Love is for Suckers (2022–…): Season 1, Episode 1 - Curious Yeo-Reum - full transcript
NAMES, ORGANIZATIONS AND INCIDENTS
IN THE DRAMA ARE NOT REAL.
ALL THE STORIES IN THIS EPISODE
ARE FICTITIOUS CREATIONS.
Hello. Hello.
Hello.
Hello, Producer Gu!
It's been a while.
How have you been?
What are you filming?
Producer Gu!
Glad to see you!
Hello, Producer Gu!
-Hello!
-Hello!
We missed you!
-It's been so long!
-Yeah.
Wow. you're still beautiful!
Please get together as the final couples
of Kingdom of Love S2.
We'll take some couple shots.
Thank you.
We're done with the couple shots.
We'll take a break now.
-Good work.
-Thank you.
Buy some chicken feet on the way home.
Oh my.
Order it with your own fingers.
This punk.
-Yeah, what?
-Jae-hoon. Chicken feet.
Soju too while you're at it.
If you could call me, wouldn't it be
much more efficient to order it yourself?
The delivery fee would cost more
than food if I ordered it.
Please buy it on the way home.
Yeo-reum really wants chicken feet!
Gu Yeo-reum, don't you feel sorry
for your body?
And why should I be sorry for my body?
You eat chicken feet at night
and take bloody crap in the morning.
John Jang read my text but ignored it.
John Jang?
The young kid you're having a fling with?
I think he might be sick or really busy.
You've been dumped, ma'am.
Buy the ones with bones.
And soju with the red cap.
When will she grow up?
Okay, let's go!
Hey, get me some chicken feet to go.
To go? You should eat it here.
Producer Gu wants some.
Fire!
Hey, it's Park Jae-hoon!
You were her bread boy in high school.
You're 37 now and still delivering
chicken feet for her? I'm proud.
When did I ever deliver for her?
You're doing it now.
I'm just showing kindness
to a poor neighbor.
Oh, is that so?
Great to see two lonely middle-aged people
depending on each other.
Who... is depending on... who?
Gu Yeo-reum is just... a burden.
A... burden.
So how spicy would the burden
like her chicken feet, delivery boy?
So spicy that it would rip
her butthole, sir.
Got it, delivery boy.
-Need help?
-What help? You want to serve me too?
Can't he just buy them without bothering?
JOHN JANG
Chef John?
Producer Gu, what are you doing now?
Can I see you now?
Right now?
-Yeah, I'm coming.
-Hey, sorry! I can't eat chicken feet.
John Jang wants to see me now.
John Jang? I thought he ghosted you.
Who knows? He said he'll come right now.
Hey, I think he's going to ask me out.
Look at you getting ahead of yourself
when he's not even thinking about it.
If he's not going to ask me out,
why would he want to see me now?
Don't lend him money if he asks for it.
Should I just make the first move?
Miss Gu, you'll really end up
at the police then.
He'll never ask you out.
Why not? Who won't he? Why?
It's over if he doesn't ask
after the third date.
You guys had this fling for more
than three months, right?
-Yes.
-I told you it's over.
I'll burn my hands if he asks you out.
Hey, forget your hands and make a bet.
-One million won.
-You'll bet that much?
He is not going to sleep with you.
I'll bet two million on this.
What you said now is really insulting.
No. it's not an insult.
I'm just saying the truth which can hurt.
One million for dating,
two million for sleeping?
-Sure.
-Get the cash ready.
I've changed my concept
from natural look to super sexy.
You're done.
When will she grow up?
Does she even know what sexy is?
Chef John.
What brings you here at this late hour?
I had something to say.
Want to come in?
Maybe I'll come in next time.
Shall we go for a drive?
Watch your head.
-It's the Iced Americano you like.
-Thank you.
That perfume scent.
I really like it.
When I was in Paris,
I liked this scent so I went around
looking for it.
This guy and I met
as a cast member and a producer.
We went on seven dates
and even went as far as light kissing.
Dating someone that I met from work...
It was really uncomfortable at first.
But here we are thanks to
this young guy being so direct.
It's now time to clearly define
our relationship once and for all.
Producer Gu, people are all
the same these days.
Sneakily rushing after a fling.
But that's not my style.
I think it's better to be direct.
I also really like the direct style.
I really enjoyed our dates.
I also enjoyed them.
I think we're similar in many ways.
Similar hobbies, similar interest
and similar eating habits.
Kid, if we have similar eating habits,
we'll also be compatible in bed.
But chemistry is missing between us.
What's... What's missing?
Chemistry.
I'm not into you, so we...
Let's stay as good friends.
Hello! This is John Jang.
So, our main ingredient is Spoon Worm
today.
Wow, look at how big this is.
We'll add the prepped Spoon Worm
in the ramyeon.
Spoon Worm has a sweet taste
due to glycine and alanine.
Everything he does is dislikable.
Chef John, you could've called
or messaged me to tell me.
Why did you come all the way
to tell me to my face?
For good manners.
Face-to-face is better
than saying it remotely.
Above all, because you're six years older
than me...
So to respect elders.
-Want to write your will?
-Sorry?
Anyway... I get your message.
A good friend is fine.
Let's be that way.
Yeo-reum, I knew you were really cool.
Let's not be awkward at the studio.
We should just focus on work.
It sounds really good.
If that's all, then let's go.
I'll drive you home.
By the way, Chef John...
Geez, who is it?
Two million.
You slept with him?
That bastard...
Listen carefully, okay?
This is the last thing I said
to John Jang.
Tell me what it sounds like.
You know, I have burning energy
like acids whoever I am with.
We didn't even do it.
How do you know our chemistry?
Sounds like 'how do you know our chemistry
when you didn't sleep with me yet?'
That's really not what I meant.
I meant, 'he hasn't been in a relationship
with me, so how would he know?'
That's what I really meant.
Oh, boy.
You didn't do it with me,
how would you know our chemistry?
I'm sure it would've been good...
if we did it.
I think you'd be good at it.
But by chemistry, I meant 'tiki-taka'.
Tiki-taka.
Going back and forth.
I don't think we communicate smoothly.
For God's sake!
I don't communicate well
with that bastard.
That's for sure.
It's so embarrassing.
How old is he again?
Thirty-one.
So you were dumped by someone
six years younger than you.
That's pathetic.
So pathetic.
Don't drink too much and let's go to bed.
Jae-hoon...
The pain of a breakup is so much for me.
How's an end to a fling a breakup?
Sometimes, an end to a fling can suck
way more than a breakup.
Hey, Yeo-reum.
Try to be a bit cooler.
I hate the word 'cool'.
And the word 'fling' even more.
Why hate a fling? It's logical.
There's zero responsibility
with only dating-like feelings,
ending it if one feels like it.
I want to protest against
this malicious social phenomenon.
That's not it. Try to look at it
another way.
