Nice.
This coffee is bitter but soft...
just like Manager Han and his cold but caring personality.
I didn't know he'd like sturdy women like me.
Ouch.
It hurts.
My name means peach in Korean,
but why do I look like Kyoho grapes?
I have thick bones and a dark skin tone. I'm a healthy type.
Men aren't fond of such kind of women, are they?
You're wrong. They are.
They are.
- Kyoho grapes. - Pardon?
Have you ever had Kyoho grapes from Yeongcheon, North Gyeongsang?
No.
I'm suddenly craving Kyoho grapes because of what you said.
- They're my favorite. - I see.
Let's get up now.
- Here. - Thanks.
Men like women like you.
Does that include you too?
Let's go.
- What are you doing? - I'm making Kyoho grapes...
I mean, coffee.
The general manager wants you to hurry in.
Okay.
That's impressive.
Amazing. Unbelievable.
You really did all of this by yourself, Seung Ah?
Without anyone's help?
I know. It seems like she's gotten someone's help.
If that's true...
(General Manager Lee Na Young)
If that's true,
I won't forgive you under the name of justice.
No one helped her out?
I didn't.
What should we do?
Should I just be honest and tell her the truth?
No, I never helped you, understood?
What do you think, Manager Han?
Well, not sure. She did a good job organizing the documents,
but I see a lot of awkward and inappropriate sentences.
And it's better...
not to use emojis for official reports.
Thank you for reading.
I see.
Well, good job finishing the report within the short period of time.
Thank you.
Reflect on Manager Han's feedback,
put my name on the cover, and send it to me via e-mail.
Okay, ma'am.
Wait a second.
I'm smelling a pain relief patch.
What's going on?
They said they're going to do an electrical inspection.
Rookie.
- Mr. Han. - Let me see.
In 1, 2, 3.
Mr. Han, are you okay?
Who is it?
- It's me. - It's me.
Mr. Han, did you get hurt somewhere?
Oh my goodness, where?
- I sprained my ankle. - Me too.
You two sprained the ankle?
How strange.
It happened while playing soccer with one of my customers.
What about you rookie?
I was working until late yesterday when the lights suddenly went out.
I got surprised and sprained it.
You should've been careful.
That's it for today's meeting.
You got it?
- Got it, got it, got it. - Got it, got it, got it.
Was it the ball or a rock?
I'll punish whatever it was.
Where do you play soccer? Don't you need any cheerleaders?
I'm fine.
You're not fine at all. Tell me what you need.
Should I pack some gimbap?
When do you play it? You like gimbap, right?
Gosh, I'm so sick.
I'm dying.
I wanted to hit straight on Seung Ah,
but I might end up going straight to death.
Hey, wake up. I'm hungry.
What's his deal?
Are you sick?
What's wrong with you?
I'm closed for today.
I'm not feeling well.
I see.
How much is a paprika at the market nearby?
95 cents.
- What about a bag of onions? - 3 dollars and 50 cents.
- And a carrot... - 85 cents.
- A can of ham? - A dollar and 69 cents.
All those including some eggs...
Are ingredients for an omelet.
Good. Use them...
to make me a soft and savory omelet.
What?
What are you saying?
Can't you see this?
What happened?
Why are all the lights off?
Why isn't it working?
"Under inspection"?
She isn't answering her phone either.
Was the Sales Team on the 25th floor?
Let's go.
Darn it.
I'm almost there, and the lights are back.
That means the elevator works now.
I'm sure Seung Ah will be touched after she eats this.
What?
Master Cook, I was really busy with work,
so I just checked my phone on my way home.
But why did you call?
She's on her way home?
Does that mean she went home?
My gosh, what am I going to do?
I don't think I can do anything today.
You can cook for yourself.
Why are you making me starve...
when you're the one who got yourself to this?
Hey, wake up. I'm hungry.
I'm sick. I'm sick.
Right, I can't just do nothing.
I was able to complete my project thanks to Mr. Han.
I wonder what I can do to express my gratitude...
and show him how I feel about him at the same time.
Okay, lunchtime will begin in 40 minutes.
He thinks of lunch very importantly.
I'm sure he'll be happy if I look up a famous restaurant...
and treat him to a meal.
It'd be nice if the place had a nice ambiance as well.
It'll feel like a date.
I like you.
Kyoho grape. Kyoho grape.
