01x04 - Cheesy, But Destiny

Post by bunniefuu »

LINK

Thinking back, it began a long time ago.

I, Noh Dahyun,
have always suffered because of men.


-I told you to get out of my way.
-Some people

grew up in the same neighborhood

-as those who became celebrities.
-Jeez. Stop it.

But as you can see…

Despite all the decent men in the world,

the ones I ended up with were…

Let's mix them together.

…filthy.

My mom told me to break up. Sorry!

-Mom…
-A mama's boy.

I'm here.

-A cheater.
-Hey, Dahyun.

You crazy…

And I was continuously
surrounded by perverts.


And plenty of them at that.

I thought I had a decent superior.

But he turned out to be
a habitual molester.


Mom!

And that crazy stalker
turned me into a m*rder*r.


So I promised myself…

that I would never get involved
with another man ever again.


But then…

You came into my life.

Who did this to you? Answer me.

Would you like some food?

What should I do?

I think…

I've developed feelings for you.

Perhaps, this was the confession
that I wanted to make.


But instead, I said…

I k*lled someone.

It's safe to say

that I've gone insane.

CHEESY, BUT DESTINY

Can you k*ll someone for me?

Hey, what will you do
about your belly fat?

Dance to the beat. Come on!

One, two.

Am I dreaming?

How can we have the same dream?

Damn it.

-Watch your language.
-Don't hit me.

So we're not dreaming.

No, we're not.

Did I go too far with my joke?
Was that too terrifying?

Don't take it so seriously.

I'm terrible at reading the room.

I talk nonsense at times.

And I'm a bit drunk too.

-And you k*lled someone too.
-That's right.

No, I didn't.

How did it happen?

I said it was a joke.

Who else knows about this?

I tend to make
a slip of the tongue at times.

We all make mistakes.

Of course. I know that very well.

You lied about having feelings for me.

You trespassed into my restaurant.

I see you and your family
peeking in here all the time.

You hide or run
whenever you see the police.

I'm sure they're all honest mistakes.

That's just--

Sure, I can understand everything
up to that.

But how could you… k*ll someone?

How will you take care of this?

What if people get wind of this?

They won't.
You're the only one who knows about this.

So you acknowledged it.

I didn't.

In any case, I'd appreciate it
if you could keep this a secret--

Secrets spread like wildfire
the moment you talk about it.

It's not a secret anymore
once you open up to someone.

I only did it because I trusted you.

Why would you trust me?
Don't trust anyone.

If you continue telling others about this,

it's only a matter of time
the police get you.

Do you understand me?

Yes, I do.

Great.

You're threatening me
and saying you'd expose it.

-This isn't a threat--
-You know what?

The first time is always the hardest.

Then it gets easier from then on.

Did you see it?

I did.

When a married woman has wounds
on her body, it's pretty obvious.

Eight out of ten times, the culprit is…

Shut up! Will you just shut up?

Honey, please!

Hey, wait a minute.
I think I got the hang of it.

I feel bad but still…

This isn't right.

How dare she threaten us? I'm speechless.

If we say no…

She'll report us to the police.

Darn it.

I won't sympathize.

Anyone that knows about the incident

and gets in the way of Dahyun…

I'll get rid of them.

Are you threatening to k*ll me right now?

Of course not. I'm just saying. But…

But?

Sometimes what we say becomes true.

So you are threatening me.

I'm just saying we should both
be careful of what we say.

Gyehoon.

I…

-k*lled…
-Someone.

Gyehoon, I…

-k*lled…
-Someone.

Gyehoon.

-I k*lled…
-I k*lled someone.

-I k*lled someone.
-I k*lled someone.

To a guy who makes my heart flutter
for the first time in years,


I confessed today

that I k*lled someone,

and I threatened
to k*ll him too if need be.


Should we bury that scumbag?

We can't bury them
every time we become annoyed.

This country isn't that big to begin with.

You're right. It's a pity
that we live in a small country.

If push comes to shove, we must do it.

Dahyun…

should never find out.

Of course not. She should be in the dark.

EPISODE 4

Tell that thing to come and eat, Mom.

