[Episode 3: My Insides Flip Like Pancakes]
I'm Nutritionist Lee Yoo Mi.
I don't want you to get the wrong idea. That text wasn't meant for you...
It was meant for my friend.
I see. I guess you also make food for your friend.
You must be busy.
I'm sorry.
If you give me one more chance, I'll be eternally grateful...
Excuse me.
This is fun.
Yeah, that makes no sense.
That guy with broad shoulders...
No way was he the bellhop from that resort. There's no way...
You haven't changed one bit.
From head... to toe.
I've become more attractive.
Who am I? Where am I?
Do you know me? I'm losing my mind.
Who am I? Get it together, Lee Yoo Mi.
Um, I'm not sure what you mean.
Don't you recognize me?
I'm not sure. You're the director of our company.
Besides that.
- Personally. - I'm not sure.
- Get in. - Hey!
I'm not the kind of person who gets into just any man's car.
Look at her run. So that's how you're going to be?
You're here?
I must be crazy.
How could I just stand there like that?
Gosh, what do I do?
What is it? Did someone try to kiss you out there?
Hey, I have a gift for you. Ta-da!
"The Noble Man."
Get that out of my sight before I nobly beat you up.
Hey, you asked me to find this for you.
Do you know how many bookstores I had to visit to track this down?
When did I ask for that? When did I ask for that?
You're making me out to be some sexually frustrated prude.
I guess you don't know me, but I'm no ordinary person.
I'm the son of the chairman of that resort, Cha...
You didn't steal the chairman's son's car, did you?
He wasn't a bellhop, but the chairman's son?
You haven't changed one bit. I've become more attractive.
Gosh, what do I do?
Get in.
Hey!
I'm not the kind of person who gets in just any man's car.
Let's see how long you can play dumb.
There are so many companies and restaurants out there.
Why here? I'm doomed. I'm doomed!
Pardon? You want me to deliver it myself?
I'm already very busy as it is.
I barely have time to go to the bathroom
and now you want me to go up and down three times a day with his meals?
- You're asking for too much. - That's what Director Cha wants.
If you don't mind being jobless, you can refuse this task.
Then, when would you like me to start?
Right. Now.
I'll take my leave.
I can do it. I can do it.
I can do it. I can...
Can I?
Yes, come in.
Oh, you're here?
[Daebok Resort Remodeling Plan]
Are you all right?
Did you see something surprising?
No, I didn't see anything.
What's on today's menu?
Um, these are salted plums in fried tofu pockets...
These are leaf wraps with rice, and these are rice wrapped in greens.
They are all easy to eat but hearty at the same time.
I have high expectations.
I'm working very hard to meet your expectations...
I mean, I will work very hard.
Let's see each other every single day...
going forward.
Enjoy your food.
Are you telling me I have to do this three times a day?
- Secretary Jang, tell me. - What is it?
- Is my face forgettable? - Pardon me?
Seriously, my face isn't one that can be easily forgotten.
Don't you agree?
I think your face ranks in the top five percent in the world.
It's in the top one percent. Not five percent.
Anyway...
My face can't be forgotten easily unless you're a goldfish, right?
You can't pull that innocent act with me.
Someone's trying to act innocent around you?
Yeah, someone very predictable.
A one-night stand?
Between a female employee and that bastard?
Hey, that's interesting.
It is?
- It is, isn't it? - Yeah it is. Wait a minute.
I need to write this down before I forget.
Hey!
Do you have a death wish? I'll kill you if you publish this.
Hey, if you were in her shoes...
how can a girl continue working at a company
with a guy she had a one-night stand with?
This isn't a romance. It's a nightmare.
Hey, what can you do? What's done is done.
This happened three years ago, not three days ago.
All you can do is pretend like it never happened.
Hey, how can I pretend that it never happened?
Even if it had happened 30 years ago...
This is a crisis. It's an emergency.
You don't do this stuff while you were traveling, researching for your book...
- Do you? - No comment.
- Hey, Jung Hyun Tae. - What?
You...
You can't do that.
I'll ban you from going outside.
What's wrong with you?
Are you drunk off of your lemon-lime soda?
Whatever. Don't talk to me, Mr. No Comment.
Hey, no way. She would never...
Tonight's dinner...
must pair well with this wine.
["Under the Influence" - Eun Ji Won]
["Je T'aime" - Hey]
This wine goes with this song perfectly.
Would you like some?
No, I'm a lightweight.
What? You seem like you'd be able to drink a lot.
Goodbye.
Hey.
Turn that off!
I don't want to.
Thank you.
Hey, the university's cafeteria isn't all that bad.
I'm surrounded by so many students...
that I feel like I'm getting younger.
And there are so many attractive young professors and associates.
I fall for one every day.
