"Brought to you by WITH S2 Written In The Heavens Subbing Squad" "[Episode 1]" "I've fought in countless wars." "But... the real war, on which I stake my life, may be starting now." "[Chun Ji In]" "[Today's Table]" "[" " Millet Rice] [" " Young Radish Leaf Kimchi]" "[" " Thick Bean Paste] [" " Light Broth]" "[" " Grilled Cobina] [" " Wild Greens]" "[We fed the baby rice porridge." "The baby ate well." "Milk money saved.]" "Welcome." "The new batch of young radish leaf kimchi has matured nicely." "If you put radish kimchi in millet rice and mix in thick bean paste..." "It's so tasty!" "Aigoo, I'm a crazy son of a bitch." "I need one side salad, one tomato soup." "Yes, Chef!" "This is a cracker." "Roast it again." "And, toss that out." "Okay." "The vegetables are all dying." "Speed!" "Speed." "The lifeblood of a fist is speed." "Quick, agile and accurate..." "Isn't that so, Dong Su?" "That's right, Hyungnim." "And promises are meant to be kept." "I'm sorry." "My situation is so bad." "But, looking at this place, things don't seem to be that bad." "You probably saw the man I met earlier." "I had no choice but to meet with him here because of business." "This doesn't even taste good." "Please give me an extension this one time." "The fact that you were allowed this much time was purely because of Ho Tae hyungnim." "And, now what?" " Asking for an extension?" " This really doesn't taste good." "Please." "I'll give you 2 days." "That's all I can do." "2 days isn't enough." "I told you in the beginning, didn't I?" "That if you use the money, you'd pay a big price, and that you should reconsider." "Mr. Customer." "Is there some problem with your salad?" "It doesn't taste good." "If you don't like it, would you like to switch..." "May I ask what you don't like about it?" "If you have the time to spend money at a place like this, then are you doing everything you can to earn money?" " You've got a family to support." " Guest." "Leave this table to me, and go to the VIP..." "I'm in charge of salads." " If there's a problem, please let me know." " You have 2 days." "Mr. Customer!" "I'd like it if you would tell me the reason you didn't like the salad." "What reason?" "It didn't taste good." "If you could articulate the reason" "I think that we could make you a salad that would satisfy you next time." "There won't be a next time." "Both your taste in food and your manner of speech come up short, I see, Mr. Customer." " Chef." " Of course..." "The casual form of speech can be acceptable, but you and I aren't close or anything." "So that sort of speech isn't really right, is it, Guest?" "It's okay with me." "Well, it's not okay with me, see?" "Of course, the customer is king, but the food is a chef's pride, so if it's insulted so recklessly, my eyes might not be able to see a king." "Then, I guess you need to go see an optometrist." "Excuse me!" "I'm sorry." "We won't charge you for the salad." " Just a second." " Hyungnim." "It's Little Hyungnim." "Yes." "All right!" "Ay." "What did I tell you?" "If Little Hyungnim knew..." "Get up." " Excuse me?" " Hyungnim wants to see you." "Ah!" "If I go there, I'm dead." "I'll die!" "Just tell him what you told me." "You won't die." "Please, just give me 2 more days." "Let's go and talk." "What are you doing?" "!" "He says he doesn't want to go!" "Please mind your own business." "He says he doesn't want to go, so why are you doing this?" "Are you guys gangsters?" " Who?" " No." "I'll call the police." "Father, I have an urgent matter to deal with right now." " Okay?" " Let's go." "Just a second." "What?" "Home, so suddenly?" "Father, I'll call you right back!" "Just give me 2 more days, okay?" " Look here!" "Hey, stop!" " If you give me just 2 more days..." "Hey, punk!" "Punk?" "Why, I ought to..." "Did you just call me punk?" "You shut up." "I don't know what this is about, but just leave quietly." "Otherwise, I really will call the police." "Then, go ahead." "Fine." "Fine." "You've messed with the wrong person!" "Excuse me." "It's all right." "Excuse me?" "I can't go to the police station right now." "But thank you anyway." "Selling a few excessively sweet bunch of weeds for several tens of thousands of won... does a chef's pride allow for that?" "I don't know what you sprinkled on it, but in the mouth, it's just sugar." "The salad dressing that was ordered was honey-based so of course, there's a strong sweet flavor." "Isn't it your job to control that?" "A little bit of vinegar would have probably done the trick." "What sort of chef can't even balance the flavor right?" "I see your taste