I had my first kiss when I was 15 with the girl who lived next door...
while we were having sweet and sour pork together.
You had your first kiss quite late.
How was it?
Isn't it obvious?
It was really sweet, hot,
and delicious. I mean, the sweet and sour pork.
-Shouldn't you be going home? -Gosh, don't change the subject.
So did you sleep with the girl next door?
You slept with her, didn't you?
Go home.
Are you going somewhere?
I'm going to see my sweet and sour pork.
-What? -The fiery taste is the same as...
Burnt taste.
I can't believe she said that.
Hey, the fiery taste is the same as...
Burnt taste!
The fiery taste is the same as...
Gosh, who was that?
Me.
I see.
Ready. Go.
Gosh, I'm so hungry.
I'd rather just lose. Let's stop.
I'm too hungry to keep going. Bye.

Hey, Poong. Once you become the number one chef in Korea,
what's going to happen to Master Wang?
Master Wang's contract is going to end soon.
So I'm sure he'll go back to China and get some rest.
Master Wang's yearly pay was 200,000 dollars.
He was even given a house and a car.
To be honest, you're the reason why our restaurant...
was able to receive a Michelin star.
Ever since the restaurant became a Michelin-starred restaurant,
the banquet hall mostly makes reservations for Chinese food.
On top of that, all the rooms are full thanks to the event.
All the board members think it's all thanks to you...
that our hotel became a six star hotel.
No one's thanking me even when I'm the CEO.
It's making me feel jealous.
So while we're on the subject...
Actually, HR told me not to tell you anything beforehand.
Just wait a few more days.
(Operating Room)
I heard you were in a surgery.
We just need to wrap up now.
I came out early because I didn't want to be late for my rounds.
You still smell of disinfectant.
I like this smell.
It's something I can't smell on any other woman.
I'm getting married soon.
How soon?
In a week.
Can I take this out, Doctor Seok?
Not yet.
I'm getting discharged tomorrow anyway.
One week is enough...
to make you mine.
-Good work. -Good work.
The surgery went well.
-Thank you. -No problem.
Thank you.
That was so intense.
Gosh, I'm so hungry.
-My gosh. -Seriously?
-I'm so hungry. -Are we having Chinese food again?
My gosh, I'm so sick of Chinese food.
I'm already getting sick just by looking at it.
Aren't you sick of it as well, Doctor Oh?
No other restaurant was open at this hour.
My gosh.
We're always eating greasy Chinese food.
I should be the one getting liposuction.
Look at my stomach.
Forget it. Gosh, I can already taste the grease in my mouth.
Then eat some pickled radish.
Hey, where's the red pepper powder?
You forgot again, didn't you?
Doctor Seok, don't forget to check up on Mr. Yong...
who's on the 20th floor.
If you forget one more time, I'll send you to another department.
What? Please don't do that.
I went to medical school so that I could become a plastic surgeon.
I took all those private lessons just to get into medical school.
And my mom and grandmother had to work...
as housekeepers so that they could pay for my private lessons.
-Let's eat. -Enjoy your meal.
-Enjoy your meal.
(Hospital Staff)
Is she done?
Why didn't you call me?
I'm sorry I made you wait.
I think...
I'm going to be promoted.
Master Wang will return to China.
Then I can help you open a private practice.
I'll work hard for a few years and help you open one.
You aren't eating or getting enough sleep at the hospital.
I can't let you keep doing that.
You should be able to take a break and go travel.
Congratulations.
Get some sleep. You must be sleepy.
-Yes. -I'll wake you up later.
It's almost done.
Trims the sides a bit more, please.
-This much? -More.
This much?
More, please.
Then you'll look like a thug.
-Do you know me? -If you cut the sides too short,
you'll look like a gangster.
Can't I?
That's ridiculous.
Of course you can't.
-It's my hair. -Exactly.
It is, isn't it?
Men are all about hair.
Please cut my hair like a gangster.
-He'll be here soon. -Okay.
I'll do the rehearsal makeup...
more naturally than the actual wedding makeup.
Okay.
-Where did he go? -I'll be right back, stay here.
It's the same flower.
It's wilting already.
It's okay.
Is there a traffic jam?
Wait. You've got stubble. Didn't you shave today?
Since you're waiting anyway,
-should I ask for a razor? -It's okay.
My groom is late because...
Actually our wedding is in a month.
But he wanted to register our marriage first.
Did you register already?
We decided that...
I'd walk in first, and he'd walk in after.
He said he prepared a performance for me.
What do you think it is?
We'll have 3 or 4 kids.
He's so eager.