Jeez. That's no way
to talk about your daughter.

Dahyun, get ready for breakfast.

Please tell her
that this thing isn't hungry, Grandma.

Tell that thing to watch what she says

and to just eat while I'm being nice, Mom.

Tell her that this thing
is too terrified to eat, Grandma.

Ask that thing
to just zip it and eat, Mom.

Ask her how I'm supposed to eat
if I can't open my mouth, Grandma.

She can't eat with her mouth shut.

-That little--
-What? Are you going to bury me too?

I said I didn't want to eat.

Just leave me alone.

And if I do? Tell me.

-Will you manage on your own?
-Go away.

You weren't born to make your mom proud?

-You want to make your own decisions?
-That hurts!

Then you go
and part-time at his restaurant?

A passing dog would laugh.
Just keel over from laughing so hard.

Look here! Look at me!

We need a new fridge too.

I wonder if I can get one secondhand.

Did you find what you were looking for?

I remember it now.

That day,

I felt her fear.

What? What is it?

You startled me.

What did I do?

Why are you here already?

Should I be scolded for coming early?

I'm certain it was in here.
Where did it go?

What? What are you talking about?

Was it you?

Me? What do you mean?

Are you hiding anything from me?

Jeez. What could I possibly
be hiding from…

I'd like to know
if these two are brother and sister.

It's a matter of utmost importance.
The fate of someone is on the line.

-What is this?
-What?

What do you mean?

Come clean already.

I'm not hiding anything.

Tell me.

What have you done?

I'll come clean later.

Do it now.

Gyehoon, don't you trust me?

I'll tell you when it's time.

I don't trust you. I don't trust anyone.

Who is the most suspicious neighbor?

All of them. Every single one of them.

That's a good one.

-Bye.
-See you.

But the most suspicious ones are…

-Bye.
-Don't go. Hey.

MOTHER'S TASTE
CHOONOK STEW

-Bye.
-Just quit.

Take that hood off.

-Hello, ladies.
-Hey.

Hello.

You got a job?

Yes, I need to go back soon.

At a nearby restaurant?

Yes. Why?

Why would you get a job there
with your skills and academic background?

Life doesn't always go your way.

Forget about that. What's with your face?

What's going on?

Look at those dark circles.

It's unbearable to see.

I couldn't sleep a wink last night.

-You see…
-Yes?

Never mind.

You see, there's this guy.

He treats me well.

But he says he doesn't like me
and tells me not to like him either.

-But he's still nice to me.
-That's sympathy.

But he's not the type
to sympathize with anyone.

He feels a bit dangerous, cold,

and terrifying.

He threatens me too.

-Just like you?
-Me?

Yes. What did you do to Mr. Lee Jingeun?

What?

Don't you have something to do with it?

What do you mean?

He said you guys were dating.

But you said he was stalking you.

After making different claims,

he disappeared.

He pretty much vanished into thin air.

Well… I'm pretty sure he's doing well.

Someone came by.

They said they couldn't reach him
and didn't even know if he was alive.

Who? Who was it?

I think they said they were family.

Why didn't it cross my mind

that Lee Jingeun had family?

I don't know the details.

But be careful.

That person looked a bit strange.

I sensed craziness in their eyes.

Hey, honey.

Honey!

Hello.

Are you guilty of something?

-Sorry?
-You just seemed pretty startled.

Jeez. You look a bit rough today,
but you're still beautiful.

Thank you.

Let's go. I passed the interview.

We'll be working together.
How great is that?

I see.

What do I do? I'm on cloud nine.

Let's see how this pans out
for the next three months.

Then we'll talk further.

Sure. That'll be more than enough time.

In many ways.

By the way,
what's the name of our restaurant?

I haven't come up with one yet.

When will we open?

I have no set date yet,
but it'll happen soon.

Your target customers?

My target customers?

I haven't decided on that yet.

But I'll probably target the epicures
who enjoy culture and art.

-There are none in this neighborhood.
-Exactly.

With these luxury ingredients?

-Can you even make a profit?
-Exactly.

I haven't calculated it yet,
but I'll try to fit the budget.

That's strange.

