We'll do this one last time.
If it fails, let's go home.

Yes, Master.

It's getting bigger. Wow.

It didn't pop.

It worked.

Are you insane?

Have you lost your mind?

I was just so happy about the balloon.

If you like the balloon,
you should kiss the balloon.

Why did you kiss my cheek?

I...

HUNGRY WOK

We signed the divorce papers.

It's over.

I won't meet anyone.

I'm just going to work.

Aren't you guys going home?

What are you doing?

We were blowing balloons
with dumpling skin.

It works now.

Blowing balloons with dumplings?

Do you want to try? It really works.

Here.

Hold it right here.

And blow.

-Like this?
-Yes.

-Gather it like this.
-How?

Yes. Gather it. Blow lightly.

It worked.

A dumpling can become a balloon.

It works.

This really became a balloon.

That's so cool.

How could a dumpling become a balloon?

Why did you come here at this hour?

To monitor you

to see if you're working hard.

You are working hard.

-Is this good?
-Yes.

You have to take another one.

Wow.

FINISHING TOUCH

With shrimp toast,

the bread on the outside must be crispy,

but the shrimp on the inside
must be moist.

It's critical to have both.

This is my shrimp toast

that I created after 20 years.

Will you try it?

I came to see you
as Hungry Wok's knife chief.

That's why I'm here.

Cancel the Usal Shrimp Festival
right away.

Hungry Wok?

Do you really work there?

Have you dropped to the level

of stealing other people's recipes?

How could a chef do that?

I really didn't know.

Seol-ja.

I know

that I grilled up my morals
with hot chili peppers 20 years ago

and took your money and came to Korea,

but I live by my morals now.

Trust me.

Look. Your knife

belongs in a great place like this.

Leave that substandard
neighborhood Chinese restaurant

right this instant.

Work with me.

Forget it.

I will give you three times

your current salary.

Three times?

That's nearly ten million won a month.

I'll give you

ten million won.

Do you mean it?

-Mr. Du.
-Yes?

If Master Pung and I are drowning,
whom will you save?

I'll save you, my sweet lobster.

Master Pung.

If Mr. Du and I are drowning,
whom will you save?

I'll save Mr. Du.

Ask me too.

No.

It's obvious.

Fine.

If Pung and I are drowning,

whom will you save?

Master Pung!

See?

Why?

You look like you'd swim well
and be able to save yourself.

You fight well too.

As in, I'm cool, right?

And manly?

You're right.

I swim well.

I'm better than Pung.

You've got a good eye.

Chil-seong.

If all three of us are drowning,

who will save us?

Don't worry.

I swim really well.

I'll save you both.

I'm cool, right? Let's drink.

HUNGRY WOK

If you're going to sleep here

instead of going home,

sleep upstairs. I have plenty of rooms.

-Come with me.
-I'm fine.

Stay with me

until you find a new place to live.

Come with me.

I said I'm fine.

Hey. Seriously.

Listen to your big brother, you asshole.

Hey. Seriously.

Why do you want to live with a guy?
Are you proposing to me?

-Come with me.
-What are you doing?

SUMMER FESTIVAL

USAL SHRIMP DIM SUM FESTIVAL

Pung started with the wok.

Pung isn't good enough
to lead a knife like you.

Don't stay with Pung.

I started with the knife just like you.

What makes and breaks a restaurant
isn't the wok,

it's the knife.

Don't work with ignorant fools
that don't know that.

USAL SHRIMP DIM SUM FESTIVAL

The weather forecast said
it will rain today.

It's not raining.

It said it will rain.

-It's not raining.
-It will.

It's not raining.

-Awesome.
-I told you it'll rain.

Awesome.

-Mr. Du.
-Yes?

You brought two umbrellas.

It would've been too obvious
if I had brought one.

This is why I can't hate you.

Sae-u.

Yes?

Don't hate me...

even if you can't like me.

Even if I can't like you, don't hate you.

In that short time,

you got married and divorced.
It must have been hard.

Then a guy like me suddenly says

he has a crush on you.

