[Episode 28]

I have a new objective now.

I need to get a Michelin star in order to keep doing what I want to do.

- Whoa! - Whoa!

Apparently, a Michelin judge has been seen at other restaurants lately.

How did they know, when Michelin judges are supposed to be low-key?

It's not easy to be low-key when you're someone like that.

Information like that will leak eventually.

Yeah, I feel like I'd recognize them immediately if I were to see them.

There's a lot of false flags.

You have to be consistently good for a star. You can't just "cram."

They could've visited us already.

Let's really be on our A-game until November, okay?

- Yes, Chef! - Yes, Chef!

Aw, now I'm curious about what he's doing again.

I probably shouldn't call him.

So what if I call him?

I'll just go. I have to do research, after all.

- Guess who it is! - Whoa!

That's dangerous!

Oh, you scared me!

I called you in front of Good Soup yesterday afternoon.

I'm telling you where I was, right now.

Thank you.

I'm right by your side.

Your terrace is so big.

We'll have to buy tons of plants if we're going to fill it up completely.

No, I'm not buying more.

I'm just replanting the plants I already have up there.

And I'm buying a couple more, since I'm replanting anyway.

If there's anything you want to buy, go ahead.

I want to pick out the couple more you're planning to buy.

I'll claim a share of the terrace! Don't try to stop me!

I want to try hammering the nail.

Oh, c'mon. Do you even know how to do this?

Of course!

No! If you do that, you'll hurt your hands.

I want to do it! You were planning on finishing it yourself, weren't you?

All done!

There's nothing like jjajangmyun after some manual labor.

I'm not the only one with sauce on my face!

[Mr. Jung Seon's Mother]

It's your mother.

Don't pick up.

Why not?

Just don't.

There's no reason for my mom to be calling you.

I'll only know if she has a reason if I hear her out first.

Yes, Mother?

You're well, I presume?

Long time no talk. Why do you never call me?

Oh, I'm still finding it a bit tough to do that.

I'm not a difficult person.

You and Jung Seon are still happy together, right?

Of course.

I'm actually with Mr. Jung Seon right now.

Oh... really?

How's Jung Seon feeling?

He's kind of the same as always.

Be good to him.

Be good enough to him to make up for the fact that I'm bad to him.

Yes, Mother.

And if something happens to my Jung Seon

be sure to contact me, okay?

You can call me any time for emergencies, don't forget that.

Yes, Mother. Goodbye.

What's the matter?

What did my mom say?

Nothing much, really.

She was worried about you.

Are you annoyed that I didn't listen and picked up the phone?

Me and my mom's relationship hasn't been good lately.

I don't want you to become a messenger between me and my mom.

But you have to consider my situation.

How could I ignore a call from someone who's much older than me?

And more importantly, she's your mom.

I don't know what happened between you two...

but even so, she's your parent.

But you don't know everything about my mom, Ms. Hyun Soo.

And you don't know about my family.

There are still some things that are difficult for me to tell you.

I heard a brief version of it from your mother.

I'm okay with it.

You are not your father, Mr. Jung Seon.

You two are living different lives, after all.

Do you want to drink some coffee?

Is your family a touchy subject?

Sometimes, I wish you'd just let it go.

I don't have Blue Mountain today!

Hello?

Oh, hello.

I'm Writer Lee Hyun Soo's mother.

Oh, yes, Mother.

I gave you a call after seeing your card that was in the gift you gave us.

I see.

Could you make time to meet with me, if you can?

I'd like to meet with you.

I have time today. Is that all right?

Hello, CEO Park.

Hello. Please, take a seat.

Yes, thank you.

Thank you so much for being so kind to our Hyun Soo, and to us, too.

No.

The gift you gave us last time is too extravagant

so I came out today to repay you for it.

There's no need for you to do that.

Open it.

You're supposed to open your presents when you get them.

Yes, ma'am.

Citron is good for colds.

I make some citron tea every year to drink when we get colds.

I wanted to give this to you.

Thank you.

I'm thankful to you, too.

You and your father are different.

