I'm your son.
I won't go down alone.
You won't?
It doesn't matter that you're my biological mother.
If you mess with Young Shin, I'm going to tell the whole world that I'm your son.
If you think you can do it, then go ahead and do what you what.
So you want to fight it out?
You're my son in the end.
Don't forget that.
I'm going to tell the world, so I don't forget...
that I am the great lady Choi Sook Jung's son.
I'm sorry,
but can you start dating Da Jung?
- What? - Just pretend to date her.
You can break up when the time is right.
I never thought I'd hear that one.
Her father has the key to your future.
Mom, get it together.
Where is this coming from?
Da Jung's father knows a huge secret that'll ruin your aunt.
Your aunt is going to take over everything.
There won't even be a crumb left for you.
Whether there's a crumb or not, it's Uncle Jong Gwon's fortune.
Before your aunt came into the picture, your uncle thought of you as his own son.
- Don't you remember? - Mom!
She fooled me...
as if she was a stupid woman who only knew how to cook.
If I had known she was such an awful person,
I would've tried desperately to prevent their marriage.
I have to work.
You need to help me. Who else do I have?
Would pretending to date Da Jung and finding out the secret help you?
Of course, what else could you do to help me?
Then I don't think I can help you.
I'm sorry.
Don't stay stuck in here working.
I'd rather you just go hang out at clubs.
You might even run into the daughter of a rich family.
What is Da Jung thinking,
causing this trouble and then staying put at home?
She is answering her phone.
She said her father isn't letting her leave the house.
What is it that you made her do?
I made her spread a rumor that Young Shin and Gyung Soo have an odd relationship.
What? How could you think of doing that?
I had no choice for the ready-made food series to succeed.
Aunt Sook Jung, please think rationally.
If you're so rational, then tell me how to make my son into Kang Jong Gwon's son.
If you're that afraid of your father, then give up your dream of being a star.
How many people do you think become stars while listening to their parents?
I told you to spread the rumor. Why aren't you doing it?
I'm stuck at home. How can I spread a rumor?
You can use your phone.
Spread the rumor all over to scare Young Shin into making a recipe!
When will you help me with the management contract?
The ready-made food series will have to be successful before that happens.
You want me to spread the rumor on the phone?
Oh, my. What brings you here, scary boy?
Da Jung is here, isn't she?
She's in the CEO's office.
Where's the CEO's office?
Do you know what this is?
It's the drafted contract from the management agency.
Why would I be so crazy as to make you into a star?
What are you doing to her?
Who are you?
I'm Da Jung's friend.
I guess the entire neighborhood is going to visit.
The stingy-looking woman came to our neighborhood too.
She asked Da Jung in front of me what you ordered her to do.
Your people are all coming to our neighborhood,
so why can't we come here?
Oh Bok, you're out of your mind.
What are you doing here?
Did you go there because you're curious about what I ordered?
What does it matter to you?
What's the point of going there?
What will you do if you figure it out?
Because of the scandal that you started,
do you think Jong Gwon will believe what you say?
The definitive evidence will come out someday.
He won't have a choice but to believe it.
Try your best to find that evidence.
I'll try as long as I'm living.
Do you think risking your life will get you evidence that isn't there?
If I risk my life, something will undoubtedly surface.
Young Shin, you're so talented.
You can already prepare it on your own.
You know I have to follow through if I get interested in something.
I'm like that too.
You would've been a great scientist.
Then I probably would've developed a strain of super corn...
and contributed greatly to resolving the food shortage.
Are you serious or not?
Why are you joking so seriously?
She's serious.
Young Shin has the skill of surviving without sleep.
She studied like a fiend in middle and high school.
But why didn't you go to college?
She would've gone to Seoul National University if she had.
Really?
I'll go buy some coffee.
- I'll go. - No, it's fine.
I need to get something from my bike anyway.
Did you not go to college because of your finances?
I don't need it to succeed as a cook anyway.
Still, it's too bad.
You were such a good student.
By the way, can you really survive with no sleep?
I just slept where others didn't see me.
For example, I slept while walking,
or stopped to sleep while going upstairs.
People couldn't tell that I was sleeping.
That doesn't make any sense.
Anyway, even when Mr. Park jokes around,
it sounds like he's serious because of his looks.
Anyway, I really like coming to this neighborhood.
Fishing is fun, the food is good,
And it reminds you of your first love, right?
