Warm and Cozy (2015): Season 1, Episode 4 - Episode #1.4 - full transcript
What's this?
Hey, Jeong-ju.
I'm all for partitioning the room,
but shouldn't we negotiate the ratio?
Even if it isn't five is to five,
it should be at least four is to six.
Think about my height.
Okay, three is to seven.
Sit down.
Okay, two is to eight. No less.
Why are you here?
Tell me the honest truth.
I have a little more debt.
And my brother found out about it.
You told me that you'd pay that off
with my deposit.
You have more debt?
It's a long story.
My brother ended up paying it off,
but then he seized my building in Seoul
and froze all my accounts.
I'm broke and have nowhere to go.
You have plenty of options.
You can go to your brother's resort,
or your sister's mansion--
They don't want me there!
I can understand
that my brother's angry with me.
But isn't my sister too mean?
She doesn't even answer my calls anymore.
I won't take you in either.
Hey, Jeong-ju.
You can't treat me like this!
Have you forgotten
how I let you use the bathroom
and kept your stuff at my place
when you first came to Jeju?
And I'm letting you borrow this beautiful
restaurant for practically free!
So what?
Are you asking for it back?
I am not. I'm not that petty.
But let me stay here for the time being.
I know you intend to. You partitioned
the space with wine boxes already.
But...
I can't even pay you!
I don't expect it.
I'll help you get settled in, so just
give me money for allowance and gas.
Allowance?
We have to shop for today's dishes.
Boss, I'll get ready
and come right back down.
What the...
HALLABONG 5KG FOR 50,000 WON!
This is expensive.
I'll take a look at these.
Hallabong.
-Give us these. The best ones.
-Okay.
Okay.
You have something
better than this, don't you?
I do, but it's pricier.
-That's fine, give me a kilo.
-Gotcha.
Give me five of your biggest abalones.
Sure.
You're buying abalone?
Buy it for me.
I want to make an abalone dish.
I have a recipe in mind
that I need to try out.
Do you really expect to sell something
so expensive in our restaurant?
Here you go.
Okay.
Here.
APRON 10,000 WON
Excuse me,
is this 10,000 won? Can I get a discount?
This is so tacky.
All right.
How is it? Tasty, isn't it?
The flavor of the ocean
has entered my mouth.
It's the best.
It tastes kind of sweet,
and it's really good.
It's sweet?
Ji-won doesn't really like sweet foods.
What?
No, nothing.
Geon-u, I've given it some thought, and
I don't think we can put this on our menu.
Stop working on new abalone dishes,
and try making top shell noodle soup.
Noodles? Okay, I'll make it.
We should've bought some top shells.
Why would we buy that? There's plenty
of fresh top shells outside.
I'll dig some up.
That's hard work.
It won't cost much. I'll go and get some.
Why should we pay for something
we can get for free?
We should save everything we can.
It'll be hard.
The abalone cost so much.
Jeong-ju.
Ta-da!
Why did you buy it? You said it was tacky.
I thought it would look good on you.
I bought it with my own money, okay?
I'll do it.
No, let me.
If we were in Seoul, I'd ask a designer
I know to make an awesome one for you.
But since you're wearing it,
even this looks pretty.
Really?
Thanks, I'll be right back.
Okay.
Jeong-ju, don't overdo it. Take it easy
like you're doing it for exercise.
-I'll prepare the dough.
-Okay.
Hey. Do you like Jeong-ju?
Jeong-ju? She's a good kid.
So step in and do the hard stuff.
Don't make her do it.
You do the cleaning and the dishes.
And you prep the ingredients, which is
the hardest. Don't make her do it!
I've been doing them all.
You don't do any of it.
What's going on here?
My gosh.
I'll dig you all up!
Yes. That's one.
The diving school starts up again soon.
Please help us out.
Of course we'll help.
It's one of your pet projects.
Isn't that the girl
from the Seoul underwear company?
I thought she'd high-tail back to Seoul
after her roof was blown off,
but she's hanging on.
I think she's taking over
that restaurant by the shore.
She is?
She must have wanted
to pick the ingredients herself.
She'll hurt her wrist
if she does it like that.
She's holding it awkwardly,
and sitting awkwardly.
She'll end up with really bad body aches.
I know, right?
That's not how you hold that.
Mr. Mayor!
You'll hurt your wrist
if you hold it like that.
Let me see that.
Hold it like this.
And like this.
You try.
Like this?
No. Hold it like this, then try.
Like this?
-Here it is.
-This is so much easier.
-Try this one.
-They look good together.
I know.
I told you that's not how you hold it.
This is so frustrating! Is she an idiot?
Did you just swear at me?
-No.
-Yes, you did.
I was just frustrated.
Why can't you do this?
What's so difficult about it?
Whatever. Forget it.
Wait. Where are you going?
Since you swore at me,
you should teach me how to do it right.
Show me again.
Like this? Do it like this?
-Relax your wrist.
-Relax my wrist.
Relax your wrist, stab it, and flick.
If you can't do it on the first try,
then like this...
-Why doesn't it work for me?
-Now you try it.
-Relax your wrist. Stab it.
-Relax.
Stab and flick.
That's right. You're finally getting it.
Once you get it, it's easy.
-Again.
-Okay.
Stab and flick!
You got it.
Stab and flick!
Picking barnacles may seem easy,
but it's hard work.
Barnacles?
These aren't top shells?
That's what I wanted.
These are barnacles,
and these are the top shells.
This is so frustrating! Is she an idiot?
I don't appreciate being sworn at,
but thank you for teaching me.
Mr. Mayor, are you sure
we haven't met before?
This pose seems somehow familiar.
I'm sure I've seen it
somewhere before, but...
Look here, Seoul Lady.
I'm sure in Seoul, you can use
pick-up lines like that thoughtlessly,
but here, if you flirt with someone,
you need to marry him.
What?
If you don't want to marry me, don't say
things like you've seen me before.
Where could we have met?
Don't ever say you've seen me before.
Goodness. How ridiculous.
Is he getting mad because
he thinks I flirted with him?
If you weren't the mayor, I'd...
She couldn't have recognized me.
What are you talking about?
I can tell right away!
How do you know so many good eateries?
You're a guru at finding blogs
for the best eateries.
Let's stop by this restaurant
after the workshop in Jeju.
I saw it on Boo Mi-ra's blog,
and the chef is super hot.
Is the food good?
Wait, isn't this Jeong-ju?
Oh, my. It is her!
I heard she moved to Jeju,
but what is she doing?
Hey, that's hilarious.
Let's show everyone.
In order to make a bowl of top shell
noodles,
she toils under the sun.
What is she taking pictures of?
What the...
If the wind wants it,
the wind may have it.
Go ahead and take it!
Oh, my goodness.
Chief, Jeong-ju must support herself
by picking top shells in Jeju.
I thought she was opening a café.
Why is she digging up shellfish?
I don't know.
Should we contact her when we're in Jeju
for the workshop?
It'll be fun!
Top shell noodle soup.
-That looks delicious.
-Okay.
How is it?
This is it!
