All language subtitles for Wok.of.Love E09

I'll steal all of Giant Hotel's customers.

DEBT AND SHADOW

I'm going to get revenge.

Are you a light or a shadow?

It's not "light,"

it's "debt." Now go!

Are you a light or a shadow?

Not "light," but "debt." Now go!

Lend me money and become my light.

Even if we do die,

how about we eat these first
before we fall?

Oh no.

It's dangerous. Get out!

Oh no!

HUNGRY FRYPAN

I'm getting wet.

Do it as if you're washing
your girlfriend's hair.

But it's a guy's hair!

Did you just call me "bro"?

I must like this guy, that guy, everyone.

I either went crazy...

It said just because things are hard,
don't only look at my feet,

but lift my head and look at the stars.

What about yours?

I threw it away.

For real? Without reading it?

Without reading it.

Weren't you curious?

I was afraid it would come true,
so I threw it away.

Because it shouldn't.

Please get out of my face.

But...

Please be patient with me.

THE PERSON BEFORE YOU
IS YOUR TRUE LOVE

I broke up with my wife.

I'm not married.

Just saying.

What?

Just saying.

Just so you know.

-Why are you telling me--
-I wanted to tell you.

HUNGRY WOK

This is my favorite song.

We're close enough to do this, right?

This is okay to do...

as the wok and the ladle.

HUNGRY WOK

Come here and eat with me.

Aren't you hungry?

I am.

Let's have some noodles too.

I'll make you noodles.

I can do that for you, right?

It's okay to do that

between us, right?

Want some more?

Here.

Why do you keep staring?

You're pretty.

You're pretty.

-Let's eat.
-Okay.

Aren't you going to say it's good?

Why do I need to?

Do you know why wonton noodle soup
got its name?

No.

It goes down smoothly like clouds.

That's why.

It really does go down smoothly
like clouds.

For it to go down smoothly like clouds,

the skin must be thin,

and the filling must melt
like cotton candy.

The soup must feel clean in your mouth.

The dumpling skin is like clouds,
the dumpling filling is like clouds,

and the soup too.
Everything is like clouds?

That's right.

It's delicious.

But...

what did you mean earlier?

Between us?

What did you mean?

Don't you have anything else to say?

You didn't seem finished.

That's all.

Then what relationship are we in
if we share noodles and earphones?

I'm the wok, and you're the ladle.

We're one.

Oh. We're one.

The best partners.

I see. Partners in solidarity at work.

Closer than we seem.

As in, it's ambiguous.

So is our relationship ambiguous?

Stop asking.

I don't like ambiguity.

Why? Ambiguity is good.

I don't like things that are ambiguous.

How is it good?

Life is ambiguous. That's how it is.

I have two more years
of life experience, okay?

What?

-Nothing.
-How is ambiguity good?

It's when you're stuck in the middle
because you can't decide

what to do.

I hate ambiguity.

I won't do it.

You talk so much.

Would you like it if I said
this soup tastes ambiguous?

Do you think people are ambiguous
because they want to be?

Do you think people are ambiguous
because they get a kick out of it?

It's because they have
their respective situations,

so they deal with it.

I can't live being ambiguous.

Good for you.

-I don't want this.
-What the heck?

Eating this made my stomach
feel ambiguous.

I said to stop.

It's bland.

There's no kimchi or pickled radish.

It doesn't taste like this or that.

How are you such a spoiled brat

just because you've lived
two years more than I did?

What ignorant fool eats wonton noodle soup
with kimchi or pickled radish?

It's up to the person eating.

Don't eat it then.

If it's up to me to cook it,
and up to you to eat it,

let's each do our own thing. Don't eat it.

Are you pissed off?

Yes, I'm pissed off.

I get pissed off easily.

Just so you know.

I don't want to know.

Do whatever you want.

It really does go down smoothly
like clouds.

It's yummy.

After you.

Pung, you asshole.

What the...

Why are you two alone

at this time of night?

I guess you had a drink, Seol-ja.

Yes, Master.

Ladle, bring some more alcohol.

But you two seem drunk already--

Quiet.