(The ninth meal, A sincere heart can always overcome destiny)
"Kyoho grape."
Hey, is this really necessary?
It's really cold right now.
Do you think I want to do this?
You said you're hungry.
You said you're craving omelettes.
But still, this is too much.
Then...
just starve.
- My gosh, hey. - Okay, fine.
Crack three eggs and add some salt.
Then add one fourth of a cup of milk and whisk it.
Why are you cracking it there?
Crack it in a bowl.
Hey, hey. You need to cut them into small pieces.
I'll be digesting it anyway. You're being so fussy.
No!
Hey, lower the heat.
It should be medium heat.
I'm starving to death.
Oh, right. I'm going to add some cheese inside.
Hey, if you're going to add that much, just eat plain cheese.
It smells really nice.
I can't watch this.
It's delicious.
It's a lot better than your version.
He has a really picky palate.
I need to find a restaurant that will suit his palate.
I need to search by using words that are very instinctive.
That will increase the probability of finding a truly good restaurant.
"Darn delicious". "Out of this world".
"Appetizing". "A truly famous restaurant".
"The food is making me dizzy".
Let's see.
I heard a true blogger that only posts good restaurants...
has the list of all the famous restaurants in Korea.
"Lemon water"?
Does this person drink lemon water just like Mr. Han?
My gosh.
It's exactly what Mr. Han would like.
There are even some restaurants I went with him.
Milmyeon. Frozen pork belly.
Beef?
What? Jjajangmyeon?
"The x-axis and y-axis"?
You must separate them into an x-axis and y-axis...
and mix the noodles thoroughly.
That's how you can spread the sauce evenly.
You shouldn't cut the noodles with scissors.
That will make the end parts taste differently.
You need to move the meat around...
so it can all get cooked evenly.
Does it taste better if you grill it this way?
My gosh, this person eats exactly like Mr. Han.
This is nice. I like this blog.
Rookie, are you busy?
Mr. Han.
I had to look up some stuff.
- You still have more to research? - No, that's not it.
It's something personal...
but I'm finding stuff that will help me increase my self-esteem.
I didn't know you had such low self-esteem.
Anyway, please update this customer list for me.
Oh, okay.
(Increase your self-esteem, Petit breast implants)
What is this?
My gosh, I'm doomed.
Mr. Han, we'll be back after we have lunch.
- Okay, enjoy. - Okay.
Seung Ah, do you want to join us?
I'm sure her mentor will take her to lunch.
They're so close.
If you say it that way, I'd say that...
you're also really close with Ms. Lee.
It seems like you guys share secrets as well.
What are you talking about?
Ms. Lee and I don't have any secrets.
We don't have any trust either.
What's the matter, Manager Won?
I thought we were close.
I'm not sure about that.
Manager Won, wait for me.
Manager Won.
I will treat you to lunch...
on behalf of the name of love and forgiveness.
Manager Won!
Mr. Han, aren't you going to eat lunch?
Don't you think you're relying on me too much for lunch?
- It only counts when we... - No, that's not it.
I just wanted to treat you to lunch today.
Why?
You helped me gather information for the report...
and I want to thank you for always taking me to nice restaurants.
I was thinking about quoting some of the things you said...
every time you took me to nice restaurants.
- That's not necessary. - Wait.
The current weather.
It's cold. The relative humidity?
It's a little moist.
Wind speed. Cannot be sure.
Current psychological mood.
90 percent is filled with gratitude for Mr. Han.
I'm also relieved that I'm done with a huge project.
I'm not on duty and I don't have any meetings with clients.
So I'd like to enjoy my lunch break as much as I can.
And it's the perfect restaurant to express my gratitude.
Yes, that place will do.
Let's go.
[Kocowa Ver] MBC E17 Jang Geum, Oh My Grandma "Lemon Water" -♥ Ruo Xi ♥-
It's nice to be able to walk without being in a hurry.
Maybe it's because we're walking really slow,
but my ankle doesn't hurt at all.
Are you okay?
You can hold my arm.
Forget it if you don't want to.
Thank you.
Is your ankle all right?
Yes, I guess.
It's behind the gallery, right?
It's this way then.
Mr. Han, you must've been around this area a lot.
Right,
but it's been a while.
A while?
Were you here on a date then?
It's known as a walking spot for couples.
I guess I was right.
