Dude, Chef Oab and I slept together.
I want to know your plan to win this competition.
What should I do?
I want to quit.
If you're going to confess your love, you should confess your sins first.
You seemed happy last night.
When are you gonna stop throwing money at people?
And if you keep this up,
you can start looking for a new physiotherapist.
What if I wanted to invest in the restaurant with you again?
This time, I won't leave.
Please give me a chance to prove myself and win you back.
Kluer, is this Chef Oab's Facebook?
Yeah, it's his personal Facebook.
Wow.
He still hasn't deleted his couple photos with Khaosuay.
He must've been heartbroken.
He wouldn’t stop posting sad quotes after they split up.
Wanna go grab drinks tonight? It’s Friday night. Should be fun.
You in? I kinda feel like dancing.
Plawan, are you coming?
No, thanks. My finger hurts.
You need your fingers to dance or what?
How should I know?
Plawan, right?
Yes.
Oab was looking for you.
At first, I thought he wanted you to help with the basil plants.
I saw Chef was talking to you
so I didn't want to disturb him.
I don’t think that’s necessary anymore.
He probably doesn’t need anyone’s help now.
Got it.
Thanks for calling to tell me about my dad.
What are you talking about?
I didn't know anything about it.
SELLING THE BUSINESS
LOOKING FOR A SUITABLE SUCCESSOR THROUGH A COOKING COMPETITION
His ex came back like this.
How am I supposed to keep moving forward?
And they look so perfect together.
Do you understand what "perfect couple" means?
Exactly!
This is the universe giving you a way out.
Turn this crisis into an opportunity.
Use this chance to let him go.
His ex is back, so let them get back together.
Your thing with him was impossible from the start anyway.
The restaurant lie was enough.
Don’t make him fall for you too.
You can go to hell alone, don't drag me down with you.
If you agree,
there’d be no need for the competition
to find the restaurant’s successor.
What do you think?
FRESH FLAVORS ORGANIC
Everyone,
the second challenge is coming up soon.
Exciting, isn't it? I wonder what the next challenge will be.
Who knows?
Khaosuay’s back,
Chef might change his mind and not sell the restaurant.
So… are they getting back together?
Does that mean this competition was for nothing?
Yeah, like…
he's got his passion back or something.
At this age, I doubt he’d play around
with something this serious.
Let's focus on preparing for the next round.
What are you all doing?
Why aren’t you prepping yet?
We just wanted to say
even if you change your mind,
we still want to prove ourselves so you’ll hire us here.
Change my mind? What are you talking about?
Well… Khaosuay came back.
Nothing’s being canceled.
Today, I'm giving you a new challenge.
Just Basil.
The challenge is just one word. Basil.
You can make any dish you want,
but basil has to be the main ingredient.
This round, I’ll be scoring based on creativity.
Whoever gets the lowest score will be eliminated.
Any questions?
No, Chef.
Good. Then get ready for today.
-Yes, Chef. -Yes, Chef.
Thank you.
-Thank you. -Thank you.
Please come again next time.
Hello, everyone.
Hello, Oab.
I have something to show you.
Let's sit down.
I was thinking of changing the storefront.
I had a friend who is an architect design a new interior for the restaurant.
Take a look. Do you like it?
It looks nice, but…
I was thinking of opening a new branch as well.
If we make everything more systematic,
you won't have to be so tired.
Isn't it too soon?
I haven't even thought about that yet.
It's okay.
Don't worry.
You just focus on the kitchen,
and I'll take care of everything else as before.
But I'm planning to sell this restaurant.
I don’t have the passion to keep running it anymore,
so renovating doesn't seem necessary to me.
Oab,
we can take our time finding that passion again.
Or do you not want to cook anymore?
I’ll help you find that passion again.
Maybe you're just tired of basil.
We could always change the restaurant concept instead.
But no matter what, there can’t be any long beans,
because I'm allergic to them.
That’s how our place got its name, right?
Eat up.
No, thanks. I'd rather join my friends for a meal.
Wait a minute.
