Look at you. Don't drop things during the contest.
Da Woon, can you bring me some water?
You're nervous, huh? Okay.
Here you are.
Thanks.
Joon Young, something wrong?
I couldn't sleep well last night.
I'm late. Can you clean it up for me? Sorry.
Do your best. Don't get nervous, okay?
Episode 18
Do Yoon.
Hi.
You can take whatever you like.
It's not that.
By the way, why are you here?
What is this?
Knives.
I mean, my present.
Hey, this is very pricey!
Is something wrong with you?
I'm late.
I'll give you a ride.
No. I'm supposed to go with Ms. Baek.
Bye.
Take this with you.
Next time.
But next time...
I won't be here.
How are you?
Are you gonna compete with your head down?
Aren't you awfully sorry to me?
Are you deflating her or what?
If you make any mistakes because you're sorry, I won't forgive you.
Okay.
Sounds so complicated.
Is it out of anger or concern for her?
Let's go.
What's wrong with you all of a sudden?
Please listen to me.
Who are you talking to?
It's nothing.
Is there any problem?
No.
I'll go first.
It's the list of the judges but uh...
Speak clearly. What are you saying?
It's the judge list but there're some bad rumors so I'm checking into it....
Take it. Wait here.
I missed you, but I left you alone because of the competition.
You can do well, right?
Seems you were too nervous to sleep well.
You look gaunt.
People might misunderstand you.
A host member and a participant together ahead of the contest?
I'm just concerned.
I'll leave first.
Okay. Good luck!
Good luck to you too.
Thanks.
Do you still like In Joo?
Your eyes look all dreamy, watching her back!
You were with her for ten years!
What was it again? Bad rumors about a judge?
Oh.
We got a tip-off regarding an alleged lobbying, but it's not verified yet.
What are you talking about? The contest is about to start.
Check it now!
Don't be nervous.
The First In-Flight Korean Meal Contest will begin now.
The hall is filled with excitement.
Out of 200 participants in the preliminaries,
these five teams made it into the finals.
Let me introduce the five finalists.
Divine Taste by Divine Hand,
Team Ha In Joo of Arirang!
Master Hand that Impressed Master Cooks,
Team Koh Joon Young of Sanarei!
A palate shaped by experience.
Team Shim Seung Yun of Chongmook!
Servantship in the Kitchen,
Team Kim Yun Soo of Manarim!
The team with sublime taste!
Team Lee Seung Hee from Herimdang!
And now,
we will begin the exciting contest.
How about watching the contest before you leave?
Not curious if Joon Young can carry off safely?
Somebody will fetch you at the airport.
Put off the flight.
Haemil!
I need to check something. I'll call you back.
Well, since you've advanced to the final with difficulty
I hope all of you perform at the peak of your abilities.
Who are you looking at?
Watch...how good your daughter is doing.
I see Ms. Koh Joon Young who we've seen before on TV.
I'm really looking forward to the outcome of this contest.
Is it confirmed for sure?
Let's go.
You have 30 minutes left.
Oh. Seems Sanarei's Ms. Koh got too tense.
Are you okay?
Yes.
You have 10 minutes left.
Every participant, make sure you keep the time limit.
You okay?
Joon Young, are you okay?
Help her up.
I feel sorry about Ms. Koh.
She is leaving the stage.
Is it true Judge Kim had a meeting with a participant before the contest?
Yes. I just checked it.
How could you check it at this belated hour?
You want me to call her out now?
In the middle of the competition?
Wait till the competition is over.
I'll meet her before the judges make a decision.
Mr. Choi, there's an accident.
Accident? What accident?
Sanarei's Ms. Koh Joon Young...
Something happened?
There was an accident.
Accident? Who?
Tell me who!
Is it Joon Young?
Just get lost!
How serious is it? Answer me now!
We'll announce the winner of the grand prize.
The winner of the grand prize captivated the taste of the in-flight world...
Ms. Ha In Joo of Arirang!
Congratulations! Please give a big applause to her.
Mr. Yoon, the Chairman of Korean Gourmet Association
and the Vice Chairman of Woori Airlines, will award the prize.
How can you not know where she is when she left during the contest?
The winner of the grand prize captivated the taste of the aviation world...
The person you have reached is not available...
Comb through all the hospitals in Seoul and find Ms. Koh.
Mobilize the police if needed!
