(All characters, organizations, places, and events are fictional.)
Do you know...
that it used to be called the devil's favorite?
Oh, really?
Why?
Hey, what's going on?
What is it that you want to talk about? Why so serious?
The poet, Arthur Rimbaud,
drank absinthe when he was confessing his feelings...
to a man he was in love with.
I never thought...
I'd see the day when I could...
drink this.
Tae Wan.
I didn't think I'd end up telling you this in this way, but...
I'm actually...
I'm gay.
And I'm in love with you.
I guess you had no idea.
I've felt this way for a while.
You didn't know?
Tae Wan.
I must've done a good job hiding it.
I'm sorry.
This is just too sudden.
Well...
I mean...
You can give me your answer another time.
Let's drink this then.
I'm off.
Just confess your feelings first.
Those who are brave...
are the ones that win love.
I...
I don't plan to look away...
from what I like.
(Episode 10)
- Hello. - Hello.
Hello, Chef Park. Did you see that?
("Sweet Munchies")
Going up.
Doors are closing.
You're...
attending the meeting today?
Yes.
Have you eaten?
Yes, I have.
What did you eat?
This is so awkward.
What?
Don't do that, Jin Sung.
You making that face...
was what I feared the most.
- Tae Wan. - Doors are opening.
It was crazy.
So he even went to the police station?
Yes!
So today, please don't say anything...
that may hurt Chef Park's feelings, okay?
- All right. - Don't forget, okay?
Yes, I heard you.
A Jin!
Hey, you.
Gosh, those two...
Hey!
What...
Hey, why aren't you surprised?
You knew they've been going out?
Yes.
So I was the only one who was kept in the dark?
I'm so annoyed.
My gosh, there are so many interesting stories.
Yes, I heard all the younger viewers are complaining about...
their stories not being selected.
Well, it has to be interesting.
We can't pick just about any story.
Well, let's go through the stories later.
The chef's uniform got great feedback after the last show,
so why don't we come up with another idea like that?
What do you think, Mr. Kang?
Mr. Kang?
Mr. Kang!
What are you thinking about?
Oh, nothing.
- Gosh! - My gosh!
- Goodness. - Oh, no.
- No, I'll do it. - I'll do it.
- Let me do it. - Mr. Kang, it's okay.
- This is all wet. - Oh, no.
- Gosh. - What do we do?
This won't stain, right?
Are you okay?
Mr. Kang, you seem a little off today.
- Well... - Sorry.
You little...
What's the matter with you?
You two, seriously.
What's with him?
Tae Wan.
Do you have time later today?
Yes.
All right.
Then...
let's meet at Bistro.
I'll be okay.
Would you like a drink?
Do you remember?
When we first met,
you criticized me for my outfit.
There's a thin line...
between fashion and costumes.
If it's too much, you'll look ridiculous.
We didn't first meet...
in the waiting room.
It was on the stairs.
What?
Was it?
Tae Wan.
You're a good person.
You always were.
I can't hold a candle to you...
when it comes to your skills or style.
You're younger,
but I have so much to learn from you.
That's the type of person you are.
However, I'm different.
All I focus on...
is surviving each day.
I'm the type of person...
that doesn't hesitate to do things I shouldn't.
I'm totally worthless.
Worthless?
What did you do?
I...
You see, I...
That's enough.
I don't think I need to hear more.
This is...
what I was second most afraid of hearing.
"You're a good person,
but..."
Tae Wan.
That was enough of an answer.
That drink...
Let's have it next time.
I thought...
it would be enough if you cared for me.
But I guess you don't have any feelings for me.
Should I say "hi" or not?
Mr. Kang.
Ms. Kim.
Why are you here drinking alone instead of going to Bistro?
Soju?
Did something happen between you and Jin Sung?
No,
not really.
I just want to be alone.
I'm sorry, I had no idea.
But then...
I also wouldn't mind talking to someone.
Please have a seat.
Can I have a glass?
Thank you.
Let me.
Okay, thank you.
Did...
something happen?
Well...
I expressed my feelings for someone but got rejected.
What?
You did?
What kind of person rejects you?
It's someone that has awful taste in fashion,
is slow in picking things up,
and is a busybody...
that doesn't know how to take care of himself.
It's an idiot like that.
However,
I'm happy...
when I'm with that person.
When I'm with that person,
I find myself smiling.
That person...
taught me...
how to speak up...
about what I really like.
It was love at first sight.
Thank you.
I got it.
Okay.
Do you regret expressing your feelings?
No.
I don't regret...
falling for that person...
or expressing my feelings.
(To Tae Wan: I'm sorry.)
I'm sorry.
(To Tae Wan: I'm sorry.)
Actually,
I'm not gay...