buds are extremely critical, but the dressing you find so sweet is a huge hit with other customers." "You said you'd fix it if you knew the reason, but I guess that was a load of crap." "My motto is not to concern myself with anyone else's business, but it's sweet." "But, if it's such a huge hit, then go ahead and continue with cloying sweetness." "What?" "!" "Wait!" "Wait!" "Geez!" "Now what?" "!" "What, what?" "I've memorized your license plate." "If some situation happens from this and goes on the news," "I'm going to report it." "So keep that in mind!" "Oh, geez!" "A tough cookie..." "Tough." "What are you doing?" "Yes, Hyungnim." "I'm going, Hyungnim." "He couldn't possibly be killed, could he?" "That guy seemed rude, but he didn't seem like a killer." "Vinegar?" "With these crisis situations, it's really hard for a commoner like myself to make a living." "Please give me 2 days." "Just 2 days..." "Life gives no guarantees that one won't die tomorrow." "And who knows whether or not you'll die today?" "Just this once, consider my circumstances." "Frankly, as it is, the interest is more than the principle now." "Which is why you should have paid it back a long time ago." "I'm very softhearted." "I really don't like violence." "Sign it." "For 50 million won, you're going to take a 500 million won apartment?" "I can't!" "I can't!" "What the he**?" "What gives you the nerve to pull this crap, Ho Tae?" "Big Hyungnim isn't even here to back you." "You were going to say, "this is bad form," right?" ""A thug has to have a sense of reason too." That's what you were going to say, right?" "Right?" "Right?" "Hey, why are you even a mobster anyway?" "Why didn't you become a cop instead?" "Or a minister..." "Or a priest..." "Or a monk..." "There are lots of choices." "I was told to make the most of my special talents." "By who?" "The director of the orphanage." "Listen to this punk." "Get his signature." "Let's go eat." "Do you want to get his signature or do you want to die?" "Let's go and eat." "You son of a bitch." "Geez!" "There is definitely something different about the ones with no origins." "They have no sense of courtesy." "Or sense of politics..." "Or professionalism..." "You punk..." "Lower those eyes!" "Hyungnim!" "What are you doing, you punks?" "!" "[Vinegar]" "It is so simple." "How could I have not known till now?" "Congratulations." "For what?" "Rumors are flying that Head Chef is going to take you with him to the new restaurant that's opening." "Rumors are just rumors." "Everyone knows that Head Chef favors you." "That's why the Sous Chef is so jealous." "Because you'll take that spot." "Yes, Father." "I do have those days off, but it's the first consecutive 3 days I've had off all year, so I have a lot to do." "Coming up with a new menu and..." "No matter what?" "Is something wrong at home?" "He says he's going to find you... and bury you." "There's a huge fuss, you wouldn't believe." "Big Hyungnim is still in the hospital." "There's no way." "Just think of it as being magnanimous this one time, and kneel and apologize." "What, you punk?" "Well, what I'm saying is..." "If you don't do something like that at least, the situation..." "Just eat." "The stew is getting cold." "If I haven't done anything wrong," "I don't kneel, not even to Big Hyungnim, not even to God." "Yes, Hyungnim." "Ah, salty." "It's salty?" "So, this time, it's salty, Hyungnim?" "Hyungnim!" "Hyungnim, please just hold back." "Ah, sit." "I'll take care of it." "Stay seated, all right?" "Auntie." "Excuse me, Auntie!" "Next, the special edition you've been waiting for." "It's time for Finding Hidden Restaurants." "In a Hanok built over 100 years ago, a grandfather, a father, and an eldest daughter;" "3 generations, in the spirit of feeding a warm meal to hungry men;" "is said to be operating a restaurant with well-crafted kimchi." "Could this be that house?" "Yes." "Welcome." "[Lee Woo Joo (30 years old)] Yes, it is." "It's true." "Like stepping into a time machine, their own enduring kimchi flavor that has captured the taste buds of not only the older generations but also the young health conscious!" "This is the place!" "In this place named after 3, Chun Ji In*, (*Heaven, Earth, and Man) you can taste cuisine in traditional Korean courses," "But the menu that captures the customers and makes them return is a little different." "Namely, "Today's Table."" "It's a menu designated daily at the owner's whim, consisting of freshly picked and gathered ingredients of the day." "There's no such thing as an order." "All customers get what's on "Today's