Dali and the Cocky Prince (2021) s01e01 Episode Script

ST. MILLER KUNST GALLERY
If it wasn't for Modigliani,
I'd never go to that party.
They're too busy flaunting their money
to care about the party.
Still
you need to meet all sorts of people
to broaden your horizons.
-Because what's real can
-Because what's real can
-only be found within the world.
-only be found within the world.
By the way,
what have you been munching on?
Are you having chips?
Da-li, have you been skipping your meals
because you've been studying?
How many days did you starve this time?
I didn't starve.
Don't lie.
A true adult never skips meals
or loses sleep.
Didn't I tell you numerous times
to at least set an alarm
so that you won't forget to eat?
Who cares if you're the youngest person
with that title or have a doctorate
if you can't even eat properly?
Is there no food?
I'm sure there is.
I'm sure Ms. Prinsen bought some food.
It feels like I'm in Korea.
What?
Hearing you nag makes me feel
like I'm home right now.
You little brat. Don't change the subject.
I miss you, Dad.
It's been way too long, hasn't it?
Goodness. Don't pretend to miss me
when you can't even eat properly.
Goodness.
Speaking of which,
I'm planning to make time to visit.
I'd like to say hi to Director Koch.
But most of all, I need to check on you.
Once this exhibition is over
What?
Hello?
KOREAN NATIVE PIG
BERKSHIRE
DUROC
YORKSHIRE
DONDON F&B FW SEASON
NEW MENU EXHIBITION
This premium gamjatang
has been created to be served
at five-star hotels.
This dish will be able to satisfy
the needs of our diverse
and sophisticated guests.
I guarantee it.
The meat tastes different.
I knew it. You have a discerning palate.
To suit the concept
of a premium dish at a 5-star hotel,
we handpicked the best cuts
of Iberian pork,
which is one
of the top four delicacies in the world.
and prepared it accordingly.
I see.
It's no wonder.
While eating this I felt like
I was a matador, fighting for his life
under the hot, burning sun.
I knew it.
Here you go.
This is fried rice to finish off the dish.
Regular fried rice
can't hold a candle to this.
Instead of using flying fish roe,
I used Russian caviar
and cooked it on high heat.
This is unbelievable.
Do you mean
this is the same caviar Russians use
when cooking food for their tzars?
This is the most sophisticated Korean dish
that we can share with the world.
What a load of garbage.
A load of
Sorry?
Tell me.
How much will this cost?
The cost
Befitting the terms "premium"
and a "five-star hotel",
a medium-size
will cost 180,000 won.
So 180,000
Sorry?
So 180,000 won?
I don't think you understand.
Iberian pork and Russian caviar
are quite expensive so
What is gamjatang?
It's a filling, inexpensive dish
for regular people.
That's what it is.
Inexpensive, plentiful, and filling!
That's what it needs to be.
Iberian pig? Caviar?
Why do we need to be reminded of Spain
and matadors while eating this?
It was a poetic way
of explaining the taste.
What a load of garbage.
It really isn't
Come on.
I didn't postpone my business trip
to hear this load of garbage.
This business trip
is worth 20 billion won.
Understand?
Give me my money's worth.
Please!
Gosh.
Darn it.
An attendant will be waiting for you
when you land,
so you won't have to do anything.
The team and I will depart as soon as
the legal advice is carried out.
By the way,
about that "tzar"
What gives that scumbag the right
to have the caviar all to himself?
Well
It's not some scumbag,
it means a Russian emperor.
I see. A Russian emperor.
You could've just said "Russian emperor."
Did you want to show off by using English?
It's Russian, not English.
I know. I know that.
Don't take it so literally.
If it means a Russian emperor, of course
it's a Russian word, not English.
"Tzar"! It sounds Russian.
It also sounds the same in English.
By the way,
will you be wearing that watch?
You'll have to declare it at customs.
And it's very expensive.
What are you talking about?
Luxury items should be worn
at times like this.
If not, why would I buy
such an expensive watch
when my phone can tell the time too?
I see.
Look.
I need to wear this to astound them.
FATHER
Yes?
Did you lend money without my knowing?
What do you mean all of a sudden?
Hey. Did you lend money
to an art gallery or a museum?
I never
Do you think I have money to burn?
I'd be crazy to lend them money.
Then why did Cheongsong Museum of Art
send you a chamber pot?
When I asked, they said it was
a token of gratitude for the loan.
Jeez. What is wrong with him?
Whatever. I know nothing about that.
I'm sure they were mistaken.
But you shouldn't break their chamber pot.
Let Ms. Yeo take care of it.
I'll send her to you.