Where is she?
I don't really want to tell you.
Where the heck is she!
If you want something from me, be respectful first.
How dare you yell at me?
I'm asking you for the last time. Where is she?
If you really want to know, ask me politely.
Please, I beg you.
All right if you beg me.
It's Kyongeui Hospital.
I didn't tell anyone...
She went to sleep after receiving the IV.
She was in great shock. Let her sleep.
You're so anxious. But you let her receive a ring from another guy?
No one knows she's in this hospital.
You know what I mean.
Bye.
Go home and get some rest.
No. I only feel slightly dizzy.
I'll be okay.
I'm really okay.
You may leave me alone.
Can I leave the prize here?
It's your prize. Place it in your cooking studio.
Okay.
Oh Master...
Grandma.
What happened to Joon Young? An accident?
I don't know for sure.
She was strange from the beginning.
I should've asked her.
How serious is it? How's her condition?
Seol Hee took her, but didn't answer her phone.
It's me. Where are you?
Congratulations. Arirang won.
That's not important now.
How is Joon Young?
The burn on her leg is not serious. We'll see the progress.
Where's the hospital?
I'm sorry, she needs complete rest.
I have a meeting. I'll hang up.
How rude!
She's not in a serious condition. Don't worry too much.
Seems she's not badly injured. Let's wait and see.
The In-Flight Korean Meal Contest.
The Grand Prize Winner, Ha In Joo.
Your food will now represent Korean food on planes in flight.
Good job.
You really did a good job.
I heard the news. Congrats.
How fast.
Remember the PR broadcast you asked for the other day?
I got the approval.
You woke up?
Don't worry.
Guard against infections, and it won't leave a scar.
Where are you going?
I have to go.
I didn't finish my dish.
My master said she wouldn't forgive me if I make a mistake.
I must complete it.
Wake up. The competition's already over.
I messed it up.
I totally blew it.
Thank you.
What about In Joo?
She won.
How did you know I was here?
Seems Ms. Baek thinks me as your close friend.
I need to call my dad. My cell phone.
Oh.
I'll call him for you. What's his speed dial number?
So stubborn.
Waited long? You should've made an appointment.
Where is Joon Young?
What would you like to drink?
Ms. Baek.
Isn't my master upset?
You should've clearly ended the relationship.
Why did you hide Joon Young?
Because of you.
You're the reason.
Do you think it was just an accident?
It wasn't?
Joon Young suffers the consequence of your reckless love.
I need to see her.
I'm her guardian. You can't see her till she gets well.
Fine. I'll find her myself.
What's serious is her hand paralysis, not the burn.
You know how important a hand is to a cook.
Is it because of the accident?
No. It started before the contest. And it caused that accident.
How come?
Who knows?
Someone might have wished her to fail in the contest.
Are you saying someone hurt her on purpose?
Whether or not it was done on purpose or not,
you are the source of her suffering.
Leave her alone till her hands are healed.
If you care for her at all.
Joon Young suffers the consequence of your reckless love.
Joon Young
Sorry for causing you to worry. I'm fine.
I need some time.
Please don't tell anything to my dad. Sorry.
Thank God that you weren't seriously injured.
I'll put in a good word to your father.
Don't worry. Just take care of yourself.
That's all.
Thank you.
I need to sleep now.
You can go.
I have nowhere to go.
I quit Arirang.
I have no energy to play with you.
Thanks for today.
Okay. Sleep.
Did you drink?
No. I had lots of work today.
Joon Young was...
She called me. I heard she totally blew it.
She told me to leave her alone since she's in a bad mood.
Father, what was she like when little?
Joon Young?
She was like what she is now. Strong and stubborn.
She smiled a lot.
She smiled even when I scolded her, so I thought she was a slow.
Right.
She's strong, stubborn, and laughs a lot.
She was like that when I first met her in Woodo.
But she tells lots of fibs just like me.
Don't take them at facial value.
She doesn't smile because she's all so happy.
Knowing that she's adopted,
she was afraid of being abandoned again.
Though she was young, she knew how to feel out a situation.
Don't hurt her.
I'll go get changed.
Don't forget how many people were hurt because of you.
Joon Young is not an exception.
Whether or not she did it on purpose,
you are the source of her suffering.
I thought you were sleeping.
I woke up.
I kept dreaming curious dreams so I felt dizzy.
