(Episode 34)
Mr. Kang, what are you doing there?
Chief Director, what brings you here?
I asked first...
what Mr. Kang was doing here.
Well...
Like I told you before, I'm preparing to open a franchise.
I don't know much about cooking,
so I asked Ms. Eun to help me.
Anyway, why are you here at this hour?
It's a positive report about the beef noodles.
I dropped by to give it to you.
You could've given it to me tomorrow at work.
It's good news, so I wanted to let you know as soon as possible.
- I'll get going. - Bye.
See you tomorrow. Drive safely, Sir.
You should go back in.
She's a funny woman.
I came all the way here for her. She could've at least offered me tea.
She even fed him food. Since when were they so close?
What are you doing, Woo Hyuk?
Why are you being so childish?
He wouldn't have misunderstood our relationship, right?
What do you mean?
The chief director might not understand this situation.
He doesn't know we're friends, but I'm here teaching you how to cook.
I don't know what he'll think.
Should we have told him that we're neighbours?
I don't think we need to tell him before he asks.
Oh, whatever.
By the way, tell me. How did it taste?
- It's delicious. - Really?
But you shouldn't trust me because I'm not a gourmet.
Last time, you even gave me the idea to use bean sprouts.
That was a huge help.
You're right.
I'm sorry, Chief Director. I didn't see you come out.
What was that?
Nothing, Sir.
Let me see.
What were you looking at?
It's a recipe book.
B. U.
B. U.?
Is this Ms. Eun's?
Yes, Sir.
Since when were you two so close?
Pardon?
Yesterday, it looked like you've known each other for a long time.
She even gave you her recipe book.
It's not like that, Sir.
She lent it to me so I can use it as a reference.
People who cook don't usually lend their recipe books to others.
Ms. Eun must think highly of you.
I'll start the car, Sir.
Grilled cow stomach as a side dish?
Yes. I conducted surveys at several restaurants,
and the result showed that we lacked side dishes for drinks.
Tripe got the most votes from the customers.
Tripe is the best side dish when you drink alcohol.
But tripe is very difficult to supply.
That's why I'm thinking of using the stomach part to replace tripe.
Plus, some people don't eat tripe.
Grilled cow stomach sounds good.
Did you make a sauce that goes with it?
It's not complete yet.
Let's taste it. I'm curious.
I'll have it ready in the lab this afternoon.
The renewed interior design looks good.
Thank you, Ma'am.
Did they start renovating?
Yes, I'm usually at the restaurant in the afternoon.
I'm treating you to a nice meal since you're working so hard.
- Woo Hyuk treats me often. - Does he?
By the way, Woo Hyuk.
You should've bought shoes that suited Chae Rin.
- She chose them herself. - What?
I only have fancy shoes, so I told him I wanted simple ones.
I see.
If that's what you wanted, I'm fine with that. Please eat.
Thank you.
That's Mr. Kang and Ms. Eun.
Since when did they become so close?
Don't they look really close?
I've never seen Ms. Eun smile so brightly like that.
I've only seen her complain.
Some people might mistake them as a couple.
Let's go.
You're here early. It's not ready yet.
I have a question for you.
You lent your recipe notebook to Mr. Kang.
You saw that?
Lend it to me, too.
Why?
So that I can get more information.
Don't you already have more information on recipes than I do?
So are you saying you don't want to lend it to me?
I'm not saying that.
I just don't understand why you'd need my recipe notebook.
Are you discriminating against me?
Goodness.
You're here early.
I just got here.
"To my amazing grandfather".
Amazing...
"Thank you for the hard work you've done all your life."
Thank you for...
"Please enjoy your retirement. Sincerely, Byeol."
Please enjoy...
Write this after "Please enjoy your retirement."
Write, "I love you, Grandpa. Sincerely, Byeol."
- I love... - "I love..."
- you... - "you..."
"Grandpa".
Grandpa.
"Sincerely, Byeol."
Byeol.
