All language subtitles for Wok.of.Love E12

Are you the person who abandoned me?

Are you my mom?

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 did nothing right.

I'm crying
because I did such terrible things.

I'm sorry I got caught.

Don't come here again.

I'm...

used to not having a mom.

That's more comfortable.

I'm leaving.

I don't

remember anything.

All I remember is the police telling me

you left me at a Chinese restaurant

where we were having jjajangmyeon

and tangsuyuk together.

Your face

or the fact that I had a mom...

None of that is in my memory.

Ever since then,

I never eat tangsuyuk
when I have jjajangmyeon. No.

I can't.

-Chil-seong.
-Don't talk.

Just listen to me.

You know,

I couldn't even get adopted.

I couldn't go to the army
because I was an orphan,

and I was too busy being a gangster
to go to college. However,

I have brothers who are like family to me.

I have a nice car, too.

This Chinese restaurant is mine,

and this building is also mine.

I've succeeded. I did well for myself.

DEBT AND SHADOW

I came here...

because I wanted to say this

to your face.

I want to tell you

that I have no regrets or hatred
just like you.

I want to tell you

that I don't expect anything at all
just like you.

May I ask you something?

Go ahead.

Why did you leave me
at a Chinese restaurant?

Because...

I liked Chinese food the most.

Wow.

You were selfish...

You were selfish till the end.

You took your child
to your favorite restaurant,

ate an entire bowl
of your favorite jjajangmyeon,

and then left your child there?

The restaurant owner

seemed like a nice person.

I thought if I left you there,

at least you wouldn't starve to death.

You should've at least paid.

You should've at least paid
if you were going to leave your kid there!

But instead you made your kid a thief.

You left your kid to get arrested and
treated like a dog by the cops.

Don't worry.

Well.

I wasn't lingering around you
to burden you.

It was 2,000 won.

It was 2,000 won.

It was a freaking 2,000 won!

You dumped your kid on the world,

but you didn't want to waste 2,000 won?

You should've spent

that freaking 2,000 won
while abandoning your kid!

Eat jjajangmyeon. Tangsuyuk too.

Eat everything you want.

I'll buy it for you.

BANK CHECK FOR 1,000,000 WON

Great work.

-Geok-jeong.
-Sae-u.

This is a dream, right?

A nice dream.

It's a dream. A nice dream.

Oh. Seol-ja.

-Yes?
-Thank you.

Yes, Master.

I love you. Thank you for staying.

Maeng-dal. Thank you.

-Okay.
-Thanks.

Okay. Everyone. Our Dishwasher.

No, you're our waitress now.

Thank you, Jeong-hye.

Yes, Master.

I love you.

Dong-sik. Gang-ho. Great work. I love you.

I love you.

Chi-su! I-man. Thank you so much.

Thank you so much. Okay.

Let's serve them well,
and make those 100 customers

who were hotel regulars our new regulars.

Understood?

-Yes, Master!
-Yes, Master!

If you are
changing the venue to Hungry Wok,

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

-Pardon?
-If you booked Hungry Wok

for 18,000 won per person,

we will

serve your usual 70,000-per-person set

for 18,000 per person.

You'll get to enjoy 70,000-won food
for 18,000 won.

We'll provide a much better location

and atmosphere for your gathering
on the house.

I feel so lost.

Shit.

DEBT AND SHADOW
HUNGRY WOK

Are you working on the menu already?

Aren't you tired?

Go home.

That looks yummy already.

You don't know what it is.

There will be 100 surgeons and nurses.

What would they like?

-Bring me some cold rice.
-Yes, Master.

Put it in.

Are you making fried rice?

I'm thinking.

What about jjajangmyeon and tangsuyuk?

If they always met at the hotel,

they couldn't have had jjajangmyeon.

Jjajangmyeon and tangsuyuk?

Although jjajangmyeon is the most common
and plain,

you always want really good jjajangmyeon

and tangsuyuk.

Here.

Make sure the flavor gets absorbed well.

Salt.

-Add black pepper.
-Black pepper.

Wok. Ladle.

Get rid of the moisture.

Place it on a dish.

Okay, Master.

It's good to see you eating well lately.

I'm surrounded by good food
since there's a chef next to me.

