Oh.
Hello.
You must have been shocked last time.
I apologize for that.
We'd like to invite you to cook for Mr. Kim everyday.
You don't have to stay here the whole day. You can just come once in a day.
And make food that he can eat.
Um...
There are other great chefs in this huge hotel...
May I ask why it has to be me? I'm from country side...
Home cooking.
They can't make food that tastes like home cooking.
He prefers food that resembles a grandmother's cooking and with distinct rich flavor.
$5,000.
Give me $5,000.
I need $5,000 now urgently.
I know I have no sense of shame...
But if you can pay me first then I'll do it.
- Do what she wants. - Okay.
Tell me if you need more bowls or dishes.
I think this is more than enough.
He doesn't eat a big breakfast so you can make food for lunch and dinner.
His meal time is 12:30 p.m and 6:30 p.m.
He has many appointments through the day, so it's rare for him to eat 2 meals at the hotel.
You can expect to make food for one meal.
Um...Is there any food that he can't eat?
No, there isn't. But he has a small appetite.
And he doesn't like too much seasonings.
He has had all kinds of food but his taste palette is unexepectedly simple.
I see. Then should I tell him what I'm going to make a week ahead?
Just show me first. I'll tell you if there's something he wants to eat.
Okay. What about ingredients?
They are from our hotel kitchen.
Um...is it okay if I just buy some on the way here?
What?
It's kind of awkward for me to see a very clean kitchen with very clean ingredients.
I think it'd be better to get ingredients that I smell, check and taste.
That way, I can make a better food that has rich flavor.
I see. Sure.
Thank you.
Here, this is a check.
Thank you.
This is your paycheck. It says we've paid you 3 months of salary.
- Please sign it here. - Okay.
You can work from tomorrow. He has a lunch meeting so you can come at dinner time.
That's good.
There are some soy bean paste and pepper paste that I've made.
I'll bring them and I'll also make some Kimchi.
I'll come by 4 and start cooking.
All right. You can charge for the ingredients.
At street market, I can't get a receipt.
Is it okay to write everything I buy in an account book and show you?
That'd be good.
All right, thank you. Then I'll go.
I'll take you home.
No, no! I'll go alone. That's more comfortable for me.
Thank you though.
Thank God! Thank every God up there!
Thank you!
- It's all set. - Thank you so much.
Hey, you must have been worried!
You're okay, right?
I'm okay!
You should have sent me a text at least. We were so worried!
- Is she all right? - Where is she?
Where are you? Are still you with that people?
- She said she will be here soon. - What a relief.
I'll be at the club. If something happens, give me a call.
- Um...wait. - Yes?
The buttons and spangles were dropped from the suit you wore last time.
Give it to me, I'll sew them for you.
You don't have to do that.
If you go to an alteration shop, you have to pay for that.
I'll do it for you.
- She's right. - The suit is at the club, right?
Yeah, it is.
Go bring the suit. Since we've brought it up, I'll do it now.
- Okay, let's go. - Yeah.
Won Sook. Hey.
- Hi. - Hey.
- Won Sook. - What?
Haven't you heard from Bong Shil yet?
Are you even worried about her?
We have a special guest coming to our restaurant so she can't do it tonight.
Tell her she can start it again from tomorrow.
Wow!! That's good! Thank you!
I'm doing it just for you.
Thank you so much! You've made a good choice!
Are you that happy?
She will be so happy if she hears this. I'm going to tell her right away!
You're so nosy! Look at your face!
I'm going to tell her right away
Mind your business! No wonder why you can't save money!
It's really good for her! I'm so happy!
The buttons are really off.
- She will fix it soon. - She can take her time.
She didn't have to care about me.
What's this?
Your mother stopped by and dropped this off.
- My mom? - Yeah.
She asked me to give this to you.
You've had meetings until now and you only had a pizza.
I just heat it up. Please have some.
Wow, hey, what's up?
I've heard very good news. Is it true about Lee Jung Hyun's comeback?
Is it?
Come on. We're good friends.
Mrs. Seo, we haven't seen each other for a long time.
How about going out for a few drinks?
I'm near by your office with the superintendent.
Sure. Just hang in there.
Mr. Kim? Mr. Kim, where are you?
I'm coming.
I've been swamped with work for the whole day.
Everyone's contacting us now.
Mr. Choi called me and wanted to see me.
He is near by our office with the superintendent.
He moves fast.
He hasn't made a hit drama for a long time. He needs some solutions.
Then let's go check what he has for us.
Shall we?
Let's go.
Miss. Kim, I'm going out. Please clean that up.
Oh my gosh, you didn't eat anything.