Most chefs move as a team

even when they find a new job
or open up their own restaurant.

But why is it just you two?

How could I bring

my beloved subordinates here
when I can't even guarantee our success?

Then what does that make me?

You're… You're here
because I just adored you too much

to let you be on your own.

You'll pay us, right?

Do you make enough profit?

He must be well-off.

From what I know, he's pretty comfortable.

Your parents must be wealthy.

This world is just so darn unfair.

You can say that again.

That was a nice one.

But why here of all places?

Why would you open a restaurant here
when you're well-off and famous?

Well…

I want to improve the neighborhood economy

and help the unemployed youth.

Are you a politician?

Are you running for office?

Ms. Noh, make sure
you thoroughly read the manuals.

Especially the cleaning manual.

Chef Lee, you have your own knife, right?

I need a new one.

If it's okay with you, you can use ours.

Sure. I'll take a look at it.

Right. The knife.

Excuse me. The knife.

Right.

This.

You bought these limited edition knives
made from olive trees from Sicily.

-Right.
-One of the knives is missing.

I can't find it anywhere. Where did it go?

What?

No, I didn't use a knife.

-Where are you?
-I'm here. Why?

What were you doing?

I was looking for this.
You're going to have some coffee?

Yeah, I will.

-I'll boil the water.
-I got it.

Have you gone crazy?

Sorry?

You threatened to k*ll me
if I didn't watch what I said.

But you're the one spilling everything.

-Right.
-And you didn't use a knife?

Then what did you use?

Right.

What's wrong?
Why don't you just tell everyone about it?

-Right.
-What's with this reaction?

Don't tell me something else happened.

"That dead guy's family
is looking for me."


"My mom and grandma
are scheming to k*ll someone else."


"Right. And you're not an exception."

I can't tell you that, can I?

Nothing happened. I'm completely fine.

Don't lie to me.
I know you're nervous and anxious.

-I'm not.
-You can't fool me.

Your thoughts and emotions can be--

What about my thoughts and emotions?

I can tell them
just by looking at your face.

-Really?
-Really.

You're very easy to read.

Anyway,

let's both be careful.

Okay?

I have a question.

What is it?

Why are you so…

concerned about me?

You're giving me the wrong idea.

What are you looking at?

Is there something going on between them?

Not at all. Never.

I see.

It should be that way.

You're Lee Jingeun's girlfriend after all.

Where in the world did you hide him?

Eunjung.

Do you have feelings for Gyehoon?

-No.
-Then do you have feelings for Dahyun?

You're funny.

Don't act so friendly toward me
all of a sudden.

You're making me flustered and happy.

What is it?

It's nothing.

"Hello, here is the result
of the DNA test you requested."

I'm so nervous.

You're a grown man. Why do you want me
to walk with you in this cold weather?

I told you.
This neighborhood creeps me out.

Just say it.
I know you have something to tell me.

Why did you move here?

What's the real reason?

Why are you so curious?

Was it really to find your sister?

No.

Then?

I am looking for someone.

But it's not her.

Then who is it?

Tell me.

You must be tired. Go rest up.

Okay. We'll talk again tomorrow.

Okay.

I know…

who you are.

You also

recognize me, don't you?

Yes.

I do.

Are you…

also back to k*ll me?

What if I did?

Do you know why…

I haven't acted on it yet?

If it really was you…

If I find proof that you did it…

Once I know for sure…

Then…

I'll k*ll you myself.

What's going on?

What are you doing?

He greeted me, so I said hello back.
Is that a problem?

Mr. Han, come with me.

And you, chef.

Go home.

I'm watching you.

With my eyes wide open.

Here you go, ma'am.

Thanks.

Has the Geumdo Villa k*ller
been caught yet?

I'm not sure. Beats me.

…Ma'am. And I'm not curious either, ma'am.

You have no sense of duty.

I would if they raised my salary.

I'm barely getting paid any right now.

Can you believe the guy
who urinates publicly did it?

A suspect of a cold case?

-Still--
-Jihwamadang-ro 31.

A drunk man got in an argument,

-vomited, and fainted.
-Again?

This is patrol 11. We're on it.

Let's go.

