(Episode 44)
Eun Sung.
I missed you.
It's been only one day since we last saw each other.
You know how they say, "A day feels like a year," right?
I think this is the right moment to say that.
Director Kang.
Eun Sung.
- My goodness. - What?
Eun Sung.
Yes, Mom.
"Mom?"
Who is he?
Well, the thing is...
Who is this man?
Mother, let me introduce myself. I'm Kang Sun...
No!
He's a customer.
A customer?
Yes, he's here to get fried chicken.
Right? You're a customer.
Yes, I'd like one soy sauce chicken.
- With a beer. - Sure.
Oh, I see. He's a customer.
Didn't we meet in front of the restaurant earlier?
That's right. We kept going in the same direction.
Yes, that's right.
You see, our soy sauce chicken is delicious,
but our garlic chicken is very good too.
If you've never had it,
you have to try it next time.
Sure thing.
I plan to try everything on the menu about a hundred times.
My goodness!
Then you'll be our regular customer.
My gosh. You're so handsome.
Your face is literally glowing.
Oh, my goodness.
Thank you.
Gosh, I bet you have many women chasing you.
The moment I first saw you,
I knew you'd be good at seducing women.
No.
There's only one woman I want to seduce.
What? Why only seduce one woman?
You should seduce every woman you see.
Hey, what are you waiting for? Serve him the popcorn.
Oh, right.
Wait just one moment.
Sure.
Eun Sung.
You...
Mom, why?
That man...
Never let him go.
"Never let him go?"
That guy? Why?
The thing is, Mom... We are...
That man...
seems to...
really like fried chicken.
What? Chicken?
Yes.
He said he'd try out everything on the menu a hundred times.
You heard that too.
With that determination,
he can certainly help us boost our sales numbers.
Our sales numbers?
Regular customers are so important...
for small neighborhood-oriented businesses like ours.
He'll help us spread the word and gain more customers.
"Gain more customers?"
That's right.
Anyway, why did you come back, Mom?
Oh, right.
Put in some curry powder when you're making the batter.
It makes it more flavorful.
Come on. I know that much.
It's the key ingredient in our secret recipe.
My gosh. I didn't think you knew about it.
Oh, no. I'm running late. I have to go.
- Don't you worry. See you later. - I'm off.
- I have to go. - Okay.
(Haha Chicken)
Mister, enjoy your chicken.
- I will, Mother. - All right.
If you'd like more popcorn or salad,
just let my daughter know.
Okay, have a nice day.
You too.
- Bye! - Bye.
My gosh.
She totally scared me.
She barged in right at that moment.
I was so surprised.
Hold on.
(Haha Chicken)
Why did he call me "Mother" just now?
What?
Is that punk up to something?
(Haha Chicken)
Look at those two sitting so close together.
No, that can't be.
(Haha Chicken, Good Day for Coffee)
Jin Sil.
Can you have this dry-cleaned too?
Oh, whose is this?
It looks like a man's jacket.
Right. It's my friend's jacket.
Oh, the friend you met when you stormed out...
after having a big fight with Father?
You said he had come to accompany you for a drink...
and had given you his jacket, right?
Yes.
Although we have known each other only for a short time,
he's a very good friend.
But are you sure you two are just friends?
Even between friends,
if a man has no interest in her,
he would never give his jacket to her.
Rather, he would be careful to prevent her...
from getting the wrong idea.
Could there be any chance that he has feelings for you?
No, that's not the case. We're just friends.
How did you meet him?
Well...
Anyway, it's not what you think it is.
Oh, I see. Then he must be a very nice person.
By the way, what's troubling you?
I'm sure it's not about a one-sided crush, just like me.
I'm not sure.
I don't know...
why I feel so troubled and confused.
I can't figure it out.
No way. That can't be the case.
I got the CCTV footage and am on my way back. Yes.
I'll be back shortly. Okay. Bye.
Welcome.
Are you looking for something in particular?
Well... I saw the muffler that the customer who just left...
was wearing.
I'm wondering if I can get something like that.
Oh, this is the one she bought.
These two are selling the most.
- I see. - What do you think?
They look warm.
Is it a gift?
For your girlfriend?
Gosh, no. It's not for my girlfriend.
