(Episode 22)
It's cold. Close the door.
- Hey, Sae Na. - What?
Do you feel sorry about that?
What? Me? Why would I?
Be honest. I know you're sorry.
I'm not.
I can tell by your eyes.
Sae Na, I was born a few months earlier, and I'm your sister.
I will accept your apology.
Whatever. I'm not sorry.
Apologize when you can. You'll feel awkward to do it later.
Fine. I will apologize if you want my apology that badly.
I'm sorry. Happy?
- One more thing. - What?
- You forgot to do something. - My goodness.
I'm sorry, Sister.
Are you happy now? Do I have to say that?
Hey.
What now?
There's no toilet paper in the bathroom.
Thank you.
It smells good.
Are you going to cook meat? Are we having seaweed soup?
Yes, it's your brother's birthday today.
Do you mean Han Dol?
Are we celebrating his birthday this year, too?
Of course. We never skip it.
What about my brother in that room over there?
He thinks he's Han Dol. He'll think it's his birthday.
Still, we can't skip Han Dol's birthday.
We celebrate his birthday instead of having memorial services.
We'll just not tell him it's his birthday.
Let's just think about Han Dol while we eat.
Okay.
Well...
- Did you sleep well? - Of course.
I see.
Your light was on until late last night.
I had something to think about.
If you're worrying about yesterday, I'm okay.
You just saw us make up.
- Why can't you look me in the eye? - Sorry?
If you're really okay, why can't you look me in the eye?
It's about the money.
I found out only yesterday.
What are you doing outside?
Where are you coming from?
I went to buy a cake.
Come in.
I thought we'd just have a meal. You even bought a cake.
Sit down.
Has he never received a birthday cake or something?
Han Dol, sit here.
It's your birthday today.
Are we even lighting candles?
Of course. The birthday boy is here.
Give me just a second.
You're right. Our boy is here. Let's celebrate.
Seol Hwa, light the candles.
Let me take a picture.
Count me out. I'm not wearing any makeup.
I want one. Smile, my son.
- Dad, you too. Hurry. - Me?
- Hurry. - Come here.
- Fine. - Here we go.
Han Dol, smile.
There you go.
Okay. Han Dol, the candles are melting.
Happy birthday to you
Happy birthday, dear
Happy birthday, dear Han Dol
Happy birthday to you
- Blow out the candles. - And make a wish.
My son.
My baby.
You're silly.
Why are you crying after having a nice celebration?
I want to cry for some reason.
Why did you decide to buy a cake?
He was looking at this calendar.
He was happy that we marked Han Dol's birthday on it.
I couldn't tell him he wasn't our son.
He'd think it's his birthday,
and you'd prepare a birthday meal.
Why wouldn't we have a cake?
Growing up as an orphan, he probably never celebrated his birthday.
When he blew out those candles,
it felt like Han Dol came alive.
Every year,
I prepared a birthday meal so we wouldn't forget about him.
But we never blew out the candles.
It feels like I'm dreaming.
Han Dol, my baby.
I miss him so much.
(December 9, it was my first real birthday.)
(I celebrated it with the whole family including Father and Mother.)
I'm going to work. See you.
Father.
Where are you going?
I'm going to the store. I'm late.
Can't I go with you?
To the store?
It's just a tiny dumplings store. You can relax at home.
Father.
I'd love to see you at work.
"Resignation letter".
Min Kyu.
Aren't you going to work?
- Mom. - Why are you home so often?
Has anything happened at work?
- No. - What are you hiding?
It's nothing.
What is it?
Wait.
- You... - I can explain.
You wrote these letters so nicely.
I've never seen such beautiful handwriting.
In addition to being a doctor, you can even write Chinese characters.
What does it say?
- What? - I can't read it.
Well...
It says, "wedding gift".
Wedding gift?
I couldn't read it because I didn't study a lot.
Still, even highly educated people borrow money from me. I'm smarter.
You're smart because you take after me.
Why did you hide it from me?
Did you think I'd nag you to get married, too?
That's right.
Wait just a little. I'll find a nice girl...
who will be your wife.
After Min Hee gets married, that is.
Already? It's not been long since she broke up with Dr. Han.
She should do all she can to get over him.
- I have my eyes on someone. - Who is it?
I'll have to meet him first.
Eat before you go to work.
She can't even read "resignation letter".
She worked too hard to support me.
I shouldn't quit.
Ms. Sa, what brings you here this early?
Now that Ms. Eun is back home, I wanted to pay a visit.
Congratulations.
I brought an even bigger basket this time.
You didn't have to come all the way.
- Let's sit down. - Sit down.
Please prepare some fruits and tea.
Okay, Ma'am.
Mother wanted to invite you to thank you...
for visiting her at the hospital, and here you are.
Is that true?
Please invite me sometime.
Where's Mr. Yoon?
He went hiking.
This early?
He's an early bird.
Not as much as someone who visits someone's house in the morning.
Pardon?
I meant that I thank you.