That's true.
That's a bonus.
What does it mean for a person to love someone else?
Mr. Jung,
even if people ridicule us...
for living in the same house, I think I can handle it.
It's better than losing you.
I'm nothing without you anyway.
Loving another person...
is like trading the whole world for them.
Is it?
I couldn't do that.
My parents trusted me, relied on me, and loved me,
so I couldn't trade my parents to choose that woman.
Do you regret it?
Rather than regret, it's a memory.
I just remember that I did that back then.
Even if I were reborn, I'd make the same choice,
and I'd live with that memory just like now.
I was listening to that seriously.
This darn car.
It breaks down at a critical moment.
You've been riding this car for a long time.
You had it the first time you came to the Diner.
I need to get a new car by all means.
This is an utter disgrace.
The song will end soon. That's no good.
Oh, my!
You have a lot of luck.
I have an appointment today,
so I'll eat next time.
Thank you for the ride.
Right. Go inside.
I'll see you next time.
It smells delicious!
Did you catch a lot of fish?
No.
When you go fishing, there are more days that you come back with no fish.
Exactly! I might have a grudge against it.
You look good because you got some fresh air.
I'm hungry.
You should wash your hands and then eat.
I touched worms for bait with this hand.
I cut the worms...
with my hand to save them.
Go wash it right now!
Whenever I face Jong Gwon, he keeps asking...
when the bone hangover soup will be ready.
I shouldn't say anything in front of him.
Once it's said, that's all he asks about.
Why did you say you're 100 percent confident?
How can you promise such a thing when you don't know what will happen?
Back then, Da Jung got the recipes...
like a vending machine would when I click a button.
Did you come here on purpose to try Sook Jung's bone hangover soup?
She said it was complete.
What are you doing here?
I will go to work after I eat.
Then eat in the corner of the hall.
I normally do eat there.
I heard you were coming, so I waited to eat with you.
Why would you wait like you're longing for me?
- Sit down. - Okay.
Good work.
I'll try it out.
This won't do.
All bone hangover soup is the same.
Do you eat bone hangover soup because you want to eat meat?
There are lots of meat on the bone,
but the meat is dry and the soup tastes stale.
If you use too many perilla leaves, it ruins the soup flavor.
Didn't you add too many perilla leaves as you weren't confident...
with the soup taste?
Too many perilla leaves?
I'm just saying amateurs do that.
Amateurs?
Are you saying I'm an amateur?
Bone hangover soup is food that requires decades of know-how.
I will change the dish and develop it again.
No. I'm going to release the ready-made bone hangover soup.
Honey.
It's impossible to expand the business...
into a food manufacturing company if you're just going to make a few dishes.
It will just cost the fortune we have now.
Min Gyung and Sung Chan, you can leave.
Jong Woo, please excuse us.
I like it.
I'm enjoying this right now.
Where did you go today?
Can't you see?
I went fishing.
Whenever you go fishing, you treat me differently.
What?
Is there someone at the fishing hole?
What on earth are you talking about?
Women have a strange sixth sense.
On days that he goes fishing, even I can see...
that he is distant from you.
Even the bone hangover soup got rejected.
Yes, Mrs. Choi.
What are you doing so freely?
The agency asked for an answer by tomorrow.
You've given up wanting to be a star chef, have you?
Am I right?
Move aside.
Where are you going?
Oh Bok, go inside.
I'll call you when we're done talking. Wait inside.
Mi Jung?
Didn't you hear a weird rumor about Young Shin lately?
The guys are saying that she's in a weird relationship...
with the man at the Diner.
What do you think it means? It's obvious.
I don't know for sure yet.
I'll find out and call you back.
The agency sent me a draft of the contract,
but she ripped it apart in front of me.
Do you want to be that famous, Da Jung?
Of course! How can you even ask that?
Is that why you called your friend in front of me and said that?
You didn't think I could do it?
Once I sign the deal with an agency,
I can escape the clutches of Mrs. Choi.
No! You can never escape that way.
Oh Bok, Da Jung is leaving.
Wait up!
Why are you sitting blankly?
Aren't you hungry?
Shall I go and buy ramyeon?
I'm not hungry.
Are you sick?
I'm...
heartbroken.
Why?
Because you're worried about Pil Sun?
She's been doing business here for a while,
so she would've gone to another market.
She'll be back.
I don't think she'll come.
Why not?
I don't know.
