All language subtitles for My Name Is Kim Sam Soon-Ep1

How dare you cheat on me?

I'll show you how horrifying the
consequences are when you insult me!

I'll kill you with
my own bare hands tonight!

I'm calling from room 1025.

Could you send up a bottle of
Chateau Laubaude 1974

and some dishes to go with it?

Thank you.

Who is it?

Room... service.

Wha...

What are you doing here?

Were you with another woman
last Christmas, too?

No... the company party.

What about the Christmas
the year before?

I was at my father's company
anniversary party then as well...

I can't help that it's on Christmas Eve.

Then why are you here now
and not at your father's party?

You must've forgotten
that it's Christmas Eve.

I hear that young people suffer
from dementia as well.

Didn't you always tell me
that catechin in green tea

is good for preventing dementia?

You should drink a lot of green tea
from now, you bastard!

- What's wrong with you?
- What's wrong with me?

Think of what you did, you bastard!

Sam-soon, you're not yourself
at the moment.

You're being irrational over
a small misunderstanding.

Calm down!

Compose yourself or you won't
be able to stop this violence.

Take a deep breath.

Follow me... Breath in... Breath out...

You're so pathetic, you bastard.

How can you use such foul language?

Don't you know that the language
you use reflects who you are

and how you live?

So if you keep on using
vulgar words like that...

Shut up, will you?

What happened to you?

Who made you to become so vulgar
and violent like this?

I'm going to kill you.

Excuse me.

If you're not going in,
could you step aside please?

Who is it?

Room service, Sir.

Ouch!

Oh no...

Sam-soon.

Get up.

Are you going to sleep here?
Get up. We should talk.

I can't get up.

Shall I help you get up?

I can't! I'm too
embarrassed, you bastard!

I'm so embarrassed.

When did you know?

About a month ago...

How did you find out?

I saw a message on your phone.

Did you trace the call, too?

But why didn't you say
anything for a month?

I didn't know how to bring it up...

You lied to me for a month.

You checked my phone
behind my back, traced my calls

and didn't give me the slightest hint.

You even followed me
all the way down here today.

What can a woman do when
her man seems to have changed, huh?

I know you've changed.

Your cell phone is always off,
you don't answer my calls,

never reply to my messages
and you don't even see me saying

that you're busy all the time.

And you got angry the last time that
I visited you without calling.

You used to like it
when I surprised you like that.

And today's Christmas Eve.

What am I supposed to do when you
leave me alone on a day like this, huh?

I'm just supposed to sit around
and wait for you to call?

- So do you feel betrayed?
- Yes.

- Do you resent me?
- Yes.

- I guess you can't trust me anymore.
- No kidding.

- Things can't be the same anymore.
- Of course.

Then, let's break up.

I didn't want to break up like this,
but I guess there's not much I can do.

I admit that I was indifferent
and inconsiderate.

I'm sorry. I don't want to make excuses.

Do you find me repulsive now?

- No.
- Then do you love her?

- No.
- Then why?

Tell me, you bastard!
Why are you breaking up with me?

I hope that you realize
that swearing at me just

because we're breaking up is irrational.

You used to like it!

You told me to swear as much as
I wanted, you bastard!

You said that it turned you on,
you bastard!

Lower your voice!
This isn't the Concorde Square!

I don't give a damn! Tell me why?
Tell me right now!

Everyone knows how intelligent
you are so don't use fancy words!

Don't use metaphors
or figures of speech!

Cut the crap about philosophy,
logic, and astronomy

and just tell it to me plain and simple!

I can't right now.

You're filled with hormones that
are making you violent and irrational.

Let's talk when we can behave
like two civilized people.

Sorry that I can't see you home.

Did you even love me?

For 3 years... You never once
told me that you loved me.

Did you ever love me?

I loved you.
I loved a girl with chubby cheeks...

I loved a girl that visited every bakery
in Paris with a dream

to become the world's best patissier.

I loved a girl that was ambitious,
passionate, and full of life

and who always smelled of sweets.

But that's as far as my love goes.

I can't explain to you
why my love ends there.

I'm sorry that that's
the extent of my love.