(I love you, Grandpa. Sincerely, Byeol.)
Draw a heart on the side.
(I love you, Grandpa. Sincerely, Byeol.)
Gosh, my lovely Byeol.
You misspelled some words,
but you have a great handwriting.
What kind of hard work did Grandpa do all his life?
Grandpa goes to school and teaches students.
He earns money by doing that.
With all the money he earned,
he raised and paid for your late father and uncle's education, okay?
No, it's too difficult to understand.
Your mom comes home late from work to raise you.
- Yes. - That's it.
That's what you call "hard work".
You must be good to your mom in the future.
Okay.
Then what did you do all your life?
Me?
I cooked and cleaned every day.
Thank you for your hard work, Grandma.
My goodness.
I like you the most in the family these days.
You're so precious.
You're such a precious child, Byeol.
Grilled tripe is perfect with soju.
The taste makes you want to drink.
I think women will also like it.
What do you think, Ms. Han?
It needs to be marinated a little more.
It needs to be marinated a lot more.
Don't you like it, Chief Director?
The taste isn't good enough to put it on the menu.
It doesn't look good, either.
Is food presentation important for tripe?
Of course it is.
The better it looks, the more delicious it is.
He's right. A good presentation elevates the quality of the menu.
I agree.
Try to make it better.
Okay.
I think Chief Director is in a bad mood today.
He sounded angry, didn't he?
Perhaps my dish didn't meet his expectation.
Why were you so hard on Ms. Eun?
You always complimented her.
She's not trying hard enough after making two successful dishes.
I wasn't happy with that.
The tripe wasn't that terrible.
If she wanted to display this to the customers at the restaurant,
it should have been better.
I didn't like it.
You're right.
Can you do it alone?
- What? - I need to work out tonight.
I need to clear my head.
You should do it alone.
Okay.
It needs to be marinated a lot more.
Don't you like it, Chief Director?
The taste isn't good enough to put it on the menu.
It doesn't look good, either.
I agree that something is missing.
Still, did he have to embarrass me in front of everyone?
Let's stay positive. It's better if I make something more delicious.
I must find something new.
I'm sorry. I should have taken you home.
Nonsense.
I was nervous about you driving since you seemed down.
Are you feeling well?
I'm not sure.
I just feel tired and depressed.
I feel much better after indoor climbing.
You should go and get some rest. You don't look well.
Get home safely.
It's to give you strength.
Why are you coming home together?
- We just met... - At a bus stop...
We met each other by accident. You're getting home late today.
I picked up Ji Yeon on her way back from a business trip.
You take the motorcycle to work. How did you meet at a bus stop?
I had to stop by somewhere, so I took the bus today.
Why are you being so inquisitive? You're embarrassing Sang Cheol.
There seems to be something between you two.
Pretend you didn't hear that.
She's talking nonsense because she's tired today.
Let's go in.
Ji Yeon is full of curiosity.
My neck hurts.
Who put this up?
No way.
- When did you come here? - This morning.
Are you feeling okay?
Yes. I've missed the studio so much.
I came here as soon as I woke up.
Did you hang this up?
Isn't it pretty? I made this floral wreath myself.
Floral wreath?
Do people usually put money on it?
Come on, Sir.
You're too funny.
I put the money there because I wanted to.
Why did you do that?
You had to pay that huge medical bill.
Take this back.
Why did you pay my hospital bill?
I did this because you wouldn't take my money if I just gave it to you.
Keep in on the wall and use it when you need it.
I told you I won't take anything other than the tuition.
I won't take anything other than lessons from you, either.
I paid the bill a long time ago. How can I take this now?
All right.
Why don't we use with this money together whenever we order food?
- No... - Forget it. We're done talking.
Why don't we have breakfast?
Let's go, Sir.
It's hot.
- Enjoy. - Thank you.
It looks good.
You're a man, so you should eat more.
Who says a man should eat more? Am I a pig?
Then, am I a pig?
You should eat more.