It retains the pros of relationships
which is the exciting feelings
without the cons,
which is the tiring commitment.
It sounds like trash.
Just accept flings as your daily life
like eating and shitting.
Eating and shitting are not light matters.
If you can't do them,
you'll die.
No. This is why John Jang dumped you.
Who dates like an old person
in this day and age?
Who are you calling old? Why is taking
a person sincerely old? Why old? Why?
No way, who did something old like this?
Yeo-reum. Are you okay?
I'm not okay.
Why did he have to announce it publicly?
Could've sent a group chat
instead of taking effort to handwrite.
To survive in the environment
of 'new media',
they said they'll combine analogue
and direct approaches...
But I had no idea they'd use
cheap shock tactics.
To be honest, this isn't
completely your fault.
Others are competing with masterpiece
dramas and big entertainment show
-You're just being used as a scapegoat.
-Exactly.
And look at this poster,
isn't this going too far?
We aren't in the '80s, what is this?
I'm starting to feel insulted!
You're the one who insulted me.
It feels like my lifespan is shortening
every time I check Ramyeon Chef's rating.
But, director...
I don't think this is completely my fault.
Everyone watches on OTT these days.
Who actually watches TV?
How dare you. Are you having a go at me?
You think you're gen MZ?
Actually, I'm gen M.
Millennial?
Look at you go.
So Producer Gu, the gen M,
what would this be?
There are shows which started at 3
and rise to 20.
How can you start from 5
and fall all the way down to 0?
I'm so sorry.
Watch it.
LET'S STAY
INFORMATION
DNA TV
DIFFERENT & ARTISTIC
-She's in a bad mood.
-Be quiet.
Producer Gu, you okay?
You look like shit.
I'm really going to kill myself
if our rating doesn't get back to 1%.
Spoon Worm was our secret weapon.
But it was buried.
Producer Gu,
I'll take down the rating poster.
I'll burn it and write a written apology.
-Sang-woo, sit down.
-Yes, ma'am.
Producer Gu, did you watch Kingdom of Love
last week?
No, I didn't. I spent nights
in the editing room.
-They had octopus.
-Octopus?
That's our item for this week.
It was ranked in the search engines
throughout the weekend.
Even online communities
are full of parodies.
Isn't that a good thing? As things stand,
let's also do an octopus parody.
Just keep quiet.
Producer Gu, if you want to change it
to different types of octopus--
Why should I change item
because of Kingdom of Love?
I'm sorry.
Producer Gu, you went to the same college
as Kang Chae-ri of Kingdom of Love, right?
Has she always been a sociopath?
I don't know.
I didn't know she existed in college.
I was popular, and she was a loser.
She couldn't even talk to me.
You've grown, Kang Chae-ri.
Hey, where did you get the swimsuit?
It's so pretty!
You fucking bitch.
I heard you talked about me
behind my back.
Did you just swear at me?
You're not even worth responding to.
Look at you trying to act all classy.
You might have better education than me,
my life is still 10 million times better.
I'm an influencer with 30,000 followers.
Do you even know
the meaning of influencer?
Hey!
Influencer. Huh?
Fuck, popular means influencer in English.
-Let go!
-What? What are you going to do?
-You bitch!
-Let go!
Let go! Fuck, I said let go!
This could potentially hit 30%.
Let's have a look.
Did you enjoy the date with her?
No, I didn't.
You're lying.
You had honey dripping out of your eyes.
-Really. I didn't like it.
-Don't lie.
Who's prettier? Me or her?
You're way prettier.
Tonight...
want to stay with me?
A man and a woman enter a hotel room.
Did you really have to
put octopus in here?
Is there any problem?
It was reported to KCC
for being too sexual.
How can you laugh?
It had a positive reception.
It hit the highest rating as well
with memes everywhere on the Internet.
Did the cast agree to it?
They were okay with being filmed?
I got their agreement prior to filming
and reconfirmed during the filming.
Producer Gu, we'll get going first.
Okay, see you soon.
Producer Gu, I just got a call.
The ramyeon company won't renew
the sponsorship contract.
What?
Hey, how many noodles do we have left?
Actually...
Only have five boxes left?
So from now...
Do we have to buy ramyeon ourselves?
A ramyeon show?
Because we couldn't get sponsored?
A big humiliation.
And also, the director has cut down
our production budget by 20%.
What?
Come in.
Director, how can you reduce the budget
for a show in production?
It was ordered from above.
All ads dropped,
how do you think they're liking it?
Director.
-Director!
-What?
They say you should pay more attention to
those lacking.
Could you please at least keep
the staff's wages?
Get through it with determination.
That's also a skill of production.
All the ads dropped out
of Ramyeon Chef, right?
It's in a prime time slot too.
It's probably better to rerun our show.
Hey, Kang Chae-ri.
Most people only think of those things,
but don't actually say them.
Don't you have an etiquette filter
in your brain?
You're right. I don't.
I'm going to kill her.
Producer Gu, have you heard?
Heard what?
Chef John will be on the next season
of Kingdom of Love.
Is that so?
I heard it from a co-worker.
Kang Chae-ri got a contract signed
by Chef John.
To get rid of all women in his life.
Apparently, he has so many women
in his life.
During the Kingdom interview, he said
he has around 100 flings.
A hundred?
Is he King Solomon or what?
You know what's better?
He agreed to show his butt.
On Kingdom of Love S2.
Sounds like it'll be fun, right?
I can watch it over and over again.
-Yes?
-Jae-hoon.
Let's date for a day.
You've finally gone mental.
I came to Ganghwa Island to film.
Come pick me up later.
Dress nicely and bring some flowers too.
Is this because of John Jang?
I can't let it be like this.
-No, I'm not going.
-I'll buy you beef if you come.
I'll buy it on my own.
I'll also do your recycling for a week.
Recycling for a month and Korean beef.
Okay. Fine.
But you have to look nice.
If you look messy...
I'll recycle you.
I got it.
Ganghwa Island, right?
We'll start filming now!
Slate in three, two, one!
Fifty million Koreans.
Fifty million ramyeon recipes.
We search for experts from all over Korea,
battling it out with ramyeon,
it's Ramyeon Chef.
Hello, I'm John Jang.
Do you know what happens when
a three-legged octopus lose two legs?
It will become a one-legged octopus.
Why? It's lost two legs.
So octopus...
Rock, rock, rock, scissors!
Scissors, scissors, paper!
Rock!
Why did I put out rock there? Why?
Honey, since when were you good
at this game? Since you were born?
Hurry up, go clean.
Sit and take a rest.
He's so bad at it.
We're on a break.
I told you to come when we're open.
You always come at this time.
I'm hungry but I'm not here to eat.
He's cleaning the sink.
-Is he a husband or a servant?
-A servant, of course.
My poor friend.
Jae-hoon is here.
I'll finish soon, take a rest.
-I said Jae-hoon's here!
-I miss you too.
You scared me.