Here.

Should I roll the fried rice into balls

and place crab meat on top like sushi?

One more.

It's yummy.

Eat and go home.

I'll clean up.

Are you going to sleep here again?

I'm staying upstairs with Chil-seong.

Do you live there?

Yes.

Did you move in with him?

I'm thinking about it.

Why do you like him more than me?

It doesn't compare.

You said you like us the same.

You said you like him
as much as you like me.

If it's the same,
that means you compared us before.

He's him, and you're you.

Should I make Jjajangmyeon?

You usually want noodles on a happy day.

Hello. Hungry Wok.

I called Finishing Touch
to cancel my reservation,

and Chef Wang said he'd give us our usual

for only 18,000 won.

I'm sorry for going back and forth,

but I'll have to cancel and have it
at the hotel as originally planned.

-I'm sorry.
-Wait. Hold on.

You know what they'll serve you
as part of that 70,000-won set

since you have it all the time,

so I'll let you taste what we'll serve you

for 18,000 won in advance.

Please give us a chance.

You can taste it first,

and then cancel later, can't you?

Please, ma'am.

Hungry Wok says they'll let me taste
what food they'll serve

ahead of time.

They went so far as to say that.
I couldn't refuse.

May I taste their dishes first

and then make my reservation--

Then we will also let you taste
our new menu items in advance.

Tell us what you want.

Actually, although they are very simple,

I'd like the most delicious jjajangmyeon

and tangsuyuk.

We do not make jjajangmyeon.

Seriously.

Hungry Wok said they'll make it for me.

We'll make

Jjajangmyeon for you as well.

-Master.
-Master.

Okay, then.

You said we'd never make
cheap dishes like jjajangmyeon.

Finishing Touch says
they'll let me taste jjajangmyeon.

and tangsuyuk in advance as well.

The reason we didn't
serve jjajangmyeon in the past

was out of consideration
for the neighborhood restaurants.

From now on, we will even dominate
dishes like jjajangmyeon

that neighborhood restaurants make.

Asshole Pung.

I was going to let him survive
by making jjajangmyeon,

but this is--

Pung.

Seeing how you're making jjajangmyeon
you swore you'd never make,

you must feel very threatened.

You feel like if you lose them,
you'll lose everyone, right?

Hey. Watch your mouth.

Are you a thug?

You're a thief.

Are you trying to steal
our group reservation?

Do they not have free will?
I didn't steal them.

They came to me on their own.

I'll show you

what real jjajangmyeon
and tangsuyuk taste like.

Tell me the method
by which you want to fight.

Right now at this very spot.

Yes, fine. Right now at this very spot.

I asked the VIP to come.

Go and get black bean paste right now.

Where are you, Boss?
I have something urgent to report.

Where are you?

What's so urgent?

You could just tell me at the office.

Remember how you told me
to dig into the hotel's source of funds?

Giant Hotel's funds are dry.

They took reservations for ballrooms,

but they're calling everyone to cancel.

Why?

They couldn't pay the contractors

500 million won for the remodeling,
so they've been protesting for days.

I hear they're trying desperately
to get money.

What happened?

You know how Ultra Token
went bankrupt recently?

It turns out, that belongs
to Yong Seung-ryong.

So, he wanted to cover up
their illegal investments

and bankruptcy.
That's why he joined hands with Cockeye.

But

I think they found a way to get money.

You don't mean us?

Boss.

The Cockeyes are going to our clients
and taking them away.

They're trying to block
our source of funds.

I won't be able to make
the payments on my loan

and they will be able to take over
my building.

Assholes.

Boss, should we ruin their hotel?

No.

We won't ruin the hotel.

What? Then?

We will take over that hotel.

Those bastards tried to take away
my seven-story building.

Fine. I'll take your 21-floor hotel.

We will follow

the order in which the customer will eat,
so we'll start with tangsuyuk.

Hungry Wok uses pork tenderloin.

It is a tenderloin tangsuyuk which is
chewy like glutinous rice cakes.

Finishing Touch uses pork sirloin.

It is a lavender-colored
sirloin tangsuyuk.

Tangsuyuk must be crispy.

First, we create the crisp texture
by scoring the meat.

