Jang Geum was the legend of royal cuisine.
This great and secret family history...
is passed down even after 500 years.
The absolute taste that not only distinguishes the ingredients...
but also, the place of origin and ratio...
was inherited to the oldest son of this family, me, Han San Hae.
The absolute smell that can detect particles of dust went to...
the second child who was born one minute early, Han Jin Mi.
Lastly, the absolute cooking skill that makes the best taste by...
maturing ingredients with a single touch...
has been inherited to the youngest child, Han Jeong Sik in amity.
Hello, I'm the new recruit Bok Seung Ah.
I'll work hard.
Sir, it's delicious.
(October 2011)
(Alarm: The Deadly Mission)
Should we begin?
Okay.
I found this Korean restaurant. What do you think?
You think it's okay?
Why are you bleeding from both nostrils?
It's not just a simple nosebleed today.
Ever since the boy next door, Min Joon, stole my heart when I was six,
my heart skipped a beat after 12 long years.
(Han Jin Mi)
(She has the absolute smell, but has a nosebleed...)
(due to sudden blood vessel expansion in her nostrils...)
(when she falls in love with a man.)
Stop it.
Let's just eat.
Enjoy.
- Goodness. - What's wrong?
Don't eat it.
I smell a stranger's saliva from this familiar side dish.
4? 5? No, is it 6?
What?
Is your tongue paralyzed just now?
(Han San Hae)
(He has the absolute taste,)
(but his tongue suffers from paralysis...)
(if it meets someone else's saliva.)
I heard this place was famous and came,
but I can't believe they're reusing side dishes.
They have no conscience.
I can't stand this. I'll just...
Don't. Forget it.
Drop it here.
Let's go.
Hey. You pay for the bill.
How much is it?
You ordered 3 menus. They're 7 dollars each.
All right. Let's go home.
I'll chop matured kimchi,
add ham and cheese, Jin Mi's favorite,
sprinkle sesame oil, and mix them together to make kimchi fried rice.
San Hae.
- Why are you walking so fast? - Because I'm hungry.
Hey.
Good boy. Let's go.
- Let's go, boss. - I'm hungry.
- Here. - Thank you.
Wait, sir. Are you okay?
What? What's wrong?
You seem to have a high fever. You don't look good.
Really?
It does feel like I'm having a fever.
You don't look well.
What?
Gosh, it's hot.
I think it's your hands that are hot.
What?
My hands are fine.
(Han Jeong Sik)
(He controls food ingredients with his hand energy,)
(but it leaves a mark if his hands touch human skin.)
I'm hungry.
From now on, I'll find delicious restaurants, and you should be...
- in charge of making dinner. - Gosh, San Hae.
I used wax today.
After this incident,
we became more obsessed with Jeong Sik's homemade dishes.
It's all because you took us to that weird restaurant.
It serves you right.
- Other food isn't delicious. - That's enough.
Here, lemon water.
What are you doing in front of Jin Mi's room?
Take extra care of Jin Mi today.
She's even weeping quietly since this morning now.
That darn girl group thing.
- Right now? - This is so tiring.
It's killing me.
Still, I can't give up in the middle.
I'll see the end of it.
It hurts too much.
By the way, Jin Mi,
both you and I haven't achieved anything until now,
and it means we have no future here.
Try looking for another path.
Right, there is another path.
(We're looking for new actors and actresses.)
I'm still in my heyday.
This much appearance and my age are more than enough to be an actress.
To make it happen, I better trim myself without any flaw.
I shouldn't leave even a single strand of hair.
She's not thinking anything dramatic, is she?
Don't worry.
She'll get over it soon.
She should've gotten a job at a decent company...
or learned a technique. That would've been a lot better.
Hey, you're not in the place to criticize her.
Me?
I didn't say much...
because you didn't seem to know much about individual broadcasting.
- You know... - All right.
Take good care of Jin Mi. See you.
You're leaving? Can't you be more interested in me?
I'll just cry like her or something.
Darn it.
Gosh, this is driving me crazy.
No taxi is willing to come pick me up since I'm not going far.
I don't see any taxis around either.
I'll be late for certain if I take a bus now.
What? Am I doing it right?
That stupid rookie...
is running late after drinking so much yesterday.
Hey, rookie.
Hello, sir.
Manager Han.
What's wrong with me.
I'm so sorry about yesterday.
Forget it and hop in.
Thank you.
I could've been late if it weren't for you.
Thank you so much for giving me a ride.
It seems like you live in this neighborhood too.
After you left like that yesterday,
I was so worried you might be mad.
Rookie.
- Let me be frank since we're late. - Okay.
I have business to attend outside all day long today.
- Am I going with you? - No.
You don't have to follow me.