Enough with this. Where are you right now?
You had a tasting today for our new dish.
Are you still at work?
I'm not at work right now.
I'm at the airport.
I'm going on a business trip today.
For the contract deal with
the Pork Association in the Netherlands.
Postpone your business trip.
Come back right now!
-Come back here and
-Dad.
My flight is about to take off.
I have to hang up.
Hello?
What is this?
No
Gosh
You brat.
How dare you?
Hey!
Stop right there!
You brat! Hey!
Stop right there!
I'll go and earn my keep!
You brat! You're dead meat
when you come back!
-Don't just stand there! Pull it out!
-Yes, sir.
Pull it out now!
Yes, sir.
The number you have dialed
cannot be reached.
Come on, answer the phone.
A gallery?
It's not just some gallery.
It's Cheongsong Museum of Art.
I'm sure you know that not getting invited
to their year-end party
would cause people to look down on you
no matter how much money you have.
Why would a prominent gallery
like that want to borrow money from me?
To be precise, it's an investment.
Cheongsong Museum of Art
would make a fortune
if they were to sell
one of their paintings.
Why would they need our money?
Then tell them to sell their paintings.
Come on, man.
How much longer do you want
to be looked down on
as the son
of a gamjatang restaurant owner?
-What?
-Money isn't the only prerequisite
to being in the upper class.
We need status.
That's why we need
Cheongsong Museum of Art.
So are you telling me that lending money
to Cheongsong Museum of Art
will give us status as wealthy men?
No one uses words like "wealthy" anymore.
It's all about the inner circle.
Look, this is how you network.
It's how you do business.
Korea has always been like this.
Forget it.
I'm not interested
in this nonsense. I'm off.
Are you brushing me off
because I'm not your biological brother?
-Gi-cheol.
-If I were his biological son,
I wouldn't
grovel to you like this.
It's just that this is
a great opportunity. That's all.
Please?
The number you have dialed
Whatever.
It was my money.
What can Dad do about that?
Right.
Call the General Affairs Department.
And cancel Mu-hak's credit cards!
Pardon? He's on a business trip
to the Netherlands.
I don't care about his trip!
Just do as I say.
-Hurry!
-Yes, sir.
I told you to wrap up
before the visitors come in.
What are you doing here?
Mr. Hwang.
Mr. Hwang.
What a beauty. Right?
It's one of the reasons to stay here
despite the low salary.
Should I get jjajangmyeon or jjamppong?
Pardon?
I'm talking about my lunch.
What about you? Did you decide?
Then you weren't admiring the work?
Deciding on what to eat for lunch
is so hard.
It's life's biggest question.
In a way, you have a successful life
seeing how lunch is your biggest concern.
Ms. Na. The director hasn't come
to work yet, right?
I don't think so.
Who threw this out here?
Hello. This is Kim Nak-cheon speaking.
What? What did you say?
Can you take responsibility
for what you said?
-Mr. Kim.
-Hello.
You came to work early today
Wait. Did you spend the night here?
Well, I had to take care of something.
I said you didn't have to do that.
Thank you.
It'll cost you your health if you keep
this up. You're getting old too.
-Did you eat?
-What?
Well, of course.
That's a lie. Please go and eat.
You need food in your stomach
to take your medicine.
Even Dr. Han asked me
to keep an eye on you.
He said stress, overworking,
and skipping your medication
are the worst things for your heart.
You seem to nag me
way more than my own daughter.
By the way,
what brings you here this morning?
What's that blueprint?
Right. It's about the artist, Na-ru.
The artist insisted on
hanging the artwork from the ceiling.
The total weight
would come out to about 100kg.
I'm not sure if our ceiling
can endure that much weight.
Come in.
Sir
The artwork we received
from New York seems a bit off.
I think someone must have touched it.
What are you talking about?
I checked everything
before I left yesterday.
That. I went down to check
on something yesterday.
I had a small accident there.
But the artwork is fine.
We just need to fix the frame.
What were you trying to check?
How could that happen?
Gosh, now that I'm getting older,
my legs just went weak all of a sudden.
I'll go and get that fixed.
Can you do that for me?
As for this,
we should ask the Safety
and Facilities Department
at the district office.
And let's come up with a plan
with Mr. Hwang.
Will do.
Thank you.
Yes. I just got off the plane.
I just slept a bit.
Oh, really?
This place really is far.
Yes
I'm sorry.
Don't touch it!
Is this the gimmick you use to steal?
-What
-Leave it!
What a temper.
It was nothing.
Did you buy a pair of dress shoes?
Don't worry.
I brought an extra pair
to wear at the hotel.
