(Episode 25)
Standing here with you like this...
reminds me of the day I asked you to have an affair with me.
Like this.
I...
like you.
More than Chil Seong.
I can't stop liking you.
I'm a bad guy.
So...
you can't...
hate me, okay?
What are we going to do now?
Are you...
a gangster or a cook?
I'm both.
You're not afraid of handling knives.
That means you deserve to work in the cutting part.
If you only focus on showing off,
and your right hand doesn't work in harmony with your left hand,
you'll end up losing a finger.
Why are you doing this all of a sudden?
Try holding it.
The back of your right and left hand...
should be in the same level.
The right hand should trust the left hand with the ingredient...
and just follow along.
I like you so much.
Me too.
What are we going to do now?
We both like each other, so there's nothing to worry about.
What's the problem?
I don't know. I'm just...
Just hearing that...
you like me too...
Don't be afraid.
I'll protect you.
From now on,
I'll love you more than you love me.
I'll never run away from you all of a sudden.
I'll pick up your calls...
even if I can't pick up anyone else's.
I promise I won't ever hurt you.
That's why I hesitated.
I couldn't confess my feelings unless I was sure.
We both...
had a hard time with our marriage.
Yes, we did go through a pretty rough patch.
Let's forget about the past.
As...
we both love each other?
A Chinese cleaver can be used differently...
according to which part you decide to use.
The onions you add to jjampong...
need to be sliced very quickly,
so you need to use the middle part of the knife to chop them.
Try it.
Like this.
Okay.
The onions you add to gan jajangmyeon...
need to be sliced with the back part of the blade.
Don't hold the knife too far away from the cutting board.
You just need to push the blade into the onion.
Then make sure you cut the pieces in the same size.
Okay.
Just push it in.
Good job.
Now, you need to be very delicate...
when you're handling the front part of the blade.
These little ingredients still need to have a nice texture.
So you use this part to slice them very quickly.
Where are you looking?
Look at your left hand. Only look at the knife.
When you're chopping, you need to trust your left hand.
When you're working with fire, the ladle needs to trust the wok.
And when you're chopping, your left hand needs to trust your right.
- Don't ever forget that. - Okay.
Stay relaxed.
You're doing well.
Do it again.
Dim Sum.
Goodness.
Why aren't you asleep?
I guess you can't fall asleep because you have a worry.
It's...
hard to fall asleep tonight.
Dim Sum. You like milk, right?
Do you want to have a latte with me?
Why are you still awake?
Do you want some too?
You won't be able to fall asleep if you drink coffee now.
I know I can't fall asleep tonight even without the coffee.
Do you want me to cook you something?
No.
Here.
Thanks.
Earlier...
The old lady...
My...
Mother...
Anyway,
I heard you made her jajangmyeon.
Thanks.
Is she an old lady or your mother?
I don't know.
Is it so hard to say "mom"?
I've never called anyone Mom before.
You can start calling her Mom.
No.
Repeat after me.
I'll go to sleep now.
- Mother. - You should go to sleep too.
Mom.
My parents passed away when I was young,
so I never got to say it much.
So let me say Mom all I want.
You can say that out loud if you don't have a mom.
So call her mom when you can.
Poong.
- Yes? - I...
decided to be a mom for the kitten...
that lives outside the restaurant.
Sae Woo is its dad.
So Sae Woo and I are a couple.
Sae Woo called me,
"Dim Sum's mommy".
She said we should raise the kitten together.
She wants us to be good parents.
Good job.
Poong.
Yes?
Earlier...
when Sae Woo called me Dim Sum's mom,
I felt like my heart...
just got a hole in it.
She rejected me twice.
But I guess I'm still not over her.
You know how a canned food has an expiration date?
I hope someone can tell me that...
my feelings have expired,
and that they need to be...
thrown out.
Dim Sum.
That kitten's name is Dim Sum.
Dim Sum.
Chil Seong.
Yes?
I have something to tell you.
Actually...
I'm wearing your underwear.
Did you get the groceries?
Yes.
- Aren't you going home? - I'm going to sleep here.
