ALL CHARACTERS, PLACES, COMPANIES,

AND INCIDENTS IN THIS DRAMA ARE FICTITIOUS

Ladies and gentlemen.

We'll be arriving at Athens Airport, shortly.

For your safety and comfort, please remain seated

with your seat belt fastened until the seat belt sign is switched off.

Please check around your seat

for any personal belongings you may have on board.

Please use caution when opening the overhead bins,

as heavy objects may have shipped around...

Are you that happy?

-Are you? -Yes.

I had a huge crush on her.

I used to come here every day after work just to see her from afar like this.

I still can't believe that Moon Cha-young is my girlfriend now.

I can't believe

that Kwon Min-seong is head over heels for a girl

and doesn't even care whether his buddy is hungry or not.

Sorry. You said you haven't eaten all day.

You told me not to eat anything

because I have to taste your girlfriend's food.

It'd better be good.

Even if you end up falling for Cha-young, just swallow your feelings.

I refuse to end up in a love triangle with you.

I guarantee that you'll fall for her the moment you taste her food.

That happened to me.

I can't take this anymore. I'm off.

Hey, where are you going?

Don't even call me

until you break up

or become less love-blind.

Hey, where do you think you're going? Are you jealous?

Fine, I am jealous. You prick.

I'm jealous because I'm starving.

EPISODE 3

I want Cha-young's handmade dumpling stew.

My wish is to eat it at least one more time before I die.

I'll catch you.

Caught you!

-Hi! -Hi.

Sorry.

I came to find Cha-young Moon from Korea.

I heard that she works here.

Cha-young is participating at a cooking contest.

-Cooking contest? -Yes.

The cooking contest will soon begin.

If you're not a contestant, please

take a seat in the stand. Thank you.

Cha-young wants to break up.

Hey.

Why? Why does she want to break up all of a sudden?

I don't know. This is just my gut-feeling.

But I think there's another guy.

Another guy? Who?

Who is this bastard?

I don't think

I can let her go. What do I do?

Now, we have five minutes left before time is up!

Chefs, please put the final touches on your plate.

Time is almost up.

Audience, can you countdown with me, please?

And three, two, one!

End of time, end of time!

Please step back from your tables. End of time.

Please raise your hand if you would like to taste

the foods of these amazing chefs.

I will do it.

An important client is visiting me.

I don't think I can make it to the movie.

I'm sorry, but watch the movie with Kang.

I'll eat with you after the movie.

I'm really sorry.

Cha-young.

Where's Min-seong?

I'm going to Greece.

I can't stop myself

from falling for him.

I miss him.

So...

I'm going to a place where I can never see him.

I enjoyed it. Thank you.

Contestant number five, Elio Bocelli.

-Bravo! -Bravo!

Contestant number 19, Vasilis Gheorghiu.

And contestant number 23, Cha-young Moon.

What just happened? Did she pass? Did she?

My gosh, thank you. Thank you so much!

These three contestants have received the highest scores.

The chefs who didn't have their names called out,

please take a seat in the stand.

Wait.

Let's talk for a minute.

Min-seong thinks you're seeing another man.

Is it true?

Yes.

Can I ask who...

Can you change your mind?

Min-seong loves you very much.

I'm sorry.

Did you even love him?

Min-seong

is too good for me.

He deserves to be with someone who's better--

Did you

even love Min-seong?

I'm in love with someone else.

To our judge from the audience, where are you coming to us from?

I came from South Korea.

I knew it, Korea!

Go get them, Korea

Yes, thank you.

One of our remaining contestants is Korean.

Are you sure you didn't show her any favor?

No comment.

Until that day When Mount Baekdu is worn away

-Stop, stop singing, please. -Okay, thank you, thank you!

Thank you.

Our handsome judge.

We asked for your unbiased evaluation, please.

Okay. Cha-young Moon's food

is exquisite and most delightful.

The bold decision to match seafood with red wine

was quite daring and sexy.

That's a compliment, right? He complimented her food.

But also, conniving and heartless.

What do you mean by "conniving and heartless"?

One of Cha-young Moon's dishes, the consommé ,

was actually made using the base of a

korean dish, gomtang .

She put the same vegetables and spices

used in this dish.

Then, she garnished and chilled it to serve it with wine,

and received the highest score from the judges.

But if you truly knew how hard gomtang is,

and if you have ever tried it hot,

then, you understand that Cha-young Moon

butchered it in order to make her consommé .

You know that she took the distinctive base of gomtang

and sacrificed it.

If...

... gomtang is a 80 point dish,

then Cha-young Moon's consommé is 30 points.

-Goodness. -Interesting.

He's praising her food, right?

As a Korean,

I want to express my disappointment and grief

to Chef Cha-young Moon by subtracting

fifty points.

My, he's going to taste her food now. That means she's the winner.

Right? That's why he's tasting it.

I bet it's so good. I'm sure it's delicious.

Why is he calling them over?

Is that prick really Korean?

How could he bash a fellow Korean like that?

Where should I go now?

What kind of question is that? Go to work.

I'm going to catch that jerk and beat him up.

Damn it!

I barely managed to escape all the way here.

Where else can I go now?

COOKING FESTIVAL WITH ROMANÉE CHANTÉ

I'm on a work trip for a conference.

I'm in Beijing, China.

You're getting your work done even when your buddy is practically dying.

- You selfish prick. -I know.

You thought I was very loyal, didn't you?

I've been fooling you all along, you idiot.

Have you eaten?

-Cha-young, check the seafood. -Yes.

-Cha-young, give me the white wine. -Yes.

-Cha-young! -Yes!

Yes?

Can you come out for a second?

There's a Korean customer who speaks no English.

He's looking for something that's not on the menu.

-Okay. -Hurry.

Hello.

Hello.

I'd like to order dumpling stew, to go.

I'm sorry, but this is an Italian restaurant.

It's not on our menu, and taking it to go is--

That is why

I am asking you personally.

I'm sorry.

I don't think I can make dumpling stew for you.

It's a little far from here, but there's a Korean restaurant. You should go there.

What is the most expensive wine you have?

That would be the El Château le Doyen 2000, sir.

Excuse me, didn't you say you didn't speak English?

I did, didn't I?

I will take a bottle while waiting for my order.

Of course, sir. Right away. Yes.

Cha-young!

The Korean customer will wait. He ordered the most expensive bottle of wine we have

and even gave me a huge tip. Please make the dish he wants.

I'll make it for you.

But not during our regular hours because I'm too busy.

If you're willing to wait until the restaurant is closed,

I will make dumpling stew for you.
