What are you two doing?
Oh, Mom.
Hi, Mom.
This man. Isn't he the future regular...
of our store from the other day?
Hello, Mother.
"Mother?"
Eun Sung.
Is he really a customer?
Mom, the thing is...
Both of you, follow me.
This way.
Now!
- Come on. - Sure.
(Haha Chicken)
Mom, Dad. Will you say something?
You've been staring at him for minutes now.
So this guy is...
your boyfriend?
Well...
A director from the movie company you work at?
Yes.
Mother, Father.
I'm producing a movie titled "Hidden Memory."
Is he...
that director from Hollywood?
The one who somewhat looks down on you...
and meddles with your business as if he's concerned.
Pardon?
Me?
Dad, that's in the past.
So,
are both your parents alive?
Yes, they're alive and well.
Do you have any siblings?
I have one younger sister.
That sounds like a harmonious family.
Yes, we're a happy family.
Mom.
- Dad. - So how serious are you...
with Eun Sung?
Pardon? As in...
So do you have the intention...
to marry Eun Sung?
Mom! Why would you bring marriage up?
We've just started dating. Stop this already!
How long doesn't matter.
We need to know how serious he's about you...
and what his plan for the future of the two of you is.
Well... I...
You should leave now. Get up.
- Why... - Hey.
I'll invite him again later to introduce him to you formally.
We have to go to work early tomorrow. Okay?
- Wait. Since he's here, we can... - Come on. Get going now.
- How old are you? - My goodness.
- But... - Just come out.
- Gosh. - Stay and have some chicken.
I heard you planned to try all of our dishes a hundred times.
Right.
If you're not very busy, stay and have some chicken.
Which one did he have last time? Oh, it was soy sauce chicken.
- Come on in. - Try garlic fried chicken today.
- Then I'll stay... - No. Let's eat together next time.
He has some work to do at home. Right?
Then I'll see you again soon, Mother and Father.
Make sure to come back.
I'll make fried chicken extra tasty for you.
- Okay? - Yes.
All right, then. Come to our house next time.
If you prefer chicken soup to fried chicken,
- I'll make chicken soup for you. - Sounds great.
Okay. Then let's get going.
Mom, I'll see him off.
- Okay. - Goodbye.
- Bye. - I'll see you again soon.
- See you soon. - Okay. Bye.
When I first saw him,
I thought many girls would be smitten by him.
Oh, my. I didn't know Eun Sung would be the one to fall for him.
You think he's attractive?
- Yes. - Really?
I don't think so.
To me, he seemed just lanky.
You're wrong.
Is that so?
You must've been taken aback.
It's okay. I was a little surprised,
but I was glad to meet your parents.
When I met your mother last time,
I pretended I was a customer, which I felt bad about.
Right. I wasn't planning to keep it from them forever.
I mean, everyone in my family is so quick at catching on things,
so I can't really keep any secrets from them.
Then how about I tell my parents as well?
That I have a girlfriend.
Goodness, no. I'm not ready yet.
I had no choice because my mom saw us together...
twice, not just once.
Hold on. You've met my mother once.
In the emergency room.
- It'll be your second time... - Stop.
Let's take our time to decide when I should meet your parents.
Well... You should go now.
But I'm hungry.
Maybe I should've stayed for fried chicken.
It was tasty.
You will have many chances to have our fried chicken.
So go home now.
Why do you keep telling me to go? It hurts my feelings.
Go home, sweetie.
My arm hurts.
You drive me crazy.
Let's go.
I'm impressed by Eun Sung. Aren't you?
Maybe it's because she's my daughter.
She has good taste in men.
Do you like that director?
Isn't he a good catch?
He's handsome and tall. And he has a good job.
He seemed very elegant.
I think he's from quite a wealthy family.
I approve of him, for now.
We can't approve of him yet.
We need to know more about him.
Some men look nice on the outside, but horrible on the inside.
Look at you, getting all jealous.
Are you upset, feeling like he's taking your daughter away from you?
Don't be ridiculous.
It's not like they're getting married. They just started dating.
Oh, really? Then why did you ask him about...
how serious he is with Eun Sung?
Didn't you want to know if he wanted to marry her?
No.
Just as you said,
I wanted to know how serious he was about Eun Sung.
Oh, is that right?
But do you realize how funny your face looks right now?
How do I look?
You look like a man whose daughter is getting married tomorrow.
Thinking about walking his daughter down the aisle,
he's already choked with emotion. That's how you look.
I said I wasn't upset.
Why do you keep exaggerating?
