I came up with a recipe for Dom Perignon, but she made a recipe for you.
She made the best recipe for your present health condition...
... and took your long trips into consideration.
Her warm heart that goes out to you is the heart of Korea.
You may be a little displeased, but I hope you'll enjoy her heart.
Good job, everyone!
- Yeo Bong-Soon! - Yeo Bong-Soon!
Good job, Bong-Soon! You're the best!
I thought I was going to die from a heart attack just listening in here.
You know what? I thought I was gonna get fired because of you today!
Why, you little...
Good job!
Chef Gang!
You're not letting her get away like this, right?
I don't think luck can cover mistakes.
Let's be honest here. That was a dangerous situation.
Never mind the result.
I think we should hold her liable.
For the sake of kitchen discipline, we can't let her get away like this.
Apart from the mistake she's made, how can a cook-in-training dare to change...
... the recipe without asking your permission first?
This can't, and shouldn't be tolerated!
Fire her immediately!
This china was made by England's Wedgwood.
It's really expensive, huh?
Do I need to quit, too?
Everyone makes mistakes.
You can break more valuable things while working in the kitchen.
What matters is whether you learned from your mistakes and refined yourself.
Miss Bong-Soon enlightened us when we missed the point...
... because we were so caught up on Dom Perignon.
I learned a lot from this.
How about you?
We all made a mistake. Let's not talk about this anymore.
Miss Bong-Soon.
The first mistake can be forgiven, but not the second time.
I won't tolerate it if there is a second mistake.
(Mr. Chang)
Let's see...
The white stuff over here is the heart.
And the black stuffs on the side are the lungs, right?
Oh my gosh! He's a chain smoker, right?
- How did you know? - What do you take me for?
Don't you know I'm Dr. Nam the know-it-all?
Look.
The lungs are pitch black.
They say the human body is a universe. This universe is in total darkness!
I should've known.
You're wrong.
When the lung looks black, it's actually clean.
If there's disease in the lungs, they look like a white misty cloud in the x-ray.
See this white stuff over there?
Oh, is that right?
Did you get a call from Bong-Soon?
No, not yet.
Just checking.
(Hillbilly)
Answer it.
Hi.
Hey fathead!
Everything's taken care of.
The Prime Minister loved the Bokbunja wine!
He's taking 200 bottles with him tomorrow.
Nice work, Hillbilly! Does that mean you won't be fired?
Nope.
This is all thanks to you, fathead.
Thanks.
I'm just so happy and want to brag about it!
Sure! You can cluck all night long today! I'll just listen.
Dom Perignon '98!
Don't you think you're being too expensive?
What do you think, Bong-Hee?
What?
You're asking if the wine is made of gold or something? Atta girl!
What?
What's that sparkling in my eyes?
You saw that? They're my tears!
My eyes were filled with tears as I paid for this to celebrate with your sister.
What's taking that girl so long?
(Soo-Kyung)
Hello?
Mr. Nam! I was clubbing around Hongik There's a weird man who's...
Who's... Stop it, will you? I'm so scared.
Come quickly, okay?
Hurry!
What? Jin Soo-Kyung!
What? Clubbing?
What the heck?
(Hey kiddo.)
(Are you off work?)
(Where are you?) (Are you at home?)
(I didn't think you would answer it.)
I'm at the park.
Where we...
Do you remember?
(Cheer up, then. Bye.)
Don't hang up.
Don't hang up, Mr. Chang.
Don't hang up.
Cheer up, Mr. Chang.
What kind of a man has no energy at all?
You sound as though you had nothing to eat for three days.
Don't skip meals. Don't get sick.
And don't be down.
I'll cheer up, and you should too.
Oki doki?
That's wrong, you jerk!
You shouldn't hit on a high school senior like this! Come to your senses, okay?
Do you want me to beat them into you?
A high school senior? I thought she was 20 years old!
Go easy on him. After all, he's your friend?
What? My friend?
What the...
What are you doing here?
Bong-Gi? What are you...
What's going on between you two?
Is this the man you called me about?
You really did come!
I can't believe you actually did.
That was fun, you guys.
That hurts!
It's supposed to hurt! Do you think I'm trying to tickle you?
What's wrong with your clothes? You call these clothes?
You have nothing to show anyways.
Do you think taking it off makes you sexy? Not so!
Sexiness is just barely revealing it. Like putting on a long skirt...
... and gently showing your ankles. Now that's sexy!
From now on, wear your sister's clothes!
Gosh, this is so embarrassing.
I asked, what's going on between you two?
That's not the point here.
From now on, don't talk to Soo-Kyung anymore! Got that?
Next time I see you with her, I'll...
Well, you get the point.
Are you asking me to bring it on right now?