Do you at least get paid?
I do, five bills per month.
Only 500,000 per month?
50,000.
Hey, he's not a servant. He's a slave.
Hey, I clean the sink whenever I'm sad.
Moisture, moisture. Humidity, humidity.
Hey, let me borrow your truck today.
Why all of a sudden?
It's just... I'm going
to make Yeo-reum smile.
Right side.
What happened to your butt?
-Don't you dare lend him the truck.
-Of course.
You scared me, knock first.
-What are you going to do to Yeo-reum?
-What would I do to her?
There's an insidious look in your eyes.
You... You know... When Yeo-reum uses me
or treats me bad, you never say anything.
When?
-Whose money is that?
-What?
-Where is it?
-Why is it there?
Where? What is it?
Did you give him the truck keys? You...
Hey, Park Jae-hoon!
You truck thief!
If you do this, organs will come out.
Just peel them out.
I'm going to make vegetable broth first.
Get a radish and cut it like this.
When you're making the broth,
vegetables...
Cut the vegetables into big pieces.
Our expert is speeding up as well.
Put the whole octopus in.
Add seasoning, then the ramyeon...
Decorate it like this.
Then get the broth we made...
We'll film you guys
trying the food together.
Please try our expert's food first
with the chef.
There's a deep sea flavor.
It has a chewy texture. It's the best.
We can't help but exclaim together.
Please look forward to next week's expert.
That's it for Ramyeon Chef today.
Cut! Thank you everyone!
-Thank you for the hard work!
-Well done!
Thank you so much!
Producer Gu, this really was amazing.
We totally owned it!
No way the rating won't be high.
You said the same for Spoon Worm.
Producer Gu, I learned that
an assistant producer's role
is to unconditionally support
and encourage the main producer
who's on a lonely and burdensome journey.
Okay. I'm sorry.
I'm so sorry.
Sang-woo! Let's go to mudflat
to shoot some scenery!
Okay! I'll get going then.
Thank you for the hard work!
Let's go.
How cute!
Older women are cost-effective.
Maybe you don't know, but if you want a
fling that's not too serious,
-you have to meet older women.
-But why?
Older women don't pester men.
They play well by themselves
and spend money well.
You might also learn a thing or two
when you talk to them.
Wow, it's such a great tip.
But... how far did you go
with Producer Gu?
How far?
I could've slept with her, but I didn't.
I only do it with women I'm curious about.
Wow, you're so cool.
-Do squat and you can be cool.
-Okay.
Producer Gu!
I think we're in trouble!
We lost the drone camera.
We borrowed it, it's worth 3,000,000 won.
Producer Gu. Also, the memory chip
with our ramyeon footage...
was inside the drone. If we can't find it,
we'll have to reshoot.
What?
I'm so sorry.
-Search thoroughly.
-I think I looked everywhere.
Really...
-Hey, Sang-woo!
-Yes?
Isn't that the drone over there?
Over there! Right?
It's mudflat over there!
Producer Gu!
How... What...
Producer Gu.
Be careful!
Producer Gu! Watch out!
-Producer Gu!
-Check the files first.
The files are fine!
That's really... That's a relief!
Gu Yeo-reum!
Hey, Yeo-reum!
I brought some bristle grass!
Happy to see me?
I'm here!
Why are you like this?
Everyone else looks fine,
so why just you?
Just leave.
You told me to come.
What's with the attitude to someone
who came all the way here?
Oh, I was in a hurry.
We'll be off first!
Thank you.
If you're coming here anyway,
did you have to embarrass me like this?
It's not like that...
Hey, Yeo-reum. It's my bad. I'm sorry.
Let's go home together.
Look at your clothes too.
Let go.
Hey, Yeo-reum.
FULL OF ROMANTIC LOVE
NEW YORK
FLY THERE NOW
It wasn't a big deal.
-Yes?
-Where are you?
Mom wants you to come to the center.
I'm busy now. Bye.
Wait! You know Mom's feeling kind of low
recently, right?
Don't go against her will
and just come by.
I'm not too sure which one to pick.
Oh, you're here!
Hey, you're here.
What are you two doing?
I'm helping Mom pick artworks
for the poster.
Just pick any, they all look the same.
Do you even hear yourself?
Hitting me all of a sudden?
An artist puts their heart and soul
into making this artwork.
How can you say "just pick any"?
Just pick any?
You just live your life as is.
You're so edgy again today.
Just pick the one on the right
for the poster.
Why? Why the one on the right?
These are a series, but people's sight
will end up on the right side.
What's up with you?
You were being goofy,
why are you saying something cool?
Dad used to like this artist's pieces.
Why is it so hard to see your face?
We live under the same sky of Seoul.
Come on, I text you every day.
You didn't forget about the blind date
tomorrow, right?
When did I agree?
I said no to blind dates.
When did you say that?
You said you'll see any woman
who comes your way.
I said I don't want blind dates.
Wow, you actually have standards.
I thought you dated anyone.
For serious women
who come out to get married,
it's good manners to refuse.
Are you aging backwards?
You're almost a 40-year old man.
When will you stop living so loosely?
What's up with you today, Mom?
And what do you mean "old"?
I'm only 37 now.
He's right, Mom. He's not that old.
You went too far.
Is he in his youth, then?
He's not in his youth.
Even then, an old man is harsh.
I'd say maybe middle-aged.
That's even more annoying.
She's a nice lady, so go and be polite.
I really don't like blind dates.
Isn't she back yet?
Geez, it was just a prank.
Gu Yeo-reum!
Are you off to edit?
Why did you ignore my calls?
Do you know me?
A stranger is talking to me.
Come on, it was just a bit of joke.
I didn't find it funny.
Was showing up in tracksuits and a truck
that embarrassing?
Why are you so shallow?
You're right. I'm shallow.
I thought if a well-groomed man
picked me up,
it'd be less embarrassing to John Jang.
That's why I asked.
I didn't ask for something hard, right?
That's what I don't understand.
Who is this John Jang?
Why are you trying to impress him?
I didn't want to impress him!
Damn it.
You don't understand.
Hey, what's wrong? Are you crying?
It's because I'm so pathetic.
I don't care about relationships.
My life is already busy and tiring
without it.
But...
Sometimes, I feel so pathetic.
Since I reached a certain age,
there hasn't been anyone who liked me.
It feels like there's something wrong
with me.
Why are you putting yourself down?
It's hard to act cool after a fling ends.
It also feels petty
to try to impress guys.
Putting effort, trying hard
and expecting something...
It's all pathetic.
So take it lightly.
Do it the easy way.
Just have flings and dates with people.
Don't see someone if you can't.
There's no need to see anyone
if it's not a great guy.
Why put in so much effort
for a bastard like that?
Because no one puts in effort for me.
From a certain point,
no one is curious about me anymore.
You don't know how it feels.
Damn it.
-Are you okay?
-Are you okay?