Instead in the office, organize the updated customer list,
this week's marketing plan, and the list of promotion winners.
- Yes, sir. - That's it.
Why did you pull over here?
- This is where you get off. - What?
Me? Why?
I thought we were going to the office.
Didn't I tell you just now? I'm working outside today.
Why did you want me to hop in then?
I also told you the reason just now.
Time to go.
You'll really be late if you don't get off right now.
Oh, right.
Are you wearing that as a fashion item?
And your eyebrows...
seem interesting.
Goodness.
- Have a good day. - You too, sir.
Goodness, seriously.
I thought he was giving me a ride.
He could've given me orders over the phone.
Nice. There's a taxi right there.
Taxi.
I guess she won't be late to work.
(1.5 cups of water, 1 tablespoon of vinegar, a cracked egg)
Nice.
It took 1 minute and 30 seconds to make this perfect poached egg.
On top of some white rice,
add a spoonful of soy sauce, a little bit of butter,
and a few drops of sesame oil.
Last but not least, add the poached egg.
This dish will be enough to make Jin Mi happy.
"This is so unfair. I feel so upset!"
Do you know how hard I worked to get here?
Nobody's been through as many hardships as I have!
"Do you know how hard I worked to get here?"
"Nobody's been through as many hardships as I have!"
Yes, I know.
I know how difficult your life has been.
She even locked her door.
Jin Mi, open the door.
I made your favorite dish, buttered rice with soy sauce and egg.
If you don't want it, I'll just take it back.
"Did you have to take everything..."
"away from me?"
Okay, fine.
I'll leave it in front of your door. Eat it before it gets cold.
I guess I'm not fit for acting.
My gosh, this is driving me crazy.
I really want to eat that dish.
No, I shouldn't.
I need to go on a diet for my future auditions.
Let's see.
Let's look up some more helpful videos.
What's this? So many people are uploading videos these days.
I didn't know so many celebrities did it as well.
Wait. Then should I also start a channel?
Should I exude my charm via the internet?
This won't do.
You're only good at running because you majored in sports.
You have so many unnecessary spaces in your report.
- Rewrite the report! - Yes.
Are you okay?
Yes.
Hey, rookie. Bok Seung Ah.
- Yes, ma'am. - Get me an iced-Americano.
Hurry up.
Yes, ma'am!
Hey, Seung Ah.
Why can't I open this?
It's for you.
Really? Okay.
By the way, I feel like Ms. Lee called you about 50 times already.
She made you make calls, copy documents, and make coffee.
Plus, she made you rewrite this announcement over 30 times.
Don't get me wrong.
I think you got on her bad side.
You're totally right.
I did get on her bad side.
Big time.
Exactly.
It's all because you slapped wet tissue on her yesterday.
Ms. Bok Seung Ah!
Wait a minute.
Why did Mr. Han have to go on a business trip today of all days?
He should be here...
to protect you since he's your designated mentor.
From what I noticed, Mr. Han keeps work from his personal life...
and doesn't care much about others.
I can't believe you've already analyzed him perfectly.
You're right. You should just learn work-related stuff...
from that cold-hearted guy who only cares about himself.
Meanwhile, I'll be a friend you can always...
lean on.
What? A friend?
Yes, that's right. A friend that can console you during hard times.
Do you have a boyfriend?
No, I don't.
That's good.
Do you live with your parents?
No, I live by myself near the office.
Nearby? In Mapo?
Mr. Han also lives in this neighborhood.
Anyway, that's nice. That's very good to hear.
You're a well-prepared new recruit.
So I've been wondering, if you're free this weekend,
I'd like to have a laid-back conversation...
about some things you should know as a saleswoman.
What do you say?
Should we have some beer near your place?
- Near my place? - Yes.
Why would you go there?
I asked for coffee, but you were taking way too long.
So I thought you went all the way to Colombia to get coffee beans.
By the way, why are you going over to her place, Mr. Won?
Do you both like each other?
No, of course not.
That would never happen. You hate people dating in the office.
She's a new recruit,
so I was going to meet her near her house...
and teach her a few things about work.
Mr. Won.
Focus on doing better yourself.
Well, I mean...
Mr. Han also lives in the same neighborhood.
So I was thinking about gathering everyone for some drinks...
to talk about some stuff...
so that we could all become a bit closer to each other.
Mr. Han's neighborhood? You want to drink with everyone?
Well, that's actually a great idea.
How about we have a group gathering...
at your house, Seung Ah?
Pardon? A group gathering at my house?
But that's a little...
Seung Ah, do you feel pressured to have a group gathering?
No, that's not exactly it.
My house is a bit small.
So maybe I should just reserve a bar near my house.
How about this?
If you feel pressured about having a group gathering,
just think of it as a housewarming party and invite us.