Dreams?
Joon Young...was crying before me.
I tried to comfort her, but she kept crying.
It broke my heart so bad even in the dream.
Why don't you visit her if you're that worried about her?
She might feel uncomfortable to see me.
I'll ask around how she is tomorrow.
She must be hospitalized in Seoul. It'd be easy to locate her.
This is scorched-rice water.
Arirang's scorched-rice water is the best.
How about we apply for a patent for this?
You didn't have dinner, did you?
Of course I didn't.
Do you have some for me?
Just one minute, please.
It's no use doing this.
Get engaged to In Joo.
Is it because you want to stop me from seeing Joon Young?
Or is it because you want to marry me to In Joo?
If it's the former, don't worry.
I don't even know her whereabouts.
I am to blame for it.
I'd better leave her in peace. I won't call her.
What do you mean you're to blame for it?
The exact cause is unknown but...
she has a neuritis caused by an external infection.
Her temporary motor disorder and paralysis are curable through treatment,
but in her case, psychological factors can affect her condition.
Joon Young's Royal Court Rice Pasta
Joon Young, you messed it up.
Joon Young!
Fun, huh?
It's not fun. Stop.
Stop. I'm gonna really get mad.
Then catch it. I'll keep throwing till you catch one.
Please.
Please stop.
Sorry.
You okay?
Get out.
People might think you're hit by a stone. Such a crybaby.
Stop! Get out. Get out! Just get out!
Clean up the mess you made.
When there was an extreme drought,
only the water in the valley of this hill didn't run dry.
So people came to this place, and the first Master Chef,
Kim Bok Sung prepared food and fed people of both high and low status.
It means a hill, which suggests it's beneficial
because it guides the flow of water.
Since then people called this place has been known where the beneficial water flows.
All the Master Chefs inherited and developed Arirang's own cuisine.
With its 100 years of tradition,
Arirang is now led by the 4th Master Chef Sung Do Hee.
Right after Ms. Sung became the Master Chef 22 years ago,
her family moved to the U.S.
Master Chef Sung returned to Korea before long,
and Ms. Ha In Joo returned in 12 years.
Her brother In Woo is still in Chicago.
A happy family suddenly departs to the U.S.?
There must be something.
What on earth happened to them?
This food was originally served as a soup or a stew.
I modified it to be served with toppings in the In-Flight Meal Contest.
The dish contains medical herbs for the passengers' health.
Now we're gonna shoot kitchen scenes.
Behave naturally as usual.
I'm making a time-honored food,
Mung Bean pancake.
I use red chili to garnish.
Roll it up and put it like this.
It usually comes out nicely but today, it's a bit...
This is fried glutinous rice cracker. Sweet and crunchy.
Slightly roll it again, and...
- Jang Mi So. - Yes?
Cleanliness is a must in the kitchen.
A cook must know the ABCs of the kitchen.
Cut!
Do you speak that way usually?
No. I'm quite reserved. That's why.
Oh come on. Give me a break.
Hey! So you should've done it right from the start!
How come you can't do anything right?
Do it right. Please.
I already made clear I don't need a joint manager.
Yeah. I accepted it.
Thanks to your daughter, I guess Arirang will soar high from now on.
How's Joon Young?
Curious?
Answer me. Is she alright?
You answer first.
She even took away Jae Ha from In Joo.
How could you be this generous to her?
Because she's my pupil.
That's all?
What do you want to say?
You've violated the moral laws of family and deceived us for 22 years.
You want to accuse me of murder too?
Keep playing innocent, huh?
The feature and the temperament...
She's nothing like you at all.
What are you talking about?
Don't even listen to her.
Ms. Baek seems very tired today.
What is it?
They asked if they can interview you.
I'll stay out. You're doing good.
I'll say so then.
What a combo. A perfect combo.
Twenty-two years ago...
something must've happened before they left for the U.S.
Even if I have to comb through the police records, I...
Ms. Baek.
What is it?
Have a seat.
Did you come hurriedly to say something to me?
Your words to my mom...
What were you trying to say?
Well? What did I try to say?
I'm gonna look into it from now on.
Your mom will keep pretending to be innocent, so I'll have to find it out myself.
So what is it?
The reason you don't resemble your mom at all.
She does not know.
What?
If you're trying to talk about me...
My mom thinks I'm her real daughter.
