Shane, let's take a picture together.
Smile for me.
Please.
Smile.
You're the best.
What should I write?
How about #lonelyman2019,
or #sadman2019?
Pick one.
Actually, it's not so bad
seeing a friend leave
to go and study abroad.
I'm fine.
Did you say goodbye to her?
No.
What?
You're so cruel.
I'm cruel?
Kelly is the one being cruel here!
Women like us
often have to do
the opposite of what we actually want to do.
Because we can't bear any more pain.
I wanted to see her off, Sunshine,
but she gave me the wrong flight number
so I wouldn't see her!
Now tell me who's being cruel here!
I'm sorry.
I'm...I'm just mad at Kelly.
Are you mad because you care about her?
The truth is
I'm not that kind of person.
I'm just kidding.
Forget about it.
Kelly's gone.
Don't let it upset you.
How about this? I'll make you feel better.
Let me get changed first.
Are you ready?
Yes. Hang on.
I see. You mean you want to go out?
I thought we were going to do something else.
What do you mean?
Well...
I thought we were going to work out. Go jogging or...
Never mind.
Hello, my 50,000 followers.
I'm at the market right now.
I didn't get too dressed up.
Are you wondering who I'm here with?
Is he my boyfriend?
- Tell them if you're my boyfriend or not. - I...
He's not saying. He was someone else's boyfriend.
They just broke up.
He'll be my boyfriend soon.
Isn't that right, Shane?
- I... - Come on, Shane.
Why are you being so shy?
You've been on TV before, haven't you?
Sunshine.
Can you turn that off?
Fine. I'll stop.
I might have been on TV before,
but I'm not used to it.
I guess I got it from my mother.
Did your mother do live broadcasts too?
Of course not. They didn't exist then.
My mother was kind of camera-shy.
I got it from her.
Taew, please move a bit to the right.
Hello?
Sure. You want to eat Chef Taew's food.
Of course. You're welcome.
Wait. Hello?
This is The Crown Hotel. I see.
You want an interview with Chef Taew?
Can you try holding the vegetables?
Hello?
A reservation for Chef Taew's food?
On the 4th?
Oh, for four people. I'm sorry.
- I see. Your whole family is coming. - Can you try holding a plate?
- Okay. - Try holding a plate.
Taew, hurry up. Customers are waiting.
You're famous now.
Look.
Taew, where are you going? You forgot the fried rice I made.
Wait, Taew.
Can you stand a bit closer?
Let me take a picture.
- It looks a bit odd now. - Yes.
- It seems... - Remove the middle one.
Can the chef in the middle step aside?
Do you mean him?
Yes, please step aside.
- Thank you. - All right.
- I'll start. - Let's start.
Stand a bit closer.
Are you still shy?
You've done so many shoots.
I'm still not used to it.
- All right, smile. - Smile, guys.
Smile and look happy.
- Excuse me. - What?
Which way is the kitchen?
That way.
Wait!
What do you want?
I need to see Taew. I'm her boyfriend.
Please, kid.
If you are one of her fans, you must wait outside.
Chef Taew is working right now.
I'm not a fan.
I'm her boyfriend,
as in her lover.
Listen, kid.
You should learn to lie a bit better.
Chef Taew might look a bit plain,
but she wouldn't date a street kid like you.
Maybe he really is her boyfriend.
Hey, wait.
Suit yourself.
Please look at each other.
- Can you do that? - Yes.
One, two...
Beautiful.
- Beautiful and natural. - They look natural.
- I want flowers too. - Okay.
- Hold a flower. - Hold the flower,
- and hold her. - Hold each other.
Hold the flower and put your arms around her.
Hey!
Oh, my god.
Damn kid!
We're done.
I've been smiling for so long.
My gums are dry. I can't close my mouth.
Here. Drink some water.
It will calm you down.
I'm thirsty too.
Here. Drink some water.
It will calm you down.
You talk just like Pol.
The only difference is
you sound like a goose, look like a turtle,
and cook like a kid.
Don't drink, then. Give it back.
You're ugly.
Drink up. You're beautiful.