I know it's our lunch break, but I feel like we're slacking off.
Where on earth is the restaurant?
Ta-da. We're here.
This renovated 70-year-old hanok...
is now an Italian restaurant that shows off the beauty of Korea.
"The chef who's also the owner opened it..."
"after being blown away by Venetian cuisine."
That's what it said on a blog.
The blogger's actually quite famous. Do you know "Lemon Water"?
Yes, I know it's popular blogger.
I see.
Then do you know him or her in person?
I couldn't find any personal information...
about the blogger.
No,
I don't know who it is.
(Bok Seung Ah's food bucket list, O Restaurant in Jongno)
(Actually, it's from Han San Hae's food bucket list.)
This place was added to my food bucket list a long time ago,
but I've never been able to come here since that day.
However, now I'm here.
Mr. Han, aren't you coming?
Oh, right.
It's been over 10 years so...
We only have two seats available at the bar. Is that all right?
Sure.
They only have two seats left.
It's actually a place where you must wait in line...
if you don't make reservations.
It must be our lucky day.
You can choose whatever you want today.
Everything's on me.
I saw that on the blog too.
Is it any good?
It's an Italian aperitif...
which goes well with Venetian seafood plates.
I see.
Hong Jin Young?
Han San Hae?
I can't believe it.
It's nice to see you.
Right, you too.
I did think that I might...
run into you someday.
It feels odd to see you here though.
Has it been 14 years?
Right.
This is where we last saw each other,
so it's been very long.
I missed you.
We? 14 years ago?
The last time? Why would she miss him?
You look much better.
It's nice to see you looking healthy.
I could say the same thing.
You're dressed nicely too.
You now look good in suits.
It's fascinating.
You changed a lot since the last time I saw you.
You must know each other well.
Right...
This is Bok Seung Ah, a junior of mine at work.
She's...
I'm Hong Jin Young, San Hae's college friend.
It's nice to see you.
Yes, hello.
You must be here dining alone though.
I run a blog,
so I'm here on research.
I see. I found this place from a blog review too.
Do you know a blogger named "Lemon Water"?
That person is very famous.
I'm that Lemon Water.
You?
How fascinating!
It must be because you were friends then.
You two have the same taste in food...
to the point that it's quite eerie.
- Well... - That's right.
Our palates are 100 percent compatible.
Would you like to order?
- Halibut carpaccio... - Halibut carpaccio...
Also, halibut pasta, right?
Right.
That's what we'll each have.
Sure.
(Fresh halibut pasta with tartar sauce, 35 dollars)
(Halibut carpaccio with pistachios, 15 dollars)
I see your palate hasn't changed.
That's right.
You too. You still order for two.
It's not like you to eat out with a junior colleague though.
Especially a female one.
This isn't who you used to be.
Why? Did Mr. Han not eat out with his juniors...
during his years in college?
In college, he always ate by himself.
I was the only girl he'd eat with,
which made people curious about us.
There's no need to mention that.
You must've been very close.
(Spring of 2004)
"A Moment to Remember" is in theaters.
Should we go and watch it?
- Sure. - Are you eating by yourself again?
Why not grab something at the convenience store?
How dare you dishonor the sacred act of eating?
Just leave him be.
Let's go.
- See you later. - Bye.
- Enjoy your meal, guys. - Sure.
Welcome.
(Pork cutlet set)
In order to taste the meat properly, you must only eat it with salt.
- Pork cutlet... - Pork cutlet...
- With salt. - With salt...
Please.
Thank you.
- Pepper, please. - Pepper...
Pork cutlet...
It tastes best when only eaten with salt.
Next, I will now eat it with the sauce.
That way, I'll be enjoying it two ways.
- Egg sandwich... - One egg sandwich...
- With bacon. - With bacon!
In this egg sandwich,
you must add bacon.
That way, you can get the perfect combination of...
sweetness and saltiness.
He must know his food.
Thumbs up
- Welcome. - Hello.
Can I get a portion of pan tteokbokki?
I'm sorry, but we don't serve single portions of that.
What about those who eat alone then?
What if I pay an extra dollar?
Excuse me.
You want to join me?
(Tteokbokki: jjajang, gochujang, mixed)
This is the boundary.
The upper side is yours, and the lower side is mine.
Don't cross the line.
Suit yourself. I'm going to take my portion out anyway.
