Where's the restaurant?
This doesn't look like a place that would have a restaurant.
Give me that money.
What are you doing?
I said I'll give it to you after I find my mom.
Can't you tell already?
That photo is fake!
Give me my money!
Put that knife away.
You're going to regret it if you take this money.
You can't do anything to me.
You're shaking right now.
It's not too late to turn back and leave.
Then I'll just forget that this ever happened.
This isn't a toy.
I've been working with knives for over 10 years now,
so I'm not scared of them.
What kind of woman are you?
Let go of me!
Give me my money. Give it back!
- Let me go! - It's mine!
- Let go! - Give it back!
Who are you?
- Who are you? - You messed with the wrong person.
You're not even worth fighting.
Are you okay?
Did you get hurt?
I'm okay. But how did you know where I was?
I'm relieved that you're okay.
Do you think you can walk?
Dal Nim!
Chef.
- Are you okay? - Yes.
I'm sorry for worrying you.
No, it's okay.
- What about the informant? - He ran away.
Do you know how worried I was?
Why did you come here all alone?
And you should've just given him the money when he threatened you.
What if you really got stabbed?
Do you know how precious this money is?
You can always earn money again.
But you only have one life.
Sun Ho's right.
You could've gotten in big trouble.
Thank you, Director Choi.
Don't ever come to places like this alone.
You should make sure she doesn't, Jae Wook.
Okay, I will.
Let's go, Dal Nim.
I heard you visited the restaurant.
Is Dal Nim okay?
Yes.
But why are you getting involved in her business?
Then was I supposed to not care about someone...
who was in danger?
Is that really the only reason?
Are you sure there isn't any other reason?
What other reason?
I'm asking you if you like her.
It's a bit too much to think of your actions towards her as kindness.
Why do you keep doing this?
Why don't you understand that you're only embarrassing yourself?
And let me ask you something since we're talking about Dal Nim.
According to Lawyer Han Jung Hoon,
he suggested Dal Nim to confess because of Uncle Se Kang.
That makes no sense at all.
Don't believe what he says to you.
He's making things up so that he can get money.
But it's true that Uncle Se Kang had...
given that bracelet to Dal Nim as a gift.
Of all things, why did that bracelet have to be...
What's your point?
Until any kind of evidence pops up to prove the contrary,
Dal Nim is the culprit.
You're really mean.
Why are you only listening to Dal Nim and not us?
I want to believe you too, but...
Then just believe me.
I don't understand why you're being suspicious of my family.
I can tell you this from the bottom of my heart.
We really did the best we could for Dal Nim back then.
What did Jung Hoon tell Sun Ho...
for him to be saying those things to me?
He thinks we instigated Dal Nim to make a confession.
Hey, I'm going crazy too.
Jung Hoon keeps threatening me for money.
I want to move out, but I don't even have any money.
Hey, what about you? Do you have some money?
Your moving out isn't the issue.
From Jo Byung Soo to Jung Hoon, we're surrounded by mines.
I'm already going nuts because of the new product development.
Do whatever you need to do...
to shut Jung Hoon's mouth. Okay?
Apparently, Jae Hee's the one who made this soy sauce.
It'll be very meaningful for me...
if a new product gets developed with Jae Hee's soy sauce.
Think of it as a gift she left for you before she died,
and please do your best for Jae Hee's sake.
Why are you throwing that away?
I don't think this soy sauce will do the job either.
It doesn't go well with the broth.
But that doesn't mean you need to throw it away.
I heard Jae Hee made that.
Are you still not over her?
Until when are you going to...
You're right.
I guess I didn't have to throw it away.
I'm sorry.
Our business hours are over.
What are you doing here again?
I'll do it. Give it to me.
Do you think I'll teach you my secret recipe if you do this?
It's all going to be useless. Please get out of here.
Sir, are you okay?
Get out of here! Leave!
But...
Sir.
If you come here again,
I'm not going to stand still.
(Song Instant Noodles)
Dal Nim.
- Chef. - What are you doing here?
I got kicked out.
But what brings you here?
I came to ask about his secret recipe.
But I guess he's not going to tell us.