Table"!" "[Today's Table..." "All night, the baby slept well.]" "Normally, at a table, the principal dish is meat, but this place is different." "The principal dish is kimchi." "With the featured daily kimchi is a well-suited specialty rice." "And of course soup is a standard, as well as organic vegetables from the garden!" "Wow, it's really strange to see it on TV." "It's strange for you too, isn't it?" "I'm coming on." "From the point of view of a doctor of oriental medicine, the meal is almost like an herbal restorative tonic." "[Han Pyung Man (43) Oriental Medicine Dr.]" "More than anything, the taste of the kimchi is pure art." "Is my face that big?" "You look like a cow thief." "Grandfather, is it that delicious?" "Do you doubt everything you hear?" "[Seol Guk Hwan (75)]" "I never eat a warm meal and lie about it." "Chun Ji In Kimchi is awesome." "What the heck, awesome?" "Oy, awesome, awesome!" "It's cute, Grandfather." "And the prices are also unbelievably low!" "Father, it's on." "Come quick." "...offering a different kimchi everyday." "The cabbage kimchi is a basic, of course." "The kimchi served so far follow the season and time radish kimchi, spicy dressed spinach kimchi, stuffed cucumber, seafood wrap, radish scales, mixed radish cabbage and pomegranate kimchi," "Oh, I'm out of breath." "What else was there?" "Apple kimchi, mustard leaf kimchi, um, and..." "Aigoo, how frustrating." "It's killing me." "I know, right?" "How can you pickle those different types of kimchi?" "What's the secret?" "Just diligently..." "Yes, but diligently how?" "Just so customers will say, "Ah, it's tasty!"" "But, my father is the one who makes the kimchi." "What's the secret, Boss?" "It's Dad's birthday?" "I totally forgot." "He must be getting old, telling me to come no matter what on his birthday." "Young radish leaf kimchi?" "That would be so good with steamed sweet potatoes!" "All right." "I'll see you tomorrow." "Okay." "Ahh..." "I'm hungry." "[Chun Ji In]" "[Chun Ji In]" "[We fed the baby rice porridge." "The baby ate well." "Milk money saved.]" "Welcome." "The new batch of young radish leaf kimchi matured nicely." "If you put radish kimchi in millet rice and mix in thick bean paste." "It's so tasty!" "Aigoo, I'm a crazy son of a bitch." "Crazy?" "Who?" "That's too bad." "You look completely normal from the outside." "Yeah." "Big Hyungnim?" "[Thank you." "Come again!" "]" "Because it seems she can't eat things that are too spicy." "I'll do it, Uncle." "Wow, it's paprika kimchi." "It looks tasty." "You are hungry, aren't you?" "But, it's past 2:00." "You have to eat your meals on time to grow taller." "Kimchi for the little one..." "This isn't spicy at all." "Where's your mom?" "Did I or didn't I tell you?" "!" "Enjoy." "What's the matter?" "Did I or didn't I tell you that was my reserved spot?" "I forgot." "You forgot?" "How could you forget?" "I'm sorry." "Can't you sit somewhere else just for today?" "No!" "Ah, eat with me." "I'll buy." " What am I, a bum?" " Okay, okay." "One more here." "Aigoo, where did your mother go, leaving such a beautiful baby?" "Where the heck is your wife?" "In Canada." "Why send her there?" "Is she going to be successful studying there when she couldn't here?" "Aigoo." "If you're wife has an affair, won't you be happy then?" "When is our Kang San coming?" "[Seo Soon Im" " I'm grateful for nature that filled my table.]" "[I was happy because I had family to enjoy the table set by nature.]" "Ahh, that kid..." "You..." "Big Hyungnim is waiting." "Let's go pleasantly," "Hyungnim." "When did Little Hyungnim become Big Hyungnim?" "Just a second!" "That smell is too strong." "There's no smell." "Get rid of him." "You, there!" "Are you all right?" "Snap out of it!" "Can you stand up?" "I swear, they caused such a ruckus." "Are you awake and alert?" "Yes?" "What happened?" "It seems you were beaten by a bunch of bums." "Vinegar?" "Gangster?" "I'll call an ambulance." "You can't." "Look here." "Look here!" "Are you all right?" "Huh?" "Look here." "Look here!" "I'm hungry." "I'm hungry." "What is this?" "Ow!" "Oh, my head!" "Oh, that punk Hyun Soo..." "Where am I?" "There's no way..." "What's going on?" "Geez, you scared me!" "Huh?" "The chef?" "What are you doing here?" "Looking at your state, I guess you're all right." "Can you stand up?" "The one who brought me here is that side*?" "(*referring to people they don't know well.)" "Which side?" "Right side?" "Left side?" "Your speech is short." "If it isn't the pot calling the kettle black." "But why are you here?" "Because it's our house." "This is your