Drama Special (2010–…): Season 5, Episode 1 - The Taste of Curry - full transcript

I didn't like potatoes
because they're bland.

I didn't want to eat carrots either.

I hate the taste.

But when they're dyed yellow,

it's a totally different story.

I know. What magic was performed?

Curry's always right...

...no matter who makes it.

What?

No way.

No matter who?



Really?

Love may betray you
but the taste of curry never does.

I don't know about that.

If it tasted good,

and if that made you happy,

there was probably another reason for it.

(The Taste of Curry)

(Terrible food)

(The food sucks and it's expensive)
Again?

Why on earth...

This is so upsetting.

Gosh...

Oh, no.

Goodness.



Are you alright?

He smells of alcohol.

Good morning.

His forehead will take two weeks to heal.

There's no damage to the brain but
there seems to be a temporary problem...

...related to memories concerning himself.

Excuse me.

Your name, where you live...

You don't remember any of that?

I told you already.
I don't remember a thing.

Can't you identify him
with his fingerprints?

Yes, that's possible but...

...that will take a long time.

I see...

So where am I supposed to stay until then?

I don't know.

You can't exactly stay here.

You take responsibility for me then.

Can I stay at your restaurant?

I'll work for free.

Are you crazy?
You can't even think straight.

Anyway, you attacked me.

I think that's a better solution
than paying me to settle, right?

Excuse me!

What's the use in shopping for groceries?

You have no customers.

I'll pay you soon.

Make sure your rent isn't overdue.

That's 98 cents.

-What?
-For the cucumber.

Why is this so expensive?

I only use organic vegetables.

Organic? Whatever.

Move out!

If you can't pay me this month!

Yumi.

It's a week at most.

Talk about rotten luck. Gosh.

Excuse me.

How should I address you?

Big sis?

Boss?

Teacher?

Big sis sounds good, right?

Right, sis?

Are you younger than me?

-Excuse me?
-Do we know each other's age?

You're even prettier close-up...

...even though you're a little old.

You really are pretty! I mean it!

This is ridiculous.

I can tell
it's been like this for a while.

Aren't you desperate?

Sis, are you rich?

Be quiet.

Sitting around
won't bring in any customers.

We need to get out there.

Is it because you're embarrassed?

If you want to keep your pride,

you should just give this up...

Welcome!

Enjoy your meal.

How about curry for lunch tomorrow?

This is Cat Restaurant.

How about curry for lunch tomorrow?

This is Cat Restaurant.

A hearty curry meal!

This is Cat Restaurant.

Give it to me.

What do you mean?

What are you doing?

I said give it to me!

You took a photo of my sister!

No, no...

It's a misunderstanding.

I didn't...

A misunderstanding?

Okay then. Let's take a look.

Stop that! Give it to me!

What is this?

You weren't taking a photo of her...

...but yourself?

Something was stuck in my teeth
so I was using it in place of a mirror.

I'm so sorry, sir.

There was a misunderstanding.

I'm really sorry.

-Hey...
-You stay out of this.

-Why don't you hit me?
-Excuse me?

It's my fault so I'll take any punishment.

I'm...

...really sorry.

Well...

That's not good enough.

Two, please.

You mean two stamps?

Yes.

I can eat a free meal with two more.

Okay. Two stamps and one free meal.

Two stamps...

I didn't know you were a regular.

I'm sorry.

Are you really her younger brother?

I thought I heard you
call her sister earlier.

Yes.

I'm sorry.

Wait.

You too!

This is so weird.

Do you always eat like that? Since when?

Can you stop overreacting?

Think about the trouble
you caused earlier.

What? I thought he was hitting on you.

How could I stand aside?

Be quiet and just eat.

Okay.

What are you doing?

Why does it taste like this?

It doesn't taste like anything.

Everyone has different tastes.

It's not just about personal tastes.

Didn't you see earlier?

Some people come and get stamps every day.

That guy really is suspicious.

You really think this tastes okay?

I only use the best ingredients.

