asked a bit too much from you.
Still,
can't you do her a favor?
Did Da Jung tell you about it?
Jung Hoon asked me to protect Da Jung so that she doesn't get worse.
Did he?
But I can't do it.
So, I decided to get worse with Da Jung.
What?
I won't consider your perspective as the head chef.
She held my hand and pretended to like me.
She held your hand?
How badly would she need something for her to do that?
It hurts my heart to see her like that.
Young Shin, just do her a favor.
Yong Goo!
The date went well.
Did it? I was wondering.
Did you have a good time?
Thanks to you.
Did you come to tell me because you thought I'd be curious?
Good job.
From now on, if you need advice, don't panic. Just come to me.
Thank you.
It's nothing.
Okay.
Why do you look so excited while knitting?
I'm just having fun.
You knit me a sweater, and I knit you a sweater.
People must think we're such a loving couple.
I made yours first,
and now I'm going to make a sweater for all of the Diner family.
This is a great way to show how I care.
It takes so much effort.
That's why it shows that I care.
Anyway, I'm so happy that you're not reading.
Did you hate that I read so much?
It's hard to make conversation with someone who's reading.
It's nice to chat with you while we knit.
I guess it turned out well.
Don't you want to read?
I heard that it's addictive.
It's nice to read a book.
Still, if I read a book, it doesn't tell me "I love you, honey,"
or "Thank you, Dad."
Are you going senile? I guess you've finally grown up.
They say people go senile as soon as they fully grow up.
I guess that day will come someday.
What will you do if you go senile after reading all those books?
One author said to never read a book to his beloved daughter.
Now I think I know what he meant.
You're starting to talk too abstractly again.
Please speak on my level.
People need to live in harmony with the world.
You've lived with enough harmony.
Too much, I would say.
I did it in my own way.
That's why I feel sorry to you and Da Jung.
Are you changing your tune now for fear of being mistreated when you're old?
Yes, I'm afraid you'll abandon me when I retire.
I won't send you away!
I'll lock you in at home and go have fun by myself!
I need to get my revenge.
Okay, I'll have to read books again then.
You always get the last word.
(Pil Sun)
Why are you calling at this hour?
I wanted to chat before going to bed.
With me?
What were you doing?
Did I wake you up?
No! I was just...
lying down.
I had spicy noodles for dinner.
What did you have?
I had braised cutlassfish.
And laver,
kimchi,
seasoned bean sprouts,
stir-fried potatoes,
- and... - I got it!
It looks like you'd spend all night telling me what you ate.
I was just...
lying down to sleep but called because I thought of you.
I wanted to hear your voice.
You thought of me...
after lying down to sleep?
Good night.
See you tomorrow!
You too!
What was that?
I had a call.
Are you dating someone?
Is it with Pil Sun?
All right! I'll head straight to the Diner.
It's been a long day today.
It's nothing much, but please enjoy.
It was easy to set the dinner table with Da Jung's help.
As Young Shin helps me a lot at the restaurant,
I should help her at the Diner.
I feel peaceful because Da Jung has lightened up.
No one is as good-hearted as Da Jung.
Oh Bok, it's mushroom hot pot.
Shall we play fencing like old times?
No way. You shouldn't mess around at the table. You're not kids.
Let's eat!
I'm sorry I didn't let you eat meat to feed someone before.
It's fine.
I don't crave that much meat.
Jung Hoon, eat up!
You like a mushroom hot pot.
Young Shin will take care of Jung Hoon now,
so I should take care of you, right?
Yong Goo! Please enjoy!
Okay. I will!
He's having a secret love affair!
What?
You've been caught!
What? You knew about it?
He whispers on the phone at night.
What?
So, did you go out on a date that day?
That's my personal life.
Is everything going well with that woman named Pil Sun?
I don't know!
Gosh, this calls for a celebration!
We'll see if it's something to celebrate or not.
I'm also worried if they can see each other without any trouble!
There's no end to worrying about him!
That's good news!
This is the best news I've heard this year.
Thank you, Yong Goo!
Why are you thanking him?
I don't know. I'm so happy that I'm about to cry.
You sure are a symbol of peace!
He's blushing!
That's good for him.
I've got more to worry about.
We should look out for him...
and help him when he needs it.
How hurt would he be if it didn't work out...
after being that happy?
Don't worry too much.
You betrayer.
I'm a betrayer?
Why?
How can you keep it a secret from me too?
I'm so disappointed.
That's how you date.
Oh, my. My uncle is now a dating expert.
I need to be considerate.
Showing respect is important.
How could you fool me?
Is that all we are?
Are you really going to be like this?
What's making you smile?
How happy would Mang Soon be?
When we were eating dinner earlier,
I was so thankful to see Da Jung smiling...
that it could make me tear up.
Min Gyung, sit down and eat with us...
or stay outside.
I'm okay.
If you need anything, tell me.
Where is Jun Young?
Why won't you let him eat?
Then, I'll have him come down.
Did Jong Gwon only call for Jun Young?
Didn't he say anything about me?
Stay upstairs, honey.
Why am I so hungry today?
Why does it take so long to eat breakfast?
Jong Gwon. Did you know that the sales have doubled...
at the coffee shop after Jun Young took charge?
Really?
He's totally changed...
and is working sincerely.
I was aware that he hasn't come home late...
after drinking.
I'm proud that you're not troubling me too.
They say when one door closes, another one opens. Thank you.
Uncle Jong Gwon. Can I ask you a favor?
What is it?
Please let Dad eat with us.
You now have that kind of mind?
You've never worried about your dad your whole life,
but you really are growing up.
Tell Jong Woo to come down and eat.
Thank you, Jong Gwon.
Why am I so dizzy?
Is my sugar level dropping?
What are you talking about?
Why can't you stand hunger?