Hyun-woo, don't forget me.
I don't mind dying,

but I can't bear the thought of myself
being erased from your memory.

I wish for your happiness.

I love you, Hyun-woo... was
what you thought I'd say, right?

Ergh!

Look straight into my eyes.

I'm going to follow you wherever you go.

I'm going to show up in your dreams
every night and torment you.

Do you know how much I cried over you?

Well now, it's your turn.

It's your turn to cry.

I'll show you how painful
sleepless nights are.

Why didn't I think of this before?

You'll regret abandoning me
for the rest of your life.

You're asking me if this is love?

Well, I'm sorry, and goodbye.

I loved you like crazy,
once, you bastard!

What's the use?

You get caught up
in the daily chores of life

and you forget your parents
after they pass away.

Even married couples become
total strangers after a divorce.

What makes you so special that
I should hold on to you?

There was once a time when I felt like
the world revolved around me.

I felt like I was walking on air and

my stomach would always
be filled with butterflies.

I liked that feeling.

It was euphoria for
me to be able to love.

One man gave me such happiness
and then took it away.

I'm not crying because I lost him.

I'm crying because
I can no longer feel love.

I'm crying because
I've lost faith in love.

I'm crying because I've come
to realize that perhaps

love doesn't have much meaning at all.

It's taken.

It's taken.

It's taken.

Are you deaf? I said it's taken!

I just broke up with my boyfriend,
so give me a break, will you?

Leave me alone!

Damn it!

Gasp!

What do you think you're doing?

Are you a pervert?

Or are you breastfeeding
in the men's room?

If a man comes with another woman
on a day like this, then it's over.

Next time, don't confront him
and ask for an explanation.

Just give him a good kick
in the shin and end it.

There're plenty of men out in the world.

And they're all pretty much the same.

Of course, the same goes
for women as well...

I know you've changed.

You're cell is always turned off,
you don't answer my calls,

you never reply to my messages and

you don't even see me
saying that you're busy all the time.

Wow, how dull can she get?

Isn't it obvious
when a man doesn't answer your call?

Don't you agree?

You seem to enjoy the work
that you're doing now.

Who works because they enjoy it?

You've got to make a living, right?

I see. But when are you going
to take over the hotel?

I hear that your mother's
starting to lose patience.

Let's break up.

Looks like the guy is dumping her.

Do you find me repulsive?

Isn't it obvious?

Then do you love her?

That's really none of your business.

Then why?

You used to like it when I swore!

You told me to swear as much as
I wanted, you bastard!

You said that it turned you on,
you bastard!

You know what people say about you?

They say that you're rude,
cocky and arrogant.

If you don't want to go on blind dates,
settle it with your mother.

Don't waste other
people's time like this.

Did you ever love me?

For three years... you never
once told me that you loved me.

Good morning, Sir.

Good morning, Sir.

Good morning, Sir.

Good morning.

Good morning, Sir.

Good morning, Sir.

Good morning.

It's not a good morning
actually. Angri...

he left for Paris this morning.

His mother suddenly passed away
from a heart attack.

When is he coming back?

Well, that's the problem.
He's not coming back.

What are we going to do
about today's dinner?

Hello.

My name is Kim Sam-soon.

Yes, our manager's waiting for you.

Your father passed away.

And you're the youngest
of three sisters...

The only family asset
is the house you live in...

To whom is the ownership
directed towards?

Oh, the house...
It's under my mother's name.

Your mother... I see.

You graduated Soongyi Girls' High School

and you completed a course
at Le Colon Bleu...

What is this place?

It's a cooking school in Paris.

Its tradition goes back 100 years.

I completed the course in baking.

Whatever the case,
you're a high school graduate, right?

And your income... is zero.

Well, yes. I'm taking
a break at the moment.

But I'm a specialized cook,
so I won't have a problem finding a job.

Ms. Kim Sam-soon... Nice name.

What about plastic surgery?

I'm 100% natural.

What were you thinking!

How could you not get
plastic surgery with that face?

What? Who the hell do you think you are?

Well, you have to admit
you're not a great catch.

It's a movie titled Funny Pink.

There's a line in the movie.

It's easier to get hit by an atomic bomb
then to find a boyfriend at the age of 30.