- Will that work? - What? A housewarming party?
It's to enhance your social life at work.
So make sure you make an announcement...
saying everybody needs to go to your housewarming party...
this weekend.
- Nice. - Okay.
I'll do my best to prepare a great party.
Okay, nice.
You better make it refreshing.
It sounds so fun.
My gosh, this is so bad.
Why isn't anyone coming in?
Other people's channels were filled with viewers.
Is this not the way to do it?
Forget it.
(Jjin Mi TV, 1 person is watching.)
(Samsung-dong's Justin Bieber just entered your room.)
Hello, Samsung-dong's Justin Bieber.
You're the first viewer to enter my channel.
It's really nice to have you here.
She's not eating, and she won't even answer me.
What's she doing in there?
I was going to wait, but I guess not.
[Kocowa Ver] MBC E03 Jang Geum, Oh My Grandma "Home Cooked Meals are the Best" -♥ Ruo Xi ♥-
This is so fun.
(Jjin Mi TV, 1 person is watching.)
What are you doing?
Hey.
Are you okay?
Hey, why did you open the door without knocking?
- Ouch. - Get out.
- Get out! - Okay, I'll go.
I'm going. I'm out.
I'm sorry for startling you.
That jerk... I mean...
My little brother just came in without knocking.
And he ended up interrupting the show.
Now, it's time to show you...
my irresistible charms. Just a moment.
I guess I was worried for no reason.
No, wait.
What if the stress made her go crazy?
Ta-da.
I'm...
not trying to be pretty.
I was just born that way.
Still, people keep saying that I'm a fake...
which makes me upset.
I'm upset.
Jin Mi doesn't like it.
Don't leave my stream...
for Jin Mi will be sad and upset.
What are you doing?
My eyes! I'm going to puke!
What was it again?
You referred yourself in the third person.
You're upset?
Darn.
Hey.
Isn't it too warm for that?
- Move! - Seriously?
Mom didn't give you an education for this, you know.
- Move! - You...
Hey, Jin Mi!
Is this even streaming?
Anyway, it's over, everyone.
(Streaming has ended.)
That was hilarious.
She's adorable.
(Crab Meat in Endless Torment)
(Spicy noodles, sundae, crab meat, cheese, and mayonnaise)
Darn.
He'll hold that against me for 10 years.
My dear nose is true to its primal nature.
Let's go.
Good day.
(Crab Meat in Endless Torment)
Wait, this is my recipe.
Excuse me.
It's you.
- Do you know me? - You have no idea...
just how long I've been waiting for you.
That, this, and this.
It's your recipe, right?
- Yes. - Ever since you visited our store,
our sales hit its monthly highest.
(Crab Meat in Endless Torment)
Here you go.
There you go. Please enjoy!
Thank you. Good day.
If it's all right with you,
I'd like to offer you a part-time job.
- A part-time job? - I won't be cheap...
with your salary.
There's one condition.
- What's that? - Just like...
your last recipe,
could you come up with other combinations?
So that's his intention.
Hold on. It's not a bad offer,
and I don't have anything better to do.
What do you say?
You probably are too busy to take the offer, right?
I am currently working on a project.
I don't have time to work at a convenience store.
- That's too bad. - However,
you were very sincere with your offer.
Why don't I give it a go for a while?
Okay, that looks good enough.
It's a housewarming party,
so I should at least make one dish myself.
The only thing I know how to cook is fried eggs.
What do I do?
- Fun Cooking Robot? - This is the most important part.
Is this the streamer women love these days?
One cup of...
Pour it in the bowl.
If I follow his instructions,
I'll be able to make anything...
even though I'm awful at cooking.
The skin will be bouncy and chewy...
while the meat itself will have great color.
Delivery!
Are you working today too?
It's the weekend,
so you're probably thinking about five places to visit...
including the morning soccer club.
That's about right.
Once I get off work,
I'll be going to a housewarming party.
- In the evening? - Yes.
Don't worry though. I'll be back by dinner.
Right.
That reminds me.
Is Jin Mi all right?
Yes, she's more than just fine and it makes me upset.
Just shut it.
If this is how it'll be, my mouth won't possibly stay shut.
Do you know what she did yesterday?
- Jeong Sik! - What?
I'm sorry.
I accept it for now.
Gosh.
Did something happen while I was at work?
Anyway, Jin Mi, are you all right?
- Would you like some pocket money? - No, I'm good.
Give it to Jeong Sik who's struggling with...
his online streaming show.
What?
As you know,
I tried operating one myself yesterday.
I got to know just how exhausting it is.
It's hard to do everything by yourself, right?
Share the link sometime, and I'll add a few comments for you.
- My poor brother. - Jeong Sik,
is it that difficult?
You should've told me.
What are you saying? Is that how you think of me?
