EPISODE 15

I should give Lee Woo Ju the opportunity to participate.

Finally who will finally be able to posses Empress Myeongseong�s Ch�teau Margaute?

This has really got a lot of media & people�s attention

How can you do this

One of this wine you will able to savour a bottle.

Taste this wine and tell us what Empress Myeongseong might have said & felt when she tasted this wine.

I can�t smell any aroma at all.

Why isn�t there any aroma from the wine?

There isn�t any aroma. I can�t smell it.

EPISODE 15

Are you feeling nervous right now

May I answer your question?

Please do

Why did Empress Myeongseong love Chateau Margaute, I really don't understand.

But, if I say love a certain wine, it's definitely not the wine per se.

Rather, it's because the person I love is sharing the wine with me.

Just like last night, together with the person I love, we had Chateau Margaute together.

Perhaps it would be the last drink I would have with that man.

To me, Chateau Margaute is a man.

Whenever I look at Chateau Margaute, I will think of that man, the time we shared while drinking the wine.

What my grandfather has said to me, this was the best memory that was embedded a deep impression in my heart.

My grandfather was once there was a night that he was summon to Geon Chung Goong, the Empress Myeongseong�s private palace.

That night it is the 1st time after a long absence since the Emperor Gojong had meet the Empress.

That night was the night when Empress Myeongseong, for the 1st time brought out the Ch�teau Margaute.

My Grandfather told me, it was the 1st time he saw Empress Myeongseong happy.

Now I finally understand why Empress Myeongseong favour & savour this wine so much.

Ch�teau Margaute as for Empress Myeongseong, in itself is Emperor Gojong.

As for Emperor Gojong, this wine in itself should be Empress Myeongseong.

Although after that night, they went separately.

However both of them, each time they see the Ch�teau Margaute, will bring fond memories.

Before she is the mother of the nation, firstly that person is a woman, in front of the Emperor, before that he is firstly is a man.

The competition is not over yet.

Please tell us now what Emperor Gojong & Empress Myeongseong finally had that night,

You need to picture that night what they had, so the Sommeliers need to prepare for this.

I really want to help them end their life long regret.

I will present this Ch�teau Margaute to the person who can picture the happiness of the couple who were so much in love.

Fine! We will have a recess & will resume at 6pm, you need to prepare the dishes to present with the mariage of Ch�teau Margaute

Myeong Goong Won will be doing the tasting

I am confidence over what dishes to present with the mariage of Ch�teau Margaute

Let�s go...After 6 pm, we shall see who will be the recipient that Margaute

Ms Lee Woo Ju, what you have just said?

Is my acting great?

Ah! I should have practice more on the acting.

Because I was in front of so many people, I was a nervous wreck.

Is that how you remember the Ch�teau Margaute? Do you really want it?

Of course. If I get 1st placing how estatic I will be?

If it is Ch�teau Margaute, of course it must go with French cuisine.

Madam So�s grandfather was a staff in a French restaurant.

There must be something different for a couple who had not met for a long time.

They must have had prepared something special out of the norm.

Something special?

What, do we need to do Palace cuisine? The traditional cuisine....

Is there by any chance they like French cuisine?

France?

There isn�t much time to think, we need to make something?

How about we just make bulgogi, or make some pajeon, we just present it lavishly.

Both of them did not meet for a long time

So what then?

If I'm Empress Myeongseong, I will definitely prepare what Emperor Gojong would like to eat?

It wouldn�t be anything lavish, moreover it is something common

Emperor Gojong�s favourite dish?

By the way do you know what it is?

Naeng Myeon?

Emperor Gojong fancy this dish, but doesn�t like spicy or salty taste, so that why he likes Naeng Myeon,

Especially, not those with meat broth but Dongchi Naeng Myeon

Naeng Myeon!

That night, they must have eaten Naeng Myeon

Ah! Naeng Myeon?

Wine with Naeng Myeon? Heavens! How can we put this 2 together?

Can we able to do it?

Now we don�t have meat broth

Don�t we have Dongchi with us?

Dongchi? Can this be done?

Ah! That....of course Kimchi is my expertise.

However...Gi Dong can you able to make some noodles?

Chef, do we have pears & pine nuts

Hmmm? We can find that for you

If there isn�t I will go & buy them

Fine!

Manager Jo will send the dishes to the venue. We will start now

Yes

Yes....quickly

Why?

Nothing. How did you know that Emperor Gojong likes Naeng Myeon?

I searched it from the internet

Isn�t that all for everybody else to know of it too?

This is in regards to Empress Myeongseong�s happiness should it be so easily obtained?