What are you two doing
when the restaurant is closed?

Hey.

I really want to know. Ms. Ladle.

How could you do that to our boss?

How could you
humiliate our boss like that?

-What?
-What do you mean?

-She humiliated him? How?
-Tell me.

Why don't you like him?

I've never seen Chil-seong like a woman,

and I don't think
he has ever even been in love.

He has never, in his entire life,
had a crush on someone.

I've never seen that before.
Especially on a married lady.

Chil-seong it the type of guy

that will never change
once he gives his heart to someone.

I'm worried to death because I'm afraid

he'll keep liking you
for a very long time.

But why did someone like him

have to like a woman who gave all of us
her wedding invitation?

Why does he like someone like that?

-Hey.
-Also, Ms. Ladle.

And rejecting him is fine,
but how could you

fart in front of the man
who says he loves you,

and throw the smell in his face
to reject him?

You have zero manners. You're disgusting.

When did I fart?

Don't try to lie!

Look at her.

We were all so shocked,

that we recorded it and carry it with us.

Listen. You didn't do it? Listen.

Hold on.

Did you hear that?

Hear that?

I can fart whenever I want after I eat.

I don't take a dump when I need to.

I set a time and go as I please.

Look. I get food stuck in my teeth
all the time,

so I get cavities all the time.

I bet I have something stuck now, too.

Look.

My gosh.

Hear just how cruel you are.

The fact that I like someone...

who's married...

You're so frustrating. What about it?

I thought I was psychotic.

That's it?

I thought I was a jerk.

You were wrong, right?

I was wrong.

You can't do it ever again, okay?

Love isn't a one way street.
It takes two people. Okay?

Okay.

You shouldn't be like that.

He said he liked you,

but you mutilated the man's heart.

It's not like that would make him
stop liking you.

It's not like that would
make the feelings go away.

-Delete that right away.
-Mommy.

Delete it! All of them.
From the others' phones too.

Do I need to hit you again?

Boss!

Wait.

Why is everyone so serious?

Is something wrong?

Hey.

I'm fine.

I'm being discharged tomorrow.

I'm fine. Hey, Pung.

Make me a bowl of noodles too.

Hospital food is disgusting.

Maeng-dal.

You should go.

Yes, Boss.

Actually, I didn't tell you this,

but Boss Chil-seong called me

up to Debt and Shadow a few days ago,

and told me to look after Ladle.

To be good to her quietly

if you scold her,

to tell him

if she seems to have a hard time,
to buy her food,

and to let her rest secretly
so she wouldn't get sick.

So I asked him, "Who are you to tell me
to do this behind Master Pung's back?"

But he liked her.

What kind of a man is Boss Chil-seong?

Is he a good man?

I'm going to run to the restroom.

A patient shouldn't be out like this.

Because I kept thinking about you.

I was curious...

and wanted to see you.

Let's go.

I'll take you back.

Sure.

The surgical wound hasn't healed yet,

so if you make big movements,
fight, and things like that,

you'll rip out your stitches and bleed.

It'll make things worse.

Okay?

Okay?

Yes. Sorry.

You too. Make sure to come back
for your outpatient appointments.

I will.

HUNGRY WOK

Did you think it over?

Do you need more time?

I gave you 24 hours.

I was being generous.

I'm sorry.

I'll give you more time.

No, you don't need to.

No.

I'll give it to you. Take it.

When I first went to borrow money,

and you lent me money, I was like,

"Wow. There's someone out there
who will actually lend me money."

I couldn't believe it.

I'll never forget it.

I couldn't get myself

to ask anyone I knew to lend me money.

I was afraid

I'd lose that person too,
if that person refused.

All the money in my family was gone,

but my pride had still remained the same.

I'll give you all of my money.

I'll give you

all of my time, too.

You shouldn't

give up your pride.

Don't be hurt.

To be honest, the money you lent me

was much more comforting

than anything anyone said.

You're a good loan shark.

I'm a good man.

You are a good man.

So find a good woman.

I'm sorry and thankful.

But that's not love.

Even when you kissed me, I was confused
about whether it was okay to do that.

Was it okay?

