Getting any better at cooking?
You need to improve fast.
-Kluer? -Plawan,
please don't tell Chef.
-But I’m not covering for you for free. -What do you want, then?
Teach me how to cook.
Will I get a chance to cook?
You think one night of practice will make you a master?
Hey, you!
What's up? Not feeling so tough now?
If you’re going to keep bothering me like this, you can leave.
Saying things like this,
does it mean you want to eat me
as much as you want to eat basil stir-fry?
This granita is delicious!
Oab, can you add it to the menu?
I think it would sell really well.
Nope.
I’m only making this for you, Khaosuay.
I'm not a pastry chef,
but I'll make desserts for my special person.
Understand?
Oab, you are the sweetest!
Oh my god, what was that?
Think, think!
Oh, stop whining already.
That was a K-I-S-S,
a kiss, dude.
Chef Oab was about to kiss you but changed his mind at the last second.
It's not your first time.
Why would he want to kiss me?
Like, he has feelings for me?
How would I know?
But if you almost kissed,
there must be some feelings.
Maybe he was just teasing me.
Whether Chef Oab has feelings for you or not, I don’t know.
But you, Wan, you're definitely feeling something.
Are you catching feelings for Chef Oab?
So?
I'm not!
I’m just confused.
I don’t want him messing with my head.
You're crazy.
I don't have feelings for that chef at all.
But if he likes you, wouldn’t that work in your favor?
If Chef Oab likes you, you could benefit from it.
Because it would make things easier
with the Methas deal.
But I'm warning you, if you get swayed, this won't end well.
The restaurant rule is no coming back after 10 PM.
Aren’t you worried about losing points?
Do whatever you want, Chef.
Are you mad at me?
No, I'm just annoyed.
I don’t like things being unclear.
Let’s be clear here.
About us on the rooftop, how do you really feel about it, Chef?
Just think of it as nothing ever happened.
Alright.
Nothing happened.
I hope you'll stick to what you said.
How are you? Did you sleep well?
Yes.
-That's good. -Good morning, Chef.
Everyone's here, right? Get to work.
-Go! -Yes, Chef.
The selection day is approaching.
Let me remind you again,
everything that happens in this kitchen will be counted as points.
Does anyone want to switch stations today?
I'd like to work the stir-fry station.
That’s the one I’m most confident in.
I want the frying station.
I want to try frying again.
Should I take customer service, Chef?
So Plawan can finally try working in the kitchen.
So, what do you think? You've been doing service,
do you want to try working in the kitchen?
I do want to,
but on second thought, maybe not.
I think staying out of kitchen is best for everyone.
Auto, you’re on stir-fry.
Punsib, you take the frying station.
Kluer, you're on dishwashing.
Today's tasks are divided like this. Let's get to work.
-Yes, Chef. -Yes, Chef.
Plawan, is something wrong?
Things have been tense between you and Chef.
Is it because Chef caught you coming back late last night?
I saw you didn’t get back to the room until around midnight.
No, it's something else.
if there's nothing, then it's fine.
Even if Chef can be harsh sometimes, just bear with it.
He doesn't really mean it.
Chef Oab does things without thinking, right?
Besides you, who else can work with him?
Why wouldn't there be?
Despite his personality, Chef Oab is really popular.
He even had a serious girlfriend before.
What? Really?
Her name was Khaosuay.
They were together for a long time and were about to get married.
But then, out of nowhere, Khaosuay
decided to study abroad
and left the restaurant completely.
After that, Chef Oab lost his passion
and decided to pass the restaurant on to someone else.
Sounds like he still loves her a lot.
Just look around this restaurant.
Khaosuay helped Chef decorate the place.
If he had moved on,
he would’ve changed everything a long time ago.
But he hasn’t.
Everything’s still exactly the same.
Because of that,
he’s not thinking about starting over with anyone anytime soon.
Right this way, please.
Our restaurant offers a five-course menu.
Is there any food you're allergic to?
No allergies.
-Great. -Can I take a picture?
Sure.
How about a selfie?
Can you take a picture for us?
Gladly.
Going all out, aren't you?
Chef, do you want to cook the next dish yourself?
Chef?
-What is it? -The ingredients are ready.
Should I put them in the pan now?
No need, I'll handle it myself.
Chef seems a bit off today.
He never spaces out like this,
and he looks ready to snap any second.
You’re the one closest to him, so be careful.
Don’t you have anything to do? Go somewhere else.
So annoying.
SEASONING SAUCE GREEN CAP (SOYBEAN SAUCE)
Chef, are you making the sauce?
Yes, this is my special recipe sauce.