In terms of cook shows, mine is one of the best...
Of course.
I promise to help you fulfill that dream...
of becoming the best one day.
Darn it.
You're one to say when...
you're no longer a girl group trainee.
Anyway, I'm off to my new job where I was scouted to.
- What? - What?
Have you already joined another entertainment agency?
What? An entertainment agency?
An entertainment agency...
Yes, of course.
- That's right. - Please don't tell me...
it's one very close to bankruptcy.
Of course not.
It's a big firm, one that everyone's heard of.
Which one?
- Does it have good benefits? - Of course.
I'm nicely treated and...
Anyway,
I'll tell you about it later.
I have to get going,
so see you.
Sure.
Gosh.
I'm glad she has already bounced back.
I should get going too. See you later.
Sure thing and don't be late.
Don't make me wait!
All right.
Let's see what my mother sent over today.
Chicken, it's you.
Cost effective and tasty.
This ingredient doesn't empty our pockets...
and it fills our hearts.
It's chicken.
A chicken dish is never quite grand,
but the happiness it gives is always above average.
Soldiers, attention.
(Different sizes of chicken)
According to its weight,
chickens are given a number from 5 to 17.
Today, my mom sent me...
a size-10 chicken. Size-5 and size-6...
are for hot pot samgyetang.
Size-7 to size-12 are mostly deep fried.
Size-13 to size-17 are cooked...
into chicken soup or braised spicy chicken.
Those over the size of 10 are heavier in protein...
and give off various flavors of the fat...
which is why they taste richer than the smaller ones.
(Different sizes of chicken)
All right. What should I make today?
I got it.
Fun Cooking Robot will soon be live.
Fun Cooking Robot will soon go live.
I should watch it.
Hello, I'm Fun Cooking Robot.
Today's a special episode...
for I'll be cooking a dish in real-time.
The main ingredient is this.
Ta-da. It's chicken.
A chicken dish?
That'll be quite nice to cook for today's party.
With this chicken,
I will bring out its rich flavors...
and make a devilish dish that is both...
spicy and meaty.
It's braised spicy chicken.
I call it "Falling in Braised Chicken".
Let's make it together.
Of course.
I'm nervous to cook for the first time.
Many think that braised spicy chicken is difficult.
The recipe I'll share with you today...
will be quite easy and simple.
Anyway, I'm now off to buy some groceries.
In just an hour, meet me back on the channel...
with these ingredients.
Do you have your pen and paper ready?
No, hold on! Where's my notepad!
Where did I put it?
It's not organized at all. Hold on, slow it down.
Write down the necessary ingredients.
- Okay. Slow down. - Here we go. Onions...
All right.
- King oyster mushrooms. - Onions...
A 3rd of sweet pumpkin, 3 chunks of rice cake.
- What mushrooms? - Two eggs.
Whatever mushrooms, okay.
Rice, potatoes.
- There you go. - See you in an hour.
I don't have much time.
I didn't exaggerate, did I?
(Part-time Employment Contract)
No, I didn't lie.
This much is a big company.
This contract follows the Labor Standards Law.
This is almost like street casting.
I should work here until I pass the audition.
I smell something good.
It smells like someone who just took a shower after exercising.
I can sense a refreshing body wash scent and a delicate musk scent.
It's getting closer.
Welcome,
sir.
He's as handsome as his nice scent.
Jin Mi is upset.
I'm upset.
What? Did he just smile at me now?
Why? Did he fall in love with me?
He's not enough to make my nosebleed.
But my heart almost skipped a beat.
No, not that.
The one next to it.
Next one.
Are you looking for anything?
No, not specifically.
I'm just thinking what to eat.
Then should I recommend you some?
Sure.
Have this kimchi kimbap with...
What are you doing here?
Hi.
"Hi"?
I thought you were going to the agency.
Why are you here instead?
What do you mean, why?
I'm here to buy something here at the convenience store.
Anyway, go back to your business.
Excuse me. What should I have with this kimbap?
Jin Mi.
Who's that?
Who is he that he's asking you about it?
- Okay, I'm leaving. - Get out.
I'm leaving.
Is she broadcasting or what?
(Jjin Mi TV)
I'll end the broadcast.
Why can't you answer me? Who is he?
He's my boyfriend.
(Part 2 will air shortly.)
Answer me. Who is he?
He's my boyfriend.
Please. Help me just this once.
Boyfriend? Just like that?
You haven't had any nosebleeds lately.
Hey!
Whatever.
It's a bit early in the relationship but say hi...
while you're here.
This is my twin brother Han Jeong Sik.
Meanwhile, this is my boyfriend...
Ui Jeom. His name is Ui Jeom.
Hello, it's nice to meet you.
I see.
So how did you meet my sister?