This weekend, our lunch and dinner menu
will be top shell noodle soup.
You want to work over the weekend?
With just noodles?
Yeah.
I'll pick the top shells, wash them,
make the broth,
cook the noodles and serve them.
The top shells are free. One bag of flour
will make 100 bowls easily.
If we charge 5,000 won each,
and we work on Saturdays and Sundays...
That would be a million won? I love it!
Let's do it.
Sure.
Do you think we can really sell
100 bowls a day over the weekend?
I'm not sure.
We've never opened on a weekend,
so I wouldn't know.
Since Jeju is a tourist destination,
don't you think it's possible?
Who knows? Our location
isn't a tourist spot, so I couldn't say.
I don't know what to expect.
WARM AND COZY
TOP SHELL NOODLE SOUP
FIRST DAY OF BUSINESS ON A WEEKEND
SORANG
How are you?
Welcome!
-Hello.
-Are you here for our noodles?
I'm the delivery guy.
Jeong Pung-san?
That's me. Thank you.
It's lunchtime,
and there are no customers.
It's the first time
we've opened on the weekend,
so people don't know about it yet.
You deliver packages as well?
I do it from time to time.
I can pass out flyers for you,
so let me know if you need anything.
It wasn't a fly.
I don't even see a fly in here.
This place desperately needs
some marketing.
Wait.
How much would it cost to set up
a sign outside the restaurant?
Let's talk outside.
Okay.
-Did you buy another figure?
-Isn't it pretty?
We didn't make much over the weekend.
What will we do with all those top shells?
She's so greedy.
I'll see you later then.
Okay. See you.
Okay. Bye.
Mr. Gong's going to let lend us
some displays for cheap.
Follow that car.
Why? I was headed to the airport.
Airport? Why?
Ji-won arrives today.
I'm going to pick her up.
We're working right now.
Do you really have to go?
We don't even have any customers.
And I'm just using my break time.
It costs gas money to go
back and forth the airport.
That's why I took gas money.
I'll be back soon.
He really took all of it.
Jerk.
Yes.
Geon-u, where are you?
You were too busy to come?
I see.
It's okay.
Is it really okay?
Geon-u, why are you messing with me?
I wanted to see
how disappointed you'd get.
I like seeing you look disappointed
because it would mean
you expect something from me.
If I looked fine,
would you have just left me?
Yes.
I should've cried.
If you had cried,
I would've carried you out.
Give me that.
It's okay, I can manage.
-Okay.
-I'll call you as soon as I'm settled in.
Okay. Then I'll come
pick you up right away.
No, I can find my way there.
Prepare something delicious
and wait for me.
Okay.
You must be busy. You should go.
No, you go first.
-See you.
-Okay. Bye.
With the opening of the new building,
we've been working on the weekends.
You'll be a huge help.
I'll do my best.
Say hello. This is Ji-won.
-Nice to meet you.
-It's a pleasure.
Mr. Song is in a meeting,
so we'll meet with him a little later.
I already gave Jeong-geun a call.
Sorry. I'm so used to calling him by name.
I should call him "Mr. Song."
You must be very close with Mr. Song
on a personal level.
Next, we'll outline the plans,
preparing for the opening
of our new building.
This event...
Say "ah."
Compared to our current budget...
Based on our current budget,
we will be able to hold
a large-scale event for up to 300 guests.
Why didn't you give me your number?
See? I'm a black pearl.
Don't you regret it?
Since you pulled me out of the water,
you should've taken a look inside.
Our new building,
which required an investment
of 650 billion won,
will be showcased at the opening ceremony.
The entire staff and the executives
will be present...
SORANG HAENYEO DIVING SCHOOL
-Here.
-Yeah.
Here you go.
SORANG HAENYEO DIVING SCHOOL APPLICANTS
We have a lot of applicants this year.
Most are from the mainland.
There's a good number of foreigners, too.
This didn't become a tourist attraction,
right?
Many signed up because they're curious,
but there are many young people
who want to learn the skill seriously.
Please interview them
and find the hidden pearls.
Pearls?
I pulled out a black pearl
and sent it away.
Are you telling me...
you'll dump the black pearl
that you pulled out
without even opening it up
and taking a look?
If someone like that would come
and learn the trade,
it would motivate him to live.
I just met the PR team.
It'll be busy.
I trust you'll do a good job.
Let's set a time to have dinner
with Geon-u.
I'm going to his restaurant tonight.
Do you want to go with me?
We've been having issues lately.
If I go, he'll think I'm giving in.
Let's go after a bit.
Okay.
The employees only know you
as a strict company president.
They probably have no idea
what a thoughtful brother you are.
Neither does Geon-u.
I know, so you'll be
the nice big brother figure to me,
rather than
the strict company president, right?
I came all the way to Jeju because
I trust you.
Ji-won, I hired you
not because you're an old family friend,
but because you're talented.
I know.
That ends my personal greeting.
I'll work hard, Mr. Song.
What is this?
TOP SHELL NOODLE SOUP
Hey, Jeong-ju! What are you doing?
And what's that thing
flapping out there? It looks tacky.
Who cares if it looks tacky?
I'm hoping it'll draw people's attention
and bring in at least one more customer.
And what's this?
"Top shell noodle soup"?
Are you putting this
in front of our restaurant?
One here, and one by the big road.
Also, you emptied out
the cash register, didn't you?
I know your car's expensive,
but you didn't spend it all on gas,
did you?
Give me the change.
I need to get more paint.
No. I need to buy abalone with the rest.
I'm short actually. Do you have any money?
Abalone?
I told you that it's too expensive
for our menu!
I'm not going to sell it.
I told you that Ji-won's coming.
I want to make her an abalone dish.
Were you working on new recipes that time
to feed that girl?
Yes.
And this is Warm and Cozy,
not some noodle shop.
This is embarrassing.
I'm going to make it a noodle shop!
I made this sign in order to sell noodles!
I don't want to make only noodles.
It's boring!
I cook because it's fun
when people enjoy my food.
It must be nice, living for fun.
But I can't.
I'm going to make
this restaurant profitable.
I'll get rid of that fancy, arrogant sign,
and make this nice and visible
and sell noodles.
Says who?
It's my restaurant. I can do what I want.
I paid 50 million won
to rent this restaurant.
If you don't want to make noodles,
get out.
I lent this to you for a measly
50 million, so you should use it well!
I did it because I felt sorry for you,
but you think you own the place.
Then give me my money back!
Give me my money!
You're a beggar who doesn't have
a measly 50 million won.
A beggar?
Do you really think it's because
I don't have the money, that--
I'll bring you your 50 million won,
so take that and get out!
And you'd better take
that flapping thing with you!
I'll keep you updated on the trends.
Sir. Your brother has requested
a check withdrawal.
What should I do?
He's staying at the restaurant
with Lee Jeong-ju, right?
Yes.
I guess the 100-won girl
decided to pick him up.
Send him away for now without the money.
Yes, sir.
We need to vamp up marketing.
And we should look into
more diverse events.
Can you take care of this too?
Sure.
I don't think we'll sell all of that.
What should we do with them?
