(Episode 36)
My gosh.
Aren't you the wife of KS Foodville's CEO?
You're the ladies from Haejun Construction and Geumga Trading.
Are you here for the cooking class?
Yes. Who knew I'd meet everyone here?
Right?
I was worried I wouldn't know anyone.
Thanks to you ladies, I won't be lonely.
I heard Director Oh from Areum Gallery would be here too.
Oh, no. I haven't visited the gallery in a while.
You two can catch up today.
Yes.
- It's been a while. - I know.
A CEO's wife and a director.
It looks like these women are all hotshots.
My gosh.
Oh, my. That's such a pretty apron.
Where did you get it?
I knew you'd like it. You have a good eye.
The designer in Cheongdam-dong,
Antoine Pierre, designed this. I placed a custom order with him.
My gosh. I knew it. No wonder it's so elegant.
It's gorgeous.
I see a new face.
Who is she?
Why? Is she someone you've never met before?
You see, I attend all sorts of social events and gatherings,
but I've never seen her before.
Really?
Hello.
It's nice to meet you all.
Welcome to Charlotte's cooking class.
I worked as a chef at Montmartre,
a five-star hotel in Paris.
I'm Chef Charlotte.
From now on,
we're going to make some elegant French dishes together.
Then I suggest everyone come up...
with a French name...
to dive right into the French vibes.
Let's start with the lady in front of me.
What do you want your French name to be?
I'm Emma.
Beautiful. What a beautiful name.
- Yes. - I'm...
Cammie.
Cammie! Beautiful. How pretty.
Shoot, I don't know any French names.
Next.
Oh, I haven't decided yet.
I see. I guess you haven't thought of a good name yet.
Then I'll ask you again in a bit.
Ma'am.
My name is Marie.
It's nice to meet you.
Very nice!
Your pronunciation is very good.
Great facial expressions. That was wonderful.
Thank you.
What is this? Why are they both going so overboard?
She was told to just say her name. Why is she rambling on?
I didn't bring an apron,
but I prepared this.
Why am I so tired today?
Why are you so surprised? Keep doing what you were doing.
You're on your lunch break anyway.
Well, are you here for coffee?
Why? Will you make me a cup of coffee?
Why not? I can definitely do that for our director.
"Our director?"
Is the money tree growing well?
As if it's been several days.
Plants can grow overnight.
If you saw a flower bud yesterday, it could be blooming today.
Even so, it needs some time.
For anything to grow and blossom.
Well, that's true.
Oh, I'm curious about something.
Why were you wearing the cat costume...
the day we first met?
I'm sure you didn't have a show at that hour.
Well...
I wanted to throw a surprise event for my boyfriend.
Your boyfriend?
Do you have a boyfriend?
No, not now. I was talking about my ex.
I see.
Are you sure he's your ex?
You aren't together anymore?
That's right. We broke up on bad terms.
I do not want to see that jerk again.
Is that so?
Right, there's no reason for you to see your ex-boyfriend again.
That's right.
But you went to the police station and found that heart.
When I saw it, I was so flustered.
I had prepared it for that jerk.
I see. It was for that jerk...
"I love you."
"I love you?"
Oh, you pressed it?
Yes, a bunch of times.
I was so embarrassed at the police station.
My gosh. Why did you press it? It's not even yours.
Well, I only pressed it because it started talking all of a sudden.
It kept saying "I love you" to me.
To you? No.
- That heart belongs to... - I know that too!
I know it wasn't meant for me.
Goodness. Why are you getting so angry?
I'm not angry now.
I'm happier than ever before right now.
Do you blush and pant when you're happy?
Yes. I have a unique way of expressing my emotions.
What?
He has a unique way of expressing his emotions?
What is he, a sociopath?
Why did I raise my voice at her?
I was the one who went there and got the heart.
I'm sure they met...
in Daehak-ro that night.
After that, he started talking about her past in a different manner.
Ms. Shin. Why are you here?
Oh, would you like some coffee?
No, I'm good.
Well, Eun Sung. Can we talk?
Sure.
I just wanted to ask you...
how you've been enjoying your job since it's been a while now.
Does anyone on the team make you feel left out?
Has anyone hurt your feelings?
Gosh, no. Not at all.
All my senior colleagues, including you,
have been taking such good care of me and helped me out a lot,
so I'm enjoying my job.
Really? So there's nothing stressing you out?
Anything I should be worried about as your manager?
Nothing at all.
I'm just worried that I haven't mastered my tasks yet.
Everything else is totally fine.
