Grandpa, there are too few customers, so I don't think I'll be able to pay the rent.

I resign because there is something I'd like to do.

What is that?

Running a shop.

In that place, everything is not as it seems.

Oh my god!

You all worked hard.

Most people turn around before even entering the bathhouse.

I'll go with that building.

- Huh?
- What?

"The pearl in the mud," that place.

The bathhouse is leased. Leave!

Aigoo. Aigoo.

Grandpa, why are you doing this to me?

I have something to propose to you.

Have you ever thought about working here with me?

What is this?

The contract is 30 years?!

There is no other option

if he doesn't ruin the business and walk out on his own two feet.

This is the only option left, right?

Welcome.

Refreshing Bath: Barun Chicken

Let's go!

Opening tomorrow

Welcome, Sir.

Thank you.

Welcome.

Smells like chicken.

Thank you.

Seasoned flavor chicken, please.

Seasoned and pardon?

Soy sauce flavored chicken, garlic flavored chicken. Three glasses of beer and two bottles of soju.

Ah, as for the fried chicken, I'll take it when I go. And please prepare it as to-go.
- Pardon?

May I have one seasoned chicken with lots of sauce,

with three sides of pickled radish, and 500ml of Cola.

1.5 liters, please.

Chin down.

Strengthen your arms. Smile.

Make sure not to spill the water.

Again!

That makes ₩127,000 for you.

They will pay for what they ordered and

I will pay for what I ordered.

Ya! Then you pay.

Okay.

If I was the owner, a part-timer like you would be fired right away.

When was the last time you visited a restaurant?

Two years ago?

Or was it three years ago?

You've been hiding in the house.

You need to receive service to give good service.

Anyway, tomorrow is the day so there is no going back.

But Bo Ah...

If this chicken place fails,

what will you do then?

Will you turn it back into a bathhouse?

I haven't thought that far yet.

I don't think I'll turn it back into a bathhouse.

Then?

Do you have to make things complicated?

Make the concept here come alive.

These days that's the trend.

Instagram worthy.

Are you saying that I should run a chicken place?

How am I supposed to cook the chicken?

You can sell things other than chicken.

For example... coffee?

A bathhouse cafe?

That sounds good.

That seems nice.

So, am I a cafe owner now?

No, that seems nice, but

do you need to go so far as to be a part-timer?

Anyway, didn't you say that the boss picked you?

Hey, I can't get fired before this place fails.

You need to have the feeling of being competent

so that you can have a chance

to cut your enemy's throat.

How can you crawl into the enemy's field without such determination?

Okay, practice, practice.

Practice.

Would you like to order?

It became complicated.

We're just two men (for bathhouse admission).

Did it change to a mixed bath (where women and men bath together)?

I'm sorry. Elder.

We're a chicken restaurant now, not a bathhouse.

Really? We came to take a bath though?

No wonder you kept telling us to order.

Let's go. I felt something was strange when I came in.

Aigoo.

Let's go, go.

My regular place is gone now.

This is confusing.

It's a chicken place they say. Where shall we go?

- Next time, come and have chicken.
- Sure, sure.

Let's go.

Goodbye.

Let's go that way.

Refreshing Bath: Barun Chicken Work Contract

Your day-off is every Monday, and you work six days per week.

You will be paid weekly. You have a thirty-minute break.

Your work times can change depending on the situation.

You will be paid the minimum hourly wage, and it is currently at ₩7,530 ($7.50).

However, during the probation, you will be paid only 90% of promised wage—

I want ₩10,000 ($10.00) per hour and no probation.

What did you say?

Didn't you see me with the customers earlier?

Those grandpas recognized me and everything.

But, to give you ₩10,000 without knowing your skillset fully is...

You must have forgotten already, but

I was the face of this bathhouse

for five years.

It'd be difficult to treat me like I'm just a part-time worker.

Make sure to get ₩10,000 as an hourly salary.

The discount of ₩500,000 that your grandpa gave to him, you should get it back.

Since you're paid ₩10,000 per hour, you will only get ₩450,000 more

than if you get minimum wage!

For the last ₩50,000, try thinking that you gave to a beggar.

Grandpa used to always nag me about giving me just ₩50,000 as an allowance.

But what? ₩500,000 ($500) off each month?

In case you need to bargain, you can't go below ₩9,000.

If you let him cut ₩1,000 off, you'll lose ₩180,000 per month!

We need to force him to pay more money for hiring cost.

So he'll fail one day sooner.

But, will he easily give me ₩10,000?

I am willing to work for at least ₩9,500.

Sure.

What?

I only saw you for a short while, but you seem to be doing well.