I believe it's one of the
finest lines that a movie

has ever produced in the past 100 years.

No other line has described
an old maid better than this.

Go home, wash your feet
and watch this movie.

Don't even dream of getting married!

If they remade this movie today,
they would change the age 30 to 40.

Don't you know that these days 30
is the same as 20 in the past?

You should get your facts
straight before you talk!

That's only women's wishful thinking.

Men haven't changed much since 1988.

Women should be young and pretty!

Oh, really? Don't men age? Huh?

Don't you think it's pathetic
to meet young women

when all you've got to
show is your fat belly?

Have some dignity, will you? And what?

You think I'm fat? OK, so I'm fat.

I make chocolates and
cakes for a living!

No wonder I'm fat!

And you blame me for
being unemployed?

It's the people running this country
that put the economy in this state!

Huh?

After a short discussion,
we've come to a conclusion

that we should register you
as a special member.

What do you mean?

It means that we'll set you up on blind
dates until you finally meet your match.

Umm... But don't such conditions
require more money?

Of course. But marriage is
a life-altering decision.

It's worth the investment.

Well, how much is it?

It's nine hundred, and
ninety-nine dollars.

Oh... Oh... They're really out
to rip you off, aren't they?

Gosh...

What? They want me
to invest a thousand dollars

in a species that are
hopelessly immature?

Yeah, right! In your dreams!

You want to buy cakes
from the hotel bakery?

His mother suddenly passed away.

And it seems that
he won't be coming back.

He was pretty homesick
while he was here.

I'll just use the hotel bakery
until we find a new patissier.

Our bakery ranks within the top five.

That's in terms of
quality as well as price.

I'll have to bear with smaller margins
for the time being.

No French restaurant in this
country apart from those

at hotels uses a French chef.

No, there's one in Itaewon.

It's a small bistro, but the chef and
even all the assistants are French.

People in your business say that
they can't make ends meet like that.

But your using a French patissier
to bake just cakes and bread.

No wonder people are laughing at you.

What do you mean just cakes and bread?

That's like Kimchi in France.
I don't make fake food.

Stop being so arrogant!
You can't afford it!

Your net profit is way too low compared
to the amount of sales.

President Kim's granddaughter is
getting married next week.

With the eldest son of
Kiryong Construction.

It's the girl you turned down last year.

I don't have to go, do I?

When are you going to get married?

Mi-ju starts school next year.

She at least needs an aunt
to take her to school.

Don't worry. I'm going
to take care of her.

I'll take her to school,
participate in PTA meetings,

and do everything that
a mother's supposed to do.

So stop setting me up on blind dates.

Get married if you don't want
to go on blind dates.

I don't have much more time
before dinner. Get me the bread.

I told you before,
I can't help you if Chris says no.

Chris likes me.
Just give him a call, OK?

Oww!

You're a poor excuse for a son!

When are you going to get your act
straight? Come and work at the hotel!

Ouch...

What do you think people will say
when you run a small

French restaurant
when you're the only one

I have to take over my five star hotel?

That you rent rooms and I sell food.

What? How dare you speak
to your mother like that!

- You fool!
- Ouch.

You think you'll be young forever?

Stop hitting me, or else...

What? Or else, what?

What are you going to do? What, huh?

Ow...

What else are you going to do?
What, huh?

How dare you threaten
your mother like that!

Let go of me! Let go! You little brat!

President Na, I never realized
how much you've aged.

You're shorter than before, too.

Hey!

They say a woman that's unlucky in
marriage is unlucky with her children.

At least you're lucky with money.

I can't stand you!
How'd I end up with a son like you!

I came out between your legs.
That's how...

Get married within this year!

Call Chris for me.

I'm going to tell your brother
about everything!

Say hi to him for me.

Everything's ok with Mom, right?

She's just getting old.

But when are you going
to stop riding cabs?

If you're afraid to drive,
then get a driver...

I'm fine. Cabs are rather convenient...

You worked at Nante from 2003
until December, 2004.

Why did you quit your job there?

It's a rather big restaurant
and with good pay.

Well, what can I say...
It didn't quite fit in with my values.

What value?

