The only reason you can still stay by Sun Ho's side...
is because I decided to forgive you.
- What? - If I say I don't like you,
he'll cut ties with you too.
But if you must give it a try, go ahead.
What were you guys talking about?
Why did you guys stop talking as soon as I entered?
It's a secret.
A secret? Were you guys talking about your first love?
What should I do, Jae Hee?
Should I tell Sun Ho?
I don't know. If you want to, go ahead.
Gosh, you guys are making me more curious.
Do you seriously have a boyfriend?
You know him well too.
- His name is... - Yes?
Stop joking around. He'll take you seriously.
Did you think I was being serious?
If I had a boyfriend, I would've introduced him to you already.
What? Did you guys pull a prank on me?
My gosh.
It was hard to believe you though.
You're always at work, so I wondered when you had time to date someone.
Maybe it's because I'm eating this sushi after I lied,
it tastes amazing.
Eat slowly.
What is it that you want to tell me? Go ahead and say it.
Se Kang will tell you what it is.
Go on and tell her.
Mom, the thing is...
I don't think he can say it. You should just say it instead.
Okay. I'll tell you what it is.
You said that you'll compensate me, right?
How much do you plan to give me?
Tell me. How much do you want?
How much money does she want from me?
Is she trying to receive a big chunk so she can change her life?
This is how much I want.
(10 billion dollars)
What's wrong, Mom?
Are you serious?
You can't give me this much, can you?
Are you kidding me?
I told you that my feelings can't be calculated into money.
You made me think twice about our relationship,
and you forced Se Kang to go on a blind date.
But none of that will ever work.
I can't break up with Se Kang.
Se Kang also told me that he doesn't want to either.
He said he'll marry me.
What? He's going to marry you?
Se Kang, is that true?
Mom... Mom, well...
Please allow us to get married, Mother.
Please change your mind.
I don't want to see neither of you. Get out of my room right now.
- Mother, please. - I said get out!
Let's go.
I guess you finally took out your sword.
So you're willing to fight me, are you?
Okay, fine. Let's see if you'll win or I'll win.
I think you should leave for today.
Okay. You should help Mother feel better.
I'll go now.
I'll take this to the dry cleaner's on my way home.
You're here.
Congratulations. I heard you got promoted and became a team manager.
What is that?
I'm taking your clothes and Se Kang's suit to the dry cleaner's.
Give it to me.
Why would you take my clothes to the dry cleaner's?
And I told you to stop treating me as if I'm your sister-in-law.
I'm sorry. I'll be careful from now on.
Mom.
I don't want to see your face. Get lost.
You hit me in the eye!
Why are you doing this to me? What do you want me to do?
I almost died today!
You know what kind of person Dal Nim is.
She's more persistent than anyone else in this world,
and she's scarier than a ghost.
She'll never break up with me easily.
She'll stick by my side like glue and never let me go.
My gosh, you fool.
Dal Nim's acting this way because you're being so weak.
Why are you so scared to tell her that you want to break up with her?
To be honest, I want to end it with her too.
I'm kind of tired of her after dating her for five years.
And I didn't know this when I was studying for my exam,
but there are so many pretty girls out there.
My colleagues live in apartments and drive expensive cars...
because they got married to a woman with rich parents.
Seeing that makes me so jealous.
But I can't seem to talk properly when I'm in front of Dal Nim.
If you can't do it, I'll do it. You just stay out of it.
What are you planning to do?
You said you want to break up with her.
Then shut your mouth and stay still.
My gosh, I've been bombed continuously today.
"Bombed"? Why? Did something else happen?
You have a problem to solve, but so does Se Na.
Why? What about her?
Director Choi and Jae Hee are getting married.
I knew that would happen.
She shouldn't have liked him in the first place. He's too good for her.
It serves her right.
Is that all you can say as her older brother?
And what do you mean he's too good for her?
If you want to be with someone,
you just need to do your best to seduce that person.
My gosh, Se Na probably feels much worse than I do.
Se Na must be home.
Don't say anything to her, okay?
Were you at work until this hour?
Yes.
- Are you okay? - What do you mean?
Why didn't you tell me...
when you already knew about Director Choi and Jae Hee's marriage?
What difference would that make?
What could you have done?
There's nothing you can do.
But you still should've told me.
Even I feel upset about that.
I'm sure you feel more upset than I do.
I'm your mother. I should've cared for you a bit more.
I'm sorry, Se Na. I really am.
