Are you okay?
Look here.
Episode 15
Please leave it. I can clean it up.
Are you an apprentice who works here?
Yes.
When I first started to learn about breads, I often burned them.
If I tried to make the bread a certain shape, and baked it for too long,
all the moisture would leave and it would burn.
Or, if I baked it for too short in a strong fire, the bread would collapse.
You must adjust the top and bottom flames according to the size of the bread.
But as a beginner, it's not easy to get it right.
Excuse me!
Then...
What should I do about bread becoming dry and flaky?
Well, you should add as much moisture back as what's been heated off.
Find out for yourself how to maintain that moisture.
Because only what you discover can really be yours.
Yes, I understand.
First...
You should clean your face.
But...
what is your name?
Just call me Mr. Kim.
That's fine.
Your gaze is very nice.
It makes me wonder what the bread you bake would taste like.
I'll be going now.
What you taught me today?
I will never forget it!
Thank you! You will be blessed, President!
Yes.
Thank you.
You were here, Il Jung hyung?
Yes, In Mok. I was on my way down.
Introduce yourself.
This is Geosung Foods President Gu Il Jung.
Hello.
He's Seo Tae Jo, who studied abroad in Japan,
and he is a famous boulangere for the next generation.
Oh, really.
Il Jung!
Please sit and drink something refreshing!
Thank you, but I must get going.
You're going already?
Why don't you see Father?
Seeing you is enough.
Anyway, I heard a competition starts tomorrow.
He must have a lot on his mind. It would be better not to bother him.
Still... I'm upset.
It's been a while since you've been here.
Will you be participating in the competition, too?
Yes, I will.
Do your best.
Yes. I will try my hardest.
Goodbye!
You came out earlier than I thought.
Teacher was a bit busy.
I will never forget it!
Thank you! You will be blessed, President!
How did that boy know to call me President?
Huh?
It's nothing.
I just met an amusing kid.
That person earlier...
The president of Geosung Foods.
Yeah.
What did you two talk about in the bakery?
We didn't talk about much.
I burned bread, fell, bumbled around.
I just showed myself being a mess.
You really didn't talk about much?
Yeah.
Why?
Nothing.
I was just curious.
He was really a great person.
Warm and caring.
It would be really great if that kind of person was your father, right?
Why?
You don't have a father?
Of course I do.
Although we parted a long time ago.
Why haven't you found him?
Next time.
When I've succeeded more than now, and I'm better off.
Then I'll go find him and say hello.
Why not now?
You don't have the confidence?
The last words my father said to me were,
"You're a very special son to me. "
But as you can see, I'm nothing right now.
Forget special, I'm not even average.
When I gain more confidence in myself...
Then I want to confidently approach him.
What kind of person is your father?
Your father is very proud of you, right?
I'm going to sleep. Don't talk to me.
Huh?
You're going to sleep already?
Did you forget the competition starts tomorrow?
Aren't you too relaxed for a kid who can't even bake properly?
Why would I be relaxed?
But, Seo Tae Jo...
Ah... punk.
Good night, man.
Will he even be able to enter the competition properly?
I heard he hasn't baked a single thing correctly.
He won't be able to even pass the first round and he'll definitely be eliminated.
But you know...
If it's that kid, I think he can do it.
What do you mean by that?
Isn't he the kid who raced here by only searching for his mom for 12 years?
Aren't you curious as to what other goals that sort of kid could race to next?
Doesn't he make you curious?
You say a similar thing to what Father said.
It's because I'm curious.
Success. Success!
I...
I'm curious as to what will happen to him next.
Is it really not possible? What's not possible?
Is it really not possible?
You can just do it. Right?
Positions!
Is everyone here?
Yes, Teacher!
Today is the first day of the competition, as promised.
I know you have contemplated this during the past week.
Those who would like to participate in the competition, take a step forward.
I told that punk...
Is it just the two of you?
Mi Sun, you too?
Yes, Grandfather.
I would like to receive recognition as a patissier from you and Father,
who only recognize boulangeres.
Mi Sun.
If I pass the competition to the third round,
please allow me to sell my whipped cream cakes in the store.
