THE PRACTICAL GUIDE TO LOVE

Isn't the ice cream so sweet?

It's my favorite.

Yeah, even the ice cream's sweet.

I still can't believe it.

I like you, and you like me back.

What are the chances, really?

I know, right? It's so cool.

I'll...

remember this day for a long time.

If we ever get disappointed in or mad at each other

let's remind ourselves of today.

Let's think about the astronomical odds we beat to get here and get through it.

Okay.

But I'll be so good to you that you won't even have to think that.

Do you want to walk more until we finish this?

Sounds good.

You should go home now.

We're going to stay out all night at this rate.

It already feels like it's getting brighter.

You think so?

Everything goes by so quickly when I'm with you.

So, what are you doing tomorrow?

Tomorrow?

Nothing much.

I usually do nothing and recharge on Sundays.

Do you want to do nothing with me

tomorrow at my house?

At your house?

Yeah.

Sure, I'll come to your place around lunch tomorrow.

Maybe 1 p.m.?

Come at noon. I'll cook for you.

I can't wait!

Don't set your expectations too high.

Bye, then.

See you tomorrow. No.

See you real soon.

I can't believe it.

THE PRACTICAL GUIDE TO LOVE EPISODE 9

That night

I couldn't stop thinking about how cruel love can be.

Could you give this to her for me?

She lives here. Her name is Lee Ui-yeong.

I remember you from last time.

Why don't you give it to her yourself?

Please help me.

Oh, sure.

Love makes us burn with passion

only to lead us to a dead end.

It teaches us the joy of being with someone else

only to have every little thing make us anxious

that it won't last.

I really wanted to do well this time.

TIME'S UP

Maybe that's why

it felt so miraculous that we felt the same way

at the same time.

Love will always be cruel

but I know I'm stronger.

I'll be good to her.

It's better to stick to a recipe I know will work.

Oh, it's Tae-seop!

Huh?

- Hi, Mother. - Hey, Tae-seop!

I'm trying to make tteokbokki at home.

What's your recipe for the sauce?

Tteokbokki?

Oh, is Sua coming over?

You want the milder version, then?

No, the spicy version for adults.

For adults...

Oh! Are you...

cooking for that lady?

Yeah.

We're dating now.

They're dating now!

Okay, let me give you the spiciest recipe!

You know how I made your dad fall for me with my cooking!

I knew I couldn't promise you

a queen's life without chores after I had your food.

Well, I hope it works for me, too.

Of course!

Start taking notes.

Gochujang, chili powder, sugar, and MSG.

Don't forget minced garlic and scallions.

Oh, and canola oil!

Canola oil?

Oh, yeah, that's the secret of every tteokbokki master.

That brings all the flavors together.

How much do I add of each thing?

Yeah, anything's possible.

I need matching lingerie.

What would be the best?

Mom!

Mom! Have you seen my light blue blouse?

Yeah, that!

Oh, gosh! What was that about? My hair!

Make me some ramyeon. With an egg.

- Now? - Yeah.

I'm heading out for lunch.

I'll heat the water for you.

Next time, okay? Sorry, and thanks.

She looks like a kid who's about to go on a field trip.

Is she seeing someone?

- Excuse me! - Hello.

Yeah, that's you.

The tall young guy left this with me last night.

It's yours, right?

Oh, yeah, it is. Thank you.

Make sure to let him know you got it.

Okay.

Hey, Ji-su.

Thanks for returning the cardigan to me.

Did you get home safely last night?

Thanks for the cardigan.

- Ta-da. Congratulations - Hm?

you finally have a girlfriend.

Thanks, I'll take good care of them.

It smells amazing.

I can't wait!

Some scallions and eomuk.

That's how you make your tteokbokki.

Every household has a different style.

How does your family cook it?

My family?

Our style is not having a style.

Hmm?

My mom was always so busy, we just bought it from different shops.

So, we don't have a go-to recipe for kimchi jjigae, either.

I see.

Oh! Can you add all the eomuk?

You want more?

- You like eomuk. - This looks amazing!

Here.

- Try some. - Okay.

I'll start with the tteok.

How is it?

- It's amazing! - Is it?

I'm so glad.

I'll try the eomuk now.

Gosh, you were so pale

and so tiny!

How did such a tiny person grow so big?

I hit a growth spurt in 11th grade.

I see.

I see your parents!

How come you don't have any photos from when you were in school?

Oh, that was when my father's company went bankrupt

and he opened the restaurant with Mom.

I see.

Was that the time you didn't have a dining table at home?

Yeah.

Here.