Come down and eat.
Really? Did Jong Gwon tell me to come down?
Oh, I forgot. You know my friend Ji Sun, right?
She eventually got divorced.
Is she getting remarried to that man?
Her parents stopped her at first...
but said life is not that long...
and allowed her to live with someone she likes.
People's perception has changed a lot these days.
Of course!
Holding it all in for your child?
That's no longer true.
You said she doesn't have kids.
Oh, did I say that?
Yes, she doesn't even have kids.
So there's no reason to hold it back.
That name is really pretty, right? Ji Sun.
Doesn't her name sound intellectual and good?
Ji Sun?
You don't know her resident registration number.
Neither do you know the address to where she had lived.
How can you find her with just her name?
Did she graduate college?
I don't think she did.
Then ask Jong Gwon...
and find out her exact age and the high school she graduated from.
There won't be many people named Kim Ji Sun who graduated...
from that high school that year.
That's right.
That narrows it down!
Isn't the address...
also written at the back of the graduation albums?
You'll recognize her if you see her picture.
But how can we get our hands on the graduation album from that school?
Get it at all costs!
We should make her reunite with Jong Gwon no matter what.
I really hate writing homework!
You don't like any homework.
I especially hate writing homework.
I'm suffering here too.
Why do we have to write about our dads?
My dad will be reading this.
What am I going to write?
I don't have much to write about my dad either.
Do you want to hear something funny?
I had a dream about my dad last night.
How is that funny?
It's sad.
But my dad's face looked like Yong Goo.
What?
Isn't that funny? I was calling Yong Goo...
"Dad."
"Where have you been all this time?"
I cried in my dream saying that.
That's impossible, even if it's a dream.
I woke up in the morning, and it was so funny...
that I giggled about it.
I can't have a dream as I don't know how he looks.
I don't have a single picture of him.
Do you think you can meet...
your dad someday in the future?
I think I'd cry if you did.
I'd cry as well.
Then I'll cry too.
Do you think that day will come?
I knew it.
It was foolish of me to trust you. Get out. I can't stand the sight of you.
Mrs. Choi.
Give me a bit more time.
I don't have any more time for you.
If you can't coax it out of Young Shin,
you're not worth keeping in this restaurant.
I only hired you because of Young Shin.
I thought you'd be an appendix to Young Shin.
But now that even she blew you off, you're less than that.
Why did you call me up so late?
Oh Bok, I need your help.
Is this about the thing you told me?
I assured Mrs. Choi that I could come up with...
a delicious cockle bibimbap recipe, trusting Young Shin to help me out.
And Mrs. Choi told me off.
Why would you bluff about it?
If Young Shin helps me this once, that'll be the end of it.
Young Shin is heartless.
If she could, Young Shin would've helped you out...
when I even asked her.
Oh Bok.
Please help.
Help me out.
Where did Mom go?
She went to the convenience store.
Good night.
Right. Sleep tight.
Da Jung went to bed.
Honey.
Da Jung and Oh Bok...
must really be dating.
What?
Can't you help her once, for my sake?
Oh Bok, it won't end with this.
Da Jung is being used by the tricks the CEO plays.
What do you mean?
You should stay out of it.
It's not as simple as you'd think.
I'll call Da Jung for you, so you guys talk.
Okay.
Let's talk inside.
I asked you to come in, so Mr. Jung won't worry.
Young Shin, this is the last time.
That's what Mrs. Choi said as well.
I told you not to mess with Oh Bok.
Who am I messing with?
Why are you doing this?
Can't you stand to see Oh Bok like me?
Da Jung.
Do you want me to lay low, hoping for your success,
and pray that things work out between Jung Hoon and you?
Do you want the world to revolve around you?
Don't drag Oh Bok into this.
I'll do what I want.
Even if it bruises Oh Bok's heart, he has to deal with it.
Why would you act like this?
You scare me.
If I hand over the recipe to Mrs. Choi,
she will release the ready-made food under her name.
Mr. Jung won't take that, and Mrs. Choi will be in trouble.
What does Mr. Jung have to do with this?
It's complicated. Please stay out of it.
Stay out of it?
No, I can't do that.
How could I when I've come this far?
I don't want you...
to bet your future as a cook on Mrs. Choi's risky gamble.
You're pretending to care about me again.
Da Jung.
Stop pretending to care about me!
Mr. Jung might hear you. Keep it down.
Enough with it and give me the recipe.
Do I not deserve to ask you that?
Is it that precious to you?
You think it's a waste after what I went through because of you?
Is that so valuable?
Do you want me to show you how hurt I was?
Do you want to see it?
Who do you think you are worrying about Mrs. Choi?
Do I mean less than Mrs. Choi?
You think my parents are less worthy than Mrs. Choi?
Da Jung, please keep it down.
Let go.
Do you want me to run around the streets like a madwoman?
Do you want to see me taken to a mental hospital?
Is that your wish?
Da Jung, please calm down.
How could I calm down?
I feel disgusted...
just seeing Jung Hoon at the dinner table, so how could I?
You heard what he said.
What was it? No one is as good-hearted as Da Jung?
Is he provoking me to see me go insane?
Stop it, Da Jung. Please.
Give me the cockle bibimbap recipe.
Give it to me. Hand it over!
What do you think you're doing? What's going on?
(Cockle bibimbap standard recipe, Royal Palace)
What's wrong with Da Jung?
What did you just give her?
(A Good Supper)
On television?
Cooks should appear on shows to become famous these days.
Don't you want me to become famous?
I like you.
I'll get going.
What am I supposed to do if you leave me too?
Are things going well with Young Shin?
You should ask her.
Is it the beer or you?
It must be the beer.
Why am I happy?
You know what you did. Give it to me when I'm telling you nicely.
Give me the anchovy broth recipe!
