Wok of Love (기름진 멜로)

Are you the one who abandoned me?

Are you my mother?

No.

No, I'm not.

How can you call someone who abandoned their kid a mother?

I'm not your mother.

I...

never had a mother,

so I'm not sure what to do.

No. I'm not your mother.

No.

I'm not your mother.

Here.

Why are you crying?

You didn't do anything right.

I'm crying because I didn't do anything right.

I'm crying because all I did was wrong.

I'm sorry you found out.

Don't ever come here again.

I'm...

used to not having a mother.

And it's more comfortable that way.

Let's go.

I...

don't remember anything.

I know I was abandoned in a Chinese restaurant...

while eating jajangmyeon...

and sweet and sour pork.

Because I heard it from the police.

I don't remember your face...

or the fact that I had...

a mother.

Since then, whenever I have jajangmyeon,

I never have sweet and sour pork with it. No,

I can't eat them together.

- Chil Seong. - Don't talk.

Just listen to me.

You know what?

I couldn't even become a cavalry.

I couldn't join the army because I was an orphan.

I also couldn't go to college because I was a gangster. But...

I have my guys that are like family.

I also have a nice car.

The Chinese restaurant is mine.

So is this building.

I'm successful. I'm living a good life.

I came here...

to look you in the face...

and tell you this.

I want to tell you that...

I have no hatred nor regrets like you.

Like you,

there is nothing I want from you.

Can I ask you something?

Yes.

Why did you abandon me at a Chinese restaurant?

I...

loved Chinese food the most.

Goodness.

You were...

You were selfish until the very end.

You went to your favorite restaurant to abandon your child.

You finished your favorite jajangmyeon...

and abandoned your kid.

The owner of the restaurant...

looked like a good guy.

So I thought, if I left you there,

at least you wouldn't starve.

Then you should've at least paid.

If you were leaving your kid behind, you should've at least paid!

You made your kid a thief...

and got him sent to the police and get ridiculed!

Don't worry.

I...

didn't linger around to make you feel uncomfortable.

It was two dollars.

Two dollars.

Only two freaking dollars!

You didn't want to spend two dollars...

when you abandoned your kid.

You should've spent...

that two freaking dollars when you abandoned your child.

Eat jajangmyeon. Eat sweet and sour pork.

Eat everything you want.

I'll buy.

Good work.

- Geok Jeong. - Sae Woo.

This is a dream, isn't it?

A nice dream.

It's a dream, a good dream.

Seol Ja.

- Yes? - Thank you.

Yes, chef.

I love you. Thanks for staying.

- Maeng Dal. Thank you. - Sure.

- Okay. - Thank you.

Yes. Everyone. Dishwasher.

Now you're a server, not a dishwasher.

Jeong Hae, thank you so much.

Yes, chef.

I love you.

Dong Sik and Gang Ho. Good work. I love you.

I love you.

Chi Su and I Man. Thank you so much.

Thanks so much.

Let's serve the customers well and make 100 hotel customers...

to our customers no matter what.

Do you understand?

- Yes, chef! - Yes, chef!

If you're thinking about going to Hungry Wok,

we'll make you an irresistible offer.

- Pardon? - If they're charging you...

18 dollars per person,

we'll let you have...

our 70-dollar course meal...

for 18 dollars.

You'll get to enjoy a 70-dollar meal for 18 dollars.

We'll provide you with a better venue, atmosphere,

and service, ma'am.

It's so dark.

Darn it.

Are you coming up with a menu already, chef?

Aren't you tired?

Go home.

It already looks good.

You don't know what I'm making though.

There will be about 100 surgeons and nurses.

What will they like?

- Bring the cold rice. - Yes, chef.

Put it in.

Are you making fried rice?

I'm thinking.

How about jajangmyeon and sweet and sour pork?

They always had the meeting at the hotel every month,

so they probably didn't have jajangmyeon.

Jajangmyeon and sweet and sour pork?

Jajangmyeon is the most common food,

but if it's really good, you want to have it...

all the time.

Here.

Make sure it gets seasoned well.

Salt.

- Pepper too. - Pepper.

Wok, ladle, wok, ladle, wok, ladle...

Get rid of all the moisture.

Put it on a plate.

Okay, chef.

It's nice to see you eat so well these days.

Since I have a chef beside me, there's so much good food to eat.

Here.

Should I make fried rice into sushi...

and place red crab on top?

One more.

It's good.

Go after you finish.

I'll clean this up.

Are you going to sleep here again?

I'm staying with Chil Seong upstairs.

Do you live there?

Yes.

Did you move in with him?

I'm thinking about it.

What do you like about Chil Seong to choose him over me?

It's incomparable.

You said you like us equally.

You said you like him just as much as you like him.

If you like us equally, that means you compared us.

He's Chil Seong, and you're you.

Should I make jajangmyeon?

People crave noodles when it's a good day.

This is Hungry Wok.

I called Finishing Touch to cancel our reservation,

and Master Wang offered to cook our usual menu...

for 18 dollars.

I'm sorry for going back and forth.

I'll have to cancel with you and go to the hotel instead.

- I'm sorry. - Wait, hold on. Ma'am?

Then you must already know what kind of food you'll get...

with the 70-dollar course.

I'll give you a preview of what we'll serve...

for 18 dollars.

Please give me a chance.

You can have a tasting session first.

It won't be too late to cancel later.

I'm begging you.

Hungry Wok says they'll prepare a tasting...

to show me what they'll serve.

I couldn't say no when they went so far.

Would it be all right...

for me to go and taste their food before making...

Then, we will introduce you to a new menu too.

Tell us what you'd like to eat.

Actually, even though it's common,

I want to eat the most delicious jajangmyeon...

and sweet and sour pork.

We don't normally make jajangmyeon.

Jajangmyeon?

Hungry Wok is making it for me.

Jajangmyeon?

We'll also make it for you.