My dad's really clever.

It was a stressful time for everyone

so he thought it'd be a great idea to sell spicy chicken feet

in an area full of stressed office workers.

He entirely relied on my mom's cooking.

I see.

It must've been tough to sell chicken feet

at their very first restaurant.

Whenever they got tired

they leaned on each other to stay strong.

I see

why you think getting married is so natural.

- This is my first time telling you this. - Yeah?

My parents separated years ago.

I see.

It's their personalities. They're too different.

Maybe that's why

but thinking about getting married seems like none of my business.

And it also makes dating harder for me.

It's like tteokbokki and kimchi jjigae. I don't know what to look for.

But that's okay.

Do what you did earlier.

You can add extra eomuk and whatever you like.

Let's build a relationship the way we want.

Sounds good.

Oh, then...

- Since we're dating now... - Yeah?

This.

Can you give this to me?

I don't know. I don't have many photos where I look that cute.

What?

All of these photos are so cute!

Okay, bring a cute baby photo of you next time.

Let's exchange them.

- Does it have to be just as cute? - Of course.

Not sure if I have any.

It won't be easy to find one.

Oh?

- Just a sec. - Okay.

Hello? Hey, I'm...

Ui-yeong!

What? Are you crying?

Can you come over to my place right now?

Right now?

She meant it...

She did not...

Of course, she meant it!

She got her fingers dirty to rip the skin off for me...

Man, you're an idiot!

You're so stupid!

You're such a chicken!

Seung-jun!

Yeah, that's me...

How much did you drink?

Who are you?

Oh, he's my boyfriend.

I was with him when you called.

- Say hi. - Hello, I'm Song Tae-seop.

- Say hi. - Your boyfriend?

I see...

Hello, I'm Lim Seung-jun.

- Nice to meet you. - Yeah.

My Ui-yeong finally has a boyfriend!

Even she has a boyfriend...

What about me?

What about me?

What are you doing? We're in public!

Let's head out. Come on.

I'll take him.

Please get up.

Watch your step.

I'm sorry!

- Gosh. - Be careful.

Oh, goodness.

That moron!

You okay?

How much did you drink?

- You're ridiculous. - Lie down first.

Oh.

- Seriously. - Take this.

You're so nice for someone I just met.

You know

she needs a lot more care than most people.

She's a handful and then some.

Yeah? That's cute.

You know, you've been a handful, too.

Sorry.

Why didn't you tell me sooner?

Why would you go this far?

You were too busy talking about yourself.

Were you even curious about how I've been doing?

We can't just assume

people on dating apps are less serious than those on blind dates.

I can testify to that.

You know how many weirdos go on blind dates?

You want me to remind you of all my bad dates?

So, how many blind dates have you been on?

Just a few.

Just tell her you were too close-minded

and apologize for saying those on apps aren't serious.

And explain that you were just scared!

No, I can't.

Why not?

She blocked me.

She blocked you?

She didn't have to go that far.

Hey, forget it. You can't date someone like that.

She'd always make you anxious if you dated her.

Just get over her.

Get over her, okay?

You will, right?

Answer me!

Seriously.

Stop crying.

Gosh, Seung-jun.

Seung-jun played basketball back in the day.

- But he had to quit after a major injury. - I see.

So, it took a lot of hard work to open that gym.

He may seem strong on the outside

but I know his heart is so fragile.

So, I just always wish he'd take the easy way.

But you'll be there for him whenever he needs your help.

Of course, that's my job.

Sorry for dragging you into this mess today.

No, we ate tteokbokki and met your friend.

It feels like we've gotten closer, so I'm happy.

I feel the same.

Staying home was even better than a staycation at a hotel.

Do you like hotel staycations?

Yeah, it's also a good chance to learn about other hotels.

- I see. - Do you want to go sometime...

Let's go together sometime.

Whenever you want.

Sounds good.

How's work these days? Are you busy?

I'll be busy for a while because of the exhibition.

I see.

When can we meet next...

- Saturday. - Saturday?

That way, we can hang out late.

Oh, that's true.

This is great.

Have a good day.

Happy Monday!

HAVE A GOOD DAY. HAPPY MONDAY!

Why do we have to change the gift set that has no problems?

They really don't care

about all the time we have to spend to visit the producers!

Do you think there was an issue with the quality?

Not at all! We have such high standards!

Whatever, Mr. Oh will take care of it.

He hates extra work more than anyone.

Why are you so tired? We haven't even had the meeting.

Sorry?

I have a lot going on in my life.

What happened? Oh!

You want some?

Oh?

Didn't I get this for you last time?