house?" "How many fingers do I have up?" "Do you think I'm an idiot?" "It's a matter of course that I'm here." "The thing that's strange is you being here." " It's a small world." " As wide as your radius of activity." "But, if a person's hurt, wouldn't taking him to the hospital be the proper thing to do?" "An adolescent in a fist fight is a hot-blooded youth." "For you, it's a crime." "What are you talking about?" "The probability we'd end up at the police after going to the hospital was 98 percent of the reason and 2 percent was because I was moved." "Moved?" "I called the man you dragged away." "He said that you saved him." "I was moved." "I could feel your will to turn over a new leaf, is about 2 percent." "He's awake." "Are you all right?" "You're hungry, aren't you?" "Let's eat." "Let's eat." "I came in too late last night to say hello." "Don't be mad." "It was because it was late." "She hasn't eaten anything since last night." "Even if you're mad, let's feed them first, Father." "Father." "About last time when I said I'd never come home again, I'm sorry." "She said she's sorry, Father." "Kang San say's she's sorry." "Be quiet." "I was drunk and blathering." "She said she was blathering." "She didn't mean it." "She was drunk and blathering." " Be quiet." " Be quiet." "Are your wounds okay?" "Yes, they're all right." "Please eat first." "All right, let's eat." "Yes, Father." "Let's eat, Kang San." "Please eat." "Ah, that's all right." "To leave this house, you have to eat." "We never let anyone who hasn't eaten leave." "You're that man, right?" "That crazy man from yesterday..." "Excuse me?" "No, I don't mean that you're really crazy." "Please go eat." "We made kimchi bean sprout soup." "Hurry." " Excuse me, excuse me..." " Hurry up." "Excuse me..." "Please sit." "I really think I ought to just..." "There's no need to feel uncomfortable." "What about the baby?" "The baby had rice porridge and just fell asleep." "Was there any contact from the mother?" "No." "I'm sure she's worried." "Now then, let's eat." "Please eat." "Ah, yes." "Thank you!" "Ah, right." "Father." "None for me." "Right, he never drinks when he works." "Makgeolli* is perfect with kimchi." "(*unfiltered rice wine)" "Don't squeeze the green tea too tightly." "Otherwise, when you make rice with it, it will be tough." "If we're going to braise lotus root, we should get some spring water ready, right?" "We should." "Why spring water?" "Because adding a little spring water will make the color nicer and the taste better than soy sauce alone." "How do you know that?" "Mom said that before." "Are you attending a memorial service?" "Your soup will get cold." "Please eat." "Thank you." "Aigoo, you eat well and vigorously." "It's good and not spicy, right?" "If the ingredients are the same, then kimchi would taste the same." "You could probably fit in there, right?" "It couldn't be." "It's just a coincidence." "Kimchi pots are all the same." "It's too similar." "Hey, youngster..." "What are you doing here?" "I was just..." "It's suspicious." "Who are you?" "Oriental Medicine Doctor." "I got summoned by Kang San last night and treated you." "You don't remember?" "I told her to take you to a hospital, but she stubbornly refused, so I inserted some needles and burned some moxa." "Luckily, your bones seemed all right." "Ah, I see." " How much does the treatment cost?" " What's..." "What's the reason you've come to this house?" "Excuse me?" "Do you plan to dig up some secret?" "What do you mean secret?" "My lips are sealed." "I was a clam in my previous life." "What are your true colors?" "Do you know something about me?" "Hey!" "Hey!" "What are you doing?" "!" "Judging from various details of the circumstances, you're not a common person." "Are you a spy from that food company?" "After you approach the family as if by accident, you dig up the restaurant's week points?" "Something like that?" "I have no idea what you are talking about." "What are you, a detective?" "No." "Well, I'm not a spy either." "And what right do you have to poke needles and burn crap on someone's body without permission?" "Eh?" "!" "Get out of my house now!" "Don't get angry." "It's not like I don't know you." "I'm someone who was born and raised in this neighborhood, too." "What I said just now was a slip of the tongue." "I just wanted to say that Woo Joo is extremely naive, but it came out wrong." "What I'm saying is that Kang San is a western Chef anyway, and wouldn't it be a little bit difficult for Woo Joo to take over after you..." "Hey!" "You're making a big mistake." "Let's