(Episode 22)
7 tables and 15 customers in total.
That was all the customers we had today.
My guys went over to the hotel to spy earlier.
The place was swarming with customers.
If this was boxing,
it's like they knocked us down...
in round one.
But it wasn't a KO.
Even though we only had 15 customers,
all the dishes were completely...
empty, Chil Seong.
That's more honest than words.
It means they were delicious.
Those empty plates will...
gather more customers...
tomorrow and the day after tomorrow.
Poong.
Can't you just be satisfied with running a restaurant?
Do you really need to get revenge?
What are you saying?
Of course I have to.
I'm afraid...
you'll keep being unhappy.
Are you telling me to give up?
How can you say that to me?
Why am I here? Why did I become like this?
Just because I threw a knife at Seung Ryong,
you want me to forget about it?
- Hey. - Until...
I get my revenge,
I won't date, love, or get married.
You crazy idiot.
Do you want to end up like me?
Why would you put it off?
You should only put off things you don't want to do.
Revenge isn't a good thing.
Love and marriage are good things you shouldn't put off.
Idiot.
Get up.
No.
What kind of...
grudge did you leave behind there?
Get up.
- Let's go. - Where?
Where?
Gosh.
Aren't you going home?
By the way,
why were you late this morning?
I have...
something to discuss with you.
Is everyone gone?
Yes, they're gone.
Sae Woo, you should sit down too.
This place can barely pay me.
But that place is offering me 10,000 per month.
Of course I'm shaken up.
If I work at the hotel,
I can pay much more rent.
You have to go to the hotel.
They're offering you 10,000 dollars a month.
No. What about Chef Poong?
Without you, the kitchen here can't operate.
You know Chef Poong can't do the Cutting Part too.
Even if they pay you a lot,
this is betrayal.
The restaurant can't run without you.
- What do you think? - Me?
I...
I'm not sure.
You guys are so mean.
We barely served a few tables today.
We're at a huge loss. If you leave,
if you go to...
that hotel where Chef Poong wants to get revenge on,
he will never be able to trust anyone anymore.
Does he need to be betrayed again at this new restaurant?
Don't you think it's too cruel?
Let's not do this even if we don't have money. Mom.
Seol Ja. Geok Jeong.
You like Chef Poong, don't you?
No!
You really don't?
I really don't.
You haven't even signed the divorce papers yet.
Of course you don't like him. You shouldn't.
I already signed the papers.
- What? - Sae Woo.
Is O Jik back?
I don't know.
If you like Chef Poong by any chance,
Seol Ja, Geok Jeong, and I...
will all quit.
I'll make Seol Ja leave this place.
You can't work here either.
I'd rather steal.
Let's just live with your dad in prison.
That's better.
I'll take that as...
Ms. Jin telling me to go to the hotel.
Seol Ja.
I heard you had no customers.
You tried to compete with us,
but you lost so easily.
Go take it out first.
I forgot something here.
I will use my knife tomorrow.
You should give up already.
Hey.
If he's going to get revenge,
he should do it right with his own tool.
Let's go.
Why are they doing that?
That gangster is...
reminding us to not touch his restaurant.
Poong is here to brag that he isn't alone.
Why did you want to take this out?
I was afraid you might get arrested.
I heard you stuck a knife in a wall.
I thought you had to remove it yourself quickly.
That knife is evidence.
If they have that, you can't avoid getting arrested.
I've been to jail three times.
I'm an expert in this area.
You got scared.
You don't know nothing about revenge.
If you leave that there, they don't get hurt,
but you do.
You shouldn't leave something like that behind.
Knives are scary, aren't they?
Poong, you're so ignorant.
Let's go.
Darn.
Welcome. I'm glad you made this decision.
Come work for me.
Where are you going, Ms. Chae?
Get out of the way.
Don't interfere with my Cutting Part's career.
Why are you doing this?
Why are you hesitating?
I...
I'm torn between people and money.
Money? How much do you need?
It's 10,000 dollars.
Her knife is worth that much.
I'm in a desperate situation.
I need money.