Even though I saw your working briefly, I believe in you, so I'll give you ₩10,000.

Ah, yes.

Seriously?

Please take care of me.

Today is the day before the opening, so it will get busy from then.

Yes.

Episode 2
The Lord's Hobby

Refreshing Bath: Barun Chicken

3 days later

Bo Ah, if you're awake can you come here?

Yes.

Unbelievable Bargain

Unbelievable Bargain

You call that a flyer?

How is it? Isn't it totally awesome?

As soon as you look at this flyer, doesn't it just make you crave chicken?

Well, since I always crave chicken.

Can I leave this to you?

I will be preparing another promotion.

Yes, Boss.

Hold on.

Can you do that one more time?

Again?

Yes.

Boss, Boss, Boss.

Boss, Boss, Boss.

Boss, Boss, Boss.

Boss, Boss, Boss, Boss, Boss, Boss, Boss.

My Boss, Is that enough?

I will distribute the flyers then.

It's nice to hear you calling me boss every time.

See you later.

Where are you going Bo Ah?

On an errand.

Bo Ah, are things going well?

Sure, absolutely wonderful.

It's been three days since the opening and we have yet to see our first customer.

That's great.

Your boss must be devoured by anxiety around now.

Nope. Even in the midst of this, he is still very easy going.

Business is a joke to him.

There is no way that's true.

Do you know how much money it takes to open a store?

He's probably just hiding his anxiety from you.

You think so?

No, that's not it.

That is definitely not it.

Though it might be.

I wanted to stop talking about it.

But you know, when I was twenty, I went on a trip to Europe.

Stop it.

Please just stop.

I've heard so many times about the airplane menu on the flight going and coming back.

Just listen. You know the Versailles Palace, right?

There is an amazing farm there.

And its name is Marie Antoinette's farm.

Why do you think she made a farm inside the palace?

Just go on.

Back then, between nobles, farming was the trend.

They saw farmers squeeze milk out of cows,

and plow the land.

This looked super fun.

Why? Because life was boring.

So the chicken restaurant's boss is like Marie Antoinette?

Exactly. You said he graduated from a prestigious university and worked at a major company.

But he left all of that to open a chicken restaurant.

He even gave you the wage you requested and is fine with things not going well.

It's clear.

What is?

He's from a rich family.

Think about how excited your rich young lord must be right now?

He must be frying chicken, doing the dishes,

and hearing you call him boss.

Right! He goes nuts for that.

What am I to do?

Yes, what does our Bo Ah do now?

She's in real trouble.

Unbelievable Bargain

I can't leave things the way they are.

I need special countermeasures.

Min Ah, I need pen and paper. Quickly.

What are you doing?

Min Ah, when do you not want to eat chicken?

When I am full?

No, that's too difficult.

I need something that makes you lose your appetite.

Right. Appetite.

Cruel girl.

Honey, don't worry.

I will save you.

I'm fine with being fried.

But our children...

Honey, don't say something so weak.

Hello. You'd like fried chicken?

Honey, you need to live happily without me.

And take care of our kids.

Honey, take my hand!

Honey, it's too hot.

Kya!

How can you leave me like this? How am I going to live?

- Honey!
- Mom! I miss you!

Honey...

Farewell, my babies.

We fry chicken like a mother would.

It's tasty, Refreshing Bath Chicken.

You really want us to print this?

Yes, 2000, please.

No, wait, let's go for 4000 pages.

So I can spread it all over the neighborhood.

Enjoy.

Here you go.

- Enjoy the meal.
- Thank you.

- Chicken's here.
- Thank you.

- Enjoy.
- Thanks.

- Chicken's here.
- Thanks.

Oh! Bo Ah. Over here.

Enjoy. If it's tasty, ask your mother to buy more for you.

Thank you.

I will enjoy it.

While I hand out the chicken, can you hand out the flyers next to me?

Sure.

Here's the chicken.

If it's tasty, ask your mother to buy some.

Yes, thank you.

Take a flyer.

Chicken's here.

Have some chicken.

Thank you.

Take a look at this!

What is it?

- Chicken's here.
- Thank you.

Enjoy.

Isn't this chicken poor?

Here you go.

Take one.

One for you too.

Unbelievable Bargain

So Ah, what is this?

- What do you think? It's way better than the other one, right?
- Gosh, who will eat after reading this?

Hey Mister, hurry and give me some chicken as well.

Tell me later.

Enjoy.

Be sure to show your parents!

Take one.

Enjoy.

You can go now.

This tasty chicken.

Just one bite.

Enjoy and bring your parents next time.

Make sure to show this to your parents.

