You're not supposed to do it with a knife.
Make only a small crack.
The pincers shouldn't have any cracks.
It should look glossy.
It took you 1 minute to de-shell 1 lobster.
You have 15 minutes left now, and there are 24 lobsters left.
You don't have time to spend one minute for each lobster.
You should help me,
or the lobsters should peel their shells themselves.
Both won't happen.
So...
my hands should move faster, right?
-You jerks. -My goodness.
-Hey. -What's going on?
-Geok Jeong should be here by now. -You jerks!
-What's taking him so long? -Get off.
-My gosh, get off. -You little...
Sir, I'll get off here.
Who do you think you are?
-Get off me! -You jerk!
Stop it, you jerks!
-You little punk. -Pull the car out first.
Pull the car out! Hurry!
You should go.
-Hurry up, and go. -Let's leave it to Geok Jeong.
We need to go right now. Come on.
Is this the police? I'm calling from Giant Hotel's parking lot.
They must be really scared to be pulling such a cowardly move.
Who are you guys?
Tell me. Who sent you?
I hate myself for contemplating whether I should come or not.
What if he failed to de-shell all the lobsters?
What should we do?
Their plates should all be empty, but nobody finished their food.
The white plate, garlic-coated lobster,
received 75 spoons in total.
The black plate,
apple-smoked lobster,
received a total of 25 spoons.
The scores are 75 versus 25. The first match...
goes to Finishing Touch.
-Yes! -Yes!
Both teams should get ready for the next round.
For the second round, I chose...
pork belly.
We just have to get 76 spoons this time.
What?
No problem.
Our dish uses only salt...
to bring out the sweet taste of the pork.
It's salt mountain pork belly.
Our dish was a favourite of Su Dongpo.
It's pyramid dongpo pork belly.
You have one hour to cook.
Fire, start.
To make the meat smooth,
we must make sure not to damage the pork skin.
This allows you to shave off the fine hairs.
Burning the hair and the skin...
is a better method to make the meat smooth and tender.
Sae Woo.
Wash it until you can see the meat.
Yes, chef.
Ms. Chae, I need cubes that are 10cm by 10cm and 3mm thick.
Can you cut it like peeling an apple?
Cutting pork like peeling an apple? No problem.
What's the time?
They had a salt shower. Can we skip the wine shower?
The taste will change if we skip a step.
Shoot.
We'll skip the 2nd and 3rd wine showers.
Start marinating!
Yes, chef.
-Here you go. -Good.
Sae Woo, make them into exact cubes.
Make them exact. They must be sturdy.
Yes, chef.
Hurry up.
Good.
-Where is the salt? -Salt?
Darn it!
Salt!
It...
It still smells a little bit.
What do you know?
Hurry up. We don't have time.
Okay.
Rub on more salt.
Sae Woo, chop the bok choy.
Yes, chef.
The stem should be crisp while the head should be intact, right?
-Exactly. -Yes, chef.
We don't have much time left.
We don't have time. Let's choose our dish!
-Rock, paper, scissors! -Rock, paper, scissors!
Shoot.
-Get the round dishes. -Yes, chef.
Hurry up.
-Spread them out. -Yes, chef.
You have 20 minutes left.
What are you waiting for? Hurry up.
Hey, you're good.
It's easier if I imagine them as dough.
Come here. I'll knead you nicely.
Hey!
Come out here.
What are you doing?
Hey, Maeng Dal.
What are you doing here at this hour?
You're sly like a snake. You jerk.
Come here, you jerk!
-Stop. -Run!
-Get them.
Get those jerks!
Go.
This is a salt mountain pork belly.
Salt mountain pork belly?
What?
It looks very unique.
For this round, the two chefs...
will serve you personally.
Please place your spoons on the dish you liked more.
This dish's name is pyramid dongpo pork.
Not only does it look good,
but it's fun to peel off the layers as you eat.
You can wrap the non-greasy pork with the Chinese steamed bun.