Yeah, this kept me going until the end of the day.

- Take one and feel better. - You're the best.

What is it? Give me one.

Here, have one.

I'm already so exhausted.

- Let's go! - Okay, let's go.

Right on.

Our gift set isn't competitive in the market

especially with online markets offering

high-quality produce.

That's why we want to make a new gift set.

It feels like food trends come and go even more quickly now.

Even trending tteokbokki and pasta recipes

on social media platforms

- change so often. - Yeah.

But do we really need to keep up with every trend?

We're a hotel, after all.

- Don't you agree? - Hmm?

Oh, sure.

Yeah, we can't follow every trend.

But shouldn't we change something if the sales are dropping?

Can't Marketing change its approach to increase the sales?

I've done some thinking

and have you heard of the project, "Ark of Taste"?

- "Ark"? - "Ark of Taste"?

No, I've never heard of it.

It's a project aimed to preserve food varieties.

Its list includes a few Korean items, too.

You came so prepared.

Let's see.

It fits the values the hotel promotes

and it should also interest people looking to spend their money meaningfully.

This is going to be really hard.

We'll have to travel all over the country!

I guess we'll really prove ourselves

if we pull off such a complicated project.

Right?

CONFERENCE ROOM

The Senior Managing Director is really looking forward to it.

As you know, he likes to buy a bunch for his friends and family.

This is a good chance for us.

Let's do well and impress Management.

- Let's do that. - Got it.

Alright.

How are you going to find producers?

I'll make a list of products we can get from our current suppliers first.

I'll call the suppliers, then.

And we'll need to travel to find new suppliers for the others.

We can go to the market together.

Sure.

Good luck, everyone.

- Okay. - Good work.

HAVE A GOOD DAY. HAPPY MONDAY!

Are you that happy?

Not even Sua thinks so much about what each emoji means.

Why not? It's great. She sent me a heart.

Stars can be interpreted in so many ways

but not a heart. That's just love.

Enjoy it while you can.

I'm so happy as your friend that you're dating her now

but as your co-CEO, I'll have to ask you to select the pieces

for the exhibition before I throw your phone away.

I was getting on that, okay?

EXHIBITION PROPOSAL FOR FINDING DAILY HARMONY

PURPOSE OF THE EXHIBITION

THE EXHIBITION STRIVES TO CONNECT DESIGNERS' PHILOSOPHIES TO LIVING OBJECTS

OUR LIVES ARE FILLED WITH HARMONIES OF DIFFERENT RHYTHMS AND SENSES

What's so hard about this?

Everything's up to you.

That's why it's harder. Because there's no set client.

Watch your step.

- We're turning a corner. - Yes.

Go straight.

This way.

- What are they doing? - No idea.

Okay.

Put your hand down, and open your eyes.

- Ta-da! - Ta-da!

Wait! Is this my chair?

Really?

Yeah, you can even write your name.

We'll send it to your home.

A comfortable seat you can stay in for hours

and a backrest that supports your back perfectly!

Give it a try. Chairs feel different when you sit on them.

It's so cushy!

I love it so much!

This is the best present I've ever gotten.

- Really? - Really?

The gift givers seem even happier than the recipient.

That's how gifts work.

No, you wouldn't know that.

You only ever make things for your clients

and give your parents the ones with flaws or mistakes.

You've never made anything for anyone as a gift, have you?

Yeah, I've never done that.

I've never felt that feeling.

This is a perfect chance to get me a gift, then.

No.

No, right?

No. Hey, you like the chair?

THESE DESIGNS WILL BE MORE THAN OBJECTS. THEY WILL SPARK EMPATHY AND INTERACTIONS

I'm glad you got your idea.

So, what are you building?

I'll tell you later.

I think I'll have a chance to show it to you.

- Are you heading home after dinner? - Yeah.

Hyun-min's been feeling down all day, and I'm worried.

I want to get her some good food.

Don't forget your dinner.

Okay, enjoy your dinner.

Okay.

A SEAT FOR LOVERS THAT FEELS WARM AND AFFECTIONATE

SOMETHING THAT WILL MOLD TO THE BODY OVER TIME...

HONEST AND COMFORTABLE

Hey, sorry.

Order whatever you want. It's on me.

- Really? - Yeah!

- I'm getting drinks, then. - Sure.

Excuse me! A bottle of Baijiu, please!

Okay.

Why were you in the bathroom for so long?

Is something wrong?

No, I was just on the phone

with Tae-seop.

What's there to talk about when the project's over?

Well...

Oh!

Oh!

I'm dating him now.