I will show you that I can be a Master Chef not just in bread, but in cakes as well.
This punk...
I understand.
That kind of challenge mindset is great.
Thank you, Grandfather.
Then...
Are these three people it?
A kid who doesn't even know how to bake bread is going to enter the competition?
A passing starling would laugh!
If bread was that easy to make at that level,
dogs and cows would make it.
Entering the competition at this state is conceited and reckless.
Reconsider it.
Forget beating Seo Tae Jo, will you even pass the first round?
Believe in yourself just a little more, Tak Gu.
It makes me wonder what the bread you bake would taste like.
Okay.
These people are the final contestants for the competition.
You, too?
Yes. I would like to participate in this competition, too.
I've never seen such an unbelievable guy.
You can't even bake properly,
how dare you try to compete in the teacher's competition?
I will do what I can.
You said a person without skill will be eliminated in the first round, anyway.
If you just give me the opportunity, although I may be eliminated,
I would like to try.
My goodness.
This is what I think, Teacher.
That kind of kid who doesn't know his position,
and messes around, should start from the bottom by washing dishes.
So now...
There are four final contestants?
Yes.
- In Mok. - Yes.
I will tell you the theme of the first challenge.
Make the most filling bread in the world.
I will give you 15 days. In 15 days, make what you think is the most filling bread.
Mom!
Yes, Ja Kyung.
Do you have an appointment with Father today?
No.
I have some other business to see to.
You take care of your business.
Madam.
You're here?
I didn't receive notice and was unable to meet you in advance.
I'm sorry.
No.
I suddenly changed my mind and came. It's fine.
But the President is out now.
You said you're Miss Shin?
May I ask you for a cup of coffee?
When you set down a teacup, don't let it make a sound.
I hate listening to it clanging crudely.
I'm sorry.
Sit.
Are you going to keep making me repeat myself?
I said sit.
Okay.
So let's hear it.
How did you bare your face and make it here?
What do you mean?
Who helped you get this far?
Were you still secretly meeting my Ma Jun?
Did you ask Ma Jun and grab an assistant position?
I didn't get this position that way.
Without anyone's help, I was accepted because of my skill and became an employee.
And I came to this assistant's office fairly, with my strength.
Fairly?
You didn't have anywhere else to go fairly, so it happened to be Geosung Foods?
It had to be Geosung Foods.
What?
Then I could show you properly.
That Shin Yu Kyung, who was kicked out of the hospital room like a criminal...
that Shin Yu Kyung, who was kicked out of her room and had nowhere to go...
what kind of girl she is.
What she can do if she puts her mind to it.
Still...
You should have checked to see if it was a place you could lay down,
before stretching out your legs!
Do you know what kind of place this is, for you to dare to take a spot here?
It seems like there are some things that seem to work,
even when someone like me tries.
If you have nothing else to say, I'll excuse myself.
Who said you could stand as you wish?
Rude.
I wasn't finished speaking, and you stand and turn your back to me?
I have work I must finish.
You're cocky because your face is decent and you're a bit smart,
but you're just an activists group alum who rents cheap rooms.
It means your intentions are obvious.
Ma Jun?
You dare to?
Stop dreaming.
I'll leave first.
Where's Manager Han?
He said he would stop by the General Affairs Department, then come upstairs.
I have something to talk to him about, so tell him to hurry and come up.
Yes.
Fate is no longer on your side.
Manager Han, Madam is waiting inside.
Okay.
What brings you here, Madam?
I heard you were looking for me.
No, it's nothing.
The only people who were there that night are you and me.
The only people who also know what happened that night are you and me.
Don't think of me as the same Han Seung Jae of ten years ago.
Don't underestimate me anymore, In Sook.
What's wrong?
Did something happen?
No.
It's nothing.
Fate is no longer on your side.
That person...
How? Why?
What are you staring at dumbly?
What the heck is the most filling bread in the world?
Does it mean the biggest bread in the world?
If that's what you think, then that must be the answer.
Don't be like that, just give me a hint.
Grandfather already gave us the hint.
Make what each of you think is the most filling bread.
The answer is to make what you think is the most filling bread.
So what is that?
Thinking of that answer is the point of this challenge.