You can enjoy it with some aromatic bok choy.
It looks pretty good.
This dish...
is salt mountain pork belly.
We devoted a lot of time in preparing the meat...
to get rid of any bad smells.
And we grilled the whole pork inside the world's best bay salt.
I was able to create this taste with only salt.
It's a dish only a true chef can make.
Lastly, we'll get rid of the salt's taste with fire.
Ma'am, I'm here to serve it properly for you.
I was only trying to help!
We got into a fight because of a misunderstanding!
Don't lie, you snake.
-Thank you. -Sure.
Don't you dare lie to us.
Do you think this is over?
I don't know about that,
but I think it's over for you.
Thank you for your work.
Okay, then.
-Let's go. -You have it wrong.
Come on!
-That jerk... -Hey, let's go.
Okay.
Tongs.
Even the cross sections will be crispy.
Please enjoy.
Eat it in a wrap.
I think their dish is good again.
What do we do?
Please enjoy.
This dish is pleasing to the eye.
It looks like a work of art.
Thank you.
The meat melted in my mouth and disappeared.
What a shame.
It's so tender that it melts.
However, the sweet taste of the meat...
penetrated into the steamed bun.
The steamed bun tastes excellent as well.
As for the crunchy bok choy, it cleans your palate.
I've never had such a thing.
Amazing.
It's so thin and tender.
By the way,
is there a reason why you made the meat into a pyramid?
I'm sure it's not just for aesthetic reasons.
The shape keeps it warm.
If the meat is thin, it cools fast and goes stiff.
If we roll it in layers, the dish...
will remain warm and tender throughout.
I see.
No wonder.
We haven't seen you since the last banquet.
We'll make sure yours is extra delicious.
What's the matter, sir?
I think it's praiseworthy to have created such a taste...
with just salt.
However, it seems like you couldn't get rid of the bad smells.
It smells the more you chew it.
I'm sorry. I have a sensitive tongue.
-Fire Part. -Yes?
Did you give them enough salt showers?
Of course, chef.
-Try it. -Pardon?
Yes, chef.
Please excuse me.
Chef...
You ordered me to do just one wine shower.
Is it because of that?
I told you it smells.
We'll count the spoons.
-Hey. -What happened?
We need at least 75 spoons.
I think it might be possible.
What is going on?
Why do you call yourselves Light and Shadow Loans?
If you get a loan from us, we'll follow you like a shadow.
That's how we'll get our money back.
I'll open a restaurant...
and bring all the customers from Giant Hotel.
The dishes I made that were sold for 100 dollars...
will be made exactly the same but sold for the 10th of the price.
I'll make sure not a fly goes to Giant Hotel.
I'll get back at them.
You promised...
to teach my boys how to cook.
You promised.
I wish the people I love...
would stay beside me.
The dice has been rolled.
Do you think Nietzsche...
will be on our side?
He won't be on anyone's side.
What matters...
is that you rolled the dice because you trust me.
(Special VIP Invitation)
Hungry Wok's pyramid dongpo pork got 90 spoons.
Finishing Touch's salt mountain pork belly...
received 10 spoons.
The final numbers after the two rounds...
are 115 versus 85.
It's Hungry Wok's victory.
We won!
Yes!
We got it.
We won!
I'm sure everyone felt the same.
From now on,
you're the master chef of this hotel.
It's all thanks to you.
You worked so hard, Poong.
Thank you.
We won. We won.
We received the following announcements.
From this point on, the chef of Finishing Touch...
is Master Seo Poong.
Your positions...
will be determined by Master Seo Poong.
Please wait.
Sam Seon,
it looks like you'll have to resign.
(Hungry Wok)
There.
Why did you lose with your lobster dish?
I wasn't able to control the salt. It was too salty.
I see.
Here.
Is it a gift?
It's nothing.
It's so pretty.
Hold on.
-Can I put it on right now? -Yes.
Let's see. Can you hook it for me?
