Koo Dae Young!
Dae Young!
You probably heard that I'm enlisting next week.
Peanut, take care.
If only he had fun before we left.
Shall we get some air?
I'll have to see the same barracks every day.
I want to see something pretty before I go.
"Having a name you want to call in secret..."
"is fantastically pleasing."
"To have somebody you wish..."
"to wake up to after thinking about..."
"is a happy but lonely thing."
- Hello? - What was the call about?
My dad's gotten into an accident.
Your dad had an affair with her. That's why we got divorced.
She took him away from me.
Bring Seo Yeon back with you.
Did you hear anything about Ji Woo?
Seo Yeon left to study abroad,
and Ji Woo is in the wind.
I guess first loves never end up together.
If we hadn't lost touch after I got discharged,
we'd have enjoyed many meals like this together.
Right?
- Mom. - Sorry.
Did you have to ask her that...
when she's not in her right mind?
I couldn't because it's a lie.
I know it's meaningless now,
but I'm sorry. I won't make you suffer from now on.
Aren't you going back to the States?
That's because I have a lot of debt to pay back.
What are you doing here?
I don't know. Why am I here?
I'll go on liking you.
Rather than denying it and be confused,
I think it would be better to just like you.
You scored.
You get to work with someone highly trained.
Teach me how to be in a one-sided love.
What?
You said that you experienced a one-sided love too.
Can I ask you questions if I don't cross the line?
- How about a movie today? - No, thanks.
How about dinner?
- No. - Gosh.
Seo Yeon has no intentions of opening up.
Sun, I think you should give up.
Do you need anything? I'd like to give you a present.
Why don't we just sleep together?
What?
You keep visiting...
and giving presents to win me over...
just to sleep with me.
Why waste time?
Cross the line right now and get bored soon.
Dae Young.
Peanut, were you out walking Peanut?
Yes. Where's Seo Yeon?
Didn't she come with you?
Well...
She had other plans.
I just hope she doesn't...
wake me up at night after getting all drunk.
I doubt she'll be back tonight.
What? How do you know that?
I have a hunch, that's all.
Let's go get a bite to eat.
Sure. I'll take Peanut in and be right out.
Let's go.
Why does braised short ribs have so much broth?
- Finally, the tables have turned. - What?
My food mentor, the charismatic foodie,
will finally learn something from me.
That is watered braised short ribs, a traditional dish of Jeonju.
It's a stew cooked with pork ribs, glass noodles, and bean sprouts.
I see.
Let's call Sun and ask him to join us.
- He seems a bit depressed lately. - He must be busy, so don't.
- Still, I should call. - No, don't.
Sun.
Yes, Ms. Lee.
Why are you panting?
You're jogging?
I wanted to ask if you're up for a meal.
Okay, I'll text you the restaurant's address.
Is Sun jogging? Are you sure?
Yes, he's at Han River, so he'll stop by.
What on earth is going on?
I heard you're sleeping on the floor at Ms. Lee's house.
I bet you tossed and turned. Get some rest.
- What? - You're exhausted,
and that's why you're talking nonsense.
Now get some rest.
She acts like she's strong,
but she fears being abandoned so much that...
she abandons love first.
That's how timid and traumatized she is.
Just how traumatized is she?
I see I'm right on time.
Doesn't meat taste the best when grilled?
I'm not a fan of boiled meat.
What? Boiled meat?
- Why you fool. - What?
You think that meat should only be grilled.
This dish will change your misguided perception.
This isn't like your typical beef stew.
The meat isn't cooked just for its decent broth.
The dish was conceived so that the whole family...
could all enjoy meat during hard times.
The juice from bean sprouts...
is like the blood, sweat, and tears of parents...
who wanted their children to have a hearty meal.
Unlike meat that is grilled,
the meat in this dish is kept lean to bring out clean flavors.
That's why it's more rich and deep.
That depends on preference.
