Elevator doors open.
-What are you doing? -Oh, I, uh…
-Excuse me? -We're delaying your meeting
by an hour.
Director Go got into a minor car accident.
-He did? Okay then. -Yes. Yes, sir.
I've got a sty on my eye, yeah.
Well, aren't you gonna press the floor?
Huh? Oh, right.
Since the meeting has been delayed, I might as well attend the tasting event.
Yes, sir.
The tasting event?

EPISODE 4
What's your feedback? Thank you so much.
Please enjoy.
This is white kimchi ravioli. Yes.
Thank you so much.
We're Team Number one. Yeah.
-Thank you. Please enjoy your food. -Thank you. I will.
-Hey, you should take it easy. -Thank you so much.
You're working so hard when the chefs for the other teams aren't even here.
Yeah, but the other chefs are quite experienced,
while it's the first time for me.
Thank you.
Thanks, we're Team One. This is white kimchi ravioli.
Oh! President Kang is here.
-Oh! Welcome, President Kang. -Thank you all for your hard work.
-President Kang, how are you? -Is that really him?
You should have given us a heads-up that you were dropping by, sir.
Well, you should have been doing a good job even before Mr. Kang came.
And that's exactly the case of Dev. Team One. That's a fact.
Even working alongside the chef himself, Mr. Kang.
-Oh, really? -Yes, sir.
Let me introduce him to you. This is Chef Lee Min-woo from M Kitchen.
He developed the white kimchi ravioli with us.
Kang Tae-moo. It's a pleasure.
Hi. Nice to meet you, sir.
Mm-hmm.
Is this the white kimchi ravioli you made?
-Yes, sir. -Yes.
Here. Please give it a try, sir.
So, Chef Lee.
You should have a better sense.
Sorry?
I heard it was for the staff.
Something this good should have been on the menu in the first place.
Oh-oh!
You mean that sense!
Some sense of humor, huh?
It started off with some extra kimchi at home.
But thanks to Ha-ri, it's now become my signature dish.
Oh, yes, right. I liked Ms. Shin's proposal.
I must say, I could feel just how much trust she has in you.
Actually, they've been good friends since college, so…
I think that's why
Shin Ha-ri and Chef Lee worked so well together, sir.
Yeah, I believe so too.
Now that you mention it, I don't see Ms. Shin around here.
Hey, Ms. Shin. Are you feeling any better?
Want me to go get some meds?
Oh, no. I'm all right now.
By the way, how'd they react to it? To our ravioli?
Do they find it good?
No one's responding to me.
Surely, Mr. Kang must have left by now. Should I slip back?
Did you see President Kang? Man, he's so hot.
And that chef was too. Was his name Lee Min-woo?
Yeah, it was. Oh, and the white kimchi ravioli,
it was my first time trying it but I liked it.
Me too. I thought it was the best out of all the new ones.
Hmm?
Hey, your bruise is getting worse. You wanna put an egg on it?
Don't you know me? I'd rather just eat it.
I'll be fine.
Oh, right. What'd they say at the tasting event?
Everyone told me that the food was good, but I'm not sure if they really meant it.
Trust me. These guys are far from people pleasers.
They can be really picky.
First off, taste-wise, people say it's perfect.
It would take just some more details to finally commercialize it.
Trust me on this. Leave it to me, Chef Lee.
I give all my trust to you, oh, great Ms. Shin.
By the way,
uh, I just remembered, where's your review?
Review in what?
You went to the concert, but you haven't given your review yet.
-Yoo-ra's waiting for it too. -Ah.
How was it? Did you have fun?
Mm-hmm. Yeah, I had fun.
Oh, man. And here I was, hoping you would go there with a date.
I bet it was Young-seo.
Don't worry, I had a date.
Really?
Who is he?
Just this guy I know by chance.
Well, you never told me you were seeing someone.
Do you even know what kind of guy this person is?
Yeah, I guess so.
Oh, you. You're still naive when it comes to dating someone.
Bring him with you sometime, yeah?
I'll take a good look at him for you.
Thanks, Min-woo. I can take care of myself.
Take care of your girl,
instead of your friend who is a girl, okay?
Come on, you two just got back together after breaking up.
Pay more attention to her.
Oh, why is Young-seo so late? Where is she?
Jeez. She's so impatient!
All right, girl. I'm here.
Oh, hey. He looks a lot like the guy who lives next door.
Hold on.
Well, that really is the guy.
YOUNG-SEO
Oh, no, it's President Kang!
He's here, sir.
Hi, there. Welcome. What's up? You didn't mention you were coming.
After trying your dish this afternoon,
I wanted to try some more of your dishes.
Oh, I see. I'm very glad you came, then.
I'll whip up something nice for you.
I knew it. It's a popular spot.
-Please, have a seat. This way. -Right.
Oh, yeah, Ha-ri is here too.
That's weird.
She was here just a moment ago.
Why don't you take a seat first?
Hello.
Hey, Ha-ri. Where are you?
