You seem to be having fun.
–What? –I didn't know...
...but I think I missed you.
What? They're not getting back together, are they?
No, I doubt that.
Oh, that's right.
Sorry, but you know this is how I am.
I shouldn't have done that out of the blue.
Are you married?
Are you dating anyone?
You haven't changed one bit.
So you're still single, huh?
What a relief.
How'd you know I was here?
Why are you here at all?
This is a fried chicken restaurant.
I came to have fried chicken.
But it looks like you're closed for the day.
Want to go have a drink somewhere?
It's been five years since we last met.
If you don't have anything else to say, I'm going back inside.
Why?
You look like you have a lot to say to me.
And I have a lot of questions for you too.
Come on.
You suddenly showed up like this.
What do you want to ask me?
You're so mean.
I know this is out of the blue.
I didn't know...
...I'd run into you here.
But I really came for the fried chicken.
You're being too cruel.
I'll come back another time...
...to have some fried chicken.
(Wonil Real Estate)
They're not getting back together, are they?
–Yay! –Yay!
You can't even do that, you fool?
Wahoo! Lunch is on Bo–a. What should we eat?
How about tteokbokki, fried fritters and soondae?
Bo–a's totally loaded lately.
–Choose something else! –Something else!
I can't do anything right!
Darn it! I'm so freaking annoyed!
It's not that serious.
What's wrong with her?
Man.
Yeah, I know you have it rough.
The restaurant's been busy for three days straight now.
And whose fault is that?
Bo–a the artist.
It was because of you.
Oh no. In other words...
...all that she's worked toward
has come tumbling down, huh?
I need to figure out what Mr. Park is thinking.
(Episode 6 – Hard Work Can Be in Vain)
Wake up, Mr. Park.
Wake up.
What's this about?
Do you know what time it is? Why are you still in bed?
We're closed for the day, so I wanted to get some rest.
You can't take the day off just because we're closed.
On days off, you should network
and learn the skills of the trade.
Skills of the trade?
From who?
Those who've been selling chicken
for longer.
Isn't he the guy who asks for turf fees?
Shh.
We have an aversion to out–of– towners.
There may have been a slight misunderstanding.
But seeing as how we're all neighbors now,
forget everything you saw before.
Let's clap in welcome!
By the way, what is that?
(Profitable Youth Merchant Association Meeting)
–Oh, that. We will protect –We will protect
–our profits in this town. –our profits in this town.
Aka, Profitable Youth Merchant Association.
The youth who have shops here
unite, build friendships,
and explore ways to expand businesses.
We just meet up for drinks.
And on that note...
Here we go!
Here's to your success as the boss of the fried chicken joint.
Or rather, here's to you joining our neighborhood
merchant association!
–Bottoms up, gang! –Bottoms up!
You're not drinking any, Bo–a?
I can't drink due to the oriental medicine I'm taking.
Oriental medicine? Are you unwell?
Don't force the girl. She doesn't want any.
Let's just drink without her.
My name's Oh Young–ho.
My parents own the convenience store down there.
I'm Kim Gyu–man.
I have a butcher shop.
I'm Hwang Mi–na.
I'm the granddaughter of the owner of the real estate office,
as you know.
Now that we've introduced ourselves...
...to commemorate, another bottoms up!
Bottoms up!
–Here we go! It's a random game! –One!
–Two! –Three!
Yay!
Bottoms up!
We'll drink until dawn!
Don't you know what alcohol is?
It's a truth serum.
But what if he can really handle his liquor?
We outnumber him.
It's four against one. He won't last long.
With my four years of experience as a real estate agent...
...I wrote down important questions that will
reveal the Achilles' heel of a business owner.
We'll get obliterated by your boss,
so you ask him those questions.
I may be drunk right now
This may be a mistake
In the morning...
I don't want to play the game anymore.
I don't want to play anymore.
Mr. Park, are you all right?
Bo–a!
I'm all right...
...but are you?
You've been swaying since earlier
and that makes me dizzy.
Don't throw up! You'll get sober then.
Then, it'll be bad for the both of us.
Here, drink this.
Oh. Thanks, Bo–a.
Bo–a, isn't this soju?
You're not drunk enough, huh?
