[ Episode 22 ]
A total of 7 tables, and 15 people
were all we served.
Our guys went to check out the hotel earlier.
They said it was teeming with customers today.
If we compare this to a boxing match,
between us and that hotel,
we were knocked down in the first round.
But still, it's not a KO.
Even though there were only 15 people,
the plates that came back to the kitchen
were all empty, Hyung.
That is more honest than any word. It means they were delicious.
Those empty plates...
will bring in numerous customers
starting tomorrow and the next day.
Hey, Poong.
Can't you be satisfied with just being a neighborhood restaurant?
Must you take revenge?
What are you talking about?
Of course, I must.
I'm afraid...
you'd continue to live an unhappy life.
You want me to fold because of fear?
How could you say that to me?
Why am I doing this? How did I come to this?
So, be content with throwing a knife at CEO Yong's bed?
- Hey. - For me...
I won't date, love,
nor marry until I take revenge.
Crazy bastard.
You'll end up like me.
Why would you postpone that?
You're supposed to postpone work you don't care to do.
What's so great about revenge?
Why postpone great things like love and marriage?
You dumba**.
Get up.
I don't want to.
What kind of junk...
did you leave there?
Get up.
- Let's go. - To where?
To where?
Geez.
Aren't we leaving?
So... Seol Ja, why were you late today?
Matter of fact...
I wanted to discuss with you all.
- Did they all leave? - Yeah, they all left.
You take a seat, too, Miss.
Here, we may or may not get our salary.
They're offering me 10 million won.
How can I not be conflicted?
If I were to work at the hotel,
I can definitely contribute more to our rent.
Of course, you should go to the hotel.
They're offering you 10 million won.
No, you can't. What about Chef Poong?
Aunt, the kitchen here can't operate without you.
You know that Chef Poong can't be the knife handler, too.
Even if you're offered a huge salary
this is a betrayal. A betrayal.
Aunt, the business can't even operate if you're not here.
- What are your thoughts? - Me?
As for me...
- I'm not sure. - Wow, you're all too much.
We barely served a few tables today.
And we're taking a huge loss.
So if you leave,
for no other place than
that hotel that Chef Poong wants to take revenge on,
then Chef Poong won't be able to trust anyone ever again.
Does Chef Poong have to go through another backstabbing?
Don't you think that's too cruel?
Let's not do that, even if we're broke, Mom.
Aunt.
Oppa.
You must be in love with Chef Poong, huh?
No!
- You really aren't? - Really, I'm not.
You haven't even signed your divorce papers.
Of course, you shouldn't.
- I already signed the papers. - What?
- Miss! - Why?
Did O Jik come?
I don't know.
If by any chance,
you like Chef Poong, me, Seol Ja, and Geok Jung
will all quit here.
Seol Ja will leave here and
you won't work here either.
Even if we become thieves,
let's live next to dad nearby the jail.
That's better.
Then, I'll take it as
you wanting me to work for the hotel.
Aunt!
I heard you didn't have customers today.
You challenged me in a competition.
But it ended too easy.
Go pull it out first.
I remembered that I left it here.
I'll use my knife tomorrow.
Just give up.
Hey.
My brother has to use his own tool to take a revenge properly.
Let's go.
Why are they doing that?
The thug came to tell us not to disturb his company.
Poong came to boast that he's not alone.
Why did you want me to take this back?
I was afraid that you'll get arrested.
When I heard that you threw a knife,
I thought you had to take it out yourself.
That knife is an evidence.
They have nothing to say now even if you get arrested later.
I have three criminal records.
I know this area well.
You got scared.
You don't even know the basics of taking a revenge.
If you leave something like that behind,
you hurt your own heart, not them.
You shouldn't leave such a leftover behind.
The knife is so scary.
You're so ignorant, Poong.
Let's go.
Welcome.
I'm glad you made the right decision, Seol Ja.
Work with me from now on.
Knife Handler, where are you going?
Move.
Don't block my knife handler's way.
Why are you doing this?
Why are you hesitant, huh?
I'm torn...
between a person and money.
Money?
How much do you need?
10 million won.
Her knife skill...
is worth it.
My situation is desperate.
I need money.
I'll give you 10 million won.
I'll give it to you somehow even if I take out a loan.
Chef Poong, I know your situation, so don't do that.
Seol Ja, please.
The hotel kitchen may become a better place if you go. But for us...
our kitchen can't survive without you.
It's a terrible kitchen that can't survive without you.
It's a terrible kitchen that will plunge without one knife handler.
There's nothing more to hear. Seol Ja, let's go.
- Oh, my! - Let's go.
Oh, my gosh!
Anything goes for now.
Oh, my.
That crazy bastard.
You can't do this today.
You can't do this tomorrow. Not the day after.
You can't do this. Never!
I can't do this without you.
What are you doing? Put me down.
Gosh.
I can't give you 10 million won now.
I only have two arms.
I only have strength in my arms.
My arms are as strong as
Chef Wang's money.
It's not my fault if your arms come off.
Put me down.
- Put me down. - No, I can't.
- Seol Ja! - What's going on?
I'll change.
We're leaving now.
See you tomorrow.
Knife Handler, see you tomorrow.
Tomorrow.
Bye, Knife Handler.
The Knife Handler...
didn't say anything to you?
What? She said you were cool in the beginning.
That you're manly.
Honest.
Simple.
Really.
Oh, wasn't it?
Was it my first impression of you?
So sorry. I'm leaving.
I'm confused. Bye.