You should do it yourself.
What is this supposed to mean?
-Are you proposing? -Are you crazy?
I wouldn't get married either, okay?
Does this mean you love me?
It doesn't mean anything.
Should we go eat? I'm hungry.
Don't change the subject.
I didn't eat a thing since last night.
Just tell me that you love me on a day like this.
Don't give me a gift and say that it's nothing.
You and Chil Seong looked more affectionate earlier.
Do you like him that much?
It's not that.
It stills feels awkward to be with you in front of him.
I just feel bad. That's all.
I get jealous easily.
Do you like him more than me?
Are you confused?
Obviously,
I like you more.
Exactly. So what does this mean?
Are you breaking up with me?
-There is no reason. -I hate you.
Let's go.
I'm letting it go since we won. If we lost,
I would've gone to jail to get back at Crooked.
The police took him.
He'll have to serve for a long time since he has a record.
You did well.
Gosh, this bean paste stew is amazing.
Today's the day I decided to take revenge...
on the hotel's restaurant as I was kicked out.
But I never imagined that I'd be eating bean paste stew...
with the woman who asked me to have an affair with her.
You even suggested that we should get a room. You're so bold.
How could you ask me to have an affair with you?
What were you thinking?
Stop talking about that. You're embarrassing me.
I'll never be able to forget how you asked me to have an affair.
I even get up in the middle of the night just to laugh.
I'm grateful...
that you were the one passing by the hotel lobby...
that day.
Me too.
Congratulations on becoming a hotel chef.
Thanks.
I'll start becoming really busy now.
It'll be hard for us to meet.
Why? I'll be seeing you every day in the kitchen.
But I'll be working at the hotel.
I know.
You're going to work there too?
Yes.
I didn't know you'd want to follow me.
I like working with a wok. I want to work and learn in your kitchen.
Do you not want to work with me?
No, that's not it.
It's just that...
you barely even made it to the competition today.
Are you sure it's not because...
I'm not competent enough to work with you in your kitchen?
She only left a letter saying that she'll be going on a trip.
I can't seem to reach her, and I haven't heard from her since.
Oh, is that why you looked so...
Am I getting abandoned again...
like this?
Gosh, you're too old to get abandoned. Seriously.
(Medicine)
What's this medicine for?
Why does she have so much medicine?
But there's no envelope of the pharmacy.
Should I make a call?
No, I'll look into it myself.
I'm sure she'll be fine.
She didn't have trouble eating jajangmyeon and sweet and sour pork.
She even had no problem swearing, and she was full of energy too.
How did you know I was here?
I went to Hungry Wok...
and heard about what happened.
Congratulations.
Let's go outside and talk comfortably. You can sit down...
I want you to end things with my daughter.
I...
sincerely love Sae Woo.
Is that...
not enough?
"Love"?
That feeling will fade away after a year you get married.
My daughter...
needs both love and money.
Money...
I'll earn money.
I know Sae Woo's dad isn't here...
and I'm not in a very good state, but I still don't like you.
I even wonder if you're coveting my daughter...
because of the situation I'm in.
It makes me feel awful, and it's really offending.
Seeing Sae Woo like you so much makes me pity her.
I'll earn...
a lot of money.
Please give me a chance.
I'll also...
be good to you. You don't know...
what kind of guy I am yet.
I keep telling you this. You don't go well with my family.
I can't approve of you.
So please stop going out with my daughter.
Do you understand?
(Nambu Detention Centre)
-Here he comes! -Where?
-He's out! -He's out!
Did you know that the loan documents were fabricated?
Do you know why he suddenly confessed?
Will you be reinstated as the president then?
I am very relieved that they proved my innocence.
Thank you.
-Honey. -Dad.
Mr. Dan.
Welcome back, sir.
Dan Seung Gi, the former President...
of Mujogeon Bank was released today.
He was sentenced not guilty after long trial of two months.