Drink up!
There you go.
Or maybe it's water.
Are you the type to black out
when you drink the night before?
Bo–a! I'm not drunk.
Watch. When you fry up chicken...
–...the order is drumstick, thigh, wing––
–I know.
Obviously, you're not drunk now.
So not now,
but when you're really drunk, do you black out?
If I drink a whole lot, I can't remember.
But look at me now.
Drumstick, thighs, wings, breast.
Chicken feet.
He's drunk.
I'm going to ask you a few questions.
Okay.
How much do you have in your bank account?
–How much was it? –You don't remember?
Then, what do your parents do?
Do they make good money?
Can they help out if you need it?
Also, do you have any loans?
So you're asking if my parents have loans?
No!
Never mind.
How long did you date your ex from the other day?
Was your relationship very serious?
So much so that she hugs you even after you've broken up?
You mean So–dam?
So–dam or Dae–dam, I don't care to know her name.
A man has to conduct himself carefully.
How could you let her hug you like that?
–Are you an easy guy? –What?
Whatever!
Just answer the question.
We were together for about three years.
Wow, you were together a long time.
She was an upperclassman at school.
I had a hard time after we broke up.
She dumped me.
You got dumped by her at that?
So did you want to get back with her
after getting hugged by her?
Do you want to make first love
out to be something grand like others do?
No, of course not.
First love is simply the first time you have loved, nothing more.
Really?
What was special about her...
...wasn't that she was my first love...
...but that she made me the person I am today.
What?
She's the one who taught me...
...that when things are tough, you have fried chicken with beer.
And that you let things go like that.
She said that's how grown–ups get over the tough times.
That's when I first fell in love.
It's how fried chicken and I fell in love.
You're so weird. You didn't ask the chicken for permission.
That's called love without reciprocity.
What? Bo–a, are you angry?
Bottoms up!
What? Special?
I'm in this situation because of his love games?
I'm going to destroy this fried chicken joint!
I'm so hungover.
When did I come down?
I can't remember a thing.
I think you have the wrong address.
What?
Never mind. I'll eat this jjamppong.
–How much? –I ordered it.
No matter how hungry you are...
...it's not right to intercept my food.
You seem to like things that belong to other people.
Bo–a, I'm sorry, but can you leave me some of the soup?
I have a hangover.
What?
Never mind.
Finally, I'm feeling a bit better.
I guess your first love never showed you how to get
over a hangover.
What?
We have customers already?
What happened? Did you fall into a vat of alcohol?
Something came up yesterday.
We're not due to open for a bit, right?
Yeah, you have about an hour.
Then I'll be back after a 30–minute nap.
I'm having a hard time, because I drank too much last night.
Welcome!
Right this way.
What are you doing?
We have customers lined up,
and he's taking a darn nap?
But Bo–a, it's not time to open yet.
Right, which means it's not time for me to clock in yet.
Well? Go take their orders.
I'll be down later
on time for work.
We're ready to order!
Right! Coming!
This is Showered with Good Chicken.
Pardon? The flyer?
(Showered with Good Chicken)
("Showered with Good Chicken Hits the Spot")
(Great Discount at Showered with Good Chicken!)
(Just like your mom would make it! It's delicious! Showered
with Good Chicken!)
(The ad was weird, but I went to Showered with Good Chicken
with my younger sibling)
"What was special about her wasn't that she was my first love,
but that she made me the person I am today."
How annoying. I never should've asked.
I was better off not knowing.
(Oh, that looks delicious!)
I really want to go too.
I tried some too, and the fried chicken sucks here.
You shouldn't go there.
Actually, it doesn't suck.
Yes, negative reviews have to be based
on fact to be believable.
What kind of creative bad review should I write?
I was looking forward to it since I heard it was good but it was okay.
It's not worth waiting in line for.
What?
That's not true.
(The owner is super nice)
Let's be honest, and not put down how it tastes.
The fried chicken here is delicious.
I mean that and it's undeniable.
I don't agree. I said how I felt,
–so why are you making an issue of it?
–Doesn't agree?
Is something wrong with her taste buds?
I won first place at the fried chicken tasting.
Are you sure you really tried it?