Ask your parents to buy some if you enjoy it.

Yes.

With your friends...

Enjoy.

If this is tasty, ask your parents to buy you some.

Yes.

Since this is a coupon, take it.

Enjoy.

Come back next time.

Enjoy and come over with your parents next time.

Enjoy and see you next time.

I'm sorry, the child just now received the last box.

What?

Instead, I can give you a 50% discount coupon with our flyer, so come back next time.

Our chicken is really tasty, you see.

Never mind. I'm not eating.

I feel like dying.

Seo Bo Ah, I think we need to talk.

Park Joon Hyeok's Clinic

Is there anything else you'd like to ask?

No, thank you doctor.

Then goodbye.

Next one.

Director Park, how could you see each patient for twenty minutes?

A clinic is also a business. You need to think of your profits.

Mom, what brings you so suddenly to Seoul?

What do you mean why? How could you say something so sad?

My son just opened his own clinic. Of course, I need to come.

The interior isn't that elegant.

While I'm here, I should change some stuff.

Don't be like that.

When does your little brother finish work?

We should eat together. Tell him to come here.

Ah, the thing is...

If he feels pressured to work overtime, I'll call the company.

Ask him to give me his department head's phone number.

His department head will probably understand since it's a parent and her child meeting after a couple of months.

I think he went on a business trip. Overseas.

Really?

Without even telling his mother.

Then how about we don't eat out,

but shall I make you a meal?

It's been quite a while since you had a homemade meal, right?

I made the draft. But this...

Who comes to eat chicken after seeing this?

I mean, this... mommy hen.

How are you going to take responsibility for this situation?

Boss, can I be honest?

About what?

Your flyer. It stinks.

In this neighborhood, more than fifteen such flyers get put up every day.

They go straight into the trash.

But this. Could you throw this away?

That's even more of a problem. Mommy hen will even come up in their dreams!

You don't seem to get it, but this is the trend nowadays.

I don't know about trends, but this isn't going to work.

Isn't this common sense?

Yes, hyung. I will call you in a bit—

- What?!
- Mom's here.

She's sleeping over at our house.

Then what about me?

I don't know, man. So who told you to cancel the previous lease and barge into my place?

Anyway, just know that I am going to take her home.

Now?!

You know what happens if she finds out you quit the company, right?

She's going to make a one-man demonstration in front of the company to get you reinstated.

Director Park?

- Got to go. Bye.
- Hold on. Hyung!

The point is you have no sense whatsoever for things like this, so just leave them to me.

Got it?

For now, I have something urgent to do, so let's talk later.

Boss? Then I will distribute the rest of the flyers.

If I can't, say so now.

I take your silence as permission.

There's no psychopath who would look at this and come to eat chicken.

Unbelievable Bargain

I'm from the Refreshing Bath Chicken place.

I'm from the Refreshing Bath Chicken place.

Working hard, I see?

Take a break. You're going to faint before handing all of them out.

Follow me.

I don't think I'll be able to walk anymore because of my legs.

How many did you hand out?

I don't know, maybe around 500? This will have an effect, right?

Of course. Because of you, the chicken restaurants in our neighborhood will all go bankrupt.

Using my body after a while is exhausting.

I don't want to live diligently.

You got a freckle!

What? Really?

For how long am I supposed to do this?

I'm dying because of that rich lord's hobby.

What are you talking about?

Something.

I feel like there has to be a method. Something certain and powerful.

Should I look into it?

Min Ah...

Here.

What was the password again?

Director Park.

Normally it doesn't look like this. I've just been busy these days.

Oh.

This won't do. I think I will have to stay a while.

No, that's really fine.

Are you kidding? Look at this mess.

After a few days, Choi Go will return from his trip, then I can see his face before I leave.

Goodness.

Mom. Why are you working when coming over to your son's place?

I will do it later, so let's go out and eat something.

Do you see Choi Go often?

Sure, from time to time.

Take care of him.

I'm sorry for you, but he always worries me.

Even at school, he was always lacking compared to you.

Even in society, he is always lacking compared to you.

Mom. When others hear this, they will laugh.

He went to a great school and made it to Myeongseong Group.

What is lacking about him?

You're right. I never expected him to enter that famous company even in my wildest dreams.

Because of that, I feel so happy.

I will do that later.

I'm almost done.

Done, done.

- I'm sorry, customer—
- Fried chicken, please.

And this.

Since I have a coupon, I get 50% off, right? Go on then.

I'm sorry, but we cannot take any customers right now due to a special circumstance.

Why? You're afraid I don't have ₩5,900?

How can a person...

Fine now?

Bring me the chicken.