Bring your bankbook.
Why do you need my bankbook?
How much did you save in your bank account?
I'll add some more and apply for a fixed deposit, so bring it.
I didn't save much.
Didn't you say you had around 15,000 dollars not long ago?
I'll give you 5,000 dollars,
so make a fixed deposit of 20,000 dollars.
I don't need to make another fixed account.
What use is keeping money in your checking account?
The interest is too low.
I have less than 10,000 dollars in my account.
What did you use it for?
I didn't use it.
Then did you lend it to someone?
Do you want to see me collapse? Why would you lend your money?
They said they'll pay it back soon.
Who did you lend it to?
There was someone.
Tell me now, so I can at least go and get a promissory note.
Say it now!
How will you get a promissory note?
She won't be coming anymore.
Did you lend money to Pil Sun?
No.
Is she not showing up after borrowing money from you?
That's not it.
Then why won't she pick up your calls?
Even if she works at another market, she can pick up your call.
It's not her.
What would we have done without Oh Bok?
He seems to stay right by her and watch over her.
If we could find a suitable candidate for Da Jung at a time like this,
we could marry her off.
I'll go home and swap over with Oh Bok,
so you have dinner before coming home, and I'll have mine later.
All right.
How devoted you are.
Aren't you tired of it?
Why would I be tired of seeing you? I'm honored.
Good job, Oh Bok. It must've been a long day for you.
It would've been a hassle for Da Jung.
Thanks for bearing with me all day. I'll see you tomorrow.
Yong Goo.
Why aren't you eating at all?
I think I'd have an upset stomach if I did.
Pil Sun must've moved to another market. She hasn't been coming for days.
Still, are you skipping your meal?
I'm sorry. I'll excuse myself.
He never left the table first.
Yong Goo, where are you going without having dinner?
Go on in and eat.
Where are you going?
I'm going to the market.
This late at night?
Yes. I left something there.
I'm sorry I'm late.
Have a seat.
She can move from one market to another,
but she could pick up his calls.
She must be busy with work.
I think Yong Goo lent her money.
She seems to have left after borrowing money from him.
Did Uncle say that?
He denied it.
I told him to bring his bankbook, so I could make a fixed deposit for him,
but he just couldn't bring it.
He did lend her money.
That's what she was after from the beginning.
Why would an average person like herself hang around Uncle otherwise?
He looked heartbroken.
It took him years to save it up.
That's not the issue.
How devastated must he be when he's a kid at heart?
He never had a relationship with a woman in his life...
and became attached to her for the first time.
Didn't you see Yong Goo on the way here?
He went to the market, saying he left something there.
Stay for dinner. I'll have mine later.
Go in and have your meal.
Is that all you have to say?
Isn't that why you're here?
Surely that's not the only reason.
What did you want to tell me? Tell me now.
We have a gathering on the weekend. I want to take you as my partner.
Let's go together. I'll introduce you to my friends as well.
Why, are you going to be tired on the weekend?
Why would I go there?
Why?
I'm sorry. I should go after Yong Goo.
Yong Goo.
Hey, Young Shin.
Why are you sitting out here in the dark?
I'm just sitting.
You know...
she used to sit over there.
It's just that without her,
the whole town feels empty.
It seems like...
the whole world is empty.
I said this before.
If they know that you are waiting for them, they will surely come back.
That's how Oh Bok came back too.
Be more patient...
and wait for a few more days.
She might not come back.
Why do you say that?
Because I'm stupid.
Yong Goo.
It's okay if she doesn't.
I can...
remember her.
I have such fun memories with her.
Memories?
She left me...
with many good memories.
That alone...
makes me feel grateful.
She came to someone like me.
Soon...
someone else will take that place...
and sell things.
Still,
I can remember her.
Yong Goo.
She gave this to me.
When I see this,
it always occurs to me...
that she's been meaning...
to leave me...
when she gave me this.
What does it mean for a person to love someone else?
(A Good Supper)
I put everything on the line for you.
Why did you stop?
Let's just stay friends.
I'm sorry, Yong Goo.
Sorry about what?
I'll save a lot of money for you before I'm gone.
I received the result of the health checkup.
I won't have much time.
- It will be better if he dies soon. - Aunt.
I never loved him for one moment.
Tell me anything.
I'll do anything, so just tell me.
There's a problem.
There's a rumor all over the market.
What kind of rumor?