Then?

When drinking the wine, when is the time when you feel most bliss?

Let's us begin.

This Naeng Myeon is together with Alsace white wine blend with a rosette to go with it.

It is the same blend Ch�teau Margaute, I do feel that this is a good combination

Emperor Gojong do indeed like to eat Naeng Myeon

Pear, pine nut & beef, this 3 really combine well, the pear vinegar is really fine.

It is the same as what my grandfather had said about the Naeng Myeon

This, what is going on here?

No matter what dishes is presented, it will all taste the same, can Naeng Myeon that night taste any different.

Although we can copy the cuisine, but the scenario of that night can never be copied or repeated.

No matter what cuisine presented that night, both of them only have eyes for each other.

The true mariage cuisine that was presented was Emperor Gojong & Empress Myeongseong themselves. The cuisine & wine was the principals.

This other wine glass is for the partner she loved who is about to drink & savour this wine together.

This is already Empress Myeongseong�s happiness.

The way I listened to you, tomorrow is the day to commemorate Emperor Gojong�s death.

But now they should already be together.

Can I hand this to the both of you?

This is really what my grandfather has really seen with his eyes?

Where did you heard about my grandfather�s story?

It will be my pleasure that you accept this from me.

We did it.

It is Lee Woo Ju's own effort that did this.

Until tonight, until then, can I just hold on to this?

Please look over here, Lee Woo Ju...the wine...the certificate...please say a few words...please look this way...please say a few words

Thank you...thank you...everybody...next....please invite tonight guest of honour....Ms Lee Woo Ju

What are you doing?

I have made a wish to the Heavens. I hope that tomorrow Terroir will be fine

It will for the better, it is because of Lee Woo Ju

It is because of Margaute. It is freezing

I said before, if you get the Margaute, I will grant you a wish.

Tell me, If I can, I'll do it for you.

That starlight takes a few thousand years, even billions, before it reaches here.

Before it reaches earth, many stars would have died.

Perhaps this is similar to our feelings.

When you know how that person feels, that person is no longer by your side.

Isn't it enough to know that there was once a beam of light?

Owner, did you know?

What?

I really wanted the Chateau Margaute very much.

Even if it's for a day, I want to be with Owner a while more.

Even if we are to go our separate ways, I want you to know this.

I know. I, too, want Woo Joo-shi to be in the finals.

Chateau Margaute was only an excuse.

It's cold. It's cold, therefore, I can hug someone for a while.

During this time we had, thank you. Thank you for teaching me all about wine.

Thank you. Thank you for allowing me to know a woman by the name of Lee Woo Joo.

I've never thought I'll find happiness outside Namcho.

I took only three things away from Terrior:

The sommelier's knife

Chateau Mouton Meyer's cork

And memories of you deeply imprinted in my mind

Grand daughter of the proprietor of Nam Cho, a traditional wine expert for 50 years.

Hello!

Jae Joo! Why haven�t you reported to work yet?

Ah! Manager? What time is it now?

Are you awake?

You? What is going on here? Where am I, where is this place? Why is my clothes out here?

Ah! What are you pretending?

There are people celebrating victory with a bottle of wine. We will drink this because we have lost.

I am sorry. I will concentrate my efforts on the restaurant

No matter what, I we can enter the same venture together.

You should return to Japan, will be best for you.

Anyhow I don�t wish to open that restaurant anymore.

Now because of the Margaute, everybody will swarm to Terroir, even if we open a more lavish & luxurious restaurant, what is the use now.

You had already failed, in the end you allowed me to fail as well.

What is the matter?

Ms Lee Woo Joo has left Terroir.

What

Lee Woo Joo? Why?

We still don�t know the reason why yet?

Go & find out what is going on then?

What is actually going on?

There is no reason for Lee Woo Ju to leave Terroir

Hey! Are you certain that Lee Woo Ju has left Terroir?

Eh?

Yes

What is actually happening to Tae Min?

He will come back to the company soon

Your face tells me that you don�t have the slightest confidence that you can do it.

The attitude of yours yelling & shouting at me seem to diminish, where has that gone to?

Please rest assur, Tae Min will return to the company

If I am to just sit by & wait, then I can�t be working with you on this venture.

This venture?

Immediately get Tae Min to return to the company!

If you can�t then it is best you give this up sooner.

I don�t wish to test my patience.

What is the matter?

I came to see the President. Have you been in contact with Lee Woo Ju?

What contact?

After winning the Margaute she left Terroir. Didn�t you hear about it?

I am sorry, we are already fully booked.

I am really sorry.