-Throw them away?
-No.
I can't throw them away.
I was thinking about taking some
to Mr. Gong's sushi restaurant.
Here, place it here.
Okay.
Will you be okay? It looks heavy.
Want me to go with you? Or should I go?
Who will cook if we have customers?
I should go.
I'll be right back.
Careful.
Goodness. Will she be all right?
Mr. Song's brother is the half-brother
with a different father, right?
It sounds like he's in Jeju.
He wouldn't give him a position
at our resort, would he?
This is a Song family business.
The other Song family members wouldn't
let him bring in his half brother.
Come to think of it,
Mr. Song's mother's children
all have different last names.
The late Baek Se-yeong was notorious.
She had a daughter
with actor Choi Min-guk.
No one knows whose son the youngest is.
His name was Baek something
since he took on his mom's last name.
The famous baseball player.
He's a coach now.
I heard rumors that he's his son.
There's a rumor that it's the artist
Oh something, too.
Some say he's the child
of G Group's chairman.
I doubt he'd bring in his brother
who had been swept up in rumors
when he's establishing himself
at the company.
Right?
Let's go.
So your brother is the president
of the Noblesse Hotel?
You're a Cha, and he's a Song,
so I'd have never guessed.
We have the same mom, but different dads.
Your mom's amazing.
How many men did she have?
Who's your younger brother's dad?
The richest, handsomest man,
and lastly, the worst guy in the world.
Do you like this one?
Yes.
Let's go with that, then.
I'll go pay.
I can't do this.
PUNG-SAN
Jeong-ju.
Pung-san!
Great news!
We have three customers!
It hurts so much!
Jeong-ju?
I think I'm dying! It hurts so much.
Please come help!
What was that?
Pung-san, do you hear me?
Jeong-ju?
Oh, my!
I'm okay now.
Excuse me, may I get more water?
Right away, ma'am.
I thought I was going to die.
This is so frustrating. Is she an idiot?
You've caught a lot.
Here's the money for the top shells.
We usually buy from someone else,
but we bought yours for the Mayor's sake.
Thank you.
I can't refuse the Mayor.
Bye.
So...
Thank you for your help.
If you'll excuse me...
Wait.
-Yes?
-You're just taking off?
Yes, why?
If you're thankful, buy me noodles.
But...
There.
Enjoy.
Thank you.
If you wanted me to repay you so badly,
we could've gone to my restaurant.
I made 20,000 won, but these noodles
cost 7,000 won per person.
Do you really think I'm doing this
to make you repay me?
It's about exchanging feelings.
Feelings?
Mayor, I did hear
that you were a bachelor,
but I have no intention of
exchanging feelings with you.
Not us,
but the owner of the restaurant and you.
She was kind enough
to buy your top shells,
so you should buy her noodles,
compliment them...
These noodles are so good!
They're the best!
Then you can tell her that you're opening
a restaurant in Sorang,
and say you may ask her for advice later.
Building relationships
is the most important thing.
I guess so.
How do you like it?
Yes!
It's really good!
I hope you like it.
Thank you.
-Thank you.
-Sure.
I'll be sure to visit your restaurant.
Thank you.
Bye now.
This place is far from the Olle Trail too.
Many places succeeded
even if they're far from the Olle Trail.
So this place is super successful, right?
They're the best noodle place in the area.
They're not busy now,
but come lunchtime, this place is packed.
Really?
Geon-u's noodle soup
tastes so much better.
How could a lazy bum who doesn't work
make good food?
I bet he's just as thoughtless
with his cooking as he is with everything.
There are outsiders who start restaurants
for fun like him,
but they never last long.
They get bored and leave
after ruining the atmosphere of the town.
Geon-u's cooking is incredibly
delicious, no joke.
I see you've never even stopped by to try.
Even the mayor doesn't reach out to him.
No wonder he can't get along
with the villagers.
Mayor Hwang! It's been a while.
-How have you been?
-Well.
I guess you were on a blind date.
No, it's not a blind date.
It looks like it was.
What are you doing?
Tell him we weren't on a blind date.
We weren't on a blind date.
See? It wasn't a blind date.
Definitely not.
Is that right? Okay, then.
Have a nice day.
Hello.
Mayor Hwang.
Now that I think about it,
I'm a bit offended.
I don't want people to think
we were on a blind date either,
but you were so offended
and denied it so adamantly.
It made me feel awkward.
If people get the wrong idea here,
you have to marry me.
Do you want to marry me?
What?
-I do not.
-Then we're good.
Thanks for lunch.
Also...
I'll take your advice to heart
about how a mayor should behave.
I'll give Geon-u's cooking a chance.
You might not have a chance to anymore.
We got into a fight,
and I told him to quit.
That stupid abalone.
Abalone?
What about abalone?
This way.
Did you sell a lot?
Hello.
She wanted to buy abalone,
so I brought her here.
You sell abalone too?
Of course.
I sell sea cucumbers,
sea squirts, everything.
I'll give you a good price.
Here. This is abalone. Take your pick.
No, not those. You want to look
for the large, oval-shaped ones.
I see.
The Mayor knows his stuff.
-Let see.
-That too.
How do you do?
Hae-sil.
Keep looking.
Hae-sil, did you go diving again today?
You should rest on the weekends.
-There you go.
-This is quite the catch.
Aren't those abalones as well?
They're way bigger than these.
Of course. Those are wild.
The wild abalones that the haenyeos catch
are on a different level, and expensive.
They look expensive.
How much is all of that?
Why?
Do you want to buy some of those?
No.
There's no reason for me
to bring him wild abalone for that girl.
I hope these will make him feel better.
2015 SUNGHAN APPAREL WORKSHOP
I saw Geon-u's car in the lot.
Where is he?
What?
Jeong-ju's here looking for me?
She said she'd come back with you.
Tell her to forget it.
Stop being mad.
She was in a great deal of pain,
but went for you anyway.
What?
She's in pain?
She called earlier and sounded like
she was about to die.
She said she was better afterward,
but she went to look for you
in her condition,
so let it slide and come with her.
Fine. Bye.
-Look here.
-What is it?
Aren't you going to clean this?
If you leave it, the custodians
will take care of it.
That won't be for a while.
You spilled it.
You should clean it up a little.
What if someone slips
on the ice and falls?
Ice melts on its own, but fine.
Hey!
That bitch.
What is this?
Let's go another way.
Jeong-ju?
Chief Park?
We're here for the company workshop.
I see.
Jeong-ju, do you work here?
No.
I came straight from work.
Do you catch top shells?
How did you know?
Your picture was posted
up on Boo Mi-ra's blog.
I guess it really is true.
Yes, I catch top shells.
I used to buy them from the market,
but the customers loved the wild ones
so much more, so...
I see.
Have a great time while you're here.
We're going to Jusangjeolli Cliff.
We can drop you off on the way.
No, don't worry about me.
If you don't have a car, come with us.
You're carrying that too. Get on.
Jeong-ju!
Get in!
The boss shouldn't be carrying
things like this.
Give me that.
Who are these people?
They're from my old job.
My old manager and coworkers.