All those participating in the competition, to your positions.
Positions!
This is your budget for the ingredients to be used in the first round.
I gave you all the same amount.
Excuse me.
If we run out, can we use our own money?
That is not allowed.
Then it cannot be a fair competition.
The ingredients and receipts will be checked each day by Gap Soo, Jin Gu, and I.
If we find you've secretly used ingredients from the supply room or purchased more,
you will immediately be disqualified.
Additionally...
You must not slack off on your daily work while you're in the competition.
If you slack off on bread to be sold in the store because of the competition,
that will also be reason for disqualification.
You must all keep this in mind. Understand?
Yes, we understand!
He's so cheap.
50,000 Won for fifteen days worth of ingredients?
Why? Is that not enough?
And then we have to work as usual.
When are we going to make the competition bread?
Why? Is there not enough time?
Make the bread in the given time, while limiting your budget.
That's what it is.
Anyway, it's not an easy test.
Of course it's not easy.
I heard not even ten people have received my grandfather's certificate of recognition.
Then Gap Soo ajusshi hasn't received the certificate of recognition either?
I don't think so...
Oh, really?
So if I receive the certificate of recognition,
I'll be one step above Gap Soo ahjussi?
Wow!
I'm going to head in now. I need to prepare the dough.
I'm going to buy my ingredients.
But, Mi Sun...
How much flour do I have to buy for fifteen days worth?
You have a long way to go.
A long way to go.
What are you doing now?
Nothing. It's nothing.
The most filling bread in the world...
What the heck is that?
I don't get it.
What now?
How is our famously scary teacher like a toothless tiger...
when it comes to a kid like Tak Gu?
With this test too!
How could he allow a lousy kid who can't even bake...
to participate in the competition, right?
Father must have his reasons.
This is what I think, In Mok.
Teacher is now getting too old.
The day for him to think about retiring soon...
will never come, right!
Teacher will stay by our side forever, right?
Eat up.
Tae Jo!
You've been practicing until now?
Come eat some watermelon.
It's fine. I'll head up now.
Wow, Tae Jo's practicing like crazy.
He's risking that much of his life on this competition.
So you two focus and do it right, got it?
Yes.
Anyway, it seems like Tak Gu isn't practicing at all.
Is he making the bread for the day of the competition?
I don't know.
What is he thinking?
We have prepared the car, President.
Can you escort me today, Miss Shin?
You're friends with Ma Jun?
No.
I haven't met him since college, President.
Is it you?
That activist friend that Ma Jun asked me to help two years ago?
Yes. It should be.
I see.
If you really came all the way here with Ma Jun as your goal,
stop now.
If you submit your resignation, I will compensate you as much as you ask.
I'm sorry, sir.
Gu Ma Jun and I have no connection. Why must I keep hearing his name?
Why must I keep receiving such treatment because of that name?
Because Madam thinks that way.
I'll give you a month, so think about it carefully.
My wife thinks of my son in a most special way.
Although she may say some harsh words, don't take it to heart.
Yes, President.
Really?
It's really Shin Yu Kyung?
I wasn't sure at first, but Manager Han said so.
That it is Shin Yu Kyung.
Mom already came to the Assistants Office today and threw a fit.
I see.
Mom, how could she?
She shouldn't do that at the office, right?
More than that, why did that Shin Yu Kyung girl have to come to our company?
I don't know, either.
I haven't met her once since then.
Anyway, Mom is and always has been too much.
Don't you agree, Unni?
It's true, but there's always been a reason when she acts that way.
What do you mean?
To be honest, that Shin Yu Kyung girl bothers me.
So don't call Ma Jun and tell him any nonsense. Got it?
Huh? Okay.
[Seo Tae Jo]
[Yang Mi Sun]
[Sodium Bicarbonate]
Then shall I begin baking some bread today?
Who is it?
Is someone there?
What's that?
Sodium bicarbonate.
What are you doing there?
Oh, Seo Tae Jo.
I thought I heard something, so I came in and this was here.
[Pal Bong Bakery]
Seo Tae Jo. Your dough is doing that too?
Your dough is like that too?
Oh, geez...