go." "Let's get out of here." "Why are you insisting on passing up this great opportunity?" "Your restaurant debt is one thing, but you also have to marry off Woo Joo and Kang San, and if you want to live in some comfort now, Ahjussi..." "He said get out." "C'mon, let's go." "Why bring up something like that so early in the morning?" "Nice..." "When this area gets developed, we're all going to have to leave anyway." "Kang San, try and persuade your father." "You're clever." "We're not selling our restaurant." "When Hanshik Town comes in, you can reopen there." "And they said they'll meet any of your terms." "They'll give you as much money as you want..." " This isn't a matter of money." " As much as we want?" "Yeah, they said they'd give you as much as you want." "Then, ask for 10 billion." "Ah, no, no, no..." "If we're going to pay off the restaurant debt, get married, and have Father live comfortably, it will have to be 20." "20... stop messing around." "You said as much as we want!" "At a minimum, 20 billion." "Let them know, we won't accept any less." "20 billion?" "She's nuts, totally nuts." "Are you leaving?" "I've troubled you enough." "You're leaving dressed like that?" "Excuse me?" "Your clothes are probably not dry yet." "Excuse me." "[The baby had a slight fever last night." "He's now okay." "It's just a light cold. ]" "Do you think someone who has abandoned their child would come back because you write things like this?" "We just want to reassure the baby's mother." "Reassure?" "Reassure someone who has thrown away their own child?" "Are people like that even people?" "They're neither parents nor people!" "What do you need to reassure people like that for?" "!" "Eh?" "Was that baby born because he wanted to be born?" "If they made the choice to have a baby, they should take care of it!" "Is a baby trash?" "!" "Why toss it away?" "!" "Of course, there must have been some reason." "But whatever the reason, parents who abandon their child cannot be understood nor get our understanding!" "Isn't that so?" "!" "Can you easily answer as to why you live the way you do?" "I don't know what kind of person you are or what your life has been like." "So, I don't judge you this way or that, because I can't." "However, I know those who are scarred and those who leave scars hurt the same." "It could be that those who leave the scars hurt more, because guilt is torturous." "Why don't you stay another day?" "From what the doctor says, you need more needles and moxa." "Feeling uneasy isn't Gi Ho Tae's style." "Because Korean food is healthy, I believe the time for eating anything is past." "Of course it is important to develop new Korean cuisine palatable for foreigners, but more than anything, we need to provide opportunities for them to see with their own eyes and taste directly the excellence of Korean cuisine." "We have to plant the awareness of the high quality of Korean cuisine." "I believe it's time to shed the old way of thinking and come up with more active and refined ways of promoting Korean cuisine." "The establishment of Hanshik Town, [Jung Hyun Sook] which aims to plant a favorable impression on foreign visitors, will be an important beginning of the new awareness of Korean cuisine." "Don't you trust me?" "What's that supposed to mean, suddenly?" "Well, I'm the President in title, but it seems you're taking on so much of the effort on your own." "Leave the acquisition of the land for Hanshik Town to me." "The people who are holding out, their objective is solely money." "There's no need for you to deal with those cheap, shallow people who are nothing more than bums." "From that person's point of view, I might be the one who seems cheap and shallow." "Don't interfere." "It's something I have to do." "Ahhh!" "Please do it gently!" "Do you even have a license to practice?" "Did you get a license to fight before you got into a fight?" "You don't have a license?" "I think I'll go and have a drink of makgeolli with Kang San." "Are all the people in this house always like this?" "Like what?" "Bringing in strangers and feeding them, giving them acupuncture..." "Don't ask, don't calculate, that's the way these people live." "They feed you, give you a place to sleep, anyone can come or go as they please." "Why don't I see the mother in this house?" "She passed away." "It's been about 10 years, maybe." "She was such a good person." "It goes down so smooth." "The baby's mom will come back, don't you think?" "I'm sure she had some circumstances that made her leave the baby at the restaurant." "There's no circumstance that