Uh, it turns out a big group came to the chicken shop,
so I think Young-seo and I need to go help out.
Oh, hey!
Okay!
Yeah, sure. I'll see you later then, okay?
Wait, let me get this straight.
Okay, so this handsome guy you saw at the convenience store
-is Secretary Cha, is that correct? -Yeah.
And he's the same Mr. Cha who lives right next door?
Yeah, yeah.
-Just how do you meet someone like that? -That's what I'm saying.
Hey, you don't think I'll run into him here again, right?
This is driving me crazy.
You know what?
Don't even think about coming to my apartment for the meantime.
Or if you really have to, dress up as Shin Geum-hui.
You're the one to watch out.
Don't get all friendly with him and then end up blabbing all about--
about how Shin Ha-ri is actually pretending Shin Geum-hui.
I don't think I'll get to talk to him again.
So there's no way I'll end up blabbing.
-Why? -You know that I messed up the blind date,
so my family's on bad terms with Kang Tae-moo's family.
That's why.
He told me he doesn't want anything to do with me.
-Huh? -Ah! Seriously!
You know, I definitely could have sworn he liked me at first.
No, really! I'm serious here!
What the… You don't believe me.
Hey, is he talking behind my back?
Did he tell Mr. Cha to avoid me 'cause I might be nuts?
Jeez, that petty archaeopteryx.
No, no, I doubt it.
I don't think he's the type to talk badly about other people.
Well, I admit he's got the look,
but he has a, uh, pretty considerate side to him too.
Hey, what's this?
Why are you siding with Kang Tae-moo? That's suspicious.
No, not at all. It's just that I've--
You two even went to that concert together with this fake relationship thing.
And you've fallen for him?
It's nothing like that.
It's just… I didn't know when I saw him from a distance then,
but now that I've seen him up close, look, he's not that bad, okay?
No, really. Don't get me wrong.
I'm just saying he's not half bad. You better not--
Oh, really?
-Is that really all there is to it? -That's right.
Enough about that. Let's order.
So, how was it? Enjoyed your dinner?
Now I understand what Ms. Shin said.
She said your cuisine somehow makes her happy and cheered up.
I totally agree.
She's generous in complimenting my food.
Heard you know each other from college.
We first met when we were 20s,
so we've known each other for seven years now.
Having known each other for seven years.
You two have been just friends this whole time?
Pardon?
Oh. I apologize if that was too personal.
I just assumed that it's possible for either of you
to have developed feelings for the other in that span of time.
I don't regret any of it.
I was really…
I was happy those seven years.
Seven years, huh?
Hey, sir. When you asked Chef Lee about his relationship with Ms. Shin,
was it because of something you heard about her?
What do you mean by that?
I overheard some of the employees talking,
and apparently, Ms. Shin used to have a crush on Chef Lee.
Is that so?
Seems there's someone else just like her. Ms. Shin Geum-hui.
Wow, really?
Did he just avoid me?
Damn.
Hey, you!
Wait a sec. Stay there.
What? Am I a virus or something? Will you die if you catch me?
You don't even want to get in the same elevator as me now?
-It's not like that, it's-- -How can you embarrass me like that?
You're obviously avoiding me here. Don't you have any manners on you?
-What's with you? -I wasn't avoiding you.
It was because of this.
Oh…
I thought it wasn't right to just get on the elevator with this smell.
I was mistaken, then. I'm sorry. I apologize.
Okay, then.
No, wait. Just a sec.
Fine, I admit. It's true what I did to President Kang was wrong.
That's why I apologized to him.
But you know, that's just between me and him.
And doesn't have anything to do with you.
And since we've already met like this, we might not exactly be friends,
but why don't we just be cool and at least say hi?
Sorry, but no. I've never really been a "cool" person.
Gosh, I feel so humiliated.
Is he your older brother or what?
Why do you have to be so damn loyal?
Sir. Yes, I've just arrived here. I'm going up right now. Yes, sir.
TRUE LIGHT FOUNDATION FOR SOCIAL WELFARE
TRUE LIGHT CHILDREN'S HOME
What are you doing here?
Just looking.
You've left this place unchanged.
As it should be.
My grandfather really wants you to move back in.
And so do I. Are you not coming back?
Oh, no. Not ever.
I don't wanna suffer, even when at home.
Suffer?
Hey, wait up! What have I ever…
Ah, would you look at that?
How long has it been since we all ate together like this, huh?
At long last, it finally feels like a home.
Yes, it really does.
What'd I tell ya?
You know if we just had a granddaughter-in-law like Ms. Geum-hui,
along with some adorable little great-grandchildren,
why, I could die a very happy man even tomorrow. Yeah.
You've been saying that ever since I turned 20.
And you never grow tired.
If not for that, what's the point of being rich?
All I ever do is eat alone in this empty house
like a lonely, pitiful, poor old man.
Eating alone is trendy lately.
That's the reason why our products are flying right off the shelves.
