MY DAUGHTER TURNED INTO A NUGGET

5
00:00:41,332 --> 00:00:42,709
-[woman] Your daughter? -[Choi] Huh?

6
00:00:42,792 --> 00:00:44,669
Why call a chicken nugget your daughter?

7
00:00:44,753 --> 00:00:48,006
Uh, I'm just, uh… I really love nuggets.

8
00:00:48,757 --> 00:00:50,550
I do. I love them. I…

9
00:00:50,633 --> 00:00:55,305
But th… there's one nugget that I love the most.

10
00:00:57,140 --> 00:01:00,477
Wait. How do you know so much about nuggets?

11
00:01:00,560 --> 00:01:02,604
She's the blogger I told you about.

12
00:01:02,687 --> 00:01:05,690
The best food columnist in Korea. Hongcha.

13
00:01:07,859 --> 00:01:09,986
-[onlooker] What's happening? -Why's your stomach flat?

14
00:01:10,987 --> 00:01:12,322
Do you have abs now?

15
00:01:13,406 --> 00:01:15,033
This is humiliating!

16
00:01:15,992 --> 00:01:17,911
-What's wrong with you? -Are you kidding?

17
00:01:18,536 --> 00:01:20,538
Your belly was so beautiful.

18
00:01:20,622 --> 00:01:23,333
Jesus Christ. Do we have to listen to this? Who is she?

19
00:01:23,416 --> 00:01:26,252
She's my ex-girlfriend. We broke up three years ago.

20
00:01:26,336 --> 00:01:28,713
[snorts] But she's out of your league.

21
00:01:28,797 --> 00:01:31,007
Don't lie to him with those puffed-up lips.

22
00:01:31,091 --> 00:01:33,927
-It was two years ago, not three. -Don't talk about my lips, okay?

23
00:01:34,010 --> 00:01:38,515
And that third year… was when you refused to accept that we were through.

24
00:01:38,598 --> 00:01:40,391
You can't decide to break up on your own.

25
00:01:40,475 --> 00:01:42,894
-When one falls out of love, it's over. -Asshole.

You… you said you know something about my daughter?

28
00:01:48,399 --> 00:01:50,235
Being an expert on Baekjung Nuggets,

29
00:01:51,152 --> 00:01:52,278
she'll say that she does.

You still read my blog, don't you? Any feelings left?

No. I can respect you as a blogger, but that's it.

00:01:59,869 --> 00:02:00,954
-Okay, so-- -You asshole!

34

-Asshole! Yes, he's an asshole. -Asshole?

00:02:03,331 --> 00:02:04,958
-Come on! -Maybe you still have feelings!

36
00:02:05,041 --> 00:02:08,503
You're right! Because you're the most perfect-looking guy in the whole world!

00:02:43,788 --> 00:02:44,998
Huh?

Don't. Please. Don't flash back.

52
00:02:47,876 --> 00:02:50,003
[breathing shakily] Stop it. Stop it!

53
00:02:52,505 --> 00:02:54,549

Oh, excuse me, sir.

57
00:03:02,974 --> 00:03:06,060
We're almost a full house. Would you mind sharing your table?

58
00:03:06,144 --> 00:03:08,229
As a thank you, I'll give you a free dumpling each.

-Uh, no worries. I don't mind at all. -[server] Thank you.

Excuse me. You're by yourself, right?

-You must really like Pyeong-naeng. -Mmm, I do.

70
00:03:43,848 --> 00:03:46,643
But the Pyeong-naeng's a bit different here.

71
00:03:47,936 --> 00:03:48,853
Bit different?

72
00:03:48,937 --> 00:03:50,939
It's usually made with buckwheat and flour.

73
00:03:51,022 --> 00:03:53,816
This is made with buckwheat and sweet potato starch.

74
00:03:55,151 --> 00:03:57,528
-You know your stuff. -Yes. [chuckles]

75
00:03:57,612 --> 00:03:59,405
How about we make a bet on that?

76
00:03:59,489 --> 00:04:01,616
-What? -On the ratio.

77
00:04:01,699 --> 00:04:03,201
Suyuk's on the loser.

78
00:04:04,911 --> 00:04:06,245
Sounds good.