Please call 119.
Is this 119? There's an accident here.
It's at the intersection.
Can anyone do first aid?
PLASTIC SURGEON, PARK JAE-HOON
Nice to meet you.
I'll be injecting the filler now.
It will sting, okay?
You're all accomplices.
Hey, Gu Yeo-reum.
What's wrong with my truck?
I think it's got a vintage swag to it.
Honey, will that swag do anything
to John Jang?
It's my fault for expecting Park Jae-hoon
to show some form of male functionality.
Jae-hoon's functionality as a male
was out of this world.
I went to wake him up a few days ago.
In his pants...
Honey!
We are not talking
about that functionality.
It's my fault.
And my fault.
And my fault.
Cheer up!
Want some more black beans?
No, it's fine.
-What's up, Dae-sik?
-Hey, Jae-hoon.
We've become Judas Iscariot
because of you!
Did Yeo-reum come by? What did she say?
You moron.
You could've dressed up a bit!
How bad must it be if she asked you?
It was just a small joke...
A joke?
Hey, Park Jae-hoon!
That bastard called John Jang or Shit Jang
or whatever,
said that Yeo-reum is cost-effective.
Flings with older women is cost-effective
as they spend money and don't pester men.
So they are cost-effective!
He said that to Yeo-reum?
I heard you're really busy.
Did you squeeze your lunch time to come?
Sorry?
Oh... yes. Yes.
Then what about lunch?
Brunch is really nice here.
Would you like to eat--
Oh... it's fine.
As a plastic surgeon,
you must have really high standards.
And see many pretty women.
I see women who want to become pretty
more than pretty women.
Oh... you are right.
I heard you graduated as the top student
at medical school.
Your father is a professor too.
You must take it from your father.
My father... was a professor.
He passed away.
I guess you didn't know.
Oh... I didn't know about that.
I'm not a cosmetic specialist.
I just jump from one place to another
with a medical license.
In other words...
I'm a part-timer.
I don't really care about that.
What do you mean it doesn't matter?
Conditions are important.
I think you could find
someone better than me.
Look at the time already.
If you'll excuse me.
It was a pleasure.
Please pay with this.
I'll pay for the coffee.
No, it seems like you were forced
to come here against your will.
So I'll buy.
I'm sorry but
if you're going to embarrass
someone like this,
don't show up to a blind date.
People are curious about the date
once the time is set,
hoping that this person
is going to be the one.
It took me days to decide what to wear
and to look pretty to you,
whom I've never seen before,
I went to the salon early
to get makeup and hair done
before coming out here.
Do you think you impressed me?
Just in case the guy who didn't make
any effort, wearing tracksuits,
could be a good person.
Just in case...
you might be the right one for me.
That's why I tried to keep my mind open
and get to know you.
Wait, Ji-yeon!
I'm sorry. I was rude.
It might be an excuse
but today's blind date
was set up by my mom.
And I only found out last night.
That's a typical excuse.
Yes, I know it is.
But it's true.
Thank you for your precious time,
and I'm sorry.
Thank you for the coffee.
Please go back safely.
Oh my God. Take a look at this.
This is too harsh.
Look at the expression.
What's so funny?
A celeb I like posted a funny picture.
A funny picture?
Her front tooth...

Producer Gu, this is for today's filming.
Thank you.
-What?
-Where are you, Yeo-reum?
Why? I'm working.
Are you off to shoot?
Filming what today?
Filming soy sauce ramyeon, why?
Soy sauce ramyeon?
Where are you filming?
-There are so many pots.
-Yes, indeed.
We are the ninth generation
of our family over 350 years.
Ma'am, we'll take a sketch of you
comfortably introducing the soy sauce.
Every November, we boil soybean paste
and ferment it for three months.
And do this process once in January.
We'll be filming now, let's work hard!
We have a soy sauce expert with us today.
What's the ingredient today?
Just a bit more.
As soy sauce is high quality,
the scent is nice.
I'm done.
We'll take an insert of the finished food.
Ramyeon Chef!
-Cut!
-Thank you, everyone.
-Thank you.
-Well done, everyone.
Eat some if you're hungry. Well done.
What's wrong?
My necklace is gone!
My necklace...
Damn it!
What's up with Chef John?
He lost a sponsored luxury necklace.
Look at him go.
-Where is it?
-He thinks he dropped it in a sauce pot.
The soy sauce should be okay, right?
No way!
He didn't drop it in
the fermented soy sauce pot, right?
Producer Gu, I can do it.
It's been fermented for seven years.
We have to find it in one go
so I'll do it.
That's my necklace! Amazing!
Producer Gu!
Incredible!
It's a really expensive one.
What's with him?
Yeo-reum, I really love you!
Wow, I love you!
Would you like to eat with me
if you don't have other plans?
I didn't find it because of you.
I didn't want any issue
with the soy sauce.
I would still like to thank you.
I'll treat you to a really nice meal.
Chef John...
I heard everything.
What did you hear?
Watch what you say with a mic on.
You never know what staff could hear.
I don't know what you're talking about.
What you said about older women
being cost-effective.
I heard it all.
Yeo-reum, I can explain. That day...
It was just two men talking comfortably.
No need for excuses.
And don't call me Yeo-reum.
I'm not a cool person
so let's just do enough
to save each other's face.
Frankly, it's true.
Bluntly speaking, you also enjoyed
our time together.
We had fun with no burden.
That's what cost-effective is.
Hey.
Relationship and cost-effective don't go
in a same sentence together.
Wait, you were really serious about me?
Did you like me?
Move! Don't stand in my way.
"Hey?" We're in Korea.
Hey, John Jang, bro.
Give me your cell phone.
-Sorry?
-Give me your cell phone.
Who are you... to ask
for someone else's cell phone?
Why you little...
Just hand it over.
Should've done so earlier.
Hey, this is crossing the line.
Don't violate other people's right
and post your own pictures, okay?
Also, be very polite to Producer Gu.
Or else, you're gone.
-Did you serve the army?
-Yes.
You still have the pose.
Like a man.
Hey, what are you doing?
Let's go. You're hungry, right?
-Should we go for ribeye?
-I asked what you are doing.
Me? I'm a knight in shining armor.
Hey, you! Come back here.
Is he normally that loud?
It must've been hard.
Who are you? Showing up
all of a sudden and bothering us?
What's going on between you two?
Are you her boyfriend?
Me?
I'm trying hard to impress her. Why?
I don't care for things like flings.
Especially...
With a woman I'm curious about.
Never.
"I don't care for flings."
"With a woman I'm curious about."
Your heart fluttered, right?
Did you fall for me?
I'll present myself a single who's ready.
Okay?
Gu Yeo-reum is so free-spirited.
Yeo-reum is unlucky. Who was it?
In-woo? He's not just any ex.
Yeo-reum!
Our Yeo-reum truly loved him.
Let's not talk about Kim In-woo.