He wants to deliver the babies since he's an obstetrician.
He said it'd be perfect if the first person our baby saw...
was its dad.
What do you think as a man?
I'm a bit embarrassed.
Are you angry because the bride is late?
There.
Actually...
It's okay.
You don't have to say anything.
It's okay that you're late.
You don't have to say sorry.
Because you're my girl.
Because I love you.
Honey.
Excuse me. My groom is here too.
I registered our marriage. We're husband and wife.
That's great.
We're husband and wife.
I won't fall.
All right. Let's go.
Someone offered to buy our building, boss.
Hey.
How many couples get a divorce these days?
Is it 7 out of 10 or 6 out of 10?
Pardon?
At least half of them split up, don't they?
Let's just go.
Should we register our marriage first? Tomorrow?
I'll bring a razor to the wedding.
I'll shave right before walking in.
What about the order of entrance?
I should prepare a performance...
so our guests wouldn't be bored.
-Are you listening? -Yes.
Let's have kids soon.
I'll raise them.
Since you have a more prominent profession,
I'll take paternity leave.
I'll be upset if you don't take my job seriously though.
A boy like me, and a girl like you.
Let's have two kids, so they wouldn't be lonely.
The groom we saw back there was an obstetrician.
Should we go to him to have our babies?
You're hungry, aren't you?
I made something you like. Let's eat it later.
I don't know about anything else,
I'll make sure you have delicious food all your life.
Next, the bride and the groom will...
exchange their wedding rings.
Kiss.
-Kiss. -Kiss.
(One month later)
(Buster)
(Dan Sae Woo, six years old)
(Dan Sae Woo, 10 years old)
(Dan Sae Woo, 17 years old)
Buster, how are you?
Gosh.
It's been a week. I missed you.
There you go.
I told you I'd do it for you.
The water will splash on you. Step back.
Doesn't it feel great?
You're so beautiful.
Look, Buster. It's our wedding invitation.
-You can come too if you want. -Hey.
I'm going to be super pretty that day.
Instead of the hay and carrots,
you can get some buffet food.
If we consider your race records from when you were young,
you could get to the wedding hall in...
(Congratulations on your wedding.)
It would take you about seven hours.
What are you saying?
You're sick of being fenced in here, right?
I'm sure you want to run free out in the world.
You would get in trouble with the borough office.
-Let's go. -Let's go.
Good job.
I asked at the borough office since you seemed curious.
You mentioned it before when you went to the hair salon.
These days, about 5 couples get a divorce out of 100.
It's not 5 out of 10?
Isn't it a good thing?
Right. Here, honey.
Use this for dinner. It's 300,000 dollars.
Thank you, Dad.
It's your wedding gift, so use it all.
I'll eat until my stomach pops.
-Bye, Dad. -Have fun.
-There. -What?
What?
What is that?
Here we go.
Yes, it's going.
What is this? They acted like they weren't there with lights on?
How dare they run away?
They're pulling tricks, so they won't have to pay us.
Hey, it's actually over on this side.
They're on the sixth floor.
You're going the wrong way.
I feel better now. I was so thirsty earlier.
I Man, stay still. You're distracting me.
Why not see the top of the hotel while we're at it?
Let's see how great they are.
What if someone reports you and the police comes?
I won't have anything to do with it.
-Don't tell me I didn't warn you. -Hey,
-the boss is inside. -Gosh.
(Hungry Frying Pan)
Buy a stick of gum.
Just don't give me anything at all.
Why would you give me a fake bill? You're a bully.
I heard this Chinese place is full of gangsters and prostitutes.
It's a nest for criminals.
Do you want to cheat an old woman who will die soon?
Don't you have parents, you jerk?
Come back tomorrow.
Nonsense.
I'll be dead tomorrow.
Yes, right there.
Why are they so high up?
Seriously.
I know you guys are curious too.
All right, we're almost there. Here we go.
-More, more. -Stop.
We're here. It's the 21st floor.
The best Chinese food restaurant in Korea.
It has two stars in the Michelin Guide.
What is this? I don't see anything different with their restaurant.
There's not a single fly. Are they out of business?
It wasn't just our restaurant that was going slow.
Life is fair.
It's not our food that tastes bad.
People think Chinese food is too greasy these days.
That's true.
I would've been upset if our customers went there.
-I'd be mad. -That's for sure.
How boring.
I thought you were watching something racy.
What?
-Spring is here. -Who is that?
See? Hotel chefs are not much better than us.
They're just as pathetic.
Too bad. I wanted to see their faces.
Why isn't it coming back down?