Thank you for telling me.
I like how open and honest you are.
Right, about last Friday. Did you meet Director Kang?
Pardon me? Director Kang?
He told me that he met you.
Oh, we happened to run into each other in Daehak-ro.
How did he get the wrong idea about your past?
He said he offended you big time...
and didn't know how to apologize to you.
He seemed very worried.
Director Kang said that to you?
Of course.
We talk about everything.
Like friends and like a couple.
I see.
Anyway, how did that happen?
How did he get such an absurd idea about you?
Am I not supposed to know?
Well, what happened was...
The day we first met,
I had a bit of a situation,
so I happened to be wearing a weird costume.
And he happened to receive a flyer from a place...
with girls wearing such costumes,
which resulted in such a misunderstanding.
That's what happened?
So it was a simple misunderstanding?
Jae Jun is looking for me.
If you're done, may I return to the office?
Yes. If you run into any problems while working,
don't hesitate to let me know.
Will do.
Thank you.
So, Yoo Eun Sung's past is not what he thought it was.
Now, there's nothing stopping him from making a move on Yoo Eun Sung.
The only safety barrier is now gone.
I get that he and Ms. Shin are seeing each other,
but I can't believe he told her everything.
Ratatouille is one of the most iconic French dishes.
French cuisine is sophisticated.
Precision is a given.
Never let your fingers hang loose.
First, cut every ingredient very carefully.
No, ma'am.
The zucchini pieces are too big.
You won't be able to experience the delicate taste of French cuisine.
Big or small, it won't taste any different.
How fussy.
It's perfect.
That looks perfect.
You are very meticulous...
and precise.
Thank you very much.
How well did she do?
I guess that woman used to live in France or something.
You heard her speak French earlier.
Come on. She probably said a few words she knew to look cool.
I doubt she used to live in France.
Ladies, come and look.
You should all see the beautiful job Marie has done.
Come on.
Ta-da.
- Look. - My gosh.
- Oh, my. - Did you see it?
- How beautiful. - My gosh.
Look at this.
Oh, my. It looks just like what they give you at restaurants.
- Right? - My gosh.
Thank you.
Ma'am.
Cut the ingredients like Marie did.
You should cut them in uniform sizes, like this.
You can't cut them however you want.
Goodness.
Unbelievable.
How could she embarrass me like that just because I cut them wrong?
It's not like I'm a chef.
I'm taking this class as a hobby.
My gosh. I must've left my phone in there.
Okay.
My gosh. Oh, no.
Oh, no.
Gosh, my coffee.
What should I do?
Gosh.
My, this public restroom...
is huge and spotlessly clean because it's at a hotel.
My gosh! Someone spilled coffee here.
Gosh, my goodness.
Oh, my goodness.
What are you doing?
Is this your bag?
Yes, this is my bag. My gosh, what is this?
Well, I came in and saw...
that someone had spilled coffee on it.
Are you sure you weren't the one who spilled it?
- Pardon me? - Didn't you spill it? This is...
You can't get this anywhere now, no matter how much money you have.
It's a limited-edition bag from Shai Lutton.
Shai Lutton or whatever it is. I swear, it wasn't me.
When I came in, it was already...
Whatever. You can play innocent all you want...
What?
You. Hold on. You're...
You...
Ma'am!
Why didn't you answer your phone?
It's an emergency. Your daughter got into an accident.
She's being transported to the ER now.
What? Sun Ju?
- My goodness. - You should hurry.
I swear, she's Sim Jung Ae.
Jung Ae!
I think it's her.
Yes.
Okay.
Ma'am.
Oh, Marie!
What's up?
- I want to ask you something. - Sure.
You know, the lady who was sitting across the hallway.
You said she was cutting things however she wanted.
Goodness. That was just a joke.
KS Foodville.
Ms. Sim Mi Jin. Why do you ask?
KS Foodville... Who?
Ms. Sim Mi Jin.
Oh, that lady's name is...
Sim Mi Jin? Not Sim Jung Ae?
That's right. Her name is Sim Mi Jin. Why?
It's nothing.
She looks like someone I know.
I see.
Anyway, is she the wife of KS Foodville's CEO?
That's right. The KS Foodville that everyone knows.
But are you sure that her name is Sim Mi Jin?
Could it be Sim Jung Ae? Perhaps, you're mistaken?
It's not like I've only known her for a year or two.
I've known her for at least ten years.
When I was in France,
KS Foodville expanded into the hotel franchise business.
She and her CEO husband don't know me personally,
but I know them.
