[Episode 3]
If you throw a letter in a bottle into the sea here,
it'll reach Jejudo in 6 months.
Let's throw it into the sea tomorrow.
And let's go to Jejudo together in 6 months to see if it really arrived.
I laughed so much in a long time. It was thanks to you.
You were designated by a fellow countryman.
Is he Korean?
Yes. He's handsome.
Salute!
Over here.
I'll begin. Let me wash your feet first.
Tea is ready.
Ugh. My eyes are going to fall out while I'm doing this job. Ugh.
Mom, stop. I'll do it.
It's okay. You have a test tomorrow.
Esol works so hard to pay for your tuition. Just study hard.
Mom, Esol cried last night.
Cried? Why? She doesn't even cry when peeling onions.
I don't know. She cried all night. Her pillow got all wet.
Is that why she didn't eat breakfast? What's up with her?
Yura... What are you doing here?
Oh, you work part-time. You even do these kind of jobs?
Who is she? Your friend?
Haven't you seen her? This is Yura Seo.
Yura?
Oh my...
It's been so long, you look so different from when you were little.
Are you really Yura?
- Um, well... - Jaejoon told me...
you work part-time to earn pocket money. How commendable.
Still, if your mom sees you do these kinds of jobs, she'll feel sad.
Excuse me.
Wait. Your mom will come soon.
You should at least say hi to her.
Huh? Well, I...
Heera, I'm sorry I'm late. I fell asleep.
How are you, Dr. Choi?
Sorry, Jaejoon, I heard. Yura is still immature. Please understand her.
Immature? She even does tough jobs like this.
Job? Yura works?
Yura, aren't you going to say hi to your mom?
What are you talking about? She's not here.
My. Can't you recognize your own daughter?
Look at her.
Excuse me.
Can you turn around?
Can't you hear me?
Yura?
What's wrong?
Is she the one you dated for the past two days?
Yes. I spent two whole days with her.
Why? What's wrong?
Who are you to impersonate my daughter?
Tell me. Who the heck are you?
Ask Ms. Yura Seo for the details. Excuse me.
Wait.
Jaejoon, Jaejoon. Jaejoon.
Jaejoon!
Leave him alone. He needs to know who she is to get over her.
We need to talk.
I have nothing more to say. Talk with Ms. Yura Seo.
You are the Yura Seo I dated, so I want you to explain what happened.
Tell me who you are.
I was hired...
by Ms. Seo to date you for three days in her place.
I'm a whiz in many part-time jobs...
like lunch delivery, driving for hire, anything that makes money.
I'm sorry.
She said I just had to show you around Kaohsiung.
I didn't know things would snowball like this.
- I'm really sorry. - "Sorry"?
Is it that simple? You don't know what you did.
You played with my heart.
Mr. Jaejoon Park.
You must've laughed at me the whole time.
Not knowing you were a hired date, I opened my heart to you...
and even confessed my feelings to you.
I must've looked pathetic to you.
No, you got me wrong.
I didn't take it seriously at first, but as time went by, it started to haunt me.
At the beach and at the night market...
I thought you were a really warm, good person so I...
Enough. I don't need your excuses.
Wait.
I didn't mean to hurt you.
I may have been thoughtless, but I was sincere while we were together.
Sincere?
Is there any sincerity in a woman who'd do anything for money?
Take it.
The price for dating me for two days.
Mr. Park.
Why? Not enough?
Oh, the cheap lunch.
Thank you.
I had fun the last two days as well.
The rich sure are different, paying so generously for a cheap lunch.
We're quits now. Hope we don't see each other again.
Esol.
Mom. What brings you here?
You didn't eat breakfast when you have to work all day.
I made kimbap for you.
You didn't have to. I can grab anything for lunch.
It's not like my food.
Did you cry?
No. I got soap in my eye. I have to work. Go back.
Okay.
Don't work too hard. Or you'll be sick when you're old.
Oh, right, Mom.