This is the third time
a drunk has vomited tonight.

Gosh, I'm already getting nauseous.

I won't be having an appetite
for some time.

Hey, damn it!

Do you know who I am?

Are you okay, sir? Wake up.

Open the door!

Who are you guys?

Don't do anything foolish.

Officer Ji.

Get up, sir.

Who are you?

Hey, it's you.

The police lady.

Wake up and go home.

Let's go. I should get home.

Officer Ji.

I'm sorry.

Sorry.

Gosh. I'm sorry.

MOTHER'S TASTE
CHOONOK STEW

We had no idea all these years.

In the past, I was able to hide my wounds.

But something
must've gotten to him lately.

He became even worse.

Hiding your wounds
doesn't change the fact that he beat you.

Why would you hide them
when he's the one to blame?

Have you reported him to the police?

And if they let him go?

"Let's die together.
I'll k*ll you then k*ll myself as well."

He always says that.

Then you could've just run away.

Do you think that didn't cross my mind?

You see, I have many family members.

My mom is still alive and well.

I have sisters,

a brother, and their kids.

It's obvious
that he'll harass them if I run away.

So how can I be selfish
and run away just to save myself?

How can I?

It'll break my mom's heart
if she ever finds out that he beats me.

She's the one person
who shouldn't know about this.

You gained weight.

You too, Grandma.

Have you been eating
tasty food without me?

I'm bloated from crying all night.

Why did you cry?

Because of you.
Because you're eating away at me.

Did someone come to our restaurant?

Who? What for? Did you do something?

Never mind.

-What is it?
-It's nothing.

What about you?

Did you hear anything?

About someone being hired
or threatened by anyone?

Hired or threatened to do what?

Is something going on?

-No.
-Something's going on.

-It's nothing.
-It's something.

I'm telling you it's not!

Just be quiet and eat.

What is it?

Hey, just leave that there.

I'm stronger than I look.

No, I don't need it.
I already have enough fertilizer.

Darn it. You could've told me sooner.

You do know that the market
is full of vegetables, right?

What's the point of all this?

All chefs dream of using good ingredients
that they grow themselves.

You might as well go fish too.

How did you know?
I fish from time to time.

Of course, you do.

I sense your dissatisfaction
by the way you're shoveling.

That's not true.

Let's make this clear.

No one told you to help me out.

The other two are busy downstairs
developing new recipes.

But as a waitress, I have nothing to do

since we're not even open yet.

It's like placing a desk
in the office hallway

and not giving me any work to do.
You're pushing me to quit.

So I should give this my all.

Speaking from experience?

I have lots of experience
with various things.

What a brat. How dare she?

I'm sorry to say this.

But you're the only hope I have.

I have no choice
but to threaten you with Dahyun.

She continued to threaten us
even while crying.


How infuriating.

Be the bigger person.

Just pity her, and that's that.

I do feel bad for her.

Of course, I do.
I know since I've been beaten before.

Of course. You were a victim as well.

Even still,

this is unacceptable.

What if Dahyun gets hurt?

Be the bigger person.
Nothing good comes out of anger.

You always say that.

You have to be the bigger person.
You must.

But I can't!

Be the bigger person.

You can do it.

Forget it. I can't.

Wait. Mom.

Mom, wait.

Let's not be reckless.
How about we think this over?

Wait. Mom. Hold on. Mom!

Darn it!

Jeez!

Come on!

Mom, where are you going? Hold on!

Damn it…

Hey!

Who the hell are you?

You little… Do you want to die?

Mom!

-Mom!
-Mom, where are you going?

-Why are you following us?
-Just go, both of you!

-Let's talk!
-Just go!

-Just stop!
-Grandma!

Tell me where you're going!

Mom, wait!

Mom!

Why am I looking for her?

Darn it.

-I'm sorry.
-I'm sorry.

We meet again.

Unfortunately, yes.

Mom!

Why…

I'm glad you came. There's--

Stay there! Put that down!

No, you got the wrong idea.

We need back up here.

-This is a misunderstanding.
-We need backup.

-Put that down!
-Come on.

I mean, I will put it down.

He's dying here. How frustrating.