Am I some toy you can play with?
Until someone worthy comes along,
just play with me.
IN THE DRAMA ARE NOT REAL.
ALL THE STORIES IN THIS EPISODE
ARE FICTITIOUS CREATIONS.
Hello. Hello.
Hello.
Hello, Producer Gu!
It's been a while.
How have you been?
What are you filming?
Producer Gu!
Glad to see you!
Hello, Producer Gu!
-Hello!
-Hello!
We missed you!
-It's been so long!
-Yeah.
Wow. you're still beautiful!
Please get together as the final couples
of Kingdom of Love S2.
We'll take some couple shots.
Thank you.
We're done with the couple shots.
We'll take a break now.
-Good work.
-Thank you.
Buy some chicken feet on the way home.
Oh my.
Order it with your own fingers.
This punk.
-Yeah, what?
-Jae-hoon. Chicken feet.
Soju too while you're at it.
If you could call me, wouldn't it be
much more efficient to order it yourself?
The delivery fee would cost more
than food if I ordered it.
Please buy it on the way home.
Yeo-reum really wants chicken feet!
Gu Yeo-reum, don't you feel sorry
for your body?
And why should I be sorry for my body?
You eat chicken feet at night
and take bloody crap in the morning.
John Jang read my text but ignored it.
John Jang?
The young kid you're having a fling with?
I think he might be sick or really busy.
You've been dumped, ma'am.
Buy the ones with bones.
And soju with the red cap.
When will she grow up?
Okay, let's go!
Hey, get me some chicken feet to go.
To go? You should eat it here.
Producer Gu wants some.
Fire!
Hey, it's Park Jae-hoon!
You were her bread boy in high school.
You're 37 now and still delivering
chicken feet for her? I'm proud.
When did I ever deliver for her?
You're doing it now.
I'm just showing kindness
to a poor neighbor.
Oh, is that so?
Great to see two lonely middle-aged people
depending on each other.
Who... is depending on... who?
Gu Yeo-reum is just... a burden.
A... burden.
So how spicy would the burden
like her chicken feet, delivery boy?
So spicy that it would rip
her butthole, sir.
Got it, delivery boy.
-Need help?
-What help? You want to serve me too?
Can't he just buy them without bothering?
JOHN JANG
Chef John?
Producer Gu, what are you doing now?
Can I see you now?
Right now?
-Yeah, I'm coming.
-Hey, sorry! I can't eat chicken feet.
John Jang wants to see me now.
John Jang? I thought he ghosted you.
Who knows? He said he'll come right now.
Hey, I think he's going to ask me out.
Look at you getting ahead of yourself
when he's not even thinking about it.
If he's not going to ask me out,
why would he want to see me now?
Don't lend him money if he asks for it.
Should I just make the first move?
Miss Gu, you'll really end up
at the police then.
He'll never ask you out.
Why not? Who won't he? Why?
It's over if he doesn't ask
after the third date.
You guys had this fling for more
than three months, right?
-Yes.
-I told you it's over.
I'll burn my hands if he asks you out.
Hey, forget your hands and make a bet.
-One million won.
-You'll bet that much?
He is not going to sleep with you.
I'll bet two million on this.
What you said now is really insulting.
No. it's not an insult.
I'm just saying the truth which can hurt.
One million for dating,
two million for sleeping?
-Sure.
-Get the cash ready.
I've changed my concept
from natural look to super sexy.
You're done.
When will she grow up?
Does she even know what sexy is?
Chef John.
What brings you here at this late hour?
I had something to say.
Want to come in?
Maybe I'll come in next time.
Shall we go for a drive?
Watch your head.
-It's the Iced Americano you like.
-Thank you.
That perfume scent.
I really like it.
When I was in Paris,
I liked this scent so I went around
looking for it.
This guy and I met
as a cast member and a producer.
We went on seven dates
and even went as far as light kissing.
Dating someone that I met from work...
It was really uncomfortable at first.
But here we are thanks to
this young guy being so direct.
It's now time to clearly define
our relationship once and for all.
Producer Gu, people are all
the same these days.
Sneakily rushing after a fling.
But that's not my style.
I think it's better to be direct.
I also really like the direct style.
I really enjoyed our dates.
I also enjoyed them.
I think we're similar in many ways.
Similar hobbies, similar interest
and similar eating habits.
Kid, if we have similar eating habits,
we'll also be compatible in bed.
But chemistry is missing between us.
What's... What's missing?
Chemistry.
I'm not into you, so we...
Let's stay as good friends.
Hello! This is John Jang.
So, our main ingredient is Spoon Worm
today.
Wow, look at how big this is.
We'll add the prepped Spoon Worm
in the ramyeon.
Spoon Worm has a sweet taste
due to glycine and alanine.
Everything he does is dislikable.
Chef John, you could've called
or messaged me to tell me.
Why did you come all the way
to tell me to my face?
For good manners.
Face-to-face is better
than saying it remotely.
Above all, because you're six years older
than me...
So to respect elders.
-Want to write your will?
-Sorry?
Anyway... I get your message.
A good friend is fine.
Let's be that way.
Yeo-reum, I knew you were really cool.
Let's not be awkward at the studio.
We should just focus on work.
It sounds really good.
If that's all, then let's go.
I'll drive you home.
By the way, Chef John...
Geez, who is it?
Two million.
You slept with him?
That bastard...
Listen carefully, okay?
This is the last thing I said
to John Jang.
Tell me what it sounds like.
You know, I have burning energy
like acids whoever I am with.
We didn't even do it.
How do you know our chemistry?
Sounds like 'how do you know our chemistry
when you didn't sleep with me yet?'
That's really not what I meant.
I meant, 'he hasn't been in a relationship
with me, so how would he know?'
That's what I really meant.
Oh, boy.
You didn't do it with me,
how would you know our chemistry?
I'm sure it would've been good...
if we did it.
I think you'd be good at it.
But by chemistry, I meant 'tiki-taka'.
Tiki-taka.
Going back and forth.
I don't think we communicate smoothly.
For God's sake!
I don't communicate well
with that bastard.
That's for sure.
It's so embarrassing.
How old is he again?
Thirty-one.
So you were dumped by someone
six years younger than you.
That's pathetic.
So pathetic.
Don't drink too much and let's go to bed.
Jae-hoon...
The pain of a breakup is so much for me.
How's an end to a fling a breakup?
Sometimes, an end to a fling can suck
way more than a breakup.
Hey, Yeo-reum.
Try to be a bit cooler.
I hate the word 'cool'.
And the word 'fling' even more.
Why hate a fling? It's logical.
There's zero responsibility
with only dating-like feelings,
ending it if one feels like it.
I want to protest against
this malicious social phenomenon.
That's not it. Try to look at it
another way.
It retains the pros of relationships
which is the exciting feelings
without the cons,
which is the tiring commitment.
It sounds like trash.