The crispiness of tangsuyuk
doesn't come from the meat,

but the batter.

If you add egg whites and water
like fresh cream,

the batter on the tenderloin
becomes very crispy.

If you use water, you can only make
average tangsuyuk.

You must use dry starch powder
instead of water

so that the texture
of the thinly sliced meat

will be maintained when fried.

If you use dry starch powder,
the meat goes limp and gets soggy.

After removing the oil
you must fry it once again

for the tangsuyuk to be crispy.

Since we only used powder on the sirloin,

it is crispy enough
even after frying it just once.

If the sauce touches the tongue first,

you may not be able to taste the meat.

The chef makes exactly
the right amount of sauce

ahead of time in the wok.

We do not add any vegetables
with a hard texture

that may destroy the crispiness

If you mix meat with the sauce like that,

it will get soggy within a minute.

You must scoop the sauce with a spoon

and dip the meat into it
right before eating, so it remains crispy.

Service!

-Service!
-Service!

Even if our tangsuyuk
is mixed in the sauce ahead of time,

the batter expanded with egg whites

absorbs the sauce very slowly.

Therefore, as time passes,
rather than getting soggy,

it gets chewy.

Service.

It's the crispiest...

and tastiest tangsuyuk I've ever had.

I thought it would be a little bland
since there are no vegetables,

but the crispiness fills the mouth.

It's savory, sweet, and fresh.

It's a very special tangsuyuk
I've never tasted before.

Both of you bet your victory
on the crispiness of the tangsuyuk,

but Hungry Wok's tangsuyuk

is crispy at first, and then

it's chewy on the inside.

The more you chew it,
the juice of the meat comes out,

and that juice is very sweet.

I thought it would be soggy
because you mixed it in the sauce,

but it is not soggy at all.
It slowly absorbed the sauce,

making the meat very chewy.

It is the chewiest tangsuyuk

I've ever had.

Then which one tasted better?

One is crispy,

and the other is chewy.

Next, we'll begin the jjajangmyeon.

DAN SAE-U

Finishing Touch's jjajangmyeon

is a salmon steak jjajangmyeon.

Hyungry Wok's jjajangmyeon

is an eight-color jjajangmyeon.

I will make noodles from this.

You'll make noodles from salmon?

Seems like it will be fishy.

There must be a reason why
no one puts fish in jjajangmyeon.

The most important ingredient
in jjajangmyeon is onions,

and salmon goes really well with onions.

The onions will eliminate
the fishiness of the salmon,

and they will compliment each other.
Worry about your own dish.

Since you eat jjajangmyeon
on happy occasions,

the eyes should feast as well.

Is your only unique element the color?

That looks like fishcake.

Jjajangmyeon should be like jjajangmyeon.

People use cooking oil now,

but jjajangmyeon originally began
with the smell of pork fat.

If you smell this savory scent
even from more than 10m away,

it makes your mouth water.

This pork fat flake will complete
the savoriness

of my jjajangmyeon.

If you add silken tofu to the sauce,

it'll get rid of the fishiness of
the salmon

and make it much softer.

Tofu?

Jjajangmyeon should be like jjajangmyeon.

After adding plenty of onions and cabbage

to maximize the sweetness
of the jjajangmyeon,

I'll add thick starch water

so that the sauce, meat, and vegetables

stick to the noodles
and refuse to leave each other.

This is a healthy jjajangmyeon

for surgeons and nurses
who can't leave the hospital

because they are too busy with surgeries

and have to get all their vitamin D
and calcium through food.

Service!

-Service!
-Service!

It is fatty, sweet, salty, and savory.

It's the most jjajangmyeon-like
jjajangmyeon.

Service.

Please eat the salmon with the noodles.

It's soft and light,

befitting of a hotel restaurant.

It tastes fancy.

How are the meat and vegetables

sticking to the noodles

and not falling off?

I thought the pork fat
would make it taste greasy,

but I don't smell the pork at all.

Surprisingly, it's just savory.

Have you made up your mind?

Thank you both for making me
such delicious food.

I was happy.

First, the tangsuyuk.

Both Finishing Touch and Hungry Wok

made the best tangsuyuk.
It was impossible to say

which one was better.