The bean sprouts have wilted down.
It needs to be stirred.
Now's the time to cut the meat...
so that it can suck up the sauce.
All right. Judging by the color, we should eat the noodles first.
Of course you know the perfect time to eat.
Sun, here you go.
Thank you.
Ms. Lee, have the meat that isn't stuck on bones.
Of course you know which cut to eat.
When eating meat, you should never leave out...
the meat on the bones.
Let me tell you about it. The collagen in the tendons...
that attach the meat to the bones turns into gelatin when boiled.
It sucks up 10 times more water,
making it tender and moist.
You can't say you ate short ribs unless you eat it.
I know all that.
I just didn't want her to be bothered.
Whatever. Just do something about your glass noodles...
that have been turning mushy.
Sure.
It's good.
Delicious.
Try it wrapped.
It's good.
I love its broth too.
- It's good. - It's delicious.
Didn't you say you were not fond of boiled meat?
This one is delicious.
We should finish our meal with fried rice as always. Is three enough?
We still have some meat left, so let's make it two...
and order makguksu.
It's amazing.
What are you doing?
That's my girl. You've noticed.
I noticed how the rice was a bit watery when it was served earlier.
By making a hole in the middle to help the fluid evaporate,
the fried rice can be cooked more thoroughly.
You two get along very well.
Others might think you're a married couple of 10 years.
It's because we've been friends for a long time.
Let me go to the restroom.
Just ask me what happened between me and Seo Yeon.
You seem like you've been wanting to ask me that.
What I want to ask is,
"Are you really not going to work with me?"
You guys are grown-ups, so I know you can take care of it on your own.
I'm not the type who'd cross the line on private matters.
Are you the one who wants to ask me something?
Tell me if you need my advice.
- Don't just march into a hotel. - Who's going to a hotel?
Well, hotels...
and restaurants too. He should include them in his business.
Why are you winking?
Is something in your eye? Should I blow it for you?
No.
Why are you blinking so much?
Gosh, I must be out of my mind!
Seo Yeon.
Did you sleep well?
Why are you here? I thought you left earlier.
Did you wait for me all along?
No, I came back to give you a ride home.
It'd be night or dawn when you wake up,
and it'd be dangerous for you to go home alone.
Forget it. I can go home alone.
You're going home at this hour because of me.
I want to take responsibility.
This isn't crossing any lines, is it?
I'll get the car ready.
Oh, right.
Did you think I was going to kill myself?
I mean, you posted a writing on your social media,
saying everything was in vain and that you'd give up.
It's just what I need right now.
My cure-all.
Right.
I like you, and I'll wait for you.
No, I'll try so that you'll grow to like me.
We won't meet again.
No. I need to go on seeing you. I'll go on liking you.
I heard you're sleeping on the floor at Ms. Lee's house.
I bet you tossed and turned. Get some rest.
I'm sorry I'm late.
- I'll wash your hair. Let's go. - Okay.
Did you wash your hair already?
What? Did I earlier?
When? Who washed your hair?
I don't know.
Where did you get these slippers?
I woke up and found them there.
Where did you get this magazine?
I found this when I woke up too.
Didn't I tell you not to come here?
Well, I just...
wanted to see her face when she was asleep.
Don't make her confused.
How cheap. Right, she's your mom.
And who made her that way in the first place?
Then what should've I done? I missed her.
I kept thinking about her and missed her.
I can tell that you don't believe me without that glare.
I'll leave.
Who's she?
Do you know her?
- I was just passing... - She's my sister.
She is?
If she's your sister, she's mine too.
Hang on, I should give our visitor something.
What do you like?
I'll cook for you.
Kimchi sujebi.
Why are you crying?
Are you very hungry?
I'll cook right away.
We just ate.
Let's go out for a walk.
Let's go.
Hurry up.
Who is it?
Sun.
Why are you here?
It bothered me that I came empty-handed the first time.
You didn't have to.