What should we do? I tried cooking glasswort...
in so many different ways, but it still tastes different.
Let's go home for now.
I don't think he'll open that door even if we spend the night here.
I have someone I want to introduce do you.
Dal Nim, you're home.
- Who's this? - Geum Sook, say hello.
He's the head chef of our restaurant.
Hello, I'm Hwang Geum Sook,
and I used to be Dal Nim's cellmate.
Nice to meet you.
So she's going to get information from Ms. Ma...
by getting close to her?
We need someone who can earn Ms. Ma's trust.
I think I saw Ms. Ma meeting with Jo Byung Soo at the restaurant.
"Jo Byung Soo"? Are you talking about that witness?
Yes. But I'm sure Ms. Ma will deny that she knows him...
even if I ask her about him.
It'd be great if things work out as you've planned.
But what if you get caught?
It'll only backfire on you.
Don't worry. I'm the master of scamming people.
I'm just saying that I won't make any mistakes.
By the way, you're that guy who secretly sent...
Dal Nim presents and money to use in prison, right?
My gosh, you're really good-looking.
Then are you the one who gave her those cosmetics over there?
"Cosmetics"?
I guess it wasn't you. Sorry.
Why did you come home so late?
Are things not going well with the new product development?
It's not easy.
I'm so worried.
You have to win no matter what.
The new product development is one thing,
but we're facing a bigger problem.
What bigger problem?
I caught Jo Byung Soo trying to meet Ms. Yoon.
What?
Jo Byung Soo went to meet Yi Ran?
He can't be trusted.
People's minds change all the time.
You never know when he's going to betray us.
He's a ticking bomb that can explode any minute.
We need to prepare for the worst.
We need a hidden card to fight against what might happen.
So I was wondering...
Do you know if Ms. Yoon has a weakness?
It needs to be fatal.
"A weakness"?
We need to know her weakness...
in order to use it against her when things don't go our way.
If Jo Byung Soo goes to her and tells her everything,
I'm sure Ms. Yoon will try to take revenge on us.
So we need a shield to protect ourselves from her.
You know a lot about Ms. Yoon.
Did she have any kind of scandals when she used to be an actress?
- I know one. - What is it?
She used to date someone...
before she met Jae Wook's father.
She dated a movie director when she wasn't that famous.
And she even had a baby with him.
Really?
Then did the guy take the baby?
No. She abandoned the baby.
What do you mean?
She got abandoned by the guy, and she was penniless.
So she abandoned her baby.
My gosh.
It's because the guy was a married man.
I can't believe this.
How can she do such a thing?
Yi Ran keeps insisting that she never did such a thing.
But I remember her telling me that story a long time ago...
when she got drunk.
Mom, let's find that baby.
It happened ages ago. How are we going find her?
We need to find her.
We need to convince Ms. Yoon to look for her.
She's currently obsessed about finding Dal Nim's mother.
But we'll be able to make her focus on something else.
And most importantly, if we do find her,
we'll be in control of Ms. Yoon's lifeline.
Can't you understand?
- Yi Ran, I'm here. - Welcome.
What brings you here?
I just thought of you while I was passing by.
What's this?
It must be Jae Hee's.
Are you still on bad terms with Jae Wook?
Don't even talk to me about him.
Every time we lock eyes, the room gets cold.
This is why they say...
it's pointless to raise your husband's ex-wife's child.
He'd never treat you this way if he really thought of you as his mother.
He leaves you all alone in this huge house.
And he's always with Dal Nim...
with the excuse of helping her with the new product.
He wouldn't act that way if he was your real son.
This is why you always need a child that's yours.
Yi Ran, since we're on that subject,
what do you think about looking for that baby you abandoned in the past?
Why do you keep talking nonsense?
I told you to never bring that up again.
Why do you think I'm doing this when I know how much it'll hurt you?
I'm saying this because I care about you.
I just feel so sorry for you.
What's the use of having all this money?
Jae Wook doesn't seem to care about you,
and the thought of having to see you age all alone...
makes my heart ache.
I'm always grateful that you treat Se Na as your daughter.
