(Episode 50)
(Bobaejung)
We'll begin the competition between Kang Se Ran...
and Jung Da Jung for Bobaejung's new menu.
The theme of the competition is...
children.
Bobaejung's getting too old.
It could be because I, the owner, is getting old.
Whatever the reason for that, the children are our future.
Create a dish that captivates the children's taste buds.
That's the theme of the competition.
Can we make just anything that children might like?
There are conditions, of course.
The conditions are...
So Yo Han got off at the 11th floor again?
Yes.
(Wang Je Guk, Chairman)
Isn't W Investments on the 11th floor?
There are other offices too.
Including a bank's VIP lounge.
A lounge...
The ingredients are spinach, mushrooms, beans, and tofu.
These four must be the main ingredients,
and you're disqualified if it costs over ten dollars.
What? Ten dollars?
You can't cook anything with ten dollars when the cost of living is this high.
A restaurant isn't a charity shop.
We must make a profit to pay the staff and keep running.
Continue.
You have 90 minutes to prepare your dish.
Spinach and mushrooms are two foods that kids hate the most.
Do you want them to create a new dish that kids will like with that?
Those ingredients...
are very good for children's health.
A good cook must be able to make kids eat what they don't like.
You mean it can be any dish that children will like?
Yes.
You must follow the manager's rules.
We have just 90 minutes to make it.
How can we complete such a hard task in so little time?
We're testing your crisis management skills too.
Yes. Who deals better in the same situation...
will affect the score.
I won't give someone extra marks just because she's my granddaughter.
I'll judge impartially.
Does that mean you'll judge the dishes, Mother?
I just said I'd be impartial.
Who will judge the dishes will be kept a secret.
Now,
are you two prepared?
- Yes. - Yes.
I'll win and make Song Yi proud of her mom.
Jung Da Jung. Do you think I'll lose to you?
No way.
Then we'll begin the competition.
Ready. And cook.
(Kang Se Ran)
Why are all my spinach wilted?
You're smiling?
You did this, didn't you?
What are you on about?
Your spinach is fine but mine is wilted.
And it wasn't your doing?
It must be a coincidence.
You never had the best of luck.
Shall I show Madam Yoon the ingredients right now?
Go ahead.
Then Grandma and the staff will think...
you're using the ingredients as an excuse to give up.
Would I give up over this?
Don't get too excited.
I never give up and I'll never lose to the likes of you.
"The likes of me?"
Watch your place.
Why do you never play fair?
You trick and lie your way through everything.
Why don't you speak louder?
Shall I call Grandma and the staff for you?
Then you won't feel as bad about quitting.
- Shut your mouth. - You shut your mouth.
You're getting in my way.
What can I do with wilted spinach?
I can't even use it as a pizza topping.
Why must we even compete?
Does Grandma think Da Jung and I are equals?
Se Ran.
I got some great information.
I watched what Ms. Yang was up to.
She got two trays of the same ingredients and covered them with a cloth.
Then she put a name tag on top.
Did she?
I infused the ingredients with my victorious energy.
You'll win without a problem.
I will?
Yes, you will.
You should crush Da Jung while you can.
So she can't complain.
You bet I will.
She's like a weed that keeps growing back.
But you won't survive this time.
The only thing you can make with that is sauteed spinach.
As if kids would eat that.
You're useless.
I really need to focus.
Why are you taking your anger out on your sketchbook?
Goodness.
What are you doing here?
I came to hang out with a friend in case she was distracted.
You're my best friend who knows me best.
If there's anything you want to do, tell me and I'll let you do it.
What I want to do?
I wish there was something I wanted to do.
Then...
will you do what I want to do?
What's that?
Why do you look so anxious?
Why would I be anxious?
It's so obvious my daughter will win.
They still have an hour to go. You should wait in your room.
Yes. That's a good idea.
Shall I, then?
Who will judge the food? She won't even tell me.
Oh, gosh.
Shall I take this handbag?
Or shall I take this more colorful one?
Hey, Sang Chul.
Shouldn't you still be at work?
I came over during my lunch break.
Did you?
Sang Chul, how do you think I look?
Look. Don't you think Madam Yoon will fall in love with me?
She would. You are striking.
I got my looks from you.
My son's the best.
Do you think it's safe to go to Bobaejung when Da Jung's there?
What if she tells Madam Yoon you're her mother-in-law?
That can't be helped.
We can't keep it a secret forever.
Se Ran wanted to lie and say I'd never been married.
And she still hasn't introduced you to her grandma?
