I ate my first fortune cookie at a Chinese restaurant...

in San Francisco when I was 15 years old.

Are you talking about the cookie that has...

a short fortune message inside?

Yes. I'll never forget what it said.

What did it say?

Trust in a dog than a man.

It means I should rather trust a dog in heat than a man.

- You trust me though, right? - Of course.

Fortune cookies are all rubbish. It's all just for fun.

You really were a gangster.

- Watch what you say. - Hey, lady.

How dare she say that?

Let's go.

Don't get the woman involved.

Didn't you get married already?

I'm getting married tomorrow. What is it?

Can I say something since I got hit?

- Don't get married. - What?

Can you get married later? Delay it. Okay?

Why?

Getting a divorce is hard.

Are you crazy?

I'll get going, chef.

Don't go.

Why? I thought you were going to keep me out of it.

Weddings are not important.

Don't get married.

I'll make you a bowl of jajangmyeon.

Don't go.

Are you saying my wedding isn't important?

No, it's far worse than that.

Weddings are a scam.

People exchange rings and swear that they'll love each other...

until the moment they die.

It's a promise they make just to scam each other.

"Trust in a dog than a man."

Did... Did she just swear?

- It sounded like it. - Yes.

Did you understand what she said?

Swear in our language.

Don't be a coward and swear in English.

So what did you say about men again?

"Trust in a dog than a man."

Dog.

- I got that too. - What about dogs?

Are you saying...

I'm worse than a dog in heat?

You weren't...

saying that to me,

were you?

Do you consider yourself a woman, Mr. Gangster?

- Hey, come on. - Look at him.

Exactly.

So why are you men...

telling me not to get married?

And how can you say my wedding isn't important?

The fact that you'd tell a woman who's getting married tomorrow...

not to get married because it's hard to get a divorce...

is pure nonsense.

It's complete garbage talk.

It's not a decent think to say as a human being.

Am I wrong?

My husband...

grows his hair out if I want him to.

If I tell him not to cut his hair like a gangster, he doesn't.

And if I tell him to partially perm his hair, he does.

Didn't you just get married a month ago?

You were a month before me.

Did this happen in just a month?

How can love change?

- Are you busy tomorrow? - Why?

- Are you busy? - Yes.

Come even if you're busy. Are you busy?

- I'm not busy. - Come even if you're busy.

Here. You don't have to pay me congratulatory money.

All of you should come to my wedding tomorrow...

and have some delicious food.

I'll just pretend that I had jajangmyeon.

Did you get divorced many times...

to know that a divorce is hard?

I'll wait for the two of you.

I really want to serve you food.

My dress doesn't have any sleeves, but I got scrapes all over.

You have to come. I'll kill you if you don't.

Boss, are you going to go to her wedding?

Boss.

He's getting away.

Hey! There's still a lot of time left.

Do you want to reverse, or should we go to you?

Just eat the jajangmyeon you ordered.

We won't ask for anything else.

I'll never set foot in that ridiculous restaurant again.

Are you finished?

I'm Seo Poong...

from the Chinese restaurant in Giant Hotel.

If you bring chunjang with you, I can make jajangmyeon for you.

You should learn a thing or two from me.

Sir, this is the second quarter's promotion list.

General Manager, did you come all the way here?

You need to make the announcement tomorrow morning.

I'm too lazy. Let's do it this way.

- Pardon? - Can I do that?

Sure.

Why do I have to sign so many things?

Hey, my toes are a lot stronger than last month.

Yes.

The chairman wants you...

to cut down on working out.

Let me check one thing. You know the Chinese restaurant's sous chef?

Seo Poong?

- I took care of it like you asked. - Okay.

If you ever show up in front of us, we'll turn you into a pickle.

We'll have you buried in chunjang for a month.

I don't care if you just got married.

We'll take everything white...

on your body whether it's your teeth or your eyes...

and turn them black like chunjang.

You won't be able to pee anymore. Why?

The salt in the chunjang will block your bladder.

It's going to hurt a lot.

Hey, is that what you want?

If not, you better avoid us.

Don't cross over to that side.

Got it?

Bye. You better wash your face.

Have dinner here.

I'm sure you didn't eat yet.

I'll make you wonton noodles.

I won't make it spicy since it's late.

- When you're young you don't know - By the way,

do they not have any chunjang at a hotel?

What kind of person would pay 40 dollars...

for 40 cents worth of chunjang?

They probably ran out of chunjang for their last order...

after a day of business.

I'm jealous.

I had youth and love

She must be from the neighborhood.

One day we will...

Give it to me. I'll throw it out.

She'll be married tomorrow.

What do you want her address and wedding invitation for?

Do you want me to make you soup?

- Where are you going? - Boss, where are you going?

Boss.

It's easy since we don't need to fill any divorce papers.

We never registered in the first place.