Let them be.
Just because two things go well together, doesn't mean they'll end up together.
What?
What did you say?
Think about tomatoes, for instance.
You can eat them with anything.
They taste very good with many dishes.
Yet, they're all on their own.
Are you talking to tomatoes now?
So,
what are they saying?
I won't tell you.
I know what they said.
They said, "Can't we be friends?"
Taew!
I've got big news!
- That hurt. - What is it?
Don't tell me I need to cook for someone.
No, not this time.
It's bigger than that.
The day has finally arrived.
The day we can hold our heads high with pride!
Our manager told me to tell you
that today...
Are we getting a raise?
I wish. We haven't had one in two years.
- What is it, then? - Tell us.
You'll be on TV!
Hey, don't look so surprised.
You look like a beauty queen who won a pageant.
"Oh, my. Did I win? I can't believe it."
You can't believe it?
- Gosh. - I got carried away.
No way. I'm not doing that.
Great.
What?
The manager told me to get her on TV, no matter what.
Now is not the time.
All right. Please talk to her.
What the...
Don't you want to be famous?
Of course I do, but I'm too shy.
I freak out during photo shoots.
Imagine if I was on TV.
I would ruin everything.
Everyone would laugh at me.
How about this? I'll help you, so you won't be scared.
I'll stand next to you.
- Really? - That way, you won't be too nervous.
Okay?
Here.
- No. - What?
- Back off.
Take a step back.
I can't move any further.
My heart's beating too fast. Stay right there.
So,
if you're with me, will they ask about our relationship?
They will. I'm sure they will.
What will you tell them?
That we are friends.
Do you want me to say you're my girlfriend?
Do you?
I don't know. That's up to you.
That's up to me?
Yes.
Where have you been?
You've been disappearing on me lately.
You should stay and help.
Oh, my god. Look.
A chef couple.
They look cute together.
I want a handsome chef for a boyfriend too.
They're not together!
What are you doing?
- Are you crazy? - Yes.
A dog bit him yesterday.
I haven't taken him to get his shots.
I'm sorry. Let me lock him up.
Come here.
What's wrong with you?
I'm sorry. I think I was possessed by a dog.
Don't blame it on a dog.
You're behaving like a dog.
How could a dog be this handsome?
Your stupid face
is like a dog's.
A rotten dog.
You can cause a scene if you want,
but Taew won't see it.
She's in heaven now,
but you're still swimming in shit with me.
You're exaggerating.
I'm not. I've seen it before.
Before those celebrities became famous,
they ate at my store every day.
As soon as they were on TV and people knew them,
they turned their noses up at my food.
Taew isn't like that.
It's not Taew's fault if she is like that.
People don't realize it when they change.
It's human nature.
When people get famous, they always forget their roots.
But Taew...
If you don't believe me, just wait and see.
Has she been to my store lately?
You wait and see. I trust Taew.
How salty.
- I'm not salty. - That's not what I meant.
Your hand is very salty.
Didn't I tell you
to wash them after you pee?
- Hey. - Shut up.
What's salty?
Don't add so much fish sauce.
Your roots are here.
- What roots? - It's nothing.
She wants me to get some lotus roots.
I'll be back.
Jom.
What are you doing?
Nothing. I'm just reading.
Why are you acting suspiciously?
Are you reading erotica?
You are, aren't you? What a pervert. Let me see.
No, I'm not.
Is something wrong?
You tell me.
Why are you asking me?
I just want to tell you
that I'm going to be even more famous.
Aren't you famous enough?
Well, my manager said I'll become even more famous.
Do you want to know why?
Why be famous?
Do you want to know why?
When people get famous, they change.
Do you want to know why?
They forget their roots.
Are you saying that I'll forget my roots?
No, I mean people in general.
What about these people?
Keng told me
that everyone forgets their roots when they become famous.
Everyone?
So, that must include me.
Does it include you?
How have I forgotten my roots?
I'm not saying you have.
You're accusing me.
You'll be famous soon. You don't have to worry about me.
Fine, I won't. Get out of here.