Punsib and Kluer have already gone out for lunch.
They probably couldn't find you, so they left.
Does it smell good?
Share some with me.
No, this is mine.
You're just like a kid.
You were upset earlier,
but your mood changed once there's food.
Whose fault do you think that is?
I know you were upset,
so I came to make up with you.
You were sulking earlier.
So were Kluer and Punsib.
I haven’t agreed to anything with Khaosuay
about renovating the restaurant.
Maybe not now, but you never know in the future.
How am I supposed to trust you?
At first you said you broke up with her,
but now that she’s back, you seem pretty excited about it.
-Hey! -Chef!
What do you mean I'm excited?
Let go.
So you really are upset.
You said you didn't care at first.
I really didn't care.
I've been waiting for you to explain.
I don't want to be unreasonable.
Can you let go now?
You can trust me.
Chef!
Som, why did you call me to the clinic?
Is something wrong with the paperwork? Or did we get a new patient?
No, it's not that.
Why are you packing your stuff?
I probably won’t be seeing you for a while.
Take care of yourself, okay?
What do you mean you won’t see me for a while?
Don’t tell me you’re dying
or seriously ill without telling me.
-Oh, stop it. -Hey! Let me see.
Can you think positively for once?
Today’s just my last day here.
Wait, you’re quitting?
Why didn’t you tell me?
Hold on, you own this clinic.
How do you quit your own clinic?
I'm not quitting.
I sold it.
Someone offered me a really good price.
But don't worry,
the new owner said he's keeping everyone.
Nobody is losing their job.
Wait, so you're leaving us just like that?
Hold on a second, who is the new owner of the clinic?
You know him very well.
Oh, there he is.
Act tough all you want.
Sooner or later, you’ll realize there’s nothing money can’t buy.
What are you doing?
-Wait. -What's with you?
There’s no need to be scared of me.
I'm not afraid of you.
You can buy this place.
But if I want to quit, that’s my choice.
But I need a place where you work.
So wherever you go,
I’ll just follow and buy that business too.
You’ve already seen what I’m capable of, haven’t you?
This is real life, not Monopoly.
Do you really think
this is how you earn people’s respect?
They’re just scared of your money.
Do you really think pestering me is gonna make me give up?
Never.
Wait a minute.
Seriously, do you have any other way
to make people like you or want to be around you?
I have money. I don't need anything else.
No. You just don’t know how, and you’re too scared to try.
Let me tell you something.
If you want to win people over,
you have to earn it on your own,
not by throwing money at every problem.
Sure, you can buy this place,
but you can’t buy someone like me.
How could you even think like that?
I'm really disappointed in you.
-Wait, JJ. -Let go of me.
JJ!
Earn it on my own?
Guys, I think I’ve got a way for
all three of us to pass the second round.
If we work together
to create the menu and cook the same dish,
how can he eliminate us?
Isn't that right?
It won't work.
We would all be eliminated
if we try that.
I agree.
Chef can let a lot of things slide, but not when it comes to cooking.
Oh, do we really have to compete against each other?
I don't want to compete anymore.
Why?
Don't you want this place?
But honestly, Punsib, your family is really rich.
Why not just have your dad open a restaurant for you?
-Why compete here? -Yeah, your family is super rich.
Because I want to become a great chef on my own.
Growing up, I always had private tutors.
I never really had friends. I was always alone.
When the three of us cook together, it's amazing.
When Auto packed up and left, I was really sad.
I don't want to lose any more friends.
But this is a competition.
One day, we all have to go our separate ways.
Once this is over, our relationships will end, too.
It doesn't have to be that way.
If you really care about someone,
you make an effort to keep the relationship going.
Just because the restaurant thing ends
doesn’t mean we have to end too.
How about we make a deal?
Whoever wins, has to bring the others in to work at the restaurant.
Sure, I'm fine with that.
You two probably have a better chance of winning than I do.
Oh, man.
So hungry.
You're sneaking food from the restaurant again.
If you eat this much, I'll have to charge you.
Oh, Chef!