Seol Ja.
I always dreamed that...
I'd meet someone like you with your knife skill to cook.
I'm confident that I can cook...
to make kitchen staff and customers
happy with your knife skills.
Don't go.
Here's the dough.
Hyungnim!
Chef.
Service!
Dong Sik, Chi Soo, and Gang Ho, come.
There. For daetang bao,
the skin will become transparent
to show off the broth inside.
When you make it, the fold will act like a spring
so it won't burst but stay flexible.
Count the folds.
21?
29?
- 42. - Less.
- 53. - We said less.
How is this 53? Idiot.
Look carefully.
Is it a customer's?
Please go in.
Here is the dim sum you ordered.
Please enjoy.
Here's the dish you ordered.
Here are the specials.
Yes, give us three.
- Yes, very good. - Welcome!
Aigoo.
Hey, you bastards.
- I'll take your order first. - Yes.
This is the special menu.
Hey! Sit. Sit over there.
Three servings?
Please sit over there.
I'll demonstrate.
Use the bamboo straw
and make a hole.
You can eat like this.
Please be careful. It's hot.
Please enjoy.
- Please enjoy. - Okay.
- Hey, this is so good. - So good.
This is amazing.
- Wow, this is incredibly good. - It's good.
- Daebak. - It's perfect.
Hey, I'm taking a picture.
One, two, three!
I'm putting this up.
Let's order one more.
- Who wants more? - Me!
This is so good.
It's amazing. It's so good.
- It's so good. - It's really good.
Hey. Didn't you...
see my wallet?
I didn't.
You didn't see my wallet?
Maybe...
someone found it.
How much did you have in there?
That's not the issue.
1978.
October 5th.
Kim Sun Nyue.
It's me.
When our car blew up three years ago,
you know the nurse who took care of us in Dae Dong Hospital?
Find out everything about that woman.
What her name is...
and her age.
And find out if her husband is still alive.
And her child... Find out if she has a child.
- Hurry and find out today. - Yes.
- I just need half a day. - Okay.
Here's the shrimp dish. Please enjoy.
Poong's restaurant is full of customers, too.
Where are you going, Chef?
The hotel is full of customers, too.
We're cooking hotel level cuisine costing 18,000 won right in front of them.
So, what's wrong with people who pay 180,000 won to eat at the hotel?
We just take away one customer at a time.
This is just the beginning.
Okay.
Thank you for coming.
How was it for you?
Is your guardian busy right now?
Excuse me?
Your guardian with the cast is the one who made these, right?
Yes, I understand. Just a moment please.
It only costs one-tenth the price...
You asked for me?
I'm Chef Seo Poong.
Your cast is off.
Yes.
Please let me know if there's anything
you're not happy with.
Sorry for comparing.
But your food is as good as the hotel's.
The hotel used shark's fin and bird's nest in the broth and raised the price
but I tasted the rich ocean flavor only with shrimp.
Personally, I feel sorry for sharks and birds
so I prefer not to have them.
Perhaps because of your genuine care,
it's cheap but the taste isn't cheap.
It's delicious.
Thank you.
So, I was wondering...
do you accept banquet reservations?
For how many guests?
Around 100 people from the Surgical Association.
Of course, it's possible.
We always go to the hotel across the street every month.
So, they all have very picky and fancy taste.
I'll see if I can change the venue. I'll call you tonight to confirm.
So, you were a hotel customer all this time.
Yes, ma'am.
Thank you, ma'am.
Chef.
Did you visit Poong's restaurant?
We can't let...
Poong take away any of our customers.
The customers who go there are obvious.
People who like cheap food.
They're not the customers who can come to us anyway.
I saw one of our customers
eating at Poong's restaurant.
Really?
If one starts to leave us,
then the words will spread in no time.
No matter what happens, we can't let them go to Poong's restaurant.
She said she'd call at 8 p.m., right?
If she makes the reservation...
we'll take away not one, but 100 customers from the hotel.
Yes, this is Hungry Wok.
Yeah, tell me.
The nurse's name is Kim Sun Nyue.
She's 74 years old.
Her husband was a boxer but passed away two years after they got married.
She had a son...
I understand.
She made a reservation for next Monday 7 p.m. for 100 guests.
Just like today, we'll charge 18,000 won per person.
She wants us to decide on the menu.
Wow!
- Oppa. - Sae Woo.
This is a dream, right?
A good dream.
Please set the room number six.
Hello, this is Hwa Ryong Jum Jung.
Ah, okay. Please wait.
Chef, the VIP customer wants to cancel the reservation for 100 guests from the Surgery Association.
Excuse me, but can I ask you...
if your meeting has been canceled?
No, it hasn't.
I'm sorry, but we want to change the location this time.
By chance, if you're changing to the Hungry Wok
I'll give you an offer you can't turn down.
- What are you doing? - Huh?
Are you looking for your wallet?
I picked it up.
It's in my office on the second floor.
Let's go up together.
Oh, you did?
Let's go. Ms. Kim Sun Nyue.
Oh, my.
What am I to do?
Have a seat.
Oh, your wallet.
Here.
And...
Mom.
Are you my mom?
Then...
you are the one who abandoned me?
No.
A mom doesn't abandon her child.
I'm not your mom.
I...
don't know what to do...
because I never had a mom.
No!
I'm not.
No, no.
I'm not your mom.
Why are you crying?
It's not like you did anything right.
I'm crying because I didn't do anything right.
I'm crying because I only did terrible things.
I'm sorry that you found out.