79
00:04:06,913 --> 00:04:08,248
Hmm…

80
00:04:10,667 --> 00:04:13,544
It's chewy enough that I can't cut it with my lips.

81
00:04:14,254 --> 00:04:17,298
Six to four? Six buckwheat, four sweet potato.

82
00:04:17,382 --> 00:04:20,176
I'll say seven to three. Seven on buckwheat.

83
00:04:20,260 --> 00:04:22,345
[chuckles] Seven to three…

84
00:04:23,763 --> 00:04:24,973
Excuse me.

85
00:04:25,056 --> 00:04:27,725
It's 70% buckwheat and 30% sweet potato.

86
00:04:27,809 --> 00:04:30,103
-[Baek-joong] Aaah. -[Hongcha chuckles]

87
00:04:30,186 --> 00:04:31,145
Thank you very much.

88
00:04:31,229 --> 00:04:33,231
Could we get half a plate of suyuk?

-[server] Okay. -[Baek-joong] Thank you.

Aah, I lost that one. [chuckles]

91
00:04:38,277 --> 00:04:40,321
I'll pay for the suyuk.

92
00:04:40,405 --> 00:04:41,948
I knew the answer, actually.

93
00:04:42,532 --> 00:04:44,284
Oh, did you? [chuckles]

94
00:04:46,244 --> 00:04:49,080
Ah, it seemed a bit chewier for that ratio.

95
00:04:50,915 --> 00:04:52,250
Huh?

Wow, this is unbelievable.

101
00:05:04,804 --> 00:05:06,723
[Hongcha] You were a man so pure and clean.

102
00:05:06,806 --> 00:05:10,059
Like Pyeong-naeng broth, with a scent of meat.

103
00:05:10,727 --> 00:05:14,397
You blinded my eyes with that pure look and intoxicated me with that strong scent.

104
00:05:14,480 --> 00:05:17,525
Okay, so… so he smells like meat.

105
00:05:17,608 --> 00:05:19,152
All right, okay. Uhh…

106
00:05:19,235 --> 00:05:21,112

Ah, don't flash back.

Open your eyes. Please.

Sorry, I did it before I realized.

125
00:06:18,127 --> 00:06:20,296
[Hongcha] Tangsuyuk is a dish where you pour the sauce,

126
00:06:20,380 --> 00:06:24,509
made with starch water, vinegar, sugar, and soy sauce, over fried pork.

127
00:06:25,927 --> 00:06:26,844
[sighing] Okay.

128
00:06:26,928 --> 00:06:29,305
If you don't pour the sauce on, then it's not tangsuyuk.

129
00:06:29,389 --> 00:06:32,058
-It's just some fried pork. -[sighs] I hear you.

130

-What we ordered was tangsuyuk. -I said I hear you.

00:06:35,436 --> 00:06:36,687
We'll pour the sauce on, okay?

Don't touch me! [panting]

Don't get angry over this!

139
00:06:50,576 --> 00:06:52,537
I am not angry, okay?

140
00:06:53,287 --> 00:06:54,497
I am petrified.

00:06:54,580 --> 00:06:57,250
-Pineapple on pizza isn't that scary! -It's pizza.

142
00:06:58,876 --> 00:07:00,294
Pizza and pineapple.

143
00:07:02,213 --> 00:07:03,756
You did it on purpose, didn't you?

144
00:07:03,840 --> 00:07:06,717
Are you saying that I harassed you by ordering a pizza?

145
00:07:06,801 --> 00:07:09,011
Then why did you order it before I arrived?

146
00:07:09,929 --> 00:07:11,597
You've never done that before.

147
00:07:12,473 --> 00:07:14,392
You know what? Forget it.

148
00:07:14,475 --> 00:07:16,853
-You creep me out. -Creep you out?

149
00:07:19,105 --> 00:07:21,691
[Hongcha] You let me walk away, just like that.

150
00:07:23,359 --> 00:07:24,360
You bastard.

151
00:07:25,486 --> 00:07:28,281
You pretended to be someone who appreciates Pyeong-naeng by yourself.

152
00:07:28,364 --> 00:07:32,285
But then you eat mint chocolate, dip your pork, and get fruit on a pizza.

153
00:07:32,368 --> 00:07:34,704
You're so uptight. You don't acknowledge diversity!

