Wok of Love (2018–…): Season 1, Episode 8 - Episode #1.8 - full transcript
Maeng-dal, that asshole.
He left.
Is this okay?
Is it?
It's warm, but...
This isn't right.
You can't do this to me.
It's warm, but...
Is this wrong?
HUNGRY FRYPAN
Okay.
What the hell?
Police?
This is Hungry Frypan. Hurry!
Where's the ledger?
Cockeye, you son of a bitch.
Where's the ledger?
Those bastards.
You gangster assholes!
Hey! Get lost!
Boss...
You son of a bitch!
Hey! Get off of him! Get off!
Who's he?
Hey. What's that?
- Boss.
- Let's go.
Boss.
- Boss.
- Not now.
Boss!
Hey, asshole.
You're no match for Mr .Yong.
You should be happy
he only took two things from you.
He could've taken five.
Are you Yong's peon?
Did Yong send you?
You should learn
more than just making jjajangmyeon.
You should learn how to be afraid.
People without fear need to learn
if they want to survive.
Shit. There's so many
delicious dishes out there to learn.
Why would I learn how to be afraid--
Also, if you are close to Chil-seong,
I'll kill you too.
Go to the countryside
and open a Chinese restaurant.
How dare you do this
in front of the hotel?
Shit.
That asshole.
Is this okay?
What are you doing here?
- Hospital...
- Shit.
What happened?
Get him to the hospital.
Pung.
Once the police come,
tell them it's no big deal.
If my boys
go back to prison,
things will get out of control.
Hospital. Take him to the hospital.
Please...
Wake up.
Shit.
Move.
- Move!
- Move.
Move!
Look! Up ahead!
Move!
- Car!
- Move!
There's a car in front!
Hey lady, are you okay? Are you hurt?
- Mister, are you okay?
- Shit.
What is all this?
You can't come in.
RESTRICTED AREA
Are you okay?
Well... I'm dizzy.
Is it bad?
I'm dizzy.
Do you want me to carry you?
- No, you can't.
- Get on my back.
No.
Get on my back. I'll take you to the ER.
Not this back.
What do you mean, no?
I'm not a man, I'm your guardian. Get on.
I'm dizzy.
Get on my back.
I'll carry you.
I'm carrying you.
Her blood test and x-ray results
will be out soon.
Her temperature is...
It's 34.6. She has extreme hypothermia.
It's much more dangerous
than a high fever.
What happens then?
If it drops to 34 degrees or below,
she may die,
so her temperature has to go up to
at least 35 in the next 2 hours.
Ma'am.
Please put hot packs by her underarms
and behind her neck.
Please massage her fingers, toes,
nose, and ears
continuously by hand.
- Her fingers. Okay.
- Body heat
will bring her temperature back quickly.
Holding her is best.
Hold her?
Here's a thermometer.
Hold her? Me?
Oh my gosh.
The kitchen.
Seol-ja.
Oh my gosh.
Didn't Sae-u leave early in the morning
and say she'd be practicing here?
I'll... I'll call her.
- Where is it?
- Oh no.
GEOK-JEONG
It's Pung!
Hello, Master.
Hi. If you came into work,
please come to the ER
at Taeyang Medical Center.
Hurry up. Please come help.
Mommy.
Ms. Sae-u is in the ER.
- ER?
- Come on.
Hurry.
When is she coming?
She needs to go up to 35.
I have to hold her.
Where's Dan Sae-u?
Go that way.
That way.
It's a dream.
A dream.
A nice dream.
Sae-u.
Sae-u.
Where did the guardian go?
What happened to her?
Thank goodness. It's over 35 degrees.
You can relax.
Sae-u.
Master Pung may come, so let's be careful.
I'll look for him.
Seol-ja. What's wrong with her?
Feel her hands.
They're ice cold.
He should've been a better guardian.
How can he leave her here all alone
after calling us for help?
Oh no. Her face is ice cold too.
He's so cold.
The people in the South
are colder than the North.
Sae-u.
Mom.
I'm sorry, Sae-u.
Mom's so very sorry.
I'm sorry your mom is just a burden.
Sae-u.
Madam, hush.
Ma'am. Just a minute.
Did her temperature go up?
You did well.
OPERATING ROOM
- How's Boss?
- He's in recovery.
He'll be out soon.
The surgery went well.
TAEYANG MEDICAL CENTER
So?
- What about the ledger?
- It's safe.
It's in your cloud storage.
We feel terrible we let you get stabbed.
We'll find Cockeye tomorrow
and make sure he pays for what he did
so let us be.
Wait.
- Boss.
- Boss.
We had fun
while Cockeye was away.
We need to stay on our toes now.
I know.
As soon as he got out,
he jumped on the hotel president's back.
He's with Yong Seung-ryong?
Don't waste your energy fighting Cockeye.
Let's score a big one this time.
A big one?
How big?
Seeing as he hangs out
with a thug like Cockeye,
he's dirty.
I smell something foul
in the hotel's source of funding.
See if there's corruption
related to their funds.
Are you saying
you want to take down the hotel?
But...
Boss.
We're all bloody too.
