I'm sorry, but lunch hours are over.
Excuse me, but lunch hours are over.
Excuse me?
I'm here to see Hyun Jin-hun. Is he in?
No. He's not in at the moment.
Is he out on business?
Yes. He went on a business trip to Cheju Island.
May I ask who you are?
When will he be back?
Probably... tomorrow afternoon. May I ask who...
Thank you. I'll come back tomorrow.
Sure...
Excuse me, but could I get a cup of coffee? I feel like having a cup.
I'm sorry, but lunch hours are over. I'm really sorry.
I see.
Excuse me. If it's OK with you, I can offer you a cup of coffee that we drink here.
Would you like some?
I made it for the first time today. Please try it.
Why, thank you.
We have the same name!
Really? Well, call me if you need anything else.
Thank you for the cake. Don't mention it.
The cake is really good.
Really? How good?
Well... It's not too sweet and the finishing taste is unique.
What shall I say... There's a bitter flavor to it...
You don't like the bitter flavor?
No, I like it. It feels as if something good is spreading through my body.
The bitter flavor is because of the chestnut honey.
The tannin in the honey gives a bitter flavor. Most bakeries use regular honey
but I used chestnut honey to try something new.
I see.
Nobody else could possibly think of using chestnut honey.
It's really expensive, you see. But our boss is really supportive of trying new recipes.
He tends to be a pain in the ass though.
He's a bit picky and hard to please, isn't he?
How did you know?
What the hell do you think you are doing?
You really have some nerve, don't you? How dare you intrude like this!
Who the hell do you think you are? How dare you steal my man away from me!
Look here, Captain Jang!
How did you seduce Jin-hun with that face? You're an overbloated pig.
You spread your legs in front of him, didn't you?
Forget it. Why should I even bother.
In-hae!
I thought you said you weren't interested! You two-faced liar!
In-hae, I'm really sorry, but I had my reasons. Can't you try to understand?
I'll tell you everything at the end of the year. I promise.
What are mumbling to yourself, Bitch!
Mumbling? Bitch?
Get her!
Stop it! What are you doing? Help me!
Help me! Help!
Go away! Leave me alone! How dare you!
What's wrong with me these days? I must be getting weak.
I should take oriental medicine to restore my energy.
Fine, damn it... I won't, OK?
Well, who would believe that someone like me lacks energy?
She left?
Thanks for the coffee. Kim Hee-jin.
Gosh, her handwriting is as pretty as her face.
Why does it have to be Kim Hee-jin?
What's this? This is why it's so uncomfortable dating co-workers.
I tasted a really good cake when I was in Cheju Island.
It's made with tangerines and oranges.
I thought it'd help with your baking.
Thank you.
By the way, you had a visitor. I didn't get her last name,
but her name was Hee-jin...
Who was here?
A girl called Hee-jin.
She looked at my nametag and said that we had the same name.
I gave her some coffee. I felt bad having to make her go back like that.
So I just gave her the coffee we drink.
She said she'd come back. She didn't even leave a number.
She left while I dozed off... I should've gotten her number...
OK.
Is she by any chance the girl that liked "Over the Rainbow?"
What was the fourth clause of our contract?
I'm asking you what it is!
Kim Sam-soon shall not ask Hyun Jin-hun too many questions.
Kim Sam-soon shall not repeat questions that Hyun Jin-hun doesn't want to answer.
Jin-hun... Jin-hun...
Hey, you!
I only asked you once, not twice!
And don't you remember what the fifth clause was?
Hyun Jin-hun shall respect Kim Sam-soon as a human being. You call this respect?
You yell at me, treat me like dirt and you look down on me over 50,000 dollars!
You're 27, you're not a kid. You should know some manners!

- Are the dried apricots here? - Yes.
Could I have the dried apricots, sugar powder and cointreau, please?
Oh, and the calvados, too.
The calvados?
- Here you are. - Thank you.
Keep up the good work.
- What's the lunch menu today? - Ice cream and smoked salmon.
- I see... Did all the goods come in? - Yes.
What was with the display of strength?
- Let's play basketball after lunch. - Sure!
In-hae, I'm really sorry. I didn't mean to lie.
Here, have a lot, OK? It's lonely living away from home, isn't it?
That's why you tend to feel hungrier.
Look.
- What? - Wow.
Oh my God.
They're for me?