I won't...

pressure you anymore.

I'll just be your boss.

So don't feel awkward. Be comfortable.

Act comfortable around me, okay?

Chin up.

Thank you.

It stopped.

It stopped.

-Go.
-Okay.

Okay, today is the big day.

It's the start
of the Usal Shrimp Dim Sum Festival.

Maeng-dal will be the knife's assistant.

I-man will prep the ingredients.

Gang-ho will wash dishes.

Chi-su will be the noodle's assistant.

If you help well with this festival,
you'll remain here.

If you act like before,
you'll go back upstairs.

Okay?

-Yes, Master!
-Yes, Master!

Mr. Du, watch the counter.

Lose the sunglasses.
Be friendly and smile.

Okay.

Master.

Furthermore,

my right arm...

is all better.

Okay.

Wow. Will you finally be able
to show us your skills?

Sae-u, who has been my right arm
and the ladle until now,

will be the wok's assistant.

Yes, Master.

Did Knife

tell any of you she'll be late?

She'll be here soon.
She has never been late before.

She sharpened her knife
before leaving last night, so...

Maybe there's traffic.

We will be getting a new knife today.

She is a woman,

but she is as skilled as me.

This month's deficit,
not including your pay,

is over ten million won.

If we continue on with my incompetence,

we will all die.

Even if we all die, please pay us on time.

Look.

Look. Your knife

belongs in a great place like this.

Leave that substandard neighborhood
Chinese restaurant right this instant.

Work with me.

Forget it.

I'll give you ten million won.

Cross the street! Why are you hesitating?

I can't do it without you.

You will

have to stop

the Usal Shrimp Festival
before you even start.

Knife Chief.

I'm begging you.

No. You'll have to
close the restaurant too.

Please help me.

Hello. What is the
name on the reservation?

-Kim Eun-hui.
-Kim Eun-hui.

She'll show you to your table.

Enjoy.

VIP customer is here.

Hello. I'll take you to your table.

-Okay.
-This way.

Master,

the VIP wants a simple fire flavor
for the palbo-shrimp.

She asked you to take out the chili oil

and reduce the scent
of the green onions and garlic.

Okay.

Okay. Service!

-Service!
-Service!

You must get the starch water right.

Yes, Master!

Okay. Service.

-Service!
-Service!

Here's your palbo-shrimp.

Enjoy.

How is it?

It melts in my mouth
without the need to chew.

They captured the moisture
of the shrimp very well.

The different flavors
of the eight different shrimps

weren't covered up by the sauce.

It's delicious.

Thank you.

Even still, shouldn't you have told me,
the ladle,

that you were getting your cast off?

Couldn't you have told me first?

They told me at the hospital this morning.

I had no time to tell you.

Why? Are you unhappy
that I got my cast off?

That would be strange.

It's stranger that you're hurt
that I got my cast off.

It's war starting today.
We have to do it right.

We're too slow.

I got my cast off,

but I don't get to use the wok.

CHINESE RESTAURANT

What's wrong?

Oh.

I want to stop by somewhere.

Two 180,000-won sets.

That will be 360,000 won.

-Did you enjoy your meal?
-Yes.

The Society of Surgeons gathering

that you booked for next week

is for 100 people, correct?

It's always the same.

Okay. Call us once you decide on the menu,

and we'll do our best to serve you.

Thank you. Have a nice day.

Hi. Aren't you that nurse?

Do I know you?

I met you in the ER. I had hypothermia.

Your guardian worked so hard that night.

I guess you're all better.

Yes, thanks to you.

He was shivering,
with his arm in a cast himself,

but he was massaging you

and holding you to warm you up.

It was all thanks to him.

I could tell just how much
he cared about you.

Pardon?

It's a dream. A dream.

A nice dream.

Did you eat at Finishing Touch?

Sorry? No.

It was delicious.

Was it?

Yes.

It's a bit pricey, but it was delicious.

Well, we have a shrimp course set menu

across the street for
a tenth of the price.

Come by.