What's this?
I got a handsome tip.
The interest is due next week. Use this for that.
Go back. I have to work. Go.
Okay. Come home early for dinner.
I'm to blame...
for her suffering hardships in a foreign land.
Esol, forgive me.
I told you not to touch there! Gosh!
I'm sorry. I'll be careful.
It's the certificate of appointment.
Lena Jeong... Does she come in today?
Yes. We negotiated salary. She'll start working from tomorrow.
Good.
You'll have a good judge of character at my age. She's something.
She'll be of great help to you. Handle her well.
Her ability is not proven yet.
We'll see if she'll be of help or an obstacle to us.
Darn you. That's a sickness you know, distrusting everyone.
Her eyes are alive. She's no ordinary woman.
That's what concerns me. She looks too ambitious.
Oh, I'm tired.
So tired from riding around in the car all day.
Unoccupied housewives are the problem.
Why do they have to drive around and block roads instead of keeping house?
Speak for yourself.
Why did you drive around all day? Did you go shopping?
Watch your mouth. I'm different from those lazy women.
I went around on business matters.
Business?
Yes.
Taesoo, take a look at this.
Mom and I went around our franchise restaurants from the morning.
Our restaurants? Why?
"Why"? Didn't Heera tell you anything?
Like what?
She promised me a branch. So we made on-site investigations.
Minjoon, which one will you give him? Yangjae? Chongdam?
Mom, I like the one in Uijeongbu.
Though it's far, it's crowded with customers. So...
Look, Gangnam is the best place to run a business.
Excuse me, I have a meeting to attend.
I'll talk to Stepmother later in private.
Stepmother?
She's been married to you for 30 years but he calls her stepmother?
This is why they say it's all in vain to raise stepchildren.
Mother, business is no picnic.
He failed enough businesses. Enough is enough.
- Changsoo. - Yes.
Take her home with you. Now.
Mom, let's go.
I'm not going anywhere.
What? Picnic? You can't do this to us.
The eldest son-in-law is like an eldest son.
And remember what you said?
You promised to let me live in luxury all my life if only I give Heera to you,
begging with your bald head on the ground.
But now you treat me like a fifth wheel?
I'm so resentful and bitter.
My precious daughter, Heera.
Come back home now. Oh, Heera.
Mom, stop.
Don't stop me.
Taesoo's gone.
Really?
You should've run the businesses well. How could you fail each time?
Yes. That huge pyramid was built from the bottom up.
I will go to the top starting today, on the fast track.
Beautiful. Just beautiful.
No matter how many times I look at her, she's beautiful.
I'm going to call her.
Why does she stay in Kaohsiung so long? Doesn't she think of me?
Darling, come back home quickly. I'm lonely.
Oh, Lena Jeong. Our new team leader.
Good morning. I came to say thank you.
Thank me?
I know I passed the interview thanks to your support.
I'll do my best not to disappoint you.
I have high hopes for you. Stick to your word.
Oh, right. This is my small gift to you.
What's this plant?
Could you taste it?
I'm not a goat...
You want me to taste it?
How does it taste?
Slightly bitter. It has an apple flavor.
Exactly. It's an apple mint.
I mixed it with yogurt and made a salad dressing.
My first new menu.
I knew I picked the right person.
You already started work, huh?
I wouldn't want to disappoint you.
I'll work hard.
Wait.
Are you photogenic?
[The Top Chef]
It's the most popular cooking show.
They invited us to appear on their show.
Chef Na, would you give it a try?
Well.
I'm not cut out for being on air but since it's a chance to advertise TNC, I'll do it.
Yes, you are.
If you appear on TV, there'll be a public frenzy about your beauty.
No way.
Since the recording is next week, I will think about a recipe.
I'll count on you then.
Mr. Chairman is here.
Sit down.
Ms. Jeong paid me a courtesy visit so I brought her here.
How are you?
Say hi to each other.