But you don't know about my mom, Ms. Hyun Soo.

Or about my family.

Are you sure you won't regret this?

You don't let your emotions get involved in business.

Even now, if you were to change your mind...

I'd accept that.

I'll never get involved with you for money-related reasons again.

Yeah, I'd like that.

Your pride would take such a huge hit.

Yes, my son?

You have something to say to me.

How long are you going to avoid it?

You heard from Hyun Soo that I called to gauge your mood, didn't you?

I was just scared to face you.

Hyun Soo has nothing to do with us

so why are you dragging her into this mess?

Don't call Ms. Hyun Soo.

Wow, you're so considerate of her.

If only you were that considerate of me!

Wait, that's not fair of me to say.

You do look out for me quite a bit, too.

Figure out how much you owe. I need to know.

He only says what he needs to say, and then hangs up.

Jeez, this is driving me crazy!

In the end, what's important is that our relationship doesn't change.

No matter who tries to weaken our resolve.

Oh my gosh, you surprised me!

What are you doing, Hyun Soo?

Kyung.

Why do I feel so lonely even though I'm in love?

What?

I'm in love...

so why do I feel more empty?

Hyun Soo.

Don't let this get you down. Go to your room and get some sleep.

All right.

But, did you know?

Hyun Soo?

If you keep being like this, you'll go truly crazy!

Even I think I've gone crazy.

We have two reservations for lunch today.

One of the reservations are by foreign customers.

Today is the first day that we're serving our new course.

So be extra careful as you work today!

- Yes, Chef! - Yes, Chef!

[I only had one thought on my mind.]

[I had to see Hae Young.]

Want me to get you some tea, Hyun Soo?

No, I'm on a roll. I'm going to keep going.

Allow me to confirm your reservation details one more time.

Do either of you have any allergies, or foods you cannot eat?

No, we do not.

Would you like some wine or other beverages, then?

Yes, please do.

I think it'd be good to give some extra care to Table Nine, Chef.

Why?

They just kind of seem like Michelin judges.

That's what my gut is telling me.

All right, focus, everyone!

Don't go overboard. Just focus on your own work.

- Yes, Chef! - Yes, Chef!

What we've prepared this time is steak with carrot puree

with some bitter greens.

Enjoy.

Delicious.

Do you really think that he's a Michelin judge?

No. They don't make that kind of thing obvious.

But still, I want to have a small sliver of hope.

Why are they shaped like stars?

They're Michelin judges.

No, they're not.

But they're stars! I think they are!

Did they leave?

Just a second.

Did you enjoy your meal?

I've been to many different fine dining restaurants

and this place is really to my taste.

Thank you.

Our chef, Ohn Jung Seon, graduated from Cordon Bleu in France--

We know. We looked him up before we came.

Could you give me a call when he develops a new menu?

A new menu?

All right. Thank you.

Thank you. Have a nice day.

Goodbye!

Ms. Soo Jung.

[BJ Investment Bank] [Team Leader Choi Min Woo]

Were they Michelin judges?

You're done getting ahead of yourselves now, right?

Who wants to make family meal today?

Why didn't Director Min Yi Bok come?

He's probably on his way now.

Ugh, I should've come a bit later.

I mean, I seem like the more desperate one since I'm here first!

Hello. I'm a bit late, aren't I?

Welcome, Director.

I have no intention of partaking in your war today.

So please exchange your pleasantries, then move this meeting elsewhere.

Director.

With everything, the first step is the most important.

Yes.

What are you trying to get at?

I thought about what I could do

in order to work with you in the most stress-free way possible.

Oh, you did?

What's this?

It's a contract stating that if you touch my script, you'll take responsibility.

Wait.

Are you kidding me right now?

Why, I never!

I've never even heard of such a strange contract!

If you work with me

you'll experience many strange and interesting things such as this.

You're getting way ahead of yourself, Writer Ji.

I like your script.

Writer Lee Hyun Soo and I didn't quite see eye to eye.

This sauce is so addictive.

Wow, you've really fallen deep!

