Are you the one?
What?
Did you beat up
those guys?
So what do you want me to do?
Apologize when I say it nicely.
You got to be kidding me. You don't even have a dad.
Let go. Let go. Quickly let go!
You better let go quickly!
Grandpa, are you mad?
It's not that I wanted to do that but
he said I don't even have a dad...
Aren't you hungry?
Bo Gwang Chinese Cuisine
Grandpa, is today a special day?
What do you mean?
Hurry and eat.
People used to call us as an incomplete family.
Incomplete by number of the family.
But I still loved my family.
So I was okay.
But...
now I'm alone in this world.
Without a family...
Episode 11
Hey, Bo Ah.
I took care of whatever I can.
I didn't know how to do
an obituary.
Thank you, Boss.
I'll take care of it.
Name, phone number, email
Please contact me.
So Bo Ah.
Yes, Boss.
Can you come for a moment?
I contacted your friends.
So you came?
Why did this happen so suddenly?
Bo Ah, are you okay?
Yeah.
Yeah, right.
If something like this happened you should've called us first.
If you want to cry then just cry.
It's okay.
We're here.
Funeral Hall
Please enjoy.
The part-timer must've been shocked.
Yes.
But Boss, why are you here like a family member?
It's because...
Just eat.
It's the end when you depart this world.
So take care of your elderly while you still have them.
It's so sad for Bo Ah.
She's alone in this world.
Why? She still has Gong Cheol.
Do you think he's still alive?
He must've been dead by now.
Do you think?
How can he never keep in touch
unless he's dead.
Do you think he'd live like that?
Seo Myung Dong
If he's a decent human being
he'd have missed his own child.
Excuse me but...
how are you related to my grandpa?
It's my first time seeing you.
You must be Bo Ah.
Do you know me?
Of course I know.
Long time no see you, my daughter.
Why did you dress up all of a sudden?
Ah, it's because Bo Ah's grandpa passed away.
Do you want to go with me?
It's okay. It's weird for me to be there.
But what's going on?
You said you have something to say.
Nothing serious but,
- your mom's chicken place...- Yeah.
will be on TV soon.
Not from our program but from other channel.
I thought you should know.
So it'll be on TV?
So I guess she's really serious about this.
But why aren't you telling her directly?
Just because... I don't want to see him again.
I don't want to see someone who's not interested.
Oh
Also,
I have something else to say.
Let's not see each other anymore.
I don't think we should even
see each other as friends either.
If you're saying this because of that night, I made a mistake.
Something like that won't happen again.
It wasn't a mistake.
You know that, too.
I want to be honest with myself.
I lived like that so far.
But no matter what you and I are not for each other.
Let's stop doing this.
It's been brief but thank you.
I am also sorry
I thought we could've been great friends.
I know.
Goodbye.
Do you drink?
A little.
When was the last time we saw each other?
I don't remember.
Yeah, you were really little so I understand.
Did you know that mom passed away?
I heard.
Then why didn't you come?
It was too late.
It can't be an excuse.
Oh, Gong Cheol.
Do you remember me?
Ah, yes. Long time no see you, Ahjussi.
What happened to you all this time?
Myeong Dong wouldn't talk about you.
So all of us thought something happened to you.
I'm a bad son. I'm so shame to see you.
How can an educated person like you can abandon
your parent and a child?
I was so immature back then.
Please take this cup. Let me serve you a drink. It's been a while.
Go ahead!
Yes
- Uh? Director Park. Are you coming home now?- Yeah.
Why did you drink so much?
Just because... But mom,
did you just hum by yourself?
Did I? You're silly.
What are you doing?
What do you mean? I'm organizing my ledger.
Hey, Director Park. Let me give you some allowance.
- What?- Come here.
Spend this. Here.
Spend it.
-Mom -what?
Will you be on TV?
How did you know that?
Why did you do that? Do you know anyone from a broadcasting station?
Are you paying to be broadcasted?
What are you talking about?
Our place became famous by word of mouth.
They begged me to be on TV so I agreed.
What?
Look at this. Come here.
Look at this.
Oh my... this person just posted the review.
You seem so happy right now.
What are you saying? I'm doing this because I'm pushed to do it.
Oh my. She wrote so many kind words.
Look at this.
It says it's delicious. Look.
Hey, Daebak incident.
My mom is getting into the business.
My mom was always so tired after work but...
I have to quit drinking.
I really have to quit.
