All language subtitles for Would You Like a Cup of Coffee E01

Mom, I thought
I did my best this time, too.

But I guess I fell a bit short.

I didn't pass.

MOM

Hey, Mom.

Of course I ate.

Of course I'm fine.

I was fine, but now I'm not.

I thought I'd cheer myself up
and go to a café.

How can someone be so negative?

The least you could do
is encourage me to see it through.

What do you mean
I've done enough to give up?

That is being negative.
What else could it be?

My dream?

Why can't this be my dream?

Yeah.

I need a strong cup of coffee
and to start anew.

Okay.

Yeah.

Okay, thanks, Mom.
I'll call you later. Okay. Okay.

EDAE COFFEE

A PLACE THAT NEVER CHANGES

THE BEST

FEELS LIKE I STUMBLED
ONTO A HIDDEN TREASURE

COFFEE THAT EVERYONE LOVES
SERVICE IS NO DIFFERENT

AVOID DURING LUNCHTIME,
SWAMPED WITH TO-GO ORDERS

THEY HAVE REGULARS AND JUST
A FEW TABLES, SO YOU MIGHT NOT BE…

Joo-hee, it seems like
you got the ball rolling.

The spell that makes it roll, a deadline.

Are you still stuck, Mi-na?

It's nothing new.
Maybe it's because there is no deadline?

I'm so jealous of you right now.

What are you drawing? A bat?

A cat. The one that's been
lurking around here recently.

I'm going to give it to Ga-won.

Is that Ga-won?

Welcome.

-For here?
-Yes.

TODAY'S ROAST: ANTIGUA GUATEMALA

I'll take one of Today's Roast.
I'm by myself,

but can I take that table
for four by the window?

Yes, of course.
I'll bring it over to your seat.

Oh, is there a time limit by any chance…

We're open until 8:00,
so, probably by then.

Oh, okay.

The Wi-Fi password
is at the bottom of the receipt.

Thank you.

Hello. You must have been waiting
for a while.

Hey, Ga-won.

Sir, can I get an iced Americano?

-Iced Americano. Hold on.
-What did you make today?

I took the classic route today
and brought some croissants.

-Then, here. My gift to you.
-What is it?

Oh, it's that black cat
I saw recently. Thank you.

It's so cute.

Oh, should we have a taste? I'm so hungry.

-Oh, sure.
-Let's. I'm so hungry.

-Let's hurry up and eat.
-Here's one for you…

-Thank you.
-Shall we have a taste?

-It's so good. Try it.
-Thank goodness.

-Here. Do you want to try some?
-Thank you.

Thank you.

Enjoy.

I only ordered one.

Coffee that has cooled down
is good on its own,

but I thought you should
try it warm first to compare.

Thank you.

And this is from one of our regulars
that's learning how to bake.

We're not selling them or anything,
so no pressure.

Thank you.

EPISODE 1

EDAE COFFEE

Sent.

Done.

How about some gamja-tang and soju?
It's been a while.

-Sounds good to me.
-Great.

What about Hye-ji's dinner?

Oh, right. I have a daughter.
This mind of mine.

Hey, Hye-ji. Did you have dinner?

If you didn't, we should have
gamja-tang with Mr. Seok.

What do you mean, annoy? Sorry.
Okay. I'll see you at home later.

-Jeez…
-She ate?

She wanted gamja-tang
but couldn't get ahold of me

and she just ate something else,
which infuriates her even more.

My goodness. She's my daughter,
but no joke. Straight to the point.

But that's amazing.

Both mom and daughter simultaneously
get a craving for gamja-tang?

Moms and daughters
have always been like that.

-Oh, no!
-You already got feedback?

She already texted me
today's gamja-tang this morning.

I thought I had a strange craving
for gamja-tang today.

This damn mind of mine.

Moms and daughters
have always been like that.

What?

-Let's go.
-Okay.

-He was here earlier…
-Did you leave something behind?