Since the farewell party.

No way! Did you two meet that night?

Yeah, I was so late that I wasn't sure if he'd still be there

but there he was, dozing off while waiting for me.

Isn't that so funny?

Sure.

As long as he makes you laugh, that's great.

Congratulations, Ui-yeong!

Thanks.

I can't believe all those blind dates are finally over.

I know!

Congratulations!

Our drink is here.

Thank you.

This calls for a celebration shot.

Sure.

Thank you.

Gosh, I'm stuffed.

So, how do you

- do it? - What?

Build a close relationship based on trust?

Trust?

Trust just comes naturally when you spend time together.

They say it's different dating someone and marrying someone.

It seems like guys date certain women, then marry other women.

That's just what they all say.

How can you predetermine where your relationship is going

before dating someone?

But guys do that.

What? Did someone say something to you? Who was it?

I recently met a guy on an app.

- That dating app? - No!

It wasn't a dating app!

Soonmu Market.

Soonmu?

Oh.

I guess a lot of people meet people on it nowadays.

Excuse me! We'll get one more bottle Baijiu!

- Okay. - Hurry.

Are you okay?

- Are you done? - Yeah.

Is it really bad?

I shouldn't have let you drink so much.

Get in bed first.

Seriously.

Hyun-min, I've known you long enough.

I know you're different

but you're not the type to betray anyone.

If a man can't see that, just let him go. You got that?

He's already gone.

- I'm taking a day off tomorrow. - Okay.

Feel better.

I'll leave some water and a hangover cure. Take it, okay?

Alright...

Gosh, she's been drinking so much.

You're so stupid! You're such a chicken!

It seems like guys date certain women, then marry other women.

I got the series second-hand over the weekend.

You know the girl I sold my comics to?

Hey, forget it. You can't date someone like that.

She'd always make you anxious if you dated her.

I recently met a guy on an app.

Soonmu Market.

You know the girl I sold my comics to?

DEUKGEUN DEUKGEUN GYM

I'm home.

Hey.

Mom.

Why is the world so small?

- Why? - I think my friend and my coworker...

have a thing going on.

Who? Seung-jun?

Did you set them up?

No.

I think I actually might've gotten in their way.

What?

I know you're close to them, but you're not in this relationship.

Don't get involved, okay?

Maybe they didn't tell you because they weren't serious.

Yeah, this is between them.

It's not like I can fix anything by getting involved.

We got the other items sorted

so we just need to find tiger cattle beef.

Alright, let's go.

One person at this big market has to know a local tiger cattle farmer.

- First... - Let's see.

Should we start from here?

Okay.

- Hello. - Hello.

- Do you sell tiger cattle beef? - No.

- Do you know anyone who does? - Not at this market.

MEAT FROM FEMALE KOREAN COWS

- Hello! - Hello.

Do you sell tiger cattle beef here?

No, we don't.

- Really? - No.

- Thank you, have a good day. - Bye.

LIST OF BUTCHERS

- Hello, sir. - Hi.

Do you know a tiger cattle farmer?

- No, I don't. - No?

Thank you.

That's a no.

We don't sell it.

Okay, thank you. Have a good day.

- Did you find any? - No.

Let's check the rest.

- I'll go this way, then. - I'll text you.

We don't sell it.

Okay, thank you.

LIST OF BUTCHERS

We've checked almost every shop.

I know. Why is it so hard to find?

It says there's a butcher shop here.

Really? I thought I just saw an herb shop.

Let me go to Mr. Shin's shop before it closes, then.

- Call me if you find anything. - Okay.

OREUM BUTCHER SHOP

Hello, sir.

I'm from The Hills Hotel.

- You want anything? - No, not now.

I just wanted to ask if you know of a tiger cattle farm.

Tiger cattle? Let's see.

I can't remember if Mr. Choi raises tiger cattle or black cows.

Do you know someone? Where is his farm?

It's somewhere in Gangwon-do or Gyeongsango-do.

I suddenly can't remember it.

Maybe it's because I haven't made a lot of sales today.

Oh, gosh, silly me.

I want to get some Korean beef to grill.

I'll take three pounds

of the best part. Maybe that'll help you remember.

I'm not sure if I'll remember.

Here's three pounds of sirloin and his number.

Thank you so much! You saved my life.

No, it's nothing.

By the way, Mr. Choi can be a real Grinch.

I'm not sure if he'll get along with you two.

What's wrong? Are you worried about what he said?

Yeah, we have a lot to discuss. His personality matters.

That's true, but you can't raise a rare breed if you're easygoing.