It may taste weird to you
as you're used to cheap food.

Geez...

Using good ingredients doesn't mean
that it's bound to taste good.

This is...

I don't even need to think about it.

It has no deep or likeable flavor.

It feels so distant.

I'm sorry
but it tastes really, really bad.

Hasn't anyone
ever given you honest advice?

Why are you laughing?

Because I can't believe this.

-Don't eat it.
-What are you doing?

Hey!

Why?

Wait!

Sis...

I'm home.

What's all this?

Bubble wrap to keep the cold wind out.

We can't even move because of you.

Our house is fine.
We don't need to move.

It was fine when dad was around,

but it costs a fortune
to maintain this house now.

All the money we have
is going to be eaten up by this house.

I'll earn some more money then.

What? You?

The dogs on the street will laugh at you.

Move, let me do it.

Forget it.

You're no taller than I am.

I'm a little taller.

Goodness!

You're useless! I'm so frustrated.

Mom.

Someone told me...

...that my curry's no good.

Is it really that bad?

How does this taste?

To be honest, you're a bad cook.

I know.

You take after me.

Why didn't you tell me earlier?

You're supposed to be on my side!
Aren't you?

I am on your side.

You quit working at your old company.

You need to give up
on the restaurant quickly...

...so you'll think,
"Okay, I should just get married."

It's my life. I'm only 30.

Goodness. You think that's young?

I'm a lot younger than you are.

Don't be cheeky!

Who told you your curry's bad?

I like that person, whoever they are.

What?

Is it a man?

So, what if it is?

You should hold on to him.

At least you know he won't betray you.

Who cares?

Hey, don't do that!

Stop that!

You made my heart shrink!

Geez...

I'm sorry.

But you know that...

...I don't have much time left.

But still...

...you seemed so lonely.

That's why I told you about it
but why did you come here? To do what?

Maybe I can sponge off here.

Cha Gyeongpyo!

Just...

I was curious about Han Yumi.

Isn't that a valid reason?

I'm sorry
but it tastes really, really bad.

"Really, really"?

How dare he?

Right?

Yes?

(Cat Restaurant)
(Our curry has changed)

Get up!

Wait...

Here, here.

Let me see you.

Okay...

Wait!

You really are a pervert!

I'm not! No way!

Please let me explain.

Okay.

Fine. You can explain
at the police station.

-Police station?
-Okay?

I like her... Yumi.

So you drew poo, not flowers?

I don't believe this!

That's why you're a pervert!

So I can stop other people
from coming here.

What?

So...

So she'll only remember me.

I'm not even going
to bother talking to you.

Let's go.

You're hiding something too, right?

I was here late last night.

I was drawing and stuff when you appeared.

I saw you.

You were totally sober.

You sprayed soju on your clothes
and put it in your mouth,

gargled it and spit it out. I saw you!

I saw everything.

Why did you that?

I can tell Yumi all about it, right?

Let's make a deal then.

(Cat Restaurant)
(Our curry has changed)

Good morning.

Did you do this?

Does your poo taste like that?

I know your curry tastes foul
but I don't compare food to poo.

Did you do this then?

Yes, I did this.

Aren't you pleased?

"Our curry has changed."

So...

Are you going
to transform the flavor today?

Can you think of a way?

Why do you think it won't work?

What?

It's fine as long as it's better
than yesterday...

...and tomorrow, better than today.

Then one day,
you'll find the right flavor.

You try and make it then.

But...

...if it tastes worse than mine,
you're dead.

And if I win?

Let me prepare the food with you.

Fine.

A bet's a bet.

By the way,

do you have any apples?

No, I don't like apples.

What? Me too.

It's too crispy and makes my teeth hurt.

But I need some.

It's so cold.

Welcome!

Mom!

I haven't seen you before.

Do you work here?

Hello, I'm...

Would you like a cup of tea?

Yes, please.

You're so friendly.

It's cold. Why'd you come here?

Who's that?

I don't know.

Why are there two plates?