To prepare dish is
part of a chef's life.

I believe that in order
to make a great cake,

your life itself should be
of high quality, too.

And so for me, leaving work for
a couple of hours on Christmas Eve

in order to protect your love is
quite acceptable.

A woman that has lost her love
cannot make a sweet cake.

So you didn't go to work on
the busiest day of the year

to spend time with your boyfriend?

And so you got fired. Is that right?

Well, no...
It wasn't just to spend time with him.

It was to protect my love.

So did you succeed
in protecting your love?

No, we broke up.

I see, I'm sorry.

It's OK.
Oh, this is mango mousse cake.

I thought this would be the best way
to show you my skills.

I'm sorry, but we're looking for an
assistant. You're too experienced.

And we can't pay you as much. I'm sorry.

I see.

I'm too experienced at one place,
and lack experience at another.

Life is so difficult,
isn't it, Kim Sam-soon?

Are you going in or not?

Ouch! Hey... watch it... my hair...

Stay still. Your hair's
caught in my shirt.

Be gentle, will you? Stop pulling.

I said to stay still.

It hurts.

Jeez, stay still...

Why are you shouting at me?

Shut up and stay still.

What? Did you just tell
me to shut up? Huh?

Hey... Hey... stop it...

Could you get me a pair of scissors?

Are you crazy? Are you nuts?
Did you just ask for scissors?

You better not cut my hair!

Doesn't anyone have a pair of scissors?

Forget the scissors.
I'll just undo it. OK?

I'm sorry, I'm in a hurry.

Wait stop!

Don't you dare cut my hair.
If you do, I'll sue you!

Agghhhh!

You don't work here, right?
Sue me if you want. I'll sue you too,

I really can't stand rude and
cocky bastards like you!

I made it myself, so it's a bit
expensive but I won't charge you for it!

Enjoy the cake, you bastard!

He should know better than not
to mess with Kim Sam-soon's hair.

I hope you die in hell, you bastard!

Damn it! You're dead the next time
I see you! Damn it...

Eek! I wasn't talking about you, Sir...

There's this cocky punk...

I'll leave you to
your business then... Bye...

You are a lost cause.

Have you forgotten what
happened last Christmas?

You want to go through it again?

What are you doing?

Are you breastfeeding in the men's room?

Oh, my God! That bastard...

There're plenty of men out there?

There're plenty of
women out there, too...

How am I going to get my shot with
anyone if I just sit back and watch, huh?

Hold on... He seems younger than me.

So much experience does he have
to dare lecture me, huh? That cocky...

Hey.

Why the hell's he following me? Huh?

Hey, wait up...

Hey, wait up...

Taxi, stop!

To Buyamdong, please.
And hurry, please.

Do you want me to go over
the tunnel or under the tunnel?

Over the tunnel! Come on, hurry!

Ugh!

Can we talk?

Sir, why aren't you driving? Let's go...

Get off for a minute.
I need to talk with you.

Sir...

Are you getting in or not?

What the hell do you think you're doing?
Get off right now!

Where's this madam headed?

Madam? Did you just call me madam?

Does that really matter?

Of course it matters!
It matters all right!

It's sad enough that I'm getting old
and getting another wrinkle every day!

You dare to call me madam
on top of that?

Let's go where this
young lady is headed.

Sir, I refuse to ride with a stranger.

We're not strangers.

The cake that you smashed in my face...
You really made it?

You followed me just to ask me that?

Did you really make it yourself?

Why do you care anyways?

I don't have time to joke around.
Did you make it yourself or not?

Yeah, I made it myself.

Do you bake cakes for a hobby?

No, it's my job.

You're a patissier?

How do you know that?

Not many people know about it.

Where do you work right now?
At a bakery? At a hotel?

Or do you have your own shop?

Well, you see... I'm a bit fragile...
I'm taking a break at the moment...

Take this.

No, why should I?

Just take it. You won't regret it.

No.

You'll regret it if you don't.

You'll regret it
if you don't get off right now.

Sir, will you stop right here.
This man is getting off.

Ow, stop it! Let go of me!

What the hell do you think you're doing?

Why don't you at least
take a look at it?

Why should I?

Do you know how important hair
is to a woman? And you...