- Why are you kicking me out? - Because I want to.
Go away. Find another place to sleep. Don't come back.
Of course. It's me.
If I were Pol, you wouldn't act like this. Am I right?
You're crazy. You're always picking fights.
Do you want some bugs, roots...
Taew.
- What roots? - I mean...
I ran out of lotus roots. I forgot to buy some.
I won't have any if someone orders them.
The word is stuck in my head.
You're talking like Jom, about me forgetting my roots.
I bet you two have been talking behind my back.
Don't accuse me like that.
I only asked if you wanted some bugs. Don't get carried away.
Don't you need to find weird ingredients for that TV show?
Here. These are the weirdest ones you can find.
Aren't bugs a bit too weird?
What else can I do with them, aside from frying them?
You figure it out. Don't ask me.
Try one. It might give you an idea.
It's actually good.
I could make a spicy salad out of them.
Who knew that talking to you would help?
This is great. This way, I don't need to rely on Jom.
By the way, have you seen him?
Are you worried about him?
Of course not! What are you talking about? I'm not worried.
If you see him, tell him not to come home.
You should tell him yourself,
so he really won't go back.
If you act like a crazy bitch,
he might think you're just joking.
- Did you just call me a crazy bitch? - No!
I'm saying that someone who does the opposite of what they feel
is a crazy bitch.
How do you feel?
I'm not talking to you anymore. I'm thinking of some bug recipes.
Don't waste your time. I'll give you one.
Someone made a spicy bug salad on TV before.
- I'll write down the recipe for you. - What show was it?
Chim Pissadarn.
What's wrong?
That's the show I'm going on.
Really? In that case,
- I'll think of a new one. - It's okay.
I'll do it myself.
I tried to talk to Taew for you.
Did you really?
- You only insulted her. - Hey!
I had to insult her to make her realize.
Let her be. She'll come to her senses soon enough.
And don't go after her.
She'll take advantage of you again.
She comes to you when she has a problem.
Once her problem is solved, she runs to another guy.
There he goes. I knew it.
River snails?
How would I know?
No. I mean, can you use them for the TV show?
- They're too common. - What about frogs?
- Are frogs not common? - What about stingrays?
You can buy those everywhere.
- Taew. - Hey!
- You're crazy. - Is that weird enough?
Are you still mad at me?
No.
I don't believe you. You wouldn't be acting like this if you weren't mad.
What is weirder than river snails, frogs, and stingrays?
Do you want to know what's weird?
You.
You tell me you don't care,
but you keep talking about Pol.
When I asked for help, you told me to go to Pol.
I can do this alone.
Just stay out of it.
Taew.
- I'm sorry. I won't do it again. - Let go.
I won't do it again.
Let me go. Everyone's looking.
No. Stop being mad at me.
- All right. Let me go now. - Don't be mad.
I'm not. Let go.
Don't do that again.
I let you go.
Come on. Let's find something different.
Look.
- Shane. - What?
How are snakeheads
weirder than frogs and river snails?
Actually, my mother said that
every weird ingredient becomes common once people get used to it.
It's how you present it. Whoever does something first goes down in history.
By the way, that fish looks just like you.
It looks sad and depressed.
It's not as lively as it used to be.
Look at you.
Are you a sad snakehead?
Why don't you have some oysters instead?
Wait. What about these oysters?
How odd.
You call frogs common, but now you want to make tom yam with snakeheads.
Well, this snakehead is huge.
It looks so meaty.
Taew, it's not even dead yet.
- Will you eat it raw? - Yes.
It's sweet when it's raw.
You know, you look so ugly right now.
- What? - I won't leave you, though,
no matter how ugly you are.
- What if I had no arms? - That's fine.
- What if I had no legs? - Fine.
What if I had leprosy?
You can have leprosy,
ringworm, skin diseases, herpes, or gonorrhea,
but I won't leave you
because I love you.
Listen to yourself.
You're so romantic, flirting at a fish stall.
Do you want one? They're all dying.
Yes. This one, please. Don't chop it up.
You can't boil it whole. It won't be cooked through.