Throw it out. Just throw it out.
-What about the bird's nest? -Here.
They must really be rich like the rumour says.
I never thought we'd run low on bird's nests.
Bring up the fire!
-I got it. -It's almost ready!
-Hey, Cutting Part. -Yes, chef!
The onions weren't cut evenly.
Some are uncooked, while some are over cooked.
Didn't I tell you Chinese food is all about the Cutting Part?
-Start over! -Yes, chef!
Cut faster!
-Cut faster! -Cut faster!
I'm going to kick out anyone who cuts the onions slowly.
We're piled with orders. Don't you dare take your time!
-Yes, chef! -Yes, chef!
Repeat what I told you. Chinese food is all about...
-The Cutting Part! -The Cutting Part!
Chinese food is all about...
-The Cutting Part! -The fiery taste.
Chinese food is all about...
-The Cutting Part! -The fiery taste.
(The fiery taste)
-Good to go. -Good to go!
You burned everything.
Cook it again.
Good to go.
-Good to go! -Good to go!
-Good to go. -Good to go!
It's the last dish.
Go.
-It's good to go. -Thank you, chef.
Good to go!
-Good to go! -Good to go!
It's 299,989 dollars in total.
Okay.
Here.
Can I have the change?
Never mind.
Thanks to your donation, we'll be able to donate...
all of our charity money without having to pay for the dinner.
It's my dad's wish to donate as much as he can. I'll be off now.
-Thank you. -Aren't you going to eat?
I'm on a diet.
Oh, right. Tomorrow's your wedding.
I heard you're not going to receive any congratulatory money.
I envy you.
I'll go now.
I'm so hungry.
Hey, I just heard that one of the charity members...
paid for everyone's dinner that cost almost 300,000 dollars.
-That person must be crazy. -What a lunatic.
-See you, Poong. -Okay.
They're right. The fact that I'm not even eating a bowl...
of black bean noodles after paying 300,000 dollars...
is just pure craziness. It's completely absurd.
I must be out of my mind.
Let's go eat. Come on.
(A Night for Horses and Equestrians)
(Our association gave birth to many racehorses, )
(and our equestrians have constantly made many donations.)
Just a moment.
I'm here to make this dish a whole lot better for you.
-Enjoy. -My gosh.
Why are you pouring alcohol on this?
I already confirmed the dish.
How dare he change the taste of the dish...
by being sly and pulling a trick like this?
Yes, sir.
Here's your meal. I hope you all enjoy.
I'd like a bowl of jajangmyeon, please.
My gosh, seriously? This event is too fancy for a meal like that.
I'd like some jjampong so that we can share.
Our hotel doesn't serve jajangmyeon or jjampong.
What? Why not?
It's Master Wang's philosophy not to sell them.
Do you look down on them because this is a hotel?
So are you saying I can't eat it when I barely managed to come here?
Did you register your marriage?
My gosh, she paid a fortune for this event.
The last time we had jajangmyeon was two months ago.
We managed to endure it until now, but I really can't endure it today.
Can you please make us some jajangmyeon?
I'll ask the chef, but I don't think he'll make them.
I'm sorry.
Hey.
-Hey. -What?
Just a moment.
What? What do you want?
I know you, so I can ask you for a bowl of jajangmyeon.
-Can I have some? -No.
I hope you enjoy.
My gosh.
-Hey, why didn't you pick up? -What's wrong?
-Master Wang is looking for you. -Now?
Did you want to see me?
-Can you come stand next to me? -Pardon?
This will fall on your foot.
Master Wang.
Don't worry.
I knew it. You don't trust me.
This will fall on my foot.
Don't you dare think about getting promoted...
by stomping on my career.
The mala crawfish you sent out is too spicy for Koreans.
The spiciness needs to be toned down with alcohol and fire.
That way, they won't complain.
If I say it's okay, it's okay. And if I say it's not, it's not.
Even if it's wrong, what I say is the answer.
Even if you're wrong? Even if our customers complain?
Shouldn't our customers be your top priority?
Even if I'm wrong, what I say is always what matters!
I know you, so I can ask you for a bowl of jajangmyeon.
What did you say you wanted?
-Pardon? -Are you full?
-No. -Come out.
Why? What's wrong?
I wanted to cook for you, actually.
Cook what?
Whatever it is that you want to eat.
Why? Do you refuse my offer?
No way.
I knew it.
It took some time because the knife was dull.
Why do you think...
we don't have customers every day, all day?
Because the food isn't delicious.
I thought I was the only one who knew that.
Did you know that too?
-Happy birthday to us! -To us!