Just accept flings as your daily life
like eating and shitting.
Eating and shitting are not light matters.
If you can't do them,
you'll die.
No. This is why John Jang dumped you.
Who dates like an old person
in this day and age?
Who are you calling old? Why is taking
a person sincerely old? Why old? Why?
No way, who did something old like this?
Yeo-reum. Are you okay?
I'm not okay.
Why did he have to announce it publicly?
Could've sent a group chat
instead of taking effort to handwrite.
To survive in the environment
of 'new media',
they said they'll combine analogue
and direct approaches...
But I had no idea they'd use
cheap shock tactics.
To be honest, this isn't
completely your fault.
Others are competing with masterpiece
dramas and big entertainment show
-You're just being used as a scapegoat.
-Exactly.
And look at this poster,
isn't this going too far?
We aren't in the '80s, what is this?
I'm starting to feel insulted!
You're the one who insulted me.
It feels like my lifespan is shortening
every time I check Ramyeon Chef's rating.
But, director...
I don't think this is completely my fault.
Everyone watches on OTT these days.
Who actually watches TV?
How dare you. Are you having a go at me?
You think you're gen MZ?
Actually, I'm gen M.
Millennial?
Look at you go.
So Producer Gu, the gen M,
what would this be?
There are shows which started at 3
and rise to 20.
How can you start from 5
and fall all the way down to 0?
I'm so sorry.
Watch it.
LET'S STAY
INFORMATION
DNA TV
DIFFERENT & ARTISTIC
-She's in a bad mood.
-Be quiet.
Producer Gu, you okay?
You look like shit.
I'm really going to kill myself
if our rating doesn't get back to 1%.
Spoon Worm was our secret weapon.
But it was buried.
Producer Gu,
I'll take down the rating poster.
I'll burn it and write a written apology.
-Sang-woo, sit down.
-Yes, ma'am.
Producer Gu, did you watch Kingdom of Love
last week?
No, I didn't. I spent nights
in the editing room.
-They had octopus.
-Octopus?
That's our item for this week.
It was ranked in the search engines
throughout the weekend.
Even online communities
are full of parodies.
Isn't that a good thing? As things stand,
let's also do an octopus parody.
Just keep quiet.
Producer Gu, if you want to change it
to different types of octopus--
Why should I change item
because of Kingdom of Love?
I'm sorry.
Producer Gu, you went to the same college
as Kang Chae-ri of Kingdom of Love, right?
Has she always been a sociopath?
I don't know.
I didn't know she existed in college.
I was popular, and she was a loser.
She couldn't even talk to me.
You've grown, Kang Chae-ri.
Hey, where did you get the swimsuit?
It's so pretty!
You fucking bitch.
I heard you talked about me
behind my back.
Did you just swear at me?
You're not even worth responding to.
Look at you trying to act all classy.
You might have better education than me,
my life is still 10 million times better.
I'm an influencer with 30,000 followers.
Do you even know
the meaning of influencer?
Hey!
Influencer. Huh?
Fuck, popular means influencer in English.
-Let go!
-What? What are you going to do?
-You bitch!
-Let go!
Let go! Fuck, I said let go!
This could potentially hit 30%.
Let's have a look.
Did you enjoy the date with her?
No, I didn't.
You're lying.
You had honey dripping out of your eyes.
-Really. I didn't like it.
-Don't lie.
Who's prettier? Me or her?
You're way prettier.
Tonight...
want to stay with me?
A man and a woman enter a hotel room.
Did you really have to
put octopus in here?
Is there any problem?
It was reported to KCC
for being too sexual.
How can you laugh?
It had a positive reception.
It hit the highest rating as well
with memes everywhere on the Internet.
Did the cast agree to it?
They were okay with being filmed?
I got their agreement prior to filming
and reconfirmed during the filming.
Producer Gu, we'll get going first.
Okay, see you soon.
Producer Gu, I just got a call.
The ramyeon company won't renew
the sponsorship contract.
What?
Hey, how many noodles do we have left?
Actually...
Only have five boxes left?
So from now...
Do we have to buy ramyeon ourselves?
A ramyeon show?
Because we couldn't get sponsored?
A big humiliation.
And also, the director has cut down
our production budget by 20%.
What?
Come in.
Director, how can you reduce the budget
for a show in production?
It was ordered from above.
All ads dropped,
how do you think they're liking it?
Director.
-Director!
-What?
They say you should pay more attention to
those lacking.
Could you please at least keep
the staff's wages?
Get through it with determination.
That's also a skill of production.
All the ads dropped out
of Ramyeon Chef, right?
It's in a prime time slot too.
It's probably better to rerun our show.
Hey, Kang Chae-ri.
Most people only think of those things,
but don't actually say them.
Don't you have an etiquette filter
in your brain?
You're right. I don't.
I'm going to kill her.
Producer Gu, have you heard?
Heard what?
Chef John will be on the next season
of Kingdom of Love.
Is that so?
I heard it from a co-worker.
Kang Chae-ri got a contract signed
by Chef John.
To get rid of all women in his life.
Apparently, he has so many women
in his life.
During the Kingdom interview, he said
he has around 100 flings.
A hundred?
Is he King Solomon or what?
You know what's better?
He agreed to show his butt.
On Kingdom of Love S2.
Sounds like it'll be fun, right?
I can watch it over and over again.
-Yes?
-Jae-hoon.
Let's date for a day.
You've finally gone mental.
I came to Ganghwa Island to film.
Come pick me up later.
Dress nicely and bring some flowers too.
Is this because of John Jang?
I can't let it be like this.
-No, I'm not going.
-I'll buy you beef if you come.
I'll buy it on my own.
I'll also do your recycling for a week.
Recycling for a month and Korean beef.
Okay. Fine.
But you have to look nice.
If you look messy...
I'll recycle you.
I got it.
Ganghwa Island, right?
We'll start filming now!
Slate in three, two, one!
Fifty million Koreans.
Fifty million ramyeon recipes.
We search for experts from all over Korea,
battling it out with ramyeon,
it's Ramyeon Chef.
Hello, I'm John Jang.
Do you know what happens when
a three-legged octopus lose two legs?
It will become a one-legged octopus.
Why? It's lost two legs.
So octopus...
Rock, rock, rock, scissors!
Scissors, scissors, paper!
Rock!
Why did I put out rock there? Why?
Honey, since when were you good
at this game? Since you were born?
Hurry up, go clean.
Sit and take a rest.
He's so bad at it.
We're on a break.
I told you to come when we're open.
You always come at this time.
I'm hungry but I'm not here to eat.
He's cleaning the sink.
-Is he a husband or a servant?
-A servant, of course.
My poor friend.
Jae-hoon is here.
I'll finish soon, take a rest.
-I said Jae-hoon's here!
-I miss you too.
You scared me.
Do you at least get paid?
I do, five bills per month.
Only 500,000 per month?
