[ Episode 27 ]
Didn't you go home?
Because of the cancellation, I thought you'd be down.
To be nice to you secretly...
Noona came secretly with beers.
Secretly in the night. I came so secretively.
On that note, ta-da!
I don't date secretly.
You're dead if you don't.
Let's drink this tomorrow.
Let's go home. I'll take you.
Wait, you don't have to take me home.
- I'll bring my car key. - Hey, wait a minute.
You should just rest today. Seriously.
I have something to say to you.
Honestly...
I have something to say to you, Hyung.
What is it?
I have something...
I'll take you home today no matter what.
I'll take you home.
Oh, gosh!
Where is your house?
Jamsil.
You said it's in Sinchon, so we're almost there. What Jamsil?
Jamsil is just a little further from Sinchon.
How is it that Jamsil is just a little further than Sinchon?
Hey, it's good to take a drive, isn't it?
Jamsil, where?
Hey, Dim Sum.
Your dad is...
dating.
She's dating, you know?
Didn't you eat?
Why?
Are you sick?
So...
I think my Dim Sum...
is sick.
Ah, yes.
He probably ate milk somewhere and got sick from it.
When you feed milk, give him milk for cats.
- You're okay. - Yeah, but...
You never know.
Let's hospitalize him.
- Hospitalize him? - Yes.
I have to run more tests.
Dim Sum, everything's alright, okay?
I understand.
[ Flight Animal Hospital ]
He doesn't even remember me.
The end of Jamsil? We're almost there.
- Should I drive? - Are you crazy?
You'll drive around like this all night.
Driving all night is good.
Sure, let's drive all night like this.
So, don't ever say you'll take me home from now on.
I'll take you home.
Is this your house?
Yeah.
- Get out. - Fine, I'm getting out.
- Here? - Yeah.
Okay, go home now.
I'll see you go in.
Okay, should I?
- Goodnight! - Bye.
Go.
I just came from the airport.
Let's talk inside our home.
It's not our house anymore.
Then why did you come?
I couldn't disobey my parents.
I'm sorry for running away and leaving you alone.
I can't disobey my parents. In the future either.
Yeah, I'll see you in front of the courthouse.
Even in breakups, there are etiquettes and manners.
How can you end it like that?
Even if you were out of the country...
Did you break your fingers? You couldn't make a call?
Hiding behind your parents and made me sign the divorce document without seeing your face.
Are you human?
I'm sure you have nothing to say and
I don't want to hear any explanation whatsoever.
Was this the only way
to end it because of what happened to my dad?
As if shocking my parents who were waiting for the groom to enter wasn't enough,
you were afraid that I'd cling to you
and that my penniless family would hang onto you.
You stayed away until yesterday out of fear.
You just arrived today?
Is that it?
Is that how it is?
Marriage is reality.
I agree that people should live with those who are similar.
Just like my parents' wishes.
Alright.
I'll see you in front of the courthouse.
Don't be late.
Okay.
I'm not crying because of you,
but because I feel so stupid having loved someone like you.
Oh, man.
Hey, Poong.
I'm home.
Hey, Poong.
Hyung's home.
Man, it's hot.
Hot, hot, hot.
Poong, you punk.
You bastard.
Geez.
You handsome punk.
I'm envious, you bastard.
Hyung.
You're home.
Hi.
What's that smell? Did you drink?
I drank.
I drank a lot.
Hey.
You...
already went back and forth once.
What about me?
You're drunk. What are you talking about?
Let's take off your clothes.
Let's go to sleep.
Don't touch me.
It's up to me. Don't tell me what to do.
Okay, I got it. Let's wash up.
- Man, you're heavy. - You're so caring.
- What? - You're caring.
Just brush your teeth and go to sleep.
I don't like this. I don't like this.
- Here you go. - Poong.
Everything will rot.
The top teeth, the bottom teeth, and the molars and cuspids.
Everything.
You'll stink if you don't wash up especially in this hot weather.
Here. You'll rot.
Hey, hey, hey.
You...
You are nice like this to your woman, too, huh?
Of course, I am.
If I'm this nice to a man.
You're the man, bastard.
Who did you drink with?
Who do you think?
I always drink by myself, all alone.
Drinking by yourself
is called lone-drink.
You act all lonely. Yeah, right.