He was imprisoned and was on trial...
for malpractice and malfeasance...
for loaning 800 million dollars to Ultra Construction.
The director of the bank confessed...
that he had been bribed and fabricated the loan documents.
Ultimately, Dan Seung Gi was sentenced not guilty.
The prosecution will indict the president...
of Ultra Construction for bribery, malpractice...
and malfeasance.
Here is your chef uniform and the key to your room.
Thank you.
Congratulations.
(Letter of Resignation)
I can't work for you.
Hey.
You can't work at any restaurant because people know...
that you stole my recipe note.
Are you worried about me now?
-Hey. -What?
Just work with me.
It was your dream to be a Fire Part at this restaurant.
I'm sure you know your place better than anyone.
I can't find any Fire Part better than you.
I need you.
(Letter of Resignation)
You'll stay, won't you...
(Letter of Resignation)
Fire Part? Please?
(Hungry Wok)
Were you waiting for me?
Your dad got released from prison.
Yes.
We got rid of all the red stickers at home.
We have a car. I don't need to worry about Buster's hospital fee.
My mom's happy, and we don't need to worry about paying rent.
Gosh, I feel like I can breathe now.
You're rich again.
I guess so.
Congratulations.
Does this mean this restaurant's going to close down?
Yes.
Chil Seong put the entire building and restaurant up for sale.
Then will everyone at Hungry Wok be working in your kitchen?
Of course.
Even Ms. Chae and Geok Jeong?
Of course.
Even Dim Sum?
Of course.
Even me?
I'm also going to work there starting tomorrow.
I'm being serious.
Aren't you happy?
I'm going to start from the bottom as an assistant for the Fire Part.
I used to work at Hungry Wok, so I'm qualified, right?
It's way too tiring.
On top of that, it's rare to find...
a woman who handles a wok in Chinese cuisine.
I guess small Chinese restaurants can have women in their kitchens,
but it's mostly men in the kitchen when it comes to Chinese cuisine.
It's not as easy as you think.
Let's say you do work at the hotel. Then you'll be the fifth Fire Part.
It's very hierarchical.
And no one will teach you how to do stuff.
I can't even meddle...
because you'll have your own set of seniors above you.
You need to get rid of your pride. Once you start having an opinion,
that's when you'll want to quit.
We don't need to worry about rent,
my dad's out, and things are back to normal.
But I still like your kitchen, and I still like the wok.
If I fail to do my job as the fifth Fire Part,
you can fire me then.
-Will you be able to handle it? -Yes.
Are you sure?
Yes.
Fine, then.
Give it a try.
You can work starting from tomorrow.
I won't go easy on you.
Okay. Only Maeng Dal knows about us, so keep it a secret.
Make sure no one finds out. If word gets out about us,
my seniors will feel really uncomfortable.
Okay?
You'll get sick of it. You'll even start hating me.
Gosh.
Your mom and dad won't like it.
Did my mom say something to you?
No.
Did she look down on you and disrespect you?
None of that's important.
Must you...
work in my kitchen?
When we're in your kitchen,
I'll let you be arrogant to me.
Where did Sae Woo go?
Ms. Jin. Mr. Dan.
We have something to tell you.
-Geok Jeong, you too? -Yes.
When Ms. Jin was all alone,
it was only right for us to stay by her side.
But now that you're out, I'd like to tell you something.
I've been working my entire life as your housekeeper.
But when I started working as the Cutting Part,
I felt really excited.
I want to start working as the Cutting Part at the hotel.
And I never got to get myself...
a proper job because of my leg.
But it was really exciting and fun...
to make little dim sums that are smaller than my thumb...
and noodles as thin as my hair.
I also want to work as the Noodle Part at the hotel.
So are you saying...
you both want to work at Poong's hotel?
Please give us your approval.
Are you guys seriously going to be like this?
How am I going to eat?
No, that's not what's important.
Seol Ja, please don't go.
Geok Jeong, please stay.
Seol Ja, I'll even marry you off.