What about the jjajangmyeon?

Finishing Touch's

was very thoughtful,
considering our health

since we're long-time regulars.

However, Hungry Wok's jjajangmyeon

had the same savory scent that I smelled

whenever I passed by a Chinese restaurant
as a child.

I understand what you meant by

"Jjajangmyeon should be
like jjajangmyeon."

I'd like to share your jjajangmyeon

with the 100 members of our society.

Thank you.

I'll see you next week at Hungry Wok.

Master Wang,

we need to talk.

I can't accept that.

I didn't steal your customer.

The customer

chose my food.

I never imagined

this would happen in this kitchen.

This, today,

is the beginning for me.

Is it amazing?

Right?

Should we keep this kitten here?

Where is its mom?

I don't know. He always comes alone.

-Sure, let's keep it.
-Really?

Then we need to decide
who will be his mom.

I'll be his mom.

You?

Do you even know how to be a mom?

I'll give him everything I've wanted

from a mom.

I can be his mom and Pung can be his dad.

Pung is the dad?

Then you two are a married couple?

Yes.

Pung can't be the dad.

I'll do it.

Then we'd be a couple.

Are you sure?

What should we name him?

Dim Sum. How about that?

He's small and cute.

It's like he came right into our hearts.

Dim Sum.

Dim Sum.

His name is Dim Sum.

Sure, Dim Sum is fine.

You have to be a good mom.

You have to pet him, play with him,

feed him,

tell him, "I love you. I like you.
You're doing great."

Okay?

A mom

does so much.

We can do it together.

Sure.

-Mr. Du.
-Yes?

Don't be too good to Master Pung.

I'm not good to him.

Regardless.

Where did he go, anyway?

To duke it out at the hotel.

Your eyes were always clear,

but they seem clearer today.

Your face looks like
something good happened today.

-It didn't.
-It looks like it did.

-It did.
-Is it confusing?

It...

makes me angry, sad, and lonely.

And...

it's trembling right here.

That's what.

Then...

hug Dim Sum.

My mom says a child doesn't
only receive from the parents.

The child gives much more to the parents
as they raise him or her.

Okay.

Dim Sum's mom.

Love Dim Sum a lot.

I will, Dim Sum's dad.

This is just the beginning!

I'm too happy right now.

I may do something if I'm alone with her.

I may make a mistake.

No.

Chil-seong! Are you home?

Seriously. I have a lot to say today.

Where is he?

DEBT AND SHADOW

Hey, cooks!

Yes?

Cooks.

Let's drink.

Why are you pretending to be busy?

Find out which bank Giant Hotel
gave collateral to borrow from,

the amount, everything.

Okay.

You. Your wife works there.

Try to find out
which company did the remodeling.

Okay.

Chi-su and Gang-ho,

go to every one of our clients
the Cockeyes are threatening,

and tell them not to be swayed.

-Will do.
-Will do.

Okay.

It's after the restaurant's working hours.

Are you busy?

We're busy.

I just won't...

make a mistake.

Okay?

How did it go?

It went well.

We're doing it.

How did that happen?

What did the hotel say?
We don't have to do a tasting?

No.

It went well.

Want to have a drink?

Should we?

No. Just go home.

Why?

Should I take you home?

What has gotten into you?

Let's go.

-Buckle up.
-Okay.

HUNGRY WOK

Thanks.

This won't work. Get out.

What?

HUNGRY WOK

Want to watch a movie?

Okay.

Really?

No.

What are you doing?

Let me ask you something.

Was that a dream in the ER or no?

Forget it.

Sorry for going back and forth.

It happens.

-Are you mad?
-No.

You seem mad.

-No.
-You are mad.

You're scaring me.

My bus is here.

-Sae-u.
-Bye.

Sae-u.

Don't get on. Take the next...

Shit!

Shit. You stupid moron. Idiot.

That wasn't it.

Oh my gosh.

Going back and forth is worse.

Just don't be nice to me. Ever.

Watch how you act, so I won't like you.

Don't confuse me.

Do you want to hear what I hate?

I hate it when people lie.

You lied so easily earlier
that it was a dream.

I hate being hungry.

Starve me and make me work.

I hate guys who talk too much.