Mi Sun. Is your dough like that too?
The dough is completely dead. It won't rise at all.
What happened?
Maybe someone added something?
Someone added something?
There's no smell or taste...
there's no doubt, it's that.
That?
What's that?
Since long ago when apprentices got in trouble and kicked out,
it was a nasty joke to tick off the managers.
It was mixing sodium bicarbonate into the flour.
Sodium bicarbonate?
Flour mixed with sodium bicarbonate won't rise.
In other words, it's dead flour.
Then, do you mean we won't be able to ever use this flour?
What's going on?
Father, I think someone put sodium bicarbonate in their flour.
The flour of these three contestants of the competition is unusuable.
What?
I suspect it's a dirty trick by someone blinded by desire to win the competition.
It's true.
This is a foul caused deliberately by someone.
So you'll give us additional funds for the unusuable flour... right, Grandfather?
You'll give it to us... right, Grandfather?
There are no additional funds.
Take it from the budget that was already given to you.
But Grandfather!
There's not enough money left for additional ingredients!
It's your responsibility for failing to protect it!
So give up your hopes for additional funds.
Which jerk did this?
Filling bread, filling bread...
The most filling bread in the world...
That's bread you eat when you're hungry.
They say hunger is the best sauce.
I can't starve Teacher Pal Bong before he eats my bread.
Seo Tae Jo, are you already done practicing?
What are you doing?
I told you myself not to hold back, but I didn't know you'd do this.
- Now I'm starting to get nervous. - What are you talking about?
The sodium bicarbonate in the flour, that was you, right?
What?
You were caught by me at the scene that morning!
Am I wrong?
I don't know what you've misunderstood, Seo Tae Jo...
but I didn't do anything and I wasn't caught for anything!
- So let go of this hand! - Kim Tak Gu!
Is this all you are?
The type who lacks skills and resorts to this trickery?
- I said, let go of this hand, Seo Tae Jo! - It's two years!
I waited two years for this competition!
I threw away two years of my life to go against trash like you, you son of a beggar!
But you screw me over like this?
What? Son of a beggar?
Did you just call me a son of a beggar?
Yeah, you dirty son of a beggar!
What's that noise?
Is the house falling apart?
What do we do? They must be fighting!
Stop it.
Stop.
I won't say who is more at fault.
Whoever started it, whoever was wrong first,
since a fight occurred, you are both responsible!
As punishment, both of you are forbidden from the bakery for one week.
But Father...
There are only 12 days left until the first round.
If they cannot enter the bakery for one week,
that means they must prepare for the competition in the remaining five days.
Yes, Teacher.
It's too unfair.
Then, is it fair not to take responsibility for your faults?
But the competition is almost here! I waited two years for it.
If the competition was that important, you should have acted more carefully!
And you, Tak Gu...
Is it true you were holding sodium bicarbonate in the supply room?
But I didn't put sodium bicarbonate in the flour.
I didn't know at all that if you put sodium bicarbonate in the flour, it won't ferment.
But you were seen in a situation that puts you in suspicion...
and three other people, excluding you, have unusable flour.
How can I get rid of that suspicion? I will do everything you say.
Can you give those three people money for their flour out of your budget?
Huh?
But Teacher, then I won't even have 20,000 Won left.
Are you telling me to give up the competition?
If you cannot give them the money, those three people may be eliminated.
What will you do?
Even if you receive suspicion,
will you have three people eliminated, and continue the competition?
Or will you reimburse the cost of the flour for those three people?
Doesn't this mean that the competition's over for the two of them?
Yeah. The situation's gotten really nasty.
Well, Tak Gu committed a crime, but it's unfortunate for Tae Jo.
We're not even totally sure that Tak Gu added the sodium bicarbonate.
And if Tak Gu's not the real criminal, it's really unfair for him too.
Oh, my goodness.
How did this happen?
What are you planning on doing?
What do you mean?
Before they make bread, I'm trying to make them people.
But if you forbid them from the bakery for a week,
aren't Tak Gu and Tae Jo forced to give up the competition?
If they are going to quit because of that, that's all they are.
Father...
Let's wait and see.
This is another technique in holding the competition.