Why do you always eat alone?
- Don't you have friends? - You're one to talk.
I like eating alone.
I get to enjoy all of the food that is being served...
without having to share it and take my time.
Is it the same for you?
You know what. I've been really wanting to ask you this.
Do you want...
some dumplings?
- Excuse me. - Excuse me.
We became lunch partners ever since that day.
It's so delicious. I passed out.
She was sensitive about portions...
and I was sensitive about others' saliva.
We had satisfying meals based on a beautiful mindset as individualists.
It's amazing.
I can't believe we ran into each other here of all places.
I know.
What a coincidence to eat at this restaurant where we broke up...
and with Seung Ah of all people.
Here's your halibut carpaccio.
Can you give us an extra plate?
Thank you.
You've kept drinking lemon water?
Thanks to you.
Carpaccio is an appetizer of thinly sliced meat or fish...
served with olive oil and spices.
It's a very common dish in Venice, Italy...
just like kimchi stew in Korea.
Their carpaccio is good enough...
to make even Alberto from Venice homesick.
It'd be like Hyung Don from Busan...
putting his thumbs up...
after having pork gukbap in Italy.
They thinly sliced the halibut in a bitable size with...
the thickness of 0.2cm, the width of 1.5cm, and the length of 2cm.
Cream, yogurt, and Grana Padano...
were mixed together for the sauce.
They sprinkled their homemade lemon oil...
to refresh the bland taste of halibut.
You're so good at catching the hidden secrets behind the taste.
But the highlight of this carpaccio is its texture.
To reduce its squashy texture, they added...
roughly ground pistachios over the halibut.
They mixed roughly ground ones with finely ground ones.
The salty taste of cheese, the savory taste of pistachios,
and the clean taste of halibut.
These three tastes create a perfect harmony.
What are you two doing?
- This carpaccio is good. - I know.
It's so delicious. I passed out.
It's amazing.
I won't get sick of it even if I eat it all night long.
What's this? Olives?
- That's a caper. - That's a caper.
I see, a caper.
What's this competitive mood surrounding them?
They're like a food fighter couple crazy over food.
(Part 2 will air shortly.)
Here is your halibut pasta.
Rookie.
Temperature is key for this dish, so quickly dig in.
Sure thing.
- This taste... - This taste...
Beautiful lady!
It feels like we're actually in Italy.
The halibut pasta is so delicious...
that I feel like I'm back in Italy.
Hello, my love!
Could the halibut be more charming?
The halibut pasta is the best!
You're absolutely right.
- Magnificent. - Magnificent.
The halibut is diced into small pieces and marinated.
At first, I taste the clean flavors and chewiness of halibut sashimi.
But over time, the pasta sauce drenches the fish...
which deepens the flavors once more.
You're right. The sauce is divine too.
Butter and lemon are added...
to broth made from halibut bones... enriching the flavor.
I see. That's why I'm tasting such flavors.
The halibut tastes different now.
My gosh.
They're having fun and I can't even fit in.
This is unbelievable.
Italian parsley and dill have been added...
which is why the dish doesn't taste fishy at all.
Even though there aren't any vegetables,
the dish tastes refreshing.
This linguine pasta has been cooked...
to "al dente".
The halibut is soft and the pasta is firm to the bite.
Aren't I right?
Yes, you are.
I knew it!
Darn it.
It's got a taste that makes me burn up inside.
Right?
I'm glad you're enjoying it too.
You're buying, so have your fill.
Sure.
Rookie.
You always evaluate how it tastes if it's this or that.
Nothing for today?
I don't know.
It tastes like...
A homesick Cristina would have a bite of this pasta...
I'm Cristina from Italy.
And she would say, "I want to say this to my husband."
"My gosh, I'm in Italy. This is good."
It tastes as if she'd say that.
You're so funny. It makes perfect sense.
Thank you.
Let me use the restroom real quick.
It seems like you two were pretty close.
Why didn't you stay in touch?
Well, after we graduated, life sort of got in the way.
After they graduated, life got in the way.
I see.
But if you were friends in college,
do you know who his first love is?
His first love?
Yes, I heard she was so delicate and feminine.
I heard she was his first love from school.
I see.
But it sounded like her personality wasn't great.
He told me they didn't get along.
I'm sorry.
I'm not sure. I don't know.