What's this technique called, Chef?
And what are the ingredients?
First, stir-fry the chili and garlic until fragrant.
How long do you need to stir-fry the garlic, Chef?
If you have so many questions,
you might as well film how I cook.
Go prep the next dish.
-Now! -Yes, Chef.
Plawan!
-Are you coming to eat? -Sure.
What's on the menu today?
Fried pork and stir-fried veggies.
Want some?
-Is it delicious? -Bring the rice, come on.
Chef Oab!
Join us for a meal. I'll get you some rice.
Alright, I'm in.
Come on, join us.
Hey, Plawan. Where are you going?
I'm full.
I'll go prep the ingredients for the next round.
Hey, wait!
Kluer, is your roommate going to be annoying like this all day?
Seriously, Chef,
did you do something to Plawan last night?
No, nothing.
If you didn't do anything,
then Plawan probably doesn't have a reason to be angry.
Maybe he's just irritated for some reason.
You don't have to worry about him.
Let's eat.
Come on.
I'll take care of Plawan. Don't worry.
Why did he come there?
Damn it. I just ate one piece of pork.
So hungry. Is there anything to eat?
No, I'm not hungry.
Auto, let's go eat some food?
Auto!
Auto, what are you doing?
Are you writing something?
Why are you always sneaking around like this?
Are you really that stressed about the big test?
I always see you writing stuff down and looking all serious.
I'm just preparing like everyone else.
Thinking up recipes, presentation ideas. Are you not doing that?
Of course I am. I’ve done a ton. Wanna see?
Here.
These are some dishes I had taken for inspiration.
I also found some pictures online.
Looking at them might spark some new ideas.
Are you really showing your prep work to a competitor?
I don't see any problem with it.
I saw you were stressed and just wanted to help.
But I didn't ask for your help.
Can you stop hovering around me?
Just sharing a room with others
is already making me feel uncomfortable enough.
-The basket is here. -Put it there.
What's going on, Som?
What is it? Why are you looking at me like that?
JJ!
What did you do to Mr. Methas, my double VIP patient?
I didn't do anything.
And who told you anyway?
That greedy Mr. Methas.
His secretary did.
He contacted the clinic to complain.
He said the physiotherapist we sent to take care of him the other day
didn't do a good job,
and now Mr. Methas's knee is dislocated.
How is that my fault?
I already warned him, but Mr. Methas was stubborn.
I even stayed with him during his knee surgery.
I went above and beyond,
and he still complains about me?
Have you ever seen me mess up at work?
I know you've always been meticulous.
But he's the one complaining, so what am I supposed to do?
Just ignore him.
Let him keep being dramatic. He’ll stop eventually.
Or is he going to sue me?
If he wants to sue, then let him.
I have all the evidence to back up everything I've said.
Have you seen his reputation?
If he posts this on social media, our clinic will be done for.
Even if we're not in the wrong,
once it's out there, it will be hard to prove otherwise.
I think there's an easier way.
You might have to bite the bullet.
What do you mean?
Oh, Som.
This stuff is heavy.
DR. AKARAWUT TEERAKITBUNNAKARN MR. METHAS SIRAMONGKOLSAWAT
Alright, let's do it. Consider it for my future.
Let's go, JJ.
I already told you.
I’m not using those crutches.
If you don’t do physical therapy properly, your condition won’t improve.
I already said
I'll pay whatever it takes.
Just help me recover as fast as possible
without using those crutches.
You don’t understand. I have billions worth of business to manage.
If I could leave the hospital tomorrow, even better.
But you just had surgery.
I’ll just switch hospitals.
It would be better than wasting time with people like you.
Excuse me,
but could you speak to people more respectfully?
Just because you're rich doesn't mean you can belittle others.
You again?
Didn’t my secretary already file a complaint about you?
Why are you still here?
Actually, I came here to apologize to you.
But after seeing how you treat others,
I changed my mind.
And if you want to file another complaint about my work,
go ahead.
You… ouch!
You really shouldn't move around too much in your condition.
You should listen to the doctor
and rest.
And stop worrying about work for now.
Let me suggest something.
You should find someone to look after you.
If you didn't treat people so badly, maybe you would have someone around.
Damn it!
Is the food not to your liking?
I can have your usual restaurant adjust the recipe and send over a new one.
No need. I'm not hungry.
Go ahead and arrange my discharge for tomorrow.
What about the physical therapy plan the doctor recommended?
I have a place in mind already.
-Just contact them for me. -Understood.
Let me suggest something.
You should find someone to look after you.
So hungry.
If you don't eat during the day, you might faint at night.