50,000.
Hey, he's not a servant. He's a slave.
Hey, I clean the sink whenever I'm sad.
Moisture, moisture. Humidity, humidity.
Hey, let me borrow your truck today.
Why all of a sudden?
It's just... I'm going
to make Yeo-reum smile.
Right side.
What happened to your butt?
-Don't you dare lend him the truck.
-Of course.
You scared me, knock first.
-What are you going to do to Yeo-reum?
-What would I do to her?
There's an insidious look in your eyes.
You... You know... When Yeo-reum uses me
or treats me bad, you never say anything.
When?
-Whose money is that?
-What?
-Where is it?
-Why is it there?
Where? What is it?
Did you give him the truck keys? You...
Hey, Park Jae-hoon!
You truck thief!
If you do this, organs will come out.
Just peel them out.
I'm going to make vegetable broth first.
Get a radish and cut it like this.
When you're making the broth,
vegetables...
Cut the vegetables into big pieces.
Our expert is speeding up as well.
Put the whole octopus in.
Add seasoning, then the ramyeon...
Decorate it like this.
Then get the broth we made...
We'll film you guys
trying the food together.
Please try our expert's food first
with the chef.
There's a deep sea flavor.
It has a chewy texture. It's the best.
We can't help but exclaim together.
Please look forward to next week's expert.
That's it for Ramyeon Chef today.
Cut! Thank you everyone!
-Thank you for the hard work!
-Well done!
Thank you so much!
Producer Gu, this really was amazing.
We totally owned it!
No way the rating won't be high.
You said the same for Spoon Worm.
Producer Gu, I learned that
an assistant producer's role
is to unconditionally support
and encourage the main producer
who's on a lonely and burdensome journey.
Okay. I'm sorry.
I'm so sorry.
Sang-woo! Let's go to mudflat
to shoot some scenery!
Okay! I'll get going then.
Thank you for the hard work!
Let's go.
How cute!
Older women are cost-effective.
Maybe you don't know, but if you want a
fling that's not too serious,
-you have to meet older women.
-But why?
Older women don't pester men.
They play well by themselves
and spend money well.
You might also learn a thing or two
when you talk to them.
Wow, it's such a great tip.
But... how far did you go
with Producer Gu?
How far?
I could've slept with her, but I didn't.
I only do it with women I'm curious about.
Wow, you're so cool.
-Do squat and you can be cool.
-Okay.
Producer Gu!
I think we're in trouble!
We lost the drone camera.
We borrowed it, it's worth 3,000,000 won.
Producer Gu. Also, the memory chip
with our ramyeon footage...
was inside the drone. If we can't find it,
we'll have to reshoot.
What?
I'm so sorry.
-Search thoroughly.
-I think I looked everywhere.
Really...
-Hey, Sang-woo!
-Yes?
Isn't that the drone over there?
Over there! Right?
It's mudflat over there!
Producer Gu!
How... What...
Producer Gu.
Be careful!
Producer Gu! Watch out!
-Producer Gu!
-Check the files first.
The files are fine!
That's really... That's a relief!
Gu Yeo-reum!
Hey, Yeo-reum!
I brought some bristle grass!
Happy to see me?
I'm here!
Why are you like this?
Everyone else looks fine,
so why just you?
Just leave.
You told me to come.
What's with the attitude to someone
who came all the way here?
Oh, I was in a hurry.
We'll be off first!
Thank you.
If you're coming here anyway,
did you have to embarrass me like this?
It's not like that...
Hey, Yeo-reum. It's my bad. I'm sorry.
Let's go home together.
Look at your clothes too.
Let go.
Hey, Yeo-reum.
FULL OF ROMANTIC LOVE
NEW YORK
FLY THERE NOW
It wasn't a big deal.
-Yes?
-Where are you?
Mom wants you to come to the center.
I'm busy now. Bye.
Wait! You know Mom's feeling kind of low
recently, right?
Don't go against her will
and just come by.
I'm not too sure which one to pick.
Oh, you're here!
Hey, you're here.
What are you two doing?
I'm helping Mom pick artworks
for the poster.
Just pick any, they all look the same.
Do you even hear yourself?
Hitting me all of a sudden?
An artist puts their heart and soul
into making this artwork.
How can you say "just pick any"?
Just pick any?
You just live your life as is.
You're so edgy again today.
Just pick the one on the right
for the poster.
Why? Why the one on the right?
These are a series, but people's sight
will end up on the right side.
What's up with you?
You were being goofy,
why are you saying something cool?
Dad used to like this artist's pieces.
Why is it so hard to see your face?
We live under the same sky of Seoul.
Come on, I text you every day.
You didn't forget about the blind date
tomorrow, right?
When did I agree?
I said no to blind dates.
When did you say that?
You said you'll see any woman
who comes your way.
I said I don't want blind dates.
Wow, you actually have standards.
I thought you dated anyone.
For serious women
who come out to get married,
it's good manners to refuse.
Are you aging backwards?
You're almost a 40-year old man.
When will you stop living so loosely?
What's up with you today, Mom?
And what do you mean "old"?
I'm only 37 now.
He's right, Mom. He's not that old.
You went too far.
Is he in his youth, then?
He's not in his youth.
Even then, an old man is harsh.
I'd say maybe middle-aged.
That's even more annoying.
She's a nice lady, so go and be polite.
I really don't like blind dates.
Isn't she back yet?
Geez, it was just a prank.
Gu Yeo-reum!
Are you off to edit?
Why did you ignore my calls?
Do you know me?
A stranger is talking to me.
Come on, it was just a bit of joke.
I didn't find it funny.
Was showing up in tracksuits and a truck
that embarrassing?
Why are you so shallow?
You're right. I'm shallow.
I thought if a well-groomed man
picked me up,
it'd be less embarrassing to John Jang.
That's why I asked.
I didn't ask for something hard, right?
That's what I don't understand.
Who is this John Jang?
Why are you trying to impress him?
I didn't want to impress him!
Damn it.
You don't understand.
Hey, what's wrong? Are you crying?
It's because I'm so pathetic.
I don't care about relationships.
My life is already busy and tiring
without it.
But...
Sometimes, I feel so pathetic.
Since I reached a certain age,
there hasn't been anyone who liked me.
It feels like there's something wrong
with me.
Why are you putting yourself down?
It's hard to act cool after a fling ends.
It also feels petty
to try to impress guys.
Putting effort, trying hard
and expecting something...
It's all pathetic.
So take it lightly.
Do it the easy way.
Just have flings and dates with people.
Don't see someone if you can't.
There's no need to see anyone
if it's not a great guy.
Why put in so much effort
for a bastard like that?
Because no one puts in effort for me.
From a certain point,
no one is curious about me anymore.
You don't know how it feels.
Damn it.
-Are you okay?
-Are you okay?
Please call 119.
Is this 119? There's an accident here.
It's at the intersection.