justifies throwing away your child." "She could have contracted a fatal disease or she could have left the baby at the restaurant for a moment and got into an accident, getting amnesia." "That's why you're always getting fooled by bad men." "What bad men?" "The guy who approached you pretending to be a CPA, borrowed a million won and bolted." "How did you know about that?" "You called me and told me about it." "Did I?" "But, he didn't bolt." "He said he'd pay it back no matter what." "Cons always say that." "He said he suddenly needed money because his friend was sick." "It's because he suddenly needed money that his friend was "sick."" "Why?" "Because he's a con artist." "But really, even if you're always falling for stuff like that, why in the world did Father provide the money when your pattern of getting fooled is always the same?" "Didn't I hear the restaurant is in trouble and that there's debt?" "It's not being a good person to trust people unconditionally." "That's why even the realtor ahjussi looks down on you." "From now on, treat every man who approaches you as a con, no matter what." "Think like that and be on guard." "Don't just be taken in like a dummy." "Because I'm dim-witted?" "Because there's probably no man who would like a dim-witted woman like me, so they would be cons, no matter what?" "That's not what I meant!" "I know I'm a dummy." "I graduated elementary school in 7 years, and I couldn't go to college like you did because I was no good at studying." "I never called you a dummy." "You did just now." "And you did that time before, and the time before that." "That's..." "I didn't mean that you're really a dummy..." "Ah, geez." "Why are you being like this, really?" "Drink some makgeolli." "It's okay that the realtor looks down on me." "But it makes me really sad that you look down on me." "When did I look down on you?" "You did just now." "I didn't." "You did." "I didn't!" "You did just now, just now!" "I know I'm just a baggage to you and Father." "The restaurant's having problems and all I do is give out money." "Please stop overreacting." "Why do you come to conclusions without hearing what others have to say, thinking what you want?" "What I'm saying is, I don't like how you get taken in all the time, and that I can't understand Father giving you money when he knows that." "Anyhow, don't misunderstand." "Your tuition money was money Father worked hard to earn at the restaurant." "And, why do you bring that up right now?" "I'm saying that it's thanks to Father that you can live doing the work you want." "Then, you live, doing the work you want too!" "I like staying with the restaurant." "Then, what's the problem?" "There's no reason to throw the tuition matter in my face, is there?" "I'm saying you need to know that things are hard for Father." "The restaurant has a lot of debt..." "Then, I guess selling it would solve the problem!" "They said they'd pay what we asked!" "Then, what about our guests?" "What about Father?" "And me?" "There are plenty of other restaurants, you can do whatever you want, and Father can live the high life, playing golf." "You can just come back to Chun Ji In." "You need to carry on the Chun Ji In tradition!" "There's no need for things like tradition these days." "As long as we're talking about it, let's close the restaurant, and..." "Hey, you two..." "Your voices are too loud." "Why do you have to talk so callously?" "You know what this restaurant means to us!" "Okay, okay." "I was wrong." "I was wrong, so don't cry." "Our mother, Grandfather, Grandmother, they'd all be so sad if they heard your words!" "Let's go inside, Unni." "I'm sorry." "I was wrong." "Let's go in, let's go in." "Has the time come now?" "What am I doing here?" "Right." "Let's ask him outright, man to man." "[Woo Joo, Kang San]" "Is the boss here?" "What is this?" "What is this?" ""Don't look for me."" ""There's something I absolutely must do."" ""Do whatever you want with the restaurant."" "Fa..." "Father?" "What does this mean, Uncle?" "I suppose it means exactly what it says in the letter." "Hey, it's a joke, right?" "Where's Father?" "He left that in the kitchen and left." "What do you mean "left"?" "Where did he go?" "I don't know either." "Oh no, what do we do?" "What do you think you're doing?" "!" "What a really strange man." "What a really strange man!" "They're gone, they're gone!" "Kang San, they're gone!" "What's gone?" "Father's knapsack is gone and the picture of him and Mom is gone, too!" "I think Father has ran away!" "Adolescents are runaways." "If Father's gone, that's a missing