Stop getting stabbed,

fighting, and getting hurt.

And stop getting hurt because of me.

What's so special about me?
Stop liking me now.

I'm sorry.

Let's do it three or four times.

You have to do everything
three or four times for it to be real.

Even if we do it three or four times,

I've already said no twice.

So it's over.

Do you know me?

You don't

know all of me.

You know that I lend out money,

that I have three priors,

and that...

I get hurt if I fight.

That's all you know.

Don't do this. It's foolish.

Lift your head.

Did you commit a crime?

Lift your head.

Okay?

Okay?

Thank you.

Hey.

Why are you still up?

Because I was thinking about your noodles.

You're the one
who took off without eating it.

Hey.

Sleep over tonight.

I don't want to be alone.

No.

I don't think I'll be able to sleep,
that's why.

Really?

Me neither.

You too?

Yes.

Okay.

Two men can stay up together
all night long.

No. I really don't want that.

Whatever. Go to sleep.
You need to sleep to recover.

You are so damn dense.

I said it's because I don't think
I can sleep tonight.

Pung.

I really hate hospitals,

but I'm more afraid...

of being discharged tomorrow.

Go to sleep.

Because I kept thinking about you.

I was curious...

and wanted to see you.

USAL SHRIMP DIMSUM FESTIVAL

Okay.

Who threw Master Pung's sneakers...

USAL SHRIMP DIMSUM FESTIVAL

Usal shrimp? But that's ours.

That's ours.

USAL SHRIMP DIMSUM FESTIVAL

Where's Pung?

Seriously, those...

Oh my gosh.

What are you doing out here?

Master. Those hotel jerks
refused to give it back.

They obviously have your recipe journal.

How could they use even the same name?

Master Pung went through
hundreds of trials

and poured his blood, sweat, and tears,
but they're trying to steal it.

Hey you.

What's this recipe journal?

What's the most important thing
for your business?

The ledger.

The recipe journal for a chef
is like the ledger for you.

Delivery.

This way.

HUNGRY WOK

THE ENTIRE SHRIMP FROM HEAD TO TAIL!

USAL SHRIMP DIMSUM
SUMMER FESTIVAL

3-COURSE SHRIMP MEAL + RICE OR NOODLES
18,000 WON

USAL SHRIMP DIMSUM FESTIVAL

It's too small.

We'll proceed in our own way.

We'll draw in the customers

with a tenth of the price
and much better taste.

Shouldn't we get your journal back first?

Even if I go back and ask for it,
those rats will never give it up.

Are you really going to sell it
at a tenth of the price?

The banner is a tenth of the size.

What if we go under, Master?

USAL SHRIMP

Who runs a business to go under?

They'll use the exact same ingredients

and sell it for 180,000 won.
We'll sell it for exactly one tenth.

It's actually better this way.

We'll fight head-on on the same day.

The crux of the taste

is how well we extract the flavor

of the fresh shrimp
including the shrimp roe.

-Knife.
-Yes, Master.

When you deshell the shrimp,

keep the shape of the shrimp.

If the head falls off, it's over.

-Noodles.
-Yes, Master.

When you carve the orange peel,

make it so it can be threaded
into a needle.

So it doesn't feel like
you're chewing the peel, but the scent.

-Hey, lady.
-Yes, Master.

Peel, wash, and chop 300 onions.

Oh...

It burns.

Dong-sik.

You'll prep the shrimp.

Trim off the mustache and legs,
nice and clean.

-Yes, Master.
-A thousand in total.

A thousand.

Yes, Master.

-Ladle.
-Yes, Master.

Help me. We're going to try

making 0.1mm-thick skin
which is impossible in a wok.

Yes, Master.

To your places.

-Yes, Master.
-Yes, Master.

Make it thinner.

Thinner.

The thinner the skin,

the less it eats up
the flavor of the shrimp inside.

This is 0.2mm.

It's too thick.

It's impossible to make it 0.1mm, Master.

It must be 0.1mm no matter what.

Here. Spray water on it.

We're cooling the bottom of the wok

so the egg doesn't stick to it.

Get the egg mix.

