(Episode 1)
(Majang Livestock Products Market)
Just a second. Let's add an egg.
Gosh, it's hot. I know how to cook a great bowl of instant noodles.
Ta-da. I'm also going to add a can of tuna.
Thank you. Oh, gosh.
It's okay.
It's nothing much.
Okay.
Here. Let's add this can of tuna.
- Let's put it in. - Okay.
Gosh, youth unemployment is a big problem these days.
Here. Let me pour you a glass.
Okay, thanks.
Hey, come on. Please tell me.
I heard you're practically the leader of this area.
I said I don't know. You've been asking me for days now.
Gosh, seriously.
Here. Let me pour you a glass too.
Do you also not know who Mr. Bae Dong Cheol is?
I don't know.
I already know that he's here somewhere.
I'm not going to leave with nothing.
I'm going to visit you every day until you tell me who he is.
My gosh, you're so stubborn.
Why are you looking for him?
I heard he used to own a naengmyeon restaurant and went bankrupt.
Are you sure you're not here to get money from him?
I said no. Can't you believe me?
It's really hard to believe you.
Please tell this to Mr. Bae.
I'm not here to collect any debt.
Just tell him that it'll help him pay back his debt.
How did it go?
Let's go.
Who are you?
Why are you going around and asking about me?
Are you deaf?
I asked you a question. Who are you?
Here.
This is...
My grandmother used to go to your restaurant a lot.
The little boy in the photo is me.
That restaurant had a long history, just like its old signboard.
It was open for 100 years over 3 generations.
And you were the last owner of that place.
That place may be gone now,
but I can't seem to forget the taste of your naengmyeon.
Is that why you're looking for me?
Let me introduce myself.
I'm Director Choi Sun Ho of Choigo Foods.
Let me get straight to the point.
I need the recipe for your broth.
I'll reward you with enough money.
My junior staff will explain to you more specifically.
Get in.
Hey, the best butcher of Majang-dong is here. Let's go take a look.
- She's here? - Yes.
- My goodness. - She in unbelievable.
Look at that.
Sir, I'm all done.
Already?
You deserve to be called Majang-dong's Butchering Witch.
It's not "Witch". I'm the Butchering Beauty.
I gave you a little bonus on top of your daily pay.
- A bonus? - You always did a great job.
Thank you for always coming by whenever I needed help.
I never go on holidays, and I'm ready to work around the clock.
Just call me whenever.
Thank you for this. Oh, I almost forgot.
Here. It's a delivery proposal.
I got eliminated last time because I couldn't meet the unit cost.
But I improved the aging process, so I can meet the unit cost now.
Okay. You'll do great this time.
Please help me out. I'll be off then.
You should stay and have some raw beef and soju.
I need to do my morning business.
Have a great day.
How much is it?
Excuse me.
Excuse me. Wait.
Hey. Wait.
Excuse me. Hey.
Who are you?
My gosh.
Hey, you're that canned tuna guy.
Just wait here. Don't you dare touch me.
What are you saying?
I'm done here since I gave you your money.
Where are you going? Stop right there.
Are you crazy?
These are my favorite pants.
My pants got ripped here. What are you going to do about this?
Well, you shouldn't have run away.
"Run away"?
I was only going my way after I gave you back the money you dropped.
Do you expect me to believe that?
I get that you're going through a lot, but you shouldn't do this.
You're still a young man.
If you have a healthy body, you should think about earning money.
How pathetic do you have to be?
What do you take me for?
They say people only see the world as they are.
What kind of nonsense is that?
I'm not the thief. It's you.
You must look down on me because I'm not showing you anything.
I shouldn't be giving my business card to strangers like this,
but you're going to be an exception.
Let's see. Where is it?
Did I run out of business cards?
Forget that. If you have the time to talk back to everything I say,
you should go home and look for a proper job.
Also, you can buy yourself a new pair of sweatpants with this.
Gosh. Do you think these sweatpants are sold just anywhere?
These pants were made by a famous Italian master craftsman...
With his utmost care and devotion?
Yes.
You must've watched a lot of dramas.