We'll get some coffee.
Let's go.
Are you okay?
Weren't you sleeping?
At this moment... No.
At every moment,
honesty is always the best.
I'll tell you everything.
That's why I came.
I'll do the talking, okay?
Yes. As you probably guessed,
I am having problems with my husband.
But that doesn't mean
I'm completely over him.
I had a dream.
We even kissed in the freezer,
so I should've dreamed about you,
but do you know whom I dreamed about?
Master Pung
was holding me tight in bed.
It felt really nice.
It was warm
and comfortable.
In my dream.
I must have lost my mind.
I think
something happened to my brain cells
when I got hit on the head
with the slab of pork.
I must like this guy, that guy, everyone.
I either went crazy
because things are too hard,
or I lost my mind because I'm lonely.
Please be patient with me.
Mister.
I mean... Please give me some more time.
I'm not hesitating
and I don't hate you
because you're gangster.
You're my Mr. Light.
But Pung...
hates you.
He was against you becoming our CEO.
When you were his ladle,
he was so nasty to you.
How...
I feel is more important.
I know I may be out of my mind,
but whether I like someone
is much more important
than whether that person likes me.
Isn't he married?
Well, I still have a husband
that I haven't removed completely
from my heart,
but you like me.
However,
what I care about
much more than the two of you
is whether I should be doing this
right now.
I just can't understand myself.
"You've lost your mind. Snap out of it!"
That's it.
I'm done talking.
I was so frustrated,
it was driving me crazy.
I feel like I can breathe now.
I'll go now.
- That hurts.
- What do you think you're doing?
- I don't like either of them.
- What do you mean?
My poor Sae--
What do I do?
I don't like either of the men.
The girl is too good for them.
There's nothing to be confused about.
There's nothing to stress about.
You look pretty enough,
but you're doing all sorts of garbage.
Granny. Don't you have gum today?
I'm not here to sell gum.
Plus, peddlers are banned here.
I'm here to visit someone.
- Who?
- My son.
You have a son?
Of course, I do.
He's the best son in the whole wide world
in my opinion.
What does that best son
in the whole wide world do,
that he lets his mom be a peddler
and live like a beggar?
Shut your trap, will you?
You should watch your mouth!
We have our situation. You know nothing.
I ought to sew up your mouth.
Get out of my face!
I had a dream.
We even kissed in the freezer,
so I should've dreamed about you,
but do you know whom I dreamed about?
Master Pung
was holding me tight in bed.
It felt...
really nice.
It was warm and comfortable.
In my dream.
I must have lost my mind.
Why did Pung
have to show up in her dream?
HUNGRY FRYPAN
It's a dream.
A dream.
A nice dream.
Freak.
TAEYANG MEDICAL CENTER
I need to see you get married
before I die.
You're back again.
My gosh.
How are there mosquitoes already?
There's a mosquito here? Where?
Hey.
You and I
first met at a hospital.
You almost died
in an explosion,
and I was a caretaker.
I'm so sick of it.
Yes.
It is sickening, isn't it?
Please leave. Go.
Why do you keep telling me to go?
You have no girls visiting you anyway.
Every time you were hospitalized,
I took care of you, didn't I?
Stop getting stabbed, Chil-seong.
At that rate, you'll have
so many stitches in your stomach
that it'll become a quilt.
I'm hot.
Are you waiting for someone? Is it a girl?
At least turn on the TV for me.
Chil-seong.
If you find yourself a girl,
you have to cherish her
and be good to her, okay?
Don't try to hide your feelings
and be mean to her
and try to protect your pride, okay?
Why would I be mean
to the girl that I like?
Even if I give her everything,
am good to her,
and adore her, it wouldn't be enough.
Some idiots do the opposite.
They don't have the courage
to say they like them,
but they like them so much on the inside.
That's not a man.
My point exactly. Right?
Right?
That's right.
You're a real man.
Water, fire.
I'm sorry.
I've missed you.
If you're sorry, get on your knees.
I was wrong.
How could I steal your money?
I'm a bastard.
You even changed your accent.
Why did you do it?
I used that money
for my boat ride to South Korea.
I came to South Korea
and I've succeeded.
I do well now.
I'll return that money.
It's been 20 years,
so will you give me 20 times the money?
I can give you 100 times.
Are you married?
Is that all you're going to give me?
And on top of that, you are hitting on me?
Not a chance!
Exactly 20 times. Hand it over!

DEBT AND SHADOW
HUNGRY WOK
This month's deficit,
not including your pay,
is over ten million won.
If we continue on with my incompetence,
we will all die.
Even if we all die,
please pay us on time.
Exactly.
We changed our name to "Hungry Wok."
We'll spread our name "Hungry Wok"
using special menu items
to people who don't know us,
and increase sales.
Do you have a special plan?
Gather round.
- I'll use shrimp.
- Shrimp.
I love shrimp.
Among the recipes that I created
is the Usal Shrimp set.
Usal Shrimp. I like that.
It uses all of the shrimp
from its head to its tail.
Hence, Usal Shrimp.
I haven't introduced it yet
into the world,
and no one knows this recipe.