I see. How do you do?
Yes, hello.
I'm the chef at Jeong-ju's restaurant.
-Restaurant?
-You run a restaurant?
You?
You're the chef on Boo Mi-ra's blog!
Warm and Cozy?
Jeong-ju, that's your restaurant?
Well...
Yes. She's the owner.
Sweetie, I've always wanted to go there!
Can we stop by?
Of course you can.
Our boss' guests are always welcome.
Jeong-ju, you're incredible!
Then we'll be there tonight!
-Okay.
-We'll see you later tonight.
All right.
Get in.
-Go on, Jeong-ju.
-Bye.
Go on ahead.
See you tonight.
Get in, boss.
See you later, Jeong-ju!
Goodbye.
-Bye!
-Oh, my gosh!
Jeong-ju.
Yes?
I heard you were in pain.
In pain?
I heard that you called Pung-san,
complaining that you were going to die...
That you were in pain.
That was nothing. I'm fine now.
Are you really fine?
You made me worry.
Geon-u.
I think I was too harsh earlier.
So...
You're sorry?
I bought you some abalone.
How many?
Five.
Well.
I thought we're only serving noodles
from now on?
Are we going to feed your colleagues
only noodles?
Hey, come on now. You're the chef.
You've already tried
to act cool with your sports car,
so go all the way with your cooking.
Okay.
Boss, I'll make sure I make you look good
in front of them.
Just you wait.
Yes, Chef.
-Pung-san!
-Yes?
-Get the bell pepper salad ready.
-Got it.
Jeong-ju!
What?
Taste this for me. It's hot.
How is it?
Is it good?
-Come in.
-How are you?
Hello!
Come on inside.
I like the ambiance.
It's nice.
-I'm impressed.
-Look at the decor.
-You must have worked hard.
-It's so cool.
-Seriously.
-I know.
Okay, here's the food.
-What is that?
-Octopus salad.
Steamed halibut.
-Halibut?
-Fried vegetables.
Boiled pork with scallions.
They're so pretty.
This looks delicious.
Watch your back. Hot stuff coming.
The main course.
Abalone rice!
My taste buds are being spoiled tonight!
Enjoy!
Thank you.
My taste buds are being spoiled tonight.
Mr. Mayor.
Gosh. You couldn't sell everything?
I'm saving a few for my kids
coming from Seoul.
You must be happy.
Aren't those abalones as well?
They're way bigger than these.
Can I get a few of those?
Geon-u, I brought the empty plates...
I cook because it's fun
when people enjoy my food.
Geon-u.
Yes?
Are you having fun?
Mr. Mayor?
What's going on here?
You have quite a few customers today.
Are you here for dinner?
You told me to come.
Let me see just how good it is.
I even brought ingredients.
If you end up liking our food,
can we get a recommendation plaque
or something?
There's a process for that.
It's not my decision.
Jeong-ju, what are you doing?
Let's take a picture together!
-Jeong-ju!
-Hurry up!
Okay.
I guess you know them.
Yes. They're from my old company,
Sunghan Apparel.
Sunghan Apparel?
Mr. Mayor.
You can take the picture for us.
We don't have enough people.
Come on. Don't be so mean.
Coming!
I'm here.
Come on.
He'll take the picture for us.
Really?
Okay.
Just press this button. Thank you.
Thank you.
Jeong-ju, who is that man?
He seems very familiar.
Does he?
He's the mayor here.
I thought he seemed familiar too
when I first met him. You too?
I'm sure I've seen him somewhere before.
Right. Where was it?
Is he a celebrity?
Red Clay Man.
Sunghan Apparel's number one hit in 1998!
He's the very same model, Red Clay Man!
You're right!
-Red Clay Man.
-It is him.
You were Red Clay Man?
Red Clay Man.
When I was young, I once...
I once moved out to Seoul.
I did a gig as an underwear model
just once.
How did they recognize me
from just one picture?
The red clay underwear that you took
just one picture for
is our company's unrivaled best seller.
There's a picture this big
hanging in our showroom.
Since everyone saw your face every day,
they recognized you right away.
But the villagers don't know anything
about my modeling days when I was young.
Don't worry about that.
Your secret is safe with me.
Just this once.
Go in and eat.
I don't think I'll be able to eat
with everyone looking at me.
Maybe next time.
Secret.
Trust me, will you?
Go on.
Bye.
What was that about?
What were you discussing with the Mayor?
Nothing.
I warned you.
Don't get too close to that guy.
They'll associate you with him.
Right. Here, I heard
if you get involved at all,
you have to get married.
What? The Mayor said that?
How shameless. How could he tell you
to marry him?
Jeong-ju, don't talk to the Mayor
ever again, okay?
That's right. I left the seafood
that he brought for us over there.
Let's make snacks with that.
I will not. Not with that!
What's wrong with him?
If you look over there, you'll see...
That was a girl next to him.
That was really good.
Everything was delicious.
Jeong-ju, we had a great time today.
I'm glad.
Goodbye.
-Thanks.
-See you again!
-Thanks.
-Everything was great.
Goodbye.
I'll take them back to the resort
and go home.
Okay. Drive safely.
Thank you for today!
Don't mention it!
Come again!
Take care!
Bye!
Thanks for your hard work.
Let's go.
Geon-u.
Thanks for today.
Everyone had a great time.
That was nothing.
But we used up all the abalone
that I got for your friend.
It's all right. I don't even know
when she'll come.
That's right. We have the one
that the Mayor left behind.
Really?
You told me that you like sweet,
roasted abalone, right?
Yes.
You're such a kid.
Then why don't we have sweet, roasted
abalone tonight and knock down a few?
You want me to have the last abalone?
Yes. I'll grill it up nicely
and make it the tastiest ever.
Okay, then I'll clean up here.
Forget it.
You weren't well earlier. I'll clean up.
Hey, it's chilly out here.
You should dress warmly.
You'll catch a cold.
No, I'm comfortable now.
Go put on something warm.
I'll grill up the abalone in the meantime.
All right.
This or this?
I think I'm going too far.
This is better.
That looks good.
I thought we were in the mood for soju,
but it looks like we're having wine?
Really?
I'll get the shot glasses.
No, wine will be better.
I'll go and get a bottle.
I gave you this restaurant
after having champagne.
Don't expect me to give you
something again today.
Nonsense.
Should we light some candles?
I don't expect anything from him.
There, all finished.
Who's that?
Ji-won.
Geon-u.
I thought you'd be too busy to stop by.
You really came.
Of course. I should come.
How do you like the view?
It's really nice.
Who's that?
This is a wild abalone.
You made this yourself?
Of course, I did.
Try it, it's really good.
Do you see another chef here?
Really?
Of course.
Geon-u, give me a tour of the place.
Your friend must hate me.
I'm here to see this lady.
Take responsibility.
I wondered how you were doing.
Do you want to try diving?
I'm so worried about you.
So you think Jeong-ju is terminally ill?
We're not like that. Right, Geon-u?
We're just friends.
Even if she marries someone else,
I'll still like her.
I know that she's bad,
but I'm willing to be the fool.
