One more try and if it doesn't work, let's go home.
Yes, Chef.
[ Episode 21 ]
It's getting big.
Wow, it's not popping.
Wow!
It's working.
Are you crazy?
Are you insane?
I'm just happy that the balloon worked.
If you're happy with the balloon, then kiss the balloon.
Why did you kiss my cheek?
Well...
I signed the divorce papers.
I ended it.
I won't meet anybody.
I'll just work.
Don't you guys go home?
What are you doing?
We're making a balloon with the dumpling skin. It works now.
Balloon with a dumpling skin?
Boss, do you want to try?
It really works.
Here.
Hold here.
Blow with your mouth.
- Like this? - Yes.
- Bring it together like this. - How?
Bring it together and blow gently.
Wow.
- It works. - Wow, the dumpling skin becomes a balloon.
Look, it works.
Wow, it really becomes a balloon.
Wow, this is amazing.
- How can a dumpling become a balloon? - Why did you come this late?
I came to check on you.
To see if you're doing well.
You are doing well.
- So, is this right? - Yes.
Now, you have to use another one.
Wow, this is...
The crispiness of the outside and
the juicy shrimp stuffing inside
is the key to making menbusha.
In twenty years,
I perfected it.
Would you try it?
I came to see you as a knife handler of Hungry Wok.
Stop the All-Parts Shrimp Festival right now.
Hungry Wok?
Do you really work there?
You...
became a thief stealing other people's recipe?
Is that something a chef should do?
I really didn't know.
Seol Ja.
Twenty years ago,
I sold my conscience in Beijing
and ran away with your money to Korea.
But now, my conscience is as sharp as a knife.
Trust me.
Look. Your knife skill fits a grand place like this.
Come out of that menial Chinese restaurant right now.
Let's work together.
I'm not interested.
I'll give you three times
of your salary right now.
Three times?
That's close to 10 million won.
I'll give you 10 million won.
Are you serious?
Boss.
- Yeah? - If Chef Poong and I fall in the water, who would you rescue?
You, the sweet lobster.
Chef Poong!
If the boss and I fall in the water, who would you rescue?
I would rescue the boss.
Ask me now.
I don't want to.
The answer is you.
Okay.
If Poong and I fall in the water, who would you rescue?
I'd rescue Chef Poong!
See.
Why?
Looks like boss can swim and come out by yourself.
You're good at fighting, too.
You're saying I'm cool, right?
It means I'm a manly man.
Right.
I'm a good swimmer.
I'm better than Poong.
You have good eyes.
Hyung.
If all of us fall in the water,
who would rescue us?
Don't worry.
I really am a good swimmer.
I'd rescue both of you.
Don't you think I'm cool? Let's drink.
If you don't go home
and sleep here,
then sleep upstairs. There are many rooms.
- Follow me. - It's okay.
You can live with me.
Until you find a new home.
- Follow me. - I'm okay.
Hey, really.
Listen to hyung, you rude bastard.
Hey, hey...
C'mon...
Are you proposing to a man or something?
- Follow me. - What are you doing?
[ Hungry Wok, All-Parts Shrimp Dim Sum Summer Festival ]
[ All-Parts Shrimp Dim Sum Festival ]
Poong is a fire handler.
Poong can't appreciate a knife handler like you.
Don't work with Poong.
I'm a knife handler like you.
The success and failure of a restaurant depends on the knife, not fire.
Don't work for people who are ignorant about that.
The weather forecast said that it'll rain today.
It's not raining.
No, it said it'll pour.
- But it's not raining. - It'll come.
It's not.
Wow.
- Daebak. - I told you so.
Wow, daebak.
♫ Did I long for you this much ♫
- Boss. - Huh?
You brought two umbrellas.
If I bring one, you'd see right through me.
This is the reason why I can't hate you.
Sae Woo.
Yes.
Don't hate me.
If you can't love me.
If I can't love you, at least don't hate you, huh?
In such a short time,
you went through both a wedding and divorce. You must've struggled a lot.
And someone like me
having a crush on you.
From now on,
I won't give you any pressure.
I'll just be your boss.
So don't be awkward. Be at ease.
Be comfortable, okay?
Be strong.
Thank you.
♫ The moment you left ♫
♫ Everyday, my tears won't leave me. ♫
♫ Maybe that's why ♫
♫ I stopped you and ran to you instead ♫
It stopped.
Yeah, it stopped.