You should eat before we go. They're going to make you drink for sure.
I don't have time. Let's just go.
Are you looking for something?
- Where's the boss? - Why do need to see him?
I came to talk about my payment.
Give me a minute.
He told me give this to you since he's busy.
Please sign it here.
What?
He said he excluded money for the stuff you broke. And this is what's left.
- Do I need to sign here? - Yeah.
- The packages are here. - Put it in the storage.
- The delivery man is changed? - What?
Where's the guy who used to deliver packages?
- I heard he got fired. - What?
- Please sign it here. - Okay.
What the...
Did he get really fired?
- Hi. - Hey, what's up?
Soo Ae isn't here. She went to work at the club.
I came to see you.
Me? Why?
- Here. - What's this?
I heard from Soo Ae that you like croissants.
- You bought it just for me - Yeah.
I bought it from this bakery where a French man runs.
That's so sweet of you.
Thank you for what you did at the police station and not telling me my mom about that.
And you also gave me that pretty jacket.
You're not like most young people who don't know how to respect people.
I learned if you owe somebody, you should pay withing your circumstances.
Who taught you that?
My dad did.
Ah.
- He was a gentleman. - Do you know him?
Ah...
I had dinner with him and people around here since we have stores in the same town.
- I see. - Let's go. I'll buy you dinner.
It's okay.
I was about to go home anyway. I don't want to have dinner by myself.
Let's go eat together. You know mom re-opened her restaurant, right?
Yes, I heard that.
Let's go there. It's a good Thai resturant.
She will sell Kimbob and noodles here from 11 pm to 5 am.
Your mom is a really great cook and skilled at growing herbs.
I was very surprised.
She made a great green house on my roof. How amazing is that?
By the way, how did my mom and you meet?
She was born in Nam Hae and spent her whole life there.
I didn't know she has a such cool friend like you.
Um...I don't remember exactly...but you know.
Oh my...
I forgot to tell you that. He is working here from today.
You guys talk. I'm going to the bathroom.
I was kind of shocked when I heard you got fired from the store.
Just order.
I'm sorry...
Mind your own business.
I was going to quit soon anyway.
Why is he not picking up the phone?
Aren't I supposed to send a text to In Young by this time?
Kyung Soo should tell me what to do now...!
You appeared with leather globes and leather jacket last night.
I was so shocked!
People that blamed us were like so quiet the moment you appeared to the police station.
I'm a very different person with a costume.
You don't have to be so girly at a place like that. It's no use.
You should look tough!
- I'll refill your water. - Oh, sure.
Thanks.
Ice cream. Kebob ice cream.
- It's so delicious. - Man Geum.
- Thank you for working here. - What?
- Tomorrow will be your last day. - What?
Since the weather is getting colder, people don't buy an ice cream.
Then can I work inside?
We have plenty people to work inside.
Sorry, Man Geum. I am sorry.
This is not good.
We have a special performance tonight!
Don't you have another song? The mood is getting somber!
Sing another song! Come on!
Are you going to keep singing like that? Huh? Are you?
Why do you look so depressed now?
Mi Ja must be waiting for you.
I got fired.
Really? How long have you worked there?
What did you do wrong?
People don't bye an ice cream in cold weather...So...
- That's to bad... - Our baby will be born soon.
Her aunt even followed us here and moved her market to here.
What should I do?
- Joon Tae. - Hey, Beom Soo.
What are you doing here?
Drink this.
It's warm.
Thank you.
Customers make a mess at a place like that all the time...
Don't take it too seriously, okay?
Of course, I won't.
What's wrong?
No, it's nothing.
I'm leaving. Bye.
He got fired from the Kebob restaurant.
Wait! Doesn't Lee Soo want to hire a waiter?
Yes, she does.
He's very sincere.
- Why don't you drink more? - Sure.
Hey, honey.
Honey, I want to eat some strawberries. Is there any place you can buy that?
Buy me some strawberries. Our baby wants it.
Of course, I will buy them if our baby wants to eat it.
Thank you honey!
All right. I'll be there soon.
How much are these?
It's $10 for each box.
It is that expensive?
Your wife is pregnant, isn't she?
How did you know that?
Do you think a man would want to buy strawberries in this cold winter by himself?
That makes sense.
It's $10 for each box but I'll give it to you for $18 total.
- Is it that delicious? - Yeah.
- Is our baby all right? - Yeah.
Oh, the doctor says we have to pay the bill for the time I spent in the hospital.
- Really? - Yeah.
For a long stay patient, she has to pay the bill in the middle.
Ah.
- Mrs. Seo, are you all right? - Yeah.