Normally, you shouldn't be cooking for me.
What exactly are you doing this as, Chef?
As your boss, of course. So, are you going to eat or not?
What's up with you, inviting me for a beer all of a sudden?
Why? Can't I invite you anymore?
Cocky now?
Owning a restaurant
-has changed your personality? -Stop.
Are you taking your frustration with the restaurant out on me?
If you’re upset with someone,
just call them out and get it over with.
It’s not that I’m upset.
It's just that there's this one person
who loves to argue back.
I have to make it up to them.
Do you have any cool ideas for that?
There are ways. But first I need to ask,
what are you making up to them as?
A staff member at your restaurant?
Or someone you’re into?
Oh boy, you're asking for it.
-Come here. -Ouch!
You really haven’t quit that habit?
What habit?
Always butting in and assuming things.
Then why are you complaining to me?
See? You didn't deny it.
See? I'm not imagining things.
But you’ve never been the type
to make up with anyone.
When Khaosuay broke up with you, you cried like crazy,
but you didn’t try to win her back.
It's not the same at all.
But this is a good sign, Oab.
It means you’re finally starting to move on from Khaosuay.
And honestly, that’s a good thing.
But let me tell you this.
if you still can’t let go of your past relationship,
don’t make up with them.
It might cause problems later on.
You need to be sure of yourself first.
So… if I'm sure of myself,
what should I do next?
Well, let's go!
And we go together.
Try to make things right and make a move on them.
What are you waiting for?
-What kind of song is that? -What?
Bottoms up!
Bottoms up, cheers!
Yes!
Yeah, that's it, go, go!
Hello?
Just a moment, please.
Go ahead!
Yes?
Shit!
What's this technique called?
-And the ingredients? -What's up?
Writing something?
Did he write down everything?
SCALLOP BASIL SOUP
Get in!
SENERA SENIOR WELLNESS
What happened?
Don’t tell me I already got served with a lawsuit.
What's going on, Som?
What's with you, JJ?
I just wanted to ask what you said to Mr. Methas yesterday.
Why did he suddenly buy the premium package?
This is huge!
Are you for real?
Of course, I am.
Well, congratulations on landing a big client.
Better tell Ek, your star physiotherapist, to brace himself.
That guy's mood swings are like someone going through menopause.
What?
I never said Ek was handling him.
Oh, if not him, then who?
He treated Mr. Methas before.
Well, this time, Mr. Methas specifically asked for you.
What? Me?
-Yeah. -I'm not doing it.
No way, Som.
Find someone else for this case.
I don't want to ruin this.
-Oh, come on. -No, I'm not doing it.
You work so well, how could you ruin it?
You're starting today. Alright?
Som!
MR. METHAS SIRAMONGKOLSAWAT
What did I do to deserve this?
NO LONG BEANS BASIL HOUSE
Chef?
What is it?
Well…
Nothing, Chef.
If there's nothing, then get ready.
The next round of the competition is coming up.
Yes, Chef.
Today is the first major test.
I'll remind you of the rules again.
Today, one person will be eliminated.
If you don't want it to be you, give it your best shot.
The challenge, as I mentioned earlier,
is basil stir-fry with a round fried egg.
Each of you gets one egg.
If you mess up, you're out of the competition
because there's no room for mistakes in this kitchen.
You have 15 minutes.
If you're ready, you may begin.
-Yes, Chef. -Yes, Chef.
Alright. Stay focused.
You can do it.
Hey!
Oh no! Hey…
Auto, help me out here, please.
Kluer, Plawan, please help me.
Punsib,
I'll split the egg for you.
Plawan, what are you doing?
Are you crazy?
Come here, I'll help.
I'll help you out.
This should be enough to make a fried egg.
Thank you, Plawan. Thank you, Kluer.
He seems like a really nice guy.
No wonder you’ve got your eye on him.
Nueng, you're talking too much.
Ten seconds left.
Ten, nine
eight,
seven,
six,
five,
four,
three,
two,
one,
time's up. Everyone, stop.
The flavor is spot on. The seasoning’s infused into the meat.
The fried egg is also done nicely.
I like the presentation of this dish.
It complements the braised pork basil well.
Thank you, Chef.
Auto, you did a good job stir-frying the meat.
It’s got a nice hint of wok char.
The flavor is intense and rich.
Thank you, Chef.
This dish is good.
Punsib, your frying skills are impressive.
The egg is just a bit small.
But I like your plating style.
It's aesthetically pleasing.
As for the egg, I think you handled it well.
Thank you, Chef.
Hey, aren't you going to comment?
No, it's done.
I’ll announce it now then.