You scared me, coming in like that.
Still not full?
When I'm stressed, I can't eat much.
Stressed?
About what?
The competition, of course.
No one wants to lose.
About the restaurant?
Why are you asking so much?
About everything, really.
Including Khaosuay too.
Is that clear enough?
I'm going to bed. I'm tired of answering.
Hey, wait a minute!
Are you upset again?
No longer hungry?
Wait a bit.
Done.
Wow, you said you'd make something simple.
It's simple. Didn’t take me long at all.
-Oh? -I'll eat first.
Delicious.
I'm not giving it to you then.
What?
How can you do that?
You said this was for me.
Wow,
it's really good.
I'll take it to my room, then.
Good night.
Plawan, wait!
NO LONG BEANS BASIL HOUSE
Anything else?
Just some basil leaves.
This is fine.
Everyone, get ready to open the restaurant.
-Yes, Chef. -Yes, Chef.
Hello, everyone.
Hello, Khaosuay.
Hello, Oab.
Are you here to help us out?
Yes, but today I'm not here to serve.
I came up with a new dish for you to consider.
-A new dish? -Yes.
We haven’t had a new menu item in a while, Chef.
A lot of customers have been asking for one.
I got the idea from a focus group with some of our old customers.
They shared what kind of new dishes they would like to see.
Lately, lobster’s been trending at a lot of Asian chef’s tables.
But serving it as a regular basil stir-fry feels a bit too basic.
How about a clay pot lobster basil fried rice instead?
I think it would sell well.
Wow, that sounds great.
If we're to introduce a new menu,
I’ll need time to test and refine it
before we can serve it to customers.
It’s gonna take a lot of time and work.
That's why I want to tell you as soon as possible
so we could start planning early.
I've already come up with a new promotion.
I just need to finalize the graphics.
But our customers already love the current menu.
It’s basically the restaurant’s signature.
I think there's no need to change it.
Everything is perfect as it is.
What do you think, Chef?
That's true.
But…
we haven't had a new dish for a long time.
Khaosuay does have a point.
Then why don’t we make basil stir-fry with long beans?
It would surprise the customers and show that we’re rebranding.
Oab can't do that because I'm allergic to long beans.
And so?
We can't.
She's seriously allergic to them.
Then how about short beans?
Get to work.
-Yes, Chef -Yes, Chef.
Oab, take a look at the menu.
Does Plawan have something against me?
You're overthinking it.
He didn’t even know why I named the restaurant that.
Then…
do you have something going on with Plawan?
The way he talks to you,
it feels different from everyone else.
Khaosuay,
the truth is,
I and Plawan…
-we're kind of… -It's okay.
I might not understand the menu as well as you guys do.
You can decide for yourself.
If you want to add that dish,
I don’t have a problem with it.
It's so hot!
Wait, wait!
How did you get into my house?
How do you even know where I live?
I asked you a question. Answer me.
It wasn't that hard.
I just looked up the clinic’s employee records.
And why are you here?
Let me make this clear right now.
I don't care how much, I won't sell.
I’m not selling this house to you.
You don’t have to.
If I really wanted to, I could just buy up all the land
around your house and your neighbor's.
Don’t tell me you already…
I haven’t done it.
I thought about what you said the other day.
Maybe I judged you too much based on my own experiences.
You don't have to quit the clinic.
Just go back to work like normal.
However,
you’ll only be doing physical therapy for me.
I knew it.
For now,
I want to observe you first.
See if you're as kind-hearted as you claim.
Maybe you'll actually change my mind.
I'll come back to do physical therapy for you,
but I’ll be treating other patients too.
Whether you accept that or not is up to you.
Worst case, I’ll just go work at a public hospital.
I might earn less,
but you certainly can't buy a public hospital, right?
You were supposed to show me
what being a genuinely good person looks like.
Why is it so hard for you to understand?
-Damn it. -Hold on.
See?
You should be more careful when moving around.
Can you help me get inside?
It's getting hot out here.
Come on, let's go.
Standing around like this isn't good for your knee.