I only remember visiting restaurants around our school...
with San Hae and eating there.
I see.
How did you meet her?
We met at a restaurant near the school.
A restaurant, I knew it.
What was she like?
She liked eating delicious food like me.
Then could it be her?
By the way, you look great now.
You look slim and in shape.
The same goes to you. You must've worked out a lot. You look good.
The halibut pasta was good quality.
The sauce and the dressing were authentic as if it were from Venice.
Everything was perfect.
The prices are a bit high and there aren't that many tables.
Considering how without a reservation, people have to wait,
- I give 3 stars. - 3 stars.
(San Hae's Food Guide)
- I'm going to use the restroom. - Sure.
This feels so weird. How we're meeting on a day like this.
I know. Let's meet time to time.
By the way,
are you seeing her?
No, I'm not. She's a colleague. How could I?
You can't fool me.
I can see right through you.
Try your best. Don't regret later.
I said we're not seeing each other.
And here I thought my day was going so well.
They finish each other's sentences, as if they've known forever.
They're soulmates for each other.
What's this?
Starting today, Mr. Han will have Act 2 of his 1st love.
And is it Act Two for my one-sided love?
It's so delicious that I passed out!
I passed out!
I'm doomed.
I'm sorry. Please don't be mad.
Until when will you stay mad at me?
To tell you the truth, you did disappoint me.
You bought me an expensive meal.
And I wasn't angry anymore by then.
Then why the long face?
That's because...
The source of my anger is right there.
That's Mr. Han's car.
Get down.
Ms. Lee, you don't stand a chance anymore.
What do you mean?
My gosh.
Take my arm.
I'm fine.
You don't look fine.
Rookie, why do you look so down?
Pardon? What do you mean?
I'm feeling perfectly fine.
What have I just witnessed?
It's San Hae's fling within the workplace which you hate.
Darn it.
What is this?
I'm drinking juice on the rooftop of your label.
I ought to drink a cold glass of beer here.
I'm sorry. I'm tied to this place. I have no choice.
You're about to make your debut as a super idol star.
You cannot go around and drink.
Hey, you told me you had to get in shape for your new project.
Don't pin it on me.
I'm just telling you how I feel. That's it. I feel bad, you know.
- It's a bit disappointing, right? - Right.
- Jin Mi! - Hey.
Right here.
I did think I smelled something disgusting.
It was the smell of abuse.
What are you saying?
You came out of nowhere. Why are you talking about abuse?
Smoking abuse.
Don't you know smoking is prohibited in this building?
Hey, she's that old trainee, right?
She's got her nagging skills in spades.
Excuse me, please don't butt in someone else's business.
Can't you just go on your way?
I see. Sure. I'll just leave.
But did you know?
If you keep smoking like that,
smoking after every meal will shorten your life.
If you smoke on the street, you'll get beat up.
It's not called smoking. It's, "smoke kills".
- Has she gone mad? - Hey, let's just go.
If we say the wrong thing to her, I guess she'll crush us.
Quit smoking before I crush you.
Okay?
You can't do that. Don't you know how scary kids are these days?
Scary, my foot.
As someone who promoted anti-smoking, I must do my part.
They don't know how dangerous secondhand smoke is.
You can't smoke either. Got it?
What if I do?
Forget about my food. That day, it'll be the end of you.
The end. Got it?
Hey, don't you think you're taking it too far?
I don't know about other stuff, but...
Oh, right.
He's my close friend whom I went to school with...
since elementary to high school.
He's on TV as a rising actor from J Entertainment.
Hello, my name is Shownu.
His name is Shownu.
Hello. My name is Han Jin Mi.
- Nice to meet you. - Okay.
Seriously?
My precious break is almost over already.
I should get going.
- I'm off now. Bye. - Okay.
Practice hard.
Hey, did you hear that?
"Smoking after every meal will shorten your life."
"If you smoke on the street, you'll get beat up"?
Was it that funny?
Those scary things sounded so cute when she said it.
She has an innocent and cute look, but she's tough inside.
She's totally my type.
- What's going on between you two? - We're just friends.
- Just friends? - Yes.
Does she have a boyfriend?
I'm not sure.
I don't think she does. Why?
- Then set me up with her. - What?
I'm keeping your secret to other trainees.
We'll call it even if you set me up with her.
Hey, she won't say yes to a blind date though.