And I'll do the same for you too, Geok Jeong. I'll do anything.
Please don't go.
I can't let you guys leave.
You should stay and live with us.
My wife loves you both so much. How can you think of leaving?
Back when she used to work here...
as a caregiver three years ago,
she received surgery for her liver cancer.
She endured it pretty well, but it recently relapsed.
So she needs to receive chemotherapy again.
Who's that?
I'm not expecting anyone.
(Haemato-oncology, Pain clinic, Echocardiography, Medical check-up)
(Finishing Touch, Seo Poong)
You look great.
I'm the fourth Fire Part.
I'm the 10th Cutting Part.
I'm the fourth Noodle Part.
I'm the last member of the Dim Sum Part.
I didn't know Poong would let all of us work here.
My gosh.
Let's get ready.
-We should head outside. -Okay.
-Come on. -Okay.
This feels awkward.
Me too.
Hey, I have a question.
What kind of relationship do you have with Chef Poong?
Well, my relationship with Chef Poong...
is similar to the sky and the earth.
So there's nothing special going on?
I'm the second Cutting Part, so I'll just talk comfortably.
-Okay. -Move over.
Everyone, let's get ready.
My gosh.
This is going to be a long day.
If Mr. Dan said "No",
that means we really can't work at the hotel.
I wonder how Sae Woo's putting up.
What should we do?
Gosh, I don't know.
My head's about to burst.
Number 7, 11, and 16 are good to go!
-Good to go! -Good to go!
Send out the entire dinner course menu in three minutes.
-Yes, chef! -Yes, chef!
Bring me three servings of rice.
Okay.
My goodness.
What's going on?
It's nothing, sir.
Did you use all the cold rice? Why didn't you check?
I'll make some.
-It's hot. -Be careful.
You eat Peking duck for its skin, not its flesh.
You made holes while plucking its feathers and lost all the fat.
Do it again.
Hurry up. Do it again.
Yes, chef.
What is this nonsense?
Hey, you were supposed to check the cold rice.
Didn't you hear that we need 3 in 3 minutes?
Just bring hot rice if there's no cold rice.
But we need to use cold rice...
so that the eggs don't make the rice too sticky.
That's why I was doing this.
Yes, ma'am.
Are you Fire Part?
Hey, are you the one frying the rice?
Are you holding the wok?
Even if it's hot rice, I'll make it...
not too sticky.
Just bring it.
Yes, sir!
Here you go.
-Bring crab meat. -Okay.
Stop looking.
Again.
Okay.
Again!
Please tell me why.
I'm busy. Do I need to teach you every single thing?
Again.
Can't you smell?
Crab meat can smell fishy even if it's fresh when it's cold.
So you should blanch it before passing it to him.
You must check the ingredients three times.
Check them if they're fresh, firm,
and without fishy smell.
Can't you use your sense of sight, smell, and touch?
Did you loses your senses?
I'm sorry, sir. I didn't know.
I can't watch anymore.
Seol Ja has to come back soon.
Just because you're an assistant...
doesn't mean you aren't as important.
If you don't keep it together, the entire dish will be ruined.
Fire Part assistant is that important.
Think thoroughly...
about if you can really do this.
Yes, chef.
What are you looking at?
You've all been through this too. Mind your own business.
-Yes, chef. -Yes, chef.
-Let's get back to work.
Let's get back to work.
I can't believe it's taking me forever to make crab fried rice.
Gosh, it's hot!
Place the plate the right way.
Okay.
It has to be put on the plate as soon as it's cooked,
but you can't even place the plate at the right timing.
You have such a slow and sluggish body and mind.
I'm sorry.
Are you crying?
No.
My eyes are leaking...
because it's just so hot.
I'm sorry.
This is why women can't be Fire Part.
If you're going to cry, stick to cleaning the floor.
No, I'll make one again.
One crab fried rice is ready, chef.
Good...
to...
go.
Good to go!
-Good to go! -Good to go!
