PORTRAYED IN THIS DRAMA ARE FICTITIOUS

A SWEET NIGHT

So your goal is my doom.

It's funny I'm feeling this way

at my age.

Hello. Welcome to DanBam.

I wanted to see you.

I really wanted to meet you too.

BOSS PARK SAEROYI

Yes.

EPISODE 7

-What would you like to order? -What would you recommend?

The squid is good,

so you should try our mussel soup with squid.

-I see. Then we'll get this and... -Okay.

Is there anything else you need?

A glass of iced water for me, please.

Sure. Your food will be out shortly.

-Thank you. -No problem.

Are you ready to order, Mr. Chairman?

Do you know who I am?

Everyone in the restaurant industry knows who you are.

I'd like a stew and a stir-fried dish.

Pick what you think is best.

And a bottle of soju as well.

One stew, one stir-fried dish, and a bottle of soju.

Right away, sir.

What did he order?

A stew and a stir-fried dish.

He told me to pick the best one.

A stew and a stir-fried dish?

He's your dad. Do you know what he likes?

He tends to like salty, spicy foods.

Let's do stir-fried pork belly with mung bean sprouts and soft tofu stew.

Yes, those are the best choices.

I'll have the cook put in extra seasoning.

No, don't.

Listen, guys.

I don't want him to catch any flaws today.

So

just do what you normally do.

-Okay. -Okay.

Excuse me.

Have you lost your mind?

-What are you doing here? -I'm working, as you can see.

Exactly. Why the hell are you--

Enough.

You don't belong here.

Where do I belong?

Is Jangga

where I belong?

I'm here to eat.

We'll talk another time.

Enjoy your food.

JANG GEUN-SOO

Boss.

-Yes? -The stove.

-Thank you. -Thank you.

Enjoy.

Hey.

I noticed you bought our stock.

What?

It's a blue-chip stock.

-I thought it'd be a good investment. -No.

I'm talking about

when our stock price plummeted eight years ago.

You invested over 100 million won.

It was probably money from Mr. Park's insurance. You invested

all of that money in Jangga, which was collapsing?

Why?

Because I believed in it.

You believed in it?

The brand image might have been tarnished,

but Jangga's core values...

Its brand essence didn't change.

I thought it'd be a good long-term investment.

So it was just for the profits?

What else would it be for?

Okay, I'll take your word for it.

What's the investment of this morning supposed to mean?

This morning?

You invested about 600 million won.

What? 600 million?

You invested that much?

What are you trying to do?

I guess

you're bothered about me.

I did it for the same reason.

You're not a good liar.

Here you go, sir.

To be honest, I had high expectations.

I'm saying this because I've now tasted the food here.

No matter what you're thinking, you can't beat Jangga.

Just be grateful

that I don't consider you my enemy.

I'm saying this because of Mr. Park.

Give up and take it easy.

-Let's go. -Okay, Dad.

"Give up and take it easy"?

I can't, sir.

Being stubborn

and foolish

and my life itself...

You know I will keep fighting so let me tell you again.

It may be a slow process, but I am doing things step by step.

And you are my end goal.

Are you out of your mind? Know your place.

You!

Keep your mouth shut.

Because of my father?

Don't kid yourself.

The only thing you can do for my late father

is getting on your knees and paying for what you did.

And I'll make that happen.

A stubborn fool is now even bluffing. What a joke.

You deserve a beating.

I'm not just bluffing.

Do you know this?

Tigers don't growl or roar.

They just chew you to pieces.

I'll soon teach you what that means.

Goodbye!

Thank you for visiting DanBam!

DANBAM

DANBAM

You're actually looking that up?

Tigers do roar, of course.

I know.

They roar so loudly.

He's obviously never seen a tiger in his life. That old man bullshitted me.

He was implying that he will trample all over you.

I won't be fazed by it.

You should've kept your cool. You're no match for him, after all.

That's not how you start a fight.

He'll think I'm a kid who can't even control his anger.

I want him to think that.

-What? -He'll try to walk all over me,

but that was bound to happen.

Now that he thinks I'm just a clueless kid, he won't go all out.

What are you talking about?

Chairman Jang came by. Can we meet now?

A fight

is all about the first punch.

And you throw the first punch

behind the back.

Sure.

I'm here to see one of your inmates.

Here's a visiting application.

Fill it out and wait a few minutes.

NAME OF INMATE YOU WISH TO VISIT: PARK SAEROYI

RELATIONSHIP

Hey, 2127. You have a visitor.

Hey.

What's up?

I'm curious about something.

Curious? About what?

Why did you

hit Jang Geun-won that day?

I just couldn't stand him.

-You don't need to thank me-- -I don't need to thank you?

Don't be delusional. You were just being nosy.

That's not how you fight.

I was fighting against him in my own way, by enduring and holding out.

And you ended up behind bars because you couldn't control your temper.

Why are you all prickly?

Well, you are right.

But don't be such a know-it-all.

There are times when you're faced with things that you just can't tolerate.

You should leave if you're finished.

What will you do?

Any plans after getting out?

Well,

I don't really want to tell you.

I find you obnoxious.

I got into Business Administration at Hanguk University.

I achieved it by going through hell for three years.

I see.

It'll be good if you can forget everything.

That's great.

Can you?

Can you put everything behind and move on?

It's just something those who have never been bullied say.

Don't you know that I hate white milk?

Tell me.

Look at me.

Still to this day, Jang Geun-won shows up in my dreams and wakes me up at night.

I've gone up to the roof countless times in the middle of the night, to die.

I don't really know how to comfort--

Three years is a long time.

What got me through that hell

was my goal to get my revenge.

I want to be an asset manager.

It's like a fund manager.

First off,

I admit that I'm a little twisted.

That's why I lied earlier.

To be honest,

I wanted to thank you.

For helping me.