You little… You always got something to say!
Look, either get married by year's end or us three
will come together twice, twice a week to eat together.
Grandfather, I think twice a week is too much. It…
My, my schedule is packed and…
Yeah, what he said.
Not to mention I live far away.
You don't know how tired I was when I got up today.
Now that you mention it…
Sung-hoon, you should move right back in.
Look at you. You moved out the instance you could.
How could I forget? I remember that day well.
You moved out the minute you graduated straight out of college.
And you call yourselves my grandsons?
How's my schedule looking this week?
You're free on Friday morning.
So, should we keep that as our next get-together?
Hey, hey, let me look at that.
Ha!
Hey, Tae-moo. Are you fully aware what day this Saturday is?
-Huh? This coming Saturday? -That's right.
One-year anniversary.
-What was that? -What are you doing?
There are things you shouldn't be forgetting, you rascal.
How could you forget a special day like this?
Here, take a look.
29TH SATURDAY
PRESIDENT KANG AND MS. SHIN GEUM-HUI'S ONE-YEAR ANNIVERSARY
Ms. Geum-hui is gonna have to break up
with you again before you come to your senses.
You spoiled brat!
How could you forget a one-year anniversary?
You bastard!
You don't care about your grandfather now.
Why, you! At this rate,
you won't even show up at my annual memorial once I leave.
Wait, how could you say something like that?
Look, it's not that I forgot, okay?
You just what? Hmm?
Why did you go and schedule something else on that day anyway?
I just said it's, uh, it's…
I'm telling you now, Tae-moo, go cancel everything.
Cancel them, then set up a date with Ms. Geum-hui.
I'll go ahead and make reservations.
Now, you go on.
Ah, Manager Oh!
Hey, it's me, Da-goo…
I'm sorry about that.
I was supposed to check on it in case the chairman asks but…
What do we do? Your schedule's already tight as it is.
It's all right.
We can always move a few things around.
You can hardly move a few things around.
NAMHAE
-Hey, what's that? -Huh?
You'll need more of that if you're trying not to be ugly.
Hey, now. It may not make me handsome, okay?
But at least I can make myself look average.
They said they're filming our new product's research process.
They'll put it on the company's YouTube.
So this is the least I can do. I gotta make sure I look good.
Jeez, maybe I should have gotten my hair and makeup done today.
-Uh-huh. -It's fine.
They'll mainly focus on the chefs, anyway.
Us researchers will only be in a shot or two.
All right, everyone, we're here. Let's all get off the bus, please.
Let's get off.
-Oh. -Okay.
Out of the way.
-Hey, we're here. -Okay.
Ah, I'm nervous.
Oh, wow. This looks nice.
Oh, let me help you.
-Oh, thank you so much. -Hey, what's will all these?
Right this way, everybody.
-Oh, oh! That's a good spot. -Oh, I see.
Over here.
Yeah!
-You can put those bags here. -Oh, all right.
Oh, by the way, can you check if we packed
the right number of coats? There should be enough for us.
In all of the eight provinces of South Korea,
there's no other view quite like this one.
Beautiful. It's perfect for de-stressing.
Definitely. Yeah, yeah.
The sweeping luscious farmland, the mountains and the ocean.
Ah. Hmm.
It's just a shame we don't have anyone else to share the scenery with.
All right, stop beating around the bush. Go on, give it to me straight.
What are you trying to say?
Chairman Kang, why don't we just bulldoze all of it and build a nice resort here?
A resort you say?
Look at this land here.
I mean, all this bound of a land just for commercial farming?
Imagine a golf course here and a ski resort by the mountains there.
Both of them will go so well together.
We could fill the whole place up with our affiliate franchises.
Wouldn't that be something, Chairman Kang? What do you think?
Why is it you're coming straight to me about this and not with President Kang?
We already submitted a business proposal, but he immediately shut it down.
Is that so?
President Kang is still too young and inexperienced.
He can't make a bold move like you'd do.
He doesn't seem interested in potential high-revenue plans.
All he ever does is play house all day with his group of chefs.
Now, if you were to directly suggest the plan, sir…
Are you trying to get President Kang to fire you too, huh?
Sir?
Did you think I wouldn't notice that you've been buying off the land here
piece by piece, Director Go?
Do you really take me for a fool?
Uh, Chairman Kang, that's not… That's not what I'm doing at all, sir.
It seems to me like you're trying to make a quick buck
by jacking up the real estate prices around here.
Well, stop with your ridiculous ideas and just continue
supporting President Kang with his ways, is that clear?
No, wait. Chairman Kang, wait a sec. You misunderstood.
All they ever do is try to find ways to fill up their own pockets.
Hold on. Stop the car for a bit.
Here are the produce go food product researchers…
Carefully picked from their premium partner farms themselves…
To be delivered…
and, uh, and present…
uh, to our chef.
Cut! Okay, cut!
-Jeong-hwan. -Yes, sir.
-Hey! -Yes, I'm coming.