But I'm sure it's nothing compared to Daebok, right?
What?
Hey, why are you so out of it today? Are you okay?
Yeah, sorry. I have a lot on my mind these days.
Why? Is work difficult?
There's a fussy guy at work. And I...
I have to serve that guy three meals a day.
Oh my goodness.
You look very lively these days. You must be happy about something.
- Really? - It's nice to see the old you.
- What? You said you liked my maturity. - At times...
I miss the old days when you were immature.
- What? - Is it because of the nutritionist?
The nutritionist's food must be very effective.
I'm just eating it to survive.
Geez, why is she calling me again? She's driving me insane.
Hello?
Hey, Jin Wook. I'm leaving work now.
If you're free, let's have lunch together.
I'm busy. I'm preparing for a business trip.
- Then, what about dinner? - I'm working overtime tonight.
Then, I'll wait until you're done at work.
Don't wait. I don't know when I'll be done.
I have to go.
Hello? Hello?
What's up with him? Why is he being so difficult?
I'll let it go because you're so handsome.
- Are you working overtime tonight? - Yeah.
- You said you finished your workday. - I have to eat dinner.
Are you telling me that you're working overtime, so you can have dinner?
- Why? Is that not allowed? - Never mind.
Hey, wait a minute!
Let's all go for some chicken and beer?
I'm really sad today. Please help comfort me.
- Did you have a bad audition again? - Are you still trying to be a singer?
Hey, you're psychic! Let's go for chicken and beer!
Count me out. I have to compromise with my love interest who's dilly-dallying.
Me too. I have plans.
I have a blind date to go to.
What about you?
I don't have any plans in particular...
Wait a minute.
I'm planning to work overtime tonight.
I expect food to be available by 10 p.m. tonight.
I suddenly have to work late tonight.
Work?
Wait for me!
Seafood pasta with mussels and shrimp.
We don't have any seafood.
Sea...
Food...
Pa...
Ss...
Ta!
Yes, sir. I'll get it ready for you. Your damned pasta.
- Sir, where's the shrimp? - Right there.
- Are these fresh? - Yes.
You're putting up with me longer than I expected.
I'll destroy you for real this time with my food bomb.
Yes, come in.
Your vein pasta...
I mean, your seafood pasta is here.
- Enjoy. - Wait.
Is something wrong?
Let's see.
I put it somewhere. Geez.
Here it is.
Take it.
I'm paying you back for the gas money, plus interest.
I'm not sure what you're talking about.
Take it.
Why are you doing this?
You know why.
Your humor is rather peculiar.
Here. Now give it to me.
My clothes. My coat.
My handmade, 100 percent wool, beige overcoat!
You ran away with my clothes that day.
I don't understand what you're saying.
You're going to keep playing dumb? Fine.
Then, why did you come find me after all this time?
I'm sure you didn't come for the small amount of gas money I owed you.
I was... simply assigned to work here.
You can't be trusted.
I can't trust your words or your cooking.
You're pretending like you don't know anything.
How could I trust your food?
Who knows what you did to my food?
Hey, I'm a nutritionist. I don't mess around with food!
Then, please have some.
Pardon?
Try some of your food.
Are you happy? Can I go home now?
Yeah, if you want.
If it's too bland, add some salt.
He's so rude!
Team Leader.
When will we rotate to other work locations?
What? Yoo Mi, you've only worked there for three weeks.
- But, my situation is... - Aren't you at Daebok Group?
Everyone is dying to work there. What are you talking about?
Exactly.
Please, let me switch with someone who really wants to work here.
Hey, don't cry. You're going to regret this!
Listen to me. Yoo Mi...
Oh no!
Wait, hello? Yoo Mi...
Lee Yoo Mi, you're very irresponsible.
Do you always run away like this when you can't handle something?
By stabbing someone in the back?
- I wasn't running. - Then what is it?
Are there any other justifiable reasons for your actions?
Yes, that's right.
I have to manage a company cafeteria that feeds over 300 people a day
so it's not easy to prepare three totally different meals for you every day.
Even part-time employees get breaks.
You're telling me your pay is too low for the work you do.
- Is that what you're saying? - Pay?
You're really taking this way too far.
Are you speaking informally to me?
You planned this from the start, didn't you?
You wanted to get back at me for playing dumb.
That's why you were nagging me.
Fine. I remember everything. I was lying.
I remember the resort
the wine, what we did on the beach! I remember it all!
And your coat? Yeah, I took it.
But I couldn't stand keeping it, so my mom threw it away.
Um, listen. Lee Yoo Mi.
"Do this. Do that. I hate this. I hate that."
It's as if you're training a mutt.
I'm your nutritionist, not your housekeeper.
Let's keep our personal lives separate from our work!