-They're back again?
-Again?

Jeez, do you miss us that much? Do you?

You're regulars here.

What is it this time? Tell me!

Special as*ault.

Look at all those weapons.

Why did you do it?

It wasn't us.

I'm telling you.
He was already down when we arrived.

The whole time.

Then what's all this?

Well… You see… It just happened that…

You just found us
with these tools in our hands.

I know it's hard to believe,
but we're telling the truth.

So you do know. Yes, it's hard to believe.

All right. Did you resent the victim?

Perhaps, money issues?

No, I don't know that man.

What about you two?

So you do know him.

What? Do you?

We just barely know his face.

That's all.

Do you really not remember anything?

Anything will be helpful.

Yes, sir.

Okay.

Call us anytime.

What's going on?

I see. The regulars are here.

Hello.

-Be quiet.
-Yes, sir.

The victim is refusing to testify.

I just spoke with the one
who reported it. The witness.

Just cut to the chase.

The culprit…

was male.

He was tall.

He was wearing a black jacket
and a black hat.

-I'm sorry.
-I'm sorry.

Get up.

How could you bring us here
and threaten us when we were innocent?

Is this the true face
of the Korean police?

How dare you? Who do you think we are?

Minor Offenses Act,
article three, section two.

"The hiding and carrying of a weapon."

"Those who hide and carry tools
without a valid reason

can be fined a maximum of 100,000 won,
detained, or penalized."

That's right. We could fine each of you.

-Should I fine them?
-Hey!

Sir, we're so sorry. We truly are.

This won't ever happen again.

We'll be more careful.

-A hundred thousand won?
-Let's bow.

-Hello.
-Hello.

Why are they still following us?

And why is she there?

Just go. Don't be spotted. I'm humiliated.

She's a bit suspicious.

Here.

You were hired?

Then you should've told me so.

Nothing good
would've come out of telling you.

It's all my fault.

You were asked to be
a contract k*ller all because of me.

It's not your fault.

Those scumbags are to blame.

Let's stop arguing.

Here.

No more arguing, okay?

I'm really sorry.

I'm truly sorry
for what I'm putting you guys through.

Why are you sorry?

I'm too short-tempered for a mom.

I haven't matured one bit.

No, I'm sorry.

-No, I'm sorry.
-Mom…

Goodness.

You fools.

I'm sorry, Mom.

Don't be sorry.

What was that?

Why would you ruin the mood like that?

Jeez.

Gosh, you're ugly.

Wipe your nose.

Take a look in the mirror.

What's wrong with him?

What's going on?

Why is everyone here so weird?

DNA TEST

SAMPLE A: MALE, SAMPLE B: FEMALE

SIBLING PROBABILITY: N

I'm sorry I did it behind your back.

Do you want some coffee? Or tea?

Let me.

-It's okay.
-No, I'll--

I said I'd do it!

Are you okay?

I already knew.

I knew

she couldn't have been Gyeyoung.

They had nothing in common.

I knew long ago

that it wasn't her.

Gyehoon.

I was fooling myself.

I was thinking, "What if?"

Perhaps, I wanted to dream.

My parents were devastated.

My family was destroyed.

Honey, will we be able to eat today?

-Yes. I'm almost done.
-We're hungry.

Thank you for waiting.

-Let's eat.
-This looks good.

-No!
-Why not?

That looks pretty.

I had hope that maybe
we could all smile again.


I didn't want to wake up
from that dream, so I delayed it.


But it's time to wake up now.

Then who in the world is that Wi-Fi girl?

Why are you able

to feel her emotions?

Beats me.

But I'm no longer curious.

However, one thing bothers me.

I have a question.

What is it?

Why are you so…

concerned about me?

You're giving me the wrong idea.

That's when I felt

your feelings toward me.

Over here, honey.

Hey. Have you been waiting long?

No, I just came.

We'll pretty much be family from now on.

I asked you to come today
so we could get to know each other better.

You know it was love at first sight.

You have some refined taste in women.

You're funny.

-Sir.
-Yes?

Seriously?
You never had any luck with men.

"Unlucky" is my middle name.