Fine! Let's bring it on! Let's see who gets the last laugh!
Are you playing hide and seek in the dark or something?
Why do you keep on running away?
Try flying away. I'll catch you anyways!
I almost tripped!
Look at these lines!
What do you think you're doing?
Forget after-school sessions.
Starting tomorrow, I better see you here when I come home! Got that?
Study at home! Watch the educational broadcasting.
Forget it! Just ask me if you have any questions!
Did you give up on life or something?
Then don't make a fuss about it!
I think you're acting like a spoiled brat because you want attention.
When did you get home, Hillbilly?
You should've came home as soon as you were done.
Look at this! It's all melted and lukewarm.
You're never on time! Never, never!
Why did you buy something so expensive?
What do you mean, why?
To celebrate.
What's wrong with you?
How can you buy something like this when you're so blue?
Why are you making it so hard on yourself?
You should've told me earlier!
What? Tell what?
You fool!
You dumb fathead!
How can you lose the girl you like when she's right in front of you?
Bong-Soon.
You found out?
Yeah, it just happened.
What are you going to do?
There's another man in the picture now.
Just give up.
Remember what you told me? You can't do anything about it.
What?
Just give up?
You can't do anything about it?
Why not?
Why not me?
Aren't you being too cruel?
Do you know how I feel these days?
Yes, I do.
I feed bad because I know how you feel.
Why can't you get yourself together?
Noh Jin-Kyung isn't the only girl in this world.
You can find a better girl than her.
I already have enough things to make me feel bad.
I don't need you to add to my problems!
Please cheer up.
Don't sink down like this.
Forget it.
Let's just make a toast.
Then little Gerda wept hot tears, which fell on his chest...
... and penetrated into his heart, and thawed the lump of ice.
Then he recognized Gerda.
Gerda, dear little Gerda, Where have you been all this time?
Mommy! Mommy!
Kay finally recognized Gerda!
Just like you recognized me!
Then Gerda kissed his cheeks and eyes...
... and he regained his strength and became healthy.
Now that I kissed you, you have to get healthy too.
Promise me!
It's time for bed. Lie down, Mommy.
Here's your pillow.
Don't walk around in the middle of the night, okay?
Why did you pee on the sheets? I told you to tell me if you need to pee!
What's this? They're all wet! You ruined the sheets!
Are you stupid? Are you a moron?
You make me mad! I'm so mad because of you!
Daddy!
Mommy went... Mommy went...
It's okay.
Stop crying, Hyo-Won.
C'mon girl.
Stop crying!
I know you're upset, but you shouldn't call your mommy stupid.
Mommy's just...
Well, she's just... She's just back to your age.
Mommy's gonna grow day by day, just like you are.
So let's be patient, okay?
Give it to me.
I'll do it.
Just give it to me.
I think we should let Hyo-Won stay here for only 2-3 days a week...
... and with her grandma the rest of the week.
We don't need her to see everything.
What'll she remember about her mother when she grows up?
It's okay, really. Just give it to me, please?
No, it's okay.
I'm only ironing it along with my kids' school uniforms.
Besides, I've always wanted to iron men's shirts.
Everyone I've dated so far sucked.
None of them had jobs they can work with a dress shirt on.
Hey mister! If you have anything to iron, just give it to me.
Oh yeah.
You don't wear shirts like this, right?
Just give me your work clothes then.
No, forget it.
What's the use of ironing work clothes?
You can carry on with what you've been doing.
I guess it's convenient.
You won't ever have to iron anything.
Hey Bong-Gi! Did you wash my sneakers?
Your sneakers?
No.
I did it.
They were just too darn filthy and smelly.
They haven't been washed in such a long time...
... I thought my arms were gonna come off after I washed them.
Gosh, you don't even have anyone to wash your shoes for you.
What's the use of having kids?
Kids don't understand what their parents really need.
You must be grateful, huh?
Wait.
What are you going to wear to work today? You only have 1 pair of shoes.
Who told you to wash my shoes?
I can't even go to work now because of you!
What am I going to do now? Do you want me to go barefooted to work?
But I... I was just really grateful and wanted to do something for you...
... but I had nothing to give.
You only have 1 pair of shoes?
It's not like I walk with 4 feet. 1 pair is enough! What else do I need?
Isn't this beer?
What a waste!
Dammit!
Did you do this too?
Huh?
Yes.
I thought you had athlete's feet.
Dipping your feet in a bucket of beer takes the itchiness away.
I mean, I noticed how you were always rubbing them against the wall in pain.
Wait a minute!
Is that the beer that was in the refrigerator?
Yes.
You should've asked for my permission first!
Oh my gosh! It's all burnt!
Why did you guys distract me when I'm ironing?
