When I was fifteen,
I tasted a fortune cookie in San Francisco for the first time.
Ah... a cookie with a written
daily horoscope folded inside?
Yeah, I will never forget it!
What did it say?
"Trust in a f***ing dog than a man."
Instead of trusting a man, trust an erect dog next door.
- You trust me, right? - Of course!
The fortune cookie's not accurate. It's only for fun.
Ahjussi, you really are a thug!
Hey, lady...
Okay, let's leave the lady out of this and fight.
Didn't you get married yet?
I'm getting married tomorrow.
- Why? - You hit me, so it's okay for me to say something, right?
- Please don't get married. - Why not?
- Why don't you wait and get married later, huh? - Why?
It's too difficult to get a divorce.
You are crazy!
I'm leaving, Chef!
Hey, don't go!
Geez... why? Leave the lady alone and continue fighting.
A wedding isn't important at all.
Don't get married.
I said I'd make black bean noodles for you.
- Don't leave.! - So my wedding isn't
- important? - No, it's worse!
A wedding is a scam!
Wearing a ring and making a vow to love each other for life. A fraud!
Trust in a f***ing dog than a man.
- She's cussing, right? - I think she cussed.
Hyungnim, did you understand it?
Cuss so we understand. Don't be a coward speaking in English.
- So what about a man? - Trust in a f***ing dog
than a man.
Dog... so what about a dog?
So are you saying that I, a man,
am worse than the erect dog next door?
What you're...
saying now...
isn't...
about me, right?
Are you a woman, you thug Ahjussi?
- Hey, hey, take a look here! - So!
Why are you male dogs telling me not to get married?
How can you say my wedding's unimportant?
You're telling me, who will be a bride tomorrow,
to not marry since divorce is difficult... like a barking dog
or a squeaky mouse. Humans don't say such nonsense.
Am I wrong?
If I tell my fiancé
to keep his hair long, then he does.
If I don't like his hair short on the sides, he agrees.
If I tell him to perm his bangs, then he does.
Didn't you get married a month ago?
Wasn't it exactly a month before mine?
You became like this, after just a month?
How can love change like this?
Are you busy tomorrow?
Why?
- Busy? - I'm busy.
Even if you're busy, come.
- You're busy, right? - I'm not...
Even if you're busy, come.
Here ...
You don't need to bring any gifts.
All of you come to my wedding tomorrow,
eat a nice meal and then leave.
And Chef, let's just say I had the black bean noodles.
Thug Ahjussi, it seems you've divorced a lot since you know how difficult it is.
I'll wait for you two.
I really want to invite you. Please!
I have to be in a sleeveless tomorrow but my arms are scratched up.
If you don't show up, you're dead meat!
Hey, Hyungnim, are you going to attend her wedding?
Hyungnim!
That Sweet Bean Sauce Fly is running away.
Hey, there's still enough time left.
Want to come back or should we come to you?
Just eat all the noodles you ordered and then go.
We won't ask more of you than that.
If I return to your nasty restaurant, I'll cut off my hand.
Are you done?
I'm Chef Seo Poong at the hotel over there across the street.
If you come with this sauce, I'll make black bean noodles for you.
Why don't you learn and go?
[ Giant Hotel ]
Boss, I have the promotion report for this term.
Man... Did you follow me all the way here?
You have to present this tomorrow morning.
It's too much hassle. Let me do it with my foot.
Pardon?
Can't I?
Ah, sure.
Why are there so many forms to sign?
Ji Byun...
my toe is much stronger now than last month.
Yes.
The president wants you to spend less time working out.
Ah, before I forget
- the chef at the Chinese restaurant... - Seo Poong?
- I did as you asked. - Okay.
If we see you again, we'll make a pickle out of you,
put you in sweet bean sauce for a month,
pickling your teeth, eyes. Everything that's white
on your body will turn black and salty.
You won't even pee at night. Why?
The salt will block your urinary tract. How painful.
Hey!
Want that to happen? If not, avoid us as much as you can.
Don't ever cross to that side.
Okay?
Goodbye!
Wash up quickly.
Eat dinner and go.
You probably didn't eat yet.
I'll make wonton soup.
I won't make it spicy since it's nighttime.
♫ When we are young, we don't know... ♫
So a hotel kitchen doesn't have sweet bean sauce?
This maniac paid 40,000 won for sauce worth 40 won.
- Is he a real chef? - He probably ran out of sauce for his last dish.
Wow, he must happy.
♫ Youthfulness and love were bound together ♫
Is she from this area?
♫ At some point... ♫
We'll sing with you.
Why hold the wedding invitation from someone getting married tomorrow?