I know. Just give it to me.
- What will you do with it? - I won't tell you.
Don't tell me
that you're going to eat it raw.
How did you know?
- No, Pol. - What?
What are you doing?
I'm cutting it up into pieces.
Who said I was serving it in pieces?
I want to serve it whole.
Whole?
You can't make tom yam with a whole fish.
Who said I was making tom yam?
So,
what are you making?
I know. You're going to steam it and serve it with sauce, aren't you?
I must say, that sounds a bit boring.
It doesn't suit you, Chef Taew.
Hey, don't underestimate me.
I never do things in a normal way.
I will serve it in such a way that it stays hot.
Here's my plan.
CHAI THE BLACKSMITH
Excuse me.
We're looking for a pan.
How many?
- Just one. - Okay.
Choose a hanging one.
Pick the one you like.
I don't like any of them.
- What kind do you want? - Something like this.
It sucks.
Excuse me, sir.
You're in no place to judge her idea.
We wanted to buy that. What right did you have to tear it up?
It's a good idea,
but you can't draw.
Is this what you want?
Yes! I want one exactly like that.
All right, you can pick it up next Saturday.
But we need it this Saturday.
Did I tell you to pick it up on Sunday?
It will be ready on Saturday. Pick it up then.
- Do you want it or not? - Talk to us nicely!
Yes, we want it.
Hello, everyone, and welcome to
Chim Pissadarn.
Right now, we are at
The Crown Hotel.
You have probably guessed that we are here
to see the chef couple,
Chef Pol and Chef Taew!
Don't be shy.
Hello.
All right. They are here with us now,
Chef Taew and Chef Pol.
They're the famous chef couple that everyone's talking about.
By the way, when will we hear the good news?
Will you hold the wedding here?
Wait a second. Aren't we here to cook?
Oh, right. I'm sorry. I'm being nosy.
What will you two
make for us today
on Chim Pissadarn?
- Steamed snakehead with plum sauce. - That sounds great!
How is steamed snakehead with plum sauce a new dish?
The problem with steamed snakehead
is that the fish gets cold
before you finish it.
- I see. - I have thought of a way
to keep it hot.
I really want to see how this heating system looks.
Can you show me?
It's on its way.
- It's on its way? - Yes.
So, when will it arrive?
It will arrive when it arrives.
We'll continue when it gets here.
I can only wait for about an hour.
Ton, bring me the script.
Gosh.
Will Jom come?
He said he was coming, but he still isn't here yet.
I shouldn't have kissed him.
What did you say?
Jom, where are you going?
Don't forget to pick up the pan for me tomorrow morning.
I'm going to flirt with some girls at The Palace.
Don't wait up.
If I'm not here tomorrow, pick it up yourself.
Fine.
I'm joking.
I don't trust that old man. I'll check on him today.
If anything is wrong, we have time to fix it.
Wow, my baby
is growing up and becoming more responsible.
You look smarter.
Tell me more.
- You're more thoughtful. - What else?
- You're better at planning. - What else?
I might insult you instead.
Okay, then.
I'll check on him. I'll see you at the hotel.
That was to thank you.
Sir.
Are you here?
"Out of town. I'll be back on Saturday."
Saturday? Tomorrow is Saturday.
Oh, no. That crazy old man.
What are you doing?
You should ask yourself that. What are you doing?
I needed this today, but you went on vacation!
I'm doing it myself.
There's not much time left.
Who said I went on vacation?
I didn't have enough materials to make your pan,
so I had to go elsewhere.
It's here. Take a look.
Is this what you wanted?
Like this, right?
Here.
Thank you. I...
I'll come back to pay for the damage I've caused.
- Thank you. I have to go. - Sure.
No!
Are you okay?
I'm okay, thanks.
I can never rely on him.
Taew, I've got the pan.
Where were you?
They're leaving soon.
I can't trust you with anything.
- I'm sorry. - It's here!
Good luck, Taew.
What's next?
We will garnish it to enhance its appearance.
It will look tastier.
It smells great.
It looks amazing, everyone.