This may sound like an excuse but,
back then I wasn't ready to be a dad.
So I just ran away out of fear.
It sounds like an excuse.
Does it?
I'm sorry.
I'm sure you definitely had moments when you needed a dad.
No, I haven't.
I had mom and grandpa with me.
I never felt that there was a void
in my family.
Okay.
I'm greatly indebted to your mom and grandpa.
You should rest. I'll keep my eyes on the incense.
You should rest. You must be tired.
I can't fall asleep.
Thank you.
Without you and my friends,
I'd have been struggling a lot.
What if I'm not ready?
My grandpa told me to live as a decent human being.
I'm not sure what that is.
I'm like that, too.
I just pretend to be an adult.
But don't you think that everyone's the same?
You're like that, too?
Of course.
I still argue with my mom regarding my future.
The scale has gotten bigger. That's all.
I thought my dad was a
monster with a horn on his dad.
If that's not the case,
how can he not come even once?
I didn't understand.
But seeing him
being normal with common sense,
I'm confused what kind of person he is.
I don't even know what to tell him.
I'm not sure if I should smile or be angry.
I want to say something to encourage you.
I'm not sure if anything I say can comfort you.
So I can't say anything.
But while you're thinking though those thoughts
I'll stay next to you.
In the movies,
the character would say something deep in times like this.
Should I say something?
It's okay.
Let's just stay like this. I think this is comforting, too.
Go to sleep.
I can't fall asleep.
That brat
I'm happy that you're happy.
♫ I’ll don’t cry for my life. The day I become the me
♫ I wanted to be I’ll laugh out loud ♫
♫ Shining more as if to show off ♫
♫ I'll be here for dreaming ♫
Twenty thousand.
Dang, this is no fun.
I'll say this,
out of concern.
Don't be hurt but just listen, okay?
I'll listen, Ahjussi.
You didn't come here
- because of money, right?- Excuse me?
Ahjussi, I'm not that kind of a person.
Really? Good.
I'm glad to hear that.
There's nothing for you.
Excuse me?
Myeong Dong wrote on his will
that he'll give everything to Bo Ah.
There's a will?
So,
don't be greedy because it's useless.
Okay?
Dang. He's being a problem even till the last minute.
The business is closed for several days due to personal reasons. We apologize.
Bo Ah, why don't you wash up and sleep?
You went through a lot last several days.
You wash up first.
I'll wash up after you. I'm tired.
Okay, then.
Bo Ah! Wash up and go inside to sleep.
♫ Lucky in my life ♫
♫ You're approaching me like a dream ♫
♫ When I get sad, I'm lucky in my dream ♫
♫ You embrace me tight with warmth ♫
♫ I smile like this always ♫
♫ Even if the world gives me a hard time ♫
♫ I don't want to cry ♫
♫ in front of you who may not know me ♫
♫ I'm glad that from far away ♫
♫ I can cherish your smile ♫
♫ Please take a step forward ♫
When are you sleeping until?
Did you forget about the promise already?
You said that you'll live as a decent person.
Grandpa.
Bo Ah!
Yes.
When did you get up?
Is that...
Ah, this
is really expensive, right?
This works really well.
Thank you, Boss.
What are you drawing? Is it going well?
Just anything. It's been a while so my hand is stiff.
I was lightly warming up my hand.
Continue with your
work. I'll call you when the rice is ready.
♫ The warm season that I thought would never come into my heart again ♫
♫ Has come into my arms with you who flew like a butterfly ♫
♫ I have so many questions for you, it’s making me dizzy ♫
♫ From A to Z, I just want to know you ♫
Bo Ah! The meal is not ready yet.
♫ When your smile that’s whiter than a star spills into my heart ♫
♫ It feels like I’m endlessly walking ♫
♫ into your clear melody ♫
♫ Hold my hand, as if it was always us from the beginning ♫
♫ Because you and I, we’re clearly destiny ♫
Thank you, Boss.
♫ I’m falling in love ♫
♫ I’m only getting filled with reasons I like you that are getting countless ♫
♫ Love love love is shining light ♫
♫ When I’m with you, wherever we are, it’ll be filled with light ♫
Uh, uh...
- It's burning.- Oh.
Ah...
♫ What words are needed when you’re so dazzling by my side? ♫
♫ I have you, who makes me happy, just by looking at you ♫
♫ Whatever happens, I’ll promise you this ♫
♫ I’ll never become the source of your tears ♫
So, Boss.