Stop lying.
I saw those sweatpants being sold in the market.
That's a fake. This is the real...
Gosh.
I'm only giving you this because I got a bonus today.
Here. Take this.
Treat yourself to a hot bowl of soup.
I know you may think you're a generation of bad luck,
but don't lose your dream and hope.
Forget it.
I was only trying to be nice. Don't take it if you don't want it.
Gosh, you're so vain.
Who does she think she is?
(July 3, 2013, 5:40pm, Jae Hee's arrival time)
I can't wait.
Good morning.
What are you doing here so early in the morning?
Who's this woman?
Are you cheating on me?
So that's why you're here.
How can you deceive me and meet someone else?
- I never deceived you. - What?
I told you on the first day we met.
I don't like it when a woman tries to tie me down.
We decided to date each other...
even after I told you that because you said you don't care.
Then why did you buy me clothes, shoes, bags, and jewelry?
Wasn't that because you loved me?
Women are so strange.
They tend to think I love them if I get them expensive stuff.
They're worth nothing.
I can buy you more of those if you want.
You jerk. Let's break up.
Okay. Now that you know I'm not the one, let's break up nicely.
Bye.
I've been watching you guys from afar,
but I've never seen a jerk like him.
He's worse than those people who fool people by voice phishing.
What are you doing? Go on. Do it.
Hey, Jae Wook.
How does that feel? Do you feel better now?
I don't know who you are, but thank you.
No problem. My goodness.
Don't feel upset about a love that's cooled down like iced-tea.
Just forget about him. I hope you meet a good man.
You jerk.
I hope you grow old by yourself and never meet a woman again.
Goodbye.
Come over here. You little jerk. What did you do?
Gosh, what's wrong with you?
You should've seen the look on her face.
If it weren't for me, you would've gotten killed today.
Be grateful that it ended with a small shower.
Some talk.
You're my only friend, but you're of no help at all.
I'm hungry. Feed me.
I'm so hungry because I worked since dawn. Give me food.
Why are you asking me for food? Go and eat at your place.
Here.
I wonder why women like you.
Why do they keep falling for you when they already know that...
you're a playboy with a free soul?
That's because I have an unforgettable charm...
that's also very addictive.
You're like an unhealthy snack that people get addicted to...
even when they know it's bad for their health.
"Unhealthy snack"?
What are you then?
I may not have the fancy skills when it comes to dating,
but I'm sincere.
I only focus on one woman.
I'm like kimchi that's been fermented for a long time.
What is this? Why do I feel like I've lost?
Hey, you know Jae Hee's coming to Korea today, right?
Of course.
I waited 1 year and 247 days for her.
My gosh, I couldn't get any sleep last night.
But...
if I wait 9 hours and 15 minutes more, I'll be able to meet Jae Hee.
(Management Director, Choi Sun Ho)
Why is time going by so slowly?
Reading my favorite comic book will make time go faster.
Let's see. What should I read?
Let's see.
This is Mr. Bae's recipe for his broth.
I gave him enough money, just like you told me to.
Mr. Bae was also very satisfied.
Good work.
What's going on? Okay.
Sir, the secret royal inspector is here.
What?
(Son)
My gosh. Mom.
You little piece of trash!
Dogs are at least worth something.
But I can't even sell you off.
- When will you come to your senses? - Gosh, wait.
My gosh. Mom, it hurts.
Get over here. You little...
What? Did you just duck?
- My gosh, you little... - Mom, no...
My goodness, Sun Ho.
- Sun Ho. - Let me take a look.
What if you got a scar on that handsome face?
It's okay, Dad. I didn't get hurt.
Mom, you really need to take care of your temper.
You almost killed your grandson.
My gosh, you're not the one to get angry right now.
By the way, it seems like you're getting stronger every year, Mom.
I won't need to worry about your health.
You're the CEO, but you don't do your work.
Aren't you embarrassed to face your employees?
Do you think I taught you how to walk just so you could dance?
Why would I be embarrassed? People already know that I'm a puppet.
My goodness, I'm going to rip him into pieces.
- Grandma, calm down. - That little...