Thanks. Take a seat.
- Will coffee do? - Yes.
How big is this place?
- 56m². - 56m²?
Isn't it humid in the summer without a dehumidifier?
It'd be worse closer to the floor.
Is the bathroom well-ventilated?
Mold is bad for the respiratory system.
Oh, the first-floor cafe owner's a guy.
Does he come upstairs?
Be honest.
Are you here to check if it's safe for Seo Yeon?
Since you found out, I'll cross the line.
What?
Hey, what are you doing?
There's not enough space for another bed.
Shall I get you a queen-sized bed?
You can sleep together.
Why don't you just get us a bunk bed?
Can I?
It can be dangerous so let Seo Yeon sleep in the lower bunk.
Why don't you move in here?
Seo Yeon and I will stay at your place.
What?
That could be an option.
You have an illness.
Do you like her that much?
Yes.
Isn't this too hard?
I don't think she wants to open up to you.
Do you know when it was the worst?
When I denied my feelings...
and tried to push her away.
That was terrible. This is enjoyable.
Doing this is enjoyable?
Yes.
A bell's not a bell until someone rings it,
and a song isn't a song until it's sung.
I think love's the same.
It's not love until you give it to someone else.
Hiding it deep inside isn't love.
What's the occasion?
How did you know we'd buy fried chicken?
Chicken?
You didn't sleep at all last night. Aren't you tired?
I am but it's a good fatigue.
I'm doing what I want to so it's not too hard.
Sleep early tonight. You go to Mukho Port tomorrow.
If the kimchi sujebi chef keeps asking for a down payment,
should I give up?
Let's think of another way.
But her food tastes exactly like Mom's.
Is it that similar?
I should've tried it when you brought some.
Why not come with me? It's your day off.
Me too?
Won't I just get in your way?
Not at all.
You might get another idea once you try it.
Then shall I join you?
Give me the key. I'll drive while you sleep.
No, it's fine.
I'm doing this for our company.
We have a lot to do.
Our president needs to keep his energy level up.
Give me the address.
I must've left my phone at home. Wait here.
Get in.
Aren't you pushing the seat back too much?
- Pull it forward. - It's fine.
It won't be fine for Dae Young.
He's tired and will need the space to rest.
- Will this do? - A bit more.
- A bit more. - What?
A bit more.
Hey, how am I supposed to drive like this?
Gosh.
Send the AC a bit to the back.
Why is it on so high? Let's turn it down a bit.
You told me to send the cold air to the back for Dae Young.
When did I say it's for Dae Young?
It's too cold up front so I wanted it to circulate.
Let's adjust the temperature.
Why don't you sit in the back and let him lie on your lap?
It's not like that.
Drive in the shade.
We're on the highway.
Well?
It really tastes like my mom's.
- How is this possible? - Right?
I was so shocked at first.
Where's the owner?
Do you think she knows my mom?
Is she in the kitchen?
Hey.
What are you doing here?
I was...
Seo Yeon said you're having a hard time signing the contract,
so I wanted to help.
So you're doing what I did at the chogyetang restaurant...
to help?
- Yes. - This is true love.
Sun the Line Lover...
keeps crossing the line for Seo Yeon.
It's not like that.
I slept over at yours often and...
I felt bad for hiring you then losing...
the project and I felt bad, that's all.
I wouldn't cross the line so much and make a woman feel bad.
He's always like that when he lies.
He goes on and on.
He made endless excuses when he didn't do his homework.
Where's the owner?
She left a while ago.
She won't pick up.
I think she's avoiding me.
Why would she do that?
She wanted money from the start.
You can't win such people over this way.
Money's the only solution.
You should've told me sooner.
(Kimchi Sujebi)
I'll drive back to Seoul.
No, I slept well on the way and I feel great.
Drive safely.
I'll ride with Sun.
You must be exhausted from making kimchi today.
I saw you massaging your neck and arms earlier.
