 Oh for goodness sake isn't there ENOUGH violent content on all the OTHER channels? I was so anxious to see the next episode - what a pain . .  I hope I can stay awake until midnight but I won't count on it - What annoys me the most is that there was NO advance announcement that they would summarily change the airing time for this program  - I wish some of the KOREAN population would get more vocal about how the TV media is ignoring them - there is a plethora of Spanish language shows all over the place  - - Instead of Spanish, I took Latin and German in school LOL .  .

Summary, really brief, could use some help filling it in: (Darn, still can't remember the names, though) Chef Oh's son said he'd look for Sangchun[g?], so he put an employee on it, and the guy gave him 3 pages of info. Younger Oh went to street corner and saw SC selling food from his truck. He grimaced, I think, and drove away. He had already told the employee not to tell anyone else about SC's whereabouts. This was after he told his hoped-for fiancee not to look, he'd do it. Creep! So of course he tells no one, himself. Later on his former girlfriend was in SC's old bedroom again, fondling his folded chef's uniform, and younger Oh says, Won't you ever stop doing that?? (I think a year may have gone by.) Younger Oh is planning some expansion and not paying attention to the kitchen or cooking, and his father is depressed about the restaurant losing its quality and about missing SC. Special guests at the restaurant, with that snide sneaky chef (who's the same age as younger Oh) in charge. Guests are Muslim, and the kitchen staff is being careful to substitute hallal(sp?) ingredients for the forbidden foods,..... except for dessert, which the underchef, (the somewhat older guy who had been hit for [some reason] last week, IIRC) had invented himself, using fruit juice to make sherbert. It was beautiful and delicious, BUT he included forbidden alcohol, so the guests spit it out and stormed off. They all got a severe scolding from the pottery guy, father of the girl executive. (Later someone tells pottery guy to go home and make plates and stop bothering them in the restaurant, does he think he owns it?? But I forgot who said that) There's a new chef, who seems to be the boss in the kitchen now. He uses high-tech instruments to check on temperatures and [something else] and annoys everyone, and he himself hates it there. I don't know why he left his old job. (I missed the beginning) Reporter girl Jinsu? goes to her editor's office after a phone call, but he isn't there. (Who called? I didn't get it.) Just before she arrived, Seongchan came, carrying a box. She opened it and held her nose. Her boss is about to walk in, so she shoos SC out on the balcony with his box of fish. Boss smells fish, says open the window. So SC hears the girl's trouble with her boss, who confesses to have lied to her about giving her a job if she got that interview at the restaurant. Shrug, so I lied. What a rat. Then boss starts talking about a famous butcher named Gang who's been missing for 5 years and now that there's a big beef contest (??) everyone wants to find him. (The restaurant is planning to enter the contest too) So girl leaves, with SC stuck on balcony, and she finds a cop about to tow SC;s truck. She saves it by driving away and SC manages to jump in (somehow), eh, kerfuffle, driving over curb. They talk about the missing butcher, and he agrees to help her. They have the knife Gang used, from someone who used to know him (IIRC). They found an old woman knife-sharpener who remembers that knife, but the owner had a different name, or maybe it was his first name. There was a tragedy concerning his wife and an expected baby girl, as far as I can gather. Girl took knife home, went to sleep, and had a nightmare. She called SC, he came and cooked her a meal in his truck. It looked like the middle of the night. They had fun, something about a feast in Korean being the combination of both their names ( jinsu sungchan?) and maybe they're destined to be together, and the girl exec. from the restaurant saw them sitting in the back of his truck and laughing together. (Forgot how she found him) Sometime in there, SC was selling stuff and using his mike a lot just to bug the shopowner on that street (who had poured a pan of water on him last time), but shopowner didn't come out to holler at him, so he looked in and saw him being bullied by 2 ruffians. Something about a loan? SC managed to chase them away by playing a police siren over his loudspeaker. Guy was not grateful, still prickly, but he did ask to buy some salted seaweed. SC said he'd order some. Truce? Also the old guy who lazes aroung the kimchee urns claimed to be psychic. Waitresses were lining up to have their future love-lives told. He said SC would come to him, that's how he'd find him. ? Not so brief after all. |

I missed it entirely - I didn't turn the TV on until midnight - now I LOVE YOU is on and I'm not into that one - so I will go to sleep - hope it was a good episode - maybe you can give a brief summary for those of us who missed it, Ginny Cats - please? Kamsa hamnida in advance - ;D I watched both, and now I'm so sleepy. I Love You ended at 1:15!! Too late!! They even showed some little thing in between the 2 dramas, (because it wasn't late enough?) |

Being the moderator of the 'I Love You' forum (but not really being all that into it), I dutifully tuned in at 9:10, saw something else, and figured it was over. I was going to check this morning if there were in fact more than the six eps that have already aired, until I read this thread.
Sigh.

Okay, so was this episode 7? If you tell me, once I get there (this week sometime) I'll fill in anything you missed.

YES YES it WAS episode 7. Okay, I've just finished watching it, and I can fill in the tiny gaps you left, Gin. 1) What is IIRC? 2) I think the fortune-telling guy is the one who told plate-maker to fly a kite. ("Go home and make plates!") He's the only one who'd dare, and they were also fighting about a girl in their past, started tussling like little boys in the Grand Chef's room. It looked like they all ended up laughing together, though. 3) I think this is the episode where the Grand Chef remembers going to get Sung-chan after the boy's father's funeral (saw Chef and fortune-teller at funeral, bringing boy home), and remembers how his two sons were always so close. It was very sweet and sad. 4) I saw the beginning of the episode, there's nothing telling why the fussy new chef left his former job. I think he's "supposed to be" gay. 5) I believe the call Jin-su got was from her so-called reporter friend, telling her she hadn't been hired, since that's where she gets all her news. Bo |

Bo Thanks, Bo!! 1) IIRC stands for: If I recall correctly 2) Ooh, a girl in their past... Sorry I missed that. I wonder if one of them married her, or if there was a third suitor. Or they outgrew her? Could you tell what their age was when they were rivals? Although it hardly matters, I guess, because many relationships in these dramas are life-long. The fortune-teller guy seems to have a girlfriend now, too, that woman who works in the kitchen and brings him treats. 3) Sung-chan becoming part of the Oh family was very touching. The boys were close immediately, but I guess it could have gotten complicated later. |

Actually, I got the feeling "the girl from their past" (of the older generation) was one of a loooooooonnng string of conquests for these guys. The implication was that they were rivals and went after each other's girlfriends as a matter of course. I don't think this specific one was important. But who knows, it IS a K-drama, she might show up.