Jeez...

Bring your resume to my office
by three o'clock tomorrow.

And bring some cakes and cookies that
you made. The more the better.

I don't like people being late.
So come on time. It's at three, OK?

Hey!

I need more time.
I need to buy the materials and

I also have to find a place
where I can bake...

Where do you usually bake?

A friend runs a baking school.

Tomorrow's the weekend.

The school has classes
on weekends, too?

But, still... I need time
to find the materials.

There are some materials that
are really hard to find.

Just bake with what you can find.
That's real skill,

Hey, hold on...

How old are you?

You seem a bit young... I was just
wondering if you're some kind of conman.

Did you just laugh at me? Did you?

No, I didn't.

Yeah, you did. You laughed at me.

There you go again.

Let's go, Sir.

Hey!

That cocky punk!

Did you edit your photo?

Yes.

Just leave it the next time...
You look like a different person.

Your name is Kim Sam-soon...
You're pretty old.

So?

I mean... Never mind... Carry on.

You graduated Soonyi Girls' High School,
and graduated Le Colon Bleu...

You worked for 2 years
at Paris as an intern...

Why didn't you go to college
after going to Paris to study baking?

I had poor grades in high school.

Then how did you learn
French
with that brain?

There are three things in the world
that speak a universal language.

Music, art and food!

But why did you come back? You could've
stayed in France and built your career.

My father passed away.
He suddenly had a heart attack.

I'm positive that he doesn't
remember me.

There's no reason for him to
pretend that he doesn't remember me.

Please, don't let him remember me...

But that's weird. Why isn't he laughing
at my name? Everyone else does...

This is classic chocolate cake...

madeleine, macaroon, bon bons...

They're all very simple.

Yes, I didn't have time
to find other materials.

I made ones that you can make with
materials that you can easily find.

I was given very short notice, you see.
It would've been nice if I had more time...

Oh, no... That's not what I meant.

Many people these days focus
too much on elaborate decorations

and forget what's really important.

I don't think that's desirable.
I like your style of baking.

Thank you.

Oh, and the box for the chocolates... It
seems unique. Did you make it yourself?

Yes, I believe that the chocolates I
make should be put in boxes that I make.

Is there a special reason?

A box of chocolates carries a person's
life. Have you seen the movie Forrest Gump?

In that movie, Forrest's mother
always used to say

that life is like a box of chocolates.

You never know what you're going to get.

Don't you remember?

I haven't seen it.

You should see it some time.

Well, becoming a patissier was
sheer coincidence for me.

I went to a used book store
and I chose a book and

it happened to be about French cookies.

If it was a book on a chicken sexer,

then I would probably be
a chicken sexer by now.

Things change according to the choices
that you make. Things change a lot.

Were the chocolates you chose
all good up to now?

No. Some were nice but some weren't.

But there's nothing I can do about that.

The box is mine and I have to eat
all the chocolates in it.

The only difference is when
I will get to eat each one.

But I think I've changed over time.

I used to try anything before, but now
I hesitate before choosing a chocolate.

Now I know that some
have bitter rum inside.

If I have a wish, that would be that

I've already eaten all the bitter
rum chocolates

during the past 30 years
and that there aren't any left.

Just the fact that
you have realized that

probably has already cut down
the bitter chocolates by half.

Hopefully...

Does anyone have any other questions?

Huh? No, that's all.

OK, good. Let's work together. Work
starts at 10 a.m. and finishes at 10 p.m.

But I think that baking starts
much earlier than that.

I'm sure you're familiar with the hours.

They're from seven to six.
And sometimes overtime.

Three to five in the afternoon is
when you get to have a break

and prepare for dinner.

You get every third Monday off

and you get another day off
during the month taking turns.

Payday is the 25th

we'll decide after 3 months whether
we'll hire you as a regular employee.

Hold on.

Yes.

I have a condition.

A condition?

Yes, I have a condition.

If it's about being a temporary worker,
let me explain.

Our restaurant only makes
authentic cuisine.

Mr. Lee may be Korean but he used
to work in five star hotels

all over the world for 15 years
before we scouted him.

Take a seat.