A donation?
Yes. I wasn't the one who donated the food.
The CEO made the donation in the name of Cheong Film.
All I did was distribute the food, but I felt rewarded.
It was wrong of you to place the wrong order.
But it eventually led to the donation, which was a good deed.
One of the homeless people thanked me for the bread and coffee.
I felt ashamed, to be honest.
If you felt ashamed, that means you regretted what you had done.
And you said you had apologized to your colleague as well.
So it's okay.
I owe it all to you.
You told me that apologizing to her...
would help me keep my pride.
It's easy to say, you know.
But it's hard to put it into action.
You helped yourself keep your pride, Ha Young.
You're always so modest.
I think that's all I have to report to you. I should go now.
Great-auntie Ha Young, come and have some fruit.
Okay. Thank you, Ga Ram.
Why?
Great-auntie Ha Young, are you happy?
What?
You look happy. That's why I asked.
Unlike how you looked when you yelled at me last time,
you seem to be in a good mood now.
And you don't look scary either.
Seeing you in a good mood...
makes me happy.
Why are you having fruit before dinner?
You said you wouldn't have dinner.
Father will have fried chicken with his friends at the dance academy.
And Ga Ram will go to the cafe to have some sandwiches.
That's right. The show host said she was making sandwiches for me.
I guess you guys get along well with the chicken place family now.
I heard that the show host broke her promise.
But it seems they became closer after making up.
Now that we're getting along well with that family,
I hope Ha Young will become friends with them, just as we did.
Ha Young.
The cop in that family rejected you.
What? He rejected me?
I was rejected by a cop?
Yes. I offered to set him up with you.
But he refused flat out.
Gosh. I don't understand him.
Why can't he get over that sly fox...
who keeps giving him false hope and not reciprocating his feelings?
A sly fox?
Who is she?
There's a woman whom the cop has a crush on.
She holds the cop's heart tightly with her irresistible charms.
Hold on a second.
Why did you try to set me up with a man...
who had feelings for another woman?
You didn't even ask me how I felt.
Why do you think? It's because he has a good heart...
and a good appearance.
Father thinks he's a good match for you, Ha Young.
He said that a man with a big heart...
and a warm personality would be a perfect match for you.
That's right.
Let me find the right man for me.
Since when did you care so much about me, Father?
Why did you try to set me up with a man I didn't even know...
just because you liked him?
Gosh, that brat.
Ga Ram, here you go.
Ga Ram, eat up.
(Haha Chicken, Good Day for Coffee)
Welcome.
Who are you?
Who's asking?
Oh, I'm Min Guk's friend.
Are you a part-timer?
Well... What would you like? I'll take your order over there.
I'm not here for coffee.
What? You came to a cafe, but won't drink coffee?
Then order some tea instead.
We have citrus tea, Earl Grey tea, chamomile tea,
and many other types of tea that are not on the menu.
I'm here to meet Min Guk and Ga Ram,
not to drink tea, just as I told you.
Min Guk is the owner of this cafe.
And I don't know who Ga Ram is.
But customers at a cafe should order one drink per person...
and shouldn't stay for any longer than two hours.
Don't you know that's a basic etiquette these days?
Like I said, I'm not a customer, but the owner's friend.
Besides, you're not the owner.
I'm not the owner, but I work with the mindset of an owner...
as if I were running this cafe.
So I'm planning to make sure rude customers won't come back.
What did you say?
"Rude customers?"
Yes. I'll say what Mr. Shin can't because he's too nice.
For example, "You came to a cafe, so order a cup of coffee."
"Don't ask for free coffee because the owner is your friend."
"We're not running a charity here."
How dare you?
I have never asked for free coffee.
Besides, what do you know about my relationship with Min Guk?
So just order a cup of coffee.
Don't use your friendship as an excuse...
and be reasonable and fair.
Are you messing with me?
Even if I order coffee, I won't let you take my order.
- Eun A. - Hey, Eun A. You're here.
Why... What's going on?
(Good Day for Coffee)
Let me get this straight.
You two argued whether or not she should order a drink?
Of course. Profit is the purpose of a business.
My dad would fire her without even hesitating.
I'm the one who should be saying that.
Kindness is the key to success in a business.
If I were you, I would've fired her long ago.
Who are you to tell him what to do?
Being his friend doesn't give you the absolute power.
Does being a part-timer make you an absolute monarch?
Who are you to tell him what to do?
Stop it, both of you.
Stop arguing. It's not that big of a deal.
It is a big deal, ma'am.
It's directly related to sales.