The smell of plums is making me drool.
The white flesh has been seasoned with spices.
I think this dish is astonishing.
The food is already great.
However, the fact that it's always boiling is blowing my mind!
Chim Pissadarn will have to give it
a 10 out of 10, or if it was out of 100, I would give it 100!
- Thank you. - Thank you.
- Yes. - Thank you.
This is great.
Here you go.
It's a trophy from our show, Chim Pissadarn!
How did you come up
with the idea of serving it on a hot tray with boiling water?
You even made it in the shape of a fish.
Whose idea was it? Was it Chef Taew's?
No.
Then it must have been Chef Pol's idea.
- Please put your hands together for him. - What?
- Clap, guys. - Thank you.
These two chefs make a perfect couple.
One of them
is an amazing chef,
while the other comes up with new and different ideas.
- They are perfect together. - Yes.
Without Chef Pol and Chef Taew,
we wouldn't be here today.
Let's drink to Chef Pol and Chef Taew!
Come here.
Let me drink to the bride and the groom.
I'm so happy. Let's go, guys.
Get going.
Make yourself at home.
You know, you didn't have to do that for me.
What do you mean?
During the shoot,
you said the fish tray was my idea.
I didn't say that. I wanted to say
it wasn't my idea, that it was Jom's.
They misunderstood. They thought it was you.
Jom has always been there for you, hasn't he?
Yes, he has.
Jom.
Taew.
I'm sorry. I haven't cooked you anything.
How do you feel? Can I see your arms?
Have you treated them?
Not yet. I couldn't drag myself to the store.
It's fine. I bought some medicine for you.
I'll take care of it.
Should we go to the doctor?
It's okay. Your medicine will heal me just fine.
I'm the worst. You were in so much pain,
and I scolded you.
Don't worry about it.
You were stressed with work. I understand.
You know, everyone at the hotel
loves the pan.
They told me to order more pans so we can put it on the menu.
So, I went to the blacksmith and got this.
Why did you bring it home?
It's so ugly. Look at it.
How is it ugly? It's priceless to me.
It's the best present I've ever received.
Thank you very much, Jom.
I wouldn't have done it if I wasn't so stupid.
Jom.
I have something to tell you.
I think I have found a man who loves me more than you do.
I see.
You must be here to say goodbye, then.
I wish you and Pol nothing but happiness.
It's not Pol.
Who is it, then?
Why is my rice so cold, Keng?
Did you give me leftovers?
You've been sitting there for hours.
How can it not be cold?
Take it home and ask Jom to warm it up for you.
No. I'll go home later.
What's wrong?
If you don't love him, just tell him.
It's not about Jom.
You crazy bitch. Don't you lie to me. I'll seriously scold you.
You'll scold me? You're scolding me now.
Yes, you're right.
You have to use your brain as well as your heart.
Otherwise, you'll end up like the rice.
You sat there daydreaming and didn't eat it.
Now, it's too cold for you to eat.
Everything is cold now.
It's cold, but it's not rotten.
That plate of rice is still waiting for you to take it home and eat it.
Have you ever thought about who was always there for you
when you were going through tough times?
Will you choose someone who's ready to stand by you
or someone you can only dream about
being with?
Only delusional people choose to live
in their dreams instead of reality.
Who is he, Taew? Why haven't I heard of him before?
When did you meet?
Well, I just met this guy.
How do you know he loves you more than I do?
I know because he's willing to give me everything, even his life.
Jom.
Will you marry me?
The man I'm proposing to
isn't the old, childish Jom
who took care of me the way a younger brother would.
He's a man
who acts like a man.
I would like him to love and care for me
the same way this new Jom does.
Taew, are you talking about me?
I'm going to be Taew's husband!
That's amazing.
It tastes amazing, right?
I'm talking about your story.
Wait, your food is amazing too.
Can't I enjoy your mother's story?
I've been rooting for her.
Just as I thought, she ended up with Jom.
The story isn't over yet.
What?
Is there another twist?
You're always like this. What happened?
I won't tell you just yet.
That's fine. I'll find out what happened myself.
