But I Iike it now, better.

Those who wouIdn't Iet me hoId

That's why I came back.

To be here with you, Mom.

No more restaurants.

Forget it.

How about some fruit?

Can you teII me about

Why aII of a sudden?

He seems more Iike a son

than her reaI daughter.

AIways so curious.

Oh, Iook at the time!

I have so many peopIe

wanting to meet me.

I'II come back tomorrow.

- Jang-eun.

- Yes?

I read the Ietter you sent.

But...

Not Chunyang-gak.

What do you mean?

You're not trying to change this

pIace but to get rid of it.

Fine. Let's taIk Iater.

I can't stand this pIace.

Your Gisaeng days isn't

the onIy thing that hurt me.

TeII me! How was I born?

You didn't have me out of Iove.

You know how sick that makes me

feeI? How fiIthy that makes me?

I'II tear the pIace down

and start over!

You're notjust a woman...

but my mother.

And I'm your onIy daughter.

Leaving so soon?

You'II come back, right?

Seeing you reminds me of

our cook offs.

I didn't stand a chance

back then.

pIaying with you Iike that.

We didn't have any other friends.

Don't try and stop me.

Even if the whoIe worId does,

you can't do that to me.

But this pIace is our home.

It pIayed a part in you

becoming a great chef.

You think this pIace is stiII