Are you worrying about me?
I don't want you to get sick while helping our business.
What? If I'm crossing the line,
I'll ride in Dae Young's car.
No, of course not. You're not crossing the line.
Gosh, I'm exhausted. Goodness.
My back hurts so much.
Goodness.
Gosh.
It seems like Seo Yeon isn't completely against being with Sun.
Right.
Sun's actions are sort of absurd,
but I'm jealous and amazed at his drive.
It's not easy to put yourself out there.
Why don't you date too then?
Isn't there anyone you like?
What?
A bell's not a bell until someone rings it,
and a song isn't a song until it's sung.
I think love's the same.
It's not love until you give it to someone else.
Hiding it deep inside...
isn't love.
Dae Young.
I have something to tell you.
Are you all right? What's wrong?
What is it? Are you looking for something?
Have you seen my ring?
What?
Where did I put it? Darn it.
Did I leave it in the restaurant's restroom?
I'm sorry about this, but I can't drag you back there.
It's all right. Just get going.
I got in contact with Sun. He's coming by soon.
Sorry.
What did he leave behind to drop you off like this?
I guess it's something important.
If that's the case, he should've been more careful.
Ms. Lee, are you sick?
What?
No, I'm tired, that's all.
I'll sleep in the back during our ride home.
(Kimchi sujebi)
Have you seen a ring here?
No, we didn't.
Excuse me.
Did you see a ring while clearing this table?
I'm not sure. I was so busy...
that I swept everything into the trash.
What are you doing here?
Is this because I didn't accept your offer?
I'm sorry. I'm just looking for...
Save it. You had better clean this up. All right?
How can you lose it?
I'm Nurse Lee Ji Woo's sister.
She has a terrible fever,
so I was hoping she could change shifts.
Right, thank you.
Eat the porridge I made and make sure to take your medicine.
I'll do the chores after work, so get some rest today.
All right?
We shouldn't have dragged you there yesterday.
You should've rested.
What? Did you spend the night here?
Did you come straight to the office?
What?
Oh, yes.
Did you find what you were looking for?
Why are you here so early?
I got up early because Ji Woo had a fever.
Is she sick?
Yes, she's aching all over. She has a terrible fever too.
Yesterday's trip must've taken a toll on her.
I almost forgot. I picked up your business cards.
Here.
(President Koo Dae Young)
(Let's Eat)
It's nice.
Hold on. Why don't you sound excited?
It says, "President Koo Dae Young".
Shouldn't you at least be more excited?
When I received my first business card as president,
I jumped and yelled like a crazy person...
on the streets of New York.
Is it because of the kimchi sujebi restaurant?
Let's forget about it and look for a new place.
The world's big and there are a lot of delicious restaurants.
President Koo, we can do this.
Thanks.
You two sisters give me strength.
Then let's talk shop.
Did you look at the draft from the app company?
I think it was a good decision to work directly with them.
I liked it. What about you?
I haven't seen it yet.
I'll take a look now.
Ji Woo, what are you doing out of bed?
I'm fine now.
It's fall now, so I'm cleaning my wardrobe.
Lying down has done nothing for my headache.
Who is it?
It's me.
You now come by anytime you can.
How did you know that I like these flowers?
I'm here to see how Ms. Lee's doing.
Here you go.
You didn't pick up earlier, so I called the hospital.
They told me you called in sick.
- Are you all right? - Yes, I'm good.
Thanks for this.
A nurse should take better care of herself.
Why don't you take some time off and get a checkup?
You seem gaunt lately.
(Packing Container Company)
Hello.
Already?
I'd be grateful if you could do it soon.
Yes.
Hey.
Are you trying hard to get with me?
What?
Are you trying to act indifferently now that I'm opening up to you?
Are you opening up to me?
Really?
I mean... Well...
Let me cross the line a little then.
Go in.
Bye.
He crossed the line only for a peck on the cheek?