He has the upper hand in this deal, so we'll just have to go along with him.

I know, but...

Don't worry about it.

I'll arrange the meeting

and be in charge of all communications.

Okay.

By the way, you look really happy these days.

- Do I? - Yeah.

I don't know why I feel so motivated at my job lately.

But we have to head back and wrap it up.

Let's get some coffee and head back.

- Oh, I... - Come on!

It's on me.

- "This is..." - We need some coffee.

Choose what you want.

- Hey. - Here you go.

- Okay. - Wait.

I have to take this call.

I'll get an iced Americano.

- Hello. - Hey

I'll get two iced Americanos to go.

Okay.

Here.

Thanks.

How have you been?

Did you go home safely that day?

Yeah, that was days ago.

How do you think I've been?

Oh, sorry.

No need to be sorry. You just followed your heart.

I've been busy lately. I had no time to be sad.

So, did you land a role after that audition?

Yeah, I think so.

That's so great.

And you? Are you dating Tae-seop now?

Yeah, we're dating now.

- That's why you haven't been here? - Hmm?

Did he tell you not to come here

or are you giving me space to get closure?

Nothing has to change.

We're just back to being friends.

It's not like we broke up after dating.

Don't be so old-fashioned. Times have changed.

I promise not to cross the line.

I won't bother you.

All good now?

Okay, then.

Yeah.

Is the coffee ready?

Yeah.

- See you around. - Bye.

So, we've decided to give you the role, Ji-su.

Mr. Shin?

Oh, thank you for the opportunity.

Oh, hello.

I didn't know Ji-su was here.

Is this a surprise?

I don't like surprises.

Oh, I caught you off-guard. Sorry.

Have a seat.

I guess you don't talk about acting with your mother at all.

Why not?

Right.

What's so surprising?

Do you talk about directing with your mother?

I see what you mean now that you've put it that way.

I've built my acting career by myself

and I plan on continuing to do so.

We're not related by blood

but he's just like me, straightforward.

Don't tell me you hired Ji-su

because I'm reviewing your next project.

Not at all.

He fit the role best.

I shouldn't have been invited, then.

People will get the wrong idea.

And it's Ji-su's first drama.

I'm sure he'd rather talk to you in private.

He really doesn't understand actors.

I guess so.

Let me know anytime you want to talk to me.

Okay, thank you.

I was going to pay for dinner.

I hope you enjoy my script.

I'll enjoy it if it's good.

Your car's waiting. You should go.

I need to talk to Ji-su.

Okay, goodnight.

See you on the set, Ji-su.

Okay, goodnight.

I'll do my best to prevent these meetings from happening

but we can't avoid them completely if we're in the same field.

I'm aware of that.

Take advantage of it next time.

I'm glad you could keep calm.

You did the same. You stayed calm.

It's nothing.

Congratulations on your new role.

I'll see how you do on TV.

Bye.

Did you get some rest?

Yeah, I feel a lot better now.

I can't let a man make me have regrets.

I've even put the comics back on sale on Soonmu Market.

I guess you're really over him.

It's not like I didn't try.

I had to block him in fear that I'd drunk-call him.

So, you blocked him because you were worried you'd call him?

I also didn't want to get my hopes up and have him not call me.

It was for both reasons.

No, mind your own business.

You're not a part of this situation. Leave it to the two.

DEUKGEUN DEUKGEUN GYM

Seung-jun!

What?

Tell me. Hyun...

No, the Soonmu Market girl. Do you still like her?

Why are you suddenly asking me that?

Just tell me! Do you like her or not?

I do! How can I stop liking her just overnight?

You know I'm not that cool.

I'm glad.

Come with me.

Is this her?

Yeah, it is. Our memories!

She's really ready to move on!

Pull yourself together!

Why do you think she's selling them?

Because she's trying to get over you!

Get some money ready.

I'll buy them.

I'll buy the comics and everything else you're selling.

Can we meet somewhere?

How did you know it was her?

Huh? Well, I...

I'll tell you once things work out, okay?

She must've gotten home hours ago.

UI-YEONG

Oh!

Where are you? Why didn't you read my messages?

I met Seung-jun after work.

Oh, Seung-jun?

Then...

- what about me? - What?

Didn't you miss me?

I missed you.

Say that again.

What a nice thing to hear.

I miss you, Ui-yeong.

Come and see me.

Did all your employees go home?

Yeah.

So, this is what your office looks like.

It's stunning.

This is where we work on documents

design things, and have meetings.

Over here. This is my desk.

I see. That's the best spot.

It seems like such a chill office.