-Yes! -Nice!
Boss, don't you know?
It's our birthday today.
Our birthday.
(Congratulations on turning over a new leaf.)
You should've joined us sooner.
(3 years ago today)
-Boss, I'm going crazy. -Why?
They planned to not pay us back. How can we let that slide?
I thought we'd get to use our blades.
This is wrong.
This isn't like us. Is this how we'll do things?
Good work today.
-Well, I don't deserve this. -Oh, yes.
You should buy books.
Aren't you going to go to school?
I don't want to, sir.
You've got to be kidding me.
You don't have time for this.
Do you know that Crooked's men are after you?
I know that.
Be quiet and drive.
Gosh, you have a big mouth.
They're brutal when it comes to using knives.
I have you. I'm not scared.
How can you trust us? Goodness.
You're driving me crazy.
-It's the Po-po. -Duck.
"Po-po"? You should call them cops.
Hey, there's a guy named Nietzsche.
-Here we go again. -Hey.
"Was that life?"
"Well then, once more!??
Where is the boss? Did he come out?
He's not here.
-Get him out! -Boss!
-Leave Chil Seong here and be gone. -Crooked, you scumbag.
You better run away while you still have a chance.
-Just leave Chil Seong here. -Why you...
Boss.
-Go. -Boss.
He's telling you to run for your lives.
Get the car out.
-Yes, boss. -Yes, boss.
Run!
-No. -You punks. Run!
-Go! -Run. I said run.
Won't you run? Run!
Darn it.
He wants to live even if it's miserable.
Darn you, Nietzsche!
Crazy punks.
They never listen.
Boss!
It's time for your meal.
("Nietzsche's Theory of Life")
It's not hospital food today.
Does anyone want jajangmyeon?
-I want jajangmyeon! -Me!
-Here. -Help me up.
-Me. -I can't see.
Gosh, me first.
Help me up!
I can't see my jajangmyeon.
Mix it for me. I can't move my arm.
-Hurry up. -Noodles can't get soggy.
My gosh!
I love jajangmyeon the best.
-Nietzsche said... -Darn it. Shut it.
We almost died because of that Nietzsche jerk.
'Was that life?"
"Well then, once more!'
What a wonderful...
Wait. My leg is asleep.
(What a wonderful world)
What does Nietzsche say today?
Please give me...
Ma'am.
-You're awesome! -Yes!
Stop.
It's an important announcement.
We're...
-closing today. -Okay.
-What? -What?
(We're closed today because of a banquet.)
(Menu)
They really don't have jajangmyeon.
(Chinese food)
You're wearing a ring.
Isn't your wedding tomorrow?
You remember.
-What do you want? -Jajangmyeon.
So what kind?
Seafood jajangmyeon, please.
-Okay. -Where are you going?
-Wait here. -You aren't running away, are you?
-Why would I? -I've been starving all day.
I'm not running away.
Why did she starve all day?
Why isn't he here yet?
Buy gum.
You scared me.
You look like you have a lot of money. You must be kind too.
I only have cashier's checks. I'm sorry.
I can give you change.
Here...
There.
-The gum is too expensive. -Don't say that.
It's not even a tenth of what you bought there.
Bless you.
She's an idiot.
She doesn't know that it is a fake bill.
I...
opened a restaurant here, so you'd stop being thugs.
I wanted you to learn how to make jajangmyeon,
so you can open a restaurant somewhere...
and live normally like everyone else.
Be in a relationship, get married...
-But... -Did Nietzsche say something?
-Maeng Dal. -Yes.
Nietzsche would never come back again...
after eating here once.
We have no customers.
There's no one here, day in and day out.
We're doing our best,
but the young people these days don't like greasy food.
The heydays of Chinese food are over.
Do you know the restaurant in the hotel across from us?
They're the best Chinese restaurant, but they don't have any customers.
That's impossible.
Why would we lie to you, boss?
-We saw it with our own eyes. -This is the truth.
-It's the truth. -Okay, okay, okay!
We'll still close the restaurant.
Why are you being like that?
They'll have to end up closing too.
Excuse me.
Are you closed?
-It's a customer. -It's a customer, boss.
(Hungry Frying Pan Thank you for coming.)
I'll take your order. What would you like?
I want jajangmyeon.
I'll take a jajangmyeon.
Okay. One jajangmyeon!
-Jajangmyeon. -Jajangmyeon.
We should do this first.
What about this?
Gosh.
Hey!
-Watch it. -You'll get hurt...
if you pile five woks.
-He dropped five woks. -How did you know?