Jeong Sik.
Weren't you on your way somewhere?
Yes, the grocery store!
Where do you keep your head?
You seem busy, so get going.
We have plans too.
Anyway, we'll talk about this later.
I'll see you around.
Sure, see you around.
Darn.
I'm sorry about that. You must be flustered.
It's fine. I had fun.
Why did you call me Ui Jeom though?
We met at a convenience store,
so that's why.
Anyway,
since I owe you one today,
I'll treat you to a Han Jin Mi Special.
(Jin Mi's Convenience Store Recipe)
(On kimchi gimbap,)
(place wasabi and grilled sweet and sour chicken.)
(Top it with sliced cheese and heat in a microwave.)
(Shut Up and Eat Gimbap)
Sweet and sour chicken, cheese, kimchi gimbap, and wasabi...
is the combination I recommend.
It's called Shut Up and Eat Gimbap.
Try one.
Isn't it good?
That was more than enough to pay for me being Ui Jeom today.
If I come around again,
will you show me another recipe?
If that's the case,
I wouldn't mind being Ui Jeom for another day.
Then...
you'll be Ui Jeom again whenever...
I teach you a new recipe.
- Okay? - Good.
I'll get going then. Thank you so much.
Sure, thank you.
Jin Mi, see you around.
What?
Here they are.
What's with all the choices?
- What... - Miss,
are you buying chicken? What do you want?
Do chickens come in various sizes?
I want one that's about this big.
What are you making?
Braised spicy chicken.
- Take this. - Thank you.
What else? Mushrooms.
Hold on a second.
What kind of mushrooms is this?
It must be pine mushroom!
(Wild pine mushroom)
Here they are.
Why is it so expensive?
I should buy it though.
Excuse me.
Yes?
Which ones are the freshest?
- The freshest? - Yes.
All of them are fresh and came in today.
I want some that are new and fresh.
Didn't you say you were making braised spicy chicken?
That's right. The name of the dish is...
Falling in Braised Chicken.
- Isn't that funny? - Yes, it sure is.
- What a funny name. - She must watch my show.
By the way, if you're going to cook braised spicy chicken,
don't use these expensive wild pine mushrooms.
You can use king oyster mushrooms. Wouldn't that be it?
"King oyster mushroom"?
There was another mushroom named king oyster mushroom.
I probably got it mixed up because I was rushing to write them down.
- That happens to the best of us. - What a lie.
You didn't know that.
Next up is the green onion.
Where are green onions?
There are chives, green onions, and scallions.
Well, green onions are all the same. I can just pick anything, right?
Since having leftover food isn't good, I'll go with chives.
She should buy green onions. Why chives?
Why isn't she buying onions? Why did she skip that?
She's clueless about cooking.
I have no choice. Since I ran into her...
Soy sauce, soy sauce, soy sauce...
Here it is.
"Thick Soy Sauce", "Soy Sauce for Soup", and "Joseon Soy Sauce"?
There are so many different sauces.
Since it's Korean food, I should...
Thick... Thick soy sauce.
I'm going with Joseon Soy Sauce.
Thick soy sauce.
All right. Where's the salt?
(Coarse Salt)
Put that in the cart.
(Seasoned Salt)
Okay. It's perfect.
Rice cake.
I'll go with this. Thank you.
I think I put in all the ingredients she needs for the dish.
How can I switch the carts without her noticing?
Yes, Manager Won.
I'm grocery shopping for the housewarming party.
Have a sample before you go.
Am I tired? No, it's all right.
Yes.
I'll try my best to prepare for the party.
I'm sorry.
I bumped into your cart when I was passing by.
- Okay. - Here you go.
It's all right.
By the way...
I'm busy. I'm going to go.
He looks really familiar.
Is he the Fun Cooking Robot?
I had no idea that he lived in my neighborhood.
Oh, no. I got to see him in person!
Wait, what am I doing here?
I should hurry.
I definitely picked out these ingredients,
but it feels like I didn't. Why is that?
(Watch Fun Cooking Robot's live streaming.)
His live show is starting.
Yes.
Let's watch this on a bigger screen. Should I watch it on my laptop?
All right. Should we start?
Did you pick out a fresh chicken?
All right. Remove its tail and wings.
Get rid of all the unnecessary fatty parts.
You can cut it into bite-sized pieces.
These days, you can just ask...
them to prepare the chicken for braised spicy chicken.
I hope everyone got the right ingredients.
We need this.
Onions.
Okay.
How do I do this? How?
Potatoes. And you need green onions, not chives.
Buy king oyster mushrooms, not expensive wild pine mushrooms.
You cannot buy steamed rice cake because it looks white.
Buy rice cake bars and chop them into bite-sized pieces.
All you have to do for a chicken dish is...
neutralizing the meat odor.