But...
I don't see your son. Where is he?
My grandsons?
Joon Sang must be out, and is Ji Sang still asleep?
He didn't come back yesterday.
What? I came early in the morning to see their younger one.
Ji Sang is the younger one, right?
Yes. Do you know him?
I don't. I was just guessing.
But...
why wasn't he back yesterday?
Does he like to party?
He has a lot of work.
- He is... - Mother.
He's been doing this and that, trying to find his passion.
Really?
He should know many things to run a company later.
Right, he seems like he's about my daughter's age.
Should we let them meet up one of these days?
They can be friends.
I heard your daughter is getting married.
No way. That's a rumor.
My daughter is very feminine and well-behaved just like me.
She only studied in school. She's not the dating type.
I wonder who came up with such a rumor.
I've been getting a headache because of that rumor.
Really? I wanted to congratulate you.
People think lowly of me because I'm a private moneylender,
and they come up with these rumors.
It feels like I'm a burden to my children...
so I'm thinking about starting a new business.
Please do help, Ms. Mo.
How could I help you?
My goodness. Your outdoor clothing business...
started late, but I know it's doing well.
Do let me know about your know-hows.
My goodness.
- I'm home. - The chairman is home.
Isn't it cold? Are you just coming back?
My head is all refreshed.
Hello, I'm Sa Gui Jeong.
Oh, hello.
Goodbye, Ms. Eun.
Why don't you have breakfast with us?
I'm not that impolite.
Ms. Mo, please remember what I said.
Sure. Give me a call.
Mother, take this.
It was so pretty so I got it for you.
Why is it for me? You should get it for your wife.
She's like a flower herself. She doesn't need this.
My goodness. He must be joking.
Oh, my. You're a romantic guy.
My goodness, she's got everything.
I'm still pretty okay, but I haven't got anyone. I envy her.
- Honey, I'll take that. - Oh, here.
You should wear something warmer.
It was okay. I didn't feel any wind.
Really?
Anyway,
what brought Ms. Sa here?
She came to see Mother after she got discharged from the hospital.
But it's so early.
She's a busy woman. She probably had the time now.
Honey.
Don't get too close with her.
Why?
She is infamous among the businesspeople.
She ruined many businesses with her private loan business.
Really?
I had no idea because she was eager to volunteer and all.
Okay. I'll take your word for it.
Did Sae Na hurt you yesterday?
I already gave her a good scolding. Please do feel better.
She already apologized.
Mom, about that private loan...
Don't misunderstand that. I didn't bring him because of the money.
I know.
I am sorry about yesterday. I shouldn't have said that.
I know you wouldn't do that.
He saved me while I was getting bullied by those men.
He wouldn't even believe that I'm not his mother.
Then he said he'll forget everything and go to the US. I had no choice.
I will take care of him and find money to pay him back.
I'll do that. Don't worry.
I'll try to find some money, too.
How much do we need?
Is it 5,000 dollars?
I'm sure it's not 500 dollars.
Is it 50,000 dollars?
- Do you owe him 50,000 dollars? - It is a lot.
Yes, it is. But I'll try my best.
And if something like this happens again, please do share it with me.
I'm a bit disappointed.
Okay. My gosh, Seol Hwa.
What would I do without you?
I did tell her that I'll try.
But where will I find the money?
First, I need to get Table for Two on the show...
to get my real paycheck back.
That's the first step.
(Inbox)
(Table for Two)
He won't read his email, but he's blogging often.
(My favorite dumplings)
What? Geum's Dumplings?
(Geum's Dumplings)
"The secret behind Geum's Dumplings is..."
"the owner's heart."
"I learned the recipe from him, but it wasn't the same."
Did you make this yourself?
I know a great place,
and I learned the recipe from the owner.
Could he be?
May I take a look around?
My goodness!
That's hot.
You can't open that.
I thought it was going to boil over.
Are you hurt? Let me see.
- Doesn't it hurt? - I avoided the heat.
My gosh, your face is red. Go and grab a seat.
Oh my goodness.
Let's see.
Let's see. Keep this on your face to cool it down.
I'm fine.
That could've been awful.
I start my days by sterilizing pots and dishes.
People say dish soap is enough,
but I still feel like I have to do this.
I do it the old-fashioned way as a means to train my heart.
Be careful with the boiling pot.
You can never put your face above a boiling pot.
- Okay. - My gosh.
Let's see.
That...
I gave that to you. Do you like it?
What?
Of course. I love it. It's great.
It's very sharp and easy to use.
I like how it feels when I cut ingredients.
This is helping me out a lot.
Do you usually make all the dumplings?
Yes.
I have memories of Mother making dumplings for me.
Her dumplings tasted...
exactly the same as your dumplings.
That's how I found...
you and her.
- Is that so? - Yes.
I always missed those dumplings.
I am so glad that I can now have it whenever I want.
Sure. Tell me anything you want. I'll cook them all for you.
- Dad. - What brings you here, Seol Hwa?