You nag like crazy in the kitchen.

I hate guys with double eyelids.

You have one on one eye.

Get surgery on the other one.

You looked so closely.

I hate younger guys.

I hate it when they treat me like
I'm a lot older than them.

You should treat me like that
starting tomorrow.

I hate guys who yell.

You have a strong voice.

I hate guys who don't have money.

Yes, I'm materialistic.

I hate guys who cook better than I do.

They should eat whatever the hell I make.

I hate guys who can't fight, get beat up,

and get hurt. I can't stand them.

They just make you worry. Losers.

You don't like anything.

You have pretty hands.

I hate guys with pretty hands.

Why does a guy need pretty hands?

I hate guys who argue well.

A guy should let me win at times.

I'm full of things you hate.

I hate guys who care only about work.

It's annoying.

I hate guys who end it
before even starting.

That's cowardly.

I hate guys with a lot of secrets.

Why won't you tell me
what your fortune cookie said?

I hate guys who set boundaries.
What are you, a tape?

Do you just hate me?

Who says I hate you?

I just hate myself.

I hate myself for being like this.
I hate myself.

Why isn't the bus coming?

I hate guys who set boundaries.
What are you, a tape?

Do you just hate me?

Seriously.

What a nice, refreshing scent.

That feels better.

WARMTH OF LANGUAGE

Yes. With certain loves,
you worry about the other person

from one step behind.

Love always walks behind.

Behind.

I'm sorry, sir.

Prepare for the 100-person party next week

as originally planned.

What do you mean?

We've been sponsoring
Taeyang Medical Center for years.

Of course, it should be held here.

We can't trust some
neighborhood Chinese Restaurant.

Don't you agree?

But--

You're so naive.

I'll call the hospital director,
so don't worry.

Pardon?

Yes, sir. Of course.

I'll call the VIP

and tell her to cancel
with Hungry Wok right away.

She should cancel the day of.

He humiliated us in my kitchen.

If she cancels in advance,

we'd be too polite.

Do you want to return to China soon?

I'm sorry, sir.

You know how important
Finishing Touch is to our hotel.

This restaurant cannot fail.

If word gets out and we lose customers,

we're in trouble.

Trust me.

I'll do whatever it takes to protect it.

CHILSEONG BUILDING

-What are you doing?
-What?

What right do you have
to do what everyone else does?

Give it back.

Give me that.

Gosh. You've got to be kidding me.

"I'll leave as you said.

I won't show my face ever again.

Take care of yourself,

Chil-seong."

Give me a break.

You're leaving? Really?

You'll never come back?

Come here.

What are you doing? Let go.

Come here.

Where are we going?

The menu for the reservation next week
for Taeang Medical Center

is tenderloin tangsuyuk
and eight-color jjajangmyeon.

Knives, please go to the market with me

after closing tonight.

-Yes, Master.
-Yes, Master.

If word gets out that our tangsuyuk

and jjajangmyeon are good,
we'll succeed in no time.

Is Jin Jeong-hye not in yet?

She called saying she'll be here soon.

She's here.

No.

You're too much.

Did you come to sell gum
first thing in the morning?

This is my mom.

What?

My mom.

-Chil-seong.
-Mr. Du.

Do you mean it?

But you don't have a mom.

No way.

Is it true?

No, I'm not.

No. I'm not his mom. No.

Then what are you?

I'm a peddler. A gum seller.

That's nonsense.

Hear that? She's my peddler mom.

She's my mom that sells gum.

She's my mom that makes no sense.

Sae-u said it's a good thing.

She says it's a good thing.

We had something good happen to signify...

that our restaurant will do well.

Just so you know.

Gosh.

Don't look at me. I'm embarrassed.

Where are you going, Dim Sum's mom?

You need to feed him.

You feed Dim Sum,

Honey.

-Have you had breakfast?
-What?

Why did you abandon him?

Shut up.

Do you like Chinese food?

You like tangsuyuk.

Do you want tangsuyuk?

And jjajangmyeon?

Sure.

DEBT AND SHADOW
HUNGRY WOK

We're out of whiteleg shrimp.

Please chop up the onions by size.

Yes, Master.

This is all the clams we have.
We need to buy more.

Come with me to the fish market later.