But I'm sure it'll be much better to have your own.
You also need an heir to take over Hyunsung Holdings.
Yi Ran, think about it.
You shouldn't be looking for Dal Nim's mother right now.
You should be looking for that baby you gave birth to.
If you make up your mind, I'll help you all the way.
There are no secrets between us.
That baby you abandoned was a girl, right?
That would make her Jae Hee's older sister.
You never know.
She might be waiting for you to find her.
Or she might even be looking for you herself.
Jae Wook's out of his mind because of Dal Nim.
You'll feel reassured if you have your own daughter by your side.
Don't you agree?
Where did my wallet go?
I already stole it from her.
Give me that.
You haven't stolen any money, have you?
I'll put this on Ms. Ma's desk.
If you get to go into her house,
look for clues that could be related to...
this bracelet or my mom.
Go on.
Hwang Geum Sook is in the house.
Did I leave it in my office?
My goodness, hello.
What a surprise. I can't believe I ran into you here.
Did you buy groceries?
Yes, but I forgot to bring my wallet.
I'm sorry. I live really close by.
- I'll go get some money right now. - Okay.
My goodness, you don't need to bother.
I'll pay for you.
And I'll help you carry everything to your house.
Thank you.
I'll pay you back once we get home.
This way.
Your place is really nice.
My gosh, you really did a great job in decorating the interior.
Please wait here.
Thank you.
By the way, do you live in this neighborhood?
No. I'm here to look for a job.
"A job"?
I went inside the mart because I saw that they were hiring.
But they had already hired someone.
It's really hard to find a job these days.
I'll be off now.
- Wait. - Pardon?
The waitress at my restaurant...
recently went on maternity leave.
Can you work at my restaurant for three months?
Really? That would be great.
Then you can come to work starting from tomorrow.
Thank you so much. I promise I'll to my best.
She has such good manners. I like her even more now.
I have that owner's trust now,
so just wait a little bit.
We'll be able to find your mom soon.
I wonder why my mom just left even after she saw me.
Do you think she really can't remember anything?
I think something I don't know about must've happened.
We need to find out what that is no matter what.
Let's make sure we find your mom and find out what that is.
Let's also find the culprit.
Se Kang bought two bracelets of the same design.
He gave one to me,
and I'm sure he gave the other one to Se Na.
We need evidence to show that Se Na had the same bracelet as mine.
Thank you for helping me, Geum Sook.
I'm the one who should thank you.
No one treats me like a normal human being anymore.
But you took me in.
You even trusted me after being fooled by me so many times.
It's okay as long as you don't make the same mistake.
Tomorrow's your first day of work, right?
You always need to be alert from now on.
Okay.
(Matna Short Rib Soup)
A new recruit will be joining us today.
Is the uniform too small for her?
Why aren't you coming out?
Hello, I'm bright and shiny like gold.
My name is Hwang Geum Sook. It's nice to meet you all.
You shouldn't be too dressed up...
when you're working as a waitress.
Take off your earrings and necklace. Erase your manicure too.
You also need to tie your hair.
Okay.
Here.
- Thank you. - No problem.
Okay, everyone. Get back to your positions.
Follow me.
Erase your manicure, and get ready for work.
Ms. Ma, you should talk to me comfortably.
I'm probably around the same age as your niece.
"The same age as my niece"?
You look a lot younger than my daughter.
My goodness, are you serious?
You don't look that much older than me.
Well, people do tend to say that I'm young.
I'll think of you as my aunt, Ms. Ma.
I look forward to working here.
Please teach me everything I need to know.
You're so friendly.
A good personality is a must if you're going to deal with customers.
Do I look okay now, Ms. Ma?
Yes, you look great.
You should start working now.
Why aren't you coming out?
I'm coming!
- Welcome. - Hi.
My gosh, are you a pervert?
Do you have a fetish for uniforms?
How does my uniform look?
No, that's not it.
Get out of here. Get out!
- No, you're mistaken. - Director Choi.
- What's going on? - "Director"?
What? This pervert is a director?
How can you say that? He's the director at our head office.
She's a new recruit, so she must've made a mistake without knowing.