That's not it. Because the boss is not here, there is no one to fry the chicken.

What?

How about coming next time? Or going to another restaurant?

I know of a really tasty place on the street over there. How about going there?

Since I work here, I shouldn't say this, but the chicken here is really just so-so.

Now...

are you discriminating against your customers, huh?

Don't make a nonsensical excuse and just get me the chicken.

Excuse me? How long have we known each other that you speak so rudely?

What?

Just because you're a customer, do you think you can speak rudely, ask for the impossible, and go off on a part-timer?

No (spoken formally).

I... was just very hungry (formal).

I even wanted to let you know of a great place. Get out.

Get out, find another place or starve. You figure it out!

Since here we can't sell you chicken anyway.

This place is done for.

Since the boss is strange, only strange people come.

Oh?

Did you come to eat chicken by any chance?

Boss... I didn't kick out the customer, really.

I know. You still don't know how to fry chicken.

What are you doing? The customer's waiting.

Yes, I'm going.

Please enjoy.

He is our first customer.

Right.

Our chicken tastes alright, right? It has to be tasty. I'm nervous.

Well...

Chicken is all the same. Fried in oil.

You mean our fried chicken is just a dime a dozen?

What the heck did you do to the chicken?

How is this chicken?

Customer.

What seems to be the problem?

You were right. Rather than eating this, I would be better off starving.

No, that, I didn't quite go that far.

Customer, if you tell me what you don't like,

I will redo it right away.

If you have eyes, use them.

You serve something not fully cooked?

I'm sorry. I will fry another right away.

The fried chicken's here.

You overcooked it to the point even a fork can't penetrate it.

Again.

Again.

Again.

Can't you even do this right?

You just have to take them out at the right time.

Is it a failure again?

Even if you try a hundred more times, the result will be the same.

Compared to waiting for your chicken, it'll be faster if I fry my own chicken and go.

Are you alright, boss?

Customer, you can't just come in the kitchen.

You know how to make a frying mix, right?

Excuse me?

Such a nice chicken.

But customer, here—

Until when are you going to stand there? Hurry up and make the frying mix.

Ah, yes.

Andrew.

Andrew. Snap out of it. (in Itialian)

What is he doing?

What are the two of them doing?

I'm sorry, customer.

I will accept this money

when you are satisfied with our chicken.

Forget about it. I won't come here again.

Don't be like that.

Be sure to come again.

You don't have a good understanding of ingredients yet.

Boss, I wanted to tell you to avoid any misunderstandings.

I will choose to eat, rather than being starved.

Excuse me, boss. Shall we clean up now?

Don't worry, I will clean things up.

You can leave first.

I am tired.

But it's so late...

There's no way...

He wouldn't keep up his hobby until this late.

Okay.

Tomorrow I will hand out all the leftover flyers.

Yes! It's done!

DONE!

I did it! I made it!

I did it!

Bo Ah. It's done!

Try it.

Hurry.

Just try.

But it's the same chicken as yesterday.

Is it tasty?

Yes.

Try the chicken breast as well.

It's not dry?

Right. I didn't know this.

The cooking time for each part of the chicken is subtly different.

Longer for the leg and shorter for the breast.

I didn't even know this yesterday and cooked them all the same time in the oil.

But how did you figure it out?

I cooked each part for a different amount of time.

Because they all cook a different amount of time, the order is:

The Leg, Thigh, Wing and Breast

What?

In other words, you shouldn't put all of them into the oil at once.

You start with the leg.

And the breast is the very last.

If you calculate the times precisely,

each piece will be in its best state for the customer to taste.

Everyone should try it, but why don't we have any customers?

It seems like you have fun doing business,

despite having no customers.

Of course, I do it because I want to.

Ah, sure. You would like it.

Then I will distribute the rest of the flyers.

Hold on.

I thought about it all night

and I think I know why you made such a strange flyer.

If we make a flyer like everyone else does,

it won't be remembered and will just be thrown away.

Right, that's what I was saying.

Anyway, I'm off.

We can't.

It stays in the memory, but it's still a no.

Then what should we do?

Instead of that. Something that can't be thrown away.

Something that can't be forgotten. Don't we need something like that?

Refreshing Bath: Barun Chicken

It's really nice here.

Don't covet what's mine. I have no intention of yielding.

Don't worry.

I will patiently wait for a week as promised.

Who made such promise? Who?

Let's talk about that later, and start getting to work.

Canola Oil

Why did you prepare so much?

As expected, there is no middle ground for you.

Here.

Are you telling me to stir it?

Yup.

Yesterday I developed muscle pain in my legs because I had to pass those flyers around.