Good night.
You said you had something to say.
Yes.
It's nothing.
I'll go take shower first.
Okay.
(Dan Sae Woo)
Yes?
I just wanted to check if you'd pick up.
Okay.
This is our first phone conversation.
- You're right. - Were you asleep?
- No. - Then what are you doing?
Well, I'm on the phone with you...
and brushing my teeth.
With your clothes off?
Yes.
All of them?
Yes. Completely naked.
I was just kidding.
- Sae Woo. - Yes.
I'm going to tell Chil Seong...
that I like you.
Can I do that?
Yes. Okay.
Good night.
Okay. Good night.
Bye.
(Chilseong Building)
This side is bruised like it's a squished raisin.
Your nose is ugly. So are your lips.
At least this eye looks like my favorite snack, almonds.
- Do you like almonds? - Yes.
What about tofu?
I like tofu more than rice.
Then I'll make almonds in hot pepper sauce.
I'll make almonds in hot pepper sauce. Come to work early.
It's almond tofu.
- Did you sleep well? - Yes.
It's for breakfast, so instead of fried tofu,
try almond tofu.
I love fresh tofu.
Tofu made with almonds is so good.
It's really tasty.
Isn't it good?
I'm sure I'm the only one...
who eats such delicious tofu made fresh in the morning.
It tastes savory until the end since it wasn't fried.
It's good.
I'll...
introduce you to my family.
Okay.
Soon.
Okay.
It's so good.
Master Wang.
Is it true that Mr. Yong will call the director of the hospital...
to bring the reservation...
of 100 people back to us?
That was our reservation to begin with!
They had their gatherings monthly for over 10 years!
Gosh.
Hey.
Are you planning to let the reservation...
at Poong's restaurant become a no-show?
But you were there during their showdown.
Poong won fair and square.
It wouldn't make sense to get the customer to cancel,
but a no-show?
They probably bought all their ingredients already.
I'm sure they blocked off the restaurant for the event.
Do you know how much loss Poong will see?
Whose side are you on?
It's not a matter of taking sides. A no-show is...
Didn't you hear that the hotel will be in trouble without it?
Most of our customers are from Taeyang Hospital.
What if they start going to Poong's restaurant?
What if they like it?
What if it's cheaper and more delicious than here?
That means you and I will have to pack up and leave.
Pull yourself together.
I'm back, boss.
I have the kitchen staff's payments in envelopes.
It's their first pay.
- I'll wire them from next month. - Okay.
Are you waiting for someone?
No.
Your mother hasn't come since.
I'm sick of deveining shrimp.
I feel like they'll show up in my dream and devein me.
This is for kkanpung shrimp.
Shrimp and vegetables are separate.
Okay. Good to go!
- Good to go! - Good to go!
This is going to the room. Chi Su and Dong Sik, hurry.
- Yes, chef. - Yes, chef.
Chef.
These customers must be coming back...
after the Whole Shrimp Dim Sum Festival.
We're getting so many orders of tangbao.
I guess so.
Jajangmyeon and sweet and sour pork...
are classics at Chinese restaurants.
The 100 people from the hospital also ordered...
jajangmyeon and sweet and sour pork.
Once they try the food and like it,
we're going to get so famous.
There are thousands of people working at the hospital.
It's going to be huge, right?
Let's talk after we finish our reservation successfully.
Chef, you're way too serious.
- Good to go! - Good to go!
I'm serving the kkansho shrimp.
Wait, lady.
How many times are you going to confuse...
kkanpung shrimp and kkansho shrimp?
You were confused between kkanpunggi and kkanpung shrimp too.
You can't serve the wrong dish to the wrong table.
All three dishes must be consumed fast...
to get the smoky taste.
While you go back and forth trying to check if it's right,
they're missing out when the dish is the best.
The sauces are similar.
No, they're not. They just have the same color.
Kkanpung uses a dry sauce, why kkansho uses a wet sauce.
Hey...
The hall and the kitchen are not separated.
Both sides...
must breathe together for the right dish to be served.