- Go! - Yes.
So starting today, the All-Parts Shrimp Festival begins.
Oh Maeng Dal is the knife handler's assistant.
Jeon Yi Man's in charge of the ingredients.
Yang Kang Ho's doing the dishes.
Mong Chi Su's the noodle maker's assistant.
If you do well with this event, you'll remain here.
If your attitude is like before,
then you go back upstairs.
Okay?
Yes, Chef!
Boss, you're in charge of the register.
Take off your sunglasses and be nice with a big smile.
Okay?
Okay.
Chef.
Plus,
my right arm
is completely healed.
Yeah!
Now, your true skill comes out, huh?
Dan Sae Woo who was like my right hand
will assist the fire handler.
Yes, Chef.
Did the Knife Handler say
she'll be late to any of you three?
She'll be here soon. She's never been late.
She sharpened her knife before she went home yesterday.
Is there traffic?
Today, we'll have a new knife handler.
Even though she's a woman,
she has the same level of skills as me.
This month's deficit is
over 10 million won excluding your salaries.
Due to my incompetence, we'll fail if we don't change.
Even if we fail, please pay our salary on time.
Look around.
Knife handler like you
fits a grand place like this.
Come out of that menial Chinese restaurant right now.
Let's work together.
I'm not interested.
I'll pay you 10 million won.
Come across. Why are hesitant?
I can't do this without you.
You'll have to end the
All-Parts Shrimp Festival even before you start.
Knife Handler...
Please...
No, you'll have to close down your restaurant, too.
Help me.
Hello, whose name is the reservation under?
- It's Kim Eun Hee. - Kim Eun Hee.
Please, this way.
Please enjoy.
VIP is here. VIP is here.
- Hello, I'll take you inside. - Yes.
This way please.
Chef, the VIP wants the clean taste of eight flavored shrimp.
Please avoid using the chili oil and
use less of green onion and garlic flavor.
Okay.
Okay, service!
Service!
You have to control the cornstarch well.
Yes, Chef!
Okay, service!
Service!
Your order of eight flavored shrimp is here.
Please enjoy.
How is it, ma'am?
It melts even before I chew.
The chef did a great job of keeping the shrimp's moisture.
Eight different flavors of the shrimp
are not covered by the sauce.
- It's good. - Thank you.
How can you not tell me, the Ladle,
that you're taking off your cast?
You should've told me in advance.
The doctor told me this morning.
I didn't have a chance to tell you.
Why? You're not happy that I took the cast off?
Strange.
It's more strange that you're sad about taking my cast off.
The war begins today. I have to do this right.
It's too quiet.
I even took off my cast.
I haven't even used my wok yet.
What's wrong?
I have to go somewhere quickly.
180,000 won for two, total 360,000 won. I'll charge it for you.
- Did you enjoy your meal? - Yes.
Also, the reservation you made for next week's
Surgical Association banquet is for 100 people, right?
- It's always the same. - Okay.
When you decide on the menu, let us know. We'll do our best to accommodate you.
Thank you. Goodbye.
Oh, nurse...
- Who are you? - I was admitted to the hospital with hypothermia.
Your guardian went through so much then.
You look well now.
Yes, thanks to you.
Even with his arm cast, he was shaking and
was massaging you and
held you tight using his body temperature.
It's him you need to thank.
I can tell he really cared for you.
Pardon?
♫ What's that look in your eyes ♫
♫ I think I need an explanation ♫
♫ You are not looking pretty ♫
♫ but it just caught my eyes ♫
♫ Something was different today ♫
This is a dream.
A dream.
A good dream.
♫ Feeling, feeling, I feel it from you ♫
♫ Feeling, feeling, feeling ♫
Did you eat at this restaurant?
Excuse me? No, I didn't.
It was delicious.
Was it delicious?
Yeah, it's a bit expensive,
but it was good.
The restaurant across the street charges one-tenth of the price for the shrimp course.
Come and try.
The chef used to work at a hotel.
- Isn't it the place where the thugs work? - Wait...
Yeah, it's true that thugs work there,
but it's good.
As long as it tastes good, right?
My guardian is the chef.
My guardian who took care of me will cook likewise.
♫ Feeling, feeling ♫
♫ I probably like you ♫
♫ I like this feeling ♫
It wasn't a dream.
♫ In my eyes, ♫
♫ there's something I can only feel for you ♫
Excuse me, Boss.
