[ Episode 6 ]
Good morning.
It's time to get up.
I'm hungry.
Dal Hee.
[ Operation Room ]
Hello.
Let's meet at the real estate agent's office in an hour.
Let me think about it.
If you open up your office nearby, we can see each other when you're busy.
There aren't any cosmetic surgery clinics nearby, right?
Let's put it on the third floor. I already put the deposit.
Don't start with the loan from the bank.
There's no need. I'm here.
Geez...
I want my guys to quit working as loan sharks.
I wish they'd open up their own restaurants
and live just like everyone else.
As their big brother.
[ East Seoul Prison ]
Did you eat?
I don't know.
How's mom?
I don't know.
How about your husband?
I don't know.
You know. Why do you keep saying you don't?
I don't know.
Na O Jik, that son of b****...
He said he loves you. Is this his love?
He didn't even show up at the wedding.
- Don't say that about Oppa. - Wake up. He's not your oppa.
Why did you sign the marriage certificate so early?
- Tell him that you'll divorce him. - Divorce?
Of course, you have to.
I don't want a divorce. If you want, you get a divorce.
What husband would not even show up to his wedding
run away to another country
in situations like this?
It's over!
How much money do you have?
I don't know.
- You believe in me, right? - Of course I do.
I'm hiring a lawyer and doing everything I can.
Just endure for a few months. I'll be out soon.
It's unfair. They stabbed me in the back.
But...
I still can't get out right away.
Just a few months.
If you endure a few months, I'll prove my innocence.
And I'll make sure you and your mom have your lives back the way it was.
You have to stay strong, okay?
How much money do you have?
I borrowed money.
From whom?
Who would lend you money?
Who'd lend you money when your friends and families are all ignoring you.
Light and shadow.
What kind of place is "Light and Shadow?"
Who is he?
It's a bank. He's a good guy.
A man?
Is there such a bank?
Don't you ever get a private bond, okay?
- Dad. - Yeah?
- I met a fortune teller. - A fortune teller? In the middle of this?
[ Lift your head and see the stars. Don't just look at your feet ]
- Who gave you that fortune? - This guy.
- A man? - A nice man.
- Is he the same guy who lent you the money? - No, a different guy.
Is he the one who attended the fencing school you ran?
No, you don't know him.
- How do you know he's a good guy? - I know.
- You don't know men. - I know.
Which one is the better one?
- A fortune teller? - Why?
I don't know.
What good is telling fortunes?
A guy with the money is better.
- Is that right? - Of course!
That may be.
- You like both of them? - Yeah.
Promise me one thing.
You have to eat, okay?
- Are you going to eat, too? - I already ate.
They make pretty good soup and rice here.
You have to eat well and stay strong in times like this, okay?
[ Big Dipper Building ]
Thank you.
Do you want me to take you?
Why?
Nothing.
Mr. Light.
It's not light but debt.
Mr. Light.
Why are you smiling?
Because there's not only debt but light in the world, too.
Light...
Mr. Light...
Teach us how to make black bean noodles. That's the most popular dish.
- Is this a school? - What?
This is a business.
Unless we get an order, we won't make one bowl of black bean noodles.
We'll make only the orders we get.
Sometimes, we don't even get a customer rarely two.
How are we going to learn to make all the dishes only with the orders we get?
Aren't you going to take an order?
A customer?
Not a customer.
A small sweet and sour pork.
Such a bad luck to get...
SOB, you have no eyes? What am I if not a customer?
I'll pay for it. Here, I have money.
- She's our first customer. - She's not a customer.
- Small sweet and sour pork costs 12,000 won. - Give me a discount of 2000 won.
No way, Jose!
Go!
Hey, you bastard.
Where is Chil Seong?
Our first customer's order is small sweet and sour pork. Get your knife.
She's not a customer.
Are you in charge of chopping? Get to it.
She's a peddler.
- Who's in charge of the wok? - Me.
- How about the onion? - Me.
- Three onion choppers? - Have you ever had tendinitis making noodles?
There are seven different kinds of noodle dishes in Chinese restaurant.
And the most popular dish is the black bean noodles.
That's convincing.
All the restaurants use factory dumplings for free service, but we don't.
We gave up on sales, but our dumpling skins are the best.
That makes sense.
If we don't give out free dumplings, we have no customers.
Right on.
Dumplings are easy to eat, but do you know how hard it is to make?
- Hey, you need to cut your nails now. - Only me?
Don't shed your hair.
- You're losing hair, huh? - I'm not.
- Who's in charge of the hall? - Is it me?
Oh, whoever is free.
Right...
Since we don't have customers...
It doesn't matter who does it.
Whoever can... "Welcome."
I won't tolerate "whoever and anyone" to serve customers in my kitchen.
- Your kitchen? - Your kitchen, huh?
We opened for two hours.