Today, we've prepared two curry sauces.

Just eat whichever one takes your fancy.

I'm looking forward to this.

Thank you.

Take care.

Where are you going? Let's eat.

What's the difference?

It looks the same to me.

(My mom)

Hi, mom.

I'm almost home.

Can't you buy it?

Alright.

Did you follow me?

I was worried.

I had to give you your phone too.

Go.

"Thanks".

Can't you just say that?

You brought this situation on yourself.

Oh, my goodness.

What is it?

Seeing as I'm here, I'll walk you home.

I'm telling you in advance.
I'm not grateful.

I'm so sad. You're so nasty to me.

What on earth am I doing here?

If you don't know, how should I know?

I think that...

...I like you.

Do you want something from me?

Goodness. Hello again!

Mom!

Have a piece. Apples are in season.

Thank you.

I enjoyed your curry earlier.

It's a lot better than my daughter's.

How did you know it was mine?

Of course I know.

You're so good-looking.

Your parents must've been good-looking.

My father...

Yes. That's why genes are so important.

You should consider yourself lucky.

Why?

Imagine if you'd taken after your dad.
You wouldn't have that face.

What's wrong with dad?

He was handsome so women chased
after him all his life.

Hey!

He never did anything wrong!

Seeing you eat makes me feel so happy.

Have some more.

By the way,

do you have any apples?

No, I don't like apples.

What? Me too.

It's too crispy and makes my teeth hurt.

Goodness.

Our living room's warm already.

Don't you agree?

It's not warm at all.

I'm going to clean that up.

I'm going then.

Thanks for helping.

Yumi...

Let's say that...

...my memory came back and...

...I'm not the type of person
you think I am.

Would you be disappointed?

Are you afraid?

That your reality will be poor?

I just...

I just started worrying
that you could be disappointed.

No expectations, no disappointments.

If you're worried,

then just leave.

You're so cold-hearted.

People don't even treat stray dogs
like that.

Am I no better than a dog?

Stop talking nonsense and go. It's cold.

What's wrong with him?

He looks cold.

No expectations, no disappointments.

If you're worried, then just leave.

Her mother didn't notice you?

Oh, my goodness.

I felt so happy seeing Yumi but...

...after I saw her mom...

...I suddenly felt scared.

I don't know what I'm doing right now.

I told you!

That's what you should've
thought ages ago!

At first, I wanted to see Yumi just once.

But I couldn't help myself.

I don't blame you.

That's what blood relations are like.

She's your half-sister
but you still share the same blood.

Sorry, we're not open yet...

Wow.

You look so pretty today!

Yumi!

Sis!

Don't overreact.

I brought it so you look clean.

Thanks for caring about me.

We have a group reservation today.

7 PM, 6 people.

Social dining.

What's social dining?

That's so silly.

What's good about getting together
with strangers for a meal?

People don't want to eat alone
so they get together for one day?

It's comfortable eating alone.

Why gather...

It's nice eating alone
but even better with company.

If you don't want to eat alone,
you can call me anytime.

No?

I should go grocery shopping today.

Is the secret to your curry just apples?

There's more.

It's top secret
but I'll tell you if you want to know.

Who taught you?

I don't remember that...

Want to try it?

-Forget it.
-No, try it.

I said no!

Are you okay?

Did you get burned?

Sorry.

Why stop? I like this.

Keep going.

Just move the tables.

Hello!

I saw this place on the "Mom's Meal" site.

Are you...

Oh, that's me.

I'm Park Gukjin.

You!

I'm sorry.

All six said they'd be here.

I don't mind.

I get to eat with nice people.
Like a family!

Yes.

I didn't know
what this was but this is nice.

Like a family!

Great, great.

You keep calling me over.

I could grow fond of you.

Growing fond sounds nice.

But it's easy to have
a change of heart, right?

If you're a public officer
at the district office,

you must be popular
on the marriage market.

No.

A woman walked out on me
after three minutes.

She doesn't even remember who I am.

You're not the type
to be rejected in three minutes.