person." "But today's his birthday." "He didn't even have breakfast." "What does he mean don't look for him?" "Does he think he's in some drama?" "The picture he took with us is still there." "I think he has abandoned us." "Is abandonment a hobby for this Ahjussi?" "Is there really nothing you can think of?" "What it is he has to do, why he's doing this all of a sudden, you must know something!" "Where are you going?" "I need to prepare for the lunch guests." "Is that really the issue right now?" "How can we, when Father's not here?" "He must have heard us fighting last night." "Oh, yeah!" "The boss prepared the radishes and the carrots before he left." "Excuse me?" "Forget about it, forget it!" "What did I expect at this point?" "[..." "The baby mumbles a lot." "What could he be wanting to say?" "]" "Why don't you look after your own family?" "Just give me the cup-ramen." "Why?" "Do you not have enough money?" "Can I get you something?" "Give me a lighter." "Please let me know if you need anything else." "Hey, is it true that Lee Gi Chan ran away?" "You've come?" "Could he have been kidnapped?" " How much longer for the dressed greens?" " Just a second, Grandfather." " Even if the Earth were to break in half," " Please wait a moment." " He's not one to leave Chun Ji In!" " Greens dressed ahead of time lose their taste, so we have to make it when ordered." " Be quiet." " Welcome!" "But, they said he even wrote a letter before he left." "What?" "Where did he go?" "No one knows." "It's a total mystery we have on our hands." "2 orders of Today's Table!" "Here." "Enjoy." "Hyungnim!" "Ah, Hyungnim!" "If you have some final words, say them now!" "I'm sorry, Hyungnim!" "I'm really sorry!" "But, I got the crap beaten out of me too!" "I had to survive!" "I thought to myself, "This is how people find themselves dead."" "Really!" "They said they'd glue my hands together if I didn't do what they said!" "They shook my head and threatened to pull out all my hair." "They said they'd use water torture and really brought water!" "They locked me in a cabinet too!" "I thought they would just bury me like that!" "They starved me too." "Ah, Hyungnim!" "Hyungnim!" "I'm sorry, Hyungnim!" "Ah!" "Thank you, Hyungnim!" "You couldn't be a freedom fighter, since you're so weak when tortured." "I won't ever betray you again, Hyungnim." "I swear." "Guys that betray you once will end up doing it again." "I really won't, Hyungnim!" "But, where are we going?" "To my apartment." "You can't." "Why can't I go to my own home?" "Dae Shik hyungnim has already taken it over." "And he has let a bunch of the boys loose." "Hyungnim." "They're all wild-eyed, wanting to catch you." "Keep yourself hidden for the time being." "Have I done anything wrong?" "Why should I go into hiding?" "Just think of it as becoming independent." "The situation isn't good right now." "One wrong move, and Big Hyungnim may be in danger as well." "What are you talking about?" "You know that Dae Shik hyungnim is capable of betraying Big Hyungnim at anytime." "If you get caught and end up with your hands tied, even when Big Hyungnim wakes up, he won't be able to do anything." "How is Big Hyungnim's condition?" "It's the same, Hyungnim." "Don't even think of going to the hospital." "He's got the boys spread out all over." "Hyungnim." "Ah, Hyungnim!" "Dae Shik hyungnim has already canceled all your cards." "Are you hungry, Hyungnim?" "Ah, you must be hungry." "Let's go inside." "On a day like today, we should have changed the menu!" "Seriously, bamboo tub rice and fresh dressed greens?" "We have to make the rice dishes one at a time, and dress the greens when ordered!" "It's the menu Father set." "How could we change it?" "What are you going to do from here on in?" "We don't know when Father's coming back." "It will be hard to go on like this." "And what are we going to do about the guests who have dinner reservations?" "That's right." "Father always took care of the guests with reservations himself." "I'll have to try." "You can't do it alone." "I have to go to work tomorrow, too." "We can't do this without you!" "I called your restaurant earlier." "I told them you couldn't come in starting tomorrow." "What?" "!" "Yes, Chef." "This is Kang San." "That's not so." "I am coming in to work tomorrow." "I am." "What do you mean?" "A junior of mine who was studying in France coincidentally just came, so I let her know." " So, focus on your Father's restaurant." " But, how could...?" "I'm kind of busy." "I'll come right over." "Since I have to do the work of executive chef as well, it's a bit