-No.
-Then what brings you by?

I… want to learn how to make coffee.

Well, there are a few places
I can recommend--

No, I want to learn from you, sir.

We're just a small neighborhood spot and…

I have no difficulties working by myself,
so I don't plan on hiring anyone else.

The owner not experiencing
any difficulties

doesn't mean the customers don't either…

This isn't just a random request.

While going to college and preparing
for my civil service exams,

my tuition, prep school fees,
and living expenses

were all earned
through my part-time job at a coffee shop.

There must be something
I can contribute to Edae Coffee.

So, you have experience in this field.
Then he would be helpful.

Thank you for the consideration,
but I'm going to decline.

We're hungry. Excuse us.

You need to take responsibility.

-Responsibility for what?
-My life.

Have you been drinking?

Why would I be responsible
for the life of a customer

I just met today?

Because after I drank your coffee,
the plans for my life changed.

God Shot.

If you made coffee
that changed someone's life…

you should be held responsible
for their life as well.

This line of work isn't as lofty
and graceful as it seems.

Seeing me go eat dinner at this hour
should give you a clue. Don't do it.

I'm being responsible
by telling you that.

If I follow you around,
it'd be stalking, so I won't go far.

Enjoy your meal.

He is so youthful.

He is.

You do like him. You do.

What do you mean?

Playing dumb, are we? That guy earlier.

No.

When I first started making coffee,

they criticized me for being a kid
starting a beverage business.

I was just thinking
that being a barista can be a dream now.

So, you want to make that dream come true?

-That's a separate issue.
-Why is it so complicated?

So, were you really that dissatisfied
with me running the café alone?

My goodness.
Not dissatisfied, I just felt bad.

What is there to feel bad about?
I've been doing fine so far.

What about the future?

Speaking of which, including me,
older people are quite strange.

How much does this guy make?
How big is that guy's house?

This guy has a car with a CC of whatever,
this guy's character scores this high…

They talk about all these numbers
and they just say

that age is just a number.

Does that mean age is important or not?

Oh, this is great.
I can write something on this topic.

You come here to relieve deadline stress
and find another scoop.

I guess I really am your muse, Joo-hee.

Agreed. Today is my treat.

That attitude
is so typical of kids nowadays.

But then again,
he remained polite until the end,

-unlike kids nowadays.
-Just admit that you don't know.

I don't even know what my daughter
thinks after 17 years together.

It's because I'm an old geezer.

Geezer? Latte, back in my day…

Don't do that. The youth don't like that.

But don't I have the right to do so?
I make lattes for a living.

That's true. He's got a point.

But when did you learn all that lingo?

The youth look at me and sing,

"Latte, back in my day,
Latte, back in my day…"

So, I asked them what that meant.

Then they told me
that they were making fun

of old people going on and on
about how it was back in their day.

But still, how can you say that
to someone's face? It's hurtful.

-Red cap, right?
-Yes.

I don't even flinch
if they talk about how it tastes.

I have pride when it comes
to my cooking skills.

If they say it tastes good,
but they don't come because of my nagging,

then it's an issue.
That's why I've been making an effort.

-You should watch and learn.
-Okay.

-Go on and enjoy the food.
-Okay.

She's so cool.

-Should we have a drink?
-Sounds good!

When we were young,
the weakest ABV was 20.

-The world has become weaker.
-Latte, back in my day.

My goodness.

Hello, sir.

If you're not here
as a customer, turn back.

Oh, I wanted to ask you something.

The coffee I drank yesterday
was from Antigua, Guatemala, right?

-And?
-They're such popular beans,

that I've sold and drank
a lot of it at my part-time job.

They're beans that are grown
in fertile, volcanic soil,

so, it's known for its smokiness.

But I didn't taste that at all
in your coffee.

Instead, I tasted a subtle sweetness.
Was I right with that flavor profile?

-Let me ask you something as well.
-Okay.