We're just wasting precious time.
We must do something.
Don't worry, son. I'll make it work for you.
It can't be easy to marry an heiress who'll inherit hundreds of millions.
So you need to stay strong as well, okay?
Okay. Good luck, Mom.
Thanks.
At the Chinese restaurant in Cebu,
I cooked the kids' menus until I got sick of it.
That experience actually came in handy.
I must cook something that kids...
can enjoy eating and tasting with healthy ingredients.
Then...
Excuse me.
What are you doing here?
Dear Madam In-law.
I came to meet your mother-in-law.
What got into you?
"Madam In-law?" Follow me right now.
I'm not sure if it's to your taste,
but accept this token of appreciation.
Did your son not fill you in yet?
Madam. We're meant to become in-laws.
Let's not take a detour when there's an easy shortcut.
Who will become in-laws?
I won't let your son marry my daughter, even if I die protesting the marriage.
Cheon Ae Ja.
Let's not turn this into a fight, shall we?
What if my mother-in-law were to realize your son got divorced?
She'd never approve of the marriage.
Don't get your hopes up and go home.
Would I have come here just to go home?
Sang Chul said he left with nothing because you made such a fuss.
I'll see Madam Yoon at all costs today.
Says who?
Ae Ja, you can't do this.
Let's be exact.
Se Ran was the one to seduce Sang Chul.
Shouldn't she take responsibility for making him divorce his wife?
That's the right thing to do.
What's the right thing to do?
As if you'd be here begging to let Se Ran...
marry your son if she weren't a rich heiress.
Ae Ja.
All moms give in to their kids eventually.
They love each other so much.
Let's just marry them off. Shall we?
Do you even know what Se Ran's doing?
What is she doing?
The star chef is in a cooking competition...
against your useless ex-daughter-in-law.
What? Against Da Jung?
I wonder how things are going.
For whom?
Ms. Jung?
Well...
- Hello. - Hello!
An Na.
Dad. Song Yi's here too.
Hello.
Hi, Song Yi. What are you all doing here?
- Welcome. - Hello.
My goodness. The judges are here.
- Hello. - Hello!
An Na and her classmates are the judges?
You have ten more minutes.
Finish up now so you have time to serve the judges.
Madam Yoon will do a final check.
Ms. Kang, you're first.
- The mushrooms? - Yes.
I turned them black so kids wouldn't know they were mushrooms.
It looks and feels like meat if you don't know better.
I made the noodles with spinach juice.
I like the idea and the food tastes good too.
What's this?
Wait. Meat made with beans?
It's quite popular as a meat substitute.
How did you come up with such a great idea?
Well done.
It's mushroom soup.
I mixed in ground spinach and spinach juice.
What's this?
Noodles made with dried tofu sheets.
It's a new kind of Korean cuisine.
It's nice.
Well done.
Serve your food on a tray.
Okay.
Oh, dear. It's time.
Anyway, Se Ran's doing something very important right now,
so go home for now.
No, I won't leave like this.
I insist on meeting Madam Yoon.
Han Ma Ri! Will you stop this?
My mother-in-law has no time for you today.
I'll arrange a meeting next time. I promise.
Go home for now, please.
Okay, then.
I can always come back.
But when I do, I will meet Madam Yoon then.
Okay.
Grandma!
You must all be hungry.
It's time for some nice food.
My gosh.
I can't do this.
I can handle anything but this.
Don't worry. I'm here today to help you...
- relieve stress. Trust me. - Goodness.
I'm not sure. How will this help me relieve stress?
My female staff said this is more fun than it looks,
and it's a stress-buster.
I even emptied my schedule to come here.
My gosh.
We might as well take some photos.
Doesn't it look fun?
How fun could taking a few photos be?
Oh, well.
Too bad.
I wanted to do something fun with you...
that you'd remember for a long time.
Okay, fine. Let's take some photos.
One, two.
Strike another pose.
Another pose? One, two.
- With the glasses. - With the glasses?
- One, two, three. - One, two.
They're ready.
That didn't take long at all.
- Which do you like? This is nice. - It's amazing.
(Bobaejung)
- Let's eat. - That's it.
- Here. - Careful.
Here you go.
You wouldn't be humiliated if you'd quit up front.
What a shame.
I feel bad for you.
I wonder how many will want your food.
I feel like crying for you already.
Don't you feel ashamed?
You messed with my ingredients...
and you say things like that?
Who said I messed with your ingredients?
That's nonsense.
Why do you always lie and play tricks?