I'm a fried chicken lover to the bone,
and something must be wrong with your taste buds.
What? How annoying!
Do you work there or something?
Bo–a! Bo–a!
Is that Mr. Park?
Why is he making a fuss?
What is this?
Why am I doing this for the restaurant?
What? It's not time for me to come in for a while.
Did you see this?
(Fried Chicken 11,800 won)
We suddenly got a bunch of customers,
so I wondered what was going on,
and it was all thanks to your flyer.
Oh, I see.
Did you know
your flyer went viral?
Yeah, I know.
People are weird.
You knew but you didn't even let on.
I had no idea.
Thanks. I didn't listen to you
and changed the flyer design.
I'm sorry. I didn't realize.
You don't look very happy though.
I'm happy.
Great. Can't you tell I'm happy?
I have even better news.
Ta–da!
What's this?
I just got a call at the restaurant,
and they asked who drew the flyer.
–Huh? Why? –Why else?
Because your cartoon was fun.
They asked if you wanted to have a serial publication on
their website.
A serial webtoon? Me?
Yes, isn't it great?
That's the number of who's in charge, so give them a call.
Bo–a...
...is something the matter?
I'll come to work when it's time.
I'll see you later.
Jin–sang. What's going on here?
("Love Starting Today")
(By Seo Bo–a)
You said you'd look over my webtoon...
...so I gave it to you. What the––
I gave you feedback.
I know.
You said it was awful and nothing could be salvaged.
You said to start over.
The series you're doing...
...is my story.
So are you suggesting I copied yours?
–What–– –It may be the same storyline.
And the characters are similar.
But yours pales compared to mine.
You've seen it, so you know.
Your level is here...
...mine is here.
It's not plagiarism.
It's still plagiarism.
You got your idea from mine.
Watch what you say.
If I hear you told anyone this...
...I won't let it slide.
If you and I fight, who'd take your side?
How could you do this to me?
Unless you want to end up being branded as a liar and a fraud,
keep your mouth shut.
If you so much as say one thing...
...I'll make sure you never work in this industry.
If they find out that I was the one...
...who drew the flyer...
...they'll change their minds.
Thank you. Goodbye.
–I'll take you inside. How many? –Two.
I came alone. I can sit anywhere there is an empty table, right?
I'm upset as it is.
Why is she back?
That's strange.
What's good here?
Everything.
That's good. Give me one of each.
Okay.
–What? –Give me one of each.
Everything off the menu.
Excuse me.
Don't you see we have a line outside?
If you order too many,
what about the others?
We have a limit per customer
at our restaurant.
One person, one chicken.
Since when?
Then I'd like an order of half fried and the other half
with sauce.
Is that alright?
Table two, half fried, half with sauce.
Why is she back?
How should I know?
Choi–go doesn't have time to date.
He has to focus on his cooking.
–Right? –Of course.
If a chef's attention isn't on his food,
the food won't be as good.
Plus, Choi–go is just learning the ropes.
–There's someone–– –What?
Never mind.
Just focus on frying up the chicken.
What's wrong with this?
What? Is there a problem?
Enjoy.
Yum. It's delicious.
Excuse me.
Did you need something?
May I talk to the owner?
It won't take long.
Sorry.
We're very busy right now...
...so he's too busy frying up
–chicken that–– –We're sold out for the day.
(Showered with Good Chicken)
You've seen my show, "Yum Yum Slurp Slurp," right?
It's the hottest foodie program these days.
(Program Appearance Contract)
My restaurant can go on this show?
Yeah.
I told you.
I really came to have fried chicken.
The fried chicken's delicious and the atmosphere's great.
Plus, it's a hot place these days because of your flyer...
...so I'd really like you to be on my show.
A camera crew will visit your restaurant unannounced if
you agree.
It could be as early as tomorrow.
Or maybe a month later.
We're not doing the show.
I'm sorry, but I'm having...
...an important talk with the owner.
I need you to end the important talk.
We won't be on the show.
Rather, we can't.
Choi–go, get up. Don't listen to her anymore.
–Wait, Albert. –It's Andrew.
–How many times must I tell you it's Andrew?
–Why not?
Why won't you do the show?
Other restaurants are dying to be on my show.