I wasn't meaning to take up the space for long.
I was going to leave only after giving him his meal box.
You say you came to give a meal box,
but you're wearing full makeup late at night.
It's not late at night. It's not even eight!
This is enough.
I'm already feeling troubled, so don't add more to it.
Let's please keep things peaceful.
Amicably without fighting.
Right, peace.
To keep the peace, we must be clear on certain things.
Look who's talking.
We must decide what must be decided.
Knock it off already.
And I'm the owner of this cafe.
Besides, the two of you are... You're just a friend,
and you're just a part-timer.
- Dad. - Hey.
When did you come home?
Well, 30 minutes ago.
Were you sleeping?
Yes, I fell asleep.
- Dad. - Look.
Well,
when did you start dating that movie director?
Not long ago.
But I had feelings for him for quite some time.
I didn't know that I had,
but I realized it recently during the field survey.
And thanks to what you told me,
we learned that the feelings were mutual.
What did I tell you?
That love takes courage.
The courage to express it...
when you love or miss someone.
Is he good to you?
Of course. He adores me.
Most of all, he's of help to me.
He helps me be a better person at any time.
My daughter grew up and made a boyfriend before I knew it.
Dad, he isn't my first boyfriend.
I dated a few before him.
What, a few?
Goodness, I see you've been popular.
Of course. I'm your daughter after all.
Anyway, keep it from Eun Hyuk and Eun A for now.
I want to tell them when it becomes more certain.
Okay.
I'll tell your mom to keep it for the time being.
Dad, thank you.
I'll be better to you too.
I have your permission to date him, right?
Yes.
My dear,
like it says online,
be a sweet couple with him.
What is this sound?
Is it a dog crying or something?
What happened to your eyes?
Did you cry?
What?
Gosh, as if.
Well, I couldn't sleep.
Why couldn't you sleep?
The thing is,
I watched videos.
I had to catch up with a drama I missed.
Was it a melodrama or something?
Did someone have a terminal disease there?
What terminal disease?
Your dad cried all night.
At first, I wondered if a pet dog was sick...
or a stray cat was hungry.
But no. Next to me, your father kept...
What...
So you cried, Dad.
That's why your eyes are puffy.
Was the drama that sad?
What?
Well, it was about love and a breakup.
I could empathize so much with the one who lost his love.
He devoted his entire life to loving her,
but in an instant, some random guy showed up and took her.
But you know,
isn't love bound to happen in an instant?
Emotions may...
grow deeper as time passes,
but you may fall in love with someone in a split second.
No wonder you kids don't know what love is.
Its weight and devotion.
This is too salty!
Oh, no.
He says the soup is salty.
The soup is salty.
This is the sales report...
on the branches in Inja-dong.
I see.
Let me see.
"There are a lot of similar stores..."
"with fierce competition,"
"so it's not easy to target a consumer age group."
What a paper plan.
Anyone can say this.
Shall I tell them to research and report again?
Forget it.
I better go out and check the stores myself.
Adjust my schedule for an inspection this afternoon.
Yes, sir.
Gosh.
Hi, Kyung Mi.
Me? No, I have no plans today.
What, my house?
After an hour?
I was craving fried chicken and beer anyway.
Okay, I'll order some.
What's gotten into her?
Hello, this is Haha Chicken.
This is Unit 604 Building 108 of Hyewon Apartments.
I'd like to have garlic fried chicken, cheese balls,
and 2,000cc of draft beer...
delivered in an hour.
Sure thing. I'll have them delivered in time.
Bye.
Eun Sung, Ha Young. The CEO wants to see you.
You've probably noticed it,
but I want to let the coffee truck incident slide.
But I need Ms. Yoo's consent to do that.
Are you really okay even if we don't reveal...
who made the mistake?
Yes, I've already given you my answer to that.
Well...
Ms. Shin, will you never make the same mistake?
Right.
I promise the same thing will never happen.
Good.
Now we have the justification to keep Ms. Yoo in the company.
Let's forget what happened in the past...
and race again to make a good movie.
Ms. Shin, you'll have your pay cut down...
regardless of Ms. Yoo's decision.
Yes, sir.
I'm not going to thank you since it wasn't my request.
I didn't expect your appreciation when I made that decision anyway.
I'll no longer feel burdened with you.
Okay, I'll let it slide for good.
That's the way for all of us to move on.
Should I make a call or not?
Gosh, this is not even worth pondering.
Now that I decided to look into it...
Right.
Hello?
Ms. Shin.
Yes, this is Shin Ha Young. Who may you be?