Come on. How do you know that? You didn't even ask her.
Just set me up with her first.
I'll take care of the rest.
Where is all this confidence coming from?
From my good looks.
Anyway, do me a favor, okay?
Okay, sure.
My gosh.
My gosh, my body aches so much.
But I feel a lot better now that I took a nap.
I wonder what Mom sent us today.
Let's cheer up and start cooking.
This cultured halibut we got this time...
is extremely fresh.
I hope you enjoy the light taste...
and chewy texture of this fish.
The meat is solid, and the color is beautiful.
It really is one fresh halibut.
Korea's favorite fish for sashimi is halibut.
It's known for being high in protein and low in calories.
It also has a lot of taurine, collagen, DHA, EPA,
and amino acids.
Not only is it good for your fatigue,
but it's also good for your brain, high blood pressure,
your skin, and anti-aging.
It's as nutritious as multi-vitamins.
On top of that, it's light and doesn't have a lot of grease,
so it's perfect to cook them into steaks.
And thanks to their chewy texture and sweet taste,
people also enjoy them in sashimi.
Halibuts can be cooked in so many different ways.
Keeping the chewy texture and freshness...
of the halibut as much as we can,
we're going to cook a spicy dish that will get rid of your stress...
and make your rice disappear in an instant.
Here's today's dish. "Halibut,"
"I put dibs on you."
Now, let's begin.
Here are the ingredients.
Halibut. Styela clavas.
Bean sprouts. Brackens.
Spring onions and so on.
First get rid of the fin and the intestines from the fish.
Then chop them up into edible sizes.
(HD, Fun Cooking Robot, Number of viewers: 5,331)
And don't forget to wash it clean with some salt water.
Wash the steyla clavas by stirring them in light salt water.
Then put a hole in them with a skewer.
(Wash the steyla clavas and put a hole in them with a skewer.)
(300g of clean bean sprouts)
Now, cut the spring onions sideways.
(Cut 2 spring onions sideways)
Chop. Chop.
Now, here's a tip.
If you add some bracken,
it'll not only be more nutritious, but it'll become more chewy.
Also, halibuts and bean sprouts are a really great match.
It's not something you can normally enjoy at restaurants.
So make sure you try it at home.
As for the sauce, don't add any gochujang.
Just add some chili flakes.
Then it won't taste as dry...
and you'll be able to make...
a spicy and refreshing dish of braised halibut.
(Boil the halibut.)
(Then leave only a little bit of water and get rid of the rest.)
(Then add all the prepared ingredients and bring it to a boil.)
(2T of starch, 1 cup of water)
(Sesame oil, an adequate amount of perilla oil, 7T of perilla powder)
[Kocowa Ver] MBC E18 Jang Geum, Oh My Grandma "Bye, Mr. Han" -♥ Ruo Xi ♥-
Why did Seung Ah act that way earlier?
Seung Ah probably never tried this dish before.
When you're quiet like this,
it either means the food's incredibly delicious...
or something's bothering you.
Which one is it?
- What are you talking about? - What are you talking about?
It's because it's delicious.
What are you doing, Master Cook?
Can you come out for some soju right now?
Thank you for the meal.
Why did he eat in such a hurry?
He already finished everything?
What's wrong with him?
Is getting changed really quickly...
your new talent?
I have to go somewhere.
- I'll clean the table later. - Okay.
I'd be grateful if either one of you cleaned the table for me too.
What did I even expect?
See you.
Okay, bye.
He's been acting sick all day, but I guess it was all just a lie.
I'm sorry for calling you out so late at night.
I really craved soju today,
but you're the only friend I have in this neighborhood.
By the way, did you go somewhere today?
What? Oh, well.
I took a walk because the weather was so nice.
By the way, is something troubling you?
No.
Then why do you look so down?
It's nothing.
Nothing?
That's such a complicated word.
Okay, then.
This gets rid of almost all the bad smells in any ingredient.
And when you're feeling down,
a glass of soju also works best.
- Cheers. - Cheers.
Didn't you eat today?
No, I had a really delicious meal.
But regardless of how much I ate, I kept feeling empty.
Who did you eat with?
Mr. Han.
But...
we met his first love there.
She seemed really delicate.
Are you talking about Jin Young?
I don't know why they broke up,
but they still seemed to click really well.
They also seemed pretty affectionate toward each other.