I'm a nutritionist, and you're a director with a vitamin deficiency!
Eat whatever I make you!
Wait. Stop right there.
Let me ask you a question.
Why did you leave that morning?
You're that curious?
Tell me what the reason was.
Because it was a one-night stand.
I was scared because it was my first time.
Because I wanted to forget...
But my heart kept pounding.
Because this isn't any old situation.
I'm doomed.
Director Cha, we're home.
Secretary Jang, will you have a drink with me?
No. I have pick up my suit that is ready for me.
You're so difficult.
- Is something wrong? - No!
Director Cha, why don't you change up your style?
The owner of this bar also has Italian...
Because it was a one-night stand.
- Who do you think you are? - Never mind then.
You wanted to drink together, but you won't let me speak.
Drink alone then.
Because it was a one-night stand.
I, Cha Jin Wook...
was nothing more than a one-night stand?
I'll probably get fired. No...
I'm sure he won't fire me for that.
I'm your nutritionist, not your housekeeper.
Let's keep our personal lives separate from work!
Eat whatever I make you!
I'm so fired.
Good morning, everyone.
Yoo Mi, you're in bad shape today.
It looks like you drank last night.
No, but thank you for your concern.
Thank you for all you've done for me.
Let's work hard until the very end.
- Why is she acting so strange? - Is she sick?
- Stop talking and work. - Okay.
Secretary Jang.
Did he throw it out before even trying it, again?
He wanted me to let you know that he really enjoyed it.
He liked the combination of vegetables, meat, and tofu in the meatballs.
- That's what he said. - Pardon?
Really? That son of a...
I mean, Director Cha said that?
- There's no way. - But he did.
- Did he say anything else? - No. I'll be going then.
What is this? What is he doing now?
Is he just overlooking it this time?
No, there's no way.
Get it together, Lee Yoo Mi. You can't let your guard down.
Please, try some.
Sit down.
Director Maeng brought wild ginseng for you.
This right here...
it's very precious and doesn't even compare to cultivated ginseng,
- I don't eat those. - Hey, please have some.
I was so surprised when you collapsed due to your vitamin deficiency.
I went to a lot of trouble to get this for you.
You're the future of our company.
Are you already sucking up to the next chairman?
Yes. You're very sharp.
Did you get home safely last night?
Yeah, I wasn't drunk from such a small amount.
You even ate your meal without any complaints.
I told the nutritionist that you enjoyed it a great deal.
It wasn't that good.
Hello.
- What did she say? - Who?
I'm talking about that girl, Lee Yoo Mi.
What did she say when you handed her an empty lunch box
and said I had enjoyed it?
Did she look happy?
It was more like "What's wrong with that bastard? What is he up to?"
That's what I saw in her expression.
Just forget it.
Hello.
Is this your new suit?
Yes. What do you think?
Don't wear that ever again. I have trypophobia.
He has no fashion sense.
Geez, seriously. I've never gone back on my word.
Wait just a little while longer. I'll get rid of the current kitchen staff
and help you replace them by next month.
Hey, seriously.
Hello, Director Cha.
Have you eaten?
Yes, I have.
- If you'll excuse me. - Yes.
- This is so good. - Jenny, feed this to me.
Eat it yourself, you bastard.
Please, feed it to me.
Nutritionist Lee, come eat while it's warm.
It's delicious.
Before you sit...
Deliver this upstairs.
If you bribe him with this, he'll go easier on you.
Why are you standing there? Go on.
Yes. Please save some for me.
- It's good. Ma'am, open wide. - Take that away.
Yes.
Jin Wook!
- Why didn't you call first? - Are you feeling better?
Oh my... look at your dark circles.
What do we do? Your face is rotting away.
Get your hands off of me.
How dare you touch my face?
What are you doing?
Do you know how hard it was for me to come here?
I barely managed to escape my supervisor when I tried to use my annual leave.
I've only used five days this month. This is annoying.
Joo Hye Ri.
Watch what you say. You're an announcer.
What did I do wrong?
Jin Wook, I depend on my beauty, not my intellect.
When will you grow up?
Hey, no one is as mature as I am at my age.
I have only longed for you ever since high school.
Now, that's mature.
Go. I'm busy.
- No, it's been so long. - What are you doing?
- Let's eat together. - Let go!
"I'm sorry about what happened that night." No, that won't work.
What's done is done, so let's just be cool...
No...
We're both intelligent adults. If we are...
Let's act like it. Let's separate our personal lives from work.
If I'm an intellectual, what's with all this nonsense?
Don't laugh! Get off!
- Hey, let's go together. - Get off.
Come in.
- It's not urgent. I'll come back... - Come in.
- Get off. Get off. - No.
Get off.
- What is it? - Oh.
I brought this for you to taste.
- Please leave it there. - Yes.