I didn't recognize you, sir.
I'm very sorry.
It's okay. You can continue working.
How's the new product development going?
I found the secret ingredient.
But I'm still trying to figure out how I should cook it.
You don't have much time left until the due date.
A company called Food and Top...
is currently developing the same kind of instant noodles as ours.
If they launch their product first,
they'll dominate the market which will put us at a disadvantage.
I understand. I'll try my best to hurry up.
- Keep up the good work. - Okay.
Is he Director Choi Sun Ho?
Ruby, please put these in the bathroom.
Se Kang likes white towels.
Please care for him a bit more.
This is why Se Kang wants to move out.
He said he wants to move out?
Yes.
He keeps looking at real estate applications these days.
Why?
Is it because he doesn't like the color of the towels?
I don't know. He was fine for the past four years.
But I don't know why he suddenly wants to move out.
My gosh.
- Are you going to the restaurant? - Yes.
In order to meet the due date,
I need to develop the noodles as quickly as possible.
Let's go together.
The owner's not here.
Where could he be?
Sir.
Sir!
Chef, please come here.
- Sir. - Sir.
Sir, please wake up.
Sir.
Let's call 911.
- Okay. - Don't call 911.
Sir, are you okay?
Give me my medicine.
Okay, just a second.
Here.
Are you sure you don't need to go to the hospital?
We'll take you there.
No, I'm okay now. You should leave.
- Sir. - I said, leave!
I'm sorry, but I'm not going to listen to you today.
I'll leave after I clean up.
Do you think I'll tell you my secret recipe if you do this?
You don't need to tell me anything.
I'm not doing this to get that recipe from you.
Then why are you doing this?
You're sick.
Seeing that you're being stubborn like this even when you're sick,
I'm guessing you're going to open the restaurant tomorrow.
We'll clean up what's left.
You can sit down and rest.
This is not the taste I wanted.
You're right. What should we do?
We need to launch our product before Food and Top launches...
their Well Being Instant Noodles.
I'm so worried.
I wonder if Ms. Oh's doing well.
It's important for us to beat Food and Top,
but we also need to beat Ms. Oh.
Our team's pride is at stake.
Sir.
Where did he go?
Hello?
I'm calling from the hospital.
Are you Mr. Song Chang Suk's guardian?
"The hospital"? What's going on?
He could die if he doesn't undergo surgery this time.
What? What do you...
What do you think you're doing?
How dare you pick up my calls without permission?
I just...
Hello?
I told you already. I'm not going to receive surgery.
Don't ever call me again.
Why aren't you going to receive surgery?
He said you might die if you don't receive surgery.
Mind your own business, and get out of my restaurant.
No. I can't do that.
What?
Why are you trying to throw away your life?
You can live if you receive surgery.
Be quiet if you don't know anything.
This world isn't worth living for anyway.
If you don't want to live,
why do you keep making and selling food?
What?
If you don't want to live, you should close this place down,
and stop making food.
You don't know anything!
You're right. I don't know anything about you.
But there's one thing I know for sure.
I know that you smile when you see your customers...
enjoy the food you make.
I saw...
that smile on your face.
You looked like the happiest man on earth.
Why are you trying to let go of that happiness?
I lost...
the person I care about the most.
I lost the most precious person in the world to me, my mom.
Every day was so tormenting for me to live...
after I lost my mom.
It was so tormenting that it felt painful to stay alive.
But...
I realized that I could still continue to live.
It's because I had hope that I'll be able to meet my mom one day.
I had hope that...
I'll be able to become happy again if I meet my mom.
I ran this restaurant...
with my wife.
But one day, I fell for another woman.
So I abandoned my wife and started a new family.
My wife waited for me to come back,
so she kept running this restaurant while raising our kid.
Many years later,
I came back after getting abandoned by the woman I had an affair with...
because I was sick with cancer.
My son avoided me and didn't even treat me...
like his father.
But my wife...
took me in,
and she even took care of me.
But she ended up passing away because she got into an accident.
And my cancer, which I thought was cured completely, had returned.
I gave my wife and son an unforgettable scar.