I'm surprised they met there as if they were destined to meet.
My gosh, that's nonsense.
She's no longer available in the market.
She's married.
What? She's married?
It's been about five years since she got married.
Rumors say she and her husband are still madly in love.
I see.
I hope they continue to be madly in love with each other.
Master Cook, try some of this.
You're being awfully straightforward.
I mean, I have hands too.
By the way, you seem really happy all of a sudden.
I naturally become happy every time I talk with you.
Really? Me too.
Then should we meet up at the street bar from time to time?
- Sure. - Sure.
Can we get another bottle of soju, please?
- Here. - Okay.
- Cheers. - Cheers.
Why was she like that after having a nice meal?
Was it because the food was too expensive?
My gosh, she's bothering me so much.
I can see right through you.
Try your best. Don't regret later.
Me? Why would I regret?
Good job.
Good job. Good job.
I miss you, Mom.
I like you.
I really like you.
Men aren't fond of such kind of women, are they?
You're wrong. They are.
I'm home.
- It's Mr. Han. - Rookie, are you sleeping?
It's Mr. Han. My goodness.
No, I just got home.
Rookie, are you busy this weekend?
This weekend?
No, wait.
Do we have another business trip?
Do we have to go on a business trip again?
I was going to treat you to a movie in return for today's meal.
I'll try to schedule a business trip if you want.
A movie?
I love it. I want to go for a movie.
San Hae. San Hae.
Knock before you come in.
- You punk. - Sorry.
You reek of alcohol.
Sorry.
Knock, knock.
Are you drunk?
I heard you ran into Jin Young today.
That's right.
- What? - Why didn't you tell me?
You know how curious I was?
There's nothing to be curious about.
Of course, there is.
You were crazy in love with her.
That almost killed you two.
Thank goodness you broke up with her.
- Cheers. - Cheers.
It's delicious.
It's sweet like honey.
It's so delicious.
- Jin Young. - Yes?
You want to bet on who finishes this first?
- Then... - The loser...
- Go on. - will have to buy coffee.
Just like we fell in love with delicious restaurants,
we naturally fell in love with each other.
So much...
that we couldn't control each other's weight.
Aren't you full?
Aren't you not full enough?
- Is that so? - I'm not.
We were so blinded by love that we didn't even know...
how heavily we ate.
As the love grew bigger,
our bodies grew bigger as well.
On our 2nd-year anniversary...
Why isn't she coming?
San Hae.
Don't look back.
Just listen.
I don't think I can tell you this face to face.
What is it about?
Let's break up.
How could our love change?
It's not love,
but our bodies that changed.
Look at ourselves.
We can't find any clothes that fit us...
unless we go to a big size clothing store in Itaewon.
I got a checkup result.
Becoming extremely obese in a short time...
gave me high blood pressure, hyperlipidemia, and diabetes.
We can't keep this on.
It's okay. We can get through this.
No.
I want to stop gaining weight now.
Jin Young.
Jin Young!
Jin Young. Jin Young...
Jin Young.
It breaks my heart...
whenever I hear that love story.
So how did she lose her weight?
Oats? Calamansi?
Konjac?
Or herbal tonics?
How did you find out that I met her?
Seung Ah told me.
- She did? - Yes.
She looked a bit down,
so I encouraged her by having a drink with her at a bar.
You hang out with her often these days.
Well...
We're teacher and student.
We're neighbors, so we run into each other often too.
Right.
I have a crush on her. What are you going to do about it?
What?
I like...
Seung Ah, San Hae.
What does my heart want me to do?
What does my love want me to do?
Just like how halibut is cooked on the warm pasta,
my heart becomes ripe more and more.
- Cheers. - Cheers.
What does my love want me to do?
What am I supposed to do?
(Jang Geum, Oh My Grandma)
It's chewy like jelly...
and savory like pork belly.
- It's hot. - It's hot too.
Help me.
What's wrong?
Your house was like this when you came home?
Let's go to my house first.
What, Seung Ah is coming to our house?
We have cooking lessons to do.
He's so passionate.
Is it because they're around the same age?
They get along so well.
Our age difference is...
Look at his college fashion style.
You must not know, but it was trendy at that time.
Old-timer.
You look younger than your age.
I won't be able to sleep...
if I don't eat your food today.
No.
Jin Mi.
I like you.