First course is shrimp chips.
Dried whole baby shrimp
are fried into crispy chips.
The second course
is eggskin shrimp dim sum.
Pour scrambled egg into the wok
rather than flour batter,
and make the skin 0.2mm thick.
Add shrimp roe from Hong Kong
with shrimp and make a pouch
using the skin.
It'll taste like you're eating live shrimp
still swimming in the sea.
The third course
is Mandarin Crispy Shrimp Skin Wrap.
Strip the shrimp naked,
and press on the shell
with the bottom of a heated pot.
The shrimp skin will become crispy
and flat.
We will use freshly squeezed orange juice
to make a thick sauce.
Add the shrimp to the wok
and shake the wok 1, maybe 1.5 times.
The shrimp wearing
the Mandarin orange scent
will please the tongue for sure,
and also the nose.
Wow.
If this was served at a hotel,
they would charge 180,000 won.
But we'll charge a tenth.
We'll charge 18,000 won.
Are you mad?
How can you make money like that?
We'll sell it at breakeven cost,
not a loss.
That's unacceptable too.
We'll sell it at breakeven cost.
We just have to last this time.
We'll fail if we try to make a profit.
We won't get any customers.
This is where Hungry Wok
will place our bet this time.
You're all talk.
To make sure I'm not all talk,
you, Seol-ja,
Geok-jeong,
Ladle, Ms. Jin,
and Dong-sik, can help me.
Are all of you...
on my side?
If you're on my side,
there's nothing we can't do.
Shit.
Learn to knock, will you, lady?
What?
At the hospital--
- Keep the door open.
- Why?
Open it wide.
What is it?
I'm busy. Get with it.
Thank you for holding me yesterday.
Why are you doing this to me?
- Do you remember?
- Of course.
- Do you remember everything?
- Everything.
Really?
Tell me. Tell me everything you remember.
Thank you for carrying me yesterday.
What did you say the first time?
Thank you for carrying me yesterday.
It wasn't me.
I never carried you
or did anything to you.
It wasn't me.
I said I was dizzy,
so you followed me and let me lean on you,
and you told me to get on your back.
I remember all of that.
"Get on my back. Get on.
I'll carry you." A total of seven times.
It wasn't me!
It wasn't me!
Is that all?
Are you sure?
It wasn't eight times.
It was definitely seven times.
That's because you were dizzy
and out of it.
You were too dizzy to stand,
and someone carried you to the ER,
and you got confused.
It wasn't me.
Got that? It wasn't me.
- It was.
- Shit.
Hey lady.
Eat regularly, okay?
You're so skinny. You're so light.
I feel guilty making you do anything
in the kitchen.
Your ladle skills won't improve.
You're still a mess.
We had to close for several days.
Do you know how much money we lost?
You waste ingredients and you're weak.
Don't you feel guilty
toward the other workers?
- Move.
- Where are you going?
What's it to you?
Do I need your permission?
- No.
- Stop talking back to me.
- Then the ladle--
- Take care of it yourself.
Okay.
Let's just kill him.
Does he hate her that much?
He has a nasty temper, Madam.
His side? Give me a break.
He's right.
Geok-jeong.
Are you on my side?
No.
Yes, Master.
Come with me.
Pung changed the restaurant name
to Hungry Wok.
Hungry Wok.
- Pung did that?
- Yes.
To be more precise,
Sae-u, who works the ladle next to him,
said the restaurant name was tacky
and suggested it
since the sign fell anyway.
They practically fought
and eventually changed it.
They fought?
Why?
They fought only once.
Ladle is being verbally abused one-sidely
by Pung all day long.
Verbally abused.
Yes. Verbally abused.
Verbally abused.
I'm sorry for walking ahead.
It's okay.
I need my recipe journal
to make the Usal Shrimp properly.
I'm going to get my journal
that I left behind.
We made these fortune cookies ourselves.
- Try them.
- Thank you.
Thank you. Have a nice day.
Pung.
Hey, Pung. Who is this guy?
What are you doing?
Why are you going through that?
What are you doing?
Hey. You shouldn't do this!
Let me check something.
You shouldn't do this.
What is it?
I'll call security.
We're working right now!
How long will you barge in here
like it's your kitchen?
Bo-ra.
Do you know
where my recipe journal is?
I don't know.
Okay.
Did you put my recipe journal
away somewhere?
Hey. How would I know where that is?
Fine.
Do you know where my recipe journal is,
Master Wang?
Get out of my kitchen.
Whoever has my journal, give it back!
You all know that's my blood,
sweat, and tears.
There are only chefs in here, not thieves.
You, who barge into my kitchen
as you please,
thinking it's your kitchen, are the thief.
Get out at once!
You framed a junior chef with lies
to kick him out,
and are barely keeping your job.
But what? You're not a thief?
What was that?
Hey, asshole!
Stop interfering with our business
and get out!
Stop him...
Why you...
Hey. Let it go.
Gosh.
Master. This is no place
for decent human beings.
Let's go.
Are you okay?
- Are you okay?
- Yes, Master.
Doesn't it hurt?