I'll give you 10,000 dollars.
I'll give it to you...
even if I go bankrupt.
Chef, I know what the situation is like for you. Don't do that.
Please, Seol Ja.
Their kitchen will get better if you join them.
But our kitchen...
can't do anything without you.
That's how lousy their kitchen is.
They'll break down just because one Cutting Part is gone.
Why are you still thinking? Come with me, Seol Ja.
- Gosh. - Come on.
My goodness!
I don't know anymore.
- Gosh. - Hey.
Is he crazy?
Not today.
Not tomorrow, nor the day after.
You can't. I won't allow it.
I can't do anything without you.
What are you doing? Put me down.
Gosh...
I can't give you 10,000 dollars right away.
All I have right now are my two arms.
I only have these arms and my strength.
My arms are just as strong...
as Master Wang's money.
I won't be held responsible if your arms dislocate.
(Hungry Wok)
Put me down now.
- Put me down. - No.
- Seol Ja. - What happened?
I'll go get changed.
Gosh.
(Hungry Wok)
We're off.
See you tomorrow.
See you tomorrow, Ms. Chae.
Tomorrow.
Bye, Ms. Chae.
(Hungry Wok)
Did Ms. Chae...
say anything?
Say what? Right, she thought you were cool at first.
She called you manly,
sincere,
and honest.
She really did.
Am I wrong?
Was that the first impression I got?
Sorry, I better go.
I'm confused. Bye.
Seol Ja.
It has been a dream of mine to be a Fire Part...
alongside a Cutting Part like you.
If it's with you, I'm confident we can make dishes...
that will satisfy both our customers and the kitchen staff.
Please don't go.
Okay.
Here's the dough.
I Man.
Chef.
Okay. Good to go!
- Good to go! - Good to go!
Dong Sik, Chi Su, and Gang Ho. Come here.
The shell of the tangbao...
should be transparent.
You should be able to see the broth inside.
The folds on the dumpling...
work like a spring.
They allow it to stay chewy without breaking.
Count the number of folds.
21.
Up.
- 42? - Down.
- I don't know. - 53?
- I said, "down". - Down.
Are you stupid?
Look at it carefully.
(Hungry Wok)
Does it belong to a customer?
Hello. Come on in.
Here is your dim sum.
Enjoy.
Here is your meal.
- This is our special menu. - Okay.
We'll take three of these.
Great. Great.
- Welcome! - Gosh.
Hey. You punks.
I'll take your order.
This is our special menu.
Okay.
Hey.
Hello. Please sit over there.
Three servings please.
Would you like three servings? Okay.
Please sit down.
I'll do a demonstration for you.
You use a bamboo straw...
to make a hole.
That's how you eat it.
- It's hot, so be careful. - Okay.
Enjoy.
- Enjoy. - Okay.
- Hey, it's so good. - It's really good.
It's so delicious.
This is so good.
- This is crazy. - Totally.
Let's take a picture. Show your dumplings.
- 1, 2, 3. - 1, 2, 3.
I'm going to post it.
- Can we order one more? - Who wants more?
- Me. - Me.
Thank you.
It's hot. Do you need help?
It's delicious.
- It's hot. - Goodness.
It's delicious.
My goodness.
This is crazy.
This is so good.
- I love it. - It's so good.
Isn't it so good?
(Hungry Wok)
- This is crazy. - It's so delicious.
It's so good.
Hey, have you seen...
my wallet?
No, I haven't seen it.
Are you sure?
My gosh.
Are you sure someone didn't pick it up and leave it somewhere?
How much money was inside your wallet?
Gosh, that's not the problem.
(CEO, Du Chil Seong)
"October 5, 1978".
"Kim Sun Nyeo".
Hey, it's me.
Remember that caregiver who took care of us...
at Daedong Hospital in Room 707...
back when we were involved in a car accident three years ago?
I want you to do a background check on her.
I want to know her name and age.
Check if her husband's still alive.
And check...
if she has a kid.
I want everything within today.
Okay. I'll only need a couple hours.
Okay.