This sort of opportunity doesn't come often.
Wait. Calm down, both of you––
That's just the way it works here.
–You don't need to know. –I mean,
the fried chicken is good, so we want lots of people to know.
Why are you so against it?
You're not the owner.
If your fried chicken was good today...
...you got lucky today.
What?
We found out in the middle of the shift...
...but for the last couple days, the food didn't taste consistent.
We ordered more suddenly,
so maybe the brining wasn't done right...
...or it could've been something else.
Oh! No wonder.
Someone left a review saying our fried chicken wasn't great.
That's disgraceful.
Do you...
...brine it here?
You don't get brined chicken?
Of course.
It's a restaurant, I Andrew Kang, works at.
How are you going to handle all the customers that way?
Don't tell me you do everything here yourself as well.
Like cutting up the chicken and even making the sauce?
Yeah, we got them pre–done before...
...but it tastes different made fresh.
–It's a bit of work–– –That's not a bit of work!
For now, that's possible...
...but do you think you can keep that up for two or three years?
See? You already have a problem.
This is good.
Since you're going on TV,
change your system.
There are places that can make your brine mix
for you the way you want.
Logically speaking, brining and cutting up the chicken...
...will be more consistent if you have it outsourced.
–It'll be less work for you. –Real cooking requires more work.
You've only heard nonsense.
Are you going to sit here listening to her nonsense?
You can hardly handle the customers now...
...so how could you go on TV?
You're really not going to be on my show?
Being on the show...
...will be like being validated as a must–eat restaurant.
It's up to you.
You're the boss.
Yeah, you make the decision.
You own the place.
(Mi–na)
So you may or may not be on TV?
Yeah, there was a huge fuss, but he hasn't decided yet.
That's awful.
Once you go on "Yum Yum Slurp Slurp,"
you'll get customers from across the country for at least a month.
–Is the show that popular? –Yes!
If you only got the answers to even half of my questions,
I could come up with a plan.
He was so wasted that
he couldn't even speak.
We gave him too much.
What are your thoughts on this?
What does Mr. Park seem to want more?
I don't know.
It's what he wants.
What?
Do you realize how serious this is?
If you're on that show,
your dream of owning a cafe will be dashed.
I know...
...but every time I try something, it doesn't pan out.
I feel like the business picked up because of me.
Maybe I need to be praying.
What?
You haven't been praying lately?
What?
Yes, because it wasn't working.
You can't skip that for even a day!
It takes that kind of diligence.
Get some water and do a prayer,
–and come to my office. –Okay.
I'll be right there.
Is it that hard to decide?
You're still here?
It's late.
I waited nearby for you to get off...
...but you wouldn't come out.
I wanted to talk about us, not just about work.
Without interruptions.
I figured I wouldn't be so welcomed,
so...
I brought these.
You haven't changed at all.
I am who I am.
People don't change.
But what happened to you?
Tell me.
Why did you decide to open a fried chicken restaurant?
I figured you'd get a job at a good company...
...and live an ordinary life.
I love fried chicken, that's why.
That was all thanks to me.
So you opened this place...
...somewhat because of me, huh?
What are you getting at?
It just makes me happy.
Even after all this time...
...there are still traces of me with you.
I must seem easy to you.
What?
What's going on here?
They're not really going to get back together, are they?
I was serious...
...about our relationship.
So even now...
...I feel uncomfortable seeing you.
When we're together, I remember us...
...and I can't be so nonchalant...
...the way you are right now.
Can't you tell me why?
I have none.
How is that possible?
You want to suddenly break up after three years?
You really want to know?
I don't want to hurt you.
You're...
...like a book I finished.
I read you so much...
...that I know what page has the mistakes.
You're a book like that.
I know...
what you'll say
and do now.
And seeing you...
...doesn't give me butterflies anymore.
It's not fun anymore.
You're still very angry at me, huh?
–It's not anger but–– –But...
...did you know?
You being mad at me...
...means you still have feelings for me.
I understand you being mad at me.
And for the anger to fade...
...you'll need time.
I'll accept it all, anger and all.
Just like how you did for me before.
So–dam, I––
I didn't know before seeing you out of the blue like this...
...that I still had feelings for you.