What the hell is wrong with the actor?
I feel like I really felt that one.
-It was just a bit awkward. Yeah. -Oh.
Ah, should I give it some more?
Come on! How can you mess up for over ten times with a short line?
And what was the point of the makeup? Your acting is still crap.
That's because I have a fear of being on camera.
Whoa, one more cheongsimhwan?
He knows it's not candy, right?
I swear,
if Ms. Shin's eye wasn't like that, we would have switched you out. Damn it.
Yeah, well…
Whatever, okay? It's not like we're filming a classic.
I can take care of myself, so don't you worry about a thing! It's all good.
"I can take care of…" Just shut it, okay? Don't say stupid things!
All right, everybody. Stand by, please.
-Okay! -All right.
Oh, thanks, Ms. Shin.
Get it right this time.
-Is this something to get yelled at? -Break a leg.
-You can do this. -Yeah, thanks.
Break a leg, everybody!
All right, then. Ready, set, cue!
Here are the produce go food product researchers…
carefully picked from their premium partner farms themselves…
to be delivered and presented to our chef!
Hey, nice catch there!
-Hey, Chairman Kang. -Chairman Kang!
Oh, chairman. Hello!
Oh, man.
-Chairman! -Hey, hey, be careful now. Don't trip.
Oh, right. Here it is.
Oh, come on now. Really?
Why did this thing suddenly get much bigger?
Oh, come on!
Jeez, why did he have to walk past where we were shooting?
He won't recognize me, will he?
Hey, you know what? It's my first time seeing the chairman this close.
I'm guessing Ms. Yeo and Chairman Kang are pretty close?
Oh, no. Not even close. Those two aren't close at all.
She's only ever seen him that close-up a bunch of times.
She's just sucking up.
It's all part of the job, that's all.
It must be difficult to work with President Kang
because of how much of a stickler he is, huh?
Not at all, sir. Since President Kang knows the whole process
from the ground up better than anyone,
we have great communication. Oh, and more fulfilling work.
Oh, you don't say?
What was that?
Oh, by the way…
Hmm?
What's that noise? It's been going on for quite a while now.
Oh, yes. I hear it too.
What a weird noise that is.
Oh, what's this?
Looks like somebody forgot to take their cellphone with them.
Oh, I think it belongs to one of our employees, maybe Ms. Shin's.
Oh.
Hey, Ms. Shin!
Ms. Shin!
-Wait, me? -Uh-huh.
-Huh? Wait up. -Come quick.
What's up?
Come.
Mm, yeah. You called for me, ma'am?
Yes, Ms. Shin. I think this phone belongs to you. You must have left it.
So, there it was. Yes, that's my phone. Thanks so much.
Hold on, I think somebody's calling you.
What's this?
"Archaeopteryx?"
ARCHAEOPTERYX
Oh! Crap. Seriously? Shit.
No, I'll give it to you if there's any leftover that is.
Oh, well. You're welcome, though you didn't say thank you.
Oh, come on.
Damn it. Why'd you have to pick the worst time to call me?
Why weren't you picking up just now? Call me back.
-It's an emergency. -Look, this is much more of an emergency.
Can they see me out here?
RESTROOM
Oh, the bathroom! Oh! Ooh!
Hello, Ms. Shin?
Hey, what do you mean it's an emergency? What's going on?
Never mind that. Why weren't you picking up earlier?
Because it's against company policy to use our phones during work hours.
What? What company doesn't let you use your phone?
Why did you call? Is there anything you need?
Would it kill you to exchange pleasantries first?
I'll open it up for us. Hi. How have you been?
Did your eyes get better? Whatever, et cetera.
Oh, right. I'm so sorry. I just have a lot going on at the moment.
Oh, and my eye's all right.
I just wanted to ask, do you know what day this Saturday is?
This Satur… Saturday?
Hold on.
Huh? Oh, isn't that our fake one-year anniversary?
You're doing better than me. I'd forgotten all about it.
I made it to college using this memorization skill alone, so.
Why? Why do you ask about it all of a sudden?
My grandpa found out about it, so things got a bit messed up.
Ah.
Your grandfather? I see.
Would you like to…
meet for dinner with me tonight?
I'm afraid I can't. I'm out on a business trip.
A business trip?
Yeah, the company kinda scheduled everything in the last minute.
There's not much we can do then.
Oh, by the way, that song. It turns out it's rather popular.
Oh, yeah? What song is it?
I mean the song you've set as your ringback tone.
I've been hearing it play everywhere lately.
Ah.
Anyway, I'll be calling you again tomorrow, then.
Okay.
What kind of company bans people from answering their phones
and sends somebody with an eye injury on a business trip?
Hmm.
Chairman Kang, are you okay?
Are you feeling all right? You've suddenly broken into a sweat.
No, it's just…
uh, stomach's being a little weird.
Oh, maybe it's because you suddenly had something cold. I can…
I'll, uh, get you something warm. It'll only take a second.