What's it to you? Do you like me?
Subtitle translation by Jeong Lee
Hey, Jeong-ju.
I'm all for partitioning the room,
but shouldn't we negotiate the ratio?
Even if it isn't five is to five,
it should be at least four is to six.
Think about my height.
Okay, three is to seven.
Sit down.
Okay, two is to eight. No less.
Why are you here?
Tell me the honest truth.
I have a little more debt.
And my brother found out about it.
You told me that you'd pay that off
with my deposit.
You have more debt?
It's a long story.
My brother ended up paying it off,
but then he seized my building in Seoul
and froze all my accounts.
I'm broke and have nowhere to go.
You have plenty of options.
You can go to your brother's resort,
or your sister's mansion--
They don't want me there!
I can understand
that my brother's angry with me.
But isn't my sister too mean?
She doesn't even answer my calls anymore.
I won't take you in either.
Hey, Jeong-ju.
You can't treat me like this!
Have you forgotten
how I let you use the bathroom
and kept your stuff at my place
when you first came to Jeju?
And I'm letting you borrow this beautiful
restaurant for practically free!
So what?
Are you asking for it back?
I am not. I'm not that petty.
But let me stay here for the time being.
I know you intend to. You partitioned
the space with wine boxes already.
But...
I can't even pay you!
I don't expect it.
I'll help you get settled in, so just
give me money for allowance and gas.
Allowance?
We have to shop for today's dishes.
Boss, I'll get ready
and come right back down.
What the...
HALLABONG 5KG FOR 50,000 WON!
This is expensive.
I'll take a look at these.
Hallabong.
-Give us these. The best ones.
-Okay.
Okay.
You have something
better than this, don't you?
I do, but it's pricier.
-That's fine, give me a kilo.
-Gotcha.
Give me five of your biggest abalones.
Sure.
You're buying abalone?
Buy it for me.
I want to make an abalone dish.
I have a recipe in mind
that I need to try out.
Do you really expect to sell something
so expensive in our restaurant?
Here you go.
Okay.
Here.
APRON 10,000 WON
Excuse me,
is this 10,000 won? Can I get a discount?
This is so tacky.
All right.
How is it? Tasty, isn't it?
The flavor of the ocean
has entered my mouth.
It's the best.
It tastes kind of sweet,
and it's really good.
It's sweet?
Ji-won doesn't really like sweet foods.
What?
No, nothing.
Geon-u, I've given it some thought, and
I don't think we can put this on our menu.
Stop working on new abalone dishes,
and try making top shell noodle soup.
Noodles? Okay, I'll make it.
We should've bought some top shells.
Why would we buy that? There's plenty
of fresh top shells outside.
I'll dig some up.
That's hard work.
It won't cost much. I'll go and get some.
Why should we pay for something
we can get for free?
We should save everything we can.
It'll be hard.
The abalone cost so much.
Jeong-ju.
Ta-da!
Why did you buy it? You said it was tacky.
I thought it would look good on you.
I bought it with my own money, okay?
I'll do it.
No, let me.
If we were in Seoul, I'd ask a designer
I know to make an awesome one for you.
But since you're wearing it,
even this looks pretty.
Really?
Thanks, I'll be right back.
Okay.
Jeong-ju, don't overdo it. Take it easy
like you're doing it for exercise.
-I'll prepare the dough.
-Okay.
Hey. Do you like Jeong-ju?
Jeong-ju? She's a good kid.
So step in and do the hard stuff.
Don't make her do it.
You do the cleaning and the dishes.
And you prep the ingredients, which is
the hardest. Don't make her do it!
I've been doing them all.
You don't do any of it.
What's going on here?
My gosh.
I'll dig you all up!
Yes. That's one.
The diving school starts up again soon.
Please help us out.
Of course we'll help.
It's one of your pet projects.
Isn't that the girl
from the Seoul underwear company?
I thought she'd high-tail back to Seoul
after her roof was blown off,
but she's hanging on.
I think she's taking over
that restaurant by the shore.
She is?
She must have wanted
to pick the ingredients herself.
She'll hurt her wrist
if she does it like that.
She's holding it awkwardly,
and sitting awkwardly.
She'll end up with really bad body aches.
I know, right?
That's not how you hold that.
Mr. Mayor!
You'll hurt your wrist
if you hold it like that.
Let me see that.
Hold it like this.
And like this.
You try.
Like this?
No. Hold it like this, then try.
Like this?
-Here it is.
-This is so much easier.
-Try this one.
-They look good together.
I know.
I told you that's not how you hold it.
This is so frustrating! Is she an idiot?
Did you just swear at me?
-No.
-Yes, you did.
I was just frustrated.
Why can't you do this?
What's so difficult about it?
Whatever. Forget it.
Wait. Where are you going?
Since you swore at me,
you should teach me how to do it right.
Show me again.
Like this? Do it like this?
-Relax your wrist.
-Relax my wrist.
Relax your wrist, stab it, and flick.
If you can't do it on the first try,
then like this...
-Why doesn't it work for me?
-Now you try it.
-Relax your wrist. Stab it.
-Relax.
Stab and flick.
That's right. You're finally getting it.
Once you get it, it's easy.
-Again.
-Okay.
Stab and flick!
You got it.
Stab and flick!
Picking barnacles may seem easy,
but it's hard work.
Barnacles?
These aren't top shells?
That's what I wanted.
These are barnacles,
and these are the top shells.
This is so frustrating! Is she an idiot?
I don't appreciate being sworn at,
but thank you for teaching me.
Mr. Mayor, are you sure
we haven't met before?
This pose seems somehow familiar.
I'm sure I've seen it
somewhere before, but...
Look here, Seoul Lady.
I'm sure in Seoul, you can use
pick-up lines like that thoughtlessly,
but here, if you flirt with someone,
you need to marry him.
What?
If you don't want to marry me, don't say
things like you've seen me before.
Where could we have met?
Don't ever say you've seen me before.
Goodness. How ridiculous.
Is he getting mad because
he thinks I flirted with him?
If you weren't the mayor, I'd...
She couldn't have recognized me.
What are you talking about?
I can tell right away!
How do you know so many good eateries?
You're a guru at finding blogs
for the best eateries.
Let's stop by this restaurant
after the workshop in Jeju.
I saw it on Boo Mi-ra's blog,
and the chef is super hot.
Is the food good?
Wait, isn't this Jeong-ju?
Oh, my. It is her!
I heard she moved to Jeju,
but what is she doing?
Hey, that's hilarious.
Let's show everyone.
In order to make a bowl of top shell
noodles,
she toils under the sun.
What is she taking pictures of?
What the...
If the wind wants it,
the wind may have it.
Go ahead and take it!
Oh, my goodness.
Chief, Jeong-ju must support herself
by picking top shells in Jeju.
I thought she was opening a café.
Why is she digging up shellfish?
I don't know.
Should we contact her when we're in Jeju
for the workshop?
It'll be fun!
Top shell noodle soup.
-That looks delicious.
-Okay.
How is it?
This is it!
This weekend, our lunch and dinner menu
will be top shell noodle soup.