Did you get rid of all your little kiddos?
Let's wash here, too.
Leave me alone.
I can't be sober from this drunkenness.
I'm almost sober because of you.
I'm done. Let's sleep now, okay?
Let's sleep.
I can't be sober.
I'd be so embarrassed.
How did I end up...
with you on the same bed like this?
That's what I'm saying.
Poong.
What kind of person am I?
Don't act drunk. Go to sleep.
I can't sleep...
tonight.
Why not?
Did something happen?
When I was five years old,
when I was abandoned,
I think I got used to not receiving love from anyone.
You don't ever get used to something like that even when you're old.
There are people who are used to that in this world.
Are you having a hard time because of your mom?
My dad...
was a boxer.
He was a world champion.
But...
the day he became a champion,
he died.
Far, far away.
He doesn't have to be a champion.
I wish we were together even if it were just for a day.
By my side.
In my memory.
I wish all the people I like
are next to me.
Hyung.
- Honestly... - Poong.
Stay by me.
Sleep.
Goodnight.
Yeah.
I'll take your order.
Thank you for coming to Hungry Wok.
Order anything you want.
The chefs from the hotel and this restaurant had a competition over noodles and pork
and the nurse told us that this place is much better.
The hospital director's secretary always eats here, too.
- Really? - Yeah.
- Mak pan, hurry! - Yes, Chef!
These are the mak pan for two orders of the black bean noodles.
- Should I add the cabbage now? - Okay.
- Service! - Service!
- We need more mak pan! - Yes, Chef!
- Yi Man, bring more pork from the fridge. Hurry! - Yes.
- Bring more onions, too. - Yes!
Take out the pork!
- For which table? - It's for table 16.
- Okay, table 16. Service! - Service!
Boss, the sweet and sour sirloin steak is here.
You know that our hotel's credit rating is up to the Hwa Ryong Jum Jung, right?
If this place starts to fail, then
the banquet halls, the rooms, and additional facilities...
We'll have problems with taking out loans from the banks.
I'm aware of it.
It's not about selling one bowl of noodles or not!
Didn't we do well with the banquet? What's wrong, Chef?
The rumor spread at the hospital saying that Poong's black bean noodles taste better.
- So, the customers from the hospital quit coming here. - Shut up!
Yes, sir.
Welcome.
This way please.
Director!
I came here to eat black bean noodles.
Ah, yes.
Please have a seat.
What would you like, sir?
Black bean noodles and sweet and sour pork please.
Yes, sir.
And please ask the Chef to make me a glass of cocktail with kaoliang wine.
Excuse me?
Yes, sir.
A customer requested a cocktail.
A customer ordered a cocktail with kaoliang wine. Is it possible, Chef?
Man, we're about to take a break. Who ordered it?
Sae Woo.
Go to the fridge and bring kaoliang wine, lemon, cherry, cherry brandy, and sparkling water.
Yes, Chef.
Chef?
Hurry.
Yes, Chef.
- Here, service. - Service.
The hospital customers are flooding in.
What's happening?
Black bean noodles should taste like one.
Black bean noodles should tastes like this.
I couldn't find a good black bean noodle place near the hospital.
Should I take some to go?
The sweet and sour pork doesn't get soggy when it gets cold.
It gets chewy.
Do you think the second shift ER crew are at work?
This isn't sweet rice either.
Smooth.
The meat is so plump inside the batter.
The sweet and sour flavor is amazing.
It's not grease at all.
This is by far the best sweet and sour pork I had in my life.
- Sorry, but I have to go somewhere. - Now?
Yeah, sorry. I didn't know we'd still be so busy.
Where are you going?
See you later.
I'll go to the courthouse to turn in the papers with my ex.
I'll be right back.
- Okay. - Yes, Chef.
- The knife handler! - Yes, Chef.
I need mak pan.
Yes.
Oh, my! Madam, madam.
Miss Sae Woo is on her way to the courthouse.
I think O Jik is back.
That girl, without saying a word...
Excuse me!
- Here! - Yes, I'll be right there.
Your sweet and sour pork is here. Please enjoy.
Please enjoy sweet and sour pork.
Geez.
[ Courthouse ]
Let's go in.
Hey, Na O Jik!
Mom!
Hey, O Jik. You can't do this.