Can anyone do first aid?
PLASTIC SURGEON, PARK JAE-HOON
Nice to meet you.
I'll be injecting the filler now.
It will sting, okay?
You're all accomplices.
Hey, Gu Yeo-reum.
What's wrong with my truck?
I think it's got a vintage swag to it.
Honey, will that swag do anything
to John Jang?
It's my fault for expecting Park Jae-hoon
to show some form of male functionality.
Jae-hoon's functionality as a male
was out of this world.
I went to wake him up a few days ago.
In his pants...
Honey!
We are not talking
about that functionality.
It's my fault.
And my fault.
And my fault.
Cheer up!
Want some more black beans?
No, it's fine.
-What's up, Dae-sik?
-Hey, Jae-hoon.
We've become Judas Iscariot
because of you!
Did Yeo-reum come by? What did she say?
You moron.
You could've dressed up a bit!
How bad must it be if she asked you?
It was just a small joke...
A joke?
Hey, Park Jae-hoon!
That bastard called John Jang or Shit Jang
or whatever,
said that Yeo-reum is cost-effective.
Flings with older women is cost-effective
as they spend money and don't pester men.
So they are cost-effective!
He said that to Yeo-reum?
I heard you're really busy.
Did you squeeze your lunch time to come?
Sorry?
Oh... yes. Yes.
Then what about lunch?
Brunch is really nice here.
Would you like to eat--
Oh... it's fine.
As a plastic surgeon,
you must have really high standards.
And see many pretty women.
I see women who want to become pretty
more than pretty women.
Oh... you are right.
I heard you graduated as the top student
at medical school.
Your father is a professor too.
You must take it from your father.
My father... was a professor.
He passed away.
I guess you didn't know.
Oh... I didn't know about that.
I'm not a cosmetic specialist.
I just jump from one place to another
with a medical license.
In other words...
I'm a part-timer.
I don't really care about that.
What do you mean it doesn't matter?
Conditions are important.
I think you could find
someone better than me.
Look at the time already.
If you'll excuse me.
It was a pleasure.
Please pay with this.
I'll pay for the coffee.
No, it seems like you were forced
to come here against your will.
So I'll buy.
I'm sorry but
if you're going to embarrass
someone like this,
don't show up to a blind date.
People are curious about the date
once the time is set,
hoping that this person
is going to be the one.
It took me days to decide what to wear
and to look pretty to you,
whom I've never seen before,
I went to the salon early
to get makeup and hair done
before coming out here.
Do you think you impressed me?
Just in case the guy who didn't make
any effort, wearing tracksuits,
could be a good person.
Just in case...
you might be the right one for me.
That's why I tried to keep my mind open
and get to know you.
Wait, Ji-yeon!
I'm sorry. I was rude.
It might be an excuse
but today's blind date
was set up by my mom.
And I only found out last night.
That's a typical excuse.
Yes, I know it is.
But it's true.
Thank you for your precious time,
and I'm sorry.
Thank you for the coffee.
Please go back safely.
Oh my God. Take a look at this.
This is too harsh.
Look at the expression.
What's so funny?
A celeb I like posted a funny picture.
A funny picture?
Her front tooth...

Producer Gu, this is for today's filming.
Thank you.
-What?
-Where are you, Yeo-reum?
Why? I'm working.
Are you off to shoot?
Filming what today?
Filming soy sauce ramyeon, why?
Soy sauce ramyeon?
Where are you filming?
-There are so many pots.
-Yes, indeed.
We are the ninth generation
of our family over 350 years.
Ma'am, we'll take a sketch of you
comfortably introducing the soy sauce.
Every November, we boil soybean paste
and ferment it for three months.
And do this process once in January.
We'll be filming now, let's work hard!
We have a soy sauce expert with us today.
What's the ingredient today?
Just a bit more.
As soy sauce is high quality,
the scent is nice.
I'm done.
We'll take an insert of the finished food.
Ramyeon Chef!
-Cut!
-Thank you, everyone.
-Thank you.
-Well done, everyone.
Eat some if you're hungry. Well done.
What's wrong?
My necklace is gone!
My necklace...
Damn it!
What's up with Chef John?
He lost a sponsored luxury necklace.
Look at him go.
-Where is it?
-He thinks he dropped it in a sauce pot.
The soy sauce should be okay, right?
No way!
He didn't drop it in
the fermented soy sauce pot, right?
Producer Gu, I can do it.
It's been fermented for seven years.
We have to find it in one go
so I'll do it.
That's my necklace! Amazing!
Producer Gu!
Incredible!
It's a really expensive one.
What's with him?
Yeo-reum, I really love you!
Wow, I love you!
Would you like to eat with me
if you don't have other plans?
I didn't find it because of you.
I didn't want any issue
with the soy sauce.
I would still like to thank you.
I'll treat you to a really nice meal.
Chef John...
I heard everything.
What did you hear?
Watch what you say with a mic on.
You never know what staff could hear.
I don't know what you're talking about.
What you said about older women
being cost-effective.
I heard it all.
Yeo-reum, I can explain. That day...
It was just two men talking comfortably.
No need for excuses.
And don't call me Yeo-reum.
I'm not a cool person
so let's just do enough
to save each other's face.
Frankly, it's true.
Bluntly speaking, you also enjoyed
our time together.
We had fun with no burden.
That's what cost-effective is.
Hey.
Relationship and cost-effective don't go
in a same sentence together.
Wait, you were really serious about me?
Did you like me?
Move! Don't stand in my way.
"Hey?" We're in Korea.
Hey, John Jang, bro.
Give me your cell phone.
-Sorry?
-Give me your cell phone.
Who are you... to ask
for someone else's cell phone?
Why you little...
Just hand it over.
Should've done so earlier.
Hey, this is crossing the line.
Don't violate other people's right
and post your own pictures, okay?
Also, be very polite to Producer Gu.
Or else, you're gone.
-Did you serve the army?
-Yes.
You still have the pose.
Like a man.
Hey, what are you doing?
Let's go. You're hungry, right?
-Should we go for ribeye?
-I asked what you are doing.
Me? I'm a knight in shining armor.
Hey, you! Come back here.
Is he normally that loud?
It must've been hard.
Who are you? Showing up
all of a sudden and bothering us?
What's going on between you two?
Are you her boyfriend?
Me?
I'm trying hard to impress her. Why?
I don't care for things like flings.
Especially...
With a woman I'm curious about.
Never.
"I don't care for flings."
"With a woman I'm curious about."
Your heart fluttered, right?
Did you fall for me?
I'll present myself a single who's ready.
Okay?
Gu Yeo-reum is so free-spirited.
Yeo-reum is unlucky. Who was it?
In-woo? He's not just any ex.
Yeo-reum!
Our Yeo-reum truly loved him.
Let's not talk about Kim In-woo.
Am I some toy you can play with?
Until someone worthy comes along,
just play with me.