That's all the seafood we have.

-Yes, Master.
-Yes, Master.

Please check the freezer under the counter

for baby corn and bamboo shoots.

-Yes, Master.
-Yes, Master.

Let's go.

Hello, Pung.

I have to get to the market.
Start talking.

I'm sorry, Pung.

The moment I tasted your tangsuyuk

and jjajangmyeon yesterday,

I came to my senses.

Can't I work with you at your restaurant?

I wanted to survive at the hotel somehow,

so I stabbed you...

I know I betrayed you.

I'll make it up to you for life.

I'm sorry for colluding with Sam-seon
and stealing your recipe journal.

I'm sorry.

It has been really hard for me.

Please forgive me.

Seriously, after you left...

Pung controlled the fire insanely well.

Hey.

Were you saying that for me to hear?

It's true that the orders for dishes
that are all about fire

went down since Pung left.

Seriously.

Stop eating, jerks! Get to work!

Everyone was envious
of your cooking skills.

Pung, let's have a bottle of soju each,

and forget my ungrateful acts.

A bottle each!

I'll drink.

Bo-ra.

Still, you should stay at the hotel.

You're still young.

It's good for you to learn
in a large kitchen.

But you can come to my restaurant
and hang out anytime you want.

May I really?

Bo-ra.

This is the happiest day I've had...

since I left the hotel.

-One bottle.
-One bottle.

Hold on.

I need to go to the market.

Knife Chief is having a drink.
What should I do?

Everyone else is still here.

Then send anyone other than Sae-u,

I don't care who, to pick me up.

Anyone other than Sae-u? Okay.

Anyone other than Sae-u.

Okay.

Pour me another.

-Hello.
-Yes, hello.

I heard

you told me to come.

Pung, I'll get going now.

Okay.

Don't go.

Seriously.

You said you have to go to the market.

I'll go home.

Don't go, Bo-ra.

Don't go.

Stay with me.

Are you afraid

I'll eat you alive?

I--

I love you.

-Heart.
-Wink. Heart.

Good luck!

If you don't have to go
to the market tonight,

you can go tomorrow with Knife Chief.

I'm in kind of a good mood today.

I'm sure you are.
You were told you're loved.

-You're right.
-Let's go to the market.

Let's go.

Fine. Let's go.

Where to first?

-Did you bring the list?
-Yes.

No?

No.

Forget it.

Should I go back
to the kitchen and get it?

It's all in my head.

Why are you telling me that now?

Then why did you make me
look for the list?

-Are you mad?
-I don't feel great.

It's your fault for forgetting the list.

Is it that upsetting that I remember it?

I wasn't upset, but I'm about to be.
Stop it.

I won't talk to a drunk guy.

I'm not drunk.

I think you are.

Then where should we go?

-You hate younger guys?
-Yes.

That was quick.

You hate guys who care only about work.

You hate guys who don't have money.

You hate guys who cook better than you.

You hate cowards
who end it before even starting.

You hate guys who can't fight.

You have a good memory.

You said you hate guys
with double eyelids too.

I have them on both eyes.
They're hidden, that's all.

Want to see?

-Where?
-Here. Look.

It's here. Look.

It's hidden.

You're right.

You have uneven eyelid folds.

Sorry, I'm full of things you hate.

So why did you tell me to pick you up?

Everyone was still in the kitchen.

Why did you tell me to pick you up?

Because I wanted to see you.

So?

Sorry for lying.

You're right, it wasn't a dream.

I did all sorts of things
so you wouldn't die.

All sorts of things?

You did all sorts of things,
but you drew a line just in case?

This reminds me

of the time I asked you to cheat with me.

Like this.

I

like you.

Much more than Chil-seong.

I can't stop. My feelings won't stop.

I'm a jerk.

So...

just in case,

don't hate me.

Are you planning to make them a no-show?

That was our reservation.

I'm very sorry.

We spent so much already.

Does Master Pung like you?

Oh my gosh!

I'll take out the spicy fried shrimp.

Hold on.

How many times did you confuse them?

Master, first...

If you hate the kitchen so much, get out.

Are you firing me?

Make me ten jjajangmyeons.

I'm going to deliver them to the hotel.