Then for your mother?
It's not for my mother either.
Then who is it for? A friend? A close female friend?
She's a friend of mine,
but we're not that close.
I'll take this one, please.
What is this? Did you get me a gift?
What? It's for a woman.
No way.
Is this for her? Your Cinderella?
I guess I'm right.
Hey, why did you buy a gift for a woman...
who likes another man?
How are you going to give it to her?
I know. That's exactly my point.
I don't even know why I bought this.
My goodness, you fool.
You fell so deeply for someone who has no feelings for you.
I just...
wanted her to keep herself warm.
Oh, no. I'm late.
Gosh. If only I hadn't spoken with that customer.
Hello.
That arrogant wench... Gosh.
I should hurry.
Oh, no.
Oh, hello, Marie.
There's an empty spot here.
Okay.
All right. Today,
let's make a Mediterranean fish stew...
called bouillabaisse.
Excuse me.
Can you cut the onions a little more carefully?
The onions hurt my eyes.
They're causing so much tears.
Hey.
It's only natural for onions to burn the eyes.
If it hurts that much,
you should move away from me.
How far could I be away from you?
I can't talk to her. She makes no sense.
Are you saying...
that I'm spewing nonsense or something?
My gosh. Are you spewing nonsense?
What?
You heard me.
Oh, my goodness.
Marie. Sophie.
What's going on?
Why are you arguing while cooking?
You two should know better than this.
Oh, my.
Did you really make this?
Of course, I did. I'm the only one working here now.
Who else would have made it?
What did you do to the chicken?
I didn't know this was such a great restaurant.
What are food critics doing?
They should give this place a rave review.
Is it that good?
Absolutely.
It tastes even better because I'm with you.
You should have some too.
Open your mouth.
You don't have to feed me. I can eat by myself.
Come on. My arm hurts.
Open.
You really don't have to do this.
Okay.
You look so pretty even when you're eating.
You must not be human.
You must be a fairy from up above.
Where are your wings?
Come on. Stop it.
- Oh, my. - Hey.
(Haha Chicken)
I see two lovebirds enjoying a romantic moment.
Well... Hello, Mr. Shin.
Oh, you must be the youngest child of the Haha Chicken family.
It's nice to meet you.
- Yes. It's nice to meet you too. - Yes.
Don't mind me...
and continue doing what you were doing.
Go on. I'm rooting for you.
Thank you.
Bye.
Wait, Mr. Shin. What do you mean by that?
Who is he?
He's not your grandfather, right?
No.
People keep coming in so abruptly.
They ruined the mood.
Well... I think you should go now.
What?
My dad will be back soon.
So let's call it a day.
I can't leave right now.
I still have a lot of chicken left.
I'll pack the leftover food for you.
(Haha Chicken)
Go on now.
Come on. Get going. Here you go.
(Haha Chicken)
This isn't fair. I'm a customer too.
And I'm going to be a regular here.
You're not a regular yet.
Besides, I won't charge you, so you're not even a customer.
Why wouldn't you charge me? You don't run a business like that.
No, that's okay.
Who would charge her boyfriend for food at her restaurant?
What did you call me? Your boyfriend?
Well... What else should I call you?
Just get going now.
Okay. I'll call you later.
Come on. Get going.
Bye.
(Good Day for Coffee)
Look at them. They're in the prime of their lives.
What are you talking about, Grandpa?
You should step up a little too, you brat.
Even a young lady younger than you is blooming a flower like that.
- Gosh. - Sorry? A flower?
It's too cold for flowers to bloom.
Right. If you could understand what I'm saying right away,
you wouldn't be working here right now.
How old are you?
Oh, right. Did you tell them the water will be off for an hour?
The mood in there was heated up so much,
that I couldn't deliver the message.
The water is not the issue in there.
It's burning hot in there.
What?
- I'm glad I was your partner. - That was fun.
Wasn't today's class so useful as always?
As we have Korean-style fish stew,
they have bouillabaisse in France.
What's the point of learning a useful recipe...
if the dish you make is not edible?
What do you mean by that, Marie?
Well, the instructor told us...
to taste the food that our partners made.
And my partner's food smelled unbearably fishy.
- It was bad. - Move aside.