The chef used to work at this hotel.

Isn't that the place run by gangsters?

No...

Yes, it is run by gangsters,

but it's good.

What does it matter,
as long as it tastes good?

That guardian you mentioned is the chef.

My guardian cooks with as much care
as he showed toward me.

It wasn't a dream.

Excuse me, sir.

Don't like Ladle.

You're not a good match.

How did you know that I like Ladle?

Everyone knows.

Ladle is too good for you.

Even in Dishwasher's eyes...

Dishwasher?

Did you just call me "Dishwasher"?

You're so mean.

I apologize.

-But...
-But what?

What about me is so bad?

Everything. All of it.

All of it.

Why would Ladle be with a gang...

I mean, a thug...

Anyway.

You're banned from approaching Ladle.

-Are you close to her?
-Yes.

Well, then.

USAL SHRIMP DIM SUM
SUMMER FESTIVAL

There's no one inside.

Excuse me.

Throughout my life, I've eaten expensive,

good quality, and rare foods

to my heart's content,

and you can't find something like this
for 18,000 won.

I heard this place is run by gangsters.

Do I look like a gangster?

I work in the kitchen as well doing...

I'm a cook too.

It may be 18,000 won, but look at me.

Doesn't it seem like you'll be served
fancy hotel food?

We have customers!

Okay. Here.

Go away.

Here you go.

When did Ladle go out?

-You have to try it.
-I know.

-Come in.
-Thank you.

-Come in.
-Thank you.

Hello.

To your positions.

-Yes, Master!
-Yes, Master!

It wasn't a dream.

It wasn't a dream.

Two orders, four orders, three orders,
and two orders of Usal Shrimp.

A total of 11 orders, Master.

Lady, aren't you going to wash the dishes?

I'll wash them later
when there are dishes to wash.

Okay, then.

She promoted herself to waitress.

It's all self-service.

Okay. We have the first orders
of Usal Shrimp.

First course, shrimp chips.

Second course, egg skin shrimp dim sum.

Third course,
Mandarin Crispy Shrimp Skin Wrap

Then the giant tangbao.
A total of 11 orders.

We'll serve them in order
based on how quickly the customer eats.

We don't want the food to get cold

or make the customer wait.

Understood?

Yes, Master!

-First, Knife.
-Yes.

Prep the shrimp chips
and Mandarin shrimp at once.

Check the dim sum broth.

That requires a lot of ingredients,
so prepare the platters in advance.

Don't mince them.

Dice them into 0.3mm cubes.

So they can feel them as the chew.

-Yes, Master!
-Yes, Master!

Seriously, what is a platter?

No questions when we're busy.

-Yes, Knife.
-Check the dried shrimp soaked in water

to see if they are fully drained.

Bring 11 servings.

If there's any moisture on the shrimp,

oil will splatter
all over Master Pung's face.

Bring 11 servings of the tiger shrimp too.

-Okay, Ladle.
-Yes, Master.

What do I call you? It's confusing.

Sae-u.

But that's shrimp in Korean.

But you wouldn't call out to a shrimp.

Sae-u. Okay. Get the battered shrimp.

Yes, Master.

Come in...

Gosh.

Are you here as a customer
or as a peddler?

Can't you tell?

I'm here as a customer.

You're such a bitch.

Come here.

Look. You can't order our boss

to come and go like a dog.

Get out of my face.

Come here.

Here's the battered shrimp.

The batter should be like
a see-through dress, not a winter coat.

Lightly, so the pink shrimp shows through.

And we'll fry it crispy.

Like this?

-Okay.
-Yes. Master.

Is this good?

It's soft with a good scent and color.

Okay. To the wok.

That looks good.
Bring that to the wok too.

You didn't look at it. How did you know
they had good color and scent?

No questions.

Bring me tiger shrimp,

bamboo shoots, button mushrooms,
dried shiitake.

-Seafood and vegetables separately.
-Yes,

Knife.

-You make the shrimp chips.
-Me?

-The wok's assistant does that.
-Yes, Master.