I'm Director Kang Sun Woo's mother.
My gosh, Mother.
It's nothing much.
I said I'd treat you to a meal...
for visiting Sun Woo at the hospital.
If you have time today, why don't we have dinner?
I'm taking the afternoon off today.
You are? Why all of a sudden?
An important appointment came up.
An important appointment?
All of a sudden? Such a thing comes up without notice?
Beats me.
I was waiting for the call,
but I didn't know she'd call me today.
Have a good day, you all.
What on earth? She seems hyper.
Is she off to meet a guy?
I'm done with the night shift.
The briefing material?
It's in my drawer.
Okay.
Oh, hello.
Hello, detective. Are you here to have coffee?
Yes. Mr. Shin's coffee is good, you know.
He must be happy.
Min Guk and the part-timer went to make a delivery.
So he's alone right now.
I bought him his favorite roasted sweet potatoes.
Join him.
That's great. Thank you.
Then I'll see you around.
- See you. Go home safely. - Bye.
That jacket looks just like mine.
Mr. Shin.
Hey. What a pleasant surprise.
I was brewing coffee. I'll give you a cup.
Yes. Thank you.
- Here you go. - Nice.
Oh, my.
I don't know much about coffee,
but it smells so good and has a rich taste.
It's called Panama Geisha.
We started to use these beans...
as Min Guk changed our supplier to one that sold specialty coffee.
It tastes just amazing, right?
That's why people call this the deity's coffee.
No wonder it has a deeply rich and clean taste.
By the way,
I thought about the woman in your heart,
and I concluded that she's not a very good person.
I want to give you a piece of advice as your friend.
It's time for you to let go of that sly fox...
who's in your heart. That's my advice for you.
Why do you say that every time you see me?
You know why. It's because I love you.
And honestly, you rejecting my daughter because of her...
hurt my pride.
Come on. I never rejected your daughter.
And the woman I like is not a sly fox.
She's right-minded and warmhearted.
If she's right-minded and warmhearted,
why can't she see how great you are?
I bet she's a thousand-year-old fox with nine tails.
I'll teach that sly fox a serious lesson when I see her.
How dare she toy with a man with him in the palm of her hand?
(Good Day for Coffee)
I'm coming home to change my clothes...
because I have an important appointment in the evening.
Oh, did you have my black suit dry-cleaned?
Yes. I just picked it up and hung it in your room.
Where are you now?
I'm in front of the cafe.
Min Guk said he had good coffee,
so I'll bring some as a gift.
She doesn't toy with me.
It's just that I have a one-sided crush on her.
Exactly. That's why you should meet my daughter.
Just give it a chance and meet her. I'll show you her photo.
Here. Look how pretty she is.
No. That's okay.
If you keep telling me to meet her,
I'll be uncomfortable coming here.
Oh, gosh.
Father.
Hey, Ha Young.
"Ha Young?"
- I see that you have a customer. - Yes.
This voice is...
Ha Young.
What? Detective Yoo... What are you doing here?
I live close to this neighborhood,
but I've never come here before.
But it doesn't seem like such a sought-after location.
As I told you before,
there are many local businesses with a long history in the area.
Right. Let's go and check out the places...
to see how they're running their businesses.
(Haha Chicken)
I'm from Haha Chicken. I left the food in front of your door.
Enjoy the food.
Soju-beer cocktail goes best with fried chicken.
But I didn't know I had no soju at home.
What?
Could he be Yoo Dong Gu?
Wait. That can't be.
What was I thinking?
Yoo Dong Gu is dead.
But...
How come he looked so much like Dong Gu?
Which way is the store...
where we'll open up a new branch of KS Noodles?
It's very close to where we are now.
But apparently, the store owner said he would never leave.
Really? Gosh. Nothing is easy.
Neither finding a person nor securing a store.
Once we reach Yoo Dong Gu's friend who has made contact with him,
- even right now, we can... - Right.
Go ahead.
Hello?
What?
Okay. I see.
- Sir. - Yes?
They found Yoo Dong Gu.
What? They found Yoo Dong Gu?
Yes. Yoo Dong Gu lives here in Inja-dong.
He runs a fried chicken restaurant.
A fried chicken restaurant?
I need Kang Sun Woo...
to make my life perfect.
Ed Williams from Star Pictures will come to Korea...
to promote the movie produced by his company.
What are the odds?
I can't believe you are...
May I speak to Mr. Yoo Dong Gu?
This is he.
Honey, if you found Eun A and Eun Hyuk,
- how would you feel? - What?