If by chance they is a cancellation then I will call you back...yes....

From morning the phone call for reservation was non-stop, the date & time are all filled, the phone calls increased 10 folds.

Go & do inventory, ensure we have sufficient wine stocked. You have to ensure the Chef have enough ingredients to meet the surge in demand.

Yes...that...Lee Woo Ju, where is she?

I have not seen her today. Wouldn�t Lee Woo Ju be scouted over to their stable.

That? Ms Lee Woo Ju

That....Woo Ju had gone to the hospital

Hospital? Why?

Her health, she's not feeling well. The excitement has taken a toll on her health. That's why she has fallen sick.

Even so, she can�t act this way, she need to inform me. Which hospital is she in?

Eh? Ah! She said she is ashamed, so she didn�t tell me. She will come once she feels better.

Ch�teau Margaute? Oh! You were the person on yesterday�s news

Yes. That person is me.

But...as for us you are too over qualify for our standards, we may be able to accommodated you

You don�t have to be uneasy on that matter. I can clean glassware well & also do housekeeping.

But if you feel burden...then there is no choice

No....then by chance can you report to work today?

Eh?

Did Woo Ju resign?

Hmmm! Woo Ju doesn�t want to work here.

Actually I want to tell it to you but it seems there was no opportunity to do so

Opportunity? What opportunity?

What is wrong with you?

At least you could give me some hints?

How busy are you that you don�t have the time to call to say this?

I'm Sorry.

There is nothing that Hyung to be sorry.

This is not for you Hyung to say.

I wanted to say this to Woo Ju but just to convey this to you only.

If Woo Ju was to return, will you accept her?

No I wouldn�t

It is best that you don�t change that answer

Gong Yoo Goong

Yes

I will place the Margaute in this fridge. If the Customer wants to see the bottle, then take it out from here

What if you put here & someone steals it, what are we to do?

It has a self locking device, so not to worry. Here for you, as Lee Woo Ju is not in for the time being, you will be responsible for the keys

Yes

Oh! This is really sturdy

That...the Customers are asking for Lee Woo Ju by name, what are we suppose to do?

Just tell them that she didn�t report to work today & asked the Customer for their understanding

How can we explain this to the Customers?

Manager, it is up to you to handle this accordingly

I understand.

When have you started to be like this?

Didn't you say you don't have much work lately?

I wasn�t satisfied with the previous design, so I revised them

Ji San, right now, if I don't do anything for you, I think I will suffer a breakdown.

But, I don't know what I can do for you.

I am just as confused. I don't know what I should do.

Not nice? Do you want to eat something else?

I've been a workaholic. Wanted to show you what I'm capable of.

In the end, I have nothing to show.

Wanted to make you laugh heartily, but I don't know how.

Lee Woo Joo has left.

In future, don't have to think anymore.

Let's fix an appointment and meet grandfather.

What do you mean?

It is from Takaki�s suggestion, it is said that this will ruin the reputation of Kang Tae Min once & for all.

The matter is that Takaki is hesitant about doing it.

Simple as it puts it that she is not ruthless enough.

If Mr. Yang agrees to this, I will executed this plan on behalf of Takaki.

You want me to do this ruthless indecent act.

Mr. Yang you are not doing this personally, it is I who is doing it

Ms Lee Woo Joo

Yes

Over there, there is a Customer who is looking for you, go & have a look

Yes

May I help you?

Ms Lee Woo Joo

It is really an honour to have met you

You must had seen the report on the Margaute

Hmm! It is not that.

You and Terrior's Kang Tae Min are rumoured to be having an affair.

You are troubled by it, right?

The man you love stole your shop, took away your Chateau Margaute, and threw you out.

What do you mean?

Why did you trust such a fellow?

Mister! Although I don't know who you are, if you continue to say such things, please leave.

I haven�t finished what I came here to say

Let go

Haven't you been used and rejected by Kang Tae Min?

That's me. If it were Owner Kang, you're dead meat.

Are you crazy?

Didn't you set out to seduce Owner Kang in order to get your shop back? I know.

After winning the Chateau Margaute, didn't you hope to lure President Kang with it?

Who are you?

You better stop here.

You wretched brat!!

Didn�t I say that it is enough

Jo Yi shi

Why didn�t you tell me about you leaving Terroir?

I'm Sorry

Why did you leave, it is because of Ji San Nuna?

No. My own decision.

I like Owner Kang

I know.

No....I know better than Jo Yi, it is deeper than that

What does that mean?

No matter how hard I try to cut him out, my heart is filled to the brim by that man.

No matter how hard I try to clean out my heart, that man continues to stir things up.