I'm sorry that I can't do anything.
Just forget about him, Se Na.
You can meet someone way better than him.
You can meet someone better than Sun Ho...
and live a happy life.
You know too, right?
I met Sun Ho for the first time...
on Jae Hee's 18th birthday party.
He was different...
from all the other rich guys I had met until then.
I fell in love at first sight.
I studied hard and put in so much effort...
so that I can become a woman who befits him.
He's my first love. He's my everything.
But how can you tell me to forget about him?
I can't do that, Mom.
Se Na.
I totally forgot about this place.
Mom, I'm here.
Where did you go without telling me?
My gosh, what happened to your dress?
- Well... - There's...
something going on between you and Se Kang, right?
It just feels so strange.
He said he'll come today, but he didn't.
And he keeps delaying marriage.
By any chance,
is he seeing someone else?
Gosh, no way. He's not like that, Mom.
They say, "Trust is the mother of deceit."
If he's not seeing anyone else, why does he keep delaying marriage?
Don't try to hide anything from me. Just tell me the truth.
He's seeing someone, isn't he?
If you won't tell me, I'm going to go ask him myself.
Where is he?
He's at work, isn't he?
Mom, where are you going?
We're going to get married. Se Kang said he wants to.
Are you serious? Did he really say that to you?
Yes, he did. I just met him a while ago.
My gosh, I'm so relieved.
I was worried that maybe Se Kang had a change of heart.
My gosh, Mom. He won't ever do such a thing.
Hello?
Really? Okay, I'll be right there.
Why are you so happy?
My delivery proposal passed the evaluation.
A few employees are going to come and eat at our restaurant tomorrow.
Really? That's great news.
I'm going to go and meet the person who just called.
Okay.
I should get him some bungeoppang.
- I'll take 2 dollars' worth. - Okay.
No, not that one. Please give me that one.
Okay.
- Here's your bungeoppang. - Thank you.
What did you just take a picture of?
Why do you care? Mind your own business.
Are you a pervert who secretly takes photos of women?
Did you take a photo of me and those girls...
while pretending to take a photo of the restaurant?
My gosh, don't get mistaken. I never took a photo of you.
Where do you think you're going? Give me your cell phone.
I'll know once I take a look.
My gosh, how dare you treat me like a criminal?
That's because you acted like one.
I'll know if you're telling the truth or not once I see for myself.
What will you do if nothing comes out?
If nothing comes out, would you like to go out with me on a date?
Although you're not exactly my type.
What is wrong with you?
You look so corny. I can already tell that you're a pervert.
You checked, right?
I didn't take photos of women's legs.
I took photos of street vendors.
My gosh, you have one big head.
I couldn't take a proper photo because of that big head of yours.
I'm going to delete this.
Now, it's time for us to go on that date.
- What? - Didn't you say that...
you'll go on a date with me if nothing came out?
Well... That's...
You're getting delusional again. I told you that you're not my type.
Let's seal the deal with this.
This tastes delicious.
This is what I call my type.
My gosh, what's wrong with him?
What's wrong with how I look?
Does he mean I look worse than bungeoppang?
(Dal Nim's Restaurant)
Excuse me.
This will make you warm.
Just wait here. I'll bring my mom.
- Come here, Mom. - What's going on?
What?
My goodness gracious.
Oh, dear. Look at this wound.
My gosh, what happened to you?
Do you think you can get up?
Try standing up. My goodness, what should we do?
Welcome. Please sit over here.
Ms. Kang, have you been well?
Can't you remember me?
16 years ago...
My goodness. Look who's here.
You're Jae Wook, aren't you?
Yes, it's me, Jae Wook.
Do you remember me now?
It's been so long.
You were just a little boy back then. You're all grown up now.
I couldn't recognize you because of how much you've changed.
You look exactly the same. You haven't changed a bit.
What are you talking about? I've grown old now.
- I'm home. - Dal Nim, come over here.
You're that pervert. What are you doing here?
We meet again, Ms. Bungeoppang.
Have you guys met each other already?
Do you know this guy?
She's my daughter, Dal Nim.
You're Dal Nim?
You're that kid with sparkling eyes?
I was wandering around after I ran away from home.
Then some bullies beat me up and took my money.
I was lying on the street, but you brought me inside.
Then you treated my wound and gave me rice with warm soup.
You also gave me new clothes.
It's been so long, but you remember every little thing.
As I got on the bus back home,
you told me to visit you whenever I had a hard time.
