PALPAL NOODLES

Kang-soo.

Kang-soo.

Kang-soo.

Kang-soo.

Kang-soo.

It feels so empty

without those three.

It doesn't feel empty at all.

They are traitors.

Right, I won't forgive them until the day I die.

They let their friends down.

This is worse than stealing their friend's girlfriend.

Someone's calling you.

I won't take it.

It's Dan-ah.

What? Why is she calling me?

Hello, Dan-ah.

What?

I see. Okay.

Guys, this is bad.

Kang-soo disappeared.

-What? -Tell the others in our group chat.

Wake our 380 delivery men up.

-Tell them to search all over Seoul. -Okay.

Kang-soo, you punk.

You must know where he is.

You're his best friend.

I don't know. He didn't call me.

He wouldn't call someone like me.

Then think of some places he might go.

Go to his hometown.

If he left Seoul, that's the only place he'd go.

Dad.

I'm home.

Kang-soo disappeared?

Yes. I think he gave up on everything and left.

I went to their website

and the delivery men left hundreds of comments asking him to come back.

He acted up like a child and this is how he ends up.

What about the person whom we agreed to recruit?

He turned us down.

Why?

Their company has almost gone out of business.

Why does he want to stay there?

I don't know.

So Dan-ah went to Kang-soo's hometown?

Yes, she said she'll persuade him by any means

if she finds him there.

He even put down the company sign before he left.

Will he come back?

We have to wait for now.

TAE-HO CHOI

Dan-ah.

I didn't take you for such a jerk

Is this how you handle things?

-Dan-ah. -Tell me.

Is this who you are?

Are you the kind of guy who abandons all his employees

and runs away when things get tough?

You promised that you'd be with me no matter what happened.

And you left a note and disappeared?

If you left like that,

would that make me happy? Is that what you thought?

Whichever country I leave for,

I wouldn't be happy without you.

Go to Seoul immediately.

Go and start again.

Don't let me down anymore.

Go back.

Kang-soo.

It's time you leave too.

You can be happy without me.

Kang-soo.

It might be hard for now,

but you'll be all right after some time.

It was the same for me.

When my dad passed away,

I thought I wouldn't be able to eat anything from that day on.

I thought I wouldn't be able to laugh until the end.

But...

But it wasn't true.

I got friends.

I met you and that's how I came to laugh again.

Kang-soo, please.

You can do just the same.

Bury this in the corner of your heart and live.

Then you can be happy

in the future.

Go.

Don't come to me again.

What about you then?

What will you do?

Will you be okay without me?

Can you laugh again?

Do you want to live

without me?

Yes.

The more I think about it, the stranger it is.

What is?

About the food ingredients.

I didn't find anything wrong in the producer.

People in my hometown wouldn't do such a thing either.

So I told you Ms. Park messed with food and got caught.

What if it's not the case?

-What? -It could've happened

without her knowing.

What are you talking about?

Are you saying the domestic ingredients

transformed themselves to imported ingredients?

No, I'm just saying

it seems suspicious.

I trust you.

I've never suspected that you switched ingredients.

So you should trust us too.

What is it that you want to say?

You have a CCTV installed in here, right?

Can I take a look at the footages?

Wait, isn't she the branch manager of Jung Ga?

Why did she visit my restaurant?

I'm sure there's something.

Let's check the day before the inspection.

What's wrong with this?

I think she turned down the power and switched ingredients.

My goodness.

I'll look into more of it.

We need to prepare thoroughly so that they can't escape from this.

Move.

I said, move.

Eat.

I won't give up on you.

I've given up so many things that I can't give up anymore.

So eat this and cheer up.

I'm staying here until you do.

It's expensive.

You better eat all of it.

Are you here to see Kang-soo?

Yes, just...

Hyun-soo said it seemed like something happened to Kang-soo.

He used to be a very nice friend of Hyun-soo, so I was worried.

Then go see him.

No.