But the party
It's nothing too fancy
or extravagant, right?
It'll be like a welcoming party
so there's nothing to sweat over.
But you know that
you need to build some rapport
to make the deal go smoothly.
Rapport?
You know that's my jam.
By the way, where is she?
Okay. I found her.
See you tomorrow.
Are you a crow or what?
-Mr. Jin?
-Where's the car?
Over there
My name is Kim Da-li.
I'll be assisting you since Ms. Koch
had a last-minute emergency.
Da-li, as in Salvador Dali.
You know the candy that Dali designed?
He would stop crying
whenever he was presented with a candy.
-So his father
-What time is the party again?
It's an hour and a half ride,
so you have more than enough time.
Did you find the flight enjoyable?
Do you really want to know?
Excuse me?
First-class seats are just expensive.
They're not that different
from economy-class seats.
It was Da-li, right?
Even if you succeed in the future,
don't buy first-class tickets.
You can buy some gamjatang
with that money instead.
That's more profitable.
I'm sorry?
How many bowls of gamjatang
can you buy with that money?
First-class seats
are around 20 million won.
Economy-class ones are one million won.
Gamjatang for two is 30,000 won.
So 3 times 6 equals 18
That would be 633 bowls, rounded up.
What?
If converted to single portions,
that would be 1,266 bowls.
I apologize. I couldn't help
but do the math
No, not at all. That's the right attitude.
You need to get into the habit
of doing immediate calculations
so you don't get scammed in the slightest.
If you aren't paying attention,
there's a cockamamie number of people
who'll stab you in the back.
"Cockamamie"?
Of course.
I heard the art association
worked really hard for your visit.
So everyone has high expectations.
Da-li, you're more innocent than you look.
Do you think that expectation is about me?
It's about the money.
I mean, 20 billion won is a lot.
Even if they all pretend
as if they're more sophisticated,
it all comes down to money.
This thing. Money.
That's how the world works.
This is the party venue
I heard it was at a farm.
It's a modern interpretation of a farm
built in the 1700s.
Isn't it beautiful?
Well, it must have cost a bit.
Are people in this game
usually this into luxury and vanity?
Excuse me?
This is more of a "let me show you
how much money I have" party
than a welcoming party.
And why are there so many paintings?
Even though it's sad to admit,
money and art are directly related.
"Art." That's high praise.
But there's a new Modigliani here today.
What?
A cannoli?
"Jin-san"? What is she saying?
She's saying it's great to meet you.
He is the chairman of the association.
He says it's an honor to meet you.
This is Ms. Van der Sar.
She wants to know if you're free tomorrow.
She says welcome.
She wants your opinion on the collection.
The collection? My opinion?
All of a sudden?
Just share a few words
on a painting of your choice.
But you know that
you need to build some rapport
to make the deal go smoothly.
I can never get used to this part.
All of these pieces are huge,
have pretty colors, and are beautiful.
Among the artworks
Among them
Among the artworks,
the one that captured my heart is
That painting of a pig.
Now
White hair, a long body,
and droopy ears.
They look obviously like Landrace pigs.
But as you can see,
their backs and thighs are
a little thicker than most Landrace pigs.
I believe these are Dutch Landrace pigs.
There's something we must not miss.
This pig.
It looks very lethargic.
Other pigs are feeding on food,
but it's the only lethargic one.
On top of that, look.
There are dirty feces
smeared in thick and dark colors
all over its anus.
In other words
Poop.
This is porcine proliferative enteritis.
If its feces look like this,
it means it'll die soon.
Before it infects other pigs,
it must be quarantined immediately
to help you to suffer
from less financial damage.
That's all.
Here
Take this.
Goodness, I'm sorry.
You should've made me do it.
It's okay. It's for me anyway.
It looked like they served good liquor.
I wanted to chug some down,
then get some more.
I have to drive.
Right, but alcohol
is the most expensive thing here.
Is this painting that nice?
I'm not so sure.
How much does this cost?
If this is a genuine piece,
at least 120 million.
That makes no sense.
This can't possibly cost 120 million won.
No, not won. Euros.
It's 120 million euros.
Wait, if this is 120 million euros,
that means
About 160 billion won.
About 160 billion won?
Oh, my.
Goodness, Mr. Jin. My gosh, Mr. Jin.
My goodness!
-Are you all right, Mr. Jin?
-I'm fine.
That 160 billion won
What are you guys doing? Tell me.
Let me go. What do you think you're doing?
What?
Hey
Do you not know who I am?
How dare you mistreat me like this
for ruining a single painting?
There's even a lady here.
You
What is this?
