[ Episode 30 ]
The first cuisine is
fried bird's nest tofu sandwich
made with bird's nest between tofu skin.
It's a great appetizer to clear your palate.
Making a bird's nest into a creative appetizer.
- You alone can do that. - Sir.
Even though I'm honored that you're satisfied,
I will decline any compliments from you.
I'll prepare the next dish.
He is still rude and has no manners, Boss.
That's his strengths, too.
The second cuisine is the shark's fin in soy sauce base with the crab roe on top.
Just by looking at it, I can see it's a great dish.
I think that the best should return to its best position.
Come back.
To Hwa Ryong Jum Jung.
Boss.
You want to reinstate him?
I should've given you the position from the get-go. It's too late.
Boss! Are you firing me now?
Why are you so shocked?
Until Poong says okay, you're not fired.
So, don't jump the gun yet, okay?
Please eat.
I'll prepare the next dish.
The taste is amazing.
If we want to bring back the customers from the hospital,
we need Poong at Hwa Ryong Jum Jung.
We have to get our regular hospital customers back
so, the rooms and other facilities will run properly
for the hotel to survive.
Do you think I'm doing this because I like Poong?
It's braised Chinese pork steak.
Use a fork and knife for your convenience.
For a Chinese cuisine...
A fork and knife. Does that make sense?
He a rude bastard who ignores the basics of Chinese cuisine.
Whenever I suggested new ideas, you always
insisted on basics and traditions and ignored my ideas, right?
Thanks to you, I enjoy creating my own dishes
freely rising above the basics.
Please enjoy.
How about putting this dish out as Hwa Ryong Jum Jung's signature dish for the next season?
You can freely create your own dishes
in a big kitchen.
I'm not envious of a big kitchen.
You're really angry with me, huh?
I apologize for everything.
I...
like being the head chef here much more.
Is it because of Dal Hee?
I'll break up with her. I was planning to break up with her.
You, son of a b****...
How can you say that so easily?
Then what would happen to her?
I would never consider...
working under you at your hotel. So, get lost.
What are you doing?
I bet that...
you can't give up the hotel chef position.
You're that kind of person.
I know you well.
Chef Wang,
you don't need to pack yet.
Poong says he'll stay here for now.
Chae Seol Ja and Im Geok Jung came by.
If I want, I can take your knife handler and noodle maker all at once.
Don't think about coming to the hotel and
take good care of your own employees, you bastard.
I met Chef Poong this afternoon...
Did you meet Chef Poong?
He called me all day.
I couldn't avoid meeting him.
What did he say?
Did he ask you to come back, Madam?
Of course.
He bowed his head and politely apologized.
What did Chef Poong say?
He said he doesn't like you. That'd never happen.
Are you planning to go back to work, Madam?
I played hard to get saying I'd think about it.
Good job.
[ Seo Poong ]
Where are you?
- Home. - I'll see you in front of your house.
- In front of my house? - I'm on my way now.
No, don't come. I'll go. Where are you?
No, I already left.
Okay.
[ One billion won checks ]
You're...
my champion.
Yeah, right.
So cute.
Where are you going?
Are you here?
- I just got here. Come out. - Okay.
Geez, you're trying hard.
Over here!
Oh, you scared me.
Why did you come?
Aren't you happy to see me?
Should we go?
Are you here to make up?
I like a man who makes up and gets over a fight quickly.
Why don't I say "Hi" to your parents since I'm here?
Are you crazy? Do you know what time it is?
What time is it? Why? What?
Yeah, right? Well...
How was omakase?
Who was the anonymous customer? Did he like it?
Did you live here for a long time?
Let's go. Where is your car?
It's right over there.
Seriously...
- Hey, let me... - No, hurry. Come.
- I want to greet your parents. - Next time.
This is the banquet hall key I got from Bun Hong.
Boss, what are you planning to do?
[ Wake up! This hotel is killing small businesses ]
Hey, Chil Seong!
Where do you think you're going?
You can't go in there.
There's no way you'd give up on protesting rights.