Yes.
Would it be possible to adjust my work schedule?
- Your work schedule?- Yes.
I want to go back to drawing webtoon.
Since lunch time is slow, I'd like to work in the afternoon.
Would it be okay?
Of course, it's okay. Anything else?
Just tell me if there's anything I can help.
Alright.
Right. When is your mom's chicken place being broadcasted?
Don't we need to prepare something, too?
I talked to the chef. We're thinking of creating a new dish.
Something that can differentiate us.
Bo Ah. You can't take our recipe this time.
Boss!
I'll do it.
You will? By yourself?
Try it.
This is the new dish we came up with.
Then I'll try it first.
Wow, daebak.
This is great!
This is good.
Why? Isn't this what you were looking for?
No, this tastes good.
The seafood flavored soy sauce goes well with chicken and the spiciness adds a kick to it.
But you don't seem satisfied.
It tastes good but it doesn't compete with mom's chicken recipe.
The taste is important but I wish we have something to arouse people's curiosity.
People's curiosity...
Yes.
Sprinkling some special toppings can be an idea, too.
Welcome!
The bath house changed like this? Wow!
This is refreshing.
Hello.
Oh, so you have a business. We've met before.
I'm Seo Gong Cheol.
I'm Park Choi Go.
Do you want me to call Bo Ah for you?
No, I'm not here to see Bo Ah today.
Then...
Since I'm here, let me try your chicken.
Please give me an order.
Please enjoy.
Mr.
Please have a seat.
Excuse me?
Have a seat so we can talk.
This is good! I didn't expect much because you're young but this is good.
So how is the business? Is it going well?
Yes.
That's good.
Before I came here, I went to see several realtors around here.
But I found out that my dad rented out this place way too cheap.
Excuse me?
There's a going rate, right?
I'm sure you looked into it when you started your business.
What are you saying?
I'll say it directly.
I'd like to rewrite the contract.
I'm sorry but we still have long time until our lease is up.
I know. I know about the five year leasing period
but law aside, we're working with people.
There's a basic business ethic.
You should know better that it's way below the market price.
That's true but the previous owner...
The building owner has to make a living, too! This is too low!
If the rent doesn't become realistic, there is only one option.
Leave my building.
Excuse me?
Webtoon? Bo Ah?
- Really?- Wow.
Daebak. I thought Bo Ah would struggle for fifteen days at least.
Plus, she'll go back to drawing webtoon?
That's why.
I was really worried when I saw Bo Ah's dad.
That's really good.
I just talked to her. She seems to be holding up well.
I don't think we need to worry about her.
But then what happens to Bo Ah's dad?
Did he take off again?
I think he's at Bo Ah's grandpa's house.
Oh, really? Then will he live there from now on?
Not sure. But that shouldn't be the case, right?
My grandpa told me,
that he's not the type to stay in one place ever since he was young.
I heard something like he was in prison.
So I expected him to be someone scary.
Right?
I've also heard that he cons people and moves around.
But he seems like a gentleman. He has manners, too.
People talk about others so easily.
Since Bo Ah can't come let's just order and eat.
What should we eat?
Oh, I packed my lunch.
You just order yours.
Sacked lunch?
Why a sacked lunch?
Did you sack it yourself?
Why did you only sack yours?
I didn't sack it.
The Chef drops it off on his way to work..
William?
His name is Andrew. Andrew Kang!
What are you talking about? His name is William.
No, it's not!
So it doesn't matter if it's William or Andrew.
Why is he packing you lunch?
Hello.
What is this?
It's your lunch. I packed mine and had some leftover.
You can eat it or throw it away.
Thank you.
The paste you made me before was really good.
The herb medicine doctor kept asking me to cook.
So I had to make it and bring it.
I failed adjusting the portion.
I see. That's what happened.
I'm so lucky.
That's strange.
What is strange?
Yeah. It's just this time.
That's understandable.
No, it's not just once.
Has it been about a week?
- Everyday for a week?- Yeah.
The food tastes awesome but he has hard time adjusting the portions.
I'm benefitting.
That's really strange.
Why are you like that? Hey,
I helped him to find a house and to decorate.
He's appreciative that's why.
Think hard.
Isn't William interested in you?
What?
You act so smart all the time
but you're so ignorant in dating.
Right. You're such a pushover in dating.
A pushover?
It's not that!
A pushover, pushover, pushover...