Do you know how much I waited for you to come back?
Let's talk later.
I beg you.
I can't bear to see my daughter getting a divorce.
If you thought we'd be a burden to you,
then I can be a stranger to Sae Woo.
Just be happy with each other.
You loved Sae Woo so much, right?
Please, I beg you.
I'm so sorry, Mother.
Mom, let's go. Let's go.
Do you know how much Sae Woo waited for you to come back?
When Sae Woo's dad comes out, you can decide then, okay?
It's too cruel if you do this to her now.
I have to go back to the States according to my parents' wishes.
Hey, O Jik.
Are you a kid?
Why are you shifting the responsibility to your parents?
If you do this, we can't grant the divorce you want.
Sae Woo, why are you giving him a
divorce to make them happy?
Don't grant that divorce. What did you do wrong?
Mom.
Did he already deposit 5 million won to the bank account?
Hyung, you can't say that first without explaining.
But what is omakase?
What about omakase?
An anonymous person made a reservation.
He's buying all the tables and said not to receive any customers.
Made a reservation for Chinese cuisine omakase for one person.
5 million won is the profit for three days worth.
- Anonymous? - Yeah.
Money is already deposited, so there won't be a cancellation.
He requested for you to cook without us.
But what does he want to stuff himself with
to pay 5 million won for one person?
What is omakase? Is it Japanese?
Omakase means the customer doesn't pick or decide his dishes.
It means the chef gets to decide entirely.
Everything?
It means "I approve your skills."
Yeah, then it's a good thing.
How come Miss Sae Woo and the madam aren't coming back?
Maybe madam is telling O Jik that divorce is out of the question.
Gosh...
What would we do if madam faints?
I know. I'm worried.
I'm tired today.
You take it.
Your dad...
told me to give it to you.
It took a long time to do that.
I moved around for 35 years.
I abandoned you, but
Thinking I'd give this to you someday...
I held onto it.
You're my trophy.
You're my...
champion.
Hey!
Chef Poong.
Hey!
What time is it now?
I heard that you got an omakase reservation.
What ingredients will you use?
- Want to see? - Yes, Chef.
This is the bird's nest.
I'll make chips out of the bird's nest.
I'll simmer shark's fin with crab roe on top.
I'm still debating what to do for dessert.
- That sounds delicious. - Delicious, huh?
Why are you here today?
I don't know. I was waiting for you.
- Did you see your ex? - Yeah.
Let's talk about something else.
Why...
are you divorcing him?
Ah!
I didn't tell you properly yet?
No.
I...
lost my parents early.
So, Dal Hee's dad took care of me.
He passed away now.
Until she became a doctor and I became a hotel sous chef,
we worked so hard focused on our work.
She was the only one I dated.
But I think she got sick of me.
She kicked me to the curb over hotel CEO.
We just...
broke up.
Okay.
Then that's that.
So...
are you not interested in me or you don't care about a woman's past?
Don't think I'm interested?
You don't want to talk about it.
Oh. Okay.
My ex...
didn't show up on the wedding day
and fled overseas because my family lost everything.
And he didn't show up all this time.
The divorce paper has to be submitted by both parties to the courthouse.
So, he showed up.
Yup. The end.
- The end? - The end.
Your parents became broke?
Yeah.
We were rich before.
You don't look broke, though.
We were very, very rich.
Very rich?
Yeah, well...
Very.
Are you disappointed that we're broke?
I'm glad that you're broke.
You met me because you're broke.
- Is that so? - If you didn't...
then you'd be married,
then you would've gone your honeymoon,
you'd be so happy seeing him every day.
You wouldn't have gone to the Han River bridge.
Then we wouldn't have shared a fortune cookie.
You wouldn't have been my first customer.
You wouldn't have asked me to have an affair.
They became broke to bring us together.
I'm sorry, but...
I'm glad that your parents are broke.
Oh!
It's my first time thinking that being broke is a good thing.
That's right.
- Could've been bad if we didn't go broke. - That's right.
Right?
But...
you're working at a Chinese restaurant like this one?
What's wrong with this kind of Chinese restaurant?
And...
you're dating a Chinese restaurant
chef?
Yes, Chef.
Would you...
marry again?
Not sure.
How about you?
Me, too.
Not sure.