No, Master.
Let's go. Let's go to a hospital.
I'm okay.
Pung is working with a monster.
Crazy jerks.
Are you really okay?
Master. I have no feeling in this foot.
- Still. It--
- Master.
It hurts, right?
It doesn't matter
what happens to this foot.
But we couldn't find your journal.
What do we do now?
I'm sure it's in the hotel.
We can make Usal Shrimp, right?
It doesn't matter.
Let's get to a hospital.
- I said I'm fine.
- Let's go.
Will that make you feel better?
- Gosh.
- Look at all that blood.
- How could you--
- It's fine.
Your transaction is being processed.
I'm sorry.
You're still just as pretty.
What the heck?
Ten million won?
This man has lost his mind.
He sent 100 times.
Can I send a small amount
by wire transfer?
Yes, ma'am. Even one won.
Please send ten won.
My account number is...
01012180824.
Seol-ja. It cost me ten million won
to get your cell phone number.
Chun-su?
I'll pick you up after work.
Where should I go?
Two scoops of water.
I'm sorry.
A third scoop of sugar.
A third scoop. A third.
Don't be cheap by putting in only a fifth.
Yes, Master. Since I put in a fifth,
how much more do I need to add
to make it a third--
I'm sorry.
How much more do I add? Hold on.
I'll add another fifth.
Two fifths isn't a third.
Then a sixth?
A seventh? Do I add a seventh?
Hey lady!
Sorry, but how much did you say
to put in initially?
Forget it. Add the soy sauce.
A tenth scoop of soy sauce.
A third scoop of vinegar. Put them in.
Don't push. Put it in. More.
Are you feeding birds? Put it in.
Stop.
Stop. Get off of me.
I'm hot. Wait...
HUNGRY WOK
CHINESE RESTAURANT
Okay.
Wok Maeng.
Master.
What are you doing by yourself?
I was practicing.
One can never practice too much.
Master.
What if we do a summer festival
using shrimp?
- Shrimp?
- Yes.
Pung's favorite ingredient
while he was here
was shrimp.
From its head to its tail.
From its roe to its organs.
From the meat to the shell.
Using shrimp in everything. I...
I created this three-course meal
made of shrimp.
I'll set it at a price of 180,000 won.
Let's do it first
before Pung beats us to it.
You can't go. Don't go.
I dated you because you were cool.
Why are you being so clingy?
Get lost!
Chun-su, don't do this to me.
Chun-su!
Chun-su!
All you have to do is feed me, Madam.
I won't date
or love.
I'll put a lock on my mouth
and not talk about how you are
or how this family is.
I'll keep my mouth shut and just work.
I'll be your dog.
I just need to send tuition money
to my younger siblings back home.
My dear lord.
You poor thing.
HUNGRY WOK
HUNGRY WOK
I'm not doing anything. Want some help?
Go home.
Shit.
You can
just put this in here--
Lady. Are you trying to scam the customer?
Why would you reattach the head
to the body?
How would you reattach it? With what?
With glue?
- Who prepped this shrimp?
- Me.
What's this?
Their necks were so weak--
Okay.
I'm sorry, Master.
When you prep them,
if you pull the organs too hard,
the head becomes loose like this.
So no matter how carefully you spread it,
the head
will fall off.
This poor shrimp
that wasn't prepped properly
will have its body dumped.
Yes, Master.
One shrimp was prepped properly.
What are you doing?
I want to record it so that I can watch it
over and over to practice.
Film it properly.
Yes, Master.
- I won't do it twice.
- Yes, Master.
The head survived.
This is how it makes it
to the table.
I'll prep the shrimp well
so the head doesn't fall off.
The head is gone.
All gone.
No, it isn't.
The shrimp head is still there.
The shrimp head is still there,
but you chopped them all off.
So this is how you get the shrimp head
to stay on.
Hey lady.
- Why is your field of view so small?
- What?
Can't you look at the dish
and the process bigger?
Is that so hard?
I saw it all.
I didn't miss a thing.
You didn't miss a thing?
You missed the most important thing.
The shrimp head is there,
but you chopped my head off.
Don't you have
any manners, respect,
or things like that toward your master?
You don't want your master's face
in there for even a second?
- Oh--
- Don't call me "Master" anymore.
Am I your master in word only?
What does "master" mean to you?
Your master is worth less
than this shrimp head, right?
I was focusing on the cooking.
So I didn't even think
about things like that.
Don't give me that.
You didn't care.
You didn't see me at all
for even a second.
Master.
What?
I guess you're not taking that ring off.
You keep it on when you're washing
and cooking too.
Your wedding ring is pretty.
Of all the... Go home!
Stop loitering here.
What's with him?
HUNGRY WOK
Some idiots do the opposite.
They don't have the courage
to say they like them,
but they like them so much on the inside.
HUNGRY WOK
CHINESE RESTAURANT
I'll go home now.
Actually...
Where did it go?
Oh my gosh.
What...
What are my shoes doing there?
Did you do that?
You hated me and were annoyed with me
because I'm always yelling at you,
so you chucked my shoes up there?
That's not it. Why are they up there?