Jeju Island
is a volcanic region as well, isn't it?

But do their tangerines
have a smoky aroma?

No.

Now that you mention it, you're right.

That's because it's not a terroir issue,
it's a roasting one.

If you do a dark roast with any bean
as if you're burning them,

you're going to get a smoky aroma.

But I don't believe

that's the best way to bring
the bean's characteristics alive.

I'm sure
everyone's preferences are different.

Your flavor profile was correct.

Oh, so that's why
you even do the roasting yourself.

Thank you for your kind words.

Hello.

-What now?
-I wanted to ask you something.

You talked about dark roasts yesterday.

When you roast…

Thank you again for today.

I already ordered.

What are you doing here?

Hello. I wanted to ask you something.

Me? I don't really know
much about coffee.

That night, you said something.

What?

It sounded a bit like, "Gotcha."

Oh, God Shot?

Pardon? Can you repeat that?

Oh, that's right.
I wanted to ask you something as well.

Me?

Do you remember the song
that you heard that day?

Song?

Yeah, the song that was playing
when you woke up after snoring.

I'm a music columnist,

so, I've been putting together
their playlists.

I've been wondering that, all of a sudden.

I don't really remember.

Hello.

I wanted to ask you something.

Are you free?

-What's your name?
-Oh, it's Go-bi. Kang Go-bi.

Every moment is critical in life.

Right. It is.
But the meaning behind my name is--

Hold on.

-You're not getting any coffee?
-I just suddenly got an idea.

-Thank you.
-I should be thanking you.

Coffee that inspires creativity

or one that dramatically flips
your life around is called a God Shot.

Oh…

-It's already thoroughly explained here.
-Huh?

Hello.

I wanted to ask you something…

Hold on…

Sorry.

ICED L 1
ICED A 1

ICED A 1, ICED MOCHA 1, LATTE 1

Hello.

I wanted to ask you something
today as well.

-Again?
-Yes.

You see. There are teens, twenties,
and thirties…

Welcome.

Sir. Sir.

I figured out the identity
of that person outside.

-Identity? What is it?
-The Question Murderer.

The Question Murderer?

He has so many questions.
How is the local demographic?

Is the birth rate high? Is there
a good flow of floating population?

Is there a diverse group
of office structures nearby?

Was the owner of this building self-made
or did they inherit it from their parents?

It's an endless stream
of strange questions.

-What would you like?
-I'll take an iced Americano.

Do you want to come inside for a moment?

Me?

Let's at least introduce ourselves.
I'm Park Seok.

-I'm Kang Go-bi. My name means--
-Go-bi.

Can you make me a latte?

Latte?

Oh, latte…

I can.

Come on in.

Let me know if you need anything.

Okay.

I guess working part-time at a café
for a long time wasn't a bluff.

-Is it drinkable?
-I didn't say it was good.

It's not a complete display
of my capabilities.

At the end of the day, I'm old-fashioned.

I'd like to drop
the honorifics with the employee

I'm paying and teaching.

-Pardon?
-Are you going to be okay with that?

-Then…
-Come by 8:00 a.m. tomorrow.

Let's get started
after we sign the contract.

Am I officially hired? Thank you.

Go home now.

-I made that mess. I should clean it up--
-You can start tomorrow.

Oh, okay.

Then I'm going to head out first.

I'll see you tomorrow.

You left something out.

Pardon?

The meaning behind your name.

My parents wanted me to live a life

that was pure and vast
like the Gobi Desert.

Go-bi.

Nice name.

-Welcome.
-You got a part-timer?

The owner here is no ordinary person.

How does it feel to experience
such luxury in the middle of a weekday?

Go-bi should be doing okay, right?

Did the owner change?

The owner isn't here?

You want us to drink this?

I was actually dying
for coffee from this place.

This is seriously divine intervention.

Why are you doing this to me?

I just wanted to have some tasty coffee
and cheer up.

Is that so difficult?