Should I make some soup for you?
- Where are you going? - Where are you going, Hyungnim?
It's good that we don't have to sign any divorce papers
since we didn't even register for marriage.
Come back home.
I just brought everything with me.
Our wedding guests will gossip about us
but it won't last more than three days.
Should we say that you left me or I ended this?
As soon as we left for the honeymoon, I regretted this marriage.
At least I can be a cheating b**** to people.
Who's the guy?
What does it matter if you know who it is?
- Since when? - So what if you know since when?
Is anything going to change?
What's the meaning behind that?
All that matters is I don't want to be with you.
I can't give up on you.
Dal Hee...
your dad...
took care of me by selling black bean noodles.
Your dad...
asked me to take care of you when he passed.
I...
was embarrassed that my dad owned a Chinese restaurant.
I think I'll be embarrassed that my kid's dad owns a Chinese restaurant.
Are you going talk so mean like that?
I'm sick of the smell of sweet bean sauce.
Let's end it.
Dal-Hee, I won't make black bean noodles here.
I'm sorry.
I shouldn't have had the wedding ceremony.
I hesitated.
Hello!
Chae Seol Ja, you are busy until nighttime.
This is the one, right?
No, not the one for the boss's wife
but mine, the purple one with
- the flowers on the side. - Ah!
Are you going to wear it now?
- Hurry! I'm afraid the boss's wife will get here first. - I found it.
Here!
Wow, you look pretty.
You can't say things like that anymore.
The "Me too" movement's caused a ruckus in Korea.
You have to be careful, too.
Bye!
Oppa, did you arrive?
I'm departing now.
I'll arrive tomorrow morning.
Okay.
Honey, I'll go straight to the ceremony. You know the tuxedo place, right?
Can you pick up my stuff for me?
Don't worry. Get plenty rest during the flight and get here safely.
Oppa.
- Huh? - I'll give you one last chance.
Do you really want to marry me?
Don't you want to be free to date, love, and live without any burdens?
If you don't want to marry, say so. It's okay.
Not at all.
- Why all of a sudden? - I gave you a chance to run away.
- Okay. - You aren't going to change after a month, right?
I love you!
Me too!
See you tomorrow!
Taxi!
- Oh my! - Get in.
I'll take you home.
Why am I getting in your car? Please keep on driving.
I was going in your direction.
Are you a stalker?
How do you know my address?
You gave me your wedding invitation.
- Your address was on it. - Ah...
I'll cancel my request of you coming to my wedding.
I'll cancel it.
You're a bride who's getting married tomorrow.
Riding a taxi is dangerous. Hurry.
Getting in the car with a thug like you is more dangerous.
Geez.
- How can it be more dangerous than getting married? - Oh, my!
Okay, wait one second.
Stay there.
Huh? Oh, my!
I didn't get to express clearly before.
Express what?
What more is there for us to say?
I don't even look at married women.
So what?
You won't be able to have me after tomorrow.
Wow...
What a waste.
Okay.
Before you get married,
I don't have to apologize for falling in love
like a crazy maniac
because you are not married yet.
You are still...
single today.
Be happy for a very long time.
Oh, wow, none of your business!
Go, please!
Please turn off.
What is this?
Please go!
- Go! - Okay!
Okay!
♫ The feeling I got from your first glance ♫
♫ was my own ♫
♫ misunderstanding ♫
♫ Your bright smile... ♫
What brought you here?
You hate coming to the hotel because of your husband.
I ended things.
I just need Seo Poong to find out about us being together.
Okay.
That's the sure method.
I deserve to die by being struck by lightning.
I want to enjoy this affair with you a little longer.
See, this is fun.
Mommy...
On my way to the hair salon, I'll pick up Oppa's shoes and tux.
So you can pick up my bouquet and the boutonnieres and come to the wedding, okay?
Okay.

Business closed?
Can't you stop now?
You can't close your business like that.
Without even thinking of me, your business failed?
I oppose this.
Buy one bag of popcorn.
Hey, this building isn't yours, right?
Didn't you say this building is yours? You close down because of slow business?
What about me?
You should have kept working as a caretaker. Why do you come here like a peddler?
We're closing because of you. With the money you took from us...
- I saw you eating black bean noodles elsewhere. - Hey, you bastard!
What else can I do? It's not tasty.
Hey!
If you're going to close the business you should've gotten my approval first.
Hey, you punks!
Hey, open this door.
Open the door! I'll break the door open. Hey!
I'm going to die tomorrow.
Gosh...
I can't find it.

What if I'm pregnant?
I'll go through so much.
So, is your name Im Ggeok Jung?