And you won't give up on Dan Seung Ki either.
I have a lot of sense, as many as my cavities.
This is 3 billion won.
3 billion won.
This is an amount
you should've paid to those people in there
for the construction payment.
This must be everything you've got, huh?
You have a huge loan.
Bi Dak, you want to take this away from me?
If I go in without this check, it's no use.
But you can't take this away from me.
I'll take this inside
and exchange it with the protest rights.
So, you want to go for it?
Lower your eyes.
Oh, no.
I took it away from you.
Then...
the end?
You started, okay?
I'll make sure your two legs
get beaten up today.
You have to report to Yong Seung Ryong, right?
Right?
What are you talking about?
What are you guys doing?
Hey, Bi Dak!
What happened to them? No one's useful.
You a**hole...
Bi Dak, I told you to open your eyes and see
when a fist comes at you, you a**hole.
Let's go...
inside and apologize together.
You bastard.
Everyone.
I'm sorry that your offices
were wrecked because of me.
I heard that you were threatened by this punk.
But don't worry. From now on, this punk
won't be able to threaten you anymore.
Please let it go.
You do this when you're sorry? I won't sell the protest rights to you.
We paid too much for the black been noodles and sweet and sour pork.
These thugs...
are awful enough to ruin our businesses.
Get out now.
Get out.
Here.
I got 3 billion won.
- 3 billion won? - 3 billion won!
Leader.
Why don't you go back to your family?
Everyone, stop suffering like this
and go back to your home and eat a warm home cooked meal.
Just take it, okay?
- He can't take it. - Why are you hesitating?
- Just take it. - Hurry, just take it.
Leader.
Take this construction payment
and just sign the papers saying
you're selling the protest rights.
Oh, man.
I met Jin Jung Hye ahjumma
and apologized
asked her to come back to work tomorrow.
Really?
Did she say she would?
I'm not sure yet.
I have to make her come back.
I guess she really doesn't like me.
What should I do?
Stop the car.
What should I do?
Please...
tell me.
Do you want her to like you?
- Yeah. - Why?
You said that...
the customers are important but
employees are more important.
Right.
That's right but...
you don't have to try extra to gain her approval.
You don't have to. Just...
continue what you've been doing.
Ahjumma's eyes are triangles.
Eyes should be round, but she only sees what she wants to see.
Ahjumma only sees what she decides to see.
Are you talking bad about Ahjumma??
To be honest, Ahjumma also has issues, too.
She's pretty and has never struggled in her life.
The kitchen is a harsh place and she's clueless.
She's so slow frustrating everyone.
She's the only one who's not frustrated.
The person who talks to her gets frustrated.
She's a good waitress, but...
in the kitchen, seriously... I kept quiet you know.
She used to use too much soap doing dishes,
she broke so many plates because they were so slippery.
She probably can't even peel her own pear at home.
She was washing knives
and poked so many holes on the gloves.
She has to wear rubber gloves no matter what.
She'd wear gloves when washing one chopstick to keep her hands soft.
I don't think she can cook. She doesn't seem to know how to cook at all.
Doesn't she seem like she's never cooked for her family?
- Are you talking behind her back? - Yeah.
I'm good at it, huh?
If I...
go to be a hotel chef at Hwa Ryong Jum Jung,
do you think the kitchen crew would see me differently?
Why do you say that?
Do you want to go?
Not sure.
Let's go and eat ramen.
- Do you want to eat ramen? - Yes.
I'll take care of my business with him first,
then I'll come talk to you.
Did you want to see me?
That man...
Who is it?
You don't need to know. It's my business.
Are you playing with me?
Are you playing with me because I have feelings for you?
You're the one who told me to come.
Now, you say you don't need me.
You're the one who played me changing your mind.
What?
Since then, do you know how many times I stood by the crosswalk?
Did it feel good to embarrass me in front of that bastard, Poong?
Whether I'm upset because I lost to him in cooking
or because you're working with him...
I don't know either!
How dare you raise your voice at her? My wom...
She's my knife handler.