Scoop a little and put it in lightly.

Pour it in the middle, and I'll spin it.

Okay. Good.

Good.

That's it.

Okay, this is it. Grab the ladle.

Hold the bottom up.

The base of the ladle
must meet the center of the skin.

Like a yellow umbrella.

Synchronize.

One, two, three.

Mommy.

Is this possible?

It has to be 0.1mm thick
for the shrimp to taste like shrimp,

not like eggs.

Again?

Yes, again.

We'll do it at least 100 times.

"The shrimp should taste like shrimp,
not like eggs."

That's right.

-It may be 1,000 times.
-Yes, Master.

-Get the eggs and shrimp roe.
-Yes, Master.

-I signed my divorce papers.
-So?

-What?
-I'm single too.

Why are you telling me that now?

Because it looks like we'll get busy.

-Just because we're busy?
-That's right.

We're busy, so I got anxious.

You were not going to tell me
if we didn't get busy?

No, Master.

-You're anxious?
-Yes, Master.

Why are you anxious?

We're in this ridiculous battle
with the hotel.

How could I not be anxious?

-Hold on.
-Yes, Master.

How long has it been?

-A bit?
-"A bit"?

What are you doing?
Why are you just standing there?

-Get the shrimp roe.
-Yes, Master. That's right.

Eggs.

Eggs.

Turn it like this and hold it here.

-That way.
-Yes.

When will I finish 300?

Hey, lady.

Are you keeping a secret from me?

Sorry?

Seol-ja, isn't there something
you didn't tell me?

No.

Geok-jeong,

don't you have something to tell me?

Why?

I'll forgive everything right now.

Did something good happen?

Did you get the skin thickness you wanted?

Of course not.

What do we do?

He isn't reacting at all.

I guess he doesn't care.

Where did he go?

Master?

Did he find out we're a family?

No.

What do we do?

What?

It's over.

Why are you telling me that now?

What? What are you talking about?

Why are you telling me that now?

What's with him?

I signed my divorce papers.

-What?
-I'm single too.

-How long has it been?
-A bit?

It's been a bit,

so why are you telling me now?

I win.

Why are you taking my cards?

Hey.

If there's anything I can do to help

in your fight against those hotel rats,
let me know.

I'll support you in every way.

Do you need money?

Why are you always out here? It's so hot.

Pung.

I'm on your side.

My side?

Yes. Your side.

Whatever. You always take
those gangsters' side.

You don't want me to be?

That's absurd.

What do you need?

Use me and all of my boys.

You can order around all of my boys
as much as you want.

Bro.

What?

When you were in the freezer,

why were you and Ladle sitting apart
instead of back to back or something?

She almost died of hypothermia.

I don't know.

Really?

Chin up.

Where are you going?

I feel frustrated,
so I want to go get ice cream.

Buy us some too.

No, I'm going to eat by myself.

It's hot.

It is.

It was hard for me to say.

It's hot.

-Share with me.
-No, I'm eating it alone.

Share with me.

I won't eat ice cream
with a frustrating guy.

You'll get sick. Share with me.

What's it to you?

Fine.

Shit.

This won't do.

We should have a code

so we can fool Master Pung completely.

Look.

Three gallops of a horse.

That's so noisy.

This is when someone
addresses someone incorrectly.

It's a warning to be careful.

-Okay.
-Okay.

And if we can't take it,

and want to gather
without Master Pung finding out,

it'll be six gallops.

Clip clop.

Try it.

Okay.

Great going. You don't even visit me.

Finally, if you're saying drop everything

and come help right away,
just pound quickly.

I keep hearing things,

Sae-u won't come, and I can't sleep.

USAL SHRIMP DIMSUM FESTIVAL

Seriously.

Okay.

Hey.

Isn't breaking into
someone else's kitchen stealing?

-I'm going to leave.
-Shit.

Ever since you copied the recipe journal,

you and I share the same fate.

I'm sure that asshole Pung found a way.

We have to find out what that is.

Hey. That way.

Chef Maeng. Egg mix.

Egg mix?

Eggs?

It's exactly as it says
in Pung's recipe journal.