Oh no.
Oh no.
Just a minute.
HUNGRY WOK
What the heck?
Look at her.
Get down.
Hold it.
I stepped on your feet so much.
That's why I wanted to wash them for you.
I stepped on them
more than 100 times a day.
You got them.
Give them to me.
Give me.
They came out clean.
Aren't you leaving?
Give me a can of beer.
I'll leave after that.
What, is it a waste to give to me?
There's no breeze anymore.
It's really summer now.
There are
over 100 recipes written in it.
"It"?
My journal.
With the Usal Shrimp too...
Whether it's two pinches of starch powder
or two and a half pinches.
Whether the oil in the wok
should be spun once a second,
nine, or ten times
when making the skin.
Whether I lifted the wok off the flame
when I scooped the egg,
and if so, for how long and how high.
How many degrees
I cooled the base of the wok.
My countless tries...
were all written there.
My wrist is like this,
and I don't have my journal.
I should've grabbed it first
when I got kicked out.
It's all my fault.
It's all my fault.
It was like a part of me
that has everything
from the past 10 years.
I broke up with my wife.
I'm not married.
Just saying.
What?
Just saying.
Just so you know.
- Why are you telling me--
- I wanted to tell you.
HUNGRY WOK
This is my favorite song.
We're close enough to do this, right?
This is okay to do...
as the wok and the ladle.
Come here and eat with me.
I was excited by the money, not the man.
I don't want empty love ever again.
I can't trust you.
I can't trust love.
Aren't you hungry?
I am.
Let's have some noodles too.
I'll make you noodles.
HUNGRY WOK
Subtitle translation by Jeong Lee
He left.
Is this okay?
Is it?
It's warm, but...
This isn't right.
You can't do this to me.
It's warm, but...
Is this wrong?
HUNGRY FRYPAN
Okay.
What the hell?
Police?
This is Hungry Frypan. Hurry!
Where's the ledger?
Cockeye, you son of a bitch.
Where's the ledger?
Those bastards.
You gangster assholes!
Hey! Get lost!
Boss...
You son of a bitch!
Hey! Get off of him! Get off!
Who's he?
Hey. What's that?
- Boss.
- Let's go.
Boss.
- Boss.
- Not now.
Boss!
Hey, asshole.
You're no match for Mr .Yong.
You should be happy
he only took two things from you.
He could've taken five.
Are you Yong's peon?
Did Yong send you?
You should learn
more than just making jjajangmyeon.
You should learn how to be afraid.
People without fear need to learn
if they want to survive.
Shit. There's so many
delicious dishes out there to learn.
Why would I learn how to be afraid--
Also, if you are close to Chil-seong,
I'll kill you too.
Go to the countryside
and open a Chinese restaurant.
How dare you do this
in front of the hotel?
Shit.
That asshole.
Is this okay?
What are you doing here?
- Hospital...
- Shit.
What happened?
Get him to the hospital.
Pung.
Once the police come,
tell them it's no big deal.
If my boys
go back to prison,
things will get out of control.
Hospital. Take him to the hospital.
Please...
Wake up.
Shit.
Move.
- Move!
- Move.
Move!
Look! Up ahead!
Move!
- Car!
- Move!
There's a car in front!
Hey lady, are you okay? Are you hurt?
- Mister, are you okay?
- Shit.
What is all this?
You can't come in.
RESTRICTED AREA
Are you okay?
Well... I'm dizzy.
Is it bad?
I'm dizzy.
Do you want me to carry you?
- No, you can't.
- Get on my back.
No.
Get on my back. I'll take you to the ER.
Not this back.
What do you mean, no?
I'm not a man, I'm your guardian. Get on.
I'm dizzy.
Get on my back.
I'll carry you.
I'm carrying you.
Her blood test and x-ray results
will be out soon.
Her temperature is...
It's 34.6. She has extreme hypothermia.
It's much more dangerous
than a high fever.
What happens then?
If it drops to 34 degrees or below,
she may die,
so her temperature has to go up to
at least 35 in the next 2 hours.
Ma'am.
Please put hot packs by her underarms
and behind her neck.
Please massage her fingers, toes,
nose, and ears
continuously by hand.
- Her fingers. Okay.
- Body heat
will bring her temperature back quickly.
Holding her is best.
Hold her?
Here's a thermometer.
Hold her? Me?
Oh my gosh.
The kitchen.
Seol-ja.
Oh my gosh.
Didn't Sae-u leave early in the morning
and say she'd be practicing here?
I'll... I'll call her.
- Where is it?
- Oh no.
GEOK-JEONG
It's Pung!
Hello, Master.
Hi. If you came into work,
please come to the ER
at Taeyang Medical Center.
Hurry up. Please come help.
Mommy.
Ms. Sae-u is in the ER.
- ER?
- Come on.
Hurry.
When is she coming?
She needs to go up to 35.
I have to hold her.
Where's Dan Sae-u?
Go that way.
That way.
It's a dream.
A dream.
A nice dream.
Sae-u.
Sae-u.
Where did the guardian go?
What happened to her?
Thank goodness. It's over 35 degrees.