Here's the shrimp meal you ordered. I hope you enjoy.
I heard Poong's restaurant is also packed with customers as well.
Where are you going, chef?
The hotel's filled with customers.
We're cooking meals that are as good as the hotel,
and ours only cost 18 dollars.
But people are paying 180 dollars to eat at the hotel.
What's their problem?
We just need to take one customer at a time.
This is only the beginning.
Okay.
Thank you for coming.
Do you like the food?
Is your guardian busy?
Pardon?
You told me that he's the one who makes everything.
Oh, okay. Just a moment.
- I heard place is nice. - Me too.
It's packed right now.
It's way cheaper than the hotel.
Did you ask for me? I'm Chef Seo Poong.
I see you're no longer wearing a cast.
Yes.
If there was anything you didn't like,
please don't hesitate to tell me.
I feel bad to compare.
But it's as good as the meal that's being served at the hotel.
The course they sell is expensive because they use shark's fin...
and swallow's nest to make the broth.
But you managed to enrich the seafood flavor with just shrimp.
I personally don't enjoy eating shark's fin and swallow's nest...
because I feel sorry for the sharks and swallows.
Maybe it's because you cooked everything with sincerity.
But it doesn't taste cheap at all regardless of the price.
It's delicious.
Thank you.
So I've been wondering.
Do you also take reservations here?
How many people are there?
It'll be around 100 people from the Surgeons' Association.
Yes, of course. We take reservations.
We've been holding our banquet at the hotel every month.
So everyone has a particular and high-class taste.
I'll call you tonight after I check if it'll be okay to eat here.
I guess you've been eating at the hotel all along.
Okay, ma'am.
Thank you.
Chef.
Are you coming back from Poong's restaurant?
We need to make sure...
not to lose a single customer to Poong.
Customers who'd go to that restaurant are pretty obvious.
They're probably people who like cheap stuff.
They wouldn't have been able to eat here anyway.
I already saw...
one of our customers eating at Poong's restaurant.
Really?
The moment we lose one customer,
it'll only be a matter of time before rumors start to spread.
We need to do whatever we can to stop our customers from leaving.
(Hungry Wok)
She said she'll call at 8pm, right?
If she makes a reservation...
If she does,
we'll have taken 100 customers from the hotel all at once.
Hello, this is Hungry Wok.
(Light and Shadow Loans)
What do you have?
The caretaker's name is Kim Sun Nyeo.
She's 74 years old.
Her husband used to be a boxer,
but he passed away two years after they got married.
They had a son together, but...
Yes, okay.
She made a reservation for 100 people...
for next Monday at 7pm.
She'll pay 18 dollars per person just like today.
And she'll leave the menu to us.
Nice!
- Geok Jeong. - Sae Woo.
This is a dream, isn't it?
A nice dream.
Please set the table for table number six.
Hello, you've reached Finishing Touch.
Oh, I see. Just a moment.
Chef Wang, our VIP customer from the Surgeons' Association...
wishes to cancel the reservation she made for 100 people.
Please excuse me, ma'am. But may I ask you something?
Is it because the banquet got canceled?
No.
I'm sorry, but we're going to try out a different restaurant.
By any chance,
if you're thinking about going to Hungry Wok,
we'll make you an irresistible offer.
(Hungry Wok)
- What are you doing? - What?
Are you looking for your wallet?
I picked it up earlier.
It's in my office upstairs.
Let's go up to get it.
Oh, were you the one who had it?
Let's go.
Ms. Kim Sun Nyeo.
My gosh.
What should I do?
(Light and Shadow Loans)
Please sit down.
The wallet.
Here.
And...
This.
Mom.
Are you my mother?
Then...
are you the one who abandoned me?
No.
No, I'm not.
How can you call someone who abandoned their kid a mother?
I'm not your mother.
I...
never had a mother,
so I'm not sure what to do.
No.
I'm not your mother.
No.
I'm not your mother.
Here.
Why are you crying?
You didn't do anything right.
I'm crying because I didn't do anything right.
I'm crying because all I did was wrong.
I'm sorry you found out.