Come back home.

I just packed up the rest of my stuff and left.

Our guests will talk behind us, but it won't last three days.

Do you want to be the one who broke it off,

or should I be the one?

I can at least act like I was a crazy cheating woman...

who regretted it the moment we went on our honeymoon.

- Who is the new man? - What difference would that make?

- Since when was it? - If I tell you,

will it change anything?

It's all useless.

I don't want to be by your side.

I can't give up on you.

Dal Hui. Your father...

supported me with the money he earned by making jajangmyeon.

Your father...

left you in my hands when he passed away.

I was always...

embarrassed about the restaurant my dad ran.

I think I'll be embarrassed for my child who has a father like mine.

Are you really going to talk that nasty?

I'm sick of smelling chunjang.

Let's end it here.

I would never make jajangmyeon here.

I'm sorry.

I shouldn't have married you, but I hesitated.

Hello.

Chae Seol Ja, you're so busy when it's late.

This is what you asked for, right?

I'm not here for my madam.

It's mine I'm here for. It's purple with a flower here.

Right.

Are you going to change now?

Hurry up. My madam will be here.

I found it.

Here.

It looks nice on you.

Watch what you say.

Korea is going crazy because of that Me Too Campaign.

You should be careful too. See you later.

Honey, are you here?

I'm on the plane now.

I'll get there tomorrow morning.

Okay.

Honey, I'm sorry,

but can you pick up my new suit and shoes,

so I can go straight to the hall?

Don't worry and just rest well. Have a safe flight.

- Honey. - Yes?

I'll give you one last chance.

Do you really want to marry me?

Don't you want to stay single,

so you can be free to date and love?

Are you okay with settling down?

Tell me if you don't want to become a married man. It's okay.

Not at all. What is this about?

You better remember I gave you a chance to run away.

Okay.

You better not get sick of me in just a month.

I love you.

Me too.

See you tomorrow.

Taxi.

- Gosh. - Get in.

I'll drive you home.

Why would I get on your car? Just go on your way.

I was on my way to your place.

Are you a stalker?

How did you know my address?

You gave me a wedding invitation, remember?

Your address was written on it.

I take back inviting you to my wedding.

A bride-to-be shouldn't take a taxi.

It's too dangerous. Come on.

I think a gangster like you is more dangerous.

It's not as dangerous as getting married.

- Gosh. - All right, hold on.

Stay right there.

What? My goodness.

I don't think I was being clear earlier.

What are you talking about?

There's nothing to clear up between us.

I'm not the type who hits on married women.

So?

You won't be able to have me if you get married tomorrow.

My gosh, what a pity.

Okay.

I don't have to apologize for falling...

head over heels for you...

before you got married, right?

I mean, you're not married yet.

You're still...

single on paper.

I hope you live a happy life for a really long time.

Mind your own business.

Go on.

Please insert an SD card.

Gosh, what's going on?

Go on. Leave.

Okay.

Bye.

Was I mistaken

About the look you first gave me

You gave me a beautiful smile

What's gotten into you?

You hate coming to my hotel because of your husband.

I ended things with him.

All that's left is for him to catch us together.

Okay, I guess that's the best way.

I deserve to get hit by lightning and die.

But I want to enjoy our future a little more.

See? It's fun.

Mom.

I'm going to pick up O Jik's tuxedo and suit...

on my way to the hair salon.

You can pick up the bouquet and boutonniere...

and meet me at the venue.

(Hungry Frying Pan)

(Out of Business, Up for Lease, 3,000 dollars a month)

"Out of business"?

My gosh, what are you doing?

Who gave you permission to close the restaurant?

How could you go out of business without my permission?

I'm totally against this.

Buy some rice puffs.

Hey, I guess you're not the owner of this building after all.

I can't believe you shut it down just because it wasn't doing well...

when you're the owner of the entire building.

What am I going to do now?

Go back to working as a caregiver at the hospital.

Why do you keep coming here like a hawker?

The restaurant went out of business because of you.

I saw you eat a bowl of jajangmyeon...

at another Chinese restaurant with the money you took from us.

You little jerk! Why do you think I had to do that?

Your jajangmyeon tasted horrible.

You should've asked for my permission...

before going out of business like this.

My gosh, you jerks. Hey!

Hey, open the door.

Open up.

I'm going to break the door if you don't.

Hey!

I'm going to die tomorrow.

My gosh.

It's not here.

Gosh, why didn't he buy another one?

He'll go through so much if he has another baby.

Is your name Lim Keok Jeong, sir?

No, it's not Lim Keok Jeong.

It's Lim Geok Jeong.

Oh, I see. I'm sorry.

I need to pay congratulatory money for a wedding.

I'd like to get a check for 1,000 dollars.

I want a new check, please.

All checks are new, sir.

Here you go.

Is this what a condom looks like? I've never seen one before.