I was only ironing, minding my own business.
Now it's ruined!
What are you going to do about this?
I was only trying to iron.
What?
Make some time after work.
Why?
Is that the only tie you have?
Put this one on. It looks much better.
Why aren't you putting it on?
Huh?
I'm putting it on!
I'll call you later.
You better come looking fabulous.
Oh well... The hillbilly likes it.
Only the best can work here.
Anyone who is unqualified cannot be hired from the beginning.
Even after being hired, you can't stay here if you don't show improvement.
Therefore I will regularly test your skills.
Those who do not meet my standards will be fired at my discretion.
Even the Chief has approved of my idea. Now it's up to you.
The sauce I made up yesterday is in front of you.
Taste it, then tell me what ingredients I used.
First and foremost, I'm going to test how sensitive your tongues are.
Now begin.
Now tell me what ingredients were used.
Kang Min-Ah!
For the Fond, I think you used Beef Brown Stock.
For the beef stock, you roasted cattle bones and added carrot, onion...
... tomato, garlic, and tomato paste...
Oh yeah! Celery and parsley. And I think you also used laurel leaves.
Very good.
Wang Soo-Hee! What about the Roux?
Soute from White Roux.
Good.
Yeo Bong-Soon.
What's the name of the wine used for the sauce?
Wine?
Yeo Bong-Soon!
I asked, what kind of wine was used for the sauce?
I don't know.
You don't know?
Your colleagues figured everything out, but not you?
Kang Min-Ah! Why don't you tell me?
You used Madeira wine.
Up to this point, this sauce is no different from common Madeira sauce.
But adding mango and tarragon added a softer and more abundant flavor to this.
You sound as though you were standing right next to me.
Very good!
Please learn something from Min-Ah!
What?
Everyone connects with food?
Food is science.
Connect with the ingredient first!
How dare you act arrogant in front of me!
Everyone knows that the First Lady has lost her appetite, right?
This is the second test.
Prepare an energy food for the First Lady.
The person who helps the First Lady regain her appetite not only wins the test...
... but will receive a special bonus.
What's wrong?
Why are you brushing your teeth until you're about to barf?
Stop it!
Just be quiet if you don't know anything.
No wonder your tongue is as stupid as you are.
I can't believe you didn't even get one right!
And you call that a cook's tongue?
Are you a cook?
You need to keep your tongue clean so it'll be sensitive to flavors.
If you're ignorant, make an effort at least.
I heard you only graduated from middle school.
Do you even understand what we were talking about?
It must be pretty tough for you.
Keep trying.
Although it won't you do any good.
Again?
You always ask for a cucumber or an egg!
Do you think we're your charity organization?
Go and buy your own!
I only get customers asking for a massage once in a while.
I don't want them to get spoiled if I buy them all at once.
He's so crappy. What a cheapskate.
I heard that.
Watch your mouth.
What did you say?
Nothing. Give me the cucumber. The customer's waiting.
No way...
Here's your cucumber and egg!
Are you sure one is enough?
I can give you more. Tell me if there's anything you need.
What's going on?
Are you okay?
Don't you skip your meals because you're at the barber shop the whole day?
And there's no one around to cook for you.
Do you want me to get you something?
No, it's okay. I better go now.
Oh hi, Mr. Hyung-Do!
When did you get here? You should've let me know.
You're always smiling, Miss Jin-Kyung.
It's not easy to be nice to everyone.
Oh, don't say that.
Everything will work out fine if I understand and give in a little.
Why should I argue with others?
Oh... Say hi.
This is reporter Shin Chul-Joong from Current Affairs Magazine.
He's my friend from college.
Nice to meet you I'm Noh Jin-Kyung.
Hi! I'm Shin Chul-Joong.
No wonder he insisted on eating at this cafeteria.
You're very beautiful, Mrs. Ki.
Mrs. Ki?
Why'd you say that?
Let's... let's eat.
Ooh La La!
Does that mean the restaurant is now mine?
Valued at $2 million?
What did you want to ask me?
It's about President Chang Min-Ho's son.
I heard that he's been taking care of his dementia wife for the past three years.
Is that correct?
I want the scoop.
Well, I've never heard of anything of that kind.
And if I haven't head about it, it must be a false rumor.
- You guessed wrong. - Oh, I see.
Let's eat lunch, Hyo-won.
Since you didn't have breakfast, you have to finish your lunch, okay?
This looks delicious.
Here's the rounded beef.
I put tofu and cheese in here.
This makes you smarter and makes you remember things better.
It's good for you, so eat lots of them.
And this one makes your bones stronger.
You have to finish everything, okay?
Is there anything to make my mommy get smarter?
Can she get smarter if she eats this?
Can't you make something that'll make my mommy get better?