Gosh
The Majang-dong Fighter
is not as hot-tempered anymore.
Back in the day, I would've
ripped out your spines and just
Da-li
Da-li, what will happen to us now?
Don't tell me I have to compensate her.
It's just a small hole.
If you think about it,
it's her fault for displaying
such an expensive painting
in front of so many people
Da-li.
There's even a law that requires
both parties to take responsibility.
Wait
Why the long face?
This has nothing to do with you.
I'm the one they invited,
and I'm also the one
who ruined that painting.
You're just my attendant.
Nothing more, nothing less.
What happened today
has nothing to do with you.
I will take responsibility so
It's a fake.
What?
The painting you ruined is a fake.
Then
Mamma mia! Alrighty! Awesome!
You should've told me sooner.
I was worried sick, you know?
Hold on.
Why do you look so down?
What's the matter?
This has nothing to do with you,
but we've lost a great patron.
I was going to tell her in private
after the party was over,
but things blew up.
Madam Bronckhorst won't sit still
after the humiliation
she's received today.
Patron?
Do you get your scholarship
from the Pork Association?
"The Pork Association"?
Why would they be so petty
and take back a scholarship?
Don't worry.
After all, you saved my life today.
Dondon F&B will give you
scholarships from now on.
We provide social services too.
Hold on. "Dondon F&B"?
What is that?
It's a part of our company,
Dondon Gamjatang.
-I'm sure you heard of it.
-Didn't you say you were Mr. Jin?
Yes. I'm Jin Mu-hak.
I thought they had invited you.
Yes. The Dutch Pork Association.
Does that mean
you're not Mr. Jin Hitonari?
No, I'm Jin Mu-hak.
Oh, no!
What should I do?
-The number you have dialed cannot
-Why isn't he picking up?
Why did you take me to that party
without checking who I was first?
Had you checked my identity beforehand,
I wouldn't have ruined that painting!
You're the one who rushed us to the party.
Do you take just anyone to such parties
without checking who they are first?
You said you were Mr. Jin.
Yes, because I'm Jin Mu-hak!
I should've suspected you when you
started mentioning pig poop and enteritis.
You kept talking about money.
Look who's talking.
You're the one who said that fake painting
costs such an astronomical number.
Do you even know
how many bowls of gamjatang that is?
It's a piece of artwork,
not just any painting.
How could you compare
its cost to gamjatang?
-What a load of garbage.
-Pardon?
Artwork, my foot.
You said it was a fake. A fake!
Hold on.
I could've paid a hefty compensation
to that fraud.
You better pray that I still get
my 20-billion-won contract.
Or else, you're dead meat.
Don't drive so recklessly.
You fool. You idiot. You moron.
You fool. You idiot. You moron!
You fool. You idiot. You moron
You seem to have a limited number of words
to call yourself. Just get up.
His phone is off.
The workers have gone home.
We can't report him missing
since he's not a child.
There's nothing we can do.
What if something happens to him?
I seriously doubt that. He's a grown man.
He may have gone to his hotel
or a restaurant to have some food. Okay?
He'll call. Didn't you say
he was filthy rich?
Come on. Turn that frown upside down.
He's not afraid to spend
hundreds of millions on a painting,
so I'm sure he will let go
of this small mistake.
If not,
he's not a true lover of art.
Okay?
Okay?
What will you do now, Mr. Jin?
Mr. Jin.
This card isn't valid.
What?
This card isn't working.
Unbelievable
Don't be ridiculous. This is a black card.
Gosh
It's a black
Do you have another card?
My gosh. Unbelievable
Here you go.
That was a black card. Gosh.
How could you freeze my cards
when I'm on a business trip?
I have no cash, and the business team
will arrive tomorrow.
So
ignore the chairman's orders
and fix this. If not, I'll
Mr. Kim. Mr
You scumbag.
Is there a problem?
What?
No. Not at all.
I sorted out everything.
So you can go home now.
Thank you for today.
Are you sure you'll be okay?
Of course. You should go. Please.
You should go in first.
All right then. If you insist.
Thanks for everything.
Go home.
Thank you.
You startled me!
I wonder
how long it'd take if I were to walk
to the airport from here.
I've been meaning to
have a meeting with Mr. Jin
to talk about the cafe.
I'm sorry to have inconvenienced you.
Forget about the cafe.
That's not the problem right now.
I need you
to give back the investment money.
Pardon?
My father found out about the money.
He's been throwing a fit.
It's a disaster.
Why did you send us the chamber pot?
That was so stupid.
What do you mean?
Excuse me for a moment.
How dare you come here?
No. Please, Uncle.
No. I can't bury the truth.
