PREVIOUSLY ON TASTE OF LOVE
[theme music]
Can I help you?
[gasps]
[tinkling sound]
[mellow music]
Are you Chef, Joon Park?
What are you doing here?
If there are any openings, may I work here?
Cooking isn't everything! You don't know the first thing about running a business!
[Seo-yeon] Or the first thing about love...
[gasps]
I'm sorry, Mr. Park, [panting]
-but it's for the best. -Look, hold on!
[screams]
[woman crying]
[crying continues]
Park Frozen Gourmet will continue under my son's leadership--
I'm sorry, Mother.
-I can't. -Joon!
[Joon] What are you doing?
Uh...
[Korean song playing]
Good work!
[chuckles softly]
TASTE OF LOVE EPISODE 12
[theme music]
Mother.
-Oh. -What are you doing here?
Hello, dear.
Straight home from work again?
You didn't answer my question.
You're not seeing anyone these days?
You should go out and meet a nice girl for drinks now and then.
Grumpy as usual.
I can't even ask you a simple question.
-Can't a mother ask her son-- -Mother.
-I'm a grown man. -A grown man should have a family.
Please don’t ambush me at home like this.
If you want to be treated like an adult, get married and start a family!
[door knocks] [Claire's dad] Claire!
We've got customers!
Yeah, yeah, okay.
Claire, are you doing one or two?
Dad!
I'm trying to get a time guesstimate here, sweetie.
-Make sure you wash your hands! -Dad!
[Claire] His character in Taste of Love
is totally my favorite.
I mean, I definitely liked him in Leaves in the Fall.
He was a lot more, like, sensitive?
Oh, and then there was An Arrow Through My Heart.
He was a lot more manly.
Oh, and then there was a time he played an alien
-who didn't think he'd ever fall in love. -I love you.
And then he did.
Each series, he just got better and better.
But in all those he'd always kiss the girl by episode nine.
Episode 13 of Taste of Love comes out tonight
and he still hasn't kissed
his poor, spunky, dishwasher turned sous-chef!
-Uh... Can I get a turkey and Swiss? -You've got to understand,
in a Korean drama that first kiss is everything.
-Lettuce, tomato, mustard... -It means they're in love!
It's not like American shows where a kiss means nothing.
In K-drama, when a guy kisses a girl, that's it!
That's true love forever!
I have no idea what you're talking about.
Taste of Love is the most popular drama on Korean television.
Nobody freakin' cares! Just make the sandwich.
[Claire's dad] Claire, take out the trash.
-I'm sorry, what can I get you? -Turkey and Swiss, please.
[Seo-yeon] What do you want me to do?
[sighs]
I'll see you tomorrow.
-Will you? -"Will you?"
-Or will you just look through me? -"Or will you just look through me?"
[Korean song playing]
[Claire's Dad] What kind of business are we in?
I'm just re-watching episode 12 to make sure I didn't miss anything.
What kind of business are we in?
-The customer service-- -The customer service business.
And if we don't serve the customer...
-we're out of business. -Dad...
If Joon Park kisses Seo-yeon in this episode
everything will be fine.
-They need to fall in love. -Give me your phone.
Dad, come on! I'm an adult woman.
Yeah? And I'm the one paying your adult-woman college tuition.
No more phones at work!
All you do is stare at this thing all day long!
Why don't you try talking to real people?
Dad, in here life is exciting.
And people are beautiful and they fall hopelessly, madly in love.
The leading man and the girl that no one ever looked at before.
They kiss, and there's a happy ending.
[sighs]
Look at the door.
Look at the door for a second.
[cars rumble by]
You know what just happened?
A handsome Korean billionaire didn't waltz in here
and he didn't sweep you off your feet.
That's real life, Claire. That stuff doesn't happen.
You know what's real?
I'm real.
Our shop is real.
This life is real!
[squeals softly]
And you need to start living it. [thumps]
Dad! [clatters]
Sorry, Claire. I was just trying to make a point.
[sighs]
Does it still work?
[clunks] I've got class.
Still closing tonight, right?
I love you!
[message tone beeps]
[zaps]
[incidental music]
Sorry, Dad.
[Korean song playing]
Love shot?
[clacks]
[door slides open]
[grunting]
[sighs, annoyed]
[drawer opens] [Claire] Oh, come on!
She's not the one you're supposed to be with!
She's taking advantage of your emotional vulnerability!
Can't you see that?
Ugh!
[Korean song playing]
We make a good team.
[Claire] No, no, you don't! Please don't let this happen!
Please, please, please!
Ugh!
[Korean song playing]
[Claire] No, no, no, no!
No, this can't happen, no, this isn't right!
[clacks]
Something's wrong. Something's wrong.
[Claire] I have to-- I--
I have to stop this!