In Young, you can't sleep out without telling us!
You said you're going to use that apartment as a workroom.
I haven't finished my homework yet so I gotta do it tonight.
Are you with him now?
Prove me that you're not with him by taking a video around you.
Kyung Soo!
Come on.
Here! Here! Can you see it?
- Are you happy now? - Yeah.
Promise me come home early tomorrow. You know your sister will be mad about this.
Fine. Good night.
Okay.
Honey, where are you?
I think you should come downstairs.
Who's this?
Ah, I'm her coworker at Creator.
Ah, I'll be there soon.
You shouldn't have drank all the shots that people gave you.
- You didn't have a proper meal today. - I'm fine.
Oh my god. Are you okay?
- She hasn't had a meal today. - I see. Thank you.
- Hey, wake up! - Ah, and this.
Thanks.
She will feel better if she takes this. Give this to her if she has a hangover.
I'll leave now then. Mrs. Seo, I'm going.
Bye, Mr. Kim.
Wake up.
Where did you drink so much? If you were sick, you shouldn't have drank.
She gets better if she takes this. Give this to her if she has a hangover.
What is it with Mr. Kim? I really don't understand.
She has me! Why is he worried about her?
Hey, bro. Can I see you today?
I can't see you today.
Then can I stop by your house?
I have something that I want to give you.
You didn't have to do that.
If you must do it, you can stop by.
Okay.
He acts pretty fast.
Since Lee Jung Hyun will be in my wife's drama, my wife's business will get better.
And since this rich guy is so crazy about In Young, she will be happy as well.
Now, if I win this contest and get a lot of money, I can help Bong Shil!
I can do it!
- Go Bong Shil. - I'm here.
- Here it is. - Thanks.
These are a soy bean paste and pepper paste.
Ice cream. It's the last day.
Ice cream. Ice cream.
Hey, Chun Man Geum! You're Chun Man Geum, right?
Hey.
Dude, you look like a king.
- Is this restaurant a your workplace? - Yeah.
Why do you look like a dog that hasn't had a meal for a whole day?
- No, I don't. - Yes, you do.
By the way, I heard Joon Tae works somewhere around here.
Yeah.
- He eats and sleeps there? - Yeah, I think so.
He doesn't pick up the phone. I was going to have lunch with him
I really want to know what he's doing. I'm going to go see him.
Where should I go to see him?
Ah, if you pass the fire station, you will see an intersection.
If you see it, take a right turn...
Why did you stop talking? So I take a right turn there?
Um....Is it a right turn...or left turn...?
Maybe, it's back there.
Dude, you don't even know how to get there? You're still young!
I'll just call him.
- Hey. - Bong Shil, it's me.
Man Deuk is here.
- He's looking for where Joon Tae works. - What? Man Deuk?
Okay! I'll be there soon. Stall him
All right.
Oh my, he's sleeping here.
Joon Tae.
Bong Shil, what are you doing here?
Man Deuk came from Nam Hae. He's looking for you now.
Man Deuk?
Soo Ae! Where's Soo Ae?
She's probably at Won Sook's store. Man Deuk is at Man Geum's workplace now.
I have to go cook for Mr. David Kim now.
I see. I'll go see Man Deuk.
I hope nothing happens.
Its taste is kind of weird.
It's called Kebob. It's a cheap and healthy food. Young people like it.
Usually old people don't eat this kind of food that well.
But you eat that well.
In the Vietnam War, people around me couldn't eat Pho except for me.
They said it smells like a lotion or something so they didn't eat it.
Then even threw up. But I was so hungry and I was in the war.
This is free of charge.
Is it really?
Don't go yet.
Dude.
- This is sweet. - Wow, it's good.
By the way, why are people from Nam Hae coming here?
Even Geum Shil moved her market here.
Well, she just happened to do that.
- Hey, give me more of this. It's so small. - I'll.
- Give us a lot. - Okay.
What's in your mind?
Nothing...
You're worried because people from your hometown are staying here.
A little.
It seems like Bong Shil and Joon Tae understand you.
They were shocked but they feel bad for me too.
What about that old woman, Geum Shil?
- She doesn't know yet. - Don't worry.
You can understand them one by one.
What are you doing?
With some leftover cloth, I made a handkerchief.
What do you think? Do you think it would match with that suit?
Is this for Joon Tae?
Call him now. You said he only has two suits.
Look. Doesn't this look different with that?
Call him now.
In the war, I made this guy a rice and everything. He's still alive because of me!
Without me, he wouldn't have lived now.
Ah, I see.
The reason I came to Seoul is to get paid by him for that.
So I'm going to go to the club you work and..