(How to Neutralize the Odor)
Marinate the chicken in milk or green tea.
When you cook the chicken, add soju, lemon extract,
curry powder, garlic, or ginger.
It's very accessible in autumn.
Put in the chestnuts without peeling them.
Boiling them together is a great tip.
The tannin in its peel neutralizes the odor.
It brings out savory and clean flavors.
You know that these peels are good for your stomach and skin, right?
When you boil them without peeling them off,
you can avoid getting the broth murky.
Try using it when you cook chicken soup or a chicken dish.
Here's my tip in cooking braised spicy chicken.
Before stir-frying the chicken,
coat the pan with cooking oil moderately.
For the chicken...
(Grilling it neutralizes the odor and adds more flavors.)
Add salt.
Add pepper too. Then grill it to a golden brown.
When you grill the chicken, you can neutralize the odor at once.
And it brings out more flavors too.
It's hot.
Why does the oil keep popping at me? What should I do?
It stings.
What should I do?
This is a nice tip.
Let me try this now.
When the chicken starts to seep out oil,
add the vegetables. And stir-fry them.
Fill up the pan with water to halfway.
Boil it for three minutes.
Just remember this to make the sauce for the braised spicy chicken.
2 for red ones and 1 for the rest.
Two spoons of chili pepper powder and gochujang.
(2 spoons of chili pepper powder and gochujang)
One spoon of soy sauce.
You can add your favorite ingredient like toppings.
Ever since I was a kid, our family added rice cake.
It's chewy and soft.
It makes the perfect pair with the chicken.
When the soup begins to boil down,
add one spoon of the starch syrup since this isn't red.
Poke the vegetable with your chopstick.
If it goes in smoothly, it means it's all cooked.
Since this isn't red, add one spoon of crushed garlic.
Sprinkle a bit of pepper.
It's ready after boiling it for one more minute.
Don't forget to sprinkle sesame seeds at the end!
Why isn't it coming out?
What should I do? Oh, no! What should I do?
Could it be... Coming!
Wait. This is bad. It's terrible.
Then it's all ready!

General Manager Lee, I thought you were Kim Hee Ae.
I knew you had good eyes.
This is my special compliment.
Goodness, Kim Hee Ae just complimented me.
Welcome.
It smells savory.
- Come inside. - Okay.
- Come on in. - Let's go in.
I was busy. I didn't have time to cook rice.
It's not a lot, but dig in.
It's really not a lot to eat. I don't know what to eat.
It's the first dish I ever cooked.
This is Falling in Braised Chicken.
It might not look good, but I'm sure it's delicious.
Just give me a little bit.
I don't have an appetite.
Seung Ah, don't get the wrong idea.
I have never been so nervous in front of food instead of a girl.
Goodness, my dear.
Even before I have a bite of it, I can guess how it will taste.
You didn't cook for a housewarming party, but for a houseruining party.
Even your cheerful personality can even make up for this.
What? Really?
I'm sorry. I've never cooked this before.
I followed the recipe from a famous online cooking show.
My goodness, it's the cooking show's fault.
The cooking show is at fault here. Bring that chef here.
Forget about it.
Let's order some fried chicken.
And let's drink some beer with that.
Then let me call the fried chicken joint that can...
make the quickest delivery right now.
Hold on. From which one will you order?
I'm not sure. Just a restaurant in the neighborhood?
What? This new recruit has no idea what she's doing.
Her ignorance level is infinite.
Her back is hunched forward as she lost her confidence.
Everyone skipped dinner so that they could eat something delicious.
But they all lost their appetite...
because of this barbaric dish made by the new recruit.
We need a dish that will stimulate our appetite again.
Our current location is Mapo-gu.
It needs to be a chicken restaurant that's only 20 minutes away.
(Housewarming party, Hopeless, 5:50pm, Starving)
It's currently 5:30pm.
Plus, it's the weekend.
Yes, that place might work.
I'll go get the chicken.
Why bother? Let's just make a delivery.
That place doesn't deliver.
Then I'll go instead.
Do you even know where?
I mean, I can't make you go.
I'll go get it if you tell me the location.
Gosh, it's okay.
San Hae's usually really fussy about all the food he eats.
He even took a day off to go all the way to Ulleung Island...
just so he could eat a bowl of fish porridge.
I mean, it's not like he's going to go to a chicken farm.
Aren't I right, San Hae?
He already left.
(Rang Bar)
Everyone in this neighborhood knows about this bar.
A lot of people working in broadcasting are regulars here.
But it's never been broadcasted on TV.
They don't want more customers, so they all keep it to themselves.
It's a place that people want to keep to themselves.
I always failed to eat chicken here.
I hope I get to succeed this time.
Can I have two chickens to go, please?