We have to air it out often because we have a lot of sawdust.

- I see. - And this is the woodworking workshop.

The workshop?

You might get splinters, as it's not processed.

I see.

It's too dangerous. Here.

There are so many interesting tools.

This is the table saw for cutting blocks.

Table saw?

And this is a band saw.

A band saw.

And this is a drilling machine for drilling holes.

A drilling machine.

I can't remember that. It's too hard.

Oh, can you help me with something since you're already here?

What is it?

I need measurements for a sample chair to submit for the exhibition.

I feel like I'm giving too many details about me.

No, I still have a long way to go.

I want to know you more.

I don't think we should just meet on weekends. I'm too busy.

Let's just meet whenever we want.

That sounds like a plan.

Mr. Song!

Mr. Song? Did he go home?

Man, we got you snacks.

That leaves us with no choice.

We'll need some beer if he's not here.

Jin-su, get some from the store!

Okay, you like beer, right?

Are we allowed to drink?

Of course not.

Mr. Song lets us do anything here

but drink or date. Those are non-negotiables.

Why? Because it's too thrilling that you get hot.

It's dangerous.

- Cheers! - Cheers!

It's extra good today.

This is the best!

- Let's dig in. - Dig in!

My legs hurt.

- Your legs? - Yeah, hold on.

What was that?

Who's there?

- That's scary. - Who's there?

Bo-yoon...

Where are you going? Sae-byeok?

Darn it.

Huh?

- Jin-su. - Yeah?

Go.

Darn it!

Come out!

I'm calling the cops!

We have weapons!

You'd better come out in three.

One.

Two.

Three!

Hey, guys.

What are you doing there?

- Huh? - Gosh, my legs.

Oh, hi.

Huh? Ui-yeong!

Hi, Sae-byeok.

It's great seeing you fitting in so well

at your new job.

What are you two doing here?

We...

We're dating.

Ui-yeong and Mr. Song?

You said no dating in office!

That's too dangerous!

You guys are drinking here, too! That's also dangerous.

Huh?

Congratulations.

Ms. Big Discounts?

Mr. Choco Killer?

Choco...

I knew it.

You don't even eat chocolate! How are you "Choco Killer"?

Using someone else's account

can get you banned from the app for life. You know that?

No, I don't. Report me if you want.

Soonmu Market just reminds me of you, anyway.

I'll delete my account and delete the app.

After this deal.

It's 50,000 won. The deal's done. Give me the money.

Not just like this.

Make another bet with me.

If you beat me, you get 100,000 won.

No, I'll give you 150,000 won.

You think we're at a market? Forget it.

How much more do I need to pay for you to take it?

What if you win?

I know you're trying to get something out of this.

Just...

hear me out.

That's all I need.

I was too embarrassed to say this

but I was on the basketball team.

I was training to go pro until college

but had to quit after a crucifix injury.

That was when I started being so careful, mentally and physically.

That was why I easily assumed things about you.

I was afraid I'd get hurt, so I hurt you first.

I'm sorry.

I'm only supposed to hear you out if you win.

Tell me after you win.

I can't hear you!

Come on. Go.

TIME'S UP

The moment you give up, the game's over.

I really like you.

I really wanted to tell you this.

Was the trip here okay?

- It was okay. - Here.

Hello.

- He's here. - Hello.

Nice to meet you.

IDAE FARM'S SPECIAL STRATEGY WITH THE SPECIAL TIGER CATTLES

This is amazing.

I know!

My tiger cattles are bred

with the healthiest cows from all over the country

directly at the farm.

I raise each one with love, like it's my own child.

We'll make sure to treat your precious tiger cattles well.

As you should!

You know, miss

your beautiful, sparkly eyes

look just like my tiger cattles' eyes!

Your tiger cattles?

I see the resemblance.

That's a first for me. Thank you.

I'm really thirsty. Is there anything to drink?

Something sweet.

I'll get some juice, then.

We'll get some cookies, too.

- We'll be right back. - I feel bad now.

We should've prepared some in advance. We're sorry.

He's not grumpy at all.

I know!

I'm so glad.

- Hey - Yes?

I'm looking for a long-term partner whom I can trust.

We're looking for the same.

We can start with this project

and build a long-term partnership.

- By the way - Yes?

you know the lady with the bright eyes?

Bright eyes?

Oh, yes.

Does she have a boyfriend?

Why are you asking that?

My youngest son is single

because he only ever cares about our tiger cattles.

He hasn't dated anyone in forever.

It'd be nice to get the youngsters to talk business

and maybe bond over talks about life.

