Fired Up! (來！金來號！)

I should never have met you.

I shouldn't have come to you.

It's you who turned me into this...

a life of total chaos.

Between us,

from the very first night we met,

it was a mistake.

No one can decide how it begins,

but I can decide how it ends.

For everything we created together,

for the person most important to me,

whatever it takes...

I will...

...destroy you.

- -

Why are the noodles and sauce separate? Failed.

Even with penne, the sauce isn't clinging to it.

Failed.

Squid-ink pasta only goes with seafood, not meat sauce.

You don't even know your basics, and you invite me to a taste test?

- You're wasting my time. -

GOURMET, MEGA INFLUENCER,

SCATHING FOOD CRITIC CHAO YI-HSUAN

When people meet me, they're usually surprised by two things.

First, how can I know so much about food, love to eat, and dare to eat anything?

Every dish, every flavor, you name it.

It's like I've got a radar in my mouth or something.

Yup. That's my superpower, built-in since day one.

Second, why am I so smart and athletic at the same time?

The one who keeps asking me that is my college bestie, Chang Chien-wu.

He says I'm basically an alien.

And he's not wrong. Because I hold the stars in my hands.

I'm a food influencer with over a million followers.

I'm brutally honest, no sugarcoating.

Regular folks call me the Queen.

Good food is whatever I declare it to be.

Whether it's five stars, three stars, or even just one,

my word can make or break a place.

WASTING MY TIME

Some places have no talent and zero effort.

You really dared to put something this awful on a plate?

Total garbage.

This world has never been fair.

Some people are destined for success. Some are destined to fail.

And me? I freaking hate failures.

Get up!

I'm sorry for asking you to come to the school, Mrs. Chao.

- Is Yi-hsuan not doing well at school? - She's a brilliant girl.

But I'm worried she's too strict with herself.

She's overly competitive.

She has been like this since she was little.

But I don't see it as a problem.

But she can't seem to accept any failure.

Sometimes, it gets quite extreme.

You can't even take a ball at this speed?

Dive for it! What are your kneepads for?

We lost the inter-class volleyball competition

because a teammate missed a ball.

Yi-hsuan forced him to practice with her.

Now, he refuses to come to gym class.

Again... Again!

Get up!

That's enough. We've done this 300 times.

You're not tired, but I am!

I'm not tired?

Look.

For you, I've almost ruined my hand.

And you're telling me I'm not tired?

Honestly, I think being able to accept some failures

is something Yi-hsuan needs to learn.

What is success to you?

Am I successful?

No, you're not.

A restaurant needs to be big to be successful.

So, I'm a loser?

It's okay if you're a loser.

I will be a success.

Whatever I eat becomes a part of me.

So I hate, I really hate being forced to lie that something is good.

Forcing me to say it is like murdering me.

Just like this.

This restaurant's white wine clam pasta?

The sauce hasn't been emulsified with the pasta at all.

The sauce and spaghetti are fully separated.

Am I eating soup noodles?

And they claim to be a true pasta restaurant.

What a joke!

Give me back my phone.

- Will you delete it or not? -I have freedom of speech.

I invited you to eat here. It's fine if you don't like the food.

- Did you have to post that? - You snuck photos of me first.

Isn't that forcing my recommendation?

I didn't want to say anything at first, but since you made this awkward,

don't blame me for telling the truth. Give it back!

Yi-hsuan, we were high school classmates. It doesn't have to be like this.

Because we were classmates, I've been very polite.

Polite?

You can't leave without deleting the video. That's it!

Fine.

I'll delete my video. You'll delete yours too. Okay?

Think about it. Which one will hurt you more?

My negative reviews, right?

So, we'll both delete them. Then it's fair. Okay?

Okay.

Listen, guys. Their food is bad.

And they confiscate your phone, so you can't post a bad review.

What are you doing? Stop filming! You...

- You're in the video. - You're going too far!

- - Hey, hey, hey!

No need to get violent! Can't you just talk nicely?

Who the hell are you? Some social justice warrior?

Do you even know what happened?

Let go!

- - Hey!

What's wrong with you?

Hey!

You didn't have to slap her.

Do you know how much she scammed from my dad?

Do you know how it feels to have your family ruined?

You don't.

Because you know nothing.

I'm sorry.

Idiot!

Look!

I got the Queen for a taste-test at Jin Lai Xuan.

She used to be my classmate. Not bad, right?

She's really great.

No wonder Hsiu-wen always says you're good.

Really?

Yes.

And she asked if you're free tomorrow night.

She wants to go out with you.

She'll make herself smell good, and after dinner, she'll bring you home

- to see her cat doing backflips. - Leave me alone.

That's enough, all of you.

If you're not on the next shift, get out of here.

- Do you want overtime? - No, thanks.

Hey.

You'll see your dad at the launch later, right?

Yeah.

Talk to him for me.

- Okay. - Okay?

-I'll find a chance. -Come on. We all really need a raise.

- Bye. - Bye.

HSIU-WEN

- Hello? - Chien-wu.

Are you sure your friend's coming?

She hasn't replied to me at all.

She hasn't replied to you?

No. But I've got everything ready for her tasting.

Can you get in touch with her?

Okay, I'm on it. Bye.

The sauce hasn't been emulsified with the pasta at all.

I QUIT

- -

You okay?

We're late. We have to go.

I'm not going!

If I have to praise Chang Xin, I'm not going.

No, you don't have to.

Just say whatever you want. Be my guest.

Everyone says that, but can't take it when I tell the truth.

I won't go.

You restaurant people piss me off.

You don't respect me.

Please, Yi-hsuan. I'll be dead if you don't go. It's true.

Give it back!

Let me hit you with the ball, and I'll go.

- Hit where? - Your face.

Right in your face.

Are you an idiot?

How could you take those online rants seriously?

You told your followers. I thought that it was true.