My gosh. Mom, why are you so worried?
You also don't need to act like a secret royal inspector anymore.
There's no need for you to come by so abruptly like this.
Sun Ho's doing a great job.
After he became a director,
every new product has been selling so well.
Our stock price is increasing every day.
I may not have a talent for managing a company,
but I did a good job in raising my kid.
I'd rather wait for the unification of North and South Korea...
instead of waiting for you to come to your senses.
This is the sales report of the newly launched diet drink.
It's very popular, and the sales is increasing day by day.
This was also made by Ms. Hong, wasn't it?
Yes.
Is the team manager position still vacant after Ms. Park went on...
- maternity leave? - Yes.
Let's promote Ms. Hong and make her a team manager.
She launched three successful products in a row.
Don't you think she deserves that?
Yes, of course. She's more than qualified. I'll do as you say.
How's the development for the new product going?
I still need to develop the recipe a bit more.
I'll tell you more specifically at the board meeting.
Where's Ms. Hong? I haven't seen her all day.
Well...
(Jin Mi Ok)
Who are you?
Hello, sir.
Why are you here again?
I told you to never come near our restaurant again.
I was nearby, and I came to say hello.
Stop lying.
You came here to steal my secret recipe like a thief.
Give it back!
What... What are you talking about?
Don't pretend like you don't know.
Hey, stop right there!
- Chef, what's going on? - Hurry up and catch her!
My gosh. Stop right there! Stop!
Hey, stop!
Stop right there! Stop!
My gosh, get over here!
Stop!
Come on out.
Se Na, why won't you listen to me? What in the world...
What's wrong?
My gosh.
Gosh, you deserve it. You need to stop doing this.
You tried begging and compensating them, but nothing worked.
You did the best you could.
Just give me a bit more time. I'll find out no matter what.
I'm worried that you might get hurt.
Today, you got chased after going through the trash.
Must you go this far?
Don't you know why...
I'm doing all this?
So you're not satisfied with your position as a general manager?
Ms. Hong, don't covet my position. It'll never go to you.
Did you just smirk?
Do you think I'm doing this just to become a director?
The position I want is much better than that.
A better position?
Yes.
The position I really want is...
Just a second.
Yes, it's me. Okay, I'll be right there.
- Are you coming to the airport? - Pardon?
Yes.
Jae Hee asked me to take good care of you.
If anything happens to you, she's going to scold me.
So please be careful from now on, okay?
Did you come here because of Jae Hee?
Was it all because of what Jae Hee said to you?
What?
Are you going back to the company? I need to go see a customer.
I'll go straight to the airport after I meet my customer.
Okay, I'll see you later then.
I want to stay by your side as your woman.
That's the position I really want.
Thank you.
- Me too. - Okay.
I'm a big fan of yours.
Thank you.
Jae Hee.
I'm back, Sun Ho.
I'm back safe and sound.
Thank you for coming back safe and sound.
Se Na!
How have you been, my best friend?
Welcome home, Jae Hee. I missed you!
It's so good to see you.
Let's go. You guys can catch up later.
- Your mother must be waiting. - Okay, let's go.
Se Na, please get my stuff.
- Let's go. - What?
Mom!
Welcome home, Jae Hee. How have you been?
Great.
Jae Hee, welcome home!
How have you been, Aung Yoo Kyung?
Gosh, I guess Paris treated you well.
Se Na's always busy with work. She looks so tired all the time.
But Jae Hee, you look incredible.
Gosh, it sounds like you're badmouthing me at the same time.
My goodness, what should I do? Did it sound like that?
But where's Jae Wook?
He called and said he can't make it. He has customers at his restaurant.
You guys must be hungry. Are you done preparing dinner?
Gosh, I almost forgot. I left the stew boiling.
- Let's go inside. - Okay.
Here. Make room for this too.
Here you go.
Se Na, why are you just standing there? You should sit down.
Sorry? Okay.
You don't have an empty plate. Se Na, can you get one for me?
What? Oh, okay.
- It looks delicious. - I'll get it. Go and sit down.
Here you go.
