Love Cuisine (料理高校生)

The bet is that the loser will have to give up cooking for good.

I'm trying to challenge the limits of my taste buds.

I want to experience the feeling of having no limits.

I'll assess everyone in our final lesson.

If you can incorporate your feelings into your dish

and help that person realize who has cooked that dish

then it'd be a truly warm and sincere dish.

If you can get into the final five places

then I'll give you a prize that's even better than being friends with me.

I must call off our competition.

Let's have a warm-up match first.

If I win, then you'll do as I say and compete with me.

This is a bit boring.

Why don't we add a finishing touch to each other's dessert?

It's got peanut powder, so you can't eat it.

I give up, I look forward to our one hundredth competition.

Please tell me how I can apologize to Miss Fang and Mr. Han.

It's the recipe that Chris used for his dessert.

That's very unlike him.

The Chris that I'm seeing now is very different from before.

You better watch out.

Because I have the perfect reason to defeat you this time.

Chris, what actually happened to you over the past few years?

Remember this ring that you've always wanted?

If I lose, I'll give it to you.

Weirdo Zhen.

Weirdo Zhen... hey.

Wang Mai Zhi, how did you know I was here?

You always go to the bathroom when you get nervous.

I knew I'd find you here.

- This is for you. - What is it?

Lavender tea, it'll help you relax.

Drink it.

Try to relax before our exam.

Make sure you don't drop the pan, you hear me?

Wait.

Just drink half of it for now.

Otherwise, you might need to go to the bathroom again.

But that means it'll only be half as effective.

I know.

Eucalyptus oil.

Come here.

Weirdo Zhen, relax.

Why are you still so nervous?

If you don't get so close to me

then I wouldn't be so nervous.

How about this?

Is that better?

Don't forget if you get into the final five places

then you'll get the mystery prize.

So make sure you win.

Can you tell me what the mystery prize is?

It's something that you've always wanted.

Weirdo Zhen, listen.

I have full confidence in you.

so you must get into the final five with me.

You hear me?

Come on, let's go for our exam.

Are you ready? Let's begin.

You'll have to draw a name from here

and cook a dish for the person that you've drawn.

Now that you've picked your classmates

you've got three hours to finish your dish.

You're not to exchange ingredients or look at someone else's cooking.

Then cover your dish, put our hand up and leave the classroom, understand?

Yes...

Amy, who did you pick?

I'm not telling you.

The competition's not over yet, so don't even think about cheating.

Weirdo Zhen.

Are you confident?

- Sort of. - What do you mean?

You have my full support so you should be very confident.

Everyone.

You may come in now.

Here are the dishes that your classmates have made for you.

Try it and feel the warmth that it's trying to convey.

Then circle the name of the person whom you think has cooked this dish for you.

Before you begin your tasting

I'd like to announce that Kong Meng Zhe is eliminated.

Why?

But I've spent a lot of time and effort on my dish.

Why did I get eliminated?

But you shouldn't have put your name on your dish.

So this is the secret weapon that you were talking about?

You're so tricky.

He's become the victim of his own intelligence.

All right, everyone, start your tasting.

Qi Zhen, let's start with you.

Wang Mai Zhi?

What makes you think that he's cooked this pork in ginger sauce?

Because I was down with the flu last week

and only Wang Mai Zhi and Kong Meng Zhe knew about it.

Wang Mai Zhi even cooked hot cola with ginger for me.

So he must have cooked this dish for me because he's worried about me.

Not bad, Weirdo Zhen.

At least it's all worth it.

I think this lamb chop with wuhuaguo must have been prepared by...

Meng Chen.

- Do you like wuhuaguo? - Not really.

Then what makes you think that Meng Chen has cooked it?

Because only Meng Chen would cook something that says

"I don't care if you like it or not but I'm going to cook this anyway."

But it's actually quite nice.

I'm actually starting to like wuhuaguo.

What about Meng Chen?

How about your potato roses?

I think it's all right.

It's almost as good as my cooking.

So who do you think has cooked it for you?

Liu Xuan.

Why?

Because apart from me

nobody else in our class can make such perfect potato sculptures as these.

You're so annoying.

Liu Xuan, did you cook these potato roses?

I did, because I think Meng Chen is like a rose.

She's actually very beautiful once she gets rid of all her pricks.

Exactly, I totally agree.

Amy, what about you?

This banana and chocolate crepe is so delicious.

I really like it.

Then who do you think has cooked it for you?

It must be Ah-Sheng.

Because we sold this crepe together back in first year.

He even saved the last piece for me.

So I'll never forget its taste.

Ah-Sheng, is it you?

What about you, Liu Xuan?

My dish is fish soup.

This person must have cooked this for me because he knows I've hurt my knee

and they want me to get better soon.

That's really thoughtful.

So who do you think it is?

Amy, is it you?

It's me.

What?

Here are the five contestants who will enter the national cooking competition.

Wang Mai Zhi.

Liu Xuan.

Ma Chong Sheng.

Chen Meng Chen.

- Tang Hao. - Yes!

These are our five contestants.

Weirdo Zhen.

Weirdo Zhen.

How dare you run away from me.

It's okay.

Why did you run off so quickly?

You didn't even notice that you've dropped your dictionary.

I gave you this dictionary.

How could you lose it so easily?

She actually listened to me

and crossed out the words "useless" and "scared."

What a silly girl.

Weirdo Zhen!

Weirdo Zhen, do you think I'm an alien?

I'm exhausted.

Why did you keep running away from me?

Wang Mai Zhi, I'm sorry.

You kept cheering me on.

Yet I've let you down again.

It's not your fault.

Liu Xuan is so stupid.

She should have known you're the most thoughtful person.

It's not Liu Xuan's fault.

I didn't really have what it takes to join the training program anyway.

Now that I'm eliminated, I won't be a burden for our team.

Hey... don't go anywhere.

I'm not done yet.

If you keep running away from me

then I'll confiscate your folder, mug, and even this dictionary.

My dictionary...

Wait, tell me.

Aren't you curious to know what mystery prize I was going to give you?

What's the point?

I'm not going to get it anyway.

It's not something that special anyway.

It's just going to be a real-life sized figure cutout.

I knew it, I really want it.

Why would you want a figure cutout when you can have the real person?

- Real-- - What?

Nothing.

I'll have to confiscate your dictionary for now.

It's your punishment for making me chase after you.

If you do it again, then I'll ignore you.

You hear me?

But I don't have magical power like you do.

I still got eliminated even though I've crossed out the word "failure."

No matter how hard I try

my dream still won't come true.

Of course it will.

I'll prove it to you.

I'll write "Shi Wen is the loser" in you dictionary

and defeat them.

Weirdo Zhen, if I end up winning

then you'll have to give me a prize.

But I'm not you.

I don't have any mugs or autographed photos--