This is Ms. Lena Jeong, our new menu development manager.
Chef Na, do you remember her?
She saved your face the other day.
This is Ms. Jeong's new menu.
Taste it and learn from her.
Sure, I will.
Welcome, Ms. Lena Jeong.
Please take good care of me.
I should be saying that. Like the Chairman said, I should learn from you.
Oh, right. Weren't you in a marketing meeting?
Yes.
We were offered to appear on 'The Top Chef, ' huh?
Yes, so Chef Na will...
Let Ms. Jeong do it.
We've already made a decision on that matter.
Come on. Ms. Jeong is better than her both in appearance and ability.
Well? You can do it, right?
If you leave it to me, I'll do my best.
Ms. Jeong.
You joined the company today. I think you're unfit for the job.
Then let me compete with Chef Na.
We have to compete with other chefs anyways.
Let the winner compete with them.
This is why I trust you. She has a lot of guts.
Okay then, let's have a competition.
Calm down.
How dare she. Who does she think she is to appear on the show?
Don't let the chance go to her.
You came at just the right time.
Can we talk?
Who the heck are you?
Are you sure you worked in America? They said it's unascertainable.
How did you captivate the chairman?
Poor education and family background, no connections in this field.
Is it your body then?
What do you mean?
Don't play naïve.
That's the only means you have to captivate him.
Am I wrong?
The chairman sure has a good judge of character.
Why don't you just give up now?
If you appear on the show, you'll only bring disgrace to TNC.
What?
If you have a problem with me, protest with your ability.
I'll show you at the competition how I became the manager.
Is that wench for real?
Hello! I am Lena Jeong, your new manager.
Guess you heard of my face-off with Chef Na tomorrow.
I need your help. Can you give me your time?
I'm sorry I can't. I have a meeting this evening.
Me too.
How about you?
Sorry. I have to go on a business trip to Jejudo now.
Excuse me for leaving first.
Sorry.
I'm sorry.
Is this how Koreans lord it over outsiders?
Then let me compete with Chef Na.
We have to compete with other chefs anyways.
Let the winner compete with them.
As expected, she's too ambitious.
Mr. Park, I have a request.
I need additional team members by tomorrow.
My team members are not very cooperative with me.
I want people who know broadcasting.
Request denied. Because there will be no competition.
What do you mean?
I'll tell the chairman that you'll give up the competition.
Why should I do that?
Because it's my order.
Follow me.
What? Give up? Why?
What's the reason?
The truth is, Director Park told me...
She said she gets butterflies in her stomach in front of cameras.
Is that right?
Is it true? Ms. Jeong.
Answer him.
I'm sorry.
I thought you were gutsy but you're going back on your word?
Get out. How disappointing.
Why did you hire me? To make a fool out of me?
This is why TNC has made no progress.
If you needed a yes man to fawn over you...
instead of an able staff member, you should've picked a fool.
I'm really disappointed in you that you protect your own first.
What's wrong with you?
Lena Jeong. I don't care how you worked in America.
But you better keep this in mind if you want to work here.
This is Korea, not America.
In an organization, you should work in harmony with other staff.
So if you want to stand out, you may quit now. Otherwise, do as I tell you.
Chef Na is a founding member and representative chef.
If you want to represent TNC on TV, build up trust first,
before you mention your untested ability...
and make a headlong rush.
Do you understand?
What?
That cocky jerk.
That sassy...
I really feel sorry for Esol.
Since her father died when she was 17, she's done all sorts of work.
Girls of her age go to college and date boys but... I feel sorry for her.
Why do you let out such a deep sigh when you're only a kid?
I feel sorry for her too.
So I'm thinking...
Can you marry me to her early? I want to make her happy.
Alright.
I can do that.
But you wet your bed last night, didn't you?
You should at least be toilet-trained before you get married.
I'm sorry. I think it'll take some time.
So getting married is not easy.
Since you married twice, I thought it was easy.