Our patissier was French, too.
But he left due to personal reasons.

I know that you studied in France, too,
but I don't think that's enough.

Are you finished?

You'll be satisfied with the pay.
We're not stingy over pay.

Are you done?

Let's give it 3 months. We'll decide
whether you'll be a regular worker or not.

You mean you can fire me
if you find it necessary?

If you don't meet our standards.

OK, fine. Now can I speak?

I want you to start tomorrow.

I said I had a condition.

What is it?

Well... I would like you to call me
Kim Hee-jin.

I want my name to be Kim Hee-jin
instead of Kim Sam-soon.

It's not like it's going
to cost you anything.

All you have to do is introduce me as
Kim Hee-jin. You can do that, right?

Why do I have to do that?

Why?

Why do I have to call you Kim Hee-jin
instead of Kim Sam-soon?

Would you like it if
I called you Sam-shik?

If my name was Hyun Sam-shik
and not Hyun Jin-hun,

of course you should call me that.

But unfortunately,
my name is Hyun Jin-hun.

I know that.

Then why do you insist on the name
Hee-jin? You're making fun of me, right?

Why would I make fun of you?

Jeez...

OK, then... Let's do this.
If you don't like the name, Sam-soon...

You can use any other name
except for Hee-jin.

What do you mean except for Hee-jin?

You can choose any name
besides Kim Hee-jin

and Kim Sam-soon.

Now why should I do that?

You don't need to know why.

No, my name has to be Kim Hee-jin.
And it goes the same for me, too.

You don't need to know the reason
why it has to be that name.

I don't like repeating myself.

Same here. Call me Kim Hee-jin
or find yourself another patissier.

Your choice.

OK, fine. I'll quit. Whether a regular
or a temporary worker,

you find yourself another patissier.

Kim Hee-jin... Kim Hee-jin.

Yes, Mr. Hyun?

Why does it have to be...

Why does it have to be, what?

Why does it have to be Kim Hee-jin?

You're curious?

Yes, I am.

I'm curious as to why you're so curious.

It's personal, so I can't say.

Well, it's personal for me, too,
but it's not like I can't tell you.

But I'll tell you after
I become a regular worker, OK?

It's too much to drink alone.
Would you like some?

Sure, thanks.

Do you know how they measure
the clarity of water

when they check water quality?

They put a 30cm round
white disk in the water and

measure the depth
until it can't be seen.

Do you know how deep
the world's clearest lake is?

How deep?

It's a lake called "Lake Mashu"
in Japan. It's 41.6 meters deep!

The second deepest is Russia's
"Lake Vikal." It's 40.5 meters deep.

But it turns out that you can't measure
the clarity of a person's heart.

All you can do is make
a rough estimate...

That's the conclusion one
comes to after a divorce.

But what did you do
in the States for 3 years?

Well... I realized many things.

Particularly?

That I should become a great doctor.

Are you a doctor?

No! I'm still a med student.

Wow, that's so cool.
So you went abroad to study?

Well, not exactly...
But that guy keeps on staring at us.

I know. Don't you want to know
which one of us he's looking at?

Good luck!

Hello, my name is Yoo Hee-jin.

You seem to keep staring at us.

So?

We were just curious as to which
one of us you're interested in.

Jeez... I stared at you because you
were so loud. Don't you have any manners?

This is so embarrassing.

Shhh!

You really surprised me.
I never thought you'd really go and ask.

Gosh, I'm so glad to be back.

When I left 3 years ago,
I never thought I'd be able to return.

Did you run away from a debt?

Gosh, how did you know?

Welcome back.

There he comes, shhhh!

Shhhh!

Let me introduce
a new member of the crew.

This is Kim Sam... Kim Hee-jin,
our new patissier.

They're so cute! Just wait...
I'll be sweet to you all.

10 years isn't that big of
an age difference after all.

Thank you for the warm welcome.
My name is Kim Hee-jin.

I'm glad to have this opportunity
to work with all of you. Thank you.

How old are you?

Is age that important?

Of course. How else will we know
how to address you?

I'm 30.

30 times 2 is 60. You're two years older
than me. You're the eldest of us all.

Let's all welcome our eldest sister.

Here I come!