I know.

You like him, right?

Don't try to set us up.

You're more my type!

Talk about poor taste.

Men like Mr. Park are real men.

Goodness.

This is no place for
old bachelors like me.

I'm going.

Wait a minute.

Eat before you go.

Yes.

Should I?

Eat before it gets cold.

-Yes.
-Should we?

Let's eat.

-Bravo!
-Great!

-Enjoy your meal.
-Let's eat.

Let's eat, like a family.

It looks good.

I'm curious about something.

Why a curry restaurant?

I just like curry.

Something wrong with that?

You used all your
severance pay to open it.

You don't even have a special recipe.
That's very risky.

Up until now,

the food that's made me the happiest
is curry.

I thought if I keep making it,
I might find that flavor one day.

Is that restaurant still open?
Let's go there.

There's no such place.

It was my dad's curry.

Then that should be easy to make.

He must've shown and told you about it.

It's the only dish that he ever made.

When he cooked,

he wouldn't let anyone else in the kitchen
so I lost the chance to learn.

Your dad was really affectionate.

I thought so at one stage.

At one stage?

Bye.

Yumi!

What's with you? Don't do that!

It looks pretty but...

...you'll be warmer all covered up.

Sis?

Yes?

Thank you.

When are you going to tell her?

I'm going to leave tomorrow.

When she finds out later,

Yumi could feel really hurt.

If I keep my mouth shut,

she'll never know.

But you're family...

It's more comfortable being alone.

If I tell her, I have to patch things up.

I don't have time for that.

If something bad happens to me...

...it will just shake her up.

Don't think that way!

You're a man! You can beat it!

Why do you like Yumi?

She's pretty but her temper...

She's straightforward. No means no.

Not everyone can do that.

Make her yours then!

As you can see, I'm a little...

Geez...

Even when you're behind,
you should never lose confidence!

Okay! Stop here.

Stop here?

Yes, stop.

Keep that face.

Put your hand down.

Gaze at her.

Your lines!

Stop.

Yumi, for some reason,

I want to protect you.

That's so weird!

Trust me!

When you're in a rush, be classic.

Classic.

Act like an expert.

Okay?

Okay.

If you do that,

she'll be dying to have you.

She'll come charging at you.

Charge!

Then act like you're giving into her.

Let her have you.

After that, you'll have the upper hand.

Total control.

-Me?
-Yes.

I hope it goes well
and I can call you brother-in-law.

That's going a little too far.

Hello?

Dad!

You can't come?

Yes, I miss you too.

Bye.

Excuse me, are you alright?

Hello?

Do you enjoy pretending to be a cat?

That way...

...you'll file a complaint
at the district office.

Why do you want me to do that?

So Mr. Park will come here more often.

I almost had him.

He was about to be my man.

Do you know who ruined everything?

Your employee.

He ruined everything!

Mr. Park has fallen for that sly fox!

What are you doing?

-Are you going for a run?
-Yes.

Want to run with me?

I came out because Yumi has a guest.

A guest at this hour?

Not me?

Come back after your run.

I'll give you a cup of barley tea.

Let's say that...

...my memory came back and...

...I'm not the type of person
you think I am.

Would you be disappointed?

Why are you here so early?

You bother me.

I was going to leave today anyway.

My memory has come back.

I see.

I know I mean nothing to you.

I don't care who you like.

-Excuse me?
-I don't care if you leave or not.

I know.

Whether you like me or not,

whether you have breakfast or not,
I don't care. Do you know that?

I know so just stop...

Gukjin...

Cha Gyeongpyo...

...have you really dated a lot of girls?

What Yumi just said...

Don't you understand what she means?

What do you mean?

Just tell her.

Don't make this hard on all of us.

Gukjin!

Wait a minute!

Are you really...

Are you really going out with him?

What?

You asked me why I was here so early.

That's what I want to ask myself.

I keep thinking about you.

I'm worried about you.

What's wrong with me?

Wait, hold on a second.