Trust me on this. Her name is Sim Mi Jin.
Oh, I see.
Was I mistaken, then?
I swear, it was Sim Jung Ae.
Go on in.
Sun Ju, you're such a troublemaker.
You gave me such a scare.
Sit down.
Why is that my fault?
Blame the daughter of the Haejun Construction family...
for spreading false information.
You should've just stayed home. It's cold outside.
Why did you have to go for a bike ride?
That's why you fell while crossing the crosswalk,
and it turned into the rumor that you'd gotten into an accident.
Hae Jun always makes such a big fuss about everything.
If her finger bleeds from a small cut,
she'll say her aorta has been severed.
I didn't want to go to the ER, but she forced me to.
Forget it. Who can I blame?
It's my own daughter who always causes trouble.
I really did not cause trouble this time.
Anyway, did you enjoy the cooking class?
Yes. I saw many familiar faces and...
Oh, that's right. Ko Chun Young.
What? Who? "Ko Chun Young?"
Gosh, I don't have time for this.
I should track down Ko Chun Young at once.
My goodness.
"Ko Chun Young?" Who is Ko Chun Young?
Honey, where is Sun Ju?
- She's in her room. - I see.
Honey, get this.
Do you know who I saw at the hotel today?
What are you talking about?
I rushed home, thinking Sun Ju got into an accident.
You know there was no accident.
You must've heard all about it on your way home.
Anyway, who did you see...
that you seem so disturbed?
Ko Chun Young.
What? Ko Chun Young?
Yes.
Ko Chun Young is in my cooking class.
But she spilled coffee on my bag,
so we were talking,
but I heard Sun Ju had gotten into an accident. That troublemaker.
Gosh, what are you talking about? You're not making any sense.
Why would you suddenly meet Ko Chun Young in your cooking class?
I don't have time to explain.
- What? - I should call the hotel first.
- Where is it? Where did it go? - Honey.
I should call them.
- Is this the right number? - My goodness.
Who?
A woman who looks like Sim Jung Ae?
Yes, she looks so much like her.
I nearly had a heart attack.
So I asked the cooking instructor,
and she said her name was Sim Mi Jin, not Sim Jung Ae.
She's married to the CEO of KS Foodville.
KS Foodville?
The company that makes the lunchboxes and meal kits we get?
Yes, the KS Foodville that owns several restaurant franchises.
Are you saying Eun A's mother...
is now married to the CEO of a big company?
Have you not been listening?
Her name is Sim Mi Jin, not Sim Jung Ae.
No matter how hard she tries,
she could never marry a man who owns such a big company.
Well...
Right, it's practically impossible.
Unless she met her Prince Charming.
She can't be using a different name like me, right?
A different name?
I'm not Ko Chun Young at Royal Hotel.
When I'm there, I go by...
Yoon Ji Sook?
Are you sure her name is Yoon Ji Sook?
It's not Ko Chun Young?
I see.
All right.
See? She's not Ko Chun Young, right?
That's right.
Apparently, that woman's name is Yoon Ji Sook.
I knew it.
Thirty years has passed.
How could you recognize her right away?
Because it's her, Ko Chun Young.
The woman who stole my ex-husband...
and even took my children away from me.
She is my sworn enemy.
But the people at the hotel said it wasn't her.
That woman's name is Yoon Ji Sook, not Ko Chun Young.
It's so odd. She looked so much like Chun Young.
Maybe that woman...
changed her name too, just like I did.
What?
Just like how I changed my name from Sim Jung Ae to Sim Mi Jin.
You're talking about the five elements again?
Come on.
Your business has been thriving ever since I changed my name.
Your name has the wood element.
But "Jung Ae" has the metal element,
which will cut the wood instead of helping the tree grow.
You need the water element to grow the tree.
My goodness.
Yes, you were told to change your name,
so we paid a lot of money to a famous naming expert...
and got the name, Mi Jin, which supposedly has a lot of water.
Exactly. Maybe that woman went through something similar.
Only a handful of people know my real name, Jung Ae.
Only my old friends know that name.
That's because you're just too special.
Not many people change their names.
Besides,
they said her surname was Yoon, not Ko.
Right, that's true.
But she looked so much like Chun Young.
What?
You think she's seeing someone?
The woman who made you blush...
like a persimmon in autumn?
I'm not sure if he was her boyfriend,
but someone gave her a ride home at night.
Come on. Just because a man drove her home,
- you can't assume they're dating. - Come on.
I disagree.