- Come on. - Sir.
Did you feel that? The electricity?
Don't you think you and I have a connection?
This whole room is kind of static.
Gosh, I dropped the rice bowl because of you.
Where is everyone?
Byeol, where's your mom?
She's in that room.
I'll get going now.
- Me, too. - Okay.
Hey.
Are you plotting something in here?
I had to ask Dong Min a favor.
Sang Cheol, sweep the front yard.
Bang Wool, make some kimchi.
We just made a bunch.
I want some fresh kimchi.
Okay.
And Ji Yeon.
Wash all the dishes.
Oh, my gosh.
How can I do all that by myself?
Mom, why are you doing this?
You will clean the bathroom.
Me?
Goodness. I know you hate me saying this, but I will.
- Narrow-minded bugger! - Hey.
Don't say that.
Why is Mother acting like that?
She's being hysterical because said we can't attend...
Dad's retirement ceremony.
You two have never seen her like that, right?
Last time, we had to eat cereal for dinner.
Well, that's like her.
Get to work before she gets angry at you.
- Okay. - All right.
Goodness.
I'm still so mad.
What's wrong?
They were plotting something. They're all getting on my nerves.
Stop it.
I'm okay even if they don't come.
I'm not okay with that.
It was nice eating out together.
It's not easy for all of us to get together.
It's because we're all busy.
Chae Rin's busy because she's dating Woo Hyuk these days.
Dad.
- Call the chairwoman. - Why?
Woo Hyuk wasn't feeling so well yesterday.
Call her and ask her how he's doing.
Was he feeling really bad?
Just tell her that you'll check on him. I want to drop by.
It's rude to pay them a surprise visit.
I'm concerned about him now.
Just give him a phone call.
I don't think we should visit them.
Do you think so?
Woo Hyuk.
Are you still feeling bad?
A little bit.
You have no fever. I don't think it's a cold.
I'll feel better if I take a rest.
Should I call Dr. Han?
It's okay.
Hello, Dr. Han.
Chae Rin told me Woo Hyuk wasn't feeling well.
Is he okay now?
I was thinking about calling you just now.
I'm on my way home. Should I drop by on the way?
I'd be so grateful.
I think he read my mind.
Dr. Han says he'll drop by on his way home.
He doesn't have to. I'm not sick.
I'm worried because you're feeling unwell without any reason.
It'd be nice to get a checkup.
Wait. I need to concentrate.
Gang Ja, where are you? Are you home?
Don't make such excuses
Don't make any excuses
I'm home. Why?
If it was your day off, I was going to give you movie tickets.
Too bad.
Give them to me next time.
Okay.
What? It's a guest card!
Yes! Wait.
I'm not expecting any guests though.
This is all wrong.
I should start over.
My stomach.
What's wrong?
It feels like...
my intestines are getting twisted.
Mom, does it hurt a lot?
We need to take her to the ER.
Chae Rin. You should get out.
Explain to the chairwoman and apologize to her.
I'll go with you.
You should go. Are you okay?
- Call me when you're at the ER. - Okay.
Hi, Chae Rin.
I'm sorry.
I had to come alone because my mom had a stomachache.
Is she all right?
She was fine after having lunch, but she suddenly got sick.
Are you okay, Woo Hyuk?
Yes.
If not, my dad will visit you in the evening.
It's okay. My mom was just overreacting.
Where were you hurting so badly?
The test result showed nothing.
I'm sorry for making you worry.
I'm just worried that you might really be sick...
even when nothing showed up on the test.
Are you sure you're okay?
Yes.
I'm going to sleep.
Okay.
Get some rest.
I must do something about Gang Ja.
- Surprise! - Surprise!
Gosh, you startled me.
Put this shirt on instead.
Put this jacket on, too.
I have your shoes ready.
What's all this?
Thank you so much for your hard work.
This is your trophy from us.
You guys.
Are you giving him presents because you can't attend the ceremony?
All of us are going to go.