You want to work over the weekend?
With just noodles?
Yeah.
I'll pick the top shells, wash them,
make the broth,
cook the noodles and serve them.
The top shells are free. One bag of flour
will make 100 bowls easily.
If we charge 5,000 won each,
and we work on Saturdays and Sundays...
That would be a million won? I love it!
Let's do it.
Sure.
Do you think we can really sell
100 bowls a day over the weekend?
I'm not sure.
We've never opened on a weekend,
so I wouldn't know.
Since Jeju is a tourist destination,
don't you think it's possible?
Who knows? Our location
isn't a tourist spot, so I couldn't say.
I don't know what to expect.
WARM AND COZY
TOP SHELL NOODLE SOUP
FIRST DAY OF BUSINESS ON A WEEKEND
SORANG
How are you?
Welcome!
-Hello.
-Are you here for our noodles?
I'm the delivery guy.
Jeong Pung-san?
That's me. Thank you.
It's lunchtime,
and there are no customers.
It's the first time
we've opened on the weekend,
so people don't know about it yet.
You deliver packages as well?
I do it from time to time.
I can pass out flyers for you,
so let me know if you need anything.
It wasn't a fly.
I don't even see a fly in here.
This place desperately needs
some marketing.
Wait.
How much would it cost to set up
a sign outside the restaurant?
Let's talk outside.
Okay.
-Did you buy another figure?
-Isn't it pretty?
We didn't make much over the weekend.
What will we do with all those top shells?
She's so greedy.
I'll see you later then.
Okay. See you.
Okay. Bye.
Mr. Gong's going to let lend us
some displays for cheap.
Follow that car.
Why? I was headed to the airport.
Airport? Why?
Ji-won arrives today.
I'm going to pick her up.
We're working right now.
Do you really have to go?
We don't even have any customers.
And I'm just using my break time.
It costs gas money to go
back and forth the airport.
That's why I took gas money.
I'll be back soon.
He really took all of it.
Jerk.
Yes.
Geon-u, where are you?
You were too busy to come?
I see.
It's okay.
Is it really okay?
Geon-u, why are you messing with me?
I wanted to see
how disappointed you'd get.
I like seeing you look disappointed
because it would mean
you expect something from me.
If I looked fine,
would you have just left me?
Yes.
I should've cried.
If you had cried,
I would've carried you out.
Give me that.
It's okay, I can manage.
-Okay.
-I'll call you as soon as I'm settled in.
Okay. Then I'll come
pick you up right away.
No, I can find my way there.
Prepare something delicious
and wait for me.
Okay.
You must be busy. You should go.
No, you go first.
-See you.
-Okay. Bye.
With the opening of the new building,
we've been working on the weekends.
You'll be a huge help.
I'll do my best.
Say hello. This is Ji-won.
-Nice to meet you.
-It's a pleasure.
Mr. Song is in a meeting,
so we'll meet with him a little later.
I already gave Jeong-geun a call.
Sorry. I'm so used to calling him by name.
I should call him "Mr. Song."
You must be very close with Mr. Song
on a personal level.
Next, we'll outline the plans,
preparing for the opening
of our new building.
This event...
Say "ah."
Compared to our current budget...
Based on our current budget,
we will be able to hold
a large-scale event for up to 300 guests.
Why didn't you give me your number?
See? I'm a black pearl.
Don't you regret it?
Since you pulled me out of the water,
you should've taken a look inside.
Our new building,
which required an investment
of 650 billion won,
will be showcased at the opening ceremony.
The entire staff and the executives
will be present...
SORANG HAENYEO DIVING SCHOOL
-Here.
-Yeah.
Here you go.
SORANG HAENYEO DIVING SCHOOL APPLICANTS
We have a lot of applicants this year.
Most are from the mainland.
There's a good number of foreigners, too.
This didn't become a tourist attraction,
right?
Many signed up because they're curious,
but there are many young people
who want to learn the skill seriously.
Please interview them
and find the hidden pearls.
Pearls?
I pulled out a black pearl
and sent it away.
Are you telling me...
you'll dump the black pearl
that you pulled out
without even opening it up
and taking a look?
If someone like that would come
and learn the trade,
it would motivate him to live.
I just met the PR team.
It'll be busy.
I trust you'll do a good job.
Let's set a time to have dinner
with Geon-u.
I'm going to his restaurant tonight.
Do you want to go with me?
We've been having issues lately.
If I go, he'll think I'm giving in.
Let's go after a bit.
Okay.
The employees only know you
as a strict company president.
They probably have no idea
what a thoughtful brother you are.
Neither does Geon-u.
I know, so you'll be
the nice big brother figure to me,
rather than
the strict company president, right?
I came all the way to Jeju because
I trust you.
Ji-won, I hired you
not because you're an old family friend,
but because you're talented.
I know.
That ends my personal greeting.
I'll work hard, Mr. Song.
What is this?
TOP SHELL NOODLE SOUP
Hey, Jeong-ju! What are you doing?
And what's that thing
flapping out there? It looks tacky.
Who cares if it looks tacky?
I'm hoping it'll draw people's attention
and bring in at least one more customer.
And what's this?
"Top shell noodle soup"?
Are you putting this
in front of our restaurant?
One here, and one by the big road.
Also, you emptied out
the cash register, didn't you?
I know your car's expensive,
but you didn't spend it all on gas,
did you?
Give me the change.
I need to get more paint.
No. I need to buy abalone with the rest.
I'm short actually. Do you have any money?
Abalone?
I told you that it's too expensive
for our menu!
I'm not going to sell it.
I told you that Ji-won's coming.
I want to make her an abalone dish.
Were you working on new recipes that time
to feed that girl?
Yes.
And this is Warm and Cozy,
not some noodle shop.
This is embarrassing.
I'm going to make it a noodle shop!
I made this sign in order to sell noodles!
I don't want to make only noodles.
It's boring!
I cook because it's fun
when people enjoy my food.
It must be nice, living for fun.
But I can't.
I'm going to make
this restaurant profitable.
I'll get rid of that fancy, arrogant sign,
and make this nice and visible
and sell noodles.
Says who?
It's my restaurant. I can do what I want.
I paid 50 million won
to rent this restaurant.
If you don't want to make noodles,
get out.
I lent this to you for a measly
50 million, so you should use it well!
I did it because I felt sorry for you,
but you think you own the place.
Then give me my money back!
Give me my money!
You're a beggar who doesn't have
a measly 50 million won.
A beggar?
Do you really think it's because
I don't have the money, that--
I'll bring you your 50 million won,
so take that and get out!
And you'd better take
that flapping thing with you!
I'll keep you updated on the trends.
Sir. Your brother has requested
a check withdrawal.
What should I do?
He's staying at the restaurant
with Lee Jeong-ju, right?
Yes.
I guess the 100-won girl
decided to pick him up.
Send him away for now without the money.
Yes, sir.
We need to vamp up marketing.
And we should look into
more diverse events.
Can you take care of this too?
Sure.
I don't think we'll sell all of that.
What should we do with them?
-Throw them away?
-No.