I'm not a pushover.
Refreshing Bath: Barun Chicken
What's going on with this negative vibe in the restaurant?
Bo Ah
Did something happen to you today?
What? What kind of nonsense is that?
My dad came and said stuff?
Will we really be evicted?
No, you won't.
My grandpa gave me this building so
my dad has no rights.
So you don't need to worry at all no matter what my dad says.
But Bo Ah...
You already knew about it.
Why did you take that garbage?
I said that to your dad, too.
He said no matter what's written on the will,
he still has rights to receive an inheritance.
What?
I looked into it, too. But what your dad said is right.
Then the will written by Grandpa is not effective?
No, that's not true.
Because of that Bo Ah has the right to receive half of inheritance.
What is that mean?
By law, your dad has all the right to receive full inheritance.
But because your grandpa passed it on to you
you gained the rights to receive.
Why is it so complicated?
Simply put, no matter what's on the will
your dad has the right to take half of it,
according to the law.
Then, that means...
This building belongs to
you and your dad.
Half each.
Then what happens?
Can my dad evict my Boss?
Don't worry about that. It won't happen.
I told you that you have an equal right, too.
You and your father can't do anything by yourselves.
No matter what, your consent is needed.
Do you understand?
If you get you head on straight,
the chicken shop and this building Grandfather left you,
can be protected.
I keep showing you things that you shouldn't see.
Bo Ah.
Even though it was temporary, I was happy Dad came.
I thought that maybe I won't be alone anymore.
But Dad just came to the funeral to look for money.
Of course, he did.
He would've come sooner if it's not like that.
When our family needed Dad.
What am I doing here like an idiot?
Wine bar owner.
- Boss! What's up? Why are you calling? - Yes, PD Moon,
Stop by the store if you're not busy today.
Huh?
Your boyfriend's been waiting here for a while.
Boyfriend?
That's right.
You must've had a fight but he looks so sad all alone.
If it's not a big deal, just forgive him.
- He's not my boyfriend. - What?
He's not?
That's right.
But Boss, is he just drinking on an empty stomach again?
I didn't order this.
You've been drinking on an empty stomach for a while now.
It's on the house.
Yes, hello?
It's me.
Huh? Who...
Oh! It's Bo Ah!
I was planning on meeting with you.
When is a good time?
I actually have something to say.
I'll just say it and hang up.
I heard you stopped by the store today and demanded more rent or to get out.
I will handle these kinds of things.
You're still young.
Rent needs to be raised so the building sells for the right price.
- That's good for you too. - No.
I do not agree to raise the chicken store's rent
and I have no intention of forcing them out.
Bo Ah.
I don't know what you're thinking but
I'm not going to let you walk all over me.
Grandpa didn't raise me like that.
I'm not sure what that store owner said to you but we're family.
You need to trust me and not him!
People that were there for me when I needed them are family.
Not people that never cared for their family like you.
Bo Ah.
I'm going to protect the chicken shop and this building Grandpa left me
so don't think of doing any funny business.
I'm hanging up now.
Bo Ah! Bo Ah!
Open the door!
Open the door! Bo Ah!
Min Ah, what's going on?
Bo Ah...
Something bad has happened.
Huh? What is it?
There's no need to say much, Folks.
What happened to the neighboring area that was recently unveiled?
It's gotten huge improvements! But what about our area?
How long do we have to live in shambles for?
Through all of Seoul's midpoint,
where can you find an area as worn down as ours?
Don't you agree?
Right? Ah,
This is a residential complex apartment.
Our area can become a residential complex apartment like this one. This is a shopping mall.
We can have this large shopping mall right at the front.
What will that do?
At the very least, double.
At least doubling the property value
of the ground you're sitting on.
Why are you not doing this?
There is no reason to not do this.
Isn't that right?
Right, Elder?
What are you saying?
You said Dad can't do anything to the house since I own half.
You said he can't do anything without my consent.
This is apart from that.
If the whole neighborhood wants it, it won't matter if you don't.
What will happen then?
They could demolish the entire area and build an apartment.
Then what happens to our house? And the chicken shop?
Everything will be gone.
Without a trace.

The Best Chicken
Wait and see.
I'm protecting what's precious to me.
You see, a real adult breaks out of their comfort zone.
What if I don't do anything well?
You're doing well right now.
That's it! A good place to eat will open in quiet neighborhoods.
And the commercial value jumps up!
Let's do that, on this street