I am sorry. I had always wanted to say this to you. Aren�t we friends?

We are friends, why should you apologise to me then.

If we are friends, where is there a need to be sorry

What are you doing here at Terroir?...It is still not even a day

Are you alright?

I'm sorry, Ajushi, I'm sorry

Woo Ju!!!...Woo Ju!!!....

Congratulations!!!!

Ajushi, Are you alright?

Alright

Ajushi, wait.

Why suddenly did he make an appearance? My courage almost shattered

Aigoo! Let that courage be shattered, so that you can return to Terroir? Your room is really big over there.

Is it you who told Jo Yi where I was working?

No it is not

If it isn�t you, who else?

Ah! That is just....Owner Kang had not given you a call yet?

Owner Kang must have put his foot down on the matter this time. He said he will take you in again.

I also had put my foot down.

Are you really going to leave Terroir for good?

Ah! Just empty Owner Kang from your heart, not to empty Terroir as well.

Terroir is Owner Kang. Owner Kang is Terroir, how can I separate them?

This matter is really complicated. This is not love, it is just loose ends, why can it get so complicated.

No matter how hard I try to cut him out, my heart is filled to the brim by that man.

No matter how hard I try to clean out my heart, that man continues to stir things up.

Why did you drink so much?

Oh, I ask you to come out, you must excuse me, sorry!

What's the matter?

All along, I've lived a life to atone for my sins.

I wanted to give everything back to Tae Min Hyung

I was willing to lose anything to Tae Min Hyung.

It's been like this all these while.

Is this related to your guilty conscience again? What is that?

I....already knew that I am not worth existing in this world but it is only Woo Ju who doesn�t think it is so

Let�s us not bring out Lee Woo Ju

Woo Joo-shi loves Tae Min more than we've ever imagined.

Is this why you asked me out? To tell me this?

No matter how hard I try, I can't hold on to Woo Joo. I'm scared

You've drank too much. Let's go

Noona's scared too, right? In the past, it was love.

But now, it has changed into confusion. Very scared, right?

Don't make wild guesses

Then, what do you think? What's your conclusion?

What do you mean by saying this?

As what you have imagined that Lee Woo Ju had been ridiculed by Kang Tae Min the restaurant Owner

Ridiculed? Please tell me in detail.

Article of Kang Tae Min played out Lee Woo Ju for the Ch�teau Margaute.

Yes, President.

Ask Tae Min to come and see me immediately.

Yes I understand.

Myeong Goong Won sponsored Sommelier competition winner, the person who had been declare the Queen of Korean Sommelier, Lee Woo Ju,

There is rumour that she had illicit affairs with H Construction company successor Mr. K.....Illicit affairs?

Illicit affairs?

Sleeping together is of course consider illicit affairs?

What are you saying there?

Continue to read on

She has been snatched off her Margaute then swept out to the naked streets

What? What does that mean? Woo Ju was snatch off the wine then was chased out.

It is not like that. It is not really like that.

Lee Woo Ju is it determine that she is in the hospital, is that true?

That.....

That...Owner...You by any chance read the newspaper. Lee Woo Ju....doesn�t work here?

Yes

Then it is Owner who chased her away

Ah! It is not like that, Aunt Ok Rim!!!

What is going on here then?

Why suddenly Woo Ju doesn�t want to work here, what is happening here?

Manager Jo! I am off for a while

Owner?

Owner? Woo Ju! Will you able to bring her back again?

It is to say that Woo Ju is waiting for Owner Kang to change his mind?

I know where she is...together....

Ms Gong Yoo Goong! Please return to your work

This can�t be it. What is actually going on here?

What is going on here?

What is it?

Why are you using this undermine indecent tactics

Indecent? You should know what this mean?

The likes of you people, I just say this in passing, have this article make it clear at once

This is from you; I will just put this to action.

I am doing this what I see fit. Just wait & see

This article, how much is it is true?

There is a child named Lee Woo Ju....what relationship are you with her?

There is no relationship.

If there isn�t any relationship, why would this article comes out from the press?

If you don�t wish to become a subject of main headlines, quickly come back to the company.

After this there wouldn�t have such a thing to arise, please rest assure.

I have some matter that I need to take leave

What are you going to do with the Ji San�s matter?

Please give me some time to consider this matter

Hyung! I just want to give you a call

I just want to give you a call

Why?

Are you free tonight?

Today I am really busy

I still have to see you even if you're buzy.

I'll meet you in Terroir.

Aren�t you curious where is Woo Ju is now?

She should be doing fine

I have met with Woo Ju.