- Hello? - Hey, it's me.
- Who's this? - Soo Ae..no..Boem Soo.
Ah, Boem...
Hey, Soo Ae, what's up?
What?
Your suit is fixed now. Come and pick it up.
All right. I'll pick it up when I have time.
Okay.
Isn't it?
- No, she's not. - Don't lie. I heard everything.
Her name is Soo Ae?
- Is she pretty? - I told you she's not.
Oh my gosh. What a player!
I said she's not!
I think I'm right.
- You're busy, aren't you? - No, it's okay.
So I ...
Ta-Da! I bought this!
You didn't have to do it.
I appreciate what you have done.
Do you like it?
You didn't have to...
I thought a pen would be good for you since you're a writer.
- Sure. - Can I have some water? I'm thirsty.
Sure, help yourself.
I think I know your problem.
I feel bad for my sister in law.
Do you like that? If you don't like the design, you can go exchange it.
- I put a receipt just in case. - Oh, really?
That's good.
- Why don't you buy paper next time? - You want paper now?
No, no, no! Sit down.
Thank you! Thank you!
When are you going back?
Since I came to Seoul, I'm going to meet my old friends. It's going to take some time.
Dude, how about a drink after the wedding?
I can't, I have work.
I can't tell you when it's going to be done.
Are you playing hard to get now?
No, I'm just...
Fine,fine.
You think the Marine like myself would have nobody to drink with?
There are many of my fellow marines everywhere!
I'm going to bring my friends to your club, your boss will like that.
You said you drank too much last night! Why don't you just go now and call me tomorrow?
Fine, fine.
By the way, I heard Bong Shil's restaurant is around here.
It opens after midnight!
Then she must be home now. I can't just go back without seeing her.
I should buy something for her and...
Bong Shil went somewhere now.
So why don't you leave now and call me tomorrow?
Fine, I'll leave!
- Okay, bye bye. - Bye.
Fish and vegetables are ready. And let's see..
Kimchi can't be done now.
Let's make some cucumber salad. Wait...
It's all set.
Oh!
Joon Tae, it's me. Where's Man Deuk?
That's a relief. No, I'm going out now. I'll call you later. Okay.
One black hood.
One black.
Hey, Boem Soo. No ,no! Soo Ae!
Hi. Hey, I met your dad just now.
- What? - I met your dad!
Are you okay?
He's going to kill me if he sees me.
Won Sook, whst should I do? Where should I go?
Beom Soo, what are you doing? She must be very shocked.
I am buying a plane ticket to U.S!
Dude! Calm down! U.S isn't right next our country!
Geum Shil! Geum Shil!
Geum Shil!
Here is some herb tea. Drink it.
He went back so you're fine.
- Won Sook, I gotta go. - Go where? Stop saying that.
She's out of her mind now.
Is her father that scary?
You can't even imagine.
Oh my gosh. Let's take her home first.
Hey, hey!
There are so many stairs in this town.
- Can I help you? - No, I'm fine.
What?
Who said it?
People in our age should be careful.
Do a lot of exercise!
Holy cow.
How come black people and white people in this town are so good at Korean?
I'm a doctor. I'm not a stranger.
I'm a pain clinic doctor, you know?
I can't believe it.
That's a big nose.
- Clinic? - A pain clinic.
That sounds funny. So you're a doctor?
When did that old woman learn that weird language?
What's wrong with her?
What's wrong? What's going on?
Bong Shil.
She's panicking after she heard that Man Deuk is here.
You said he left.
I only told her he was here but she's a nervous wreck.
- Take her home. - Yeah.
- Try to walk. - Why is she so heavy?
Be careful over there. And move this please.
You guys are working so hard.
- You're here. - Yeah.
What do you think? Do you like it?
It's not bad.
I've fixed the electricity and the water hose.
If we paint over there, It'll look better.
It's very cheap only for you because I know this repair man.
These days, people wouldn't come to fix it if you don't pay them well.
Oh my God!
You scared me.
So this is the place?
You bragged about how you became a citizen in Seoul or something just because of this?
You old man! How could you know I was here?
- So is he your husband? - What? Are you kidding me now?
Are you crazy? She's not my wife!
I'll leave now.
Why do you want to run this small market?
Do you think it's that small?
- You crazy old man. - Don't point your finger at me.
Excuse me. Please do a good job here.
He is insane. I'm not going back to Nam Hae because I don't want to see him!
He's making me feel sick!
I think he's going senile or something.
Why does she look so pale?
- Hey, Bong Shil. - Geum Shil.
- Hey. - Geum Shil! Geum Shil!
Oh my!