You can relax.
Sae-u.
Master Pung may come, so let's be careful.
I'll look for him.
Seol-ja. What's wrong with her?
Feel her hands.
They're ice cold.
He should've been a better guardian.
How can he leave her here all alone
after calling us for help?
Oh no. Her face is ice cold too.
He's so cold.
The people in the South
are colder than the North.
Sae-u.
Mom.
I'm sorry, Sae-u.
Mom's so very sorry.
I'm sorry your mom is just a burden.
Sae-u.
Madam, hush.
Ma'am. Just a minute.
Did her temperature go up?
You did well.

- He's in recovery.
He'll be out soon.
The surgery went well.
TAEYANG MEDICAL CENTER
So?
- What about the ledger?
- It's safe.
It's in your cloud storage.
We feel terrible we let you get stabbed.
We'll find Cockeye tomorrow
and make sure he pays for what he did
so let us be.
Wait.
- Boss.
- Boss.
We had fun
while Cockeye was away.
We need to stay on our toes now.
I know.
As soon as he got out,
he jumped on the hotel president's back.
He's with Yong Seung-ryong?
Don't waste your energy fighting Cockeye.
Let's score a big one this time.
A big one?
How big?
Seeing as he hangs out
with a thug like Cockeye,
he's dirty.
I smell something foul
in the hotel's source of funding.
See if there's corruption
related to their funds.
Are you saying
you want to take down the hotel?
But...
Boss.
We're all bloody too.
We'll get some coffee.
Let's go.
Are you okay?
Weren't you sleeping?
At this moment... No.
At every moment,
honesty is always the best.
I'll tell you everything.
That's why I came.
I'll do the talking, okay?
Yes. As you probably guessed,
I am having problems with my husband.
But that doesn't mean
I'm completely over him.
I had a dream.
We even kissed in the freezer,
so I should've dreamed about you,
but do you know whom I dreamed about?
Master Pung
was holding me tight in bed.
It felt really nice.
It was warm
and comfortable.
In my dream.
I must have lost my mind.
I think
something happened to my brain cells
when I got hit on the head
with the slab of pork.
I must like this guy, that guy, everyone.
I either went crazy
because things are too hard,
or I lost my mind because I'm lonely.
Please be patient with me.
Mister.
I mean... Please give me some more time.
I'm not hesitating
and I don't hate you
because you're gangster.
You're my Mr. Light.
But Pung...
hates you.
He was against you becoming our CEO.
When you were his ladle,
he was so nasty to you.
How...
I feel is more important.
I know I may be out of my mind,
but whether I like someone
is much more important
than whether that person likes me.
Isn't he married?
Well, I still have a husband
that I haven't removed completely
from my heart,
but you like me.
However,
what I care about
much more than the two of you
is whether I should be doing this
right now.
I just can't understand myself.
"You've lost your mind. Snap out of it!"
That's it.
I'm done talking.
I was so frustrated,
it was driving me crazy.
I feel like I can breathe now.
I'll go now.
- That hurts.
- What do you think you're doing?
- I don't like either of them.
- What do you mean?
My poor Sae--
What do I do?
I don't like either of the men.
The girl is too good for them.
There's nothing to be confused about.
There's nothing to stress about.
You look pretty enough,
but you're doing all sorts of garbage.
Granny. Don't you have gum today?
I'm not here to sell gum.
Plus, peddlers are banned here.
I'm here to visit someone.
- Who?
- My son.
You have a son?
Of course, I do.
He's the best son in the whole wide world
in my opinion.
What does that best son
in the whole wide world do,
that he lets his mom be a peddler
and live like a beggar?
Shut your trap, will you?
You should watch your mouth!
We have our situation. You know nothing.
I ought to sew up your mouth.
Get out of my face!
I had a dream.
We even kissed in the freezer,
so I should've dreamed about you,
but do you know whom I dreamed about?
Master Pung
was holding me tight in bed.
It felt...
really nice.
It was warm and comfortable.
In my dream.
I must have lost my mind.
Why did Pung
have to show up in her dream?

I need to see you get married
before I die.
You're back again.
My gosh.
How are there mosquitoes already?
There's a mosquito here? Where?
Hey.
You and I
first met at a hospital.
You almost died
in an explosion,
and I was a caretaker.
I'm so sick of it.
Yes.
It is sickening, isn't it?
Please leave. Go.
Why do you keep telling me to go?
You have no girls visiting you anyway.
Every time you were hospitalized,
I took care of you, didn't I?
Stop getting stabbed, Chil-seong.
At that rate, you'll have
so many stitches in your stomach
that it'll become a quilt.
I'm hot.
Are you waiting for someone? Is it a girl?
At least turn on the TV for me.
Chil-seong.
If you find yourself a girl,
you have to cherish her
and be good to her, okay?
Don't try to hide your feelings
and be mean to her
and try to protect your pride, okay?
Why would I be mean
to the girl that I like?
Even if I give her everything,
am good to her,
and adore her, it wouldn't be enough.
Some idiots do the opposite.
They don't have the courage
to say they like them,
but they like them so much on the inside.