What did you just say?
Are you finished?
No. I have more things to say, but I'll stop here...
because I don't think you'll ever get better at cooking.
Why do you keep getting on my nerves?
It's not like you make me feel at ease.
What?
Who are you to keep yapping at me like this?
Who do you think you are? You're so arrogant.
Do you want to mess with me?
My gosh!
- Oh, no. - Gosh!
Oh, no. My son bought me this apron.
Don't brag. I have a son too.
My son isn't your son!
You. You're dead meat.
- What's with this woman? - Hey!
Why are you being like this? Sophie! Marie!
- My gosh! - Oh, no!
Is Mom not back yet?
No, not yet.
She must be having a cup of tea after her class.
- I see. - Hey.
Have you had a chance to thank the young man...
who brought you home...
the day you got home drunk?
- A young man? - That's right.
A man brought me home?
Who? Was he good-looking?
What?
Gosh, you silly goose.
How could you say that?
It's a scary world out there.
You still have no idea who brought you home that day?
Goodness.
If only you weren't my daughter.
I shouldn't have let you in when you got home drunk that day.
Oh, dear.
Who was it?
I remember that I started drinking at Haha Chicken,
but I don't really remember anything after that.
(Good Day for Coffee)
I should ask the people at Haha Chicken.
I'll ask them who took me home that day.
- What? - Oh, you're...
Golden Hands.
You're Jung Wook's girlfriend.
"Jung Wook's girlfriend?" How did you know?
So you're the person...
who took me home that day?
Right, things happened that way.
But why? Why did you take me home?
You don't know who I am.
We met for the first time that day.
Exactly. It's a mystery to me too.
Why did I take Jung Wook's girlfriend home?
Let's not talk about Jung Wook.
He's seeing another girl,
so I dumped him.
Well...
Then you can't say you dumped him. You got dumped.
You were forced to give up on him.
Darn you...
My gosh. The guy at the chicken place betrayed me.
I came here thinking it was him.
I think he asked me for my address that day.
Yes, that's right.
He was the one who gave me your address,
which means he betrayed you at the end.
What? He betrayed me?
There's nothing I hate more than men who betray me.
I'll knock one off.
What? What do you mean?
I'll knock 1 off from the 10 cups of coffee.
For not betraying me...
and for taking me home.
Me?
What do you mean...
What?
Hey, why isn't your mom home yet?
I want to order some fried chicken when she gets home.
Fried chicken?
Haha's fried chicken is good.
"Haha's?" You mean, Haha Chicken?
You know that place? It's just a little north of here.
Of course, I know that place.
Sun Ju and I ordered fried chicken from that place once.
It's close to my place.
Yes, you live right there.
It's just fried chicken after all. How good could it be?
I should try it one day.
Yes, you have to.
It's very crispy and...
- Gosh, what's the matter? - Mom.
- Honey. - Jung Ae.
- Honey. - Honey, what happened?
Jung Ae, what happened to you? Did someone hit you or something?
Don't even get me started. This is all because of Ko Chun Young.
- What? - What? Ko Chun Young?
You know, Yoon Ji Sook.
The woman who looks like Ko Chun Young.
Who is Yoon Ji Sook? And who is Ko Chun Young?
What? Well, it's none of your business.
All right, let's go to the room. Go on in.
Oh, dear.
What?
That woman grabbed you by the hair?
That's right.
Just because I tore her apron a little.
She said her son bought her the apron...
and totally lashed out at me.
Gosh, Jung Ae.
You look like you lost some hair at the crown of your head.
What?
My gosh.
I've been forcing myself to eat black beans...
to keep my hair thick.
Why did you tear her apron to begin with?
If someone tore something your son bought for you,
you'd be fuming mad too.
If someone breaks something Sun Woo bought for you.
She rudely criticized my cooking first.
I made some fish stew,
and she said she couldn't eat it because it was too fishy.
She was like, "Why bother learning how to cook?" Gosh, it hurts.
Oh, boy.
Gosh.
Why are you all quiet?
If you're both silent now,
I can't help but feel awkward.
My goodness. You failed to get rid of the fishy smell again?
The same thing happened...
when you made soups with frozen pollack and fish roe.