The person who will be eliminated today is…
Auto.
How is that possible, Chef?
My dish is the most perfect one here!
Both the basil stir-fry and the fried egg met the criteria perfectly.
How could you decide like that?
Pubsib was in trouble, what were you doing?
I was focusing on my own dish, Chef.
You're right.
But kitchen work can’t be done alone.
If one person slips up, someone else has to step in,
otherwise, the restaurant goes down.
I told you, I evaluate everything.
And another thing.
I’m not letting someone who works for Methas make it through.
You work for Methas?
How can you accuse me of that?
You've been sneaking out to make phone calls every night.
Did you think I wouldn't notice?
I told you, everything that happens in this restaurant, I know it all.
But you don't have any evidence.
Then how do you explain this, Auto?
RIB EYE WITH BASIL SAUCE
This isn't just exam preparation.
It’s like you’re gathering some information.
Punsib, hand that over.
Hey, these are all the recipes from your restaurant,
including the cost prices and supplier contacts.
Got anything to say for yourself?
I’m really not working for Methas.
How am I supposed to believe you?
Well…
To be honest, my family runs a restaurant too,
but it's a Chinese restaurant.
Our restaurant is about to go bankrupt,
so I had to find some way to save it.
Then I saw Chef's announcement.
I thought if I could come here, learn, and note down your basil recipes,
maybe I could build on them for my restaurant
and bring my customers back.
That's all.
And what about coming out to make phone calls every night,
how do you explain that?
I was talking to my mom.
If you don't believe me, I can show you.
Auto. Is something wrong, dear?
Why are you calling?
Don't you have a test today? How did it go?
Yeah.
I got eliminated, Mom.
I'm sorry.
That's okay, sweetheart. It's just a loss.
Come back to our home..
Yes, Mom. I'll come back soon.
Chef,
even though I might have had some hidden intentions,
I never had any ill will towards your restaurant.
I can assure you that I'm not working for Methas.
Besides, I don't want your restaurant,
and I have no intention of taking it from you.
Auto. I…
I apologize for not believing in you.
It's alright.
I knew you’d noticed for a while now.
But you didn't say anything, did you?
If Chef Oab hadn't brought it up, you wouldn't have said anything, right?
Thank you very much.
And were you keeping to yourself
because you had to hide your true intentions?
No, I'm just like this by nature.
Anyway, thanks a lot for being a good roommate all along.
I’ll hop on Instagram and like your photos occationally.
It's okay, Auto.
NO LONG BEANS BASIL HOUSE
Let's meet again sometime.
Wait.
Yes, Chef?
Chef, you're letting me keep this?
Yes.
But I'm not letting you copy all the recipes.
I believe you're talented.
You'll find the unique selling point of your restaurant for sure.
But you need to be more confident in yourself.
And whenever you need someone to taste-test, you can always call me.
Thank you, Chef.
If I come up with a new dish at my restaurant,
and I'll invite everyone to try it.
-You guys, too. -Okay.
I'll definitely be there.
Count me in! I'll give it a 5-star review.
See you later.
-See you later. -I can't wait.
-Okay? -Alright, bye.
Here, have some water.
Does Mr. Methas live here alone?
Or does his family live in another house?
Should I go in and greet them first?
His family passed away
while Mr. Methas was studying abroad.
It was a big news at the time.
Now, it's just his secretary who stops by occasionally.
Oh, really?
-I'll go get Mr. Methas for you. -Alright.
Where are your family and your secretary?
My secretary came to sort out the insurance paperwork and then left.
As for family, I don't have anyone.
What is this all about?
THE BILLIONAIRE BUSINESS FAMILY TRAGICALLY DIED IN AN ACCIDENT
MR. SUTATH SIRAMONGKOLSAWAT
A REAL ESTATE BUSINESSMAN, WAS INVOLVED IN AN ACCIDENT
Oh, no.
Quite a professional physical therapist. Even showed up before the scheduled time.
Hello, Mr. Methas.
Let me help you.
Walking like this is dangerous.
Sit down carefully.
Today, we'll be doing physiotherapy for 45 minutes.
First, could you please change into something more comfortable?
What's wrong with this outfit?
This is the most comfortable outfit I have.
Sportswear would be fine.
Excuse me,
could you please bring Mr. Methas a set of workout clothes?
I'll help him change.
-Sure. -Thank you.
Allow me to help you change your clothes.
This type of outfit makes it difficult for me to work.
Unbutton your shirt for me.
I didn't think you'd actually come here for the physiotherapy.
See? There's nothing money can't buy.
I didn't come here because of money.
I'm just here to do my job.