Look, I married twice since marriage is not a joke.
My poor dad.
God, send my dad a good woman right now.
What are you doing there?
Dad, then she is...
Such a dowdy old woman is not my type.
What a surprise that a stingy man like you would treat us to pork.
It's for Esol. We need to comfort her with meat.
Right. She's so naive that she gave that jerk her heart.
Thank you. You are the best.
Hey, don't touch me. I've remained faithful to my wife.
Ha. You're perfect. Alright, I won't touch you. I'll elbow you then.
D-cup.
She's had them done. Natural boobs are so rare these days.
Hi, my precious daughter.
Dad, what are you doing?
What am I doing? I'm reading a dissertation.
It's on the correlation between female breasts and silicon.
This isn't time to read. I'm dying.
Come and help me, please!
Dying? Why? What's going on?
Mom is going to sell me to TNC Group by force.
Come and help me. I don't want to marry!
Yura, open the door.
Open the door. Open it!
Dad, you heard that, right? Please!
Yura, listen to Mom. If you don't, both you and I will be dead.
I'm hanging up. I love you. See you alive, okay?
- Dad. Dad? - Yura!
Get dressed. We have a dinner meeting.
I don't want to. I don't want to marry!
You're really... Just come out. Come out now!
Mom.
Sit down.
Do your face on like some decent lady.
No, I won't!
What? You won't?
No, I won't.
Look at me. I'm this young and pretty.
But you're telling me to marry and live like a prisoner.
Why? Why should I do that?
Why should I marry someone I don't love?
You're like a human trafficker to sell me for your hospital!
Right.
Take a close look. Like you said, you're young and pretty.
How long do you think that'll last?
Women are like Christmas cakes. Once you pass 25, you'll drop in value.
So I'm going to sell you at the highest price in your prime.
You're so...
What? Cruel?
There's a give and take in every human relationship.
Who's your life in luxury thanks to?
Yourself? No. It's thanks to me.
So you should pay me back.
If you don't want to, leave and stand on your own feet!
Oh, Yura.
My daughter.
Yura, I know you. You can't live without money.
I picked a perfect catch for you. Just listen to me, okay?
I'll take care of the rest. Okay?
Sorry I hurt you.
Come out if you're done putting it on.
Stay still.
Turn around.
No. Change into this. Come on.
You don't like it?
Handbag, shoes.
We bought everything.
No. That's nice. Come here.
Again?
Jaejoon, get ready to go out.
Can't you hear me?
What?
I made reservations at a restaurant. Get ready.
I have no appetite. Go alone.
You're so.
Please. I'm so hungry.
We didn't even have a meal together.
Come on.
What is it?
Nothing.
"Three lives." What is this? Three lives?
[A match made in heaven]
Get on.
Esol, are you okay now? Did you get over him?
Forget what I said.
I feel ashamed that I cried in front of you over nothing.
Okay! I'm proud of you!
Where are we going?
To the people who do care for you.
TEA!
Tea? What tea?
You're really ignorant.
I'll teach you an acrostic. Provide the letters.
T!
Though it's hard to get by...
E!
Endure it a little more.
A!
And drown our pain in drink!
Esol.
Not every day is a happy day but....
at least once a day, you can feel happy.
Right. And today we gathered around the table for you. Aren't we happy?
Exactly! I'm so happy, especially because of this pork!
Me too. I had a hard day today but now I'm so happy. TEA!
TEA!
We can't skip music at a time like this.
I'll play my dad's favorite song.
Yeah?
My daughter, the best daughter in the world.
I love you. And I'm sorry and thankful for everything.
Why did you order so many dishes? It's just the two of us.
This is the best restaurant in Kaohsiung so I ordered every dish.
Let's eat before they get cold.
Jaejoon, let's start with wine.
Sorry, I'm late again.
This is my daughter, the real Yura.
Mom.
You wouldn't have come with me if I had told you the truth.
We're just having dinner together.