Master Pung went through
hundreds of trials

and poured his blood, sweat, and tears
for it, but they're trying to steal it.

The recipe journal for a chef
is like the ledger for you.

HUNGRY WOK

-Chef Maeng. Look.
-What?

It's the skin.

It's much thinner than mine.

Pung wrote that it's impossible

to get it thinner than 0.2mm.

It's super thin and didn't rip.
How did he make this in a wok?

Hush.

What's going on?

Robbers.

That...

Will you let those robbers just go?

Are you still in pain?

I'm okay.

I'll go beat up those robbers.

Wait. Seol-ja.

Can you drive?

Yes. Driving is what I'm second best at
after cooking.

What are you up to?

Okay.

Let's go.

Come on.

MAENG SAM-SEON

GAN BO-RA

It's been only a day
since he was discharged.

Where is he going,
holding his side in pain like that?

Where is he going in this condition?

Give me my journal.

This.

You are trespassing right now.

You destroyed company property,
and are guilty of theft.

I created those recipes

through countless effort over 10 years.

The Usal Shrimp is in there too.

I'm taking back what was taken from me,
so give it back.

As long as you were employed here,

everything you created through
your efforts belongs to the hotel.

This is not yours.

I can't give it to you.

You knew it was my recipe,

but you're shamelessly doing a festival
and making money

with them?

These aren't your recipes.

It's my Usal Shrimp. Me, Master Wang.

I never saw your journal.

Do you even have your own recipes?

You claimed my menu that I got
the Michelin stars for,

and you were jealous
of the Michelin stars that I won,

so you kicked me out. And now,

you want to sell my Usal Shrimp?

Did you throw your conscience as a chef
into the trash?

Watch your mouth!

Thief.

What are you doing?

I'll find the original and burn that too.

Hey. Make the egg mix.

Do we have to do it right now?
What if we get caught?

Why you... Do it.

Where is it?

I'll take Pung's journal that you stole.

Give it.

Give it, asshole!

Thieves who steal and sell
someone else's dishes...

Hey.

A gangster punk who doesn't know his place
is on the 21st floor.

Don't kill him.

Bring him to me.

If you're sad,

you can take these ashes.

It's gone without a trace, just like you.

What is on the 21st floor?

-Kill him!
-Shit!

Chil-seong!

Come here!

Get him!

Hurry! Get in!

My gosh.

My gosh. Get in.

Get in.

You assholes!

You assholes! My gosh!

You assholes!

You assholes! Just kill me instead!

Chil-seong!

You assholes!

Chil-seong!

Have you ever

treated me like your master, even once?

Have you ever.

even once,

considered me your pupil?

Stop it! You'll kill him!

My gosh!

-Hey!
-My gosh.

Oh no.

Oh no.

Oh no.

What do we do, Chil-seong? My gosh.

Hey! Stop! My gosh. Stop.

Oh no.

Get in.

My gosh.

Take my hand.

My gosh.

Go.

My gosh.

-Pung's journal.
-What?

Pung's recipes.

Don't you go, you punk!

Who cares about some journal?

Don't go.

No. Don't go.

Go!

Hey, you! Stop right there!

You stupid fool!

What is this stupid journal

that you went back for it,
you son of a bitch?

You stupid asshole!

Hello, Seol-ja.

The ER?

I got it,

so go.

I'm glad you're here.

Take these people away.

Everyone out. Go.

Why did you go there in your condition?

Are you crazy? Have you lost your mind?

Why are you yelling and shit?

Hey.

Here.

Take it.

Take it, punk.

This is...

What is this? This is my recipe journal.

Chin up, man.

He almost died, punk.

Thank you.

Thanks.

-Thank you.
-We did it.

Stop that. Shit.

Stop it.

HUNGRY WOK

PALGAK

SPICY GARLIC FRIED ALMONDS

At least this eye looks like an almond,
which I like.

-Do you like almonds?
-Yes.

Then I'll make you
spicy garlic fried almonds.

SPICY GARLIC FRIED ALMONDS

Are you hungry?

Well, I thought I'd make myself
a fried egg or something.