chaotic." " You haven't left..." " I don't have time to counsel you on your personal issues." "Then, I'll see you when I come in to work tomorrow." "How the he** can a person be like that?" "!" "Why?" "What did he say?" "Do you have any thoughts in that head?" "What right do you have to make a call like that?" "!" "That's what mom said." "That you're a natural born Korean Chef." " Don't you remember?" " I don't!" "You have to be here." "How can I do this alone without Father here?" "I absolutely can't." "Then the restaurant is on temporary hiatus while Father is gone." "That's even more impossible." "There's the guests plus the bank interest that has to be paid immediately." "How much was the loan exactly?" "!" "I don't know that." "Anyhow, Dad will be back shortly." "He's the man who opens the restaurant even on the anniversary of Mom's death." "Just think of it as a break till he comes back." "We couldn't possibly go bankrupt before then." "We could go bankrupt." "Excuse me?" "What do you mean bankrupt?" "!" "Uncle!" "Eun Bi didn't come today either." "Who's Eun Bi?" "It's a child who comes to eat at this time every day, but she hasn't come for the last couple of days." "I wonder if she's sick." "That would be bad." "Aigoo." "I really just can't understand." "What in the world is he thinking?" "Kang San!" "Kang San." "Have a talk with me." "Aigoo." "Hey, if you miss out on an opportunity like this," "You'll regret it forever." "I'm telling you they'll meet all your terms." "Let's sell the restaurant." "Including the main house, of course." "Since that's their condition..." "Right now, that's the best we can do." "Since the house as well as the restaurant is tied up as collateral on that loan." " The house, too?" " The house, too." "Even if we are full of guests like today, we may barely make the interest payments." "How did it get to that state?" "You're asking me?" "We only use the best ingredients, but our prices have remained the same for 7 years." "On top of that, he regularly gives to the orphanages and nursing homes." "Anyhow, we need to sell it." "There's no other way." "Still, we can't sell it." "If Father knew, he'd faint." "He said to do what we want with it." "No way." "We can't." "Absolutely not." "We can't." "We can't." "Think it over calmly." "You're just nervous because Father isn't here." "Calm down." "You're the most nervous one here." "Uncle!" "You knew, didn't you?" "How many years has our restaurant been in the red?" "If we keep going like this, we will go bankrupt." "There's no other way." "If we sell, we can at least obtain the money for a house to live in." "What are you saying right now?" "!" "Our family has lived here since Grandmother and Grandfather!" "We can't leave!" "Have you not heard a word I've said?" "If we go bankrupt before Father comes back, what are you and Father going to do?" "I don't know that sort of thing, but there's got to be a way." "If we work hard, we'll find some way!" "We have a good opportunity right now." "Han Dol Foods Korea or whoever they are said they'll give us what we want." "What use is money?" "We're not selling." "Never." "Please be realistic." "If we continue this way, how many more months do you think we'll last?" "At that point, we won't even be able to sell it for a good price." "Why do you keep going on about money?" "You've changed!" "I've just matured." "Please talk Kang San out of it, Uncle!" "It's something for you two to decide." "Do you want to sell this place, too, like Kang San?" "Uncle!" "Please talk Kang San out of it." "Are you going to just leave the radishes and the carrots that were left in the kitchen?" "How is that important right now?" "When Dad has ran away and we might be ruined..." "Do whatever, then." "Should we make radish cube kimchi?" "We were just in an earnestly desperate discussion..." "Well, that was that..." "Oh, you're here again."

"I thought you said you're a chef?" "You're not qualified to work in the kitchen." "I want to stay." " and keep working here." " You did a good thing." "I do think he's kind of dangerous." "Isn't your family's restaurant on the brink of closing?" "You can be the assistant." "I cannot obey unreasonable orders." "You did really well, Lee Kang San." "Did well, my foot!" "Chun Ji In's sale contract." "You signed it already?" " What do you mean sell it?" " What's it to you?" "You should wait at least until your father returns." "Don't interfere when you don't know anything about it!" "I'm not confident I can keep this going like Father did." "Kang San." "Back!" "The person is back!" "Father's back?"