After you left, I sometimes...
thought of you and wondered if you were doing well.
So how have you been?
I went abroad to study after that.
I was really busy after I came back,
so I had forgotten all about this place.
Then I came here because of work,
and that's when all the memories came back to me.
I tried the best I could to find this place.
But I really didn't expect it to still be here after all those years.
I'm sorry for not coming earlier, Ms. Kang.
Don't say that.
I'm glad that you didn't forget about me and came by like this.
Okay.
You guys can continue to catch up later.
First, let's eat.
Try the meat. You might die because of how good it tastes.
You must be hungry. Eat up.
My gosh, the soup tastes amazing.
Try the meat too.
It just melts in my mouth.
Dal Nim made everything here.
She's a better cook than I am.
They say, "An ugly woman might get rejected,"
"but a woman who cooks well will never get rejected."
I should introduce her to someone nice.
She already has someone she's going to get married to.
Really?
I don't know who he is, but he's one lucky guy.
Tell me when you set the date. I'll be sure to attend your wedding.
Okay, thank you. Enjoy.
Try this too.
This place still feels so comfortable even after 16 years.
It feels like I'm home.
You can think of this place as home and come by often.
Are you home, Jae Wook?
Did you drink?
Yes, I had a drink.
You look happy. Did something good happen?
I met an old friend for the first time in 16 years.
16 years? Is that person your friend from middle school?
- Not exactly. - Then...
is it a girl?
My gosh, don't dig too dip. You'll get hurt.
What are you up to?
I was searching for some materials to update my blog.
Do you know any hidden tasty restaurants?
A place that makes good food at an affordable price.
- You can't include your restaurant. - A tasty restaurant?
I do know a place. I totally recommend it.
- Where is it? - It's a place in Majang-dong.
How do you know the place? Are you a regular there?
No, I'm not a regular.
But I went there by chance after I stopped by the market.
The soup and meat all taste great.
Oh, really?
It's your first time coming to our company, right?
We're going to become a family now.
I wanted to meet here to tell you that you could visit this place...
whenever you want.
I see.
Both our families have stayed close for a long time now.
I'm relieved to know that...
we're soon going to become in-laws.
Jae Hee still lacks many things, but please take good care of her.
I understand. I'm actually the one who's more relieved.
I wanted Sun Ho to get married to Jae Hee more than anyone.
I don't think of Jae Hee as just a daughter-in-law.
I think of her as my own daughter.
Of course.
I'm well aware of your family custom and character.
I'm sure you'll take care of Jae Hee like she's your own daughter.
Now that we're on that subject, I'd like to tell you something.
I don't want Jae Hee to just stay home.
I'm planning to teach her how to manage a company.
Jae Hee didn't mention anything about that.
She's not interested in management yet.
But she's too competent...
to just stay home and do housework.
If I make a position for her at work...
and teach her well,
she'll not only help our company,
but also be powerful enough to be of great help to Sun Ho.
I thought far ahead and came up with this choice. I hope you understand.
That's not something I can decide by myself.
I'll talk to my mother-in-law.
Dal Nim, what are you doing? Everyone's waiting.
Now that it's time to show them, I suddenly feel nervous.
Don't be.
We just need to cook it like we always do.
We've matured...
this second-grade Korean beef with our restaurant's secret know-how.
Please try it.
It tastes as good as first-grade Korean beef.
What do you think?
It's an amazing transformation of second-grade Korean beef.
If matured properly,
second-grade Korean beef can also taste delicious.
As you can see in the proposal,
she's a professional at maturing beef.
She's learned the technique from her father...
and continued to develop it throughout the years.
It tastes delicious, and it meets the unit cost.
It has a strong competitiveness compared to other restaurants.
Are you going somewhere?
I'm going to meet Sun Ho.
You must be going on a date.
You also know, don't you?
What? About what?
You know why Se Na decided to work at Sun Ho's company...
while turning down all the other job offers at other companies, right?
You must know who she likes.
I also know how she feels,
but I couldn't continue to reject him just for Se Na.
I'm sure Se Na must feel hurt.
Please help her feel better.
Thank you for being considerate.
Don't worry. She'll get better with time.
You should go.
- Okay. See you. - Bye.
If it weren't for you, he could've ended up with Se Na.
Jae Hee can choose to date any guy she wants.
Why did she have to date a guy that Se Na likes?
Jae Hee.
Hey, Se Kang. Long time no see.