Or you’ll end up accusing a physiotherapist like me
of hurting a patient,
even if I want to.
Blow on the tea, please. It's hot.
Be careful not to burn your mouth.
So, on your first day after quitting, what did you do?
Nothing much.
I ate, watched movies, listened to music,
played games, and then watched some series.
You live like a 40-year-old housewife.
Oh, please.
If my life’s that much like a middle-aged housewife’s,
then stop bothering me.
Work already stresses me out enough.
I have friends too.
If Wan’s free, I always ask him to watch movies with me.
You like watching movies too?
I thought you were just
the serious, uptight type.
I watch all kinds of movies.
Comedy, drama, action, horror.
I can watch anything.
But Wan is scared of ghosts,
so I have to watch horror movies by myself.
You’re way too attached to your friend.
I don't think it's very good.
Wan isn't very smart, you know.
Hey, you.
Even though my friend seems silly and quirky,
there is one thing he has more than you,
and that's sincerity.
Otherwise, how could I have stayed friends with him all this time?
I'm sincere with you too.
But your methods are wrong.
If you used Wan's approach,
we might have been friends.
What is it?
I agree.
Agree on what?
Agree to go.
You don't need to ask me twice.
I'll go see a movie with you.
I haven't even invited you yet.
Hello.
Book a whole theater
for the most popular horror movie right now.
Any movie will do, just arrange it for me.
I’m not sure about traffic, so reserve all three showtimes.
Just in case. Take care of it for me.
You’re not changing?
You’re going out dressed like that?
Me?
I’m taking you to the movies, you know.
Shit!
How can you just barge in like that?
Well, I need to pee.
Do you want me to pee in the middle of your house?
Can't you just wait?
Stop complaining and let me pee first.
Wait.
What now?
Help me take off my pants.
Are you crazy?
I'm not doing that.
Your legs are injured,
but your hands are fine.
Well, your house doesn't have grab bars like mine.
What if I slip and fall?
Hurry up, I really need to pee.
Quickly.
Come closer.
Easy now.
Be gentle.
How am I supposed to pee like this?
-Do I have to hold it for you? -Yes, you have to.
Hurry up, I need to pee.
Okay, there you go.
And aim properly.
-Like this? -Yeah.
-Are you done yet? -Wait, stay still or it'll spill.
Hey! It's splashing everywhere.
Everyone, gather around.
I’ve decided to start selling a new dish.
I’m not adding a new menu item just to give you more work.
I just realized
I haven't trained you in creating new dishes yet.
This will be useful for the second round of the competition.
For a chef’s table, creating new dishes matters
just as much as taste.
Understand?
You don't have to explain much.
It's already clear to us.
I’ll give you a base recipe to follow,
but don’t forget that you can still improve the flavor
and presentation of the dish.
And what does the winner get?
Why are you asking?
The winning dish will be added to the menu.
Isn't that good enough?
It'll be sold here, for real.
Really? Is that true, Chef?
Go get ready, then.
-Yes, Chef. -Yes, Chef.
-Hurry up. -Yes, Chef.
-Start preparing the shrimp, Kluer. -Yes, Chef.
Stay focused.
The customers want to eat food, not your blood.
-Yes, Chef. -Yes, Chef.
Yes, Chef.
Kluer, your dish tastes good.
Stick to this flavor.
Punsib,
your presentation is pretty good.
I think combining the strengths of these two
will make a great dish for sale.
As for you,
I'm very disappointed.
I thought your skills would have improved by now.
It's clear you didn't put in the effort.
You need to figure out what you really want.
Do you just want to eat, or do you actually want to become a chef?
Plawan.
Plawan!
He tried his best, Chef.
He's just a bit stressed today.
Plawan.
Plawan, calm down.
Calm down.
It's okay. I think I'm going to drop out of the competition.
Nothing I do seems to please him.
Everything I make turns out wrong.
He probably didn't mean it that way.
You know he's always been like this.
That's true, but from the first day until now,
it's been months, and I'm still getting scolded the same way.
