If it wasn't for Modigliani, I'd never go to that party.
They're too busy flaunting their money to care about the party.
Still…
you need to meet all sorts of people
to broaden your horizons.
-Because what's real can -Because what's real can
-only be found within the world. -only be found within the world.
By the way,
what have you been munching on?
Are you having chips?
Da-li, have you been skipping your meals because you've been studying?
How many days did you starve this time?
I didn't starve.
Don't lie.
A true adult never skips meals or loses sleep.
Didn't I tell you numerous times
to at least set an alarm so that you won't forget to eat?
Who cares if you're the youngest person with that title or have a doctorate
if you can't even eat properly?
Is there no food?
I'm sure there is.
I'm sure Ms. Prinsen bought some food.
It feels like I'm in Korea.
What?
Hearing you nag makes me feel like I'm home right now.
You little brat. Don't change the subject.
I miss you, Dad.
It's been way too long, hasn't it?
Goodness. Don't pretend to miss me
when you can't even eat properly. Goodness.
Speaking of which, I'm planning to make time to visit.
I'd like to say hi to Director Koch.
But most of all, I need to check on you.
Once this exhibition is over…
What?
Hello?

DONDON F&B FW SEASON NEW MENU EXHIBITION
This premium gamjatang has been created to be served
at five-star hotels.
This dish will be able to satisfy the needs of our diverse
and sophisticated guests.
I guarantee it.
The meat tastes different.
I knew it. You have a discerning palate.
To suit the concept of a premium dish at a 5-star hotel,
we handpicked the best cuts of Iberian pork,
which is one of the top four delicacies in the world.
and prepared it accordingly.
I see.
It's no wonder.
While eating this I felt like I was a matador, fighting for his life
under the hot, burning sun.
I knew it.
Here you go.
This is fried rice to finish off the dish.
Regular fried rice can't hold a candle to this.
Instead of using flying fish roe,
I used Russian caviar
and cooked it on high heat.
This is unbelievable.
Do you mean this is the same caviar Russians use
when cooking food for their tzars?
This is the most sophisticated Korean dish that we can share with the world.
What a load of garbage.
A load of…
Sorry?
Tell me.
How much will this cost?
The cost…
Befitting the terms "premium" and a "five-star hotel",
a medium-size
will cost 180,000 won.
So 180,000…
Sorry?
So 180,000 won?
I don't think you understand.
Iberian pork and Russian caviar are quite expensive so…
What is gamjatang ?
It's a filling, inexpensive dish for regular people.
That's what it is.
Inexpensive, plentiful, and filling!
That's what it needs to be.
Iberian pig? Caviar?
Why do we need to be reminded of Spain and matadors while eating this?
It was a poetic way of explaining the taste.
What a load of garbage.
It really isn't…
Come on.
I didn't postpone my business trip to hear this load of garbage.
This business trip is worth 20 billion won.
Understand?
Give me my money's worth.
Please!
Gosh.
Darn it.
An attendant will be waiting for you when you land,
so you won't have to do anything.
The team and I will depart as soon as the legal advice is carried out.
By the way,
about that "tzar"…
What gives that scumbag the right to have the caviar all to himself?
Well…
It's not some scumbag, it means a Russian emperor.
I see. A Russian emperor.
You could've just said "Russian emperor." Did you want to show off by using English?
It's Russian, not English.
I know. I know that. Don't take it so literally.
If it means a Russian emperor, of course it's a Russian word, not English.
"Tzar"! It sounds Russian.
It also sounds the same in English.
By the way,
will you be wearing that watch?
You'll have to declare it at customs. And it's very expensive.
What are you talking about?
Luxury items should be worn at times like this.
If not, why would I buy such an expensive watch
when my phone can tell the time too?
I see.
Look.
I need to wear this to astound them.
FATHER
Yes?
Did you lend money without my knowing?
What do you mean all of a sudden?
Hey. Did you lend money to an art gallery or a museum?
I never…
Do you think I have money to burn?
I'd be crazy to lend them money.
Then why did Cheongsong Museum of Art send you a chamber pot?
When I asked, they said it was a token of gratitude for the loan.
Jeez. What is wrong with him?
Whatever. I know nothing about that. I'm sure they were mistaken.
But you shouldn't break their chamber pot.
Let Ms. Yeo take care of it. I'll send her to you.
Enough with this. Where are you right now?
You had a tasting today for our new dish. Are you still at work?
I'm not at work right now.
I'm at the airport. I'm going on a business trip today.
For the contract deal with the Pork Association in the Netherlands.
Postpone your business trip. Come back right now!
-Come back here and… -Dad.
My flight is about to take off. I have to hang up.
Hello?
What is this?
No…
Gosh…
You brat.
How dare you?
Hey!
Stop right there!
You brat! Hey!
Stop right there!
I'll go and earn my keep!
You brat! You're dead meat when you come back!
-Don't just stand there! Pull it out! -Yes, sir.
Pull it out now!
Yes, sir.
The number you have dialed cannot be reached.
Come on, answer the phone.
A gallery?
It's not just some gallery. It's Cheongsong Museum of Art.
I'm sure you know that not getting invited to their year-end party
would cause people to look down on you no matter how much money you have.
Why would a prominent gallery like that want to borrow money from me?
To be precise, it's an investment.
Cheongsong Museum of Art would make a fortune
if they were to sell one of their paintings.
Why would they need our money?
Then tell them to sell their paintings.
Come on, man.
How much longer do you want to be looked down on
as the son of a gamjatang restaurant owner?
-What? -Money isn't the only prerequisite
to being in the upper class.
We need status.
That's why we need Cheongsong Museum of Art.
So are you telling me that lending money to Cheongsong Museum of Art
will give us status as wealthy men?
No one uses words like "wealthy" anymore.
It's all about the inner circle.
Look, this is how you network.
It's how you do business.
Korea has always been like this.
Forget it.
I'm not interested in this nonsense. I'm off.
Are you brushing me off because I'm not your biological brother?
-Gi-cheol. -If I were his biological son,
I wouldn't…
grovel to you like this.
It's just that this is a great opportunity. That's all.
Please?
The number you have dialed…
Whatever.
It was my money. What can Dad do about that?
Right.
