Midnight Diner (Late Night Restaurant / 심야식당 / Simyashikdang)

About the time when people are returning home after finishing their day,

my day starts.

This is the only menu. [Home

Beer, Makgeolli Booze 0 bottle per customer]

The rest is how they order.

My policy is to make them as ordered, whenever possible.

The hours of operation are from midnight to 7am.

You ask if customers can find this restaurant

on a winding path and in an obscure location?

The answer is quite a bit.

Episode 7 Ginseng Chicken Soup

Since today is one of the dog days, let's all have ginseng chicken soup. (Koreans have three dog days

in the summer representing the hot days and they eat healthy food on those days to remedy the heat)

Yes!

It's not necessary. This place make the food to your order.

What I hate the most is when meat is soaked in water.

You have to think about who cooked it.

Didn't you say you don't like to have different foods on the same table?

I don't hate it, I don't.

I like that the most.

Whatever...I was trying to give you healthy food.

Okay, order whatever you want to eat.

Yeah!

Where is a person like that for me?

What should eat? I had something in mind just before.

I want tteokbokki hot enough to make me cry.

Why would you have that at a place like this? Eat something else!

Of course, what's wrong with you...

This man's name is Seung Kyoon. He's the owner of a near by cafe.

He frequently brings his employees here for dinner.

We have to order, is there anything you want to eat?

I just like anything.

"Anything" is the most scary world a girl can say.

Even if they say "anything".

"Guess what I like and try to order" hasn't it this meaning?

Order.

No, no. You eat it.

It's so much, I can't eat it all by myself.

Eat this too.

Oh you are doing good.

Here.

Oh my! It's so tasty.

Thank you for the food!

I think I gained weight.

-We will come back again. -Yeah.

Oh my... Those two must be dating.

The President and the girl near who ate the chicken broth.

100%! 100%!

I am keen on that area.

Maybe it was like that.

I didn't want to believe it, but it was true. On top of that, they were...

Marriage?

What do you mean marriage? How old are you now?

So what? You were married at 20 years of age too!

Compared to that, I am one year older than that.

Quiet!

Excuse me... you.

But...How old are you this year?

What do you mean? He is not old.

You don't act that way when the parents are speaking.

Yes.

First... I am sorry.

I am a lot older than He Ri.

How old are you?

I was born in the year of Ox, that is in 1973.

You! This guy!

Honey!

Excuse me...

P-Please leave before her brother comes home.

You must be crazy! Crazy!

He should act his age...

He is playing on child's game!... Mom!

Sorry...

They are not overreacting...There is 21 years of age difference.

21 years old? You must have saved the universe in your past life.

What is wrong with that? Jung Woo Sung and Lee Jung Jae

are the same age as my Oppa.

Then bring Jung Woo Sung or Lee Jung Jae home instead.

My Oppa is looks better 100 times over than them.

What a joke... Do you live by looks?

Ahew! This idiot!

You are lacking nothing, so why would you marry that old man?

He is not an old man!

Be quiet! I barely got your father to sleep feeding him some alcohol.

You used tell me it is better to meet an older guy

than meeting a same aged guy like you and dad.

The age gap should be an acceptable gap.

Even If you have a child not, he will be 50 years

old when the child enters elementary school.

People would think his grandchild is entering the school.

That's why I need to marry him now before it's too late.

Can you say that to your mother?

I told you there is no benefit for a woman marrying early.

If I feel this is the man for me, then it is better

for me to get married sooner and live together.

Are you playing?...

That's because you don't know!

I still regret,

that I didn't date more guys and marry in later age.

Because you are in love,

everything looks good about that old man.

Just give it more time, you'll wonder why you liked that man then.

I won't.

Because you've said that to me so much, I dated a lot of guys since high school.

But I can't see anybody like my Oppa.

There are plenty of guys like that. You will see a truckful

of guys like that if you live your life little longer.

Mom! I said it won't happen!

You go out and ask the people if this situation is right.

Frankly, it is understandable.

Her parents...

That is my future mother and father in laws are a year younger than me.

They met when they were twenty and had her.

That is ero-erotic.

So what is wrong with it?

The problem is not my Oppa being too old but my parents are too young.

So why did you have so young?

You and dad did the wrong from the beginning.

I had the kelp soup after giving birth to you...

Does your Oppa or whatever knows about you doing this?

Of course. My Oppa said I am pretty whatever I do.

He is crazy too.

Of course that's why he was here.

Stop playing around and end it.

If you keep it up like that...

I just might cause an accident like you and dad did.

Is that something you should be talking about to me now?

Oh! Oppa...No,no. So give me your permission. I am all grown up anyway.

Mom! Honestly, what if my belly gets big?

If you do that, I will break you legs.

Just do it and make a baby first.

I don't want to do that.

Why not?

That is not even considered shame these days.

I want to marry her with proper permission.

I feel like an older man stealing his bride already...

I don't want to push it while disappointing the elders.

Ah this customer is not in a hurry.

My family is rushing me to get married.

But for her, It's once in a lifetime wedding,

I want her to make an entrance with both of our family's blessings.

Ahew! Why is so difficult? And I am getting calls tonight either.

Living is lonely. Lonely, lonely.

Ultimately, his fiancée's phone was taken away that day.

And locked in her house.

She ran away again today.

So, how many month has it been already?

Her father even shaved her head, so she wrapped her head in a scarf.

She is something.

But to the lovers in love,

the obstacles are like the magic potion making their love more desperate.

Do you think she is after the president's money?

She has many younger siblings.

She was working to earn her own tuition.

But still... Why?

The president's family is rich too and I heard his siblings as well.

So what? He is only the owner of a cafe.

Are you nuts?

Do you even know how much that cafe is worth?

That is not just a cafe. It is a franchise.

I heard he made it.