Are you asking me to believe that?
What brought you here?
Is she nuts?
How come a mom doesn't recognize her own child?
It's not that she doesn't recognize me, she doesn't want to accept the truth.
She blames herself for the death of In Joo.
The real Ha In Joo was dead?
Yes.
My mom is sick.
If she finds out everything, she might not live.
Please pretend not to know just this once.
Of course, I can't torture my friend to death.
But you know what?
I've met an amazing person not too long ago.
She has no memory of her childhood.
But she remembers the exact taste of what she ate when she was little.
The brain cannot remember, but the tongue does.
For instance, the taste of rainbow rice-cake...
Was that why...
you put Joon Young in that state?
Don't tremble though.
I didn't make up my mind on how I'm gonna deal with this nonsense.
I am Ha In Joo.
She lived as In Joo only for four years.
All she did was playing cute before she was gone.
I've created In Joo.
I studied hard and gave myself over to cooking.
I've made Ha In Joo!
Even if the real In Joo comes back, even if you trouble me,
I won't lose my position.
Are you shacking up?
With you? I'm not crazy.
You don't really go to work?
I already said I quit.
Why?
To leave.
Leave for where?
Where I was.
- Get well soon so I can leave. - You can leave.
I'll leave when you're well again.
It's none of your business.
When you're bored, play with this.
Your hands will come around if you keep moving them.
Thank you.
Yes, Da Woon.
I'm doing okay. I was a bit busy.
Are you suddenly dying to work or what?
The new project revolves around honorary ambassadors for Korean Food.
Collect promotional event-related data.
The profiles of honorary ambassador candidates are in the back.
Double-check the info.
Turn in your report by Wednesday.
Hello?
Just answer my questions.
Pardon?
Is Mr. Choi working hard?
Yes.
He doesn't go out of the office?
No. He sparkles as always.
I'll let you know right away if there's any trouble.
You're overdoing it.
I sparkle always?
How did you know?
Such a clumsy spy.
Yes, Choi Jae Ha speaking.
How did you know my number?
We're the same age, and we fought.
Let's drop the honorifics.
Here's Joon Young's room number.
There are guards blocking the door.
Call me before you come.
Who are you?
Are you related to Ms. Baek?
I told her I'm Joon Young's lover.
With guards and a lover... Seems she's doing okay.
Thanks for the info.
Are you going back to In Joo?
Is two-timing your specialty?
If it's not that, visit Joon Young.
Be thankful that this is my workplace, and I'm a civil servant.
Are you employed here?
Please throw this into a trash can.
Good service.
Look at In Joo. Really amazing.
She focused on cooking even in that chaos.
That's why she won the grand prize.
Right, huh?
She's like a machine.
Handling a knife like this... How is it possible?
You're back.
We're watching the video to write up the accident report.
Move over.
Who knows?
Someone might have wished Joon Young to mess up the contest.
Ms. Baek Seol Hee
Yes?
I've made up my mind to go with you.
Knowing everything, you'd still help me?
The world should be fair.
My son can't come back to me.
It'd be unfair if Do Hee gets her child back.
It'll be impossible to cook for some time.
When you were at Sanarei, Jae Ha was here.
He left this for you.
Are you sure you're doing okay?
Yeah, but somehow I can't see anything.
Hold on. Geez.
You should take this off. Like this.
Joon Young, it's me!
Father, I'm ready. Hurry, start recording me.
This is a coaching clinic for Ms. Koh Joon Young who will have her contest tomorrow.
Watch carefully and make sure you don't get nervous or make a mistake tomorrow.
Well, I'll start it now.
First, pick a clean potato...
Jae Ha, be careful not to cut yourself.
Don't worry.
Well.
You're so handsome.
What's this?
Father, look at this!
What's this?
A heart.
Geez, I knew it. Are you that happy whenever I do something for you?
Do you know how pretty you are when you're cooking?
You want to take a look?
This is Choi Jae Ha.
Are you with Joon Young?
What are you talking about? She's not in the hospital?
She's gone.
Hello?
Pick it up.
Scared of a knife and run away? And you call yourself a cook?
Pick it up now.
I can't.
No.
I can't.
Get a grip.
Don't think about anything. Just focus on keeping in tune with me.
One mistake will cut our fingers. Do you understand?
I can't.
Get a grip!