We finally got our first order after no one ever came by.
She ordered a small sweet and sour pork.
She asked for a discount, so make the portion smaller.
Use the same exact ingredients and make it good. Ready?
Call me chef.
Who?
Chef Poong.
Chef? Is it like Shi-fu?
You don't have to call me that, if you don't want to.
What are you doing? The first customer's waiting. We don't have time.
Sweet and sour pork is a basic Chinese food, so you all know how to make it, right?
Hey, you punks!
Did you go to butcher a pig?
Did you go to pick a pineapple?
Why don't you even serve me a glass of water?
If you don't give it to me now, I'll leave.
Before she leaves... Ready the chopping knife!
Hey man, easy does it... Your eyes are going to pop out.
- Fire up the wok. - Oh, okay, okay... fire, fire, fire.
- Ready the noodles! - Noodle station ready!
Ready, ready.
What would you like?
I crave black bean noodles since our hotel doesn't serve them.
- Let's eat black bean noodles. - Okay, whatever is fine.
Looks like you have lots of money. Order something more expensive.
Give me two black bean noodles.
- Rich bastards are worse. - The real estate office upstairs was closed.
Do you know what time they'll open?
Is it closed?
- He'll be on time for lunch. - It'd be perfect if we eat and go.
Interested in an office, huh? The third floor? I think it's vacant.
Hey!
Sorry. We'll bring it right out.
Two orders of black bean noodles. There are more customers.
I'll check.
A small sweet and sour pork and two black bean noodles. Get to work!
- Black bean noodles! - Black bean noodles!
I want the operation, please.
It's the last stage, so the operation won't do much.
Chemotherapy will be very expensive, would that be okay?
I want the operation.
An average weight of a person is 50 to 60 kilograms.
The horse's weight is ten times more.
That means the chemo treatment will be ten times more.
That doesn't increase the survival rate.
It's really sad, but people usually put them to sleep.
No, please allow me to at least do this.
My husband disappeared and my dad is in prison.
I want to take care of Imma.
That's the least I can do.
I want Imma to live as long as he can right next to me.
Please save him.
Umm... I love you.
- Me, too. - Kiss me.
Not a peck, a kiss... okay just hug me then.
Okay.
Hug me tighter.
I love you.
Who's this? So dense.
Hey, don't go.
Sae Woo, do you want to eat ramen? Sae Woo!
I asked for a platter. Why are you giving me plates?
Hey, we won't serve fried dumplings!
We have to serve free fried dumplings with two black bean noodles.
What exactly is a platter?
Did you want a platter or a plate?
Why do you keep asking for that? My eyes are burning.
Forget it. We don't have any broth, so we'll use extra onions to enhance the flavor.
Hey, isn't half an onion enough for a bowl of black bean noodles?
Only half?
Put five more.We use two and a half onions for one bowl.
So many onions. We can make 10, 20 bowls of noodles with this.
I'm dying. You're doing this on purpose to pay me back, aren't you?
Hey!
The granny's teeth are bad. Use tenderloins.
Five-millimeter thickness and three centimeters length, like your fingers, okay?
Hey, you! Bring the ginger wine and marinate the meat, okay?
Hey, you. Pinch of salt and pepper for the initial marinade, okay?
Hey, you're not using your brain. Why are you losing hair? Use your brain!
Bring carrots and other vegetables. I need to cut them. Hurry.
The foundational ingredient for any Chinese restaurant is onions.
You can't cut it like however you want. Cut them the same length and shape.
Like machinery work from the factory! 1:1, 2:2 ratio. A perfect square, okay?
The customer has been waiting, so cut it right starting now.
One centimeter by one centimeter, okay?
- Are you crazy? - Hurry!
- Hey! - Now!
I'll chop.
Hey, there's a new thug in the kitchen.
It feels like a real restaurant.
I ordered the sweet and sour pork and I've been waiting forever. Will it come out tomorrow?
- Don't leave today. - Why?
- It'll taste good today. - I doubt it.
You're not allowed to come into the kitchen.
Ow!
What's going on?
It's okay.
Should we leave?
- But we ordered. - But they're so bad.
No need to taste it.
But still...
- Let's use the noodle making machine. - What about the noodles he was working on?
Move over.
Wait a minute.
Lift your eyes and see the star.
Don't just look at your feet.
I wonder what the chef got for his fortune.
He orders everyone around, but why isn't he working?
Hey, chef.
Hey, chef!
Why?
The batter is thicker than the meat.
The thickness of the pork should be .8 centimeters.
You made it like this?
The best meat texture for the palate is a ratio of 1:.8. Memorize!
Hey!
Come and take off the batter. As if in autumn weather.
You forgot the pineapples again, huh?
Geez...
Hey, bring the noodles.
For summer, one minute and for two minutes in the winter. Consider the weather when cooking the noodles.