Welcome, Yura. Have a seat.
Sit.
I'm sorry about the trouble I caused.
I had finals at that time and did you wrong. My apologies.
That's okay. Meeting like this makes it more precious.
Jaejoon, introduce yourself to her.
I'm sorry. I'm not feeling well. Excuse me.
Jaejoon. Why, that...
Eat first.
Okay.
Jaejoon. Jaejoon.
I did my job. And this is not my fault.
Jaejoon! Jaejoon!
Hey!
How could you behave this unmannerly? Go back in.
Jaejoon! You... My. What are you...?
You really won't listen to me? What's wrong with you?
Stop the car. Yura is waiting.
Are you going to just leave?
I'll take the first flight out to Seoul tomorrow.
I won't be your puppet anymore.
So don't tell me what to do with my life anymore.
What? Say that again?
I beg you. I'm not a child.
My life is my own. So if you love me, please leave me alone.
So what is your own life you're dreaming of?
I'll quit being a doctor and marry the woman I love when I want to.
Stop the car.
Can't you hear me?
- Mom! - Stop the car!
Stop the car. Just stop the car.
Stop the car!
Stop the car.
Mom! Mom!
Mom, where are you going?
Mom!
Mom, what's wrong with you?
Don't move. It's dangerous.
Stay back.
Mom.
Stay back!
Choose.
Whether you'll kill me and have it your way or whether you'll listen to me.
Men and racehorses are born with their fate predestined.
Since you were born to our family, you do not own your life.
You have to inherit the company...
and compete endlessly to remain in the top 1% of society!
But before you even start, are you telling me to let you give up and live as you like?
You are my only child.
I'd rather die here than see you live a second-class life.
So choose. Which is it?
Don't be unreasonable!
How could you make a deal with your son using your own life?
This is ridiculous!
Just answer.
Mom.
Alright. Live as you like. I'll have my own way too.
Mom, please don't!
Mom, please! Mom!
Mom, don't do this. Please don't do this to me.
My father went bankrupt when I was a junior in college.
We were kicked out on the street without a means of living.
As you know, my mother and my brother couldn't face up to difficulties,
so I had to support them.
I realized for the first time how terrible poverty is.
So I decided to marry your father...
who was rich but ignorant, and 18 years older than me.
Love? It's luxury for the poor.
You are the only reason I have lived this far.
I've endured everything to give you the best in the world.
Jaejoon.
Jaejoon, my son.
I love you.
You are my everything.
I'm so upset.
He thinks he's really great just because he has money.
Since when was he Chairman Park?
He was a mere odd-job widower renting a room in our house.
I gave him my precious daughter. Then he should crawl before me.
But what? "Enough is enough"? What have I done?
Mom, aren't you tired? You're like a broken record.
It's okay if I don't have a restaurant. I'm happy with the way I live now.
You fool! You're ignored since you are being this way.
Hurry, let's pack up.
Are we going on a trip?
Are we going to go to Hawaii and dance the hula? Oh, yeah!
Goodness... you halfwit. Heera is coming home tomorrow.
It's obvious Taesoo will try to soften us up, so we'd better flee?
Yes.
Let's leave home and demonstrate until he gives you a restaurant.
Mother, I'm back. Did you have dinner?
None of your business. Who cares if I ate or not...
Are you going somewhere?
A hotel.
This is for you.
I don't need it when I have nothing I can call my own.
Mom! This is your dream crocodile purse!
Crocodile purse?
Oh, so this is it.
The belly skin leather of a croc that was raised on marble...
to protect it from being damaged.
Let me try it outside.
Changsoo, please get a grip.
My head is already full of thoughts. Must you dance to her tune?
Please, act your age.
Sorry that I'm not of any help to you.
By the way, where's mine?
Hang it.
- You called, Mr. Park? - Yes.
I'm going over the other contestants' menus. They're quite original.
What menu did you prepare?
Spinach Pesto Penne.
It's our best seller and fits the well-being trend.