We just have two left. You're lucky today.
I'll quickly fry them for you.
Nice.
I finally got lucky today.
They only sell seven chickens a day,
so I failed every time I came.
But the reason I keep coming here...
is because they use up all the chickens for the day.
And the owner always insists on frying...
fresh, new chickens every day.
And there's also one more thing you must eat...
along with the chicken here.
Can I also have some meat jeon to go?
Not a lot of bars sell this menu,
but it's the menu that made this bar become so famous.
They fry the meat jeon in small amounts...
every time someone orders them.
So it's best to eat them at the bar.
But today, I have no choice but to pack them.
And to be honest, what I'm really looking forward to...
is the side dish that comes along with the meat jeon.
Here's your food to go.
[Kocowa Ver] MBC E04 Jang Geum, Oh My Grandma "The Fun Cooking Robot" -♥ Ruo Xi ♥-
Nice. It's amazing.
What are you doing?
Wait.
I didn't know chicken joints served kimchi as well.
The kimchi is perfectly fermented. Let me try some.
It's a mixture of green onions and leaf mustards.
It's the main dish of this bar.
It may be a side dish that comes along with the meat jeon,
but anyone who knows how to eat it will eat it with the chicken.
What's taking you so long to eat it?
Can we eat it now?
They didn't try to fool our taste buds with sauce or batter.
The meat quality is enough to make it taste good.
Unlike other places that fry the chicken twice,
this place only fries it once.
Instead, they keep the batter as thin as possible...
so that we can taste...
the meaty flavor of the chicken itself.
Mr. Han, this is so delicious.
It tastes amazing.
It's the best chicken.
But eating the chicken on its own is not the best way to enjoy it.
Are you eating chicken with kimchi?
If you eat the greasy chicken along with some leaf mustard kimchi,
you won't need any soda or pickled radish.
It will only taste extremely delicious.
Look at this beautiful kimchi that obviously looks like...
it just came out of the fridge.
I can taste the saltiness of the sea.
The leaf mustards must be from Yeosu.
I knew it. This isn't your ordinary leaf mustard kimchi.
They wanted to keep the crunchiness,
so they didn't pickle the leaf mustard in salt.
On top of that, they sprinkled a lot of red pepper seeds...
which made the kimchi taste spicy and refreshing.
And also, they got rid of the unpleasant taste by grinding...
pears, onions, dates, and chili peppers.
Why is she wasting all the chicken by eating it all on its own?
I normally don't eat kimchi without any rice.
But starting from today, I'll try eating kimchi with chicken.
I want to eat chicken with some kimchi as well.
Here.
There.
Mr. Han, this tastes so delicious.
It's as if...
Rain and Tae Jin Ah did a collaboration together.
It's making me...
sing along like this because it tastes so good.
My gosh.
- That's how good it tastes. - It's amazing.
Oh, my gosh.
Due to the fresh chicken, clean batter,
and its great harmony with kimchi, I'd love to give it five stars.
But they only sell seven chickens,
and it's not possible to buy the kimchi separately,
so I'll have to give it three and a half stars.
Mr. Han, where are you going?
We're done eating, so I'll be off now.
He's trying to leave before 7pm again.
You can't go.
Seung Ah's housewarming party only just began.
- Don't disappoint her. - He's right.
Come on, we're neighbors. Don't be so cold-hearted.
Mr. Han, our power of unity will help us sell more.
My house is nearby, so I'll be gone for only 30 minutes.
30 minutes, my foot.
You can't fool me. Leave your cell phone here.
If you don't come, I'm going to check your cell phone.
It's locked, so you can't open it.
Your passcode is 4989.
It implies your passion to sell a lot of cars.
Then... Then...
I'll be right back.
- Hey. - Mr. Han.
- Hey, guys. - Gosh, San Hae.
- Am I late? - What happened?
Why didn't you answer the phone?
Don't even ask. My cell phone's taken hostage.
Let's start eating dinner.
- Is it braised spicy chicken? - Yes.
Have some rice cakes along with the chicken.
It really tastes amazing.
All right.
Give me a lot of sweet pumpkin pieces.
Do it yourself.
This is it.
You know who I am.
The soup is amazing too.
I'll pick it up.
Here.
- It's for me? - Yes.
- Hello? - Manager Han?
Ms. Lee?
When are you coming, honey?
How did you know my home phone number?
From the emergency contact list. I memorized it from that list.
If it's going to take long, should we go to where you are?
No.
I'll go there right now.
- Where are you going? - Where are you going?
I'm leaving.
It was a good choice to get rid of the chicken odor...
by grilling it.
Come back early.
Brace yourself, or you'll get hurt.
- Goodness. - Here.
- It smells like green onion kimchi. - Even now.