(Actually, I'm not gay.)
We all have...
something in common now.
We all have a crush.
And we've all been turned down.
You've been turned down too?
Yes.
But it was a stupid idea to ask him out...
in the first place.
Why?
I knew that he wouldn't like me.
What made you think so?
Well...
I just knew it.
I'm probably not good enough.
Well...
By any chance...
Never mind.
Tonight, let's just drink.
So what are you going to do now?
What do you mean?
Now that you've been turned down,
are you going to give up?
I have a feeling...
that things will work out...
as long as you don't give up.
You really think so?
Yes.
You're an attractive person.
Oh, my.
I didn't know you were such a crybaby.
Here.
I'm sorry.
Don't worry. I got turned down too.
There's no way that person can't see your charm.
- Mr. Kang. - What's with me?
Cry as much as you want. You'll feel better afterward.
Stop following me around.
I'm not following you around.
It's just that you keep thinking of me.
Is "Let's eat" the only thing you want to say to me?
Think about it.
Does seeing me make you crave food?
Did you just sigh?
I can't believe you.
What? Why are you glaring at me?
What happened?
What are you two fighting about?
The title is, "Stop Talking About Food".
Ms. Yoo wrote a short drama.
- We were reciting some lines. - Gosh, you scared me.
- Doesn't it sound fun? - Wait.
You even write dramas now?
They were looking for scripts, so I sent one in.
How many shows are you planning to do?
You're so greedy.
I'm just trying things out.
But I've always been really interested in dramas.
You're so cool.
Let's go grab some food.
What do you want to eat, Sung Eun?
I don't want to be a third wheel. You guys go ahead.
Wait. Sweetheart, can you eat with someone else today?
I want to eat with A Jin.
Why? I want to eat with you guys.
Forget it. You two eat together.
- Eat with me. - I'll eat with you.
- What's with you? - See you.
(Bistro)
Oh, Tae Wan.
Hey.
Where did you drink so much?
Hey.
Are you okay?
No.
I'm not okay.
I really didn't want to do this.
You were right.
You're not the one following me around.
I'm the one who can't let you go.
A Jin...
Excuse me.
Jin Sung.
You came all the way here...
because you were worried about me?
Yes.
I was...
a little worried about Jin Sung.
I expressed my feelings for someone but got rejected.
(Kim A Jin)
I wanted to congratulate you on your first show.
My gosh.
What is this?
My gosh! My name is engraved on it.
Come up with many great shows with it.
I'm sorry.
I'm not sure...
why I did such a thing.
(Park Jin Sung)
Yes.
I'm being delusional.
I totally am.
Snap out of it already, please?
[VIU Ver] jTBC E10 'Sweet Munchies' "I Can & I Will" -♥ Ruo Xi ♥- Synced with Subcake Android
Yes, keep it up!
(Hidden Camera, Open File)
Oh, hello.
All right, let's have the meeting. Everyone, to my office!
- Yes, ma'am. - Yes, ma'am.
Hey.
- The meeting. - Oh, right.
I just attended the executives' meeting.
And I have to say, you guys made me proud.
Now, with that said... To keep our spirits up,
those of us who are here should have a team dinner this evening.
- Nam Gyu Jang and Kim A Jin. - Yes.
- Yes, ma'am. - Can we produce Season Two?
You can persuade Chef Park, right?
No, we can't do that.
What? Why not?
Well, that's...
Because it'll take the opportunity away from someone like me.
Then you can propose something too.
Start off with a six-episode pilot with a hidden camera theme.
What?
All right, sure.
What's with this reaction? You're not even excited?
Right? What's up? Why are you so downcast?
What are you talking about? I'm thrilled to hear it.
I'll do an excellent job this time.
- Well... - Anyway,
Ms. Cha.
As for persuading Park Jin Sung, A Jin and I will come up...
with a good strategy and make sure we get him on the show.
- Great. - Yes, we'll persuade him.
All right.
Min Soo.
The second season of "Changing You" is coming along nicely, right?
Yes, of course.
The CK variety shows are doing so well these days, you know?
- For being buzzworthy... - Number one!
- Viewership rating! - Number one!
- Commercials! - Number one!
I'm so happy these days.
If this was a dream, I wouldn't want to wake up from it, ever.
All right, then. If there's anything you need to report to me,
go ahead. If there's nothing, we'll wrap up here.
- Okay. - Okay.
- What's with him? - Ms. Cha. About...
what I mentioned the other day, we went over the budget...
Did you hire someone to tail me or something?
How do you know all my schedule?
Of course, I know when your doctor's appointments are.
Dad.
Stop by the bistro later.
I don't want to. I just want to go home.
But why? You're at home every day.
Did you get a girlfriend or something?