Make sure each and every shrimp
fries separately.

That's right.

That's right. Stir them lightly.

Sae-u, now.

-Scoop them out with a strainer.
-Yes, Master.

Get rid of the moisture

before they get soggy.

This is the moment that determines

whether the shrimp chips
are crispy or soggy and average.

Okay. Service!

Service.

Here are your shrimp chips.

Here are your shrimp chips.

Thank you.

It's delicious. What is this?

They're shrimp chips.

-It's so savory.
-Awesome.

Here.

You need to eat well
after getting surgery.

Here. There you go.

I don't want it.

This is delicious.

Hey. This isn't just any root.

It's ginseng root.

Stop annoying me.

Eat it. Go on.

You're so annoying.

Seriously.

Hey. I know it's just the leafy part
and not the root itself,

but it's effective.

Eat it, you punk.

A total of 7 tables, 15 customers.

That's all the customers we had today.

Our kids went to that hotel earlier
to see how they were doing,

and they were packed today.

In boxing terms,

it's like the hotel knocked us down

in the first round.

At least it wasn't a KO.

We may have had only 15 customers,

but every dish that came back
into the kitchen today

was completely clean, Chil-seong.

That's more honest than any words.

It means it tasted good.

Those clean dishes...

will bring in more customers...

starting tomorrow and the day after.

Pung.

Can't you be satisfied with running
a neighborhood restaurant?

Do you have to get revenge?

What do you mean?

Of course, I do.

I'm just afraid

you'll continue being miserable.

Are you telling me to get scared
and give up?

How could you say that to me?

Why am I here right now?
Why did this happen to me?

What? Are you saying I should call it even

because I threw a knife at Yong's bed?

-Hey.
-Look.

I will not date,

love, and definitely not get married
until I get my revenge.

Freak.

You want to end up like me?

Why are you pushing that to later?

You should push things
you don't want to do to later.

Revenge isn't a good thing.

Why are you pushing good things
like love and marriage to later?

Idiot.

Get up.

No.

Tell me.

Just what kind of garbage
did you leave back there?

Get up.

-Let's go.
-Where?

Where?

Shit.

Aren't you going home?

Anyway,

why were you late today?

Actually,

I wanted to talk to you.

Is everyone gone?

Yes, they're all gone.

You sit too, Miss.

We don't know whether or not
we'll get our paychecks here.

But they offered me
ten million won a month.

How could I not be swayed?

If I go to the hotel,

I can give much more for rent.

Of course, you should go to the hotel.

They're willing to pay you
ten million won a month.

No. What about Master Pung?

Our kitchen can't function without you.

You know Master Pung
can't be the knife too.

Even if they pay you more,

this is betrayal.

We can't run the restaurant at all
without you.

-What do you think?
-Me?

I...

don't know.

You're all so selfish.

We barely got a few tables today,

and we're taking an insane loss.
But if you leave,

and not to go just anywhere,

but to the hotel kitchen
that Master Pung is getting revenge on,

Master Pung will never be able
to trust people again.

Must he be betrayed here too,
where he started over?

Don't you think it's too cruel?

Let's not do this.
Even if we don't have money. Mom?

Auntie? Geok-jeong.

You like Master Pung, don't you?

I do not!

You really don't?

I really don't.

You didn't even
sign the divorce papers yet.

Of course. You can't.

I did sign the papers.

-What?
-Miss.

Did Oh-jik come back?

I don't know.

If you like Master Pung, by any chance,

Seol-ja, Geok-jeong and I

will quit.

I'll make Seol-ja leave,

and you can't work here either.

Let's steal if we have to.

Let's just live with Dad in prison.

That would be better.

So you want me

to go to the hotel, correct?

Auntie.

I heard you had no customers today.

You challenged me to a duel,

but it ended too easily.

Pull it out first.

I remembered something I left behind.

I'll use my knife tomorrow.

Give it up already.

Hey, you.

If my brother wants revenge,

he should do it properly with his tools.

Let's go.

What's wrong with him?