Don't push me away. Let's––
Mr. Park!
Bo–a, you're still up?
Come upstairs, right now!
–What? –Don't tell me...
...you live here with her.
Why aren't you coming up?
Wait.
We're not done talking.
I'm sorry.
Let's talk another time.
You dropped it in here?
And you flushed it?
What will we do?
We can't do much about it now
but I thought maybe
you might have memorized the number.
I don't remember.
You don't, right?
It's okay. It wasn't meant to be then.
That's no way to think.
–What? –It's your dream.
Opportunity knocked. You can't just
brush it aside.
What will we do?
I really can't remember the number at all.
It's not that big of a deal.
Subtitles by K-Plus Asia
Mr. Park, I'm here.
(016–323–2015)
I can't tell him anything.
Bo–a, when did you get here?
Just now.
You were doing this all night?
I'm pretty sure there was a three and a two.
Do you remember any of the numbers?
Are you this nice to everyone?
What?
Hello?
Oh, okay. One moment.
What about the vegetable delivery?
What?
What? One moment please.
Come again? What time?
Four o'clock in the afternoon? That's too late.
Then, we'll handle it ourselves today.
Can you deliver it on time tomorrow?
Okay!
Bo–a!
–What? –I got it.
What?
That's the number, right?
I think so.
–Call them. –What?
But we have to open soon,
so I'll do it later upstairs.
Come on!
(Wonil Real Estate)
Oh, Mr. Kim!
Long time no see. What brings you by?
I'd like to put my place up.
What?
But your business is flourishing. Why?
Well, it's killing me.
I can't work like this.
Come on.
I guess it only seems like your business is doing well, huh?
Right.
Oh. Yes.
Okay.
I'll give it some thought and call you.
Okay.
What'd they say?
She said to work on my portfolio and for me to come in next week.
Then what will happen next?
If my work gets good responses from readers,
I'll get the job. If not, I won't.
That's how they normally do it.
Normally.
What are you doing?
I'm getting ready for work.
It's what I do every day. What's wrong?
You have more important things to do.
I'll take care of this,
so go up right now and prepare your portfolio.
That's okay.
I don't really have much of a chance.
Thanks, though.
Thanks to you it was a good dream, though it was brief.
Why give up even before trying?
Why do you keep teasing me with pipe dreams?
They said they want scary webtoons.
I'm not good at that.
I can't even watch scary movies. How could I write scary webtoons?
You can't do anything other than scary webtoons?
Webtoons are divided into genres and days of the week.
And the one series that just finished was the scary series.
They want someone who does scary webtoons.
They saw the flyer and said it was strangely terrifying.
That's true.
–What? –I mean...
...they're professionals.
They recognized your talent,
which is why they called.
Your flyer scared me too.
How dare you!
I did that to...
Anyway, we're really busy these days,
so what will you do if I'm gone?
I told you not to worry about the restaurant.
I was going to hire another part– timer.
Why?
–Don't tell me... –I thought a lot about it...
...and I'm going to do the show.
–What? –Oliver will be here soon...
...so I'll tell you when he gets in.
You mean Oliver Twist.
I'm Andrew Kang.
Oh.
What are you going to tell us?
Don't tell me you're going to do the show.
It is a good opportunity.
I want people to know...
...how good our fried chicken is.
You're going to use chicken that was made by someone else...
...and go on TV to make easy money?
–Is that it? –No.
I'm going to make the chicken myself as I do now.
What about the customers that come in droves?
You can hardly handle it now.
I'm going to hire another person.
That's the answer you came to after thinking all night?
And I'll condense the menu to just fried chicken.
For now.
Offer only fried chicken?
If I use your recipe,
the seasoned and soy sauce chicken ingredients
are expensive and take long to prepare.
After we are known for our fried chicken...
...I'll slowly work on the rest of the items and then put them
on the menu.
What do you think?
You sure you can handle that?
There will definitely be customers who want other recipes.
It's best to make one good item...
...rather than a bunch of items that are inconsistent.
If that's how you feel...
...let's get ready to open.
Yes, chef!
The texture is––
–Hello. –Hey, Mr. Park.
Oh my.
Why are you buying so much?