How did you know? Did you put up a camera at my place?
All right, I'll stop by.
- Oh, isn't that Park Jin Sung? - Where?
- Over there. - Yes, that is Park Jin Sung.
- Yes, it's him. - It is him.
- That is Park Jin Sung. - He's so popular these days.
(Healing dishes made by a gay chef)
Right?
- Yes, totally. - I thought so.
(Park Jin Sung)
- Did you hear? - About what?
Mr. Lee.
Did you come alone?
Yes.
Have a seat here.
What would you like to have?
I'll just have a glass of cold water.
Sure.
Did something happen?
Are you and A Jin close?
Yes.
How close?
A Jin thinks...
you're her savior.
She said you showed up and saved her...
when she was going through a rough patch.
Is something going on...
with A Jin?
You'd probably...
know the answer to that question better than anyone else would.
Don't worry about the hospital bill.
I'll take care of it.
But you don't have any money.
I work day and night.
Of course, I have some saved up.
How long do you think it takes to put a TV show together?
After four years, A Jin...
She worked hard for four years...
to come up with this one show.
Yes,
I know.
You do?
You did this when you know?
Did you think producing a TV show was a joke?
Or do you...
hold a grudge against A Jin?
A Jin...
Does Ms. Kim know about this?
What?
Does that matter right now?
I have...
no excuses.
I am fully aware of...
what I did.
I'll take responsibility and...
What do you know? And what responsibility?
I thought about this very hard.
I considered revealing the truth about what a liar you are...
and having you pay for it.
But then what would happen to "Sweet Munchies"?
What about the reputation of CK?
On top of everything,
what about the entire staff that worked so hard...
with the single goal to make this work?
Chef Park Jin Sung.
Don't do anything.
Until the TV show ends,
don't even think...
about coming clean about it.
Are you open?
- Cheers! - Cheers!
Here, have some.
Thank you.
What is with you?
What?
You never look so sullen when there is chicken.
I told you to put a pilot together,
and you didn't seem excited at all.
You sure are acting very weird.
Come on.
I was trying to act serious for a change,
but you're making it impossible.
Seriously.
- That's hot. - Gosh.
Oh, right.
I heard Chef Lee Gang Ju of "Today's Breakfast"...
quit the TV show after getting a DUI.
He didn't quit. They're ending it early.
They're getting rid of the show.
Not a single mistake is acceptable in this business.
That's why you have to keep tabs on your hosts...
and staff so they don't get caught up in any rumors.
- Yes, ma'am. - Yes, ma'am.
CK couldn't get any better than it is now.
I won't let you get away with it...
if any of you ruin this.
Ms. Cha,
why don't we brand Chef Park at CK?
I realized many writers are planning to include him in their scripts.
Why don't we...
create 100 episodes,
so other broadcasters can't even dream of taking him?
What if...
Chef Park gets involved in a scandal?
You'll have to cancel all the shows.
Isn't he a decent person?
Gyu Jang, you said he doesn't have any issues with girls,
and I heard that he doesn't even have a driver's license.
Could any problems arise?
Not that I can think of.
Gosh.
I need to use the restroom.
I'm pretty sure he's up to something.
Mr. Lee, you don't smoke!
No.
I quit 11 years ago.
Then why are you smoking? You shouldn't smoke.
Are you stressed from work?
Should I buy you some chocolate?
No, it's okay.
Fine, I won't smoke.
Let's go in.
Mr. Lee?
Are you against Season Two because of me?
How did you find out...
about Chef Park?
How did you know?
How much do you know?
I know everything.
No wonder you were acting weird these past few days.
Don't worry, Mr. Lee.
I'm not stupid enough to let my personal affairs affect work,
and I can make sure my feelings...
don't get in the way of my work.
What?
Are you interested in Chef Park?
Isn't that why you were against the second season?
Of course.
I've gotten over my feelings.
I'm really okay.
Okay. You're right.
Dozens of people are relying on you.
Just remember you hold a great responsibility for them.
I will.
Let's go in now.
They might finish the chicken.
It's delicious.
I feel...
weirdly strengthened...
when I come here.
I also like talking to you.
Mr. Park Jin Sung,
let's try being friends first.
Nice to meet you, Park Jin Sung.
Same here.
Ta-da!
- My gosh! - Oh, my.
- Go ahead. - No, you should eat it.
There's only one claw left.
You should eat it. You did all the work.
Here, Jin Sung.
- Hey, what's with you? - All right.
Here, guys. Cheers!
Cheers!
Let's celebrate the first regular recording...
of "Sweet Munchies", which went successfully.
Cheers!
- Cheers! - Cheers!
- Congratulations. - Thank you.
Dad.
Why aren't you here yet?
Dad.