Aren't you being too harsh? It's her first day here.
Every kitchen follows different rules and...
I was crazy. I'm insane!
-Hello? -This is Sae Woo's father.
Pardon?
Can't you let my daughter leave your kitchen?
What? Pardon?
Just let her go. Let her go first.
And let's meet tomorrow.
I'm okay, chef.
If you don't treat a burn,
you won't be able to do anything.
A Fire Part assistant should know how to take care of herself.
-Apply this often. -Yes, chef.
Thank you.
I'm sorry, chef.
My kitchen has just begun.
I don't want anyone getting hurt.
Okay?
-Yes, chef. -Yes, chef.
All right. Let's focus.
-Good work. -Goodnight.
-Bye.
-Let's go home. -Goodnight.
-We're done. -Great job.
Goodness.
Can't you let my daughter leave your kitchen?
Gosh, my back.
Goodness, it hurts.
Gosh, my back.
How dare a Fire Part assistant lie down on the chef's table?
I'm here, but you won't even sit up.
Nobody's here.
I feel terribly tired.
Sure. You must feel tired since you're old.
I told you it was hard even for men.
I told you many times that they wouldn't tell you...
what you did wrong or even give you a single compliment.
Did you think I was just trying to scare you?
I should've let Sam Seon leave when he resigned.
I can't feel my legs.
I never got to sit down all day.
I don't think I can stand.
Do you want a piggyback ride?
Here?
Sure. There's nobody here.
What?
I'll carry you to the car. Let's go.
Are you crazy?
Come on. Get up.
I mean...
I have to come to work really early tomorrow.
If I go home now, I won't have much time to rest.
Then don't go home.
Is there a night duty room?
Night duty room?
Yes.
Get on my back. I'll carry you to the night duty room.
Where is it? Is it behind the changing room?
Let's just go already. Come on.
Are there separate night duty rooms for each men and women?
-Why do you ask? -If there are separate rooms,
you should sleep here too.
Don't go home.
You're a Fire Part assistant. You can't order me around.
I have to let you win all afternoon.
Do I need to do that at night too?
Will you do this again tomorrow?
Of course.
Will you...
come back to work tomorrow?
Of course. Why do you ask?
Today was my first day. I expected it to be this hard.
It's too upsetting to see you get scolded.
You didn't seem to mind at all.
You aren't any nicer than Sam Seon.
Still,
your kitchen is like a battlefield. It's great.
To the night duty room. Let's go.
Let's go to the night duty room.
What if someone sees us?
We can take the staff elevator down.
We have to go downstairs?
Yes.
Are you sleepy?
Yes.
Don't fall asleep yet.
Okay.
Sae Woo.
Is this the night duty room?
Isn't this a hotel room?
Since today was your first day,
your body will ache a lot tomorrow.
You can sleep here.
Don't waste your time commuting.
Just sleep...
comfortably here.
All right? I'll see you tomorrow.
Okay.
It's not cold, right?
Sae Woo.
Brush your teeth.
Okay. Later.
No. Not later. Now.
Okay.
Later.
Brush your teeth. You smell like grease.
-Okay. -Here.
Seriously. Let's go.
Let's brush your teeth.
-Let's go. -I don't want to.
There.
Brush your teeth.
Open your mouth.
Open wide.
Good work. I'll see you tomorrow.
Goodnight.
That must be uncomfortable.
You should take the uniform off.
Okay.
There.
My goodness.
Is this a dream too?
No, it's not.
Don't go to sleep.
I think I'm dreaming.
It's reality.
A good dream.
It's not a dream.
Don't go to sleep.
Sleep with me.
(Wok of Love)
Stop right there.
Take your hands off, and step back.
Shouldn't you be more careful?
-Go on a blind date. -I like Poong.
Even if I die,
don't forgive me.
Mom, why aren't you answering me?
Both of your parents hate me.
-Look at me only. -I can't do that.
I'm warning you. Look at me only.