That gangster came

to tell me not to touch his company.

And Pung came to brag that he isn't alone.

Why did you want to get this?

In case you got arrested.

When I heard you threw a knife there,

the I thought taking it out is priority.

That knife is evidence.

With that, you can't fight back
even if you get arrested.

I have three priors.

I know these things well.

You were scared.

You don't know even the basics of revenge.

If you leave things like that behind,
those rats don't get hurt.

You'll be the one getting hurt.

You shouldn't leave garbage behind
like that.

This knife is really scary.

Ignorant asshole Pung.

Let's go.

Shit.

Welcome. You made the right choice,
Seol-ja.

Join me now.

Knife Chief, where are you going?

Move.

Stop hindering my Knife's career.

Why are you doing this?

Why are you hesitating?

I...

I'm torn between people and money.

Money? How much do you need?

Ten million won.

This woman's knife is worth that much.

My situation is very dire.

I need money.

I'll give you ten million won.

I'll take out a loan if I must.

I'll give it to you.

Master Pung. I know your situation.
Don't do that.

Please, Seol-ja.

The hotel kitchen may improve a little
if you go,

but ours

can't do anything without you.

Their kitchen is so pathetic,
that they can't survive without you.

It's a pathetic kitchen that will fall
just because they lose a knife!

Don't listen to him anymore.
Seol-ja, come with me.

-Oh my gosh.
-Let's go.

Mommy!

Whatever.

-Oh my gosh.
-You lunatic.

You lunatic.

Not today.

Not tomorrow or the day after that.

Just no. Definitely not.

I can't do it without you.

What are you doing? Put me down.

What...

I can't give you
the ten million won right now.

All I have right now are my two arms.

All I have is the strength
in these two arms.

My arms are just as strong

as Master Wang's money.

Don't blame me
if you dislocate your shoulders.

HUNGRY WOK

Put me down now.

-Put me down.
-No.

-Seol-ja.
-What happened?

I'll go change.

What...

HUNGRY WOK

We're going home.

See you tomorrow.

See you tomorrow, Knife Chief.

Tomorrow.

Bye, Knife Chief.

HUNGRY WOK

Did Knife Chief...

say anything?

What? She said you were cool at first.

That you were manly.

And honest.

And simple.

Really.

Was that not it?

Was that my first impression of you?

Sorry. Bye.

I'm so confused. Bye.

Seol-ja.

It was like a dream

to meet a knife like you
and bring out the flavor of fire.

With your knife, I know can make dishes,

that make everyone happy,
both the customers and the kitchen.

Please don't go.

Careful.

Dough!

-Bro.
-Okay.

Master.

Okay, service!

-Service!
-Service!

Dong-sik, Chi-su, Gang-ho, come here.

Here. With a giant tangbao

the skin must become translucent,

so that the broth inside
can be seen inside of it.

The more folds you make,

the more it acts like a spring,

so the skin can maintain elasticity
and not pop.

Count the folds.

Twenty one.

Up.

-Forty two.
-Down.

-Oh.
-Fifty three.

-I said down.
-Down.

How is this 52? Moron.

Look closely.

Did a customer leave it?

Hello. Go right in.

This is our special menu.

We'll take this. Three please.

Nice.

-Hello.

Hey. You punks.

-I'll take your order.
-Okay.

This is our special menu.

Hey.

Okay. Sit over there.

We'll all take this.

-Three orders?
-Yes.

Please take that table.

Let me demonstrate.

Use the bamboo straw,

drink the soup.

-It's hot, so be careful.
-Okay.

Make sure your dumplings show.

-It's really good.

Absolutely delicious.

Hey. Did you happen to see

my wallet here?

No, I didn't.

You didn't see my wallet?

But

are you sure someone didn't find it
and leave it somewhere?

How much money was in it?

That's not what matters.

CEO DU CHIL-SEONG

"October 5, 1978."

Kim Seon-nyeo.

Hey, it's me.

Remember when our car exploded
three years ago?

There was that caretaker woman

in room 707 of Daedong Hospital.