I was worried he might be alone.

I was worried he might...

But you're keeping his side.

What is

your name?

It's Dan-ah.

Dan-ah Lee.

Thank you, Dan-ah.

I'll go.

Don't tell him that you saw me.

Please don't.

Just tell him

that you're sorry.

I've heard it all.

Tell him that you're sorry

and he'll forgive you.

Kang-soo

is a nice person, you see.

That's why

I can't.

He's too nice

that he'll try to forgive me anyhow.

Like his dad,

he'll suffer so much alone.

I don't want to hurt him anymore.

Then why are you here?

I don't know.

I don't know

why I came here.

Please take good care of him.

Mom.

Hyun-soo.

What brings you here?

I was worried about him. I told you.

People in the group chat looked for him all night long.

Right.

What brings you here?

Well...

My friend lives here.

I came here to see my friend.

Your friend, who?

There's someone you don't know.

Mom.

Are you here to see Kang-soo by any chance?

What are you talking about?

Mom.

You acted really strange ever since you heard something happened to him.

You couldn't hear me call your name many times either.

Really?

I didn't know.

Mom, do you know him?

How would I know him?

Then what's wrong?

You acted strangely from the day you saw Kang-soo.

You got startled every time customers came in and you looked dazed.

What is this about?

Tell me. I'm not a child anymore.

If you won't tell me,

I'll go ask Kang-soo myself.

Hyun-soo.

He acted strangely too.

He seemed unusual

when he talked to you on the phone and when you came to take me home.

What is it?

Tell me.

By the way,

what will you do if he comes back?

I don't know. It's not like the company is still going on.

It's because you guys stick only to delivering food.

Do you have any plan?

We can deliver flowers, laundry

and groceries too. There are many things to deliver.

We should broaden our customer base

instead of delivering food for the food alley.

It's only possible if we have money.

It costs money to hire more delivery men and promote the service.

We're a corporation, you see.

If we need any fund, we can simply issue shares.

And we manage the company with the investment.

I've thought about it too,

but I don't think people are going to buy our stocks.

-Kang-soo has a lot of friends. -What?

Tell those people who invested 100,000 won

to invest a little more.

All right. Let's do it.

Let's do something before he comes.

I understand he's exhausted.

He always took the lead.

It's time for us to do something.

I was about to say the exact same thing.

All right. Let's do it.

I'm on it.

Right, Kang-soo helped us in many ways,

so 100,000 won was too small.

Right, it's embarrassing.

So how much should I invest? I got my payment today.

I'm withdrawing money from my savings account.

Wait, I opened it only last month.

DAEHAN BANK

Look.

Your friends invested all this money.

It's hard to read, isn't it? Let me read it for you.

It's 357,680,000 won in total.

Stop hesitating and go back.

They invested this money because they trusted you.

If you still choose not to go, you'll betray your friends' trust.

And you'll betray my trust too.

Let's go.

Okay. Do whatever you want to do.

I'm going.

Everyone's trying so hard to save this company.

I want to be part of it

because I'm the employee of this company too.

Strongest Deliveryman

I'll go, boss.

Goodbye.

Strongest Deliveryman

Strongest Deliveryman?

It's been my dream since a long time ago.

-Let's do this. -Let's do this.

I believe we have to be able to dream even as a delivery man.

We have a bright future too.

I want to show people.

The 374 employees.

Perhaps, more than them.

Let's help them dream about their future.

I want to see someone like you become successful.

I'll show you.

I promise you that I'll succeed no matter what.

Seal it.

This train is heading to Seoul.

It has departed from the station. Please enjoy your travel.

Thank you for using this train.

Dan-ah.

Can I sit next to you?

I'm sorry.

It's all right.

You're here.

I was afraid.

I had never been afraid of failure,

but I was afraid this time.

If I didn't stop here,

I thought everyone would be unhappy because of me.

My friends

and you too.

Why did you have such thoughts like a fool?