Dad, did you teach anyone how to make dumplings?
- Teach someone? - Yes.
It's a man and he's been coming here for long.
I wonder who he is.
Oh, right. There was this one guy.
- What's his name? - Joon Sang.
I asked him for his name, and he said it was Joon Sang. Why?
Dad, can you make me some dumplings?
Is it for you?
No. I'm going to deliver them to our frequent customer.
Hello, Produce Geum Seol Hwa. I am Table for Two.
I have read your email.
I'd like to meet you...
(Smile Elephant)
That was quicker than I thought. I thought you were busy.
Right now?
Come in.
Is this your home?
No, I don't live here. This is my office.
It's where I cook and create recipes.
I see.
It's nice.
Mr. Table for Two.
Isn't that you?
How did you know?
You found out before I told you.
Stop smiling. You're awful. Why did you fool me?
I'm sorry. It wasn't on purpose, though.
After reading your email, I wanted to play a trick.
I thought it'd be fun to surprise you.
I'm really sorry.
I hate people who play around with other people's feelings.
All right. It was childish of me. I won't do it again.
This might sound like an excuse, but I was just writing to you.
It's true.
I told you we'd meet soon, too.
Fine. I'll let it pass this once.
You told me you never lie, but it was all fake.
By the way, how did you know I was Table for Two?
Try it, and you'll see how I found out.
(Geum's Dumplings)
This is...
My dad made them. They're Geum's Dumplings.
Sorry?
- Is Mr. Geum... - He's my dad.
He's a great man.
I should visit there more often from now on.
And see me more often, too.
Sorry?
Mr. Table for Two, I'm a producer at Three Eyes.
We'd love to have you as the host of our show.
Let me help you.
What? With the batter?
Forget it. You have to knead it for long. It's exhausting.
Your hand is injured.
Let me try. I already washed my hands.
Did you?
Do you want to try?
- Should I sprinkle some flour? - Yes.
Good job.
Am I doing it right?
You're doing great. Like that.
- How long should I knead it? - For 30 minutes.
Until all the air is out. You knead it again in an hour.
I see.
See? It's hard.
Does it hurt here?
What a shame that a doctor injured his hand.
I feel so sorry.
You'll recover. Don't worry, okay?
Okay.
I don't think I can do it.
Why not? You were going to suggest a meeting.
I was going to decline when we meet.
I cook because it's fun.
Going on television and becoming famous...
are not my thing.
Hey, you don't become famous just because you go on television.
You're looking too far ahead.
- In any case... - Wait.
I'm not here to hear your answer.
I just wanted to explain to you about our show.
(Cooking Show Plan)
Please read through our plan and think about it.
The show title is "Table for Two". We planned it with you in mind.
The concept goes well with your image, too.
What is my image like?
You're gentle and you make the other person comfortable.
Your videos are like that, too.
You handle the ingredients gently, just like with people.
We need a host like you.
- Seol Hwa, I'm... - Wait.
You can answer after giving it some thought.
Okay? I'll get going.
Seol Hwa.
(Show Title: Table for Two)
(Theme: Enjoying Korean food that is hearty yet simple)
- Son! - You're here.
Where's our son? Didn't you go out with him?
He went to the airport to get his luggage.
I can't believe you.
What did I do?
You used to come in saying, "Honey", "Sweetie", or "Baby".
Now you say, "Son". And you get disappointed he's not here.
- Are you jealous? - Yes, I am.
- Gosh. Are you that happy? - Yes, I am.
I'm so happy I got a son. What about you?
- Whatever. - Don't be like that. Tell me.
- We have customers here. - It's okay.
I'm happy, too.
Such a handsome, young man calls me Father.
Right? Why didn't you admit to it earlier?
Mr. Kim, what do you think of that land?
It looks nice. To take that land,
you lent your money to Mr. Song on purpose.
You knew he couldn't pay you back.
It's his fault.
Anyway, let's start a Korean restaurant on that land.
- Do you want to start a restaurant? - Everyone has to eat.
Restaurant business is the best.
"Traditional Korean food made from my family's special recipes".
I want to do that.
What do you know about family traditions?
That's hilarious.
What did you just say?
Traditions can always be made up.
To stop people from looking down on me,
I'll start a high-end, food business.
From the construction to finding a chef, I have a lot to do.
Wait.
Who's that?
He's supposed to be in the States. What is he doing now?
Where?
Stop the car right now.
He was right here.
- Find him right now. - Okay, Ms. Sa.
(Golden Pocket)
After saying goodbye to me, he didn't go back to the States?
Did he fool me?
You've been acting strangely since Dr. Han's malpractice.
Are you related to it in any way?
Hurry! We'll soon be safe!
Yes! They're not chasing us anymore!
He doesn't look like his mom. He probably looks like his dad.
Mother, were you aware that I was engaged?
Seol Hwa, you're bothering me.
You call me Dr. Han every time.
Why can't you call me Han Dol?