Actually, that's not what I… Wait, instead of…
Oh, dear. I just wanna go use the bathroom right now. Where is it?
Goodness.
Hello, sir.
Chairman Kang, I just wanna say it's an honor to be here.
When I woke up today, I knew today would be eye-opening.
What was that? Did you say "eye-opening"?
Oh, man, my stomach.
Yes, sir! "Waking up" is "eye-opening."
Ah.
You know what, sir? You're an inspiration.
I used to be afraid of hurdles in life, but you've inspired me…
to get over all of them. Salute!
Now, now. You're a bit young to be making dad jokes.
Even I don't do those.
God, my stomach.
It's because of an anti-gravity book I read.
It was impossible to put down!
-Listen, son. I need to use the restroom. -Mm-mm.
I'm afraid I'm not done yet, sir. For I still have a few more jokes left…
about how completely and utterly unemployed I am right now
thanks to you, sir, but I suppose, none of them work!
My stomach.
Are you a banker 'cause I need a loan.
Now, talk. Where's the bathroom around here?
Oh, wow. I didn't know my ringback tone was still that song.
I've forgotten all about it.
Okay, how do I do this? How do I cancel?
-Oh, man, my stomach. -Right this way, sir.
-Right here. -Why is it so far away?
Here.
Oh, no. One second, sir.
Ms. Shin! That's you in there, right?
I saw you running towards here. You better make it quick, okay?
Okay, I'm coming out.
Cool. Sir, your restroom is ready.
I hope you get to empty what you need to your heart's content.
To healthy bowels!
Hey, why did you… Why'd you go running back in like that?
-Excuse me! Do you hear me? -What do I do?
What is up with this girl? Great, there's only one stall here.
-Damn it. -What to do? My stomach.
Man, this is bad.
Excuse me, but I really need to use the restroom now.
Please, miss, could you hurry up in there a bit?
Can you hear me?
Ah, this little… At least give me an answer!
-I really need to go! -Oh! What do I do?
This won't do. You leave me no choice.
-One, two, three! -Two…
Cold! It's cold!
Oh, it's so cold. I can't take it!
-Chairman Kang! -You couldn't have come out any sooner?
Oh, no! Chairman Kang, are you all right?
What's that noise?
Chairman Kang!
Why are you on the ground, sir?
Are you hurt anywhere? Sir!
-How did you end up like this? -It's so cold.
Right this way, sir.
Over here.
Damn it. I might as well be wearing shorts right now.
-It's so cold out. -I'm sorry, sir.
Oh, my.
Thank you.
Chairman Kang, we are so sorry about this mess. Please forgive us.
That won't be necessary.
Good luck with the rest of today's shoot.
All right. I'll get going now.
Why, you!
Let's go.
Yes, sir.
-Goodbye, sir. Take care. -Bye, sir.
-You take care of yourself! -Yes, sir!
I hope the pants are comfortable! I'm Associate Director Gye!
Ms. Shin, you should have been more careful!
-I'm so sorry. -Yeah.
-You should be careful yourself, Mr. Gye. -Why is that?
You might expose something no one wants to see.
Oh!
Before we launch our product "A Collaboration With the Chef,"
we are planning to put together videos of interviews with the chefs
as well as the manufacturing process. We'll be spreading it on social media.
You said you were gonna film the researchers today, right?
That's right.
We've actually received a portion of the footage.
Would you like to take a look at them?
Sure, I would.
Here are the produce go food product researchers…
Carefully picked from their premium partner farms themselves…
To be delivered and presented to our chef!
We also have behind-the-scenes footage.
Would you like to see them?
…and presented to our chef!
Cut! That was good. Let's do another take.
Ms. Shin, how do you keep catching the cabbage?
It must be tough on you.
It will go soft and turn to waste if it keeps falling.
It's only right for a food researcher
to care about the ingredients. Good job.
This would be great for a behind-the-scenes video,
-don't you think? -I do. Sounds like a good idea.
-Break a leg. You can do it. -Okay.
Yes, what is it?
Break a leg everybody!
What?
Excuse me.
I think that's my mailbox.
Oh, hello. Good evening, miss. I, I live up here in unit 622.
I'm sorry but I kinda grabbed your mail by mistake, so…
I'M SORRY I TOOK YOUR MAIL BY MISTAKE
-Sorry. I apologize if I've offended you. -Oh, no. Don't. It's all right.
I mean, it's only human to make mistakes sometimes, right?
Besides, you apologized, so it's fine.
'Cause I'm cool enough to let go of these things.
Thank you so much for understanding.
-You just moved here, didn't you? -Yeah. Wait, how'd you know?
Oh, I happen to have seen your furniture getting brought in and wow,
it's… I have to admit you have great taste.
I'm guessing you're quite fond of vintage objects.
Oh, yes. Well…
I'm actually a furniture designer, so I couldn't help but peek.
See, with just furniture alone, you can tell a lot about the person.
So you're a designer, huh?