154
00:07:34,787 --> 00:07:36,706
If diversity means creating something wrong,

155
00:07:36,789 --> 00:07:38,791
spreading controversy, and confusing people,

156
00:07:38,875 --> 00:07:40,042
I'm going to destroy it.

Mint chocolate

158
00:07:41,919 --> 00:07:43,045

Please, just tell me now!

167
00:07:57,685 --> 00:07:59,520
Why do you keep saying that?

168
00:07:59,604 --> 00:08:01,481
You said that wasn't my daughter!

169
00:08:01,564 --> 00:08:03,191
Oh, I did.

170
00:08:03,274 --> 00:08:06,360
Does that mean you can tell which one of these nuggets is my daughter?

171
00:08:06,444 --> 00:08:07,737
I can, but…

172
00:08:08,613 --> 00:08:11,073
-Actually come to think of it, no. -What?

173
00:08:11,157 --> 00:08:13,868
I won't get involved with someone who thinks their daughter's a nugget.

175

He's insane! Can't you see that?

a crazy teleporting machine thing.

358
00:18:31,235 --> 00:18:33,695
And how exactly are you gonna let me know?

359
00:18:34,863 --> 00:18:35,697
What?

360
00:18:35,781 --> 00:18:39,243
How do you think you're gonna tell me what happened if you also turn into a nugget?

361
00:18:39,326 --> 00:18:40,786
Look, I'm desperate here, I'm sorry.

362
00:18:40,869 --> 00:18:43,914
Stop adding to my frustration with your own problems and frustrations.

363
00:18:43,997 --> 00:18:47,501
-Okay. -I thought about going in a million times.

364
00:18:47,584 --> 00:18:49,044
But what if it goes wrong?

365
00:18:49,545 --> 00:18:51,672
Who would turn Min-ah back into herself?

366
00:18:52,881 --> 00:18:55,092
I can't take such careless risks.

00:18:55,175 --> 00:18:56,260

368
00:18:57,052 --> 00:18:59,054
Let's find the professor. [grunts]

369
00:19:03,100 --> 00:19:04,268
Min-ah?

370
00:19:06,353 --> 00:19:08,814
I'm going to do some research on Professor Yoo.

371
00:19:09,398 --> 00:19:13,777
By the way, you know, the professor was studying that machine.

372
00:19:13,861 --> 00:19:15,320
Do you think it was thrown out?

373
00:19:15,404 --> 00:19:18,490
Should I look for people from Professor Yoo's old project management team?

374
00:19:18,574 --> 00:19:20,158
-Good idea. Okay. -Okay.

375
00:19:20,242 --> 00:19:21,660
[Choi] And, also,

376
00:19:23,162 --> 00:19:26,790
could you get… the books on my list here?

377
00:19:27,374 --> 00:19:29,668
They're hard to find. They're Professor Yoo's books.

378
00:19:29,751 --> 00:19:33,172
You got it. I'll check the Internet and every book store in town.

379
00:19:33,255 --> 00:19:34,506
-Okay. -[pats shoulder]

380
00:19:34,590 --> 00:19:35,549
All right.

381
00:19:36,383 --> 00:19:38,427
[grunts] I'll be back.

382
00:19:39,511 --> 00:19:41,388
-Keep up the good work. -[Baek-joong] Sure.

383
00:19:45,976 --> 00:19:49,187
I can't reveal the investigation reports to the public.

384
00:19:49,271 --> 00:19:50,772
But I can promise you,

385
00:19:50,856 --> 00:19:53,275
I won't stop you if you want to find out for yourself.

[cop] He would visit his sister-in-law, who had dementia,

391
00:20:14,296 --> 00:20:16,548
or he went to his studio apartment.

392
00:20:16,632 --> 00:20:19,301
He didn't go anywhere else, other than those two places.

393
00:20:20,219 --> 00:20:22,137
[woman] Why do you wanna look for him?

394
00:20:22,221 --> 00:20:24,473
Ah, I'm studying the same machine that he studied.

395
00:20:24,556 --> 00:20:25,724
[woman] Ugh, I'm sick of it.

396
00:20:25,807 --> 00:20:30,062
She was his only relative, so are there anything like flyers or--

397
00:20:30,145 --> 00:20:33,148
What's the point of flyers? It was already on TV.