Maybe I really need to reconsider myself.
Hey!
Don't overthink it.
Trust me, you can do it.
You really can.
Well, I was just a bit angry.
Getting thrown a challenge like this out of nowhere,
not everyone can do it.
But what you did was already impressive.
It wasn't bad at all.
With a bit more practice, you might even surpass me.
Thanks.
Kluer,
you're probably the only one who believes in me this much.
Thank you.
It's alright.
I'll always believe in you.
You can tell me everything.
Thank you.
Well, I made the right call.
The traffic was insane.
I told you it wasn't necessary.
How could I not?
You wanted to see a movie,
I have to take care of my physiotherapist in the best way possible.
Take care of yourself first.
You gave me enough trouble.
Mom, I want to watch Paranormal Rivalry.
Why can't I see it?
The ticket seller said someone reserved the whole theater, sweetie.
Watch something else.
But I want to see it now.
Please, Mom.
Hey, you!
If you want to watch, come join us.
Oh, we wouldn't want to intrude.
It's fine.
I didn't pay for it myself, anyway.
-That guy! -You!
That gentleman over there reserved the theater for us.
Thank him, dear.
Thank you very much, handsome.
You're very generous!
So cute!
Come on, let's go watch the movie.
-Wait. -What now?
Because the kid called me handsome,
I'm letting it slide.
He meant me, obviously.
So full of yourself. Let's go.
-Let's go watch the movie. -Hey, you!
-Great job. -You!
Wait for me.
Don't turn back.
That's the real horror.
You!
Shit!
-Geez, you! -What?
Oh!
Hey you.
-What? -Don't come closer.
I'm scared.
I'm fine now.
You can go back to study.
Why are you still worried about such things?
What's going on with you?
And you,
shouldn't you be taking care of your restaurant?
What are you doing here?
Are you feeling better?
What?
I'm not sick or anything.
It's not funny, Dad.
This is not a joke.
What if something happened to you?
Why didn't you tell me?
What would I do without you?
Khaosuay, I…
I didn't mean to hide it from you.
I was just worried about you.
I didn't want you to throw away your future.
I'm sorry, dear.
Oab.
Well,
you were just worried about him,
now you're raising your voice at him.
Your daughter is always hard to please.
Besides me,
no matter how stubborn she is,
you're the only one who can handle her.
It's really a shame.
I thought we would become a family.
He's asleep now.
Let's eat.
Stir-fried curry again?
You know they always put long beans in it.
And I always have to pick them out for you.
Why would you order something you can't eat?
Thank you, Oab.
Nobody knows me as well as you do.
It's just a habit.
When you’re familiar with someone,
this kind of thing is nothing.
People don’t do things like this
for someone they only casually know.
Wow, do you have a lot of free time?
Coming to my place just to make granita.
Don’t you have your own room?
I do, but I don't want to see anyone else.
Wait.
This isn't the usual granita recipe
you make for Khaosuay, is it?
This image reminds me of someone.
It reminds me of that kid Plawan at your restaurant.
Right?
Why? If it's true, then what?
Yes!
Do whatever you want.
If you wanna openly flirt with him, just do it.
Why are you still worrying about Khaosuay when it’s already over?
I can flirt with him if I want to.
But right now, Khaosuay needs someone by her side.
Even if I don’t love her that way anymore,
my restuarant name is
"No Long Beans Basil House".
Do you know why?
Because she's allergic to long beans.
And honestly,
her life is already hard enough right now.
Do you expect me to push her away?
Oh, Oab.
How long are you going to drag this out?
Gratitude is one thing, love is another.
If it's not right, you'll end up rejecting her anyway.
If you keep this going,
aren’t you just giving her false hope?
One down.
Come on, bring it on.
Aren't you stressed?
Second round is coming up.
-Come here. -What?
If you won't think for yourself, help me think.
Help me.
Fine, fine, alright.
Consider it payback for teaching me to cook.
So, what ideas do you have, Kluer?
None.
Then think about what you’re good at.
Something you actually enjoy.
Cooking.