There's no partnership

stronger and more solid than that!

Oh, I see.

That's what you mean by a partnership.

Okay.

Damn it.

Things went so smoothly.

I'll take care of discussing the details and signing the contract...

No, that's okay.

Let's have Ui-yeong do it.

- Sorry? - Hmm?

But Na-ri found the farm

arranged the meeting, and did the research.

I know

but just do it, okay?

We need to work on the recipes, too

and I know Chef Park trusts you.

- But... - And Na-ri

- good work. - Mr. Oh!

Why am I always tired these days? Maybe I have a bad liver.

So, I'll have to meet them tomorrow after work.

But Na-ri won't hand over anything.

She must be really disappointed.

It won't be easy to start from scratch and be ready in a day.

But I feel better after telling you this.

Even though nothing's sorted.

You can tell me anything anytime.

Oh, why don't I pick you up after work tomorrow?

No, I don't even know when I'll be done.

Let's just meet on the weekend.

Are you working until late today?

Yeah, but it's not so bad now that I've delegated the work.

I'll call you again when I get home.

Okay.

HANKUK UNIVERSITY HOSPITAL

HANKUK UNIVERSITY HOSPITAL DIRECTOR INAUGURATION CEREMONY

Hello.

Congratulations.

Thank you.

- It's an honor to meet you. - I'm flattered. Thank you.

It's so exciting

to be able to introduce you as my wife to everyone.

I'm not good at being a wife.

I'm just here to congratulate you, too.

I know.

- That was why I invited you. - Hmm?

I saw how good you were at applauding

at that awards ceremony.

Next, we'll award Dr. Shin with an appreciation plaque

and hear his inauguration speech as the new Director.

Dear distinguished colleagues

I will bear my position as the Director of HKUH with great weight.

Moreover, I'll sacrifice myself to make HKUK a leader of medicine.

All of you have made great contribution

to build the hospital's reputation and value.

I'll do my best as the Director to keep up the reputation and value.

Thank you.

One, two, three.

One more.

One, two, three.

- Thank you. - Thank you.

You're even more beautiful in person!

Hello.

I hear you were his patient, and that was how you met.

And you traveled to Cannes together.

It was a coincidence.

We're doctors, too. How come we don't meet celebrities?

He's just another doctor, like you.

Did you two get close in Cannes?

Well, you know...

See you around.

Please help Dr. Shin with his new position.

Thank you.

So, they didn't meet at the hospital, but it was still an affair.

It's even worse, consdering how his wife was almost dying.

Who doesn't know about him

ignoring calls from the hospital and his son when he went to France?

I know, right?

How can someone be so cruel?

You really can't trust anyone, huh?

Hello.

Ui-yeong!

- Oh, hello. - Hi.

You look great today.

Really? Thanks.

I know you've gone on a lot of blind dates lately.

- Yeah. - But as you know

blind dates are good experience, even if things don't work out.

And sometimes, you get lucky and find a good one.

- I guess so. - Yeah.

I booked a table at Harrod in Cheongdam. Take the card.

Order whatever you want with it, okay?

So, Mr. Choi's youngest son is coming?

And he butchers tiger cattles?

He should be around your age, considering Mr. Choi's age.

He basically runs a moo-d-sized company

with all those expensive cows running around in that big farm.

So funny.

- Anyway, good luck. - Sure.

Moo-d-sized...

Na-ri.

Here.

What is it?

All the docs for today's meeting.

I'll do my best not to ruin all the hard work you put in

and make sure the meeting goes well.

Okay.

Mr. Oh, can I see you at the cafe by the hotel after work?

- Here you go. - Thanks.

What did you want to talk about?

I'm so mad.

- Hmm? - I know Ui-yeong is good.

She motivates me, too.

But you went too far with this project!

You know I worked late nights for days for this!

I know. I really do. Who doesn't?

I know you worked hard on it.

Why did you do this, then?

I know I can do well.

I can go to the meeting right now...

Hey! Stop it.

A no is a no! Don't be like that.

Stay still if you don't want to ruin it, okay?

Why? At least tell me why!

You have...

a family!

Whatever! I'm going home.

- Whatever. - Myeong-un!

The more I think about it, the worse it gets.

Sure, I've skipped a few site visits

by using my family and in-laws as an excuse.

But I've worked here for long enough to do that.

How can he throw me out of a project just for that?

Because I have a family?

How does that make any sense?

It's so odd for him to stop you from trying to work harder.

When's the meeting?

I'm sure she's on her way now.

They're meeting at Harrod in Cheongdam or something.

People have work meetings at such places?