I'm happy as long as you're beside me.

It's the same for your friends too.

I'm sleepy.

I couldn't get any sleep because of someone last night.

Okay, get some sleep.

I won't go anywhere.

Good morning.

Well...

Why are you here? Where's Kang-soo?

He went to his hometown to take care of his business.

What about Dan-ah?

It was such a serious business

that they went together.

-What? -Anyway, until they return,

I'll be responsible for this place.

I told you I don't like you.

This isn't the situation for that.

Goodness.

Kang-soo. Dan-ah.

Hello.

Sorry, we're late.

Hi.

How did the things go in your hometown?

Well, yes.

Thanks to Dan-ah.

Let's go upstairs.

MESSAGE FROM THE CEO

I'm sorry that I made you worry.

Thank you. I was able to come back thanks to you.

I won't forget about this.

I should've done better. If I had,

every one of you who started this business with me

would've been here together.

Sorry that I'm not good enough.

We'll rise again with the money you invested.

From now on, we plan to partner up with not only restaurants,

but also flower shops, dry cleaners, shopping malls

and every place that wants to provide delivery service.

But we'll revitalize the food alley for certain.

Kang-soo, you shouldn't.

They betrayed you.

Kang-soo.

Sir, you're on live.

The investors might not like the idea, so you shouldn't bring that subject out.

Okay, I will give up on it if all 380 of you disagree with it.

But I hope you keep this in mind.

We started this fight

to help a small restaurant called Hanyang Ox-Bone Stew.

We started this business

to protect this food alley.

We didn't start this to earn money for ourselves.

It was to coexist with every food alley

which is our delivery partner.

And I came to realize something

when I someone cooked for me.

Just how happy it is

to have a satisfying meal.

That's why I don't want to give up.

It's not right for someone to monopolize the happiness.

I believe poor people must protect their happiness on their own.

Please trust me once more.

I'll work hard.

Nice, boss.

Our Kang-soo is finally back.

You're the best.

STRONGEST DELIVERYMAN

Sung-jae.

Sorry.

Can we join the company again?

Of course.

Move your butts, traitors.

-Thanks. -You're welcome.

Min-chan, isn't this Yeon-ji's style?

She doesn't like red.

How do you know?

Don't you have someone who looks friendlier?

Kang-soo appeared again.

Sung-jae returned with all our delivery men.

Jung Ga is unable to do the delivery service at the moment.

What?

I think we should threaten Kang-soo directly using Sung-jae's case.

They might try to threaten you directly. Brace yourself.

I'm ready to go to prison.

See you.

She's beyond my imagination. She's just so evil.

I think she was behind the food ingredient case too.

What?

I checked the video footage in Ms. Park's restaurant.

The branch manager of Jung Ga approached the worker there.

-Is that true? -Yes.

But it's not sufficient enough.

Then we should find more.

Let's go.

Check all the CCTV footages in this alley.

And check the dash cam footages of cars parked in here at night.

If we reveal what's behind this case, we can regain our partnership too.

Okay.

Let's go.

This is despicable. How could she do this?

She runs a restaurant herself too.

She's more than capable of doing worse.

We got the evidence. Let's take her down first.

Calm down. If we make a rash move,

she might use this to get us.

Then what?

Let's talk to them first. We need to know how they'll react

before we plan for another move.

Relative pronoun is...

ENGLISH DICTIONARY

Should I go ask Dan-ah for a private lesson?

No, she might want me to pay a lot.

You're home.

-What are you doing? -Studying for the college entrance exam.

What?

I've thought about it and I need to be with children.

Why? What are you going to do to them?

Okay. So?

I'll go to college and major in childhood education.

My original goal was to become a great kindergarten teacher.

But I had to give up on it because of my mom

and majored in business management.

I guess your mom thought of handing the business over to you.

And I'm telling you it's wrong.

Children are separate human-beings.

Why do they keep seeing their children as their successors?