You shouldn't drink yet.
Didn't you hear what the doctor said?
Did you eat?
Of course, I did. It's already late.
Give that to me.
A bowl of noodles, please.
I don't need it. I'm not hungry.
Just eat it.
Eat up.
Are you only giving us a bowl of noodles?
Give us some kimchi or something!
What's with you, Dad?
It's just that you're picking at your food.
I'll eat. There's no reason to get so upset.
What's the big deal if I get a little upset?
Did something happen?
In my eyes,
you're still a child.
I feel like you still need me.
So why do you keep pretending you're okay,
you're not hurt,
and everything is fine?
Why?
Dad.
Something definitely happened today,
right?
Before he comes back...
(Hidden Camera)
That's Jae Soo.
Gosh, I knew it.
He's the same.
Who's next?
Gosh.
Shouldn't this count as a fraud?
I'll report him one of these days.
Why did I have to...
My goodness.
I was so desperate not to get caught.
What are you doing, Gyu Jang?
Seriously.
Who's that?
Is that Chef Park? Who's the other one?
What are they saying?
What's that?
Hey, what are you doing?
Who said you could touch my computer?
What did you see?
Is there anything that I shouldn't see?
I can't believe you.
As I said, this is considered an invasion of privacy.
I'll report you to the police.
Gosh, you're crazy.
Gosh.
Unbelievable.
Why would he get so worked up? What could it be?
This is driving me crazy.
- Hello. - Hello.
A Jin.
Have you checked Chef Park's schedule yet?
No, not yet.
Do it right now.
We want to make sure he can make it before anything else,
- okay? - Okay.
- A Jin. - Jin Sung.
The other day,
- with Tae Wan... - No.
You don't have to.
I'm not interested in other people's private matters.
"Private..."
"matters"?
Hey, Jin Sung.
You don't have to feel sorry.
Please don't.
It's no big deal if you don't like me back.
It shouldn't mean that we can't be friends, should it?
How about we go back to the way we used to...
That's not it, you stupid.
Friends?
Why do we have to be friends?
Jin Sung.
I'm sorry.
That was out of line.
Don't worry.
What's the matter, by the way? What are you doing here?
What?
Oh, well...
It's nothing. Let's talk another time.
What? He's already deleted everything?
(This folder is empty.)
Gosh, you scared me.
What are you doing?
You should call it a day.
- Right. - Yes.
I should indeed.
You seem very flustered.
Something's fishy here.
- Are you hiding something fun? - No, not anymore.
I mean, no. There's nothing here.
Go home.
Gosh.
All right, sure.
We should call it a day.
What I wear, what I do,
and what kind of person I should be...
is up to me to decide because it's my life.
It's none of your business, right?
I need to see you today...
to talk to you about something.
Can we meet at Bistro?
- Hey, you. - Hi.
Do you want something to drink?
No, maybe later.
Ms. Kim, Ms. Yoo, and Mr. No will be joining me.
I asked them to meet me here.
Why did you tell everyone to come?
Is today...
a special day or something?
I'm going to tell them that I'm gay.
I plan to tell them how I've been hiding it from everyone all along...
and how dishonest I've been.
But...
why all of a sudden?
You told me all about...
how hard you've had to try...
to keep it a secret all your life.
Because of you.
What?
To put it more accurately, I should say,
"Thanks to you."
- Tae Wan. - I tried to forget you and move on.
I really tried hard.
But the funny thing is,
that actually helped me realize...
why I fell for you...
and why...
it's so hard to get you out of my mind.
I guess I wanted to be acknowledged and prove myself...
to someone.
Because...
Since I wasn't confident about revealing who I really was,
I was hoping...
at least you would look at me.
Like a coward.
No, you can't do that.
Don't do it, Tae Wan.
Just don't.
You know exactly what will happen.
And that's why you've been hiding it.
You might end up losing everything you have.
You might hit rock bottom overnight.
But you did it.
You didn't chicken out.
I want to at least try...
to be like you.
To be even just half as brave as you.
Okay.
You want to be like me?
Then keep hiding it.
Like what I'm doing.
I'm...
not gay.
That is the real truth, Tae Wan.
I'm...
fake.
(Sweet Munchies)
What are you going to do?
It won't be over with just me getting hurt.
I haven't been able to persuade him yet.
We're talking about giving you a permanent position.
- Happy birthday. - Do your best to persuade him.
Do you have feelings for someone who's here now?
- Yes. - If I confess my feelings,
that person will be hurt.
- I'm sorry. - You look as if you're holding...
a bomb that's about to go off.
I am holding a bomb indeed.
It seems like he's found out something...
about you.
This is Park Jin Sung from Bistro.
I'd like...
to sell the restaurant.