I've never met anyone who eats curry
the same way that I do.

I like the curry you make
as it tastes like the curry that I missed.

I like that you worry about me.

I like that you speak honestly to me.

You said you liked me...

Because I'm your younger brother!

What?

We both grew up eating the curry...

...that dad made.

You don't like apples
so dad used grated apples in his curry.

I grew up eating that too.

What...

What are you talking about?

Dad?

My name's Cha Gyeongpyo.

I took my mom's last name.

My father's name is...

...Han Jaegwang.

We're half-siblings.

I knew dad had another family
but I didn't know he had a child.

Dad and mom...

...never spoke to me about it.

I only found out a few days ago.

You...

You expect me to believe that?

That's why I wasn't going to tell you.

Yumi!

Yumi!

Let me tell you everything.

Your voice gives me the creeps.

Let me just check one last time.

If I'm right, come close.

If not,

move back, okay?

You can't be my little brother.

Right?

You didn't intend to lie to me.

Right?

You wouldn't...

You wouldn't have left
without saying a word.

Right?

-Yumi...
-Shut your mouth!

You're so rotten!

Cha Gyeongpyo, look for yourself.

This is the distance that lies between us.

(We will be temporarily closed)

(Sorry)

(Go, Cat Restaurant!)

(Chin up! Merry Christmas!)

(Are you trying to keep us away?)

Go to the restaurant.

You'll go out of business.

Mom.

Maybe I should just get married.

How about going on a blind date then?

What if I meet someone like dad?

Gosh. No way!

Women chased after him his entire life.

But you said he never made a mistake.

I'm proud of him for that,

but you never know. I could get betrayed!

If you do,

it will really hurt you, right?

Well...

I'm not sure anymore.

When I think about dying,
leaving you behind,

I think it'd be better for you
to have a sibling,

even if they're only half-related.

It'd be nice if it's a son then.

Dad always wanted a son.

Silly girl!

Your dad always talked about having a son
but he loved you so much.

But he wished I was a son on the inside.

I know that.

Don't think about those moments.

Think about the dad
that you knew and experienced.

That's also how he felt about you.

You must acknowledge that.

You rotten girl.

People wanted
to express their feelings to you.

Gyeongpyo...

He went to the army.

So?

A lot of people close to him
have died so...

...he was really anxious that
something could happen to him too.

That's why he couldn't tell you the truth.

He said if something bad happened to him,

it would just shake you up.

I know it's none of my business...

...but it's not Gyeongpyo's fault...

...that he was born that way.

You must really care for him.

I care for you too, Yumi.

So, what I mean is...

...we're all one family.

It's cold.

What's Dalsu doing here?

Who are the others?

They're one family.

What? Did Dalsu remarry?

I told you to take that all off.

Why should I?

It's so nice and warm.

Goodness.

(We want some of your curry
Please open back up)

Cha Gyeongpyo.

25 years old.

Good-looking.

Good personality.

Majored in cooking.

Will probably be a chef after the army.

Started learning to cook to impress my dad
whom I only saw once or twice a year.

My wish is to have a meal
with my sister before I die.

The end.

PS...

Inside the envelope is my curry recipe.

There's a version
for large quantities too.

That's strange.

Why does it only vanish in this street?

Seriously.

Goodness. Stealing cat bowls?

Who would do such a thing?

I should pass by here often
and keep watch.

Of course you should.

Do you want to come inside?

I'll trim your hair for you.

What?

Come on! Come inside.

Let's go!

You're here at last.

Aren't you going to ask about Gyeongpyo?

I'm not curious.

Wait.

He left his earmuffs behind.

Can you give them to him for me?

Should I tell him to come and get them?

You said he went to the army.

He rests on the weekends.

He's a public service worker.

My brother-in-law...

Should I ask him to come?

"Brother-in-law"?

It's alright.

You take good care of him.

Yumi.

I'm sorry.

Sit down.

Eat.

Let me make one thing clear.

This is just a meal.

Nothing more.

It's good.