Just say you have to boil for a minute and a half.
I don't like to make sweet and sour pork. Black bean noodles is the best Chinese food.
- I'll make that. - You make the sweet and sour sauce. Should I do nothing?
Hey, look.
Look how perfect the color looks.
Look how he's shaking the wok and the onion's still together, huh?
He is the best at making black bean noodles.
Okay, let's switch.
I'm making this.
- You send out sweet and sour pork. - Let's switch then.
Later, he's going to ask to switch women, too.
- Switch when I tell you to switch. - You looking down on sweet and sour pork?
So, you're allowing us to make sweet and sour pork?
- Give it! - No, you can't. Are you trying to make both dishes?
Service.
Service?
No, serve this one.
- Hurry up! - Geez.
What is this?
What are you doing?
- We'll serve my black bean noodles. - Wash that properly.
You're just going to rinse the sauce covered wok?
You didn't wash that wok with detergent... did you?
- Of course. - Hey man, it's really clean.
Hyungnim, please prepare the noodles.
Wait. We'll serve mine.
You're dead if you serve that!
Did we add poison or burn it? Hyungnim made it right.
Chopping onions, boiling noodles, and frying the black bean sauce.
- I did everything you told me to. - That'll smell like dishwashing soap.
- Please don't. - Give me a freaking break.
You have to use soap to wash it well. You don't even know the basics.
No, let me go. Please let me go!
You can't serve that!
- Hold him down! - Let me go!
Hey, this tastes so good!
Don't eat.
What are you doing here?
What are you doing to the customer?
- Is he the one who made this? - He's the new chef.
Are you working here?
- You got a job quickly. - Just go now.
You'd like to take out every strand of noodles from our mouths, huh?
Did you make this with soap water?
You had no time to make the broth.
Did you use the soapy water instead of broth?
Are you telling me to eat this?
Why is he picking a fight?
Hey!
Are you crazy?
- Are you in your right minds? - Why?
It's so good, you thugs. It melts in my mouth.
- I don't even have to chew. - You don't?
You didn't even taste it yet? You made this, right?
Do you think a ghost made it then?
You'll make a lot of money in no time, you bastards.
Let's see how good it is.
It's so tasty.
Isn't it good?
Let's go.
I want to give an advice
to my former employee with what care I have left over.
Don't use fire to the flavor. It tastes burnt.
Don't make noodles like this. Just use a machine.
Chop onions right.
It has just the right amount of greasiness.
How can you run a business in front of the hotel when you can't even make black bean noodles right.
If it tasted alright, then I would've considered ordering it whenever I craved it.
It won't do.
Let's go, Dal Hee.
Is he one? The hotel owner you want to take revenge?
Is that right?
Is it?
No?
It's so good.
Isn't it good?
You know... the customer
- can't come in to the kitchen. - Sure... I'm leaving.
Boss.
Boss, did you taste the sweet and sour pork?
When it comes to the kitchen
I'm the king.
You want to die?
Poong is right.
- Boss? - I'm the answer in the kitchen.
Do just as Poong tells you to do.
Even your boss
is below me
in the kitchen.
What did you say, you a**hole? Should I sew up your lips?
You don't ever want to taste food, huh?
Poong is... Poong is...
You need to calm down.
How dare you throw your knife in the kitchen.
Chopping block, you're fired.
Hey, you bastard.
What are you doing now, huh?
You don't even have any respect for your elders?
A wok that's been heated with1000 degrees
is clean and sanitary even when only washed with water.
Like idiots, you used detergent to wash it?
Black bean noodles tastes like detergent.
Sweet and sour pork tastes like detergent.
Wok handler who made every dish taste like detergent.
You're also fired.
- Hey! - You!
Doesn't ask for a salary, listens well, and never questions authority,
fast and accurate, making noodles evenly. A machine is better. We'll use a machine from now on.
- Noodle maker, you're fired, too. - Shut your mouths.
In the midst of all kinds of chaos and craziness in the kitchen
you hurt your shoulder making noodles, right?
For the effort and endurance you displayed, you get to stay. That's all.
What in the world do you think you are? How dare you fire hyungs?
You don't have any right to fire anyone.
The fried dumpling contained your hair and nail.
I thought you added human meat in the dumpling.
For the murder you committed, you're fired, too.
So?
In the contract, you said I had to work with your thugs
but there's nothing about not firing them.
All of you are fired.
Do not come into my kitchen.
Get lost.
- Are you crazy? Huh? - Crazy?
You're a group of thugs playing with fire and woks, but not cooks.
Go outside and be thugs. Do what you're used to doing!
Don't play with food and cause trouble in here.
I shouldn't have to be humiliated because of you.
I can't do business with you.
- I don't have any margin to go down with you. - Stop.
- You go out then. - That's right.
Who says?
I...
say so.