Now that we've already talked, let's not be strangers.
Uh, sure. I can always stop to say hi to my neighbors.
You rude and inconsiderate bastard.
Even with your grandfather in this state.
By the way, the staff mentioned to watch out for just one thing.
What? What is it? What's wrong with me?
-You're a hypochondriac. -Why, you dirty little good for--
They even took a CT scan, but couldn't find anything.
So, why overreact so much?
What? I'm not overreacting.
Do you even know how hard I fell
because of that girl Shin Ha-ri, or Shin Na-ri, whatever her name is.
She didn't bother catching an old man as he was falling right down!
I'm sure Ms. Shin didn't do it on purpose.
And to be honest, I like her. She's good at her job.
Oh, you like her, huh?
Not to mention she looked all worn out.
Her hair was all messed up, like she was a ghost or something.
That was a wig, right?
Well, either way, I didn't like her one bit.
Maybe she's shy?
Hey, hear me out, but look at Ms. Geum-hui, hm?
She's just around her age, but look at how bright and how swift she is.
Sounds appealing, right?
How nice is that?
Mr. Chairman, may I ask where I should send the medicine you requested?
Oh, yes, right. About that, it's, uh…
Hey, you. What's Ms. Geum-hui's address?
What?
Yes, hello?
So, how was your business trip?
Oh, good. I actually just got back home.
Good to know then.
I'm in front of your house. Can I see you for a bit?
You're in front of my house? Uh, oh no! Wait…
Come out, I have something for you. It won't take long.
I'm kinda in a situation where I can't get out right now.
Really?
Should I just leave it at the shop then?
At the shop?
No, no, no! Don't do that. Hold on.
I'm gonna…
Sorry, were you waiting long?
Who are you…
Oh.
I wasn't, but… Hang on. What's all this?
Oh, told my folks I'll be delivering something.
It will be a problem if they ask who I was gonna meet.
It's not like I can say I'm meeting my fake boyfriend.
1. TELL ME WHAT YOU WANT
2. THERE ISN'T ANYONE WHO RECOGNIZES ME, RIGHT?
3. MAN… THIS IS EMBARRASSING…
4. I'M IN SUCH A PICKLE…
I'm sorry. I didn't even consider that.
I just wanted to give this as soon as I could.
Hey, wait. What's this?
Grandpa went to a traditional clinic.
He got this tonic because he thought of you.
-Is your grandfather injured that badly? -What?
How did… How did you know that my grandpa had been injured?
Oh.
GRANDPA, PAIN, CLINIC, TONIC
What? I mean…
You did say he went to a traditional clinic
so I thought maybe he got hurt. Yeah, that's the first thing I thought of.
Hmm.
You see, he just had a minor fall, but he tends to overreact about things.
Oh, I see. Then please, tell your grandpa thank you for me.
By the way…
I saw this ointment on my way here. And they said it's good on bruises.
Here, you should try this.
Oh, you really didn't have to do this.
IS HE WORRIED ABOUT ME?
But thanks a lot.
Oh, wait, just a sec.
Here.
Wait. Is that fried chicken?
It'll be weird if I went to deliver fried chicken
without bringing some with me.
You should have some with your grandfather.
You know, our chicken's really good.
Oh, they're looking for me now.
I'm gonna get going, then. I'll see you this weekend, okay?
Oh, wow. Look at all this stuff.
And here I was thinking he was cold.
OINTMENT
But looks like he can be sweet at times.
I went out to see her face just to check on how her bruise is.
So what?
Why, why do I care if he's sweet or not?
Jeez.
Hey, stop it.
Your eye looks completely healed now.
Oh, yeah. The ointment you gave me was really good.
That's good to hear.
Oh, hey. So, where are we headed right now?
Since it's our first anniversary, we need to go somewhere nice.
BE STRONG, GEUM-HUI
Are you a fool, Geum-hui?
Why can't you just say that I'm your man?
Why can't you just say this man belongs to you alone?
How can I say all that only looking like this, Gwang-bok?
I wanna buy all of this. From end to end.
Name your price. How much do you need?
Ah! Hey, look. Same clothes, just like yours.
What are you talking about?
Why have something on display if it's not even on stock?
See that. It's the same. It's the same clothes I bought you.
It's exactly what Geum-hui's about to wear.
Oh, whatever. That TV show doesn't make any sense.
What kind of rich guy buys his girlfriend a shirt
that's worth only 15,000 won?
Please, that's just a bunch of advertisement.
They film the show at any store that's willing to sponsor them, okay?
That's what Young-seo said.
But still, you can't deny how lucky Geum-hui is.
Gwang-bok's buying her the entire store and everything.
Well, I heard, Man-sik, the guy who used to follow me around,
runs his very own company now. His very own.
I'm sorry so sorry then.
If only I'd kept my love for you a secret, then you never…
would have worked this hard.
Hey! Hey!
By the way, where did Ha-ri go just now?
She's been going out every weekend lately.