- Thank you. - Eat up.
Okay, thank you for the meal. You should eat too.
Yes, please join us.
Don't worry about me. You should eat first.
It looks so delicious.
This is what I'm talking about.
The food that I craved the most in Paris was this stew.
Really?
I'll make you a lot so you'll get tired of it. Eat up.
Okay.
- Enjoy, Sun Ho. - Okay.
(Dal Nim's Restaurant)
(I'll cook as if I'm cooking for my own family.)
- 1 assorted dish and 2 stews. - Okay.
- Enjoy. - Thank you.
Hey, Miss. Pour me a glass of soju.
Gosh, why are you doing this?
- Come on, don't be shy. - Sir, stop.
- Come on, pour me a drink. - Stop it.
My goodness, you must be drunk. I'll pour you a drink.
Dal Nim.
Mom, stay still.
Instead, you need to go home after drinking this, okay?
There we go. Now, stop drinking and get up. Come on.
- My goodness. - Gosh.
Why are you telling me to leave when I'm paying for my own drinks?
I have a lot of money. Look.
Bring me more soju.
Sir, you can have more soju next time.
You should stop drinking for today.
You'll hurt your stomach if you keep drinking like this.
If you come next time, I'll give you some free dishes.
Here. Take your change.
Now, come on and get up.
- Go on home. - Fine.
- Goodbye. - Bye.
- Have a safe trip home. - Okay.
I told you not to get involved. Why won't you listen to me?
What if something happens to you?
Don't worry. You know my nickname.
I'm Oh Dal Nim, the Butchering Witch of Majang-dong.
By the way, aren't you supposed to meet Se Kang today?
You're going to be late. You should go now.
My gosh. I'll see you later, Mom.
- See you. - Hey, Dal Nim.
- You need to bring your bag. - Oh, right.
My gosh, she's so clumsy.
- Thank you, Mom. - No problem.
It fits you perfectly. It looks great on you.
Right?
It's always important to have a suit that fits you well.
(Price: 3,250 dollars)
Shouldn't it have one less zero? Why is a suit so expensive?
Dal Nim, how do I look?
Doesn't it fit me perfectly?
You look great in anything, Se Kang.
I do tend to turn a street into a runway...
with just a T-shirt and a pair of jeans on me.
Gosh, high-end brands are really different though.
Do you like this?
- Yes, but... - Then let's get this one.
Really? Don't you think it's a bit too much?
You don't get a suit every day. You should get one that you like.
Plus, you're a lawyer now. You'll need a suit like this.
Thank you, Dal Nim. I really wanted this.
- Go and get changed. - Okay.
Here.
- I'll help you make your payment. - Okay.
Dal Nim.
You should dress up too. What are you wearing?
Other girls put on full makeup when they go out with their boyfriend.
But I don't even expect that much from you.
At least apply some BB cream and wear some perfume.
Don't make it obvious that you came straight from the restaurant.
- Do I smell of food? - My gosh, stop.
You smell of garlic, meat, kimchi, and all sorts of other food.
Since we're here, let's get something for you too.
- How does that dress look? - Forget it.
Why would I get anything at such an expensive place?
There are so many cheap and good-quality clothes at the market.
I don't know how a scrooge like you boldly decided to buy me a suit.
I know. I guess I'm a fool for you.
When I see your happy face, I don't think it's a waste of money at all.
Come on. I'll buy you a dress.
I always receive things from you.
- Here you go. - Thank you.
I'll get you a dress. I'm a lawyer now.
It's okay. All I need is you, Se Kang.
Let's go. It's my grandfather's memorial ceremony today.
I need to go grocery shopping and get ready.
- Hello. - Hello. Welcome.
How much is this?
I'll take this.
- These look great. - Here.
How much is this?
Is the chairwoman doing well?
Yes. She told me to say hi to you on behalf of her.
Do you have time tomorrow, Sun Ho?
I want to say hi to your grandmother.
My goodness, she's a chairwoman. Don't call her "Grandmother".
She's Sun Ho's grandmother, not yours.
She used to read me books when I was young.
She liked me a lot.
