Mr. Queen (Queen Cheorin / Cheorinwanghoo / 철인왕후)

No matter how fierce a beast may be,

it would never bite the hand that feeds him.

It would wag its tail.

When I first started cooking at the age of 13,

my dream was to work at the Blue House no matter what.

I wanted to become the person to feed the strongest person.

That's how I became a chef.

As you mentioned earlier, you became...

the youngest chef in the Blue House.

I was the first. - Pardon?

Here.

Here's the cod.

This is fine.

The ambassador is particularly sensitive to fish bones.

Please pay attention to that.

My gosh.

If you say that one more time,

all he'll get is a fish head.

The chef is preparing the fish personally,

so you don't need to worry.

Is he Emperor Qin Shi Huang or something?

Emperor Qin Shi Huang?

Fish cakes were made because of Emperor Qin Shi Huang.

Emperor Qin Shi Huang abused his power so much that...

despite eating fish every day because he loved it so much,

if there was a single bone,

he would cut off the head of the chef who made it.

Every day, chefs would die,

but a new chef that started working thought...

he would end up dead for sure.

He was lost in despair...

as he absentmindedly cut up the fish on the cutting board.

Then, eureka.

He was very lucky.

You might be wondering how a person could kill another over some food,

but it's not just some food.

A properly-made meal could open up the most guarded heart.

You might even call it the most charming bullet in the world.

So this is the mindset I have when I cook in the Blue House,

"Cooking is politics."

Since we're on the topic, let's hear some stories...

that everyone is most curious about.

For example, what are some secrets about the Blue House?

Before that, let me make this clear.

My name will not be revealed,

and I will get paid in cash. Okay?

Oh, that? There was a short circuit due to a water leak,

and it's been broken for a week.

Did it get broken, or did someone break it?

There are times when we need to turn a blind eye to these things.

Thanks to that, I get to benefit from it too.

But is it okay for us to be like this?

If the main dish has been served, it's game over.

Right now, the Chinese ambassador is getting a taste of paradise.

Chef Jang! Find Chef Jang!

Chef Jang!

Where are you? - My goodness.

It's tiring to be so good too.

The ambassador loved my food so much...

that he wants to compliment me himself?

I'll be right back, Sun Young.

My name is Hye Jung.

The name Sun Young fits you better.

Oh, my.

Taek. You should do it.

Mr. Jang Bong Hwan.

It's the Jongno Police Station Criminal Affairs Division.

Chef Jang, that jerk's last name is Jang,

so he goes around calling himself the best chef around,

so I feel like I'm losing because of my name.

Once the business to globalize Korean food starts,

the name that will spread across the world is Bu Seung Min.

It's not Jang Bong Hwan.

Do a good job. Make sure to keep everyone quiet.

Right.

They mustn't mistake us for this.

We're clean.

Goodness. You scared us.

You must accompany us to the station.

The fishing hook incident...

has been resolved as something that happened while fishing,

and I took responsibility and was removed from my post.

What else is there?

There's circumstantial evidence for ingredient delivery corruption.

How much?

It was quite substantial over a duration of two years.

And the circumstantial evidence points to me?

Who said that?

We just wanted to get a statement for our investigation.

Gosh, you're terrible at acting.

You should open the door now.

I'm sure you know well as detectives,

but this is not something...

that a mere chef can do by himself.

Bu Seung Min, that jerk who will always be a sous chef,

has been in the Blue House kitchen the longest.

He's the real enemy here.

He's in cahoots with someone high up...

and is trying to put all the blame on me.

Right. That's why we're saying you should come to the station...

and tell us your side of the story.

I was wondering why they were going through so much trouble...

to make sure that I would quit,

but this must be it.

This is something only the chief secretary or higher can do.

Is it Secretary Han?

What's with the sudden monologue?

We're pressed for time.

Why do you think? I'm trying to stall.

We don't have time.

What's this?

Gosh. Mr. Jang Bong Hwan. Stop right there!

My gosh, you guys are so impatient.

I'm going to hire an attorney...

and look into that jerk, Bu Seung Min,

and go to you on my own accord.

You should eliminate corruption...

and get a promotion, don't you agree?

Let's stop this. Okay?

Did you hear me? Okay.

You can go home now.

My goodness.

Hey!

That crazy dog!

I told you to beware of dogs.

Don't come any closer.

Mr. Jang Bong Hwan! Something bad will happen like this!

My gosh.

Oh, right.

I had an important question. May I ask it?

What is it?

Why do you give people sundae gukbap in the holding cell?

What kind of crazy nonsense is that?

I really hate sundae gukbap.

Do you think this is a transport cafe?

Is this a rest stop on a highway?

Why are you complaining about the menu?

I'm a chef!

Even in dangerous times like this, I only think about cooking.

I'm the best chef! - You're really full of it.

Don't let go of me!

My gosh. I almost died.

It's beautiful, isn't it?

No.

There are so many women I haven't been with yet.

Help me. I want to live.

I want to live so badly.

Is this paradise?

No. I'm going to live.

What's this cloth?

Am I in the morgue alive?

Oh, I'm not.

That makes sense. There's no way I would end up in paradise.

I didn't do anything bad,

but I didn't do anything good either.

What's with this anachronistic location?

Am I at a hanok village?

I fell from such a high place, so why is my body okay?

That's right. Lower body exercises can save a man's life.

I'm fine, right? My precious...

What's this? Where did all my muscles go?

What happened to my precious babies that I made with the utmost care...

Darn it. I heard that when you lose muscles it turns into fat.

How long have I been unconscious?

What?

What's this?

Oh, this must be a dream.

I almost died, but I'm still dreaming about women.

I'm fine.

But I should be dreaming of being with a woman, not becoming one.

Gosh, there's a fine line between a nightmare and a good dream.

But I saw this woman somewhere.

Did I see her on Instagram?

No. We had a deep connection with physical contact.

Soo Yeon? Chae Young?

The water ghost!

Even my voice changed?

Your Highness!

You have finally woken up!

I knew you would wake up.

Thank you.

Thank goodness.

Please do not move. - Why? What is it?

You are not well yet, so I...

That's right. This is the kind of dream I should have. How nice...

What is that? It tastes horrible.

Is it that uncomfortable to drink?

How is my sense of taste so realistic in a dream?

I will ask them to add some licorice and make it again.

Is this not a dream?

What on earth is happening?

It is all my fault.

I should not have left your side.

I feel so regretful,

so I will not leave your side for one moment from now on.

Your Highness?

Your Highness!

Your Highness!

Your Highness!

Your Highness!