In this vast galaxy, on a star called earth, you and I happened to meet.
It's been 100 days since you came to me. Thank you for coming to me.
Hee-jin, come on, accept the flowers.
What are you all doing? Give them some support, will you?
Where'd you pick up a cheesy line like that?
I googled it on the Internet.
That was an oscar performance.
Thanks.
I'm only playing along because I don't want to borrow the money for free,
but do I really have to act happy receiving flowers from you?
Yes.
OK, fine.
Let me ask you one more thing. Is there really a spy?
I'm sure that my mom's already heard about it.
What? He did what? He gave flowers to that pumpkin?
Yes.
He must've picked it up in some movie. OK, fine. Let's see who wins.
Maybe they're really dating.
That's impossible. He's putting on a show. I would know. He's my son.
Then why did you give them permission to date?
It's a way for him to go out and meet girls whether it's a show or not.
I want him to forget Hee-jin.
So you're just playing along as well.
Is there anyone you suspect?
No.
Come on, think hard. No one has shown any suspicious behavior?
What about Hyun-moo?
What about Ms. Oh? We left out Ms. Oh.
She's not a suspect.
Why not? Don't you know that it's the people you trust that betrays you?
What are you doing, sneaking around like this?
I thought it was weird when you snuck in. What are you doing here?
Ms. Oh, please keep it a secret. Please don't tell Mr. Hyun!
What are you doing with the resumes?
It turns out that her real name is Sam-soon.
How could she fool us like that?
Where are we? De Marie?
I want to see why people say it's the best. Let's go in.
So this is business, not a date? We wouldn't want to be on a real date.
These are all the dishes provided by our restaurant. We have a total of 77 dishes.
If there's anything else you need...
No, we're fine. We'll call you if we need anything else.
Thank you. Enjoy your meal.
How are we going to eat all this?
You're a pro. This is the least you have to do to get the information you need.
OK, fine. You have to taste good food to make good food.
Let's get started.
The ingredients are really fresh.
This is a pear tart.
It was first made at a bakery on a street called Bourdaloue in Paris.
That's where the name comes from, too. Tart Bourdaloue.
The almond cream and pear filling is what makes it special.
Yum... this is so good. Seasonal fruits taste best. Yum, it's so good.
Why aren't you having any?
I don't like sweet food.
What pleasure do you have in life if you don't even eat sweet food?
I have the pleasure of annoying you.
If you don't like sweet food, try this.
These are traditional biscuits made in the Basque region
at the border between Spain and France.
It's not that sweet. It'll be OK for you.
Sam-soon.
Jin-hun! What are you doing here?
What about you?
I came to eat cake with my darling.
Hello. It's nice to see you again.
Yes, hello.
But what are you doing here with Sam-soon?
We came to taste the food! Because of your engagement cake.
Gosh... Is that why you ordered so much?
Taste it all and make the best cake you can for me, OK?
Sure...
Excuse me... I have to go to the restroom...
Honey, let's sit here and eat.
OK.
It's so good. Yum...
My love for you ends here. But what can I do when you ask me why it ends here?
I'm sorry that this is the extent of my love.
I hear that you have a girlfriend. Everyone's talking about it. Who is it?
I heard that it wasn't a blind date set up by your mother.
Is she pretty? How old is she?
I hope she's not younger than me. What does her family do?
Actually, she's not that pretty. She's just decent looking. She's 30, and a bit fat.
But being fat isn't that bad. There's a soft feeling, like cotton candy, when I hug
She's the third daughter of a rice cake baker.
Her father passed away and her mother makes small loans in the market.
She has a professional job and she wants to get married soon.
And she knows her place well.
I really like that about her. Here she comes.
Let me introduce my girlfriend. This is Kim Sam-soon.
She's going to become the nation's best patissier.
How did you seduce him, huh?
It just happened.
It just happened? He's called the iceman, and it just happened?
Yeah, yeah, I lured him to bed, OK?
All the girls try to lure him to bed! Come on, be honest. How did you seduce him?
Why are you asking me? Go and ask Jin-hun.
Jin-hun, what do you find attractive about Sam-soon? Tell me. Tell me, huh?
How could someone like you be Jin-hun's girlfriend? You're not pretty and slim.
You're not young. You were so ugly in high school.
Well, that's because I gained weight after I quit basketball.
Do you know how much my grandma adored you?
I really liked your grandma, too.