My lips aren't that far away.
Isn't that Dae Young?
Why did you drink this much alone...
without laying your hands on the food at all?
Hey.
I'm glad you're here.
Let me use you as an excuse and drink some more soju.
Please give us one more glass and another bottle of soju.
Is your business not going well?
Things will be much tougher in the future.
It's not like you didn't see this coming.
I didn't expect...
that I'd forget.
What?
There was someone so precious to me.
But...
I lost her in an accident two years ago.
I never forgot about wearing our matching ring...
which was like our shared memories.
But I...
took it off my finger after some time.
I completely forgot about...
when I took it off and where I left it...
only after two years since the accident.
I'm so...
apologetic.
That's not something to be sorry about.
People can't help but forget about their past memories...
due to the limit of their brains.
That's why other means of storing memories have been developed.
Even the data stored in a disk gets volatilized...
after two years due to electrification.
In other words, stored data gets deleted.
What I'm trying to say is...
It may look awkward since I've never consoled anyone before.
It's not that you forgot about her on purpose.
You just happened to forget her as time passed by.
And it's natural that way.
So don't feel apologetic or blame yourself too much.
It's not your fault.
In the end, you can't go back in time.
You only have to move forward along with the flow of time.
That's the way it is.
Where did you get these men's shirts?
Maybe it was because Dae Young was busy,
but these shirts were hanging on the clothesline for a few days.
I've known you were tacky,
and now, you're acting like a woman during the Joseon Dynasty.
Are you ironing an outfit for your promoted husband or what?
What a devoted woman.
It's only ironing shirts, so don't go overboard.
Look who's going overboard. It's you who's doing such a thing.
Why don't you just express your feelings to him?
There you go again.
I'm telling you this for a reason.
Didn't you see how he wasn't wearing his ring?
At first, I thought he forgot to wear it by mistake,
but he hasn't been wearing it for days now.
You fool, you missed that, didn't you?
Think about it.
Dae Young must've gotten over it enough to...
It's not that he took it off. He lost it.
He left me on the street...
to look for his ring that day.
What?
Are you talking about...
what happened in Mukho Port?
Darn it.
What are you doing?
What is wrong with you?
He left you there at night because he wasn't over his ex.
So why are you doing this for him?
Stop it already. That's enough for your crush.
Let him live with his past for the rest of his life.
I'll find you a much better guy.
I'm fine.
Right now is...
better than my life before I met him again.
This isn't good at all.
You pity him, but what about yourself?
You've suffered enough because of me and Mom.
You should become happy now.
Dae Young.
- Did you leave work just now? - Yes.
You look very tired.
A little.
I ironed your shirts while I was doing mine.
I saw them hanging on the clothesline for days.
You didn't have to.
You're doing me favors every time.
I mean, I didn't move in next door for that.
How should I repay your kindness?
Is there anything you want to eat? I'll treat you.
No wonder you're the food blogger,
seeing how you're always willing to buy me food.
Then is there anything you need or want?
I'm well-off enough to buy what I need.
Then tell me whenever you're going through something...
or need my help. I'll resolve everything for you.
You shouldn't make such promises that rashly.
You'll regret it.
Why would I when it's for you?
Why? Are you going through something?
What is it?
I...
like you.
That's what troubles me.
What?
You have been my first love...
ever since I was 20.
Ji Woo, I...
I know that you have a girlfriend.
It's not like I want or expect something from you.
It's just how I feel.
You said I should tell whatever troubles me.
See? You shouldn't make such promises rashly.
Were you that troubled?
It's just... I keep so many things in my heart...
so I want to get at least one thing off of my heart.
Hey, don't make that serious face.
I won't stay up all night thinking of you, crying,
and not eating for days on end.
I have work and Mom.
There's so much on my mind.
In our 20s, love was everything...
and a huge problem.
I'm no longer that age.
I'm sorry if I made you feel bad,
but you are a tiny bit responsible too.