Please don't like Ladle.
You two aren't compatible.
How do you know that I like Ladle?
Everybody knows that.
Ladle is too good for you.
Even in dishwasher's opinion...
Dishwasher?
Did you just call me a dishwasher?
That's too harsh.
I'm sorry.
- But... - But what?
What makes you think I'm that bad for her?
- Everything. The whole package. - Everything?
What makes you think that Ladle would consider thugs...
No... a hooligan...
like you?
You're forbidden from going close to her.
- Are you close to Ladle? - Yes.
Alright then.
There aren't any customers.
Excuse me.
I have tried all kinds of expensive, good, and rare
things in my life.
There's nothing like it with this price.
But I heard that thugs are running the business.
Do I look like a thug?
In the kitchen, I am a dish...
I'm a chef.
It's only 18,000 won, but by looking at me
don't you think you'll get expensive hotel level cuisine?
We have customers!
- Yes. - Please move away.
- Oh. - When did Ladle go out?
Let's try their food here.
Oh, my. Oh, my.
Welcome!
- Go back to your place. - Yes, Chef!
That wasn't a dream.
That wasn't a dream!
All-Parts Shrimp course meal for two, four, three, and two.
Total eleven orders, Chef.
- Wow. - Ahjumma.
How about the dishes?
I'll come back to do the dishes later. Bye.
Ahjumma promoted herself to serve the customers.
You promote yourself here.
Here, we got the first order of All-Parts Shrimp course meal.
The first course is the crispy shrimp chips.
The second course is the egg wrapped shrimp dim sum.
The third course is the mandarin crisp shrimp shell wrap.
The meal includes the shrimp broth soup. Total of 11 orders.
We'll serve to keep the pace with the customers.
It can't come out too fast and get cold
nor too slow keeping them waiting.
- Got that? - Yes, Chef!
- First, the Knife Handler. - Yes.
Prepare the crispy shrimp chips and mandarin shrimp.
Check the dim sum and the broth in advance.
Prepare the dim sum ingredients in advance.
Don't dice it too fine but keep the .3 mm cubes.
- So that people can feel the texture. - Yes, Chef.
What is the mak pan?
- No questions when we're busy. - Yes, Knife Handler.
Check the soaked dried shrimps and see if the water is all out. Bring me 11 servings.
If there's a bit of water left, the oil will splash on Chef's face.
Bring 11 servings of the red shrimps.
- Hey, Ladle. - Yes, Chef.
What should I call you? I'm confused.
- Sae Woo. - But sae woo (shrimp in Korean) is both food and ingredient.
But you won't call out "Sae Woo" to the food or the ingredients.
Sae Woo, okay.
- Make the fry batter. - Yes, Chef.
Welcome.
Aigoo.
Are you here as a customer or a peddler?
Can't you tell? I'm here as a customer.
Look how you talk.
Come here.
Gosh, you don't call the boss
to come and go as if he's a dog.
You get lost!
Come here.
Here's the batter.
The batter isn't the winter coat but
thinly coated to see through the red flesh of the shrimp. Lightly.
And fry it very crispy.
Like this?
- Okay. - Yes, Chef.
Is this good?
The texture is soft,
fragrant, and have vibrant color.
Okay, take it to the wok handler.
The shape is good. To the wok handler, too.
How can you tell the fragrance and color without looking at it?
No questions.
Bring the tiger shrimp, red shrimp, bamboo shoot, mushrooms.
- Separate the seafood and the vegetables. - Yes, Knife Handler.
- You make the crispy shrimp chips. - Me?
- The assistant makes it. - Yes, Chef.
Good job.
Not in lumps, but each should be all separated.
Good job.
Great. Stir gently.
Sae Woo, it's now.
- Taking them out using the strainer. - Yes, Chef.
Let it dry before it becomes soggy.
It's the moment that
determines whether it will be crispy or soggy fried shrimp.
Okay, service!
Service!
This is the crispy shrimp chips.
This is good.
- What is this? - It's crispy shrimp chips.
Wow.
- Wow, it's so flavorful. - Daebak.
After a surgery,
you have to eat well.
Here.
I don't want to eat it.
This is good.
Hey, this isn't radish root.
This is ginseng root.
- You're bothering me. - Hurry, try it.
You're so annoying.
Geez.
Hey, even though it's a root instead of the body, this is really good for you.
Hurry up and stuff it, man.