-Do you think she's dating someone? -Date? What are you talking about?
It's so obvious.
She's probably with Young-seo. They're both single.
They must be gossiping and acting all pitiful.
Welcome and enjoy your stay.
Let me lead you this way, please.
Whoa.
Oh, the smell's really good.
Please bring these out. And everything in this row.
-We'd like to see them in person. -Yes, sir. Right away.
Hey, what's your weird vibe and cheesiness in here?
I think you've seen too many TV series.
Oh, no, not me. It's Grandpa who's seen too many.
What?
If you don't perform well here. My grandpa will hear about it.
So do your best. Like you're my real girlfriend.
Huh?
Shall we try on the others as well?
Ta-da.
-We'll take a look at this too. -All right, sir.
Which one of these would you like to try on?
Yeah, I like this one. What do you think, Geum-hui?
Yeah, I like it too.
Oh, you have a very good eye, sir. Excellent choice.
Let me help you with your payment over here.
Do you happen to have this in the next size, miss? I can't zip it up.
Oh, actually, we only have one of this in the country right now.
This fits you well. It's just the right size, miss.
Oh, yeah?
It's so damn expensive, but they're so… stingy in using more fabric.
I have a bad feeling about this.
-Shall we go then? -Yes.
Hello, long time no see.
Oh, my God!
Welcome back, Ms. Jo! It's been so long since I last saw you here.
Hello. I'm here to buy a dress to wear to the Founding Commemoration party.
Okay, Ms. Jo. Let me show you this--
Stop!
Never mind.
Kim Se-jeong.
The white dress she wore to the press conference
of her new TV show.
The dress they only imported one stock off to South Korea.
Yes, that one. Where is it?
Oh, that dress? I'm afraid it just got sold.
What? I mean, who got it?
To that gentleman there.
Thank you. Goodbye.
Huh? That's Kang Tae-moo.
What in the world! Who's the heck is that girl next to him?
Remember to nourish and protect your skin before time leaves its mark.
Cut! All right, that was good.
Excuse me, sir. We'll just fix the model's hair and makeup
before shooting the next shot.
All righty then, let's do that.
Could you, uh…
Could you make sure to remove the flyaway hair
and the oiliness from the model's face?
Okay.
Hello, my babies.
Okay. Okay.
Hi there, Ms. Jin.
What are you doing?
Aren't you gonna say hello to your director?
Oh, right! Director Jo, sorry about that.
I didn't recognize you
because your face changes so much every time I see you.
I swear you look so different from before.
Was it your forehead you had touch up this time?
Wha, what do you mean? I didn't get anything touched up!
Aren't you aware that I'm a naturally beautiful woman?
Yu-jeong, if…
I mean, Director Jo, if you're a naturally beautiful woman,
then does that make ramen an organic and plant-based super-food?
-Hey! -What?
-Boss. -Fine, then.
You know what? I think you're acting all tough with your uncle backing you up.
But remember at work, I'm in a higher position than you,
and I won't go easy on you just 'cause you're my cousin.
I mean, I'm sorry. I'll be the bigger person.
Why? Oh, I just remembered you must be so stressed
because you got rejected by Kang Tae-moo.
Oh, my mistake.
I'm sorry, but what did you just say? What was that?
Kang Tae-moo.
Apparently, he has a girlfriend now.
Her hair was so nicely done, it was stunning.
Not to mention her eye makeup was too, man.
She was so much prettier than you.
I should know, I saw them shopping at a boutique with my very own eyes.
I'm telling you, they look so official.
That's enough, Director Jo!
All of the employees here have been working so hard
just to shoot this commercial. Even on weekends! But you!
You've been out doing nothing but shopping
when you as a director should be setting an example here.
Not really.
No, really. That's not what I was…
I was just maintaining my appearance as director, you know?
Mm-mm.
You should maintain appearances as a director by working hard,
not by shopping for whatever at the mall.
Also, if you have time to go shopping, I figure,
you have the time to visit a dermatologist as well.
No really, look at all those fine wrinkles around your eyes.
-You know they look just like ramen. -Hey!
What the heck? What wrinkles are you talking about?
Look, if I were you, I'd go right now.
Goodness me, looks like you're also working hard today,
little Ms. Shin Geum-hui.
I'm so sorry, Ha-ri.
Huh.
That's a sample.
You have the grilled rosy sea bass
and the anchovy salad garnished with lotus root.
It also has asparagus and arugula puree. Please enjoy your meal.
Smells so good, doesn't it?
I bet you're a regular here.
Everyone including the chef recognized you since we walked in.
You came here with a girlfriend, didn't you?
Would you really take your boyfriend to the fried chicken shop
that's owned and run by your parents at home?
They'll immediately gonna do a background check.
Sorry, what do you mean by that?
This restaurant we're in, my grandpa owns it.
Chairman Kang Da-goo owns this?
Well, the chef you saw just now is the owner, at least, on paper that is.
Oh.
Wait, this one tastes a bit familiar.