My vegetable vendor said
something came up and he couldn't deliver.
I hope the vendor has something...
...come up every day.
Oh yeah,
I need to hire a part–timer.
Can you recommend someone
who would be a good worker?
A good worker?
I do know someone.
The perfect part–timer.
–Why'd you want to see me? –Hey, Bo–a.
–Come on, come on. –Why else?
You didn't come out yesterday.
Sit.
Drink this.
Bo–a, today,
–I did something for you. –What?
Your boss said
he wanted a recommendation for a part–timer.
So I recommended someone...
...amazing.
The nightmare of our town's business owners.
Also known as the part–timer from hell.
Bae Ki–bum.
Why is he a nightmare?
–You haven't heard of him? –Hey.
She's never hired a part–timer before.
He's lazy and all talk.
Your boss will waste money on him
and suffer too.
He might even put Mr. Park
out of business before getting his first paycheck.
–What? –That fast?
The place had a line out the door all week.
You now that indoor cart bar down the street?
Mr. Kim came to us saying he wanted to sell the place.
We went there a few times and couldn't even get in.
It was too busy.
So why sell it?
He had his reasons.
Have you heard of dropping a bomb?
Dropping a bomb?
Let me explain.
Let's not.
You didn't even let me explain.
This will definitely work.
You've done enough for me.
I'll take care of things myself.
We're done here, right?
I have to work, so bye.
–See you. –But...
What's wrong with her today?
She's lost her will to fight...
...because winning feels bleak.
Poor Bo–a.
(Showered with Good Chicken)
Hello, I'm the new part–timer, Bae Ki–bum.
I own the place...
...and this is the chef, An...
Anderson.
Andrew Kang.
Oh, Andrew.
And this is your colleague server, Seo Bo–a.
I look forward to working with you. I'll work hard.
All talk.
I'm sorry?
Nothing.
Shall we open now?
(Showered with Good Chicken)
–Your fried chicken. –Thank you.
Where's the new server? We're in the weeds.
Sorry.
The main section of "Yum Yum Slurp Slurp"
is the surprise inspection.
Today's restaurant
is a fried chicken joint called "Showered with Good Chicken."
How could you come so suddenly?
You're the owner, right? Will you tell us about your restaurant?
Tell you about the restaurant?
Our fried chicken restaurant is a fried chicken restaurant.
We have great food here.
When the cameras come in, you can start.
It's our secret recipe.
You can't film this.
–Please don't. –Cut.
Try not to be so awkward. Let's do that again.
As long as we're at it, try harder.
You're blaming it on me?
It's not my fault.
–Wow. –Seriously...
...you're not fit for TV.
Let's do that again.
What will you do?
I'll block it from here.
You're here alone?
Sit.
Why'd you come today of all days?
I'm busy as it is with that show shoot.
And the new part–timer
is off not working too.
I haven't seen him all day. What do you want to eat?
One fried chicken...
–...and a glass of draft beer. –Okay.
The fried chicken may take some time.
As you can see, the kitchen's busy.
It went well as planned.
You think it'll really be alright?
Bo–a said not to drop the bomb.
You know her better than that. She may always be complaining,
but she's too kind.
When it comes down to it, she can't be harsh.
Earlier, she was so down. She wasn't herself.
–I felt bad for her. –Let's not drag it out any longer.
Let's end it right away and for sure.
If we need a bad girl in town,
I'll step up to the plate.
We're friends after all.
Hello? This is the police station, right?
You love beer but you haven't had a sip.
Are you really Kim Gyu–man?
Yeah.
Did you shave?
Are you Yong–man?
Gyu–man's cousin?
Yes.
How old are you? You're still in high school, right?
–Yes, a freshman. –Darn it!
How dare you!
Get up. We're shooting for a show.
Have you no fear?
We're here from the police station.
–What is this about? –We got a report
saying you sold beer to a minor.
–Please comply. –What?
What will I do?
(The Best Chicken)
–My resignation letter. –You're going too far with this.
–It's all my fault. –Bo–a.
–Mr. Park. –I'm okay.
You're not okay!
Got him. He's dead!
All three of them lack motive.
There's someone else.
What are you doing?
It's time to sleep. It's late.