To me, she is my one and only... The world's most amazing woman, Seol Ja.
Who do you think you are? How dare you?
Who the heck are you?
Hey, do you like Seol Ja?
Are you two dating or something?
Yeah, I do like her. No, I'll date her.
I'll make her my woman. So...
You're dead if you bother her one more time.
That'll be the end of you.
Stop.
This isn't why I called you.
Seol Ja.
You've lowered your standard
since going to that small Chinese restaurant.
Hanging out with a thug like this.
You bastard.
Hey, you little...
Stop it.
Don't do that.
Cops. That's enough.
Here, here.
Please stop. I can't go any longer.
Let's stop.
You're the first woman to give me a kiss.
Instead of cutting me off like a knife,
let's get greasy and get together.
What do you mean by "get greasy?"
It means to date with our natural instinct.
I don't own a home or a car, but once you get to know me,
who knows what you'll find.
I wanted to say this.
That's why I asked you to meet me tonight.
Let's just...
get together as our hearts lead us.
Get greasy.
[ Transfer of rights to protest ]
[ Doo Chil Seong ]
Ramen goes best with soju.
Sorry I can't buy you more expensive food.
What...
do you like about me?
Don't ask such a question. How can I put it in words?
Have you dated a lot?
I don't think I've ever been truly loved.
Have you ever given love?
I don't withhold giving love.
That's a good attitude.
Who could that be at this hour?
Hurry up and hide.
I'm in trouble if we get caught and rumors spread.
- I'll do it. - No, I got it.
What's with the soju?
Did someone drink soju?
Anyway...
We might get caught like this.
How could we get caught when we've just begun?
If you had a house, we could be going there at times like this.
At your age, you don't even have a house. What's with this?
Do I have to date watching over my shoulders being over 40?
This is nice and thrilling.
Isn't this why people date?
Since I talked bad about Jin Jung Hye ahjumma...
Should I talk behind the knife handler, too?
You're having too much fun with it.
This is the reason
why the boss and the employee can't date at work since they tattletale.
What did she...
just say?
Didn't she say "date at work?"
She said one who's "vicious."
I don't think there's nothing negative you can say about Choi Seol Ja.
She is a fabulous knife handler.
Her skills are the best.
But she's good with a knife and acts all tough, but
she can't look at the crab's eyes when she cleans it.
She can't even eat sea snails because she's scared.
And when she uses the knife, she says she thinks about sexy stuff.
This is all done. Let's eat.
- The noodle maker... - You can stop now.
Why? We have to be fair, so talk about everyone.
When he kneads the dough on a bamboo stick,
he peeks outside to look at women in the hall.
The reason the dough is not even is because
he can't concentrate because he's looking at women.
Oh, daebak. He seems like he's not interested in women at all.
What do you mean?
Do you want some kimchi?
- Is it in the refrigerator? - I'll get it.
Let's see.
- You have to eat kimchi with ramen, right? - Yeah.
Where is kimchi?
You said you don't want to eat.
What is this?
Let's go out a little later.
Who ate this and left without cleaning up?
- This is still hot. - Huh?
The noodles aren't soggy.
Could it be Maeng Dal hyungnim and the Boss?
The chefs usually don't leave dirty dishes like this.
They wouldn't come in here, right?
Chef Poong's back is mine.
Should we just go out? We didn't have to hide.
Even if all the kitchen crew doesn't like you
I love you, Chef Poong.
I...
know everything.
Ms. Jin Jung Hye,
Ms. Chae Seol Ja,
Im Geok Jung and you.
You live together in one house as a family.
Your intention was to keep it a secret
from the beginning and were hired here.
I know everything.
[ Wok of Love ]
Sae Woo and I like each other.
Are you crazy?
What did you eat during the night to make you that brave?
I asked for a cooking challenge over Hwa Ryong Jum Jung.
Three days later, at 11 a.m.
Bring a knife handler and a wok assistant, total of three...
You have to come with the knife handler no matter what.
If you go with Chef Poong, you two have to get out of this house.
Please come out. I ask you.