Everyone's here!
Man Deuk.
Why did he come all the way here from Nam Hae? He's so weird.
- You said he left! - He said he will.
- Who is he? - Beom Soo's father.
Why are you guys whispering? What are you guys talking about?
She must be very sick!
Oh my gosh. She passed out.
How come no one offers me water or anything? I'm a guest here, you know?
Let me get in. I want to see what kind of people live here.
Just sit down.
Since only women live here, it's kind of hard to let you in today.
- Have you looked around her market yet? - I have already.
Then take a look again. You probably know where and what to fix.
- I already did. - Please do it again, Man Deuk.
Let's go! I'll treat you a meal today.
You said you're busy today.
I'll just take a day off since you're here!
Let's go. Let's go!
- How's Beom Soo.. I mean Soo Ae? - She passed out.
She took a sedative and she's sleeping now.
- What should we do? - I don't know.
I will take care of here. You should go now. today is your first day of work.
Oh yeah. I'm sorry. I should go now.
I'm leaving too.
It's so weird. Who is she?
The meal is ready.
Um...Usually eating alone makes you lose appetite.
Even if the food is delicious.. Eating alone may cause you to lose appetite.
So I set up a table for him too.
I'm sorry if I am being rude...
- I'm okay. You can eat. - No. She's right.
Let's eat together.
Ah, I mixed some brown rice with white rice.
It's not good for your health to keep eating only white rice.
Is this the bean paste you talked about yesterday?
Yeah.
Excuse me.
Have some sizzling rice soup.
Thank you.
Thank you for the meal.
No problem. Did you like the food?
Yeah, it was very delicious.
Thank you for the meal.
I also asked for garlic and anchovy from Nam Hae... Some spicy paste, too.
I'm would like to use every ingredient from Nam Hae.
All right.
She's a very good cook.
What I'm saying is... Even if you leave your hometown...
When it's time to die, You should return to return to your roots...
But this grandma... In the twilight of her years...What?
Moving to Seoul?! Isn't that terrific...
Why is my life so hard to live? Is it same for you two?
- What? - Tell me.
Of course, my life is so hard to live too now. There's nothing I can do about it now.
Do you think it's easy for me to entertain drunken people by singing and playing guitar?
My baby is going to be born soon.
I'm going to be jobless again.
How should I see Mi Ja now?
Your situation is nothing compare to mine.
I finally realized how my father felt to raise me and all.
Don't you think so?
Beom Soo...that bastard!
Why did you throw a wet tissue on me?
I just got hit by a wet tissue!
So stupid...!
What do you think you're doing now?!
Hey, Lee Soo!
You're so observant! How did you know I'm here?
Oh my goodness. Get up!
- Is she your girlfriend? - What? No, no.
Are you Soo Ae?
Dude, she's Soo Ae, right? She's pretty.
Who's this handsome guy?
- Do you want to drink? - Yeah! Sounds great!
No! Hey, wake up!
Let's get out! I'll buy you drinks.
Where are we going to go? I like here better.
See? He likes here better. What's wrong?
Cheers? I like to do that! Cheers!
- Cheers! - Bottoms up!
Cheers.
- It's so sweet. - Wait!
I like this smell very much.
- Let's do a love shot, honey. - Love shot! I like it!
Oh my gosh!
- Go bring one more bottle. - No! Don't bring it.
The vodka here is so expensive!
What?
If this is expensive, then let's have beers.
Beer doesn't taste anything. I like a vodka better.
Fine! Go bring one more bottle!
Why?
Stop that! He's Soo Ae's father!
So what? So he's our customer now.
Bravo!
- Hello? - Yes?
- It's almost done. - Yeah, isn't this all right?
- Yeah, it looks good. - So how was your work today?
It was good. He said it's delicious.
I knew it. You're a very good cook.
I heard you're getting ingredients from Nam Hae.
Yeah.
Why didn't you answer Chun Ja's phone? She called me because she couldn't contact you.
I don't think she called me.
Where is my phone?
Did you drop it somewhere?
- I think I should go get it. - Yeah.
- I'll be back soon. - Okay.
I totally forgot that I left my phone here.
- Hop in. - I'm okay.
- Try this. - Why are you so perfect?
Lee Tae Won?
I want to see Geum Shil's new market and your workplace.
I'm fine.
- Mrs. Seo! - Emergency Room?
This is your fault! You should care about your health!
So the tall girl is Beom Soo?
Yeah. He said he's not going back until he finds Beom Soo.
Long time no see, Won Sook.
I know.
- How's Mr. Kim? - He's nice. Don't worry.
Joon Seok was a gentle man.
Father.