I don't want to live such an embarrassing life anymore.
I just want to join my wife as soon as possible.
I'm sure that's not what she wants.
I'm sure she wants you to be healthy for a long time...
and protect this restaurant.
If you want to be forgiven,
you should live your life to the fullest for your wife's sake.
I brought you some porridge.
I don't know if you'll like it, but please try some.
What are you doing?
I uploaded a cheerful message for Mr. Song...
on my social media account.
- Look. - I see.
You got a lot of comments.
I think he has a lot of regulars because his food tastes great.
But I'm so worried about him.
If he doesn't receive surgery, his life will be in danger.
I can't just stay here. I should go see him.
Let's go together.
I came after I read a post about you on the internet.
I heard you're sick.
Please cheer up.
We succeeded in getting married after eating...
Couple's Instant Noodles here.
We'll visit you again with our baby...
once our baby gets born.
We'll look forward to eating your delicious instant noodles.
Cheer up!
Thank you.
- Sir. - Welcome.
A lot of customers came to cheer me up today.
This is why you shouldn't shut down your restaurant.
There are a lot of customers...
who love your restaurant.
I won't be able to forget the taste of your noodles.
I'll feel so upset if you shut down your restaurant.
You don't need to come here anymore.
What do you mean?
I've...
decided to receive surgery.
Really? That's great, Mr. Song.
I'll come back after I receive surgery,
and I'm going to protect this restaurant.
I think that's also what my wife would want me to do.
I'll look forward to seeing you again after you become healthy.
I'm sure all the other customers who love your instant noodles...
would feel the same way as I do.
Here. Take this.
What's this?
- This is... - You've always wanted to know.
This is how I make glasswort extract.
No, it's okay.
I don't need this.
I didn't do everything with the intention to get this from you.
It was the initial reason, but that's not the case anymore.
I'll just try to find out on my own.
I'm just glad that you've decided to receive surgery.
I know. If you had hidden intentions behind your kindness,
I wouldn't have given this to you.
I'm not giving this to you for free.
This is something that my wife and I had worked hard to develop.
You can take use this as a reference...
to come up with your own secret recipe.
I'm giving this to you so you can make it better.
Here.
Mr. Song.
I'm going to wait and see how well your broth turns out.
I can look forward to it, right?
Yes. Instead, promise me that you're going to...
come back in a healthy state.
When you come back, I'll serve you instant noodles...
that taste way better than yours.
Okay.
Cheer up, Mr. Song.
Thank you.
What do you think about mixing this with this?
- It'll taste better. - That's a good idea.
What should we do?
Let's add this too.
- Beef leg bone broth. - Do you think that would be okay?
It'll add to the deep flavor.
- What about seafood? - That's a good idea too.
- We need to heat this. - Okay.
- Then let's add glasswort. - How...
much do you think we should add?
It'll differ according to how much we decide to make.
(Matna Short Rib Soup)
She must've learned something from the instant noodle place.
She's been working hard ever since her last visit.
"She must've learned something"?
What did she learn?
I don't know.
I asked, but she wouldn't tell me.
Please tell me if you find out what that is.
Okay. Of course.
My gosh, what are you doing there? You surprised me.
Do you feel guilty or something? Why are you surprised?
You must be pretty close to Ms. Hong.
You could say that.
Ms. Hong likes me a lot.
I heard that you got a job here through Ms. Ma.
How I got this job doesn't matter.
Who knows?
I might become Ms. Ma's right-hand woman.
Right-hand woman, my foot.
What are you doing right now?
You stole my bracelet four years ago.
And now, you're trying to steal my recipe?
What are you talking about? Watch what you say!
I guess stealing is all you think about since you're a thief yourself.
You're the thief.
You're the thief that stole my life away from me.
What did you say?
You better take that back.
- What if I won't? - How dare you?
Stop it!
She's not someone who you can treat with no respect.
(Sweet Enemy)
I want to find my daughter.
Did this belong to her?
This tastes better than the soup I had at the instant noodle place.
How can they taste exactly the same?
I only did what Ms. Hong told me to do.
You're not the one who made that broth, are you?