I can't throw them away.
I was thinking about taking some
to Mr. Gong's sushi restaurant.
Here, place it here.
Okay.
Will you be okay? It looks heavy.
Want me to go with you? Or should I go?
Who will cook if we have customers?
I should go.
I'll be right back.
Careful.
Goodness. Will she be all right?
Mr. Song's brother is the half-brother
with a different father, right?
It sounds like he's in Jeju.
He wouldn't give him a position
at our resort, would he?
This is a Song family business.
The other Song family members wouldn't
let him bring in his half brother.
Come to think of it,
Mr. Song's mother's children
all have different last names.
The late Baek Se-yeong was notorious.
She had a daughter
with actor Choi Min-guk.
No one knows whose son the youngest is.
His name was Baek something
since he took on his mom's last name.
The famous baseball player.
He's a coach now.
I heard rumors that he's his son.
There's a rumor that it's the artist
Oh something, too.
Some say he's the child
of G Group's chairman.
I doubt he'd bring in his brother
who had been swept up in rumors
when he's establishing himself
at the company.
Right?
Let's go.
So your brother is the president
of the Noblesse Hotel?
You're a Cha, and he's a Song,
so I'd have never guessed.
We have the same mom, but different dads.
Your mom's amazing.
How many men did she have?
Who's your younger brother's dad?
The richest, handsomest man,
and lastly, the worst guy in the world.
Do you like this one?
Yes.
Let's go with that, then.
I'll go pay.
I can't do this.
PUNG-SAN
Jeong-ju.
Pung-san!
Great news!
We have three customers!
It hurts so much!
Jeong-ju?
I think I'm dying! It hurts so much.
Please come help!
What was that?
Pung-san, do you hear me?
Jeong-ju?
Oh, my!
I'm okay now.
Excuse me, may I get more water?
Right away, ma'am.
I thought I was going to die.
This is so frustrating. Is she an idiot?
You've caught a lot.
Here's the money for the top shells.
We usually buy from someone else,
but we bought yours for the Mayor's sake.
Thank you.
I can't refuse the Mayor.
Bye.
So...
Thank you for your help.
If you'll excuse me...
Wait.
-Yes?
-You're just taking off?
Yes, why?
If you're thankful, buy me noodles.
But...
There.
Enjoy.
Thank you.
If you wanted me to repay you so badly,
we could've gone to my restaurant.
I made 20,000 won, but these noodles
cost 7,000 won per person.
Do you really think I'm doing this
to make you repay me?
It's about exchanging feelings.
Feelings?
Mayor, I did hear
that you were a bachelor,
but I have no intention of
exchanging feelings with you.
Not us,
but the owner of the restaurant and you.
She was kind enough
to buy your top shells,
so you should buy her noodles,
compliment them...
These noodles are so good!
They're the best!
Then you can tell her that you're opening
a restaurant in Sorang,
and say you may ask her for advice later.
Building relationships
is the most important thing.
I guess so.
How do you like it?
Yes!
It's really good!
I hope you like it.
Thank you.
-Thank you.
-Sure.
I'll be sure to visit your restaurant.
Thank you.
Bye now.
This place is far from the Olle Trail too.
Many places succeeded
even if they're far from the Olle Trail.
So this place is super successful, right?
They're the best noodle place in the area.
They're not busy now,
but come lunchtime, this place is packed.
Really?
Geon-u's noodle soup
tastes so much better.
How could a lazy bum who doesn't work
make good food?
I bet he's just as thoughtless
with his cooking as he is with everything.
There are outsiders who start restaurants
for fun like him,
but they never last long.
They get bored and leave
after ruining the atmosphere of the town.
Geon-u's cooking is incredibly
delicious, no joke.
I see you've never even stopped by to try.
Even the mayor doesn't reach out to him.
No wonder he can't get along
with the villagers.
Mayor Hwang! It's been a while.
-How have you been?
-Well.
I guess you were on a blind date.
No, it's not a blind date.
It looks like it was.
What are you doing?
Tell him we weren't on a blind date.
We weren't on a blind date.
See? It wasn't a blind date.
Definitely not.
Is that right? Okay, then.
Have a nice day.
Hello.
Mayor Hwang.
Now that I think about it,
I'm a bit offended.
I don't want people to think
we were on a blind date either,
but you were so offended
and denied it so adamantly.
It made me feel awkward.
If people get the wrong idea here,
you have to marry me.
Do you want to marry me?
What?
-I do not.
-Then we're good.
Thanks for lunch.
Also...
I'll take your advice to heart
about how a mayor should behave.
I'll give Geon-u's cooking a chance.
You might not have a chance to anymore.
We got into a fight,
and I told him to quit.
That stupid abalone.
Abalone?
What about abalone?
This way.
Did you sell a lot?
Hello.
She wanted to buy abalone,
so I brought her here.
You sell abalone too?
Of course.
I sell sea cucumbers,
sea squirts, everything.
I'll give you a good price.
Here. This is abalone. Take your pick.
No, not those. You want to look
for the large, oval-shaped ones.
I see.
The Mayor knows his stuff.
-Let see.
-That too.
How do you do?
Hae-sil.
Keep looking.
Hae-sil, did you go diving again today?
You should rest on the weekends.
-There you go.
-This is quite the catch.
Aren't those abalones as well?
They're way bigger than these.
Of course. Those are wild.
The wild abalones that the haenyeos catch
are on a different level, and expensive.
They look expensive.
How much is all of that?
Why?
Do you want to buy some of those?
No.
There's no reason for me
to bring him wild abalone for that girl.
I hope these will make him feel better.
2015 SUNGHAN APPAREL WORKSHOP
I saw Geon-u's car in the lot.
Where is he?
What?
Jeong-ju's here looking for me?
She said she'd come back with you.
Tell her to forget it.
Stop being mad.
She was in a great deal of pain,
but went for you anyway.
What?
She's in pain?
She called earlier and sounded like
she was about to die.
She said she was better afterward,
but she went to look for you
in her condition,
so let it slide and come with her.
Fine. Bye.
-Look here.
-What is it?
Aren't you going to clean this?
If you leave it, the custodians
will take care of it.
That won't be for a while.
You spilled it.
You should clean it up a little.
What if someone slips
on the ice and falls?
Ice melts on its own, but fine.
Hey!
That bitch.
What is this?
Let's go another way.
Jeong-ju?
Chief Park?
We're here for the company workshop.
I see.
Jeong-ju, do you work here?
No.
I came straight from work.
Do you catch top shells?
How did you know?
Your picture was posted
up on Boo Mi-ra's blog.
I guess it really is true.
Yes, I catch top shells.
I used to buy them from the market,
but the customers loved the wild ones
so much more, so...
I see.
Have a great time while you're here.
We're going to Jusangjeolli Cliff.
We can drop you off on the way.
No, don't worry about me.
If you don't have a car, come with us.
You're carrying that too. Get on.
Jeong-ju!
Get in!
The boss shouldn't be carrying
things like this.
Give me that.
Who are these people?
They're from my old job.
My old manager and coworkers.
I see. How do you do?
Yes, hello.