Don't make me laugh.
Are you using your strength or what?
All right, here we go.
Goodness.
What was that?
She's strong, unlike her nickname.
So you really were a former shot putter.
- Goodness. - Then...
is this medal real too?
Come back, my baby
Come back to me
- Gosh. - You're the only one
- Gosh. - This is awesome.
He's here.
- You're here. - What's this?
Yes, ma'am. Give me my phone.
No, I don't want to.
I'll give it to you when I go home.
Manager Han.
Come have a drink.
- Come. - Come have a drink.
- Have a drink. - Now that he's here,
should we get into...
another round?
- Let's do another round. - Let's do it.
- Gather all the glasses. - All right.
Gather all the glasses.
- Here. - All right.
Rookie, give me a new glass.
What, three glasses?
- You'll drink that much at once? - Hey.
- You reek of alcohol. - You'll be in trouble then.
Forget it. I'll go get it.
- Gosh. - He's going to cause trouble.
- Here. - I think I'm drunk.
Let me make you soju bombs with a golden ratio.
- Gosh. - Nice.
I need to be on my toes.
Eyes are faster than hands.
Here.
Wait.
This is mine.
Okay, sir.
Why are you drawing a line over drinking glasses?
All right, what's our strong rookie,
Seung Ah's glass?
- Bottoms up. - Bottoms up.
- Cheers. - Cheers.
It really is a special soju-beer cocktail.
Thank you.
All right, lastly,
for our marketing team's big success,
Let's drink up one by one in turn.
- Let's do that. - Okay.
If there's anyone who refuses to drink...
I'll pour...
soju, beer, and makgeolli...
and put in some fruits with a lot of vitamins,
and peaches too.
- What's this? - That crazy punk.
He's put even peaches.
- This is... - That's it.
Let's start from the rookie, Seung Ah.
Me first?
- Start. - Here I go.
- Here you go. - Here I go.
Here you go.
Let's go.
Great.
- Han San Hae. - Han San Hae.
- I'll see if he drinks all up. - Han San Hae.
- Han San Hae.
It's better to bet on 1-6th probability...
than having my tongue paralyzed...
and suffering from allergic reactions at the same time.
I want to go home.
Hey.
Are you taking me home?
Yes.
Take me home.
I'll make you ramyeon with my special recipe.
Ramyeon.
That's indeed a special treatment.
Do you have jjajang ramyeon?
- Goodness. - Take me home.
- Ms. Lee, get on. - Gosh.
- Manager Han. - I'm walking straight.
- Manager Han. - Get on.
I'll buy one at a convenience store.
- Gosh. - Go in.
- Straight. - You too.
- Let's go for another round. - Go back in.
- Go home safely. - One more round.
- Why me? - Go in.
- Take off. - Let's go for another round.
- Let's go. - Please, go home safely.
- We'll go now. - Bye.
- Bye.
Go home safely.
- I have to keep my head straight. - Gosh.
Straight.
Focus.
Is it paralyzed?
It's been an hour, so I have 11 hours left.
Manager Han.
Can't you treat me better?
- Manager Han. - Hey.
Please don't hate me.
I never hated you.
You must be a little tipsy.
Your pronunciation is strange.
Manager Han, actually,
I exercised really hard for the Olympics.
Gosh.
I'm sorry.
I thought athletics was most difficult in the world.
But now that I'm working,
I've realized athletics is the easiest.
No, I take it back.
Both of them are really tough. They're tough like crazy.
But...
I, Bok Seung Ah,
won't give up...
no matter how hard it is.
Manager Han.
Until I become the marketing queen in this field,
I'll work hard, so wait and see.
I'll make sure to get recognized by Ms. Lee...
and you, my mentor.
Once that day comes,
you just need to...
commend me like this.
"Good job."
You too.
If you do a really good job later,
I'll commend you like this too.
"Good job."
What?
Why are you so stiff?
I'm trying to compliment you, so come on.
Before he called...
your name,
you were nothing,
but a mere chicken.
Where are you taking me?
Goodness, sir.
- Please... - It's from now on.
Please call the police.
When he called...
your name,
you finally became...
a golden fried chicken.
You said you went to visit the agency.
I'd like to go to him...
and become his chicken as well.
(Jang Geum, Oh My Grandma)
Guys, are you ready to fill your stomachs today?
Ramyeon is here.
Addictive ramyeon is here.
I'm sorry.
- Rookie. - I must be crazy.
What have I done?
His lips...
And my lips...
What was that? Why did you avoid meeting his eyes?
I need to be more confident at times like this.
- What took you so long? - What?
Can't you fill in just for an hour?
Isn't it written on the manual that I'm a VIP? Is it not?
How dare you run your mouth at me?
You little...
- What are you doing? - Manager Han.