But today it seems like my arm will have muscle pain.

How can this part-time work in a chicken shop feel like a boot camp?

How much longer do we have to stir this?

Around 30 minutes?

What?!

The weather is quite hot for autumn. Still, isn't this fun?

Doesn't it seem like something is happening?

You find everything fun.

You have to stir this in one direction. Otherwise, it might not turn out so well.

I know.

I know. My arm is about to fall off since I have been stirring in one direction the whole time!

Yes, hello?

Hold on.

Excuse me, Bo Ah.

What is it?

I'm sorry, but apparently the liquor is being delivered.

I got it. Give it here.

I'm sorry. I'll be right back.

Thank you.

Hold on. Why am I working so diligently?

I'm not the housekeeper helping the lord with his holiday homework.

Go flop. Flop.

Turn into a mess!

Now it's done.

Well done.

Goodbye.

Thank you.

Wow.

Bo Ah.

Why are you only coming back now?

Whoa! It turned out great.

I think this is good enough. Should we try it now?

Yes.

Come on.

Stop spilling it. Do you know how hard it was to make it?

I'm sorry.

What are you doing here, Chairman Lee?

I was just walking by out front.

Are the stores over there cleaning up properly?

When should they clean up?

I think if they did it tomorrow evening, it would be too late.

I heard you clearly!

Shouldn't it be done now?

Just wait a bit more. If you don't want to ruin it at the end.

Alright.

Shall we just take a look?

Should we?

One, two, three.

Now!

It's really pretty.

Awesome.

Now it's like chicken legs.

How do people use this for washing laundry?

Why would you wash something pretty like this?

I shall bring this to a place so that it's well seen.

What do you think? If you get one, wouldn't you like to come to our store?

Well, it's just a washing soap. Why will people be tempted to come to our store with this?

But... can I take a few?

Sure.

It looks really just like chicken legs.

Mine looks more like real chicken legs, right?

Nonsense. Mine looks way more like them.

Isn't this one better?

Mine is better in size.

Try. Try. Try.

Me too.

Kids.

Take one.

Looks tasty.

Whoa.

- Me too.
- What is this?

I bet it'll be tasty.

You can't eat it.

This is not chicken, it's washing soap.

Top notch, right?

Where did you get it?

Where do you think? I made it.

It was supposed to be for the chicken place's PR, but I took some to share.

But Bo Ah, you look really excited?

No, as if!

I'm having a really hard time these days. Legs, shoulders, waist and arms.

There's nothing that doesn't ache. It's just exhausting manual labor.

Right? And here I thought...

I found out something useful for you,

but I was wondering if now it had become useless.

What is it?

Someone just came by.

He said, "All the stores in this area should clean their kitchen by tonight."

He said those precious words and left.

What? Who is it? He is so nosy.

- The food safety inspection is happening tomorrow?
- Yes.

Grandpa told me to tell every single restaurant.

So I skipped over the chicken place.

Nothing much to it then.

Got it. I will tell him.

How frustrating.

You should just keep your mouth shut about it.

Then, your boss will face the food safety inspection with no preparation.

There is no chance.

There are no customers, I swept and cleaned the place and it hasn't been long since the opening.

Point is, it's extremely clean.

It doesn't seem like it.

Do you think that simply cleaning it is fine?

Do you have a lid on your trash can?

Maybe?

Everything like that has to be there. The floor has to be...

They are very uptight.

If a beginner faces them with no preparation, something will be wrong.

One hundred percent!

Even then, it's too clean.

Then do something! Put something dirty on the floors!

Something that won't be obvious to the boss, but will definitely be inspected.

Like the kitchen ducts!

Right.

Anyway, a fine is to be expected.

And if it's bad, it might even come to a suspension of business.

Even if others don't know, you and I do.

Let us go.

- Do you know the chicken guessing contest?
- We will start now!

Let's say you win 1st, and go on the news, and the store gets famous.

What do I do?

You should be more confident.

The first one is...

♫ Will you be my one and only universe? ♫

♫ Will you be my one and only universe? ♫

♫ So a pretty flower that resembles you ♫

♫ Can bloom the cracks of my heart ♫

♫ You probably don’t know ♫

♫ but you’ve become the world to someone ♫

♫ Even my smallest wish has become you ♫

♫ Even my smallest wish has become you ♫

♫ Baby I need your love ♫

♫ Will you follow the clock hands and come here? ♫

♫ Will you follow the clock hands and come here? ♫

♫ Into this picturesque scene where your breath touches ♫

♫ Into our own time ♫

♫ Into this picturesque scene where your breath touches ♫