You're still bragging about Chef Ohn's skills, in this situation?

It's so great that he's a chef.

I think about him every time I see food.

And that makes me so happy.

You're right. So happy.

[Mr. Jung Seon's Mother]

Hello?

Hey, it's me.

Yes, Mother?

What are you doing today?

I'm working.

Even if you're busy with work, you need to eat.

Let's eat together.

All right.

I'm supposed to meet with Jung Seon now.

I feel like I'll be super upset after I meet with him

which is why I want to see you.

Yes, all right.

Was that Chef Ohn's mother?

Yeah.

When you were seeing just Chef Ohn, it was super super great!

His mother is stupid!

Super, super, super stupid!

Plus, minus, zero!

You make me laugh.

Over here.

I ordered a beverage for you too.

You're doing well, right?

I don't want to talk long.

Just how much did you borrow?

It's not much.

I calculated it all because you told me to...

and it's about 50 million won.

You need to tell me precise numbers so that I can calculate interest, too.

What do you mean, interest? You're close, after all.

You're scaring me. Don't look at me like that.

Fine.

I'm sure that, despite everything, you're doing your best.

I'm sure you're only living like this because you have no other choice.

You're here already?

What would you like, Mother?

I studied up a little before you came.

- You did? - Yes.

This is bun cha, a Vietnamese dish.

It's a kind of noodle dish.

And this is a mixed noodle dish.

And there's soups. And seafood soup, too.

Does it not taste good?

Want to have some alcohol?

I'm a bit nervous since this is the first new menu we've come up with

since CEO Park and us parted ways.

I think that it's a bit too heavy to have with seafood.

Yeah, you're right.

And this is too light.

Personally, I suggest this one.

It has a nice fruity scent, and isn't very acidic.

And it's quite well-balanced, too.

I like this, too.

It's especially good because it has a hint of sweetness.

Shall we all have one glass each, then?

Want to hear a bit of my life story?

You're a writer, after all.

You're a writer so I feel like you'd understand everything

which is why I want to tell you.

Go ahead.

Why was I born?

Why did Jung Seon have to be born from me, and suffer this much?

I'm sorry. I really am, but...

I just can't fix these bad habits.

Do you think it'll work if I try hard, starting now?

Did you drink alcohol?

Yeah, I did.

Good job.

Guess who I just met up with.

Who was it?

Your mother.

What?

I met your mother.

You met with my mother, and drank with her?

Just a little.

I want to be good to her.

My mom was the one who asked to meet with you, wasn't she?

Yeah.

You didn't think to tell me that you were meeting with her?

Do I have to do that?

I told you before that my mom and I are on bad terms right now.

But your mother and I are acquainted.

So I can't just tell her that I'm not meeting with her.

My mom is someone you don't need to be associated with, if not for me.

If I want to become a part of your life, I can't leave your mother out.

I'm trying my best.

Are you sure you don't just feel uneasy about me?

You're right.

A person whose resolve has never wavered before is wavering, so I feel uneasy.

I'm having a hard time because I'm afraid you'll give up and disappear.

I've had my resolve shaken many times before.

So...

I know what an overwhelming feeling that is.

By wavering and faltering

you get yourself back together and make yourself into who you are.

You can't trust me.

That's not it.

You just said that...

you're having a hard time because you're afraid I'll give up and disappear.

Do you think it's all sunshine and rainbows for me?

Why are you only thinking of yourself?

[Temperature of Love]

I told you not to sell that land.

It's my land. I'll do as I wish.

Must you get money from my Jung Seon?

Do you want me to kneel before you, or something?

Do they have to open up your mom's head for the surgery?

Why does she need to wait three months to get surgery?

Tell CEO Park.

How could I?

Is it because of Jung Seon?

- Where are you? - Something urgent came up.

I'll call you when I'm done with work.

What if it erupts while she's waiting?

Why didn't you tell me that your mother needs surgery?

I waited and waited for you.

Will you ever grant me permission to enter your life?

You've already entered my life.

So why doesn't it feel that way, for me?