She said she is doing her best to forget about Hyung

I will finished up with some work at the site then I will call it off for the day

You, I say do know Woo Ju that girl?

Yes

Find Lee Woo Ju! Bring her to me at once

I don�t know where she is now?

So that is why I ask you to look for her, go & look for her first

President? From tomorrow onwards I will not be reporting for work at this company

What?

Tae Min Hyung will be coming back. I should take my leave

You, what are you trying to sell here?

Wait until Tae Min Hyung comes back, don�t treat him like you do with me.

If I was someone else, I will also feel really upset & uncomfortable about it

Ah!...yes...Ah!....of course!...Ah!...I know...Oh!...I will call you back later.

What is it that you are looking for me?

I have something to say

Woo Ju, did you read the article?

Hmm...

You have read it why didn�t you give me a call? Aren�t you worried about Owner Kang?

Owner Kang will be able to settle this nicely

How is he going to settle this? Yah! Owner Kang is now really sick

Where?

Don�t know. It seems it start this morning & is deteriorating fast & is calling for you

Goong Yoo Goong, don't tell lies

Really! If you think I am lying & don�t believe me then come & see this for your self

Hang up. I'm buzy now.

Yah!...Yah! ...Woo Ju!!! That wench didn�t fall for it

There is no such thing. Ms Lee Woo Ju didn�t resigned, she has taken sick leave for 2 days

We have confirm that she is now working in another restaurant.

What?

You want to be behind the siskin.

Having transaction with those petty wine merchant, I also know that there is a middle man.

I do know that you have close acquaintances with those people

Do you have evidence?

I also know a lot of middle man; do you wish that I give a call to Mr. Yang in regards to this?

Or is it better that I bring them physically to see him directly.

This is still a field that is worth to battle.

If the enterprises were to directly deal with the main principal distrbutor like Song Jung Enterprise & using falsifying rumours & speculations to battle, what do you think the outcome will happened

Are you here now threatening me?

Maybe I should return to work for Mir Trade.

This way I will use my life as collateral to bring down Song Jung Enterprise from the top.

This is really frightening. What do you really want from this?

Takaki�s contract, please give a copy to me.

This time definitely, Kang Tae Min�s reputation will be ruined, pay more attention to that.

Yes.

Mr. Yang, Kang Tae Min is on the line.

Put it through.

Manager Kang! What is the matter?

Have you seen the article?

Seen it? You must definitely think that it is my doing?

I am really in a dilemma, so I want to tell Mr. Yang the truth

Why should I have to listen to you?

It makes raise your curiousity & interest. Are you free tonight?

Hello?

Yes

Tonight?

I understand...

I dare say, Mr. Kim. How is Mr. Kim doing here? What is going on here?

Both of them have something to say to you, so I have created this opportunity for them to tell you. Please sit down

What is there to say?

We have to wait for another person then we shall start?

What? Takaki. What is Takaki doing here?

Please have a seat.

What is the matter?

Everybody had read the article on the newspaper.

The matter that I have snatches away Lee Woo Ju�s shop that is true.

This is what is written on the document.

It is true that I had chased her out.

It is because there is no other evidence to deny otherwise.

What are you trying to say here? What is this then?

Evidence! It is hard to find in black & white without a doubt

What are you doing?

This is your own style of method in handling matter, are you satisfied with the result?

Mr. Kang Tae Min! You have won

I like to thank everybody here who pays so much attention to my little small restaurant.

Please do eat some; I will pick up the tab

Thank you very much.

When I can�t stop myself, it was Mr. Kang Tae Min who stop me.

It is because I felt it hurt my pride, so I play with fire. I am ashamed.

I will return to Japan.

When I have the confidence defeat Lee Woo Ju, I will return to Korea.

Please relay this message to Ms Lee for me.

I hope I can do battle against her on wine again

Takaki Nanomi the reason she works for Mir Trade is actually an industrial spy for Song Jung Enterprise, for the price of having 30% of the market share.

That wicked brat, don�t even give me a call, if he is sick at least he should sound a whine....is it by chance that he has taken seriously ill.

What is the matter?

Didn�t I say I want to see you tonight

Ah! I am sorry, I almost forgot because I was busy

Hyung, have a glass of whisky with me?

Why did you drink so much?

I have something to say to you, Hyung

What do you want to say?

Hyung? When we were young, when we were young, the incident that Hyung �s house caught fire, do you remember?

What?

It was really frightening

What are you trying to tell me here?

It was frightening

But....at the moment it was scarier for the other child who was there.

He accidentally set the house on fire. He was so scared that he shivered with fear.