The onions are from China. On top of that, it's male.
How can they use male onions?
Do you want some dumplings on us?
No, but get me some chunjang.
Okay.
He's bleeding.
-Are you okay? -I'm fine. Just hurry up.
-I'll get 7 more jajangmyeons. -Is it for 8 people?
Please give me more chunjang too.
Do you have company coming?
Give me more chunjang first. How much is it?
Here.
You didn't have to pay now.
It's 40 dollars.
It's real money. The ones in that room are real.
Okay. The chunjang is good.
I'll give you a lot. I'll bring more onions too.
Brothers.
It's for eight people.
-Hey! -It's for eight people.
Are you serious?
Gosh.
Here you go.
(One bowl of jajangmyeon and chunjang for seven people)
Hey.
What are you doing?
It's obvious it'll taste bad. I can't wait any longer.
-Are the noodles ready? -Yes!
The bowl!
Wait, hold on. Do I need to put the noodles in hot water again?
The customer is waiting. Just put it in.
Then it'll be too cold. It won't taste very good.
We'll put the sauce on top.
What can we do? Just hurry up.
Okay.
You shouldn't run your business like this.
This is why people say Chinese food is greasy and dirty.
No wonder people complain.
The pickled radish has too much sugar,
and the onions are from China and the wrong gender.
I can already tell from the smell...
that your jajangmyeon is full of grease and caramel.
You'll have too much seasoning. It'll be too sweet and too greasy.
The only edible thing here is the store-bought chunjang.
I already paid, so I'll just take this.
Bye.
(Chinese food)
The only edible thing here is the store-bought chunjang.
He's definitely a jerk.
I'll get that jerk.
-Hey! Are you crazy? -I'm sorry.
Watch where you're going!
-Do you want to die? -Go.
Watch it!
Hey!
-Let's talk. -What is it?
-Hey. -You jerk.
I'll just...
-What? What? -Stop.
-Just a second.
Where are your eyes? Are you scared of traffic lights,
-but not us? -Watch it.
But...
I'm sorry, okay?
However, we don't need this.
Come and eat what you ordered and what my boys made.
That's all I need.
It's the customer's right whether he eats or not.
Are you finished?
Must I pay to eat something disgusting?
Listen, you jerk. Do you have supernatural powers?
How would you know if it's disgusting or not?
Just because we're gangsters doesn't mean we commit crimes in a kitchen.
Listen. We're just as innocent when we're in front of food.
We don't try to save money with our ingredients.
If you didn't even eat it,
why are you hurting our pride?
What's wrong with you?
I'll get going.
Hey, hey, hey!
My goodness.
Is he crazy? Are you going to let him go?
Even Nietzsche would call you a fool for letting him go.
Maeng Dal, that's enough.
It's all useless. We closed the business.
I don't think it's useless.
I can't let him go, so just let me be.
-Hey. Hey! -Wait.
Wait. Where are you going?
I'm crossing to get a taxi.
Why are you getting a taxi?
-Hey, let go. Let go. -Come here.
Hey, let go.
You told me not to run away.
You said you wouldn't run away.
You told me to wait, and look where you are.
-I almost died while waiting. -Let go.
Gosh.
I went because of this.
I told you I'd make you jajangmyeon.
-I told you to eat first. -Maeng Dal, stop it.
Eat what?
How dare you talk back?
-You're a homeless. Go away. -What?
-Let go. -No way.
You better let go.
You just got out of jail.
Stop it.
Stop what? Just bring it.
-Come on! Bring it. -You jerk.
-I got him. -Let go.
Hey!
Just go!
I have to get married tomorrow.
You really were a gangster.
-Watch what you say. -Hey, lady.
Let's go.
Don't get the woman involved.
Didn't you get married already?
I'm getting married tomorrow. What is it?
Can I say something since I got hit?
-Don't get married. -What?
Can you get married later?
Delay it. Okay?
Why?
Getting a divorce is hard.
Are you crazy?
I'll get going, chef.
Don't go.
Why? I thought you were going to keep me out of it.
Weddings are not important.
Don't get married.
I'll make you a bowl of jajangmyeon.
Don't go.
(Wok of Love)
There will be a personnel appointment today.
Where's Dragon Palace?
Get in. I was on my way to your place.
How do you know my place?
Just give me three minutes.
My gosh.
You need to know when to say goodbye.
You jerk!
I'm going to kill you all!
It's time for the groom to make an entrance. Isn't he here?
Let me borrow 50,000 dollars.
I heard you own the Chinese restaurant on the first floor.
Let me work there.
I'm going to get my revenge.