Just a second. You can go first.
I heard that you came back. It's good to see you.
I heard you got a job at the legal team.
Congratulations.
Congratulations to you too. I heard you're getting married.
It's nice to meet you, madam.
You're going to become the madam of Choigo Foods.
I need to get on your good side.
Gosh, you're funny.
Are you here to meet Director Choi?
Yes. You didn't have dinner yet, did you?
Let's go eat together.
Someone told me that this place tastes amazing.
The meat apparently tastes great. You should eat with us.
No, it's okay. I don't want to bother your date.
Go and enjoy your date.
Okay, then. I'll see you next time.
Choi Sun Ho and Jung Jae Hee.
What a rich couple.
Are you going home already?
The legal team must have no work.
I can't believe they let a new recruit go home on time.
Hey, you don't know anything.
Our team has a heavy workload.
We're only leaving early because we decided to have a welcoming dinner.
What about you? Are you working overtime again?
No. I'm going to go home after I finalize a few documents.
I just met Jae Hee.
She must be here to go on a date with Sun Ho.
I know Mom told me not to say anything to you.
But let me give you a word of advice as your older brother.
You were hoping for the impossible.
You tried so hard to get him, but how does it feel to face reality?
I'm sure you're full of scars and regret.
It's time for you to give up on him completely.
Mom's so worried about you.
You need to get back to your senses, okay?
Don't worry about me. You're the one who should come to your senses...
if you don't want to ruin your life.
- What? - I heard everything from Mom.
I heard Dal Nim ruined your blind date.
You had your chance to break up with her, but you couldn't say it.
Then you just gave her all the power to decide what to do. You fool.
You said you're going home. Let's go together.
No. You should go first. I changed my mind.
Tell Mom that I need to work overtime.
Just a second. Let's go as soon as I clean up.
Come in.
When did you come, Jae Hee? I didn't know you were here.
I just came a while ago.
We were just about to go out. Do you need anything?
Oh, really?
The new recipe's ready, so I was going to report it to you.
I'll just do it tomorrow.
The recipe's ready? Let me see.
Sun Ho, I'll wait for you outside.
I won't take long. Just a minute.
Mr. Bae added more flavor to the broth by adding...
dried pollack, kelp, and seafood...
to a meat-based broth. That was the secret.
Also, I found crushed radish from...
the food garbage I had brought from Jin Mi Ok.
That means they ground the radish and used only the juice.
Then could that be that restaurant's secret recipe?
You're right. The juice from the radish...
got rid of the meat smell and made the broth more refreshing.
We've made a few samples...
based on the finalized recipe, and it tastes perfect.
I think we're ready to show this to the chairwoman and employees...
and carry out a sample test.
I knew you could do this. Great job.
Everyone in the development team is working overtime today,
so we'll make the samples.
Today?
I think we can do the sample test tomorrow if we make them today.
What should I do?
I was always in charge of checking the samples.
I'm really sorry.
No, it's okay. I can go by myself.
You must be busy. You should go.
I'll call you later.
- Let's go. - Bye, Jae Hee.
Okay, bye.
- Mother, I'm back. - Hi.
Did you meet Jae Hee's mother?
Yes. We decided to have a meeting with each other's family...
once Sun Ho becomes a little less busy with work.
And by the way, Mother,
Jae Hee's mom wants to teach Jae Hee business management.
Jae Hee never told us anything about that.
She said she's not interested in going on TV or working at a company.
She said she wanted to take care of Sun Ho...
as she continues to manage her blog and write books.
But I don't think that's what Jae Hee's mom has in plan for her.
Business management.
If Jae Hee also goes to work after she gets married,
I'll be the only one in this kitchen again.
What are you doing? You surprised me.
You didn't even know I came in. What were you thinking about?
Nothing.
I just have a lot on my mind today.
Why? Did my mom say something mean to you?
No.
I met Jae Hee's mother today.
When I saw her,
I was amazed at how wonderful she looked.
I'm always stuck in the kitchen, and I can never escape.
Meanwhile, she's a CEO at a big company.
It's not too late.
You can do what you want. I'll do my best to support you.
I'm too old for that.
My gosh, what's wrong with our age?
What's wrong with my age?
- Please give us one bottle of soju. - Okay, just a second.
We'd like one more serving.
- Please give us one more serving. - Yes?
- Please give us more sauce. - Okay.
- Please give us more side dishes. - Okay.
- Excuse me. - Yes?