Is it for your son?

Congratulations, Chef Poong.

Hey.

There will be a personnel appointment today.

It's obvious what's going to happen.

You're the reason this hotel became a six star hotel.

Right?

Good morning.

The doors are closing.

You and Poong are in charge of buying the ingredients, right?

You bought Indonesia bird's nest from a place that cost...

one tenth the original price of where you should've bought them.

You bought shark's fin from the Philippines instead of Hong Kong.

And you even lied that it cost 600 dollars per kilo...

when it only cost 60 dollars per kilo.

Well... I'm... I'm sorry, chef.

I'll promote you as the head of the Fire Part.

Okay. Wait, what?

It wasn't you, right?

It was Poong, wasn't it?

Yes.

Do you think Poong cares for you as a chef?

- Doesn't he? - He'll never want...

a woman to become a chef in his kitchen.

He'll make women chop onions for as long as he's in charge.

Until when are you going chop your career away?

You're fired.

Don't you know that our hotel...

forbid waiters and waitresses to receive tips from tables?

I'm sorry, chef.

I've seen Sous-chef Poong...

cook up some expensive dishes for personal use...

numerous times after working hours.

Okay, that's great.

Fire Part, let's go.

Cutting Part, let's go.

Hall, let's go.

Bo Ra, you got promoted.

It's all thanks to you.

"Gung Rae Yeon, Hall Manager."

Hey, you became a manager.

- Nice. - Congratulations.

Everyone, be quiet. Let's keep going.

The next person is me, Maeng Sam Seon.

Congratulations, Sam Seon!

Thank you, my friend.

It's all thanks to you.

But your name isn't on the list, Poong.

The next page is for people who are being transferred.

(Dragon Palace, Gyeonggi Province, Chef, Seo Poong, Promoted)

You still got promoted.

- You're getting transferred. - Where is that?

Where in the world...

is Dragon Palace?

- Sir. - Yes?

This line that starts from all the way here to down here.

This part needs to fit me just right.

- Got it? - Do you like it?

- Thank you, sir. - Thank you, sir.

You guys can pick one more.

- Really, sir? - Thank you, sir.

- Thank you, sir. - My gosh.

You must be really rich, sir.

From what I know, this little thing costs 10,000 dollars.

But it looks really good on you.

I don't like items that are too flashy.

- I want something else. - Okay, sir. Just a moment.

I'm sorry, sir. I'm sorry.

No, it's fine. Does this place serve tea?

There are so many people here.

Sir, I'm here to pick up a tuxedo.

Okay, just a moment. Mr. Kang.

Okay, sir.

Sir, did you happen to see anything on the floor...

when we bumped into each other earlier?

- I think it fell outside. - No, I didn't.

- I mean... - Why are you asking me?

How can you do this to a customer?

Ms. Kim, what's going on? My gosh.

What's going on?

What's up?

She's treating me as if I'm a thief.

Sir, I'm really upset about this. I didn't steal anything.

I don't have it. It's not here.

See? I have nothing in my pockets.

If you can't trust me, go over the CCTV footage.

My gosh!

Excuse me, I'm kind of running out of time.

I'll come back after I pick up the dress shoes.

- I'm sorry. - No problem.

What are you doing?

Move.

My gosh.

- My goodness. - Wait here.

What...

- Let her go. - Get lost.

No. I said, let her go.

My gosh.

You.

You're...

I thought you'd be happy to get promoted.

Your yearly pay just doubled.

And instead of being a sous-chef, you're officially a chef now.

You no longer have anyone above you.

Your dream came true, so why the long face?

I'm asking you...

what kind of place Icheon Dragon Palace is.

Did you think we wouldn't find out?

We received two Michelin stars thanks to you,

and that allowed our banquet hall and rooms to be fully booked.

And thanks to all that, our hotel became a six star hotel.

You're able to stay because we acknowledged all your hard work.

What?

Let me talk to the executive director.

- It's the CEO's vacation home. - What am I supposed to do there?

Do what you always do.

Are you telling me to waste all my talent there...

by waiting for CEO Yong to visit 3 to 4 times a year?

I'm a chef who's been serving thousands of customers a day!

You embezzled the money for buying foreign ingredients,

and you even leaked recipes by cooking after working hours.

We might even have to bring back the old regulation system.

I'm talking about where everyone had to get searched after working hours.

Sir!

You should be grateful that we're not sending you to prison.

You're so arrogant. You think we're nothing without you, don't you?

How lowly do you think of this organization?

The best thing about this hotel is the Chinese restaurant.

And the best thing about this Chinese restaurant is me,

Seo Poong.

This place won't function without me.

Thank you, my friend. Thank you.

There's not a single workplace...

that can't function just because someone's gone.

Don't be mistaken.

I'll talk about this with CEO Yong.

Where's...

CEO Yong?