That's not a man.
My point exactly. Right?
Right?
That's right.
You're a real man.
Water, fire.
I'm sorry.
I've missed you.
If you're sorry, get on your knees.
I was wrong.
How could I steal your money?
I'm a bastard.
You even changed your accent.
Why did you do it?
I used that money
for my boat ride to South Korea.
I came to South Korea
and I've succeeded.
I do well now.
I'll return that money.
It's been 20 years,
so will you give me 20 times the money?
I can give you 100 times.
Are you married?
Is that all you're going to give me?
And on top of that, you are hitting on me?
Not a chance!
Exactly 20 times. Hand it over!

HUNGRY WOK
This month's deficit,
not including your pay,
is over ten million won.
If we continue on with my incompetence,
we will all die.
Even if we all die,
please pay us on time.
Exactly.
We changed our name to "Hungry Wok."
We'll spread our name "Hungry Wok"
using special menu items
to people who don't know us,
and increase sales.
Do you have a special plan?
Gather round.
- I'll use shrimp.
- Shrimp.
I love shrimp.
Among the recipes that I created
is the Usal Shrimp set.
Usal Shrimp. I like that.
It uses all of the shrimp
from its head to its tail.
Hence, Usal Shrimp.
I haven't introduced it yet
into the world,
and no one knows this recipe.
First course is shrimp chips.
Dried whole baby shrimp
are fried into crispy chips.
The second course
is eggskin shrimp dim sum.
Pour scrambled egg into the wok
rather than flour batter,
and make the skin 0.2mm thick.
Add shrimp roe from Hong Kong
with shrimp and make a pouch
using the skin.
It'll taste like you're eating live shrimp
still swimming in the sea.
The third course
is Mandarin Crispy Shrimp Skin Wrap.
Strip the shrimp naked,
and press on the shell
with the bottom of a heated pot.
The shrimp skin will become crispy
and flat.
We will use freshly squeezed orange juice
to make a thick sauce.
Add the shrimp to the wok
and shake the wok 1, maybe 1.5 times.
The shrimp wearing
the Mandarin orange scent
will please the tongue for sure,
and also the nose.
Wow.
If this was served at a hotel,
they would charge 180,000 won.
But we'll charge a tenth.
We'll charge 18,000 won.
Are you mad?
How can you make money like that?
We'll sell it at breakeven cost,
not a loss.
That's unacceptable too.
We'll sell it at breakeven cost.
We just have to last this time.
We'll fail if we try to make a profit.
We won't get any customers.
This is where Hungry Wok
will place our bet this time.
You're all talk.
To make sure I'm not all talk,
you, Seol-ja,
Geok-jeong,
Ladle, Ms. Jin,
and Dong-sik, can help me.
Are all of you...
on my side?
If you're on my side,
there's nothing we can't do.
Shit.
Learn to knock, will you, lady?
What?
At the hospital--
- Keep the door open.
- Why?
Open it wide.
What is it?
I'm busy. Get with it.
Thank you for holding me yesterday.
Why are you doing this to me?
- Do you remember?
- Of course.
- Do you remember everything?
- Everything.
Really?
Tell me. Tell me everything you remember.
Thank you for carrying me yesterday.
What did you say the first time?
Thank you for carrying me yesterday.
It wasn't me.
I never carried you
or did anything to you.
It wasn't me.
I said I was dizzy,
so you followed me and let me lean on you,
and you told me to get on your back.
I remember all of that.
"Get on my back. Get on.
I'll carry you." A total of seven times.
It wasn't me!
It wasn't me!
Is that all?
Are you sure?
It wasn't eight times.
It was definitely seven times.
That's because you were dizzy
and out of it.
You were too dizzy to stand,
and someone carried you to the ER,
and you got confused.
It wasn't me.
Got that? It wasn't me.
- It was.
- Shit.
Hey lady.
Eat regularly, okay?
You're so skinny. You're so light.
I feel guilty making you do anything
in the kitchen.
Your ladle skills won't improve.
You're still a mess.
We had to close for several days.
Do you know how much money we lost?
You waste ingredients and you're weak.
Don't you feel guilty
toward the other workers?
- Move.
- Where are you going?
What's it to you?
Do I need your permission?
- No.
- Stop talking back to me.
- Then the ladle--
- Take care of it yourself.
Okay.
Let's just kill him.
Does he hate her that much?
He has a nasty temper, Madam.
His side? Give me a break.
He's right.
Geok-jeong.
Are you on my side?
No.
Yes, Master.
Come with me.
Pung changed the restaurant name
to Hungry Wok.
Hungry Wok.
- Pung did that?
- Yes.
To be more precise,
Sae-u, who works the ladle next to him,
said the restaurant name was tacky
and suggested it
since the sign fell anyway.
They practically fought
and eventually changed it.
They fought?
Why?
They fought only once.
Ladle is being verbally abused one-sidely
by Pung all day long.
Verbally abused.
Yes. Verbally abused.
Verbally abused.
I'm sorry for walking ahead.
It's okay.
I need my recipe journal
to make the Usal Shrimp properly.