Put this jacket on and come out.
Didn't you say that you're all busy?
It was a surprise.
Were you all putting on an act?
Yes, Mother.
That makes me the bad person here.
My goodness.
Each of you deserve a beating.
I wrote Grandpa a letter.
To my amazing grandfather.
Thank you for the hard work you've done all your life.
Please enjoy your retirement.
I love you, Grandpa.
Sincerely, Byeol.
Get changed and come out.
Here you go.
- Okay. - Here you go.
Are you crying?
No, of course not.
Something just went in my eye.
You're definitely crying.
Were you disappointed at first? You pretended like it was okay.
Of course I wasn't.
You look very handsome.
Do I look good?
You look amazing.
You look good enough to get married again.
What about me?
You should just stay here.
Let's go. We'll be late.
- Yes, let's go. - Let's go.
Is Ms. Eun working at the restaurant again?
- She took a day off. - Why?
I'm not sure. She said it was a personal reason.
Chief Director, you seem to care a lot about your employees.
You take interest in each and every one of us.
Pardon me?
I guess so.
The development team is like family to me.
Ms. Han is at the renewal restaurant.
Okay.
Let's get started.
Why did Mr. Kang take the day off?
He said it was for a personal reason.
Okay.
Is it a coincidence?
How can they take a day off on the same day?
Why do I care so much?
It's none of my business whether they take a day off together or not.
Why are we eating at home on a day like this?
I even dressed up.
They spent a lot of money on my presents.
You can buy dinner.
I don't have money for that.
Dad shouldn't spend any money today.
Thanks to you, I've saved a lot of money so far.
Here's some delicious kimchi. Enjoy it with the meat.
- Let me pour you a drink. - Okay.
Pour me a glass, too.
You shouldn't drink.
You're getting ready for pregnancy.
Even if I'm pregnant, one drink is okay. Give me.
Don't drink. It's better to be careful.
You can clink glasses with me with some juice.
Okay, I'll have some juice with you.
Now that everyone has a drink, please make a toast.
Thank you very much.
I feel so blessed.
I bet we're the only family in Korea where the children...
take a day off from work to celebrate their father's retirement.
This is all because I pressured them.
She's right. She really did pressure us.
Thank you for your hard work.
- Thank you. - Thank you.
Stay healthy.
You're amazing.
- You're amazing. - You're amazing.
Yoon Gye Neung is the best.
Go ahead and eat.
Come in.
I brought you dinner.
Why did you stop by instead of going home?
How can I go home when my boyfriend is working until late?
Bringing dinner is the least I can do.
You seem tired. Are you sure you're okay?
Shouldn't you see my dad?
I'm sorry.
You're definitely not well.
You should thank me instead of apologizing.
Please eat.
Did Ms. Eun come to work?
She went to work at a restaurant in Incheon.
Why did she go there?
Due to good rumors about her, many restaurants are inviting her.
People call her the Midas touch.
She turns the restaurant spotless and makes food taste much better.
Does she go to the management store at night?
Yes, she works so hard.
Chief Director, I can carry it.
I should be doing the hard work. Please don't do it.
Are you planning to work at the restaurant?
Pardon me?
Yesterday, you took a day off. Today, you work at restaurants.
When will you work at the headquarters office?
Are you having fun away from the office?
I was getting feedback on the menu from the restaurants.
I told my team manager about it.
Which menu did you create from working here?
You came up with beef noodles from the main office that did well.
Why are you getting upset? I'm only doing my best.
Work at the main office from now on so I can see you.
Why must you see me?
Because if I don't, it gets on my nerves.
(Love is Drop by Drop)
Chief Director, what brings you here?
Do you come here every night?
- It's because... - Since when were you two so close?
What is it?
I've been thinking.
What do you think about working somewhere else?
Open up a cosmetics store for me.
A cosmetics store?
Let me go.
Oh, my goodness!
What's wrong with me?
I must be crazy. Why am I attracted to her of all women?