Find out everything about her.

What her name is, how old she is,

whether her husband is alive, and...

whether...

she has a child.

Find out within today.

Yes, sir. It'll only take half a day.

Okay.

Here's your shrimp dish. Enjoy.

I hear that asshole Pung's restaurant
is packed as well.

Where are you going, Master?

I hear the hotel is packed again today.

We're providing hotel-level food
across the street

for only 18,000 won.

Why would people pay 180,000 won
to eat at the hotel?

What's wrong with them?

We'll steal them one by one.

This is just the beginning.

Yes, Master.

Thank you for coming.

Do you like it?

Is your guardian busy right now?

Pardon?

You said your guardian with the cast
cooked this himself.

Yes. I understand. Just a minute.

It's only 18,000 won.

It's a tenth of the price.

They make the same menu.

Did you want to see me? I'm Chef Seo Pung.

You got your cast off.

I did.

If there's anything you don't like,

please tell me. Whatever it may be.

I feel bad comparing,

but it is just as delicious
as the hotel across the street.

The hotel added shark fin
and swallow's nest into the broth,

which drove the price up,

but you created the scent of the sea
using only shrimp.

Personally, I feel bad for
the sharks and swallows,

so I don't like shark skin or bird's nest.

Perhaps it's because
it has your sincerity in it,

it's cheap but doesn't taste cheap.

It's delicious.

Thank you.

Which gets me to my point.

Do you do private banquets?

How many people?

It's for the Society of Surgeons.
About 100 people.

Of course, we can.

It was held monthly
at the hotel across the street,

so everyone is picky
and has a refined palate.

I'll find out if I can change the
venue. I'll call you tonight to confirm.

So you've been a customer
of the hotel until now.

I understand, ma'am.

Thank you, ma'am.

Master?

Did you go to that asshole Pung's
restaurant?

We cannot

lose a single one of our customers to him.

It's obvious what kind of people go there.

People who like cheap things.

They can't afford to come to us anyway.

One of our customers

was already eating at Pung's restaurant.

Really?

If even one starts to leave,

word will spread among the customers
instantly.

We must do whatever we can
to keep them from going there.

HUNGRY WOK

She said she'd call at 8 p.m., right?

If she books us...

If she books us,

we wouldn't be stealing 1 customer
from the hotel, but 100.

Hello? This is Hungry Wok.

CEO DU CHIL-SEONG

Tell me.

The caretaker's name is Kim Seon-nyeo.

She's 74 years old.

Her husband was a boxer,

but he died two years
after they got married.

She had a son, but...

I understand.

Next Monday at 7 p.m.

She made a reservation for a party of 100.

It'll be 18,000 won per person like today,

and she'll let us decide on the menu.

Great work.

-Geok-jeong.
-Sae-u.

This is a dream, right?

A nice dream.

Set table six please. Okay.

Hello. Finishing Touch.

Yes, I see. Just a minute.

Master, the VIP customer
wants to cancel the reservation

for 100 for the Society of Surgeons.

I apologize, but may I ask why?

Was the meeting canceled?

No, it wasn't.

I'm sorry, but we want
to try somewhere new this time.

If you are

changing the venue to Hungry Wok,

we will make you an offer
you can't refuse.

HUNGRY WOK

-What are you doing?
-What?

Looking for your wallet?

I found it earlier.

It's in my office upstairs.

Come up with me.

I see. You did?

Come with me,

Ms. Kim Seon-nyeo.

Oh no.

What now?

DEBT AND SHADOW

Have a seat.

Your wallet.

Here you go.

And...

Mom.

Are you my mom?

Then...

are you the person who abandoned me?

No.

Of course not.

How is someone
who abandoned her child a mom?

I'm not your mom.

You see,

I never had a mom,

so I don't know what I'm supposed to do.

No.

I said I'm not.

No.

I'm not your mom.

Here.

Why are you crying?

You have no right to cry.

I'm crying because I have no right to cry.

I'm crying
because I did such terrible things.

I'm sorry I got caught.