Whenever I went to your house with my dad,
she would always give me money for snacks.
She was so nice. But you don't take after her in the slightest bit, do you?
Hey, third daughter of a rice cake baker!
I'm the second daughter of a bank president!
So what?
You really frighten me. I can see the laser beams coming out of your eyes.
Hey, Kim Sam-soon!
What? Shall I call your robot friends?
I'm sorry. If I knew he was your ex-boyfriend,
I wouldn't have asked you to make the engagement cake.
It's OK.
We can still cancel it if you want.
No, it's fine. I already finished the recipe. Hyun-moo already okayed it, too.
OK, then.
What kind of man is Min Hyun-woo?
Why are you asking?
If things don't go well for Chae-ree, she'll start getting on my case again.
So Hyun-woo should be a good guy for your benefit? I don't know.
You don't know? You dated him for 3 years!
Were you sure you knew your girlfriend?
Did I violate the fourth clause, again?
People see things the way they want to. They interpret things the way they want to
That's why we can never know what kind of person they really are...
The rosy picture seems to have lasted longer for you.
It normally wears off after 2 years.
It wears off?
In the beginning stage when a man and woman start wanting each other,
sex hormones such as testosterone and estrogen are released.
The desire to want each other grows more intense and after the man
and woman fall in love, dopamine and serotonin are produced.
Serotonin is the most important chemical in love.
It makes a person temporarily insane.
The next stage is when the man and woman want to become more intimate
which eventually leads to sex or marriage.
Here...
The brain discharges oxytocin and vasopressin...
Oxytocin is released not only when a man and woman engage in sexual behavior
but also when a mother breastfeeds her baby.
One research found that a woman's love for her child was the same as love.
What's more interesting is serotonin.
Serotonin makes a person blind to the other person's fault.
That's why Min-su is crazy over Young-hee.
I heard that you guys told Min-su to break up with her because she's ugly.
I didn't. The guys did.
It's no use. The serotonin will make it impossible for him to break up with her.
But maybe in 2 years... 2 years?
The level of hormones I just told you about remain high for about 2 years.
3 or 4 years at the longest.
Then all of our hormones have run low?
I have been feeling a bit different these days. I think I've run out of serotonin.
I can only see your faults.
Go and get an injection or something.
But I just can't stop the dopamine and oxytonin from flowing.
Hey. Come here, you.
- Hey, stop it. - Hey...
So don't blame him too much.
He was just being faithful to the chemical reaction of his body.
Are you taking his side?
I don't understand you any more than I do him.
Why not?
You experienced for yourself how meaningless and empty love is,
and still, you so easily fool yourself into thinking that love exists.
I never thought that love was easy. I never took love lightly.
I'm serious whenever I start love,
and it's the same for me when it ends, too.
Whether my body overflows with hormones or whether they dry up,
I'm always honest about my feelings and sincere with the other person. I'm sincere.
What's wrong?
What is it?
I wanted to take the subway because it was rush hour.
We should've just taken a cab.
You still can't manage to get up?
I have an idea!
Wow... So this is what a DVD room looks like.
That projector probably costs thousands of dollars. The sound is 5.1 channel, too...
You wanted to know who King Crazy was.
Look at that! Gosh! Look at her! Look at that woman!
No, don't. I said, no...
Just once, please... Just once, honey...
Don't move, OK? I'll fall off.
Keep it down! People will hear us.
So what. Hold still.
You can't even do this properly?
She's pretty aggressive.
What now? What...
What is this?
How should I know? It's the first time for me here, too.
How do you turn this off?
How should I know? Try and press the button.
What are you doing? Why'd you turn off the movie?
It just turned off by itself.
How's that even possible? Turn the movie back on and stop the sofa! Do something!
Damn...
What are you doing? Can't you do anything right?
Then you do it!
OK, fine. Give it to me. And you call yourself a man.
You call this a comfortable resting place?
I told you. It's the first time for me here, too. Fine, let's go then.
Let's stay a bit longer.
Does it still hurt? How does it hurt? Should I keep my mouth shut?
I have artificial bones and limbs in my left leg.
I was in a big car accident.
That's why you don't drive, huh?
Yes.
Where did you get your squeamish personality?
My father.
Can I ask when he passed away?
No.
Then can I ask why your mother wants you to get married?
You're not saying no this time.
It's because of Mi-ju.