I'm sure she thinks of me like her own granddaughter.
Don't you think you're being overly confident?
A granddaughter? My grandma has high standards, you know.
What? Say that again. Come on.
It hurts. Mother, please stop her. My gosh.
Gosh.
Why? Do you need something?
Gosh, stop it. I'll do it. You should spend time with them.
I don't belong there.
What are you talking about?
There's nothing wrong with you. You don't lack anything.
I don't lack anything?
Do you know what the biggest strength in our country is?
It's your parents' competence.
Who can I blame?
It's my fault for coming out of the wrong womb.
That's why I don't belong there.
Do you get it?
Se Na.
- Please make me a cup of herb tea. - Okay.
By the way, Yi Ran.
Remember I asked you see if there are any women for Se Kang?
Are there anyone?
She's a pharmacist?
She's 29 years old, and she's an only child.
Right now, she runs a pharmacy in Gangnam.
Her parents have several buildings in Cheongdam-dong.
The real estate they own is worth 50 million dollars.
What? 50 million dollars?
Her parents are very sophisticated, and she's very pretty.
Look.
My gosh, she looks classy and beautiful.
She's an only child,
so they'll treat their son-in-law like their own son.
That means she won't have any siblings to fight over inheritance.
If Se Kang gets married to her, all their money will become ours.
What do you think? Do you like her?
Gosh, of course.
She comes from a good family, she's well educated, and pretty.
What more can I ask?
By the way, didn't you say that Se Kang has a girlfriend?
She took care of him while he studied for his bar exam.
She also cooked a birthday meal for you on your birthday.
I think you told me about her a couple times.
He broke up with her ages ago.
It's been a while since they broke up.
To be honest, they didn't even really date each other properly.
So you can't even call it a breakup.
Se Kang didn't like her, but she just kept following him around.
When Se Kang failed his exam, she got tired and stopped following him.
I see. Then I'll call her family and arrange a blind date for Se Kang.
Thank you so much, Yi Ran. You're the only person who cares for me.
- Mom, Sun Ho's leaving now. - Okay.
- I'll be off now. - Okay.
Thank you for today.
Take this money.
My gosh, you don't need to give me this.
Thank you. I'll use it well.
This is for you, Aunt Yoo Kyung. This is for you, Se Na.
I got you a gift.
You got me something so expensive.
Thank you, Jae Hee.
What did you get, Se Na?
My goodness.
You've always wanted this, Se Na.
You got lucky.
- Thank you, Jae Hee. - You're welcome.
Give it to me. I'll carry it for you.
No, it's okay. I'll carry it with my mom.
Just give it to me. There. Let's go.
They look great together.
Se Kang, where are you?
We have a memorial ceremony today. Why aren't you home yet?
I also have something to say to you, so hurry up and come home.
It's not something I should say over the phone.
It's a very important matter that will change your life. Okay?
A pharmacist with 50 million dollars?
My gosh, how lucky am I?
Mother, you're here. You came with Se Na.
What are you doing here?
It's Se Kang's grandfather's memorial ceremony today.
I prepared everything. I just need to make the soup.
Why are you here doing something I never asked you to do?
Did I ever ask you to prepare anything?
Who are you to prepare the food for Se Kang's grandfather?
Do you think you're my daughter-in-law?
Mother, why are you being like this all of a sudden?
I am your daughter-in-law.
What are you talking about?
You never got married to Se Kang. How are you my daughter-in-law?
Stop everything and go back home.
Take everything you cooked with you.
Mother.
(Sweet Enemy)
Did Se Kang say anything to you about marriage?
Should I just live with you and not get married?
Director Choi and Se Na are apparently a great match.
They're not getting married. Why did you look into their compatibility?
Who knows? Se Na might get married to Director Choi.
Do you want to meet at Jae Wook's restaurant?
- Why? - You'll see. It's important.
Do you think he's going to propose to her?
I saw a jewel case on Director Choi's desk earlier.
There was a diamond ring inside.
- I'm going to go see Se Kang. - Is something going on?
I want to be a man to you. Please be my woman.
A blind-date?