[Sodium Bicarbonate. 150 Won]
Total 25,800 Won.
[Total 150 Won]
You must be going somewhere.
Then what are you up to at this time?
I stopped by because I was worried something was wrong.
I couldn't reach you ever since that day at the office.
How did you take care of that girl, Shin Yu Kyung?
Did you kick her out of the Assistants Office?
I told her so she would understand.
I'm not satisfied with only telling her so she would understand.
Definitely draw the line.
Madam.
You said you're changed now.
You said you're not the same Han Seung Jae of ten years ago.
Then clearly show me your changed self.
You know more than anyone else how many things were ruined...
because of your petty sympathy.
So crush this as a sprout.
Got it?
From my desk...
was it you who took that letter?
Were you the one who took it?
What letter?
Why? Was there a letter I shouldn't have seen on your desk that day?
If it's not you, forget it.
You said it, right?
That only you and I know what happened that night.
So, I wonder.
Who could have known and sent that blackmail letter?
And for two years now, why haven't you found a clue as to who sent it?
Or... are you deliberately not finding out?
I'm sorry.
But I'm not the kind of woman you can hold in your hand with that sort of method.
If you were hoping that I would be scared by that and hang to you more,
that's a huge mistake.
Are you suspecting me?
Are you thinking I sent you that letter?
Of course, I hope that it's not you.
Why?
Is there something you need?
May I have a glass of water?
Here you go.
I'm thinking of acting slowly with President Na.
Will that be okay?
Have you been well, Madam?
What's the reason for asking to meet so suddenly?
We must recollect the funds we gave you when you bought your stocks.
Look here, President Na.
What kind of situation is this? Without a warning or notice?
Didn't we lend it to you in the first place stating two years?
We agreed at the settlement to extend the time!
I'm sorry, but we cannot extend the time anymore.
We're in an urgent situation.
Are you really going to do business this way?
If you don't have the cash, we can accept the stocks that you have.
It seems like monsoon season will arrive soon.
This year's monsoon season seems like it will be quite long.
What's up with you?
Just because. I was curious if you're doing well.
Did Mom send you?
No, that's not it!
You should order something.
No, thanks.
Is something wrong?
Your face seems a bit...
It's none of your business.
Just tell me what you want.
What are you doing here?
Ma Jun, you're not still meeting Shin Yu Kyung, right?
What do you mean?
Why suddenly Shin Yu Kyung?
Did you hear some news?
To be honest...
Yu Kyung is working at Father's Assistants Office.
What?
You didn't know at all?
Jin Gu hyung.
What's wrong?
Do you know Geosung Foods Manager Han?
He said it's the money that person gave him.
Putting the sodium bicarbonate in the flour, and leaking the gas two years ago...
That was all his work.
Tak Gu, you decide what you're going to do now.
I'm going to do as you say.
If you tell me to kill him, I'll kill him.
Jin Gu hyung.
And if you tell me to drag him in front of the Pal Bong family,
and expose everything he's done, I will.
Then you can prove your innocence.
Everything that's happened can return to its rightful place.
What would you like to do?
You can't.
Please, just don't do that.
Tak Gu, I was wrong.
I was really wrong.
I was so blinded by money.
I was tempted when he said he could give me my own store.
That's why you did it.
Still...
How could you do that?
How could you do that to a person for money?
What if I had gone blind?
What if I had died?
I deserve to die, Tak Gu.
Please spare me once.
Consider it saving my life and forgive me once.
If the Pal Bong family finds out the truth, there's no doubt I'll be kicked out.
Then I have nowhere to go, Tak Gu.
I have nowhere to go but here!
Instead of here...
What are you going to do?
Do you know what this competition means to me?
Get up.
What are you going to do?
Tak Gu.
Hurry and get up!
Hurry up and get up!
Tak Gu!
Spare me once!
Forgive me once!
Tak Gu!
Long time no see, Gu Ma Jun.
Let's go in.

I'm here to see Manager Han Seung Jae.
If you can last for three days without taking off that rope for one moment,
I will remove my forbiddance from the bakery.
Mother. Mother!
What you fear most is me going up to President...
and revealing my identity, isn't it?