You can offer a ride to a colleague going in the same direction,
but you wouldn't get out of the car and talk.
You said they had a serious conversation.
Well, maybe they were talking about work.
As if.
Do cops do that? Would you get out of the car...
to talk about work with your co-worker?
Well, I probably wouldn't.
See? You have the answer right there.
Don't think it can be an exception.
Let's think rationally.
My goodness. You said...
you two caught moles together.
Trust me. It was a date. Pink is in the air.
Really? You think it was a date? "Pink?" You mean, love?
- Yes. - Come on. No way.
"Pink?" But moles are brown. Were they catching pigs, not moles?
Oh, I heard you and my sister decided to become friends.
Yes. We went through a lot before we could reconcile,
so we'll be friends forever.
I hope you two can stop being friends at once.
My goodness.
- Hey. - What's with him, all of a sudden?
Oh, does he need to relieve himself?
Hey, how old are you?
Can you not think?
He was hoping to hold on to the rotten rope.
Did you have to hurt him like that?
My goodness.
What does he even know about dating?
He and I are both single.
Hey.
What are you mumbling to yourself about?
Hey, Eun A. Why did you decide to befriend the cafe owner?
What? What are you talking about all of a sudden?
Hey, don't hang out with him. Stop being friends with him at once.
Gosh, did you two fight? Did he upset you?
You need to be selective about who you become friends with.
Why would you befriend such a dense loser?
Min Guk may be a little dense,
but he's so innocent.
Innocent, my foot.
He pretends to be innocent,
but he totally hurt me today.
Gosh.
(Haha Chicken, Good Day for Coffee)
What's with him?
Why is he so hurt?
My gosh. Look who's here.
Aren't you the Haha Chicken owners' eldest daughter?
Hello.
My gosh.
You look much prettier in person.
You look like a doll.
I do hear that from time to time.
"From time to time?" Be honest. I bet you hear it every day.
Gosh, not that often...
Yes, I hear it every single day.
Come to the cafe often for a cup of coffee.
Since I'm your fan, your coffee will always be on the house.
What? On the house?
If you come on time,
I can also give you freshly baked bread.
My gosh. Min Guk's mother is amazing.
You're so generous.
What? "Mother?"
My gosh, yes.
I am your friend's mother.
Gosh, you're so pretty.
(Death Certificate)
I still find it so hard to believe.
Dong Gu is dead?
Should I tell Jung Ae?
Would this upset her even more?
Yes.
They were once married.
She should know.
(Haha Chicken)
Come to think of it...
The woman you saw at the flower shop near the dumpling place.
You said she looked like Sim Jung Ae.
Maybe that woman...
was Sim Mi Jin.
That's certainly possible.
That woman looked rich too.
Anyway, it's so odd.
How could she look so much like Jung Ae?
If you're that curious, go back to the hotel and look into it.
Come on. Her financial situation was very different in the past,
- so it probably isn't her, but... - Oh, right.
Do you have to keep using the name, Yoon Ji Sook, at the hotel?
Yes, Royal Hotel is an exclusive hotel.
It's a membership-based hotel,
so it can't be transferred to someone else.
If you don't take the classes, that's it.
Oh, I see.
Well, no one uses their real name in class anyway.
We all use French names.
I'm Marie.
"Marie?"
"Marie."
Did you get the name from gimmari?
My gosh, seriously?
How could you be inspired by gimmari to come up with a French name?
Are there French girl names such as Tteokbokki,
Twigim, and Sundae?
No.
You removed "gim" from "gimmari,"
so it should be Bokki, Gim, or Dae.
Should I say you're cute?
Or should I say you're annoying?
Hold on.
Thank you for calling Haha Chicken.
Oh, fried chicken?
Sure, we'll deliver it quickly. What's your address?
Oh!
I swear, she looked so much like Ko Chun Young.
Yoon Ji Sook?
Hi, Sun Ju.
I'm actually on my way to your place now. Yes.
Okay.
All right.
What is this?
"Death Certificate?"
(Death Certificate, Yoo Dong Gu)
"Yoo Dong Gu."
I'm dead?
(Unpredictable Family)
I guess it's someone with the same name as mine.
But we were born in the same year.
We have the exact same birthday.
Eun Sung, would you be interested in starring in an independent film?
An independent film?
It's game over now.
She'll hate you forever.
I didn't know it'd be so hurtful.
How are the other ladies there?
There's one lady who's been on my mind.
Is she really Ko Chun Young?
(Subtitles are provided by KOCOWA.)