Why?
She starts school next year. She needs someone to take her to school.
Who gets married so that his niece will have an aunt?
There's another reason, right?
She wants me to date and enjoy myself like everybody else does.
Then do that.
I don't want to.
Why not?
Oh... That girl...
Do you by any chance... prefer men?
If it's not that...
Well you said you were in a big car accident, and I thought...
I'm fine, thank you.
I'm supposed to believe that?
Shall I show you?
Men. They're so typical. OK, then... Show me. Let's see!
A man? Yeah right. You eat like a baby...
Now do I seem like a man to you?
Why are you closing your eyes? Did you think I'd kiss you?
Come on, do it properly.
OK... OK...
Hey! Go home and do it!
It's so embarrassing. I think I've lived too long. I should just die. Why is it so hot?
That little cocky bastard. How dare he ridicule me!
And what's wrong with you?
I think I've gone hungry for too long. Yeah, that's it.
I've been on an empty stomach for too long. OK, calm down.
Calm down. I've starved for too long.
Hello?
Mi-ju, is that you?
Mi-ju, what are you doing up?
Why are you up so early, Mi-ju? Did you have a bad dream again?
Do you want me to sing for you?
What do you want to hear?
The tadpole song?
There's a tadpole swimming down the stream...
And as it swims down the stream..
the front legs come out... the back legs come out...
And now the tadpole turns into a frog...
Mi-ju, now you sing.
I want to hear Mi-ju sing, too. When will you sing for me?
I sang to you, so you have to go back to sleep now, OK?
Kiss.
The body asked the heart one day. The doctor makes me better when I'm sick,
but who treats you when you're ill?
And so, the heart answered...
I have to treat myself.
Perhaps that's why everybody has their own way of
making themselves feel better...
when they're sad or blue.
People drink, sing, get angry, cry, chat, travel, marathons...
The worst way to deal with pain is to ignore it...
My way is to bake cookies and cakes at the break of dawn.
When my father suddenly passed away... When my passionate love died out...
When I lost my job...
I baked a cake and was consoled by the smell of the baking cake.
There can't be a sweeter way to make yourself feel better than this.
Hold on... Why did I come early today? Because I woke up early...
Why did I wake up early? Because I couldn't sleep...
Why couldn't I sleep?
What now? OK, OK... I get the message.
You're here early.
Oh, you startled me.
Why are you so jumpy?
You startled me.
I might've lost a baby.
Did you sign up as a surrogate mother?
But what's with the clothes?
I was going to exercise but then I realized that I had something to do.
You're making chocolates?
Yes. I suddenly had an idea last night.
You went in late last night. You must be tired.
I can sleep whenever. But I couldn't sleep with all these new ideas in my head.
What's this bitter flavor?
The recipe is a secret.
The bitter taste plays down the sweet flavor. I like it.
Make some more so that we can serve it to the customers today.
Really?
Sure, why not. See you later.
He never makes small talk, does he? Yeah, well. What should I expect?
Get a grip, Kim Sam-soon!
Is the food to your liking?
Yes, it's very nice, thank you.
- Enjoy your evening. - Thank you.
Do I have to do this?
What choice do you have? A customer ordered it.
Kim Hee-jin?
What?
Oh, nothing... I'll just save it for later. I can't wait.
Is the ice cream ready?
What's with her?
Yum...
- Is it good? - Yes
I'm so touched, I'm speechless.
It's really nothing, sweetheart. I'll get you something better next time.
Welcome.
What a touching scene. But at least you have a conscience seeing that
you gave her one smaller than mine.
I thought I should say thank you.
Are you crazy?
I'll show you!
Let go! You're embarrassing me!
Let go! Let go right now!
How could you do this to me?
Who the hell do you think you are?
I'll see to you later.
Ma'am, compose yourself. Why don't you have a seat over there? Let me help you.
What now? What do I do now?
How could he do this to me?
I'm sorry, but we have other customers...
Ms. Oh.
Ma'am, have this and calm down.
Chocolates are the best remedy for a broken heart.
What? A broken heart?
Does this look like a broken heart to you?
Are you mocking me because my husband's having an affair? Is that it?
I had a similar experience last Christmas.
I caught my boyfriend with another woman at a hotel.
So what did you do?
I let him go.
You just let him go? You should've broken legs.
Once a person's heart leaves, you can't hold on to it.