It's not Im Ggeok Jung but
it's Im Geok Jung.
Ah, okay. I'm sorry!
It's for the wedding gift.
I would like to request a one million won check, please.
Brand new check please.
All checks are new.
Here it is, Miss.
So a condom looks like this?
I'm seeing one for the first time.
Are you going to give it to your son?
- Congratulations, Chef Poong! - Hi.
Today, the promotions will be announced.
It's obvious who is responsible for the hotel receiving two Michelin stars.
Let's go.
Good morning!
The door's closing.
Seo Poong and you are in charge of the ingredients, right?
You didn't use the bird's nest from Indonesia, Yenwoo.
You spent one tenth of the price and charged the full price.
You didn't use the shark fin from Hong Kong.
You used fins from the Philippines.
You charged 600 thousand won
instead of 60 thousand won per kilogram?
I... I'm so sorry.
I'll promote you to be the person in charge of the cooking station.
- Yes. What? - You are not the one who did it, right?
Poong did it, right?
Yes.
Do you think Poong...
- values you as a chef? - Then what?
Poong would never train
a female chef in his kitchen.
He'll make females cut onions all day.
How long are you going to be his assistant?
You...
are fired!
Don't you know that our hotel can't accept the key individually?
I'm so sorry, Chef.
After work, Chef Poong
cooked delicate dishes and sent them out
many times when I was still here.
Okay, fired.
Cooking station agreed!
Chopping station, agreed!
Hall management, agreed!
[ Gan Bo Ra ] Hey, you're promoted!
It's all because of you.
[ Goong Rae Yeon ] Goong Rae Yeon, hey, you're a manager now!
Quiet now. Next!
Who's next? Me, Maeng Sam Sun, me!
Hey, Maeng Sam Sun!
- Congratulations! - Thank you, my friend.
It's all because of you.
But I don't see your name.
The next page is for those who transfer out from here.
[ Transfer to Gyeonggido branch Chef Seo Poong ]
It's a promotion all right.
He's transferring out.
Dragon Palace...
What does this company do?
- Mister. - Yes?
This line all the way down here
has to feel just right.
- This detail. - Are you satisfied?
Thank you, sir!
- Pick another one. - Really?
Thank you very much!
Wow, you must be rich.
That small one costs 10 million won.
But it fits you really well.
It's too shiny and expensive-looking. It's tacky.
- A different one. - Okay, sir. Just a moment.
Oh, I'm sorry!
- I'm sorry. - It's okay.
So, they don't serve any tea here?
Wow!
Why are they so busy?
Hello.
I'm here to pick up a tuxedo.
Oh, okay, Miss. Give us a minute. Mr. Kang!
Yes, Sir!
Sir, when I bumped into you,
did you pick up something from the floor?
- I think it fell to the ground. - No, I didn't.
- Oh, no! - Why are you doing this to a customer?
Miss Kim, what is it?
- Hey, this? - What is it?
What's going on?
They're treating me like a thief or something.
I'm innocent! I'm really innocent!
I don't have it. I don't!
What!
If you can't believe me, why don't you check your CCTV?
I'm in a hurry too.
I'll pick up my shoes next door and come back.
I'm sorry!
What are you doing?
Move over.
What the?
Oh, my gosh!
Wait a minute.
Hands off!
- Leave it. - I can't. Hands off!
I thought you would be happy.
It's a promotion. Your salary doubled.
Not an assistant chef but a head chef...
assistant manager to a head manager...
you reached your goal. So what's with the face?
So!
What kind of place is this Dragon Palace?
You thought we didn't know?
You helped us to get two Michelin stars,
filled our banquet halls, and
promoted our hotel to a six-star hotel.
We recognized and approved of your work.
What?
I'll talk to the director.
- It's our CEO's vacation house. - What would I do there?
- The work you used to do. - I work three to four times a year,
waiting for the CEO to come, while my wok, knife, and
my skills are wasted there?
I used to cook and serve thousands of people each day.
You have embezzled money buying ingredients.
You cooked dishes for personal reasons and took them out.
And you mismanaged the employees. So the system has to be reestablished.
You made the kitchen and hall crew
strip down to be checked when they leave work.
- Director! - Hey!
You should be thankful we're not sending you to jail.
You prideful bastard!
You think our restaurant can't succeed without you?
You think this organization is a scarecrow?
This hotel's central business is the Chinese restaurant.
This Chinese restaurant's central employee is me.
Seo Poong!
You can't do this without me, the central figure.
Thank you, Friend. Thanks.
There isn't one company that can't
operate because of one person.
Don't be delusional.
I'll talk to the CEO!
Where's the...
CEO?