I'm going to get my journal
that I left behind.
We made these fortune cookies ourselves.
- Try them.
- Thank you.
Thank you. Have a nice day.
Pung.
Hey, Pung. Who is this guy?
What are you doing?
Why are you going through that?
What are you doing?
Hey. You shouldn't do this!
Let me check something.
You shouldn't do this.
What is it?
I'll call security.
We're working right now!
How long will you barge in here
like it's your kitchen?
Bo-ra.
Do you know
where my recipe journal is?
I don't know.
Okay.
Did you put my recipe journal
away somewhere?
Hey. How would I know where that is?
Fine.
Do you know where my recipe journal is,
Master Wang?
Get out of my kitchen.
Whoever has my journal, give it back!
You all know that's my blood,
sweat, and tears.
There are only chefs in here, not thieves.
You, who barge into my kitchen
as you please,
thinking it's your kitchen, are the thief.
Get out at once!
You framed a junior chef with lies
to kick him out,
and are barely keeping your job.
But what? You're not a thief?
What was that?
Hey, asshole!
Stop interfering with our business
and get out!
Stop him...
Why you...
Hey. Let it go.
Gosh.
Master. This is no place
for decent human beings.
Let's go.
Are you okay?
- Are you okay?
- Yes, Master.
Doesn't it hurt?
No, Master.
Let's go. Let's go to a hospital.
I'm okay.
Pung is working with a monster.
Crazy jerks.
Are you really okay?
Master. I have no feeling in this foot.
- Still. It--
- Master.
It hurts, right?
It doesn't matter
what happens to this foot.
But we couldn't find your journal.
What do we do now?
I'm sure it's in the hotel.
We can make Usal Shrimp, right?
It doesn't matter.
Let's get to a hospital.
- I said I'm fine.
- Let's go.
Will that make you feel better?
- Gosh.
- Look at all that blood.
- How could you--
- It's fine.
Your transaction is being processed.
I'm sorry.
You're still just as pretty.
What the heck?
Ten million won?
This man has lost his mind.
He sent 100 times.
Can I send a small amount
by wire transfer?
Yes, ma'am. Even one won.
Please send ten won.
My account number is...
01012180824.
Seol-ja. It cost me ten million won
to get your cell phone number.
Chun-su?
I'll pick you up after work.
Where should I go?
Two scoops of water.
I'm sorry.
A third scoop of sugar.
A third scoop. A third.
Don't be cheap by putting in only a fifth.
Yes, Master. Since I put in a fifth,
how much more do I need to add
to make it a third--
I'm sorry.
How much more do I add? Hold on.
I'll add another fifth.
Two fifths isn't a third.
Then a sixth?
A seventh? Do I add a seventh?
Hey lady!
Sorry, but how much did you say
to put in initially?
Forget it. Add the soy sauce.
A tenth scoop of soy sauce.
A third scoop of vinegar. Put them in.
Don't push. Put it in. More.
Are you feeding birds? Put it in.

Pung's favorite ingredient
while he was here
was shrimp.
From its head to its tail.
From its roe to its organs.
From the meat to the shell.
Using shrimp in everything. I...
I created this three-course meal
made of shrimp.
I'll set it at a price of 180,000 won.
Let's do it first

Why are you being so clingy?
Get lost!
Chun-su, don't do this to me.

All you have to do is feed me, Madam.
I won't date

I'll put a lock on my mouth

Lady. Are you trying to scam the customer?
Why would you reattach the head
to the body?
How would you reattach it? With what?
With glue?
- Who prepped this shrimp?
- Me.
What's this?
Their necks were so weak--
Okay.
I'm sorry, Master.
When you prep them,
if you pull the organs too hard,
the head becomes loose like this.
So no matter how carefully you spread it,
the head
will fall off.
This poor shrimp
that wasn't prepped properly
will have its body dumped.
Yes, Master.
One shrimp was prepped properly.
What are you doing?
I want to record it so that I can watch it
over and over to practice.
Film it properly.
Yes, Master.
- I won't do it twice.
- Yes, Master.
The head survived.
This is how it makes it
to the table.
I'll prep the shrimp well
so the head doesn't fall off.
The head is gone.
All gone.
No, it isn't.
The shrimp head is still there.
The shrimp head is still there,
but you chopped them all off.
So this is how you get the shrimp head
to stay on.
Hey lady.
- Why is your field of view so small?
- What?
Can't you look at the dish
and the process bigger?
Is that so hard?
I saw it all.
I didn't miss a thing.
You didn't miss a thing?
You missed the most important thing.
The shrimp head is there,
but you chopped my head off.
Don't you have
any manners, respect,
or things like that toward your master?
You don't want your master's face
in there for even a second?
- Oh--
- Don't call me "Master" anymore.
Am I your master in word only?
What does "master" mean to you?
Your master is worth less
than this shrimp head, right?
I was focusing on the cooking.
So I didn't even think
about things like that.
Don't give me that.
You didn't care.
You didn't see me at all

Whether it's two pinches of starch powder

Whether the oil in the wok

Whether I lifted the wok off the flame