'Healing' is the big trend these days. Do you have something different?
Well, I don't have enough time to develop a new menu.
I see. Then let's go with your specialty.
Ms. Lena Jeong!
If you want to represent TNC on TV, build up trust first,
before you mention your untested ability and make a headlong rush.
Such a supercilious, self-righteous jerk.
Give it to me. Stop drinking. You'll get drunk.
Uncle.
Yes.
Guess what the best string to pull is.
Maybe a golden string?
It's a naval string.
A naval string?
If you were born to wealthy parents,
you can have the upper hand over others all your life.
Mr. Park thinks he got that position with his ability,
but it was impossible without his father's money.
Yet he thinks he's perfect.
What were your parents like?
My parents?
Yes.
Can't even remember now.
You know, I've been alone since I was eight.
So however hard I tried, I couldn't have what other kids took for granted.
New shoes? New books? New clothes?
And above all things, a happy family.
So I went to America but things were the same.
I thought my life would change with my effort,
but I was trampled again.
Is that why you're so desperate?
I don't have much time left.
I'm afraid my life will just end in misery.
I want to hurry and rise to the top...
where no one can dare to walk all over me.
Lena, you know what?
Make haste slowly. Draw back in order to make a better jump.
To succeed at TNC, you can't lose favor with Director Park.
If you can't beat him, win him over. That's how you can survive.
Spinach Pesto Penne.
This is too weak.
Isn't there an alternative?
This is why TNC has made no progress.
I'm really disappointed in you that you protect your own first.
No. She's too arrogant.
What were your parents like?
How dare you, wench!
Dad, please stop! You're going to kill Mom. Please stop!
Fire! Fire!
[A Family Killed In Fire In Eumseong, Choongbook]
Mom, Mom!
Just close your eyes.
Come with me. Let's die together!
No. I don't want to die, Mom. I want to live.
I will become rich. I don't want to die. I will live well-off...
Yes, Mom. I still want to live.
I want to live well-off.
I want to come into bloom like the Queen's Flower.
Yeah, one step back for two steps forward.
What are you doing here?
You scared me.
What is this?
Please taste it.
Go ahead.
How do you like it?
Couscous?
Yes. It's couscous with dried fruit flavored with orange and grapefruit.
What's the sauce?
Pineapple sauce. I named this "Couscous Healing Pasta" after the trend.
Is it a new menu?
No. It's the secret weapon I developed in the States.
Take this.
Why...
It'll be difficult for Chef Na to win with her menu.
Tell her to use this recipe.
Of course it's between you and me that I gave it to you.
I'm sorry about this afternoon. I was too rude.
As you advised me, I'll work in harmony with others.
Alright.
Oh. Can you assist Chef Na on the day of recording?
She's new to this recipe and might have difficulty.
Help her as her assistant.
With pleasure.
Thank you.
Assistant?
You think me a pushover, eh?
Okay, you'll see. I'll show you who I am.
Sometimes I don't know what to make of her.
Fiery and phlegmatic.
Which is her true color?
Is it really efficacious?
Of course.
It contains a strong antioxidant. You'll feel refreshed.
Isn't Heera coming back today? I bet you'll feel rejuvenated.
Really?
Man, people envy me that I live with a younger wife,
but they don't know me.
Fighting with the age is no joke.
What are you talking about? You look young.
Really? Maybe thanks to the shot.
Money can buy youth, huh?
How are you, Mr. Park?
Oh, Dr. Choi. I thought you'd come back today with Heera.
She wanted to travel with Jaejoon so I returned first.
Did she?
I want to invite my future in-laws to a sumptuous meal soon.
I'll treat you big since it's Yura's graduation.
- I'll look forward to it. - Sure.
- Take care. - Yes.
Yura really doesn't want to marry. Is everything okay?
The kids' opinions are not important.
We just need to work it out amongst ourselves.
They'll get engaged next month and married in the fall.