I'm the chef at Jeong-ju's restaurant.
-Restaurant?
-You run a restaurant?
You?
You're the chef on Boo Mi-ra's blog!
Warm and Cozy?
Jeong-ju, that's your restaurant?
Well...
Yes. She's the owner.
Sweetie, I've always wanted to go there!
Can we stop by?
Of course you can.
Our boss' guests are always welcome.
Jeong-ju, you're incredible!
Then we'll be there tonight!
-Okay.
-We'll see you later tonight.
All right.
Get in.
-Go on, Jeong-ju.
-Bye.
Go on ahead.
See you tonight.
Get in, boss.
See you later, Jeong-ju!
Goodbye.
-Bye!
-Oh, my gosh!
Jeong-ju.
Yes?
I heard you were in pain.
In pain?
I heard that you called Pung-san,
complaining that you were going to die...
That you were in pain.
That was nothing. I'm fine now.
Are you really fine?
You made me worry.
Geon-u.
I think I was too harsh earlier.
So...
You're sorry?
I bought you some abalone.
How many?
Five.
Well.
I thought we're only serving noodles
from now on?
Are we going to feed your colleagues
only noodles?
Hey, come on now. You're the chef.
You've already tried
to act cool with your sports car,
so go all the way with your cooking.
Okay.
Boss, I'll make sure I make you look good
in front of them.
Just you wait.
Yes, Chef.
-Pung-san!
-Yes?
-Get the bell pepper salad ready.
-Got it.
Jeong-ju!
What?
Taste this for me. It's hot.
How is it?
Is it good?
-Come in.
-How are you?
Hello!
Come on inside.
I like the ambiance.
It's nice.
-I'm impressed.
-Look at the decor.
-You must have worked hard.
-It's so cool.
-Seriously.
-I know.
Okay, here's the food.
-What is that?
-Octopus salad.
Steamed halibut.
-Halibut?
-Fried vegetables.
Boiled pork with scallions.
They're so pretty.
This looks delicious.
Watch your back. Hot stuff coming.
The main course.
Abalone rice!
My taste buds are being spoiled tonight!
Enjoy!
Thank you.
My taste buds are being spoiled tonight.
Mr. Mayor.
Gosh. You couldn't sell everything?
I'm saving a few for my kids
coming from Seoul.
You must be happy.
Aren't those abalones as well?
They're way bigger than these.
Can I get a few of those?
Geon-u, I brought the empty plates...
I cook because it's fun
when people enjoy my food.
Geon-u.
Yes?
Are you having fun?
Mr. Mayor?
What's going on here?
You have quite a few customers today.
Are you here for dinner?
You told me to come.
Let me see just how good it is.
I even brought ingredients.
If you end up liking our food,
can we get a recommendation plaque
or something?
There's a process for that.
It's not my decision.
Jeong-ju, what are you doing?
Let's take a picture together!
-Jeong-ju!
-Hurry up!
Okay.
I guess you know them.
Yes. They're from my old company,
Sunghan Apparel.
Sunghan Apparel?
Mr. Mayor.
You can take the picture for us.
We don't have enough people.
Come on. Don't be so mean.
Coming!
I'm here.
Come on.
He'll take the picture for us.
Really?
Okay.
Just press this button. Thank you.
Thank you.
Jeong-ju, who is that man?
He seems very familiar.
Does he?
He's the mayor here.
I thought he seemed familiar too
when I first met him. You too?
I'm sure I've seen him somewhere before.
Right. Where was it?
Is he a celebrity?
Red Clay Man.
Sunghan Apparel's number one hit in 1998!
He's the very same model, Red Clay Man!
You're right!
-Red Clay Man.
-It is him.
You were Red Clay Man?
Red Clay Man.
When I was young, I once...
I once moved out to Seoul.
I did a gig as an underwear model
just once.
How did they recognize me
from just one picture?
The red clay underwear that you took
just one picture for
is our company's unrivaled best seller.
There's a picture this big
hanging in our showroom.
Since everyone saw your face every day,
they recognized you right away.
But the villagers don't know anything
about my modeling days when I was young.
Don't worry about that.
Your secret is safe with me.
Just this once.
Go in and eat.
I don't think I'll be able to eat
with everyone looking at me.
Maybe next time.
Secret.
Trust me, will you?
Go on.
Bye.
What was that about?
What were you discussing with the Mayor?
Nothing.
I warned you.
Don't get too close to that guy.
They'll associate you with him.
Right. Here, I heard
if you get involved at all,
you have to get married.
What? The Mayor said that?
How shameless. How could he tell you
to marry him?
Jeong-ju, don't talk to the Mayor
ever again, okay?
That's right. I left the seafood
that he brought for us over there.
Let's make snacks with that.
I will not. Not with that!
What's wrong with him?
If you look over there, you'll see...
That was a girl next to him.
That was really good.
Everything was delicious.
Jeong-ju, we had a great time today.
I'm glad.
Goodbye.
-Thanks.
-See you again!
-Thanks.
-Everything was great.
Goodbye.
I'll take them back to the resort
and go home.
Okay. Drive safely.
Thank you for today!
Don't mention it!
Come again!
Take care!
Bye!
Thanks for your hard work.
Let's go.
Geon-u.
Thanks for today.
Everyone had a great time.
That was nothing.
But we used up all the abalone
that I got for your friend.
It's all right. I don't even know
when she'll come.
That's right. We have the one
that the Mayor left behind.
Really?
You told me that you like sweet,
roasted abalone, right?
Yes.
You're such a kid.
Then why don't we have sweet, roasted
abalone tonight and knock down a few?
You want me to have the last abalone?
Yes. I'll grill it up nicely
and make it the tastiest ever.
Okay, then I'll clean up here.
Forget it.
You weren't well earlier. I'll clean up.
Hey, it's chilly out here.
You should dress warmly.
You'll catch a cold.
No, I'm comfortable now.
Go put on something warm.
I'll grill up the abalone in the meantime.
All right.
This or this?
I think I'm going too far.
This is better.
That looks good.
I thought we were in the mood for soju,
but it looks like we're having wine?
Really?
I'll get the shot glasses.
No, wine will be better.
I'll go and get a bottle.
I gave you this restaurant
after having champagne.
Don't expect me to give you
something again today.
Nonsense.
Should we light some candles?
I don't expect anything from him.
There, all finished.
Who's that?
Ji-won.
Geon-u.
I thought you'd be too busy to stop by.
You really came.
Of course. I should come.
How do you like the view?
It's really nice.
Who's that?
This is a wild abalone.
You made this yourself?
Of course, I did.
Try it, it's really good.
Do you see another chef here?
Really?
Of course.
Geon-u, give me a tour of the place.
Your friend must hate me.
I'm here to see this lady.
Take responsibility.
I wondered how you were doing.
Do you want to try diving?
I'm so worried about you.
So you think Jeong-ju is terminally ill?
We're not like that. Right, Geon-u?
We're just friends.
Even if she marries someone else,
I'll still like her.
I know that she's bad,
but I'm willing to be the fool.
What's it to you? Do you like me?