Our restaurant started a special event today.
It's an event for women who have had their hearts broken.
Wine and chocolates are on the house.
How do you know if they've had their hearts broken or not?
Do they carry a certificate or something?
It's in their eyes.
And we play the piano, too. The owner of this restaurant, Mr. Hyun, will play.
Come on, go ahead. It's time for you to do your part.
The word will spread among regulars tomorrow
and help us draw more customers.
Why does it have to be the piano?
Then do you want to dance?
It's like some cheesy scene in a soap opera.
You said you don't watch TV. You lied, didn't you?
Could you play, "Over the Rainbow?"
I hope his temper doesn't get the best of him this time. I hope he plays...
Your piano skills seem to have improved.
I hope you haven't been playing for other girls.
You wouldn't answer your phone. Have you been busy? Well, it's good to be busy.
I hear the restaurant's doing well. I didn't know you had such talent.
You're still mad at me, aren't you?
What do you want?
Why did you come to see me?
I promised that I would come back. Don't you remember?
Yeah, I remember. I remember how cruel you were.
You're upset right now. You were angry for 3 years, and you're just lashing out.
Be angry all you want. I know I was wrong. I had no other choice,
but I understand why you're angry. You have every right to be angry.
You really think you're special, don't you?
OK, I was angry at first. You left me right after my accident
saying that you were going abroad to study.
Who would've thought?
But I was really busy for the last 3 years, having surgery on my leg 5 times,
going through rehab and opening the restaurant.
In fact, I don't know how time went by.
The heartache was nothing to the physical pain that my body felt.
You? I didn't have time to think about you.
I know that you're being like this on purpose. But it still hurts.
You said you'd be back in 5 years. You're back early.
I couldn't stay for five because of you.
Don't be like this. It isn't easy for me either.
I thought of you being angry like this every day. I couldn't bear it... And so...
You shouldn't have come back. You wanted to study...
You should have stayed.
Don't talk like that.
Have you forgotten? How cruel you were to me 3 years ago?
I had no other choice. You would've done the same.
No, I wouldn't have made a choice like that.
At least you didn't die. Did you die when I left you? You're alive, doing what you do.
Then it's OK, isn't it? It's nothing to be so upset about, is it?
You never called, not even once.
I couldn't because I knew it would make me weak.
Why? Because you thought I would beg you to come back?
Yeah. I didn't want to be swayed. I thought you'd understand.
How can I understand someone that doesn't call once in 3 years?
I thought you would, stupid.
I thought you and I shared that kind of trust.
I thought you'd wait even if I didn't call because I told you to...
I thought you'd trust me.
Do you remember this song? You used to play this song
and Over the Rainbow for me.
I'm leaving.
Don't go.
I still have things to tell you... Please...
Aren't you going home?
I'll go after making the croissant dough.
You should've told me to make it.
It's OK. Go home.
That girl... Is she Jin-hun's ex-girlfriend?
Yeah.
You knew?
Yeah.
Are you all right?
You're still young so you probably don't understand,
but even if you break up, you can still be friends.
They didn't look like friends to me.
If you don't want to go home, get back into your uniform.
No, I'm going. See you tomorrow then.
This is company property. Are you allowed to drink it like this?
I heard that Mi-ju goes to play therapy because she can't talk.
Why don't you bring her here once or twice a month
so that we can bake together?
I think it'll be good for her. I saw the therapy once on TV
and it doesn't seem any different from baking cookies.
What do you think?
It sounds like a good idea.
I'm not offering just to deduct my interest.
I just think Mi-ju's cute and...
She is cute, isn't she?
But why can't she talk?
It's not that she can't. She just won't. She used to when she was little,
but she suddenly stopped talking one day.
Why?
I don't know. Since she won't tell me.
She's a complicated one, isn't she?
Did you... Did you like her a lot?
She's really pretty. She seemed really nice. You two look good together.
Why did you break up?
That's right... The fourth clause of our contract...
But can I ask you one more thing? What's her last name?
If our last name is the same as well,
that would be a problem. Is it Kim? Lee? Park?
Or Chun, Bang, Ji, Chuk, Ma, Gol, Pi?
Yoo Hee-jin...
Yoo Hee-jin? So her last name is Yoo, huh? Ouch!
Jin-hun! Jin-hun! Hey!
Sam-shik! Sam-shik! Wake up! Open your eyes!