I don’t want anyone getting dragged into this
just because you have a problem with me.
Do you always do things that don’t benefit you just for others?
When you were at the hospital,
what is it you wanted? My money?
Connections that can help you?
What makes you think that way?
Do I look like someone who wants something from you?
I don't understand.
If there’s nothing in it for you, then why do it?
You don't have to understand for now.
One day, you will.
Let's start the session.
Are you feeling tense?
A little.
This is just a warm-up.
Take it easy.
Bear with it a bit.
Lift your knee.
-Fold your leg. -Take it slowly.
It's okay, I'm helping.
Please be gentle.
-It hurts. -I know, I know.
Okay, slowly.
Ready?
Ouch, you!
Does it hurt?
I can bear it.
How are you feeling?
It still hurts.
Ouch!
Taking me outside like this,
is this included in the physical therapy package?
How much extra do I have to pay?
You don't have to pay anything.
I'm doing this because I genuinely want to help you.
You're in pain and stuck at home,
you probably don’t want to ask anyone for help, right?
I believe that when we do things for others,
we don’t always have to expect something in return.
It's too tight, you know.
That's the point. It will help you recover faster.
Why are you doing all this for me?
So you can be in a better mood
and you'll stop being so grumpy towards others.
Let me tell you, the mind affects the body.
The more stressed you are, the slower your recovery will be.
You seem to hate me,
but every time we meet, my heart races uncontrollably.
If it's not racing out of anger,
it's racing for another reason.
Are you some kind of heart therapist?
What nonsense are you talking about?
If you want me to stay with you,
please be quiet
and focus on your therapy so you can recover quickly.
Then we can go our separate ways.
At first, I wanted to recover quickly,
but now, not so much.
Please take care of me for a long time,
Dr. JJ.
-What? -I've told you many times,
I'm not a doctor, I'm a physiotherapist.
Alright, Mr. physiotherapist JJ.
Where's Kluer and Punsib?
They went upstairs. They said they were exhausted.
Aren't you going to thank me for the basil stir-fry?
How long are you going to ignore me?
Here you go, Chef. I was just about to thank you.
-Are you going to cook for me? -Yes.
As a thank you for making basil stir-fry for me the other day,
today I'm making basil stir-fry for you.
That sounds interesting.
Did you come up with this recipe yourself, or did you get it from somewhere?
My mom used to make this dish for me.
I only remember the taste.
I don't know what ingredients she used exactly,
so I tried to recreate the taste from my memory.
This is the result.
"Beef Basil for the One I Love".
I named this dish for my mom.
It might not be as delicious as your basil stir-fry,
but I hope it's not too bad.
Did I say it wasn't delicious?
-What? -It's good.
You marinated the beef in milk first, so it's tender.
Cutting it into pieces like this is just right.
You used water instead of oil,
so you toasted the chili and garlic first.
The aroma is still there.
For you to make it this well, that's impressive.
When will you finally take pride in yourself?
You just won today.
Aren't you happy?
Even though I'm happy, I feel guilty.
Auto is truly more skilled than I am.
These things require experience.
Your journey is just beginning. There's still plenty of time.
But I do admire you for helping Punsib in the kitchen today.
Giving me so much praise, what do you want in return?
Are you going to ask me to help plant basil again?
I'm not asking for anything.
I just want to give you a little reward for your positive attitude.
-Come on in. -Okay.
What's this? You brought me here for dessert?
Not exactly a dessert, but you could call it a sweet treat.
Would you like some?
Of course, I love food.
By the way, Chef, you can make desserts too?
I never saw any on the restaurant menu.
What is this?
This is called granita.
Try it.
It's incredibly delicious, Chef.
Why don't you sell this?
I don't sell it. This is a special menu item.
Or am I not the first person
you've brought up to the third floor to eat granita?
No, you’re not.
I made it only for my ex-girlfriend.
She was the daughter of a mentor I respected.
But after we broke up, I stopped making desserts.
I only ever made them for her.
Then why are you telling me this?
Because you made me want to make granita again
but with a new flavor.
Internal Summer,
the taste of summer that looks just like you.
If you start, I won't let you stop like last time.
I AM ABOUT TO TRANSFER ANOTHER PAYMENT,
AND I HOPE YOU'LL MAKE IT TO THE FINAL ROUND.
I slept with Chef Oab.
I want to know your plan for winning this competition.
What should I do? I don't want to do this anymore.
If you're going to confess your love,
you should confess your sins first.
You seemed happy last night.
You can leave now. I can take care of myself.
Mr. Methas?
Be careful.
Oab!
Khaosuay! .