I worry about the customers who eat your food...
if you cook with that attitude.
You're in no place to worry about me.
The moment I get reinstated, you'll lose your job.
Shouldn't you worry about how you'll feed Song Yi?
I can't believe you think you've won already.
But then, everyone's allowed to dream.
Once you lose your job,
you'll have to give up Song Yi.
Sang Chul will fight you for custody.
Stay away from my daughter.
She's none of your business.
Don't say that.
I'm about to become her stepmom.
How dare you mention Song Yi?
Why is it so frigid in here?
Give us the second dishes.
Good luck.
- It looks tasty. - Here you go.
Is it good?
(Poppi and Friends, Jjang and Ddol)
Hello, everyone.
Did you prefer Jjang and Ddol,
or did you enjoy Poppi and Friends?
Put your name tags into one box.
- Okay. - Can you do that?
- Yes! - Yes!
You first, Song Yi.
Mother. Se Ran's winning.
Be quiet.
We don't know until it's over.
We can't have any prejudices.
Jung Da Jung.
All your arrogance meant nothing.
What are you doing?
This is bean meat?
Do you think this is plant-based?
It looks like pork tenderloin to me.
It was made with beans.
My grandma checked herself.
I bet you served her actual bean meat,
but you served the kids pork. Am I wrong?
Don't you dare frame me.
My gosh. Se Ran.
What on earth happened? Oh, dear.
Jung Da Jung. Why did you push me like that?
Madam. Se Ran broke the rules.
She broke the rules?
No, Grandma.
Da Jung's framing me because she lost.
Don't, Jung Da Jung.
(Bobaejung)
- Thank you. - Thank you.
Let's go, kids. Let's go home.
It's so close.
It is. They're evenly matched.
I guess it pays to live a long time.
I can't believe women like that exist.
Other girls always ask me to buy them something,
and I assumed I had to pay.
But this time a woman paid for my wine.
It was a nice feeling.
How did it go, Mom?
What? You met Song Yi who almost blew your cover?
So you ran away?
Exactly.
The woman left without giving me her number.
- Did I just score? What's happening? - Okay, I'll...
Hey. Keep it down.
I can't hear who I'm talking to.
That darn punk.
I'll call you back.
Bye, Mom.
Did you just shout at me?
Is there anyone else?
Where are your manners?
Mr. Baek, you of all people are talking about manners?
Aren't you the one without manners?
You might even hit me.
Go ahead. Punch me.
You think nothing of your superior.
Hit me.
Why you...
My fist would love to make contact with your face.
I can knock you out in one go and would if it weren't for my promotion.
Darn you.
What did you just say?
Where are you going? Wang Ji Hoon.
What got into that fool?
I'll announce the results of the competition for our new dish.
Dad. I need to work here.
I need to provide for Song Yi.
Help me.
I have to win this and get rid of Jung Da Jung.
It was very close and the difference was just one vote.
Who won? My heart's racing. I can't wait to hear the result.
Yes, read out the result. It's getting to be too much.
I'll announce the result.
The winner is...
Madam Yoon, you do the honors.
With one more vote,
Kang Se Ran's Jjang and Ddol won.
Good for you, Se Ran!
I knew you'd win!
Well done, darling!
But Kang Se Ran is disqualified.
The winner of the competition is...
Jung Da Jung who made Poppi and Friends.
What?
Grandma.
What was that about?
You said Se Ran won, so why was she disqualified?
What did I say when I gave you the theme?
I said the main ingredients should be mushrooms, spinach, beans, and tofu.
But Se Ran used pork...
and lied about turning the beans into meat.
not only that, but her ingredients...
cost way more than ten dollars, much more than Da Jung's dish.
There were ample reasons to disqualify her.
It's not fair, Grandma.
I didn't mean to lie and say I used bean meat.
And the judges too. Everything was against me from the start.
Da Jung's daughter and Mr. Wang's daughter must've voted for Da Jung.
And I won by one vote despite all that.
So how could I lose?
I won't admit defeat.
I'll say it again.
The result of the competition is that Jung Da Jung won.
As promised,
I name Jung Da Jung as Bobaejung's vice CEO.
That's all.
Thank you.
(The Third Marriage)
Let's have lunch together, Vice CEO Jung.
Why are you staring at me? I feel embarrassed.
You're so dull-witted.
How could Jung Da Jung beat me?
Wang Ji Hoon. I must seduce him.
We keep crossing paths.
I don't need a drink.
This is Se Ran's. Why is it here?
Did Dad and Se Ran here...