So look for a hospital site in Qingdao.
Why did you marry me when you're so ambitious?
You really don't know? As you said, it's because I'm ambitious.
What do you mean?
Women living with good husbands are so happy they even quit work.
Right.
But when I look at you I just want to work.
Is Room 3 ready? I'm coming now.
I'm going to work then. I'm so eager to work.
So obnoxious.
That's a talent. It's the first time seeing her in a week, but I'm already exhausted.
Yeah, when I look at you, I just want to work too!
Room 5? Is the patient ready?
- Welcome back home. - Hi.
Oh. What are all these flowers for?
Aren't they pretty?
Taesoo swept a vinyl greenhouse to please you.
Oh, Jaejoon! My precious grandson.
How was your trip? Good?
Yes, it was good. I bought a present for you.
Let me open it later.
I have a splitting headache and I'm about to faint.
Are you sick anywhere?
Can't you see the lilies around? Lilies are everywhere. Like bombs.
There's no remedy for ignorance.
The smell of lilies is pungent. Taesoo is bent on torturing me.
I need to lie down because of the headache.
Oh, headache.
Mom, you want to go shopping?
That makes me realize I'm home.
Honey! You're back.
Why did you stay there so long?
The house felt empty without you.
Sorry. I wanted to have some time alone with Jaejoon.
I'm getting jealous.
Now you turn your eyes on a young and handsome guy?
Sorry that I'm young and handsome.
What? You little villain.
I gave you my flesh and blood.
You're in a good mood today. Anything good happen?
Yes. Minjoon will make a big success this time.
Big success? How?
Come with me to the broadcasting station. I'll show you something.
Okay.
Taste it.
Fresh.
Smells good too.
You're amazing! How did you develop this in such a short time?
This is the difference between a fast talker and a genius.
It flashed across my mind as I studied all night.
I'm sure you will be the winner of 'The Top Chef.'
Uh oh. I might be late for the recording.
I'll go to a hair shop and head straight for the studio.
Get the ingredients ready and see you there.
Assist me well without a mistake.
Wait for me!
Genius?
Well, it's a talent to act like she really developed it.
Yes, this is...
Chef Na, this is urgent. There's a change in the recording time.
What? Recording time?
It was pulled two hours ahead. Come to Studio-A right now.
Hello? Hello?
How can I get hold of her?
No.
Perhaps this is a chance sent by heaven.
Chef Na!
Where is she?
Is there a problem?
I got a call that the recording was pulled two hours ahead.
What? She went to a hair salon. I'll call her.
What should we do?
Time is too tight.
We have to get a fill-in. I'll call the sous-chef.
Wait.
Where are we going?
You are the fill-in since you are the only one to make that pasta well.
No. I'm not ready for...
This is a big chance to advertise TNC. We can't blow it.
But...
Let's go and stand by. Hopefully Chef Na will come on time.
What?
Chef! We got a problem!
What is it?
The recording time was pulled ahead. We have to go now.
What? The recording?
Step on it. Pick up speed.
We're going at 100 km/h. I violated traffic signals over 10 times.
Doesn't matter. I must show up on time. Step on it!
Okay.
Are the props all set?
Yes.
What about the cast?
I'll check now.
I came.
I'm sorry. I forgot my cell phone.
Chef Na. Have some water.
Are you okay?
No problem.
Yes. I can do it.
My uniform. Where is it?
Why are you wearing my uniform?
Well...

Welcome to 'The Top Chef'!
Tomorrow, the world will remember my name.
Be my partner in achieving my dream.
The interview right after the accident. What perfect timing.
If it was all planned, they will not tell the truth easily.
I didn't ask you to bring this kind of money.
It's not hard for me at all.
Now we'll go steady with each other, right?
I guess so.
It's her keepsake to your mom.
Lena Jeong made a mistake.
You're more foolish than you look.
It's been a while since someone like her has shown up.
You think I'll be satisfied at that level?