I'll leave it here then.
Announcer Joo Hye Ri?
I thought she made your meals, but this is it?
- Be quiet! - Don't eat this crap. Let's...
- This crap? - How about your favorite? Tuna?
Honey, where are you?
I'm almost home. Wait just a little longer. Okay.
- Jin Wook... - Hey, what's wrong with you?
Please leave it there.
Mister, wait!
What was I expecting?
I should just be glad he didn't fire me.
My daughter, call me when you see this message.
The beer in Seoul sure tastes different.
One more glass, please.
Yoo Mi was just like that when she was young.
Blood is thicker than water.
Dong Goo, how old are you?
Three years old.
He's so cute.
I'm sorry I couldn't make it to the wedding.
Yoo Mi said she'd kill me.
That's okay. We split up, anyway.
Anyway, I can't handle that girl's temper.
- You're here? - Mom, why are you here?
Did you block my phone number? Why didn't you answer my calls?
Why are you here?
- We're closed for today. - But it's not even 7 o'clock yet.
Is that all you can say after not seeing me for so long?
I got tired of it.
I was able to put up with it for a few months
but I couldn't do it anymore.
The ocean was in every direction.
The beach is only nice when you're on a vacation.
I would have to travel long distances to find a bar that was open this late.
It was a total hick town!
You wanted to live like Lee Hyo Ri. You said you wanted to live in nature!
- I did the best I could! - So when are you going back?
- When are you going back? - We split up.
What? So?
What else could it mean? I'm staying here for now.
Says who?
I already let Hyun Tae know.
No. I can't live with you.
Go! Go!
Where would I go with a child at this hour?
I have nowhere else to go.
You always do whatever you want. No one told you to get remarried!
You wench.
Gosh, and you're my only daughter. Goodness!
Oh my gosh, Dong Goo.
You can't treat me like this when you grow up.
Hey, her mom was in adult films.
- What? - Amazing.
I think the title was something like, "It's Going To Burst."
But her breasts are no joke. When I was watching it...
She's all wet!
- Oh my gosh. - That was harsh.
Whether I'm at home or at work...
someone is always bothering me.
At least there's a place like this in my neighborhood.
Are you done yet? I'm going to be late!
Just a few more minutes. Just a few more minutes.
It won't come out? What do we do?
He can't poop properly because you're pressuring him.
Hey, why is that my fault? I'll be late because of him.
Buy baby soy milk on your way back home.
I'll give you the money later. Happy?
My baby.
Excuse me!
You're the one with the pancakes, right? Please give it to her.
Where's the kitchen?
- Excuse me. Is that the kitchen? - Yes.
I see.
She's gorgeous.
They're fake.
What is all this?
Please make his lunches with these from now on.
If it's for Jin Wook, I should take extra care of these things.
As you can see, I only chose top quality items.
- Pardon? - Do it properly while you're at it.
Doesn't great presentation make food taste better?
Oh... That's right.
My Jin Wook's special spoon.
Excuse me...
I don't know why you're doing this
but I'm doing a good job making sure to prepare meals that are nutritious...
You are? When?
Are you talking about that scrap of pancake?
Scrap?
From what I've heard, your food hasn't been suiting Jin Wook's taste buds.
This isn't going to work.
From now on, send me pictures of his meals for inspection.
- Why do I have to do that? - I want to be a good wife ahead of time.
- I'll be married to Jin Wook soon. - Says who?
I only eat the food that she makes.
Because she's my personal nutritionist.
That's why no one can tell her what to do, except me.
[Epilogue: The food bomb finally goes off!]
I'm Nutritionist Lee Yoo Mi.
I didn't want you to get the wrong idea. That text wasn't meant for you...
It was meant for my friend.
I see.
I see. I guess you also make food for your friend. You must be busy.
I'm sorry. If you forgive me, I'll be eternally grateful.
Excuse me.
Are you happy? Can I go home now?
Yeah, if you want.
If it's too bland, add some salt.
How dare she mess around with food?
[Epilogue: Director Cha having a drink alone, but not really.]
Director Cha, why don't you change up your style?
How dare you?
Forget it then.
You wanted to drink together, but you won't let me speak.
Drink alone then.
I'm a busy person. Why is he losing his temper?
I should have gone home.
[Epilogue: That thing Yoo Mi has been hiding for three years!]
Oh my gosh! What do I do?
[My Secret Romance]
I'm going to marry Jin Wook soon.
Says who?
I only eat the food that she makes me.
I sense an ulterior motive with these meals.
- Director Cha, that's not it... - Then what is it?
- Do you want to date me? - Pardon?
What is this ominous exclamation mark?
Is there a problem?
You opened it, didn't you? You saw what was inside, didn't you?
Who are you? Move.