Live with that much, okay?
Where are you?
I just got home and I'm hungry. Let's eat.
I'm still at the hospital.
I can't join you. Sorry.
I don't want us to break up.
What do you mean?
We're friends.
Friends can be friends forever.
So let's never part.
Promise.
You're drunk over a few glasses of sake?
Okay. Let's never part.
Are you sick again?
Are you crying?
I'm 34 years old.
I thought it wouldn't hurt...
as much as it did when I was 20.
But even though I'm 34,
it hurts to be rejected.
What do you mean? How were you rejected?
I...
told Dae Young that...
I like him.
What?
Okay. Well done.
That's how you get over it.
You did all you could.
Why do I...
take everything Dae Young gives...
and make them grow?
First, Peanut,
then my feelings for him.
Hey, don't you do this to me too.
I know it was wrong of me.
What are you doing there?
I was waiting for you.
For me?
I need to apologize for something...
and get told off.
The offside you wanted to defend so badly.
I crossed it long ago.
The offside you wanted to defend so badly.
I crossed it long ago.
Let's meet in the park.
Do my eyes look puffy?
Do you want one?
Why didn't you tell me?
Seo Yeon told you about my girlfriend.
I thought it was wrong to show that...
I knew something you didn't even bring up.
I didn't tell you I like you because I knew.
Like I said,
I don't want us to...
I know.
Thanks a lot for pretending not to know until now.
And I'm sorry.
For hiding it.
I think...
I froze in time...
after that accident.
But after we met, little by little,
I got the courage to go forward.
That's why I started this business.
At this moment,
succeeding in this business is the most important.
I got your point already.
You don't have to reject me so long-windedly.
I'm not rejecting you.
Can you...
give me some time?
It might take longer than you think.
That's okay.
But it's not my fault if I find someone else...
in the meanwhile.
I told you.
I confessed so I wouldn't have to hold back anymore.
Thanks.
Enjoy your meal.
You helped me more than anyone,
so I wanted to treat you to something nutritious.
It suits someone embarking on a new business.
Gizzard is "jeoneo" in Korean, meaning "money fish"...
because it tastes so good and therefore sells well.
But today, you're having young gizzard.
Anyone who wanted to leave home will give up after tasting this.
People think gizzard comes into season in the fall,
but if you'll eat it raw with or without the bone,
it's best eaten in the summer.
Gizzard gains flavor as it grows bigger,
but it can be harder to eat without the bone.
Then it'll go best with doenjang.
That will suit the bony texture and flavor.
I like it best grilled.
The flavor...
is strongest when you eat the head and guts together.
There's nothing to discard.
How many experts are there?
Cut the commentary and let's eat.
These are young gizzards.
It's good.
It's so savory.
Thanks for treating us.
The texture's incredible.
This is good too.
That's nice and sour.
Is it good?
That's nice and sour.
Gosh. Where's the tissue?
Thank you.
Here you go.
It's tasty.
Dae Young even brought back Seo Yeon's appetite.
He's Mr. Let's Eat for sure.
This was a fantastic choice.
Why is it thanks to him that Seo Yeon's eating well?
I'm the one who boned the fish for her.
You're right. It's all due to your devotion.
Maybe we should call you Seo Yeon Comes First.
Why not?
Let's wrap this up then.
- How about a spicy stew? - And bibimbap.
Ma'am, can we get a stew and two bowls of rice?
A raw gizzard bibimbap is the perfect finale.
It's nice and sour.
Gosh, that's spicy.
It's good.
That's great.
- Isn't it good? - It is.
It's delicious.
What's this though?
You tell him.
It's also seafood.
(We thank Yoon Doo Joon for his work on Let's Eat...)
(and wish him the best during his time in the army.)
- Go, Let's Eat 3. - Go, Let's Eat 3!
- Bye! - Goodbye!
(Thank you for watching Let's Eat 3.)