- Let's eat some more. - It tastes delicious.
- Did you want one more serving? - Yes.
Here's your soju.
- Thank you. - Thank you.
- Why aren't they taking my order? - Do you need anything else?
Excuse me. I'd like to order.
What would you like?
You need to give me the menu and water first.
Can you see the menu on the wall over there?
You can choose from there, and you need to get your own water.
- We'd like a bottle of soju. - Okay.
(Menu)
I'd like 1 assorted dish and 1 soup.
Okay. Please wait a little.
(We won't play with meat.)
(Professionally matured Korean beef)
(Country of origin)
(We use Korean rice, kimchi, and chili powder.)
Here's your assorted dish.
Enjoy your meal.
- Where's Jae Hee? - She went to meet Director Choi.
She's eating dinner outside.
By the way, Yi Ran.
About Se Kang's blind date...
Can you introduce him to one more person?
I don't know.
I didn't tell you this,
but I had a hard time trying to fix what happened this time.
There's no guarantee that this will never happen again.
What do you mean? It will never happen again.
I told her clearly to never come near Se Kang again.
It will never happen again.
So can you please arrange another blind date for him?
I have something to tell you, but please don't get me wrong.
I know that Se Kang is handsome and smart.
But they don't seem to like it when I tell them that his mother...
works at my house as my housemaid.
I'm sorry I can't be of any help.
No, it's okay. I'm the one who's sorry for asking you for too much.
She could've just said no. Is she belittling me or what?
Just wait and see. Se Na might have lost her place to Jae Hee,
but I'm going to make sure Se Kang gets married to someone rich.
Here's your soup.
I came after I heard that your food tastes nice at an affordable price,
but I must've expected too much.
It doesn't taste that delicious.
Miss, you need to grill the meat just once for each side.
That way, the juice will stay inside, and it'll taste savory.
And the fire is a bit too strong.
You should try grilling it again like I just told you.
I know that much.
But the meat is too dry, and it has very little juice.
The meat you ordered is the tenderloin.
I know. It sits beneath the ribs next to beef's backbone.
It's the most tender part of beef.
And are you sure this is dry-aged beef?
It smells of mold.
We mature the beef that we sell with our own method.
What method is that?
We vacuum pack raw meat.
Then we mature it at a low temperature.
We also mature it by exposing it to air.
We use both methods to mature our beef.
It's our secret, so I can't tell you the specific details.
That means you don't have any professional equipment...
for dry-aging such as coolers or dehumidifiers.
It costs too much for us to buy all the professional equipments.
Our method allows us to save money.
That's how we can sell our meat at a more affordable price...
and give our customers more meat compared to other restaurants.
But you can't call that a professional dry-aging method.
If things go wrong,
the meat could go bad and cause food poisoning.
Maybe that's why the meat smelled of mold earlier.
It smells like this once the meat starts to mature.
When meat gets matured, it has a certain smell to it.
And we make sure to keep our place very hygienic,
so we've never had anyone complain to us because of food poisoning.
No one knows what can happen in the future.
The problem is that you're advertising this place as if...
you're selling professionally dry-aged meat when you're not.
Isn't that the same thing as mocking your customers?
"Mocking"?
Why? Am I wrong?
"We won't play with meat."
You should get rid of that if you're going to run this place like this.
I don't think that sign is suitable for your restaurant.
Who are you to say something like that?
- Sir. - Aren't you offended, Dal Nim?
She's treating you like a fraud. Why aren't you doing anything?
- You must know a lot about beef. - I know enough.
Dal Nim here is an expert on meat too.
If you're so confident, would you like to make a bet?
Sir, what are you doing?
I'm sorry.
If you don't like the meat, I'll bring you a new serving.
No, it's okay. You don't need to do that.
Are you going to leave?
Why? Do you think you'll lose?
Sir, stop it.
I'm sorry if we offended you in any way.
Fine, let's do it.
- Sorry? - Let's make a bet.
Why? Do you think you'll lose?
Dal Nim, why are you just standing there? Hurry up and answer her.
If you're not confident, I'll just leave.
I'll do it.
I'll challenge you if that's what you want.
(Sweet Enemy)
Dal Nim. Dal Nim.
- You drank for me. - You're the chairwoman's daughter?
I'd like to go on a date.
A date?
- Stop it. - What did I do?
What is this?
See for yourself. You'll find out what it is.
Sorry? What do you mean?
Who are you talking about?