Besides cooking, have you ever really liked anything?
Like?
Well, yeah, but…
I can't tell you.
Huh?
Why not?
Tell me. Maybe I can help you come up with something.
Inspiration can come from anywhere.
Don't worry about looking silly.
I promise I won't make fun of you.
I can't, I just can't tell you.
How about this?
If we're stuck here, we can't think of anything.
Let's go to the amusement park.
A change of scenery might help.
Sound good?
Sounds good. We can grab something to eat too.
Kluer, let's go.
Alright, alright, let's go.
Can I finish up in the restaurant first?
Back to the game.
Yes, Oab?
Khaosuay, can you come to the restaurant?
We need to talk.
Dad's not asleep yet.
I'm busy taking care of him right now.
Can we talk another day?
Alright, take care of your dad first.
I'll wait at the restaurant.
When you're done, come see me at the restaurant.
I really want to talk about us.
But now I know that I still love him.
Nubneung, can you help talk to Oab?
At least,
let him reconsider one more time.
If we truly love someone,
we want to see them happy, right?
I think
you should also respect his decision.
I have to say,
I'm one of his close friends.
I’m not the right one to mediate this.
But if I can give you one piece of advice,
think carefully
before you do anything.
He cares about you like family.
Don't do anything that will make both of you regret it.
Excuse me, bill, please.
Oh sure, just a moment.
Think about it, okay?
Coming right up.
Here it is.
I can't go tonight.
Let's talk another day.
Plawan, let's go.
Where did Pun Sib go?
Something urgent came up.
He'll join us later if he can.
What's up with him?
He’s the one who made plans, and now he’s ditching us.
Never mind.
We're here. Let's go.
Okay, let's go.
Good luck, and all the best!
GOOD LUCK, ALL THE BEST
Kluer,
I practically handed you this chance. Don’t waste it.
Waste what?
What are you talking about?
You like Plawan, don't you?
Then just confess already.
How can you just blurt that out?
And how did you find out about this?
I mean it when I told you to confess your feelings to Plawan.
The second round of the competition is coming up,
and if one of us gets eliminated,
it might be a long time before we see each other again.
So it has to be today, understand?
Alright, I'll try my best.
Thank you so much.
Kluer,
let's go.
Yeah, I'm coming.
-This one. -This one, right?
-Look. I'll show you how to do it. -Try it now?
-Watch this. -Okay.
Shoot now.
-How's that? -My turn.
-How's my skill? -What the…?
Oh, thank you.
Isn't it cute?
What the heck.
Why?
This is for you.
Really?
For real?
Thank you, Kluer.
Here you go.
The orange one looks tasty, let me have a bite.
Hey, hey, it'll be gone!
That's enough, stop.
I'm outta here.
Have some.
Liquor?
-Want some more? -No, thanks.
-Just a bit, come on. -No, thanks.
Are you asleep? Wanna meet up?
CHEF OAB ARE YOU ASLEEP? WANNA MEET UP?
Whoa!
You scared me, Chef.
What are you doing sitting here alone this late?
Nothing much, just thinking about some stuff.
Is everyone else already in bed?
Not yet.
Kluer and Plawan aren't here yet.
It's good that you're here, Chef.
I thought I'd be alone in the restaurant.
I'm really scared of ghosts.
They aren't here yet? Where did they go?
They went to the market by the intersection.
But you don’t need to rush Kluer.
Well,
I shouldn't be telling you this, but…
I thought it's better to tell you
so you won't get mad at Kluer if they come back late.
Well,
Kluer is confessing to Plawan.
If we end up together,
whether I or Wan wins, we can still run the restaurant together.
So, you're not going to stop me from persuing him, right?
Chef?
Wow!
Plawan, hurry up.
Quick.
Let's go. Let's ride the carousel.
Come on.
Then let's go.
Not that way, come down first.

I know how Kluer feels about you,
but what I want to know more, is how you feel about Kluer.
I'm serious about you.

Can you teach me how to make it?
Sure, I can teach you.
But when I do, just don't cry. ?