In the wok?

Yes. I want to be good with the ladle,

but I need to know the wok well

in order to be good with the ladle.

I'm so bad...

I want to do well, so...

It's hard for men too.

I'll go home.

Grab it.

Wait.

The double-handle wok I use

is heavier and harder than most
single-handle woks.

So start with this.

Okay. I thought they were the same.

As you say, you need to know the wok well
if you want to be good with the ladle,

Grab it.

Three scoops of rice.

Yes, Master.

Okay. Grab the handle
as if you're shaking hands.

It's nice to meet you. Let's be friends.

"It's nice to meet you. Let's be friends."

Okay. Hold it like that and roll.
Draw a circle.

Rather than your fist,

pretend you're going over my fist
in front of yours,

and draw a slightly bigger circle.

-Okay.
-No, that's too big.

Draw a circle
slightly bigger than your fist.

Like this. Roll it like this.

Like this.

Roll.

Relax your shoulder. Use your wrist.

Relax your shoulder.

If you keep doing this
with a stiff shoulder,

it'll hurt and keep you up tonight.

Okay.

Try it.

That's it.

That's it. That's right.

If you think you got it,
add three more scoops of rice.

Yes, Master.

Now, watch the movement of the rice

and practice the rhythm of the roll. Okay.

Turn.

Okay.

Flip.

Flip.

One more time?

Flip.

I did it.

Your shoulder's stiff.

Relax the shoulder, and...

Watch the movement of the rice.
The wok and rice must be in rhythm.

Flip.

Flip.

Flip. I did it.

Practice on your own now.

Master.

Since I can't do both the wok
and the ladle at the same time,

can't you be my ladle just once?

I'm hungry. Let's make something to eat.

Didn't you have dinner?

Why are you always starving?

-What should we make?
-What is there to think about?

There are suddenly
so many things I want to eat.

The easiest one.
You don't even know how to cook.

The ladle is good.

The ladle does whatever the wok says.

-Oh, really?
-Of course.

Then

the easiest. Tangsuyuk?

I got scolded so much,
I memorized the recipe.

-As you wish.
-Hold up.

You said the ladle does
whatever the wok says.

Yes. Relax your shoulder.

Let's have beef with cabbage.

Okay.

Add enough oil to submerge
just the bottom of the ladle.

Yes, Master.

While stirring, add scallions,
garlic, and ginger.

Yes, Master.

One teaspoon of refined soy sauce.

Yes, Master.

Okay.

Add the vegetables
once you smell the scallions.

Push the ladle now.

Push the ladle!

Wok. Ladle.

One wok, one ladle.

Wok. Ladle.

Hey. Can't you time it right?

Oyster sauce.

A pinch of sugar
and three shakes of black pepper.

Hey, mister!

Doesn't your shoulder hurt?
You memorized it all.

The wok and ladle are one.

You can't have just the wok
or just the ladle.

I'm the wok, you're the ladle.

Let's taste it.

A pinch of sugar.

Let's taste it.

Shit. It's yummy.

"Shit. It's yummy"?

A little more oyster sauce.

Move it!

I've always wanted to try this.

Let go. I'll do it now.

It's done. I'll do it.

Let go. Now.

Put that in.

It looks yummy.

My shoulder doesn't hurt at all.
I can do it.

Talk to me tomorrow.

Did I make this, or did you?

What does it matter?

It's yummy.

Did you really get a divorce?

Yes.

When? How long ago?

The day I drank alone at the tent bar.

Eat... with me.

I like you.

But...

I like Chil-seong...

as much as I like you.

So I'm going to stop liking you.

Just in case, don't like me.

Okay.

-Hey, pull over.
-Let's just go.

She can walk a little.

Can I get in between you two?

Is it over with your wife?
You took off your ring too.

-We broke up.
-Find someone better.

How did you make this?

We'll do a different Usal Shrimp
than Pung.

You'll have to return to China.

You're fired.

Work with me.

Can't I just do as I want?

There's no trick
if it hurts from the get-go.

I'm professional.

No matter what I do, it's awkward.

I said I can go by myself.

Just go with me.