Goodness. Fresh pollack soup too.
I just try to think that I'm a cat.
My gosh. What?
Whose side are you on?
That woman is at fault. Yoon Ji Sook.
My gosh.
Sim Mi Jin. I will teach her a serious lesson.
How dare she tear the apron Eun Hyuk bought for me?
Gosh, honey. Breathe.
You're about to shoot lasers out of your eyes.
Okay, so what?
You see, I never liked that woman.
Just as Jung Ae did, she suspected me...
and falsely accused me of something I didn't do.
Why did you have to say her food smelled fishy,
knowing that she wasn't a good cook?
She provoked me first.
I said hello to her,
but she didn't say hello back and had an arrogant look on her face.
When I was cutting onions, she said they were hurting her eyes...
and told me to be careful!
You'll keep seeing her in class though. My goodness.
Now, you'll both feel uncomfortable around each other.
Let her feel uncomfortable!
We never got along from the get-go.
I wonder if we were enemies in our past life.
We've been fighting since the day we met.
- Gosh, I'm so mad. - Goodness.
What should I do?
Oh, boy.
(Spread pesto or tomato sauce on the dough.)
Eun A, what are you doing?
I'm making pizza.
Pizza? I was going to cook some rice.
It's not for me. I'm making this for Ga Ram.
Ga Ram? That kid who lives across the street?
Right, you said you couldn't keep your promise to him.
You had to fill in for a colleague who got into an accident.
If only Director Lee had relayed my message to him.
I wanted to apologize first thing in the morning...
but had shows until now.
I just got home, and I'll now try to make up with him.
But I heard the cafe owner had some bad experience in the past.
That's why they're so upset with you.
Yes.
Things went totally wrong, unlike I had intended.
Anyway, how can I give this to them?
They're not picking up my calls.
They won't see me even if I show up at the cafe.
Eun A, how about we do this?
Do what?
Hello, thank you for calling Good Day for Coffee.
The address here is 38 Inja-ro 1-gil.
Could we have three sweet potato lattes delivered?
Three sweet potato lattes? Sure.
No problem. Thank you.
An apple tastes just as good the second time around.
Thank you for waiting.
You're invited to this pizza party.
It's Eun A.
Grandma!
(Ms. Shin Ha Young at Cheong Film)
Detective Yoo.
Oh, Ms. Shin.
Did you just get off work?
Yes.
It's getting late. Did you have to go somewhere?
A press preview for a new film.
I know one of the cast members,
so I went to the after-party.
I see.
It's nice to live in the same neighborhood.
We can run into each other like this.
Right?
It is nice to bump into you like this.
Oh, thank you for everything the other day.
You drank with me...
and gave me your clothes.
It's nothing.
If something happens to me,
you'll be my drinking buddy too.
Anyway, how come you look so weary?
You look like you haven't eaten anything all day.
Well...
I had to arrest a suspect and transport him,
so I didn't have time to eat.
My gosh. Food gives you the energy to keep going.
You should never skip meals.
Follow me.
Where are we going?
- Thank you. - You're welcome.
(Gukbap)
- Thank you. - Enjoy.
You brought me here to buy me this?
Try it.
I'm a regular here.
The broth is rich,
and they put in a lot of meat.
I thought you'd only eat things like spaghetti and salad.
You're a regular here?
Come on. I can't live on stuff like that.
I need to have hearty meals to get the energy I need.
Hold on. By the way, what is that?
Oh, this?
It looks like an item for women.
I was passing by a store and bought this.
Is it for me?
You seemed cold when we met last time.
What's wrong?
You don't like it?
Is it dowdy?
Shall I exchange it for something else?
If you tell me the style you want, I will...
I can't accept this.
What are your feelings?
Sorry?
What are the feelings you have for me?
Are we...
just friends?
(Unpredictable Family)
Son.
Mom, this lady is an acquaintance of mine.
The two of you...
know each other?
She asked me if I had romantic feelings for her.
Then I wouldn't be comfortable around you anymore.
Because she likes someone else.
If they find out that we're together,
we all might become uncomfortable working together.
They don't even try to hide it now.
Do you think I'll just sit back and watch you two become a couple?
What? Firing Ms. Yoo Eun Sung?