Why? Do you know the place?

Yeah, I used to work there.

It's not really a business meeting vibe.

It's a famous spot in the area for blind dates.

Hold up.

Mr. Choi's son is coming to the meeting.

I can't go as a married woman... No way.

- A blind date? - A blind date?

Are you Ms. Lee Ui-yeong?

Are you Mr. Choi's youngest son?

- Yeah. - Hello.

I'm Lee Ui-yeong from Purchasing at The Hills Hotel.

Oh, a business card.

- I'm Choi U-jun. - I see.

The traffic on the way was terrible!

It was a long drive, right?

It's fine.

Should we head in?

- Oh, sure. - Okay.

This is perfect. I was getting hungry.

Would you like to have dinner?

Yeah, a dinner.

Okay.

The menu's hard to read.

Please order some good meat for me.

Oh, sure. Meat.

Excuse me.

We'll take two steaks, please.

Okay, how would you like them cooked?

If it's fresh, medium-rare. If not, medium.

Oh, and wine! You want wine? We'll take two.

Okay, we'll get them ready soon.

Thank you.

- What should we do? - The device you’re trying to reach...

I can't reach Mr. Oh or Ui-yeong.

Hello?

Hey, honey.

Are you off now?

Yeah, I'll be home soon. Bye.

I'd better get going.

I'll keep calling her when I get home.

- She'll pick up eventually. - Okay.

My gosh.

- Hello. - Hello.

- Is everything good? - Actually, something urgent came up.

Can I go home a bit early?

Huh? Oh, sure.

- Thank you. - Okay.

My father said

your eyes resembled our cows' eyes at the farm.

He was right.

Everyone fights over those cows with bright eyes at the market.

Funny how you're still single, huh?

You think so?

Oh, this is the proposal from the hotel.

Oh.

Do I read it now?

ARK OF TASTE SELECTION: PROPOSAL FOR TIGER CATTLE BEEF SET

That's the first draft.

Idae Farm can decide on what's in the set and the quantities.

Oh, here comes our food! Why don't we eat first?

Sure.

Thank you.

This looks great!

Is this raw or something?

I can crush you.

I bet you didn't know I was a butcher, huh?

I guess it's my time to shine.

Sir...

You have to use this knife.

Oh!

I must look like such a country bumpkin in your eyes, huh?

Oh, not at all.

I also use scissors to eat meat at home.

You're a lot more chill than you seem!

Well, nice to meet you.

One more glass!

Hey! Don't be stingy. Fill the glass to the rim, alright?

Okay.

Hey!

Man, I'm getting hot!

If I drink more

we won't be able to talk business

- and I won't even manage to get home. - Hey...

Why are you so far away?

We, butchers

always end up arm wrestling in the middle of our shifts!

Our forearms are so strong that we can't stop ourselves.

Touch it.

What? No, thanks.

It's fine, I'm older! Go ahead.

I can tell by the look of it.

Don't be so shy.

I guess you haven't dated many men.

You're old enough to know everything.

It's not fun

when a woman keeps acting so innocent.

So, how many men have you dated?

Three? Four?

He's the worst of the worst.

Mr. Choi

Yeah?

this is a business meeting.

- Huh? - Please refrain from asking

unrelated questions.

Why do you keep talking about work all evening?

Just be good to me, go along with me

and all that business talk will go well!

Isn't that why you've been so nice to me all evening?

Let's just be honest, okay?

To be honest, the only reason I'm being cordial is

that I want to convince you to trust and respect the hotel.

I have no interest in building a personal relationship.

- Huh? - So, Mr. Choi

please get back to considering whether the deal can be profitable to you.

Instead of me.

You can read our proposal. I need to call my supervisor.

Hold on.

That's condescending of you.

Sit down.

Sit down right now!

You've had too much to drink.

Let's end the meeting here.

I'll call you another time.

Where the hell are you going?

That hurts! Let go!

You think you can just leave?

- Let go! It hurts! - No!

Tae-seop!

Who the hell are you?

Me? Her boyfriend.

THE PRACTICAL GUIDE TO LOVE

CONGRATULATIONS, YOU FINALLY HAVE A GIRLFRIEND

I REALLY LIKE YOU

TOO DANGEROUS

How did you know to come here?

Until the Disciplinary Committee decides what to do with Mr. Oh...

There's nothing to do.

You know things you've been putting off because you've been busy.

Do those, one by one.

It's for you.

I'm getting a divorce.

What?

You have to get back to work soon

so it'll be nice to go on a trip, even if it's short.

Dad!

Your father?