Even if she leaves me her fortunes later,

I'll donate them all.

-Do you mean it? -Of course.

From the bottom of your heart?

You haven't experienced what it means to be really poor yet though.

Are you sure that you won't ask your mom for help

even if you hit the bottom of poverty?

Of course.

All right. Let's say your mom happens to lose

everything she owns now.

You really don't care?

You said you want to go to college.

What if you have to give up because you have no money to pay for your tuition?

Can you still be the same?

What's wrong with you today, Jin-gyu?

Why are you trying to verify my will all of a sudden?

You moved out from your family.

In order to live on your own for real,

I think you should be prepared for the worst.

Don't worry.

I won't be swayed no matter what happens.

You know what?

Other people don't think about this at all.

You and I are concerned about this because we were born rich.

Other people have no such fear.

They don't think about relying on their family from the beginning.

They're much more independent than we are.

I see.

Who is it?

Who are you?

Mom.

I heard from your mom.

You learned business management from a company named Jung Ga.

No, I had nothing to learn from there.

Don't put it that way.

Leave him be. He looks much more normal to behave this way.

I'll get straight to the point.

Come home.

Come home and be in charge of Ohsung Construction.

Show everyone what you're capable of.

Why are you doing this to me all of a sudden?

You're my son.

That's why I'm giving you one more chance.

Live as the proud second son of Ohsung Group.

What are you waiting for? Thank him already.

Jin-gyu.

I'm sorry.

The second son of Ohsung Group died a long time ago.

Hey.

I'll go. Goodbye.

Goodness.

The branch manager of Jung Ga told me to do it.

I really didn't know things would turn out like this.

I had no idea that the food alley would go out of business because of me.

Go tell Sunjin Construction what you did.

Take care of this matter within today.

Or I'll report this to the police for an official investigation.

Why are you telling me this?

What?

What have you done, Ms. Son?

-What? -Who told you to be loyal this way?

Ma'am.

Report it to the police.

I know nothing about this.

My employee was blinded by her promotion and went against business ethics.

-What? -You're fired.

I'll sue you for damaging the Jung Ga's image.

Brace yourself.

Ma'am.

Please get out of my office.

Are you okay?

No.

-I'm resentful. -She ordered you to do it, right?

-Yes. -Then can you go somewhere with me?

-Where? -To Sunjin Construction.

Go and reveal the truth for us. Then I won't report you.

What are you talking about?

I didn't start this to send powerless people like you to prison.

So go reveal the truth. That's all I need.

I did it myself under the CEO of Jung Ga's orders.

Still, we can't cancel our partnership again.

What do you mean?

Innocent restaurants are closing down because of the incident.

Whatever the case is, don't bring this out again.

It's only a tip-off.

This case wasn't officially investigated by the police either.

We can't go through the troublesome process again because of this.

Will you turn a blind eye to it

because it's troublesome?

Please leave. I have to attend a meeting soon.

I'm sorry.

Can I go as promised now?

Yes, thank you.

Please wait.

Tell me if there's anything I don't know.

Don't keep it to yourself.

Otherwise, such things will repeat endlessly.

Those without power must hold hands in order to stop that from happening.

Please.

Please

muster up your courage.

What a world. Those bitches always become successful.

What's your plan now?

I'll fight until the end. I'll make sure she gets punished.

It's not something you can do only with your will.

Business people must have influence on others with money.

Or they must literally grab others' neck to have an influence on them.

Soon-ae.

Okay, I'll stop.

You try to have control over me lately.

-Because I'm older than you. -What?

Why this punk...

You got something on your face.

CHAIRMAN MOON

Hello?

What?

I caught that punk.

I ordered my people to search him since the day I met you.

How do you want me to do? Shall I punish him?

No, leave it up to me.

Okay. I'll wait for your call.

Okay. Thank you.

Thank you so much.

What's wrong?

We caught that scum.

We finally caught that scum.

I keep thinking about the branch manager's face.