If something is rotting,
it must be carved out.
If there's been a mistake,
I must correct it.
I said I was fine.
I can't possibly impose
on a poor international student
Which, I guess you're not.
What is this place?
Ms. Prinsen is on vacation.
So the house is a mess.
I see. This isn't your house.
I almost thought otherwise.
You can sleep on the sofa.
And the bathroom is that way.
We have a lot of towels,
so you can feel free to use them.
Do you need anything else?
I'm good.
But don't bring a stranger home next time.
You know nothing about me.
For all you know, I could be dangerous.
And the house owner isn't even here.
Don't you know how dangerous the world is?
You can't speak any English,
you have no money,
and your credit cards don't work.
How can I just leave you there?
When someone offers you help,
a thank-you would suffice.
Who would say such nonsense?
What a naive thing to say.
My father.
Your father is a very generous man.
-Goodnight.
-Wait.
Since you're helping me,
can you help me out one more time?
Aren't you hungry?
I had some food at the party earlier.
But you didn't eat anything all day today.
Oh, right.
What on earth?
Is the owner of this house a hotel chef?
Do you have any food allergies?
Or any food that you don't like?
No
Let me see
You won't get kicked out for this, right?
Da-li, where's the salt?
You're not answering your phone,
so I'm very concerned.
Please call me back
once you check this message. Thank you.
Gosh. Where is it?
-Da-li.
-Julian.
I'm sorry to call you so late at night.
Didn't you tell me you worked on a deal
with Hitonari last year?
Do you know any places he might stay
in Amsterdam?
There it is. Okay.
To Nakamura Sumire.
This is Kim Da-li from St. Miller.
I was supposed to pick up Jin Hitonari
at Schiphol Airport this afternoon.
But there must have been
a slight misunderstanding
as I was unable to pick him up.
I cannot reach him now.
And he didn't come to the hotel
he was supposed to stay.
If you get a call from
You can work after we eat.
We study and work,
so we can feed ourselves.
I'm sorry.
Having three meals a day
is the only equal thing
between those with money and success
and those without those things.
We ought to eat every single meal
as if our lives depend on it.
Dig in.
This is so good.
How can it taste this good?
Well,
I was able to get market merchants
to spend their gambling money
on my food at the age of 11.
So this is nothing.
If we were at my house,
I would've cooked up a feast.
No. This is amazing.
Are you studying
while working at the gallery?
I guess you can say that.
That's great. You get to look at paintings
and make money too.
Do you like art?
Art?
Sure
Who doesn't?
I have a painting in my living room too.
It's nice and big.
And I admire it every day.
Morning and night.
What kind of painting is it?
I need more than food in order to live.
I need the taste of money too.
Gosh. Beautiful.
This is art. Art isn't such a big deal.
My gosh. It's been hours.
You're making it impossible for me
to admire my art!
You're so unsophisticated.
I don't think you know this painting.
It's an Asian painting.
I majored in Asian Art History
when I was an undergraduate.
If you tell me the artist
Is talking about the artist
and its price that important?
I believe as long as the painting
satisfies the people looking at it,
it's a great painting.
I see. Being able to
set your own standard in art
without getting affected by trends
and the market is no easy feat.
You must love that painting.
Very much so.
Then why don't you stop by the gallery
if you have time after your meeting?
It's a small gallery.
But we have numerous works
from artists that Korean people like
such as Gogh, Seurat,
Cezanne, and Gauguin.
Korean people?
Oh, right.
Impressionist painters
are beloved worldwide,
not just Korean people.
Right
Of course,
it won't be as good as your food,
but the food in our cafeteria
is pretty good.
If you have time, please stop by.
I'll show you around.
A cafeteria in a gallery?
That's where people go on dates.
From the first time I saw you,
I always thought you were a fool
I mean, you seem like an interesting man.
I do?
Your shoes, the way you count everything
by bowls of gamjatang,
and back at the party too.
Anyway, you're the most
interesting person I've met.
Eat up.
-Isn't it good?
-It is.
Let's get cleaned up.
That's it. What a day.
What happened?
What's going on?
Come on.
Da-li?
Da-li, what's going on?
What is it? Where are you?
Da-li?
Da-li?
Da-li?
Da-li?
Da-li
That watch is very important to me.
I'll make sure I come, so wait for me.
You dared to betray Jin Mu-hak?
I'm looking to liquidate my assets
except for the art museum.
I'll make sure I find you!
Are you home? Are you?
Are you looking for that watch
or that woman?
I can't do this. If I just sit around,
I'll get betrayed over and over again.
Give me my money!
Mr. Jin?