What completes a delicious dish...
isn't the kitchen. It's the server. Do you understand?
Yes, chef.
This is for table five. Hurry.
No.
I'll redo it. It's soggy now. It's not going to taste as good.
If we serve it like this, we're admitting...
that our kitchen isn't working in order.
Go to table seven to tell them their food will be delayed.
Okay. Chef, first...
Just look at it.
Due to a single problem, food for another table...
is delayed. There are too many problems.
Do you see it?
You didn't even ask me before you slyly moved...
to the hall instead of doing the dishes.
I decided I should let you do it if you wanted it so much.
But if you can't serve properly,
come back to the kitchen, and assume your original role...
as a dishwasher.
If you don't like the kitchen so much, you can just leave.
Please do it properly.
Are you firing me right now?
I'm telling you...
you could be fired if you keep this up.
Clean it up.
Sizzling plate!
(Light and Shadow Loans)
(Hungry Wok)
(We have a break time so that we can provide the best service.)
Where did everyone go...
without me?
Can you give me your most popular sandwich?
Please pick your vegetables and sauces.
Can I add avocado?
Sure. Avocado.
I'm scared he'll show up in my dreams.
Chef Poong...
is so mean to you.
Are you okay, Mom?
You were the one who brought in those customers.
People now know that a pretty lady is serving,
so we're no longer known as the gangster's restaurant.
It was all thanks to you.
Chef Poong only looks at what you don't do well.
He embarrassed you.
That's true.
Mom, it's your favorite. Avocado.
You said it makes you feel better.
- Avocado? - Yes.
It looks good.
Hey,
about Chef Poong...
I'll lose my appetite.
Don't bring him up again.
(Hungry Wok)
Where is everyone?
(Hungry Wok)
Hey, Bo Ra.
Poong. I'm telling you this just in case.
Okay.
I'll look into it.
- Yes, chef. - Hello.
Do you know...
if the reservation might get canceled?
What are you talking about?
Of course not.
You won the competition.
Did someone say something?
No, it's nothing.
I'll see you then.
Did you eat?
Isn't it hot?
Do you want to go get ice cream?
Quiet.
What?
They can hear you outside.
- Go ahead and break it all. - Don't smile.
Why don't you just destroy the entire place?
Gosh, don't smile.
Did you just tell me not to smile?
Come over here.
I said, don't smile.
I think they're fighting.
Sae Woo must be telling him off...
for mistreating you and telling you that you could get fired.
Look at him smiling...
when Sae Woo's talking to him.
I guess he has enough energy to smile for Sae Woo.
Do you think he likes her?
He used to mistreat her...
way worse than how he treated you.
You're right.
Can't I even smile when we're together?
Don't smile.
And why am I not allowed to smile?
Why?
Right. Okay.
- Does Chef Poong like you? - What?
I'm asking if Chef Poong likes you.
No, Mom.
Then why does he smile at you?
Can't he smile?
What's the big deal about smiling?
I need to go.
Isn't Chef Poong married?
He got divorced.
If, by any chance, he turns out to like you,
I won't allow you to go out with him.
Once your father gets released from prison,
you need to meet a nice guy that's on the same level as you.
Just because you're working here...
doesn't mean you can fall for guys like him.
No.
You should just quit working here.
Gosh, I don't like him.
And he doesn't even think of me as a woman.
But what if he does?
I don't even want to think about the possibility of him liking you.
I know he used to be a hotel chef, but that was in the past.
Now, he's even having trouble paying his employees.
Do you know why he got divorced?
He doesn't even have a house.
He sleeps here most of the time.
Gosh, it can never happen.
No way. You can never get with a guy like him.
And it's not like he talks nicely either.
How dare he?
She's right.
- How could he? - Exactly.
My gosh! My goodness.
My gosh.
Gosh.
What are you doing here?
Nothing.
I'll get going now.
Leave it there. I'll take it.
I'll take it.
There's nothing going on.
(Hungry Wok)
- See you tomorrow. - See you tomorrow.
Let's go home together from now on.
We have a big day tomorrow, so you should go home early.