She saw how the CEO put all the blame on her.

She looked so wretched.

She must feel resentful.

Poor people are most miserable when they feel like they have been used by the rich

because they have no way to take revenge.

So you should do better.

You should become successful so that this world changes.

You make me feel like I've become a hero or something.

You're a hero to me.

My hero. You're the best.

Oh, right. You emptied that seafood stew.

-Was it delicious? -It was great.

I chewed on sand a little though.

You have to put clams in salt water to remove sand before cooking.

Why did you finish it all then?

You told me to eat it all because it was expensive.

Goodness.

It was delicious. That's why I ate it all.

I don't want to send you home.

-I don't want to be apart from you. -You don't?

And you left a note and disappeared?

Sorry.

Dan-ah. Where's your hometown by the way?

It's close to your hometown.

What?

It's among those train stations which we passed by on our way to Seoul.

And why did you pass by?

You should've stopped by.

Aren't you curious how your family is doing?

They're doing okay if they don't call me.

That's how I live.

Why?

Just...

I'm busy supporting myself yet.

I have no leftover happiness to share with my family.

-Kang-soo. -Yes?

She came to see you.

-What? -Hyun-soo's mom.

She came to see you in secret and ran into me.

She was worried about you.

I don't want to

hear such a story.

Okay. I'm sorry.

But I want you to know.

She must've mustered up a lot of courage

to come down to see you.

Stop it.

Okay.

I'll stop here.

I'll go now.

Goodnight.

Okay. Get home safely.

-Bye. -Bye.

Are you drunk?

Yes.

Why did you drink so much?

-For a farewell. -What?

-I quit. -Why?

Why? I don't know.

Do you want to hear a joke? What did the pirate say on his 80th birthday?

-What is it? -Aye matey!

I'm sorry.

What's that? You're a tempo late.

Why did you hit me?

You want to bring it on? I'm good at fighting.

The two have been seeing each other for quite a while.

And why didn't you tell me?

I was worried you might be hurt.

I see.

Thank you.

Okay.

I'll give in.

Be happy, Min-chan.

It's up.

Guys, it's up!

What's the ruckus outside?

Did something happen?

You should watch what's on the news.

News?

Bribe the restaurant worker with about five million won.

And tell her to mix domestic ingredients with imported ingredients.

Yes, ma'am.

Their expanding strategy with a big capital wasn't enough for them.

They didn't hesitate to take such an illegal means.

People are strongly criticizing the company for their evil deeds.

Meanwhile, the boycott campaign against the company

is spreading quickly on the internet.

This is Reporter Jae-chul Park.

-Welcome. -Welcome.

The boycott campaign doesn't seem to end.

Not only this alley, but all the other Jung Ga alleys

-are suffering from an extreme deficit. -Contact Youngil Savings Bank.

The punk who faked the adultery case under your order.

He's in my hands.

Chairman Moon caught him himself.

-Chairman Moon? -Yes.

You know how scary he can get when he's mad, right?

-Well, Soon-ae... -Hey.

He just called my name.

Shut your mouth.

Choose. Will you go to prison and become an ex-convict,

or will you return my dad's money?

For your information, if you go to prison,

there will be so many people ready to give you a hard time.

Chairman Moon is well known in this field, you see.

Well...

Please save me.

I'll settle all my shares and give you the money back.

-Give me a month. -I'll give you ten days.

Let's go, honey.

CEO HYE-RAN JUNG

Can I make an additional loan of 12 billion won?

Set as much interest rate as you'd like.

I'm afraid I can't lend you any more money.

-Mr. Kim. -You know you have to

repay the principal starting this month, right?

I'll put your corporate account on provisional attachment if it's overdue.

-Mr. Kim. -I'm hanging up.

HEAD OF YOUNGIL SAVINGS BANK JONG-HYUN KIM

All the restaurants in the food alley have a surplus of over ten million won.

And our company's sales adds up to 62 million won in total.