What should I do? My mommy's getting sick again.
Make something that'll make my mommy stronger, please?
Oh, okay.
I'll find something for her.
I will. Let's make it together, okay?
What's on your mind?
Joon-Won.
I'm only asking this just in case.
It's about Bong-Soon.
Is something going on between you two?
Joon-Won.
Is there?
I'm sorry.
I'm sorry, Mom.
What?
I like her.
Put this one on. It looks much better.
Oh well! She likes it.
What a horrible taste. Oh, you tasteless hillbilly!
Here you are!
Hey hillbilly.
I heard this place is pretty pricey. Are you paying today?
Why should I?
I thought men were supposed to pay for the date.
What? A date?
A date...
Hey, you look really great today.
Really? As usual.
You look pretty today.
What?
What's wrong with you today?
You're the only one who calls me ugly.
Everyone at the markets compliments me on my looks.
Not everyone can be Miss Auraji, you know.
Mal-Sook! Over here!
Who's that? Do we have company?
Yes.
I'm hooking you up on a blind date.
She's my friend from middle school.
She's great!
You won't find a girl like her anywhere in this country!
What? A blind date?
You know what they say.
Scars from past love can only be healed through new love.
She's a good girl.
Hope you get well soon...
This is Nam Bong-Gi. The man I told you about.
Bong-Gi! This is Kim Mal-Sook.
Say hi.
Have a seat!
Why are you just standing there? Sit down.
You even bought flowers?
See, Mal-Sook?
I'll leave you two alone now.
Have fun.
Bong-Gi.
Be good to my friend, okay?
Call me later, Mal-Sook.
How much were they?
How much did you pay for them?
What?
It's such a waste. They'll go right into a trash can in just two days.
I'm not like other girls who get excited over flowers.
I'm more excited about sirloin steak That'll really make me happy.
Aren't you gonna eat that?
Should I eat it then?
Sure.
Go ahead.
Why don't we call it a night after we finish this?
I need to go to Mokpo early tomorrow morning to get ingredients.
I don't think I can stay much longer.
Oh... What a shame.
Mr. Bong-Gi.
Yes, Miss Mal-Sook.
I hope you won't take this the wrong way.
I know you're a good person But you're not my type.
My dream guy is Daniel Henney.
I can't feel a thing unless I see a man like Henney.
I tried to work this out for Bong-Soon's sake.
But I don't think this will work out.
Did I offend you in any way?
I'll just narrow it down to three.
First, this bouquet. Do you know how much flowers cost?
I like a man who knows how to grow funds.
Second, I don't like men who scribble with their food.
That's my pet peeve.
Real men are supposed to have a good appetite and eat anything.
Third, this is something I really can't stand.
It's that tie you're wearing. Even my dad doesn't wear something like that.
With a taste like that, you can't survive in a country that puts importance in looks.
You'll be an outcast before you know it!
Do you need it?
No, it's okay.
Keep watching.
I'm done.
Then... can you teach me how to use the internet?
Huh?
(Preventing and treating dementia) (Mushrooms are good for the brain)
I boiled the Lion's Mane mushrooms with hot water and gave it to the patient to eat...
... instead of tea, and fed the leftovers as well.
Nothing happened during the first two months.
But on the third month, the patient was able to take phone calls and...
... remembered the names of close friends.
(Nam Bong-Gi)
What the...
He's been with her this whole time?
What is it?
Hey Bong-Gi!
Hey!
Oh.
What is it? You're the one who's calling. Say something!
You're the one who called.
What are you doing? Shouldn't you be in bed?
Shouldn't you be home by now, instead of calling?
Are you still with Mal-Sook?
No.
I got dumped.
What?
You got dumped? How?
Mal-Sook wouldn't dump a guy without a good reason.
What did you do to her?
You should've done a better job.
I'm sorry I got dumped.
She said she doesn't like me.
She doesn't like my flowers. She doesn't like how I scribble my food.
And above all, she can't stand this tie.
What?
You should've told me earlier.
If you did, I wouldn't have bought the flowers, or scribbled my food...
... or put this embarrassing tie on today.
What's wrong with Mal-Sook? There's nothing wrong with the tie.
It looks great to me.
Bong-Soon.
You hillbilly! You...
What about me?
Hey scatterbrain!
Are you sure you have brains?
What? A scatterbrain?
Hey fathead.
Watch your mouth!
No, I won't watch it.
Hey chicken eye! Are you sure you even have eyes?
What?
Now you're calling me a chicken eye?
Where are you right now? Where are you blabbering away right now?
I think I know why chicken breasts are so dry and make me thirsty.
- Bye. - Bong-Gi!
What?
Scars from past love can only be healed through new love?
How come you can't be that love?