This dish was invented at this restaurant, it should be your first time tasting it.
You know how anchovies are just fermented fish, right?
No, wait. Maybe it's 'cause it taste similar to jeotgal.
It tastes like--
Oh, I know, it tastes a bit like fresh kimchi!
I have to say, Ms. Shin, you have an accurate palete.
What?
That dish you ate, I actually made it myself.
Wait, you made this?
Lately, I've been planning on how to make kimchi more localized.
If cabbage isn't native in a country, then you could make kimchi
with a vegetable that's most popular in the area.
Say, for example, cilantro in Southeast Asia.
You can make it with that, since that's what's popular there.
Or instead of fish sauce, you can use anchovies for taste.
It's the same fishy taste,
but foreigners are more used to the taste of anchovies.
Sorry about that. It's boring, huh? Talking about work?
Oh, no, I'm enjoying it.
I'm always interested when it comes to food.
The food will get cold if we keep at it.
Let's keep eating.
Okay.
It sure is nice having a gym right in front of my place. All right.
Oh, wow. It's big too.
All right, let's do this.
Hello there.
Oh, yeah, right.
I forgot you said you don't even want to say hi to me, am I right?
Well, I'll just be taking back the hello then.
You can just pretend it never happened.
You can use it first.
That's not what I wanted.
Oh, are you here to work out?
Oh, hello there.
-All right, one second. -Yes?
You're doing good,
but maybe you can just straighten your spine a little bit.
-Okay. -Breathe out as you lower it. Go.
Yes. Okay now, slowly raise it.
-You mean like this? -Yeah.
He's pretty handsome and clearly so well-mannered.
And above all, he's obviously interested in me.
Problem is I'm not feeling anything.
Meanwhile, that guy has gotten no manners and is super annoying.
And on top of that, he has zero interest in me.
But look at him.
He's making me feel a whole lot of things right now.
Oh, damn it! That guy's totally my type. It's not fair.
-Wow. You're a really good teacher. -Are you getting tired?
No, no. I'm all right.
Hi, good evening.
By the way, what time is it?
Huh? I don't know. My phone's in my locker.
It's already seven past eight.
See, it's right there.
Thank you so much.
Why would someone who sees just fine wear glasses?
Here, this is for you.
It's for me? What is it?
Oh, it's a standing lamp.
I wanted to apologize for taking the wrong package the last time.
Oh, no, it's okay. You didn't have to.
Really, don't worry about it.
This is actually, uh, something I designed myself. So take it.
I was hoping I might even get some feedback from you,
so don't think too much of it.
Uh, you really didn't have to, though.
Thanks, I guess.
Oh, come on. These clothes are so tight.
I didn't even get to eat much.
Oh, crap. Seriously?
Congratulations on your first anniversary.
Thank you all for congratulating us.
Ms. Shin, let's blow on it together?
Yeah, sure.
All right. One, two, three.
Oh, come on. Stop it.
What's with you? What's so funny?
Oh, I'm sorry.
I've never seen any clothes just rip like that.
Hey, I told you, didn't I? It's not me. It's these darn clothes.
I mean, how is this small? These are like kids' clothes.
There's so much issues with women sizing lately.
Oh! Ow, ow, ow, ow!
Oh, great. Now it's my heels.
You should be careful.
You're right. Thank you.
Wow!
I've never seen the fireworks at Han River before.
Having watched in on TV back then…
I didn't know it was this pretty.
Don't you think?
Yeah, it's pretty.
Very pretty.
Hey, by the way, don't you have to tell your grandfather about our date tonight?
Don't worry about it.
Manager Oh probably told him about it.
Ah.
Oh, what do we do about this?
You can't even return it 'cause it's all ripped.
That's till my gift to you, despite our fake relationship.
Thought I'd make you pay for it?
Oh.
I had fun on our fake anniversary date tonight.
The same goes for me too.
Our first anniversary date.
I better head inside then.
Uh…
I got to wear such expensive clothes today.
Hey, Ha-ri! Hey, Shin Ha-ri!
Come on, a person's got to have some morals.
You're out all day on a nice Saturday.
Can you switch with me now? Huh?
Yeah, of course. I'll be right out.
Get out.
The number you have dialed is out of service.
Hey, Ha-ri.
Oh, Min-woo. Hey, what's up?
I brought some abalone for your mom.
-Oh, wow. Really? You go ahead inside. -Mm-hmm, see you inside.
Mm.
Hold on, why is Ms. Shin…
NATIONAL ID CARD SHIN HA-RI
Hmm?
Yes, hello?
Hello? Are you there, Mr. Kang?
Shin Ha-ri, Shin Geum-hui, Shin Ha-ri, Shin Geum-hui…
Again. Again.
You really have no idea who Shin Ha-ri is?
Schedule a meeting at two with Food Product Development Team One.
You want me to go to the go food Founding Ceremony…
Cheers!
-Shin Ha-ri! -Huh?
Get this woman out of here, now!