Its net profit is 27 million won.

And each of you will be given a million won incentive.

Nice!

Thank you for your hard work.

Kang-soo.

Hyun-soo.

Kang-soo.

My big brother.

It's me, Hyun-soo.

Your little brother.

Hyun-soo!

I think he knows it all.

I think she told him everything.

Kang-soo...

Kang-soo.

Kang-soo.

Is...

Hyun-soo here?

I told you not to tell him anything about it.

I warned you.

I had no choice.

You had no choice?

Why did you have to make Hyun-soo suffer as well?

Dad and I...

Both of us were hurt because of you.

And now, are you going to hurt him as well?

I'm sorry.

I really am.

You're sorry?

Now?

I'm sorry.

I'm sorry.

Why did you do that?

Why did you do that to my dad?

Because he was nice.

What?

He was too nice.

I thought I'd fool him easily.

I was...

I was buried in debt.

I ran away to here and there with my little siblings.

That was when I met your dad.

I planned to get his thumbprint

and run away at first.

-That's enough. -But...

But it was hard. I hesitated

and gave birth to you.

Eventually, the creditors found me,

so I abandoned your dad and ran away.

I abandoned you

and ran away.

I was sure you'd have to be on the run all your life if you were with me.

I'm sorry, Kang-soo.

Kang-soo, don't forgive me.

Don't.

Don't forgive me

until the day you die.

Okay?

Kang-soo.

Did you sleep well?

Yes.

Why did you drink so much?

Just...

Did something bad happen?

-Just... -Don't drink too much.

You're a grownup too. If you drink too much again,

I'll scold you really hard.

Kang-soo.

Kang-soo.

We won.

We won!

Jung Ga Ends Up Going Bankrupt.

Come on out.

We made it!

Yes!

-Yes! -Nice!

-Yes! -We made it.

Hyun-soo, call your grandma.

Tell her to come to Hanyang.

You're the best.

Guys, let's do him a toss.

Kang-soo is the best!

One, two, three!

SEIZED ITEM

Mom.

Hi.

Hi.

Let's go, Mom.

Let's go.

We can start anew.

You're good at cooking.

I...

I used to like your dishes the most.

All right.

Let's go.

I'll drive.

Will you do that?

I'll take that.

-Dan-ah. -Yes?

-I did good, right? -Yes.

-Dan-ah. -Yes?

You want some jjajangmyeon?

Sure.

-I'll make it delicious. -Okay.

-Kang-soo. -Yes?

Shall I make some onion fritters for you?

Sure, I'd love that.

Wash the dishes thoroughly.

What?

It's what I want to say.

I'm doing the best I can.

See here. It's not washed thoroughly.

It's your job.

You need to lather them thoroughly so that I can wash them well.

I'm doing it all right.

You're talking back to me more and more.

Why do you always hit me first?

You want another beating?

Okay, okay.

Try acting up again.

I'll fix that habit of yours one day.

JAEI KINDERGARTEN

Hello.

Come here.

-Goodbye. -Bye.

Good girl.

-Goodbye. -Goodbye.

You must be tired.

No, I feel energetic

whenever I see those cutie pies.

You don't need to sugarcoat it.

Can you tell?

Gosh, they're so hard to deal with.

You're such a mean teacher to say that.

Keep it to yourself.

That depends on you.

-Jin-gyu. -What?

Don't you regret it?

-What about you? -I'm okay so far.

Me too.

HANYANG OX-BONE STEW

Thanks for the food.

Come whenever you feel hungry.

I will.

-Go back inside. -Okay, bye.

Did you

-have lunch? -Yes.

That's good. Bye.

Bye.

Wait.

Bye.

I'm risking my life on this. She's my ideal type of girl.

Give up. She'll be my girlfriend soon.

Don't get hurt later.

There she comes.

-What is it again? -Give us just 30 minutes.

I'm not interested in kids.

Then what kind of guy do you like?