398
00:20:33,232 --> 00:20:35,192
[inhales] Right, but…

399
00:20:35,275 --> 00:20:37,527
The problem? The men in this family.

400
00:20:37,611 --> 00:20:38,820
Huh?

401
00:20:38,904 --> 00:20:44,076
Her husband was an absolute lazy bum, never worked a day in his life.

402
00:20:44,159 --> 00:20:46,787
I don't know. I guess it's good he died early.

403
00:20:47,412 --> 00:20:48,413
And her two sons.

404
00:20:48,497 --> 00:20:50,374
The oldest one doesn't even care.

405
00:20:50,457 --> 00:20:53,252
He hasn't been in touch since he became a TV star.

406
00:20:53,335 --> 00:20:56,088
The younger one was a smart, promising kid.

407
00:20:56,171 --> 00:20:59,716
But he followed his machine-crazy uncle around and went crazy too.

408
00:20:59,800 --> 00:21:01,551
I don't know where he is now.

409
00:21:01,635 --> 00:21:04,137
After all that, her condition got worse.

410
00:21:04,221 --> 00:21:06,306
Oh, I see. I'm sorry.

411
00:21:07,224 --> 00:21:10,143
Do you know, uh, where he'd usually go?

412
00:21:10,227 --> 00:21:12,396
Laboratory, laboratory, laboratory.

413
00:21:13,146 --> 00:21:15,232
He just came by now and then to check on her.

414
00:21:15,816 --> 00:21:19,987
But he was broke. He blew all the money he received from the government.

415
00:21:20,070 --> 00:21:21,905
Is there any other place you can think of?

416
00:21:21,989 --> 00:21:23,949
Tear that lab down, dig up the ground,

417
00:21:24,032 --> 00:21:26,952
and you might find him there. He has nowhere else to go, anyway.

Whew.

421
00:21:38,630 --> 00:21:41,133
[Choi] Why did he go all the way there?

422
00:21:41,717 --> 00:21:42,884
Hah.

423
00:21:42,968 --> 00:21:45,429
[thinks] He was well-known and his case was on the news,

424
00:21:45,512 --> 00:21:47,973
and there's less than ten articles about him.

425
00:21:48,056 --> 00:21:51,476
People aren't interested in scientists. He must've been a lonely man.

428
00:21:56,565 --> 00:21:57,399
Yes, Mr. Ko.

429
00:21:57,482 --> 00:21:58,817
Hello, Mr. Choi. I finally found

430
00:21:58,900 --> 00:22:01,320
the head project manager of Professor Yoo's lab,

431
00:22:01,403 --> 00:22:03,280
and spoke over the phone. Luckily, he was

432
00:22:03,363 --> 00:22:04,906
my school friend's mom's cousin's

433
00:22:04,990 --> 00:22:08,201
younger second cousin's teacher's first love's older brother's friend.

434
00:22:08,285 --> 00:22:11,246
-You did a lot of research on all of them. -I did!

435
00:22:11,330 --> 00:22:14,499
[chuckles] Uh, he said that after Professor Yoo disappeared,

436
00:22:14,583 --> 00:22:17,502
researchers discarded the major materials themselves,

437
00:22:17,586 --> 00:22:19,838
and a contracted company took the remaining scrap metals.

438
00:22:19,921 --> 00:22:23,925
But no one had any idea about that machine Professor Yoo was studying.

439
00:22:24,009 --> 00:22:25,886
If that machine wasn't classified

440
00:22:25,969 --> 00:22:27,012
as inherently valuable,

441
00:22:27,095 --> 00:22:28,972
and, given that it looked like a normal cabinet,

442
00:22:29,056 --> 00:22:32,351
that company might have resold it as second-hand office goods

443
00:22:32,434 --> 00:22:33,435
after they picked it up.

444
00:22:33,518 --> 00:22:35,270
That is a good theory.

445
00:22:35,354 --> 00:22:37,606
Did they give you any kind of location?

446
00:22:37,689 --> 00:22:38,607
Yes, it is in

447
00:22:38,690 --> 00:22:41,526
Gimpo. Should I go and check that one out just in case?

448
00:22:41,610 --> 00:22:44,154
No. I'll go there. I'm close by.

449
00:22:44,237 --> 00:22:48,033
Uh, text me the address, and just take care of the books on that list, please.