And I have the worst luck with men.

A decent man means
one of these two things.

He's either taken or putting up a facade.

-You can say that again. Cheers.
-That's right.

So tell me.
Did you meet any guys recently?

No.

-Really?
-Yes.

You so did.

Who is it?

Why? I'm curious.
I wonder who your boyfriend is.

I really want to meet him.

Introduce him to me.

It's not what you think.

You can't meet him.

Why not?

What's the reason? Where did you hide him?

I'm so jealous.
On the other hand, I'm so lonely.

I talked way too much about myself.
What about you?

Is there anyone you like or miss?

Of course, I do.

My little brother.

I cry every night.

Because I miss him so much.

I truly do.

I'm glad you're here.
I bought this for you.

The eel was delicious.

Having creamy food all the time
makes you crave something spicy.

You should have
Korean food too if you're Korean.

-No, thanks.
-It's really scrumptious.

Didn't you hear me?

Aren't you leaving? I am.

I just wanted to give you something
as a thank you

for always treating me to good food.

Did I do something wrong?

No.

Then why are you being like this?

I'm trying to make things right.

Make what right?

The misunderstanding you have.

I've never been concerned about you.

But I definitely felt your concern.

What was that then?

I do admit
that I sympathized with you at times.

But that's it.

I'm going to…

put an end to that as well.

I won't be concerned about you…

ever again.

It's so mind-boggling.

If she's not your twin sister,
why do you feel her emotions?

Or maybe it's this. Destiny.

Destiny?

Isn't that word outdated?

Sure, it's a bit tacky.
But it's not outdated.

Destiny is eternal.

What a load of nonsense.

Right. I remember it now.

There was one decent guy in my life.

I hurt my head when I was little,
so I don't remember much of my past.

I rarely remember anything now.

But there's one thing I still recall.

This one boy shines brightly
among all the nasty guys I've met.

Just go home!

We were here first.

I told you to back off!

Jeez.

Hey!

There's this amazing boy,
but I don't remember anything about him.


Let me go! I said let go!

He always came to my rescue.

NOH DAHYUN

I think…

he must've liked me.

Hey! Come at me!

-Move!
-No, you move!

I think of him occasionally.

I wonder…

what that kid is doing now.

One of the knives is missing.
I can't find it anywhere.

Where did it go?

A missing knife.

A missing body.

It's none of your business.

Butt out.

JINHOO

Hey, when did you say
the knife went missing?

I never said I liked him.

I just had some butterflies. That's all.

How dare he dump me
when I didn't even confess my feelings?

How dare he pity me?

I have something to say.

Me too.

What is it?

You go first.

No.

Let me go first.

Maybe what I wanted to hear

was his apology.

But maybe what I wanted
to hear more than that


was that I was allowed to like him.
His permission.


But…

I think…

he's still alive.

What?

I know this is a strange neighborhood.

But why would someone take a body?

And why did my knife go missing?

That only leads to one answer.

I think that man…

is still alive.

So? And then?

I mean, why hasn't he shown up yet?

Had he been alive,
he would've wanted to retaliate.

I haven't thought that far yet.

We should look for an answer.

We later found out
the answer to this question.


You should've carried it
on your back and run away!

The night of the incident…

-Why not?
-You're ridiculous.

That moment when they panicked
after I had taken the fridge…


What was that?

Sir… Sir.

Sir.

Blood.

Something happened…

to Lee Jingeun.

What did I expect?

Are you okay?

That wasn't what I was expecting to hear.

But in any case, thank you for telling me.

My name is Noh Dahyun.

"Unlucky" is my middle name.

And I have the worst luck with men.

I am not destined

to be with a man.

LINK

If that man is still alive,

you have no reason
to hide from the police.


You're not a m*rder*r.

You're right.

So he knows everything?

Our lives depend on him.

Then we need to get on his good side.

What's your name, Mr. Chef?

My name is Eun Gyehoon.

That kid is him.

Didn't I tell you
that you'll be in trouble?


I truly thought you liked me.

But that wasn't it.

You just thought
I could've been your sister, didn't you?


Can you please tell me
what happened this once?


What in the world happened that day?
