How to Grill Our Love (2024) s01e04 Episode Script
Episode 4
Please, have mercy on me.
We're changing the design now?
We even have to change the equipment configuration.
Well, let's try our best to redesign it.
How can you be so positive?
It's only Monday!
Mifune-kun
Monday marks the beginning of
the countdown to the weekend.
Yeah, yeah.
Thinking like that, you could be happy all year round.
But please, try not to be so cheerful at work.
I know your beloved Chihiro-san, comes every weekend.
You're wrong.
Next weekend
I'm the one going to see her.
Oh, you guys are staying in Tokyo this week?
She has been very busy lately.
You blush every time you mention your wife.
Isn't it time for you to change that.
It's annoying to have a meeting
shortly after starting work on Monday.
Chihiro, can you keep an eye on the project progress?
Understood.
Please.
- Kanae-san?
- Yes?
Can you finish the color correction this morning?
Don't worry, I'll make it.
Mana-san, could you please compile the proposal materials?
Okay.
Thanks.
Looks like this week will be busy too.
You just got home now?
You're still working this late?
Have you been working overtime all week?
Because I just started a new project.
Have you been eating properly?
Kenta-san
Could you please cook dinner for me?
Of course!
But I'll be there a bit late.
Just relax and get some rest.
Then, I'll talk to you later.
Okay.
[A sizzling new life for newlyweds]
[Zero days dating, let's get married first and then fall in love]
I'm sorry I couldn't pick you up.
Chihiro-san, are you alright?
That's really tough, having to work even on weekends.
It's rare for you to come over
I'm sorry.
This is not good.
She struggles to even talk.
Don't worry about it.
Is there anything specific you want to eat?
Something delicious.
Understood.
Delicious food it is.
Prepare 150 grams of ground pork.
Mix in finely chopped cabbage and perilla leaves.
Soy sauce, potato starch,
chicken bouillon powder, ginger paste.
Sprinkle some pepper salt.
Mix thoroughly until it becomes sticky.
No good, I have absolutely no inspiration.
Is your work done?
Not yet.
But I smell something delicious.
I just made chicken egg soup.
I want to take a short break for a bit, can I help?
I was just about to start wrapping them.
It feels nice to cook together as husband and wife.
Then
Let's begin.
How many should I wrap?
About this much, I think.
Got it.
Right.
That's about right.
Okay.
Then pinch the edges like this.
You're doing a great job!
Really?
It looks like something you'd buy from a store.
Thank you.
Just keep wrapping them like this.
Okay.
This is so much fun!
I love the process of making food.
And the end result tastes delicious.
That's what I like best about it.
However, I'm completely self-taught.
There are still so many things I don't understand.
Like, for example, dumpling wrappers
Homemade ones actually taste better.
You can make this at home?
Yes, you can.
I know to mix salt with all-purpose
flour and high-protein flour
and then carefully knead
the dough after adding hot water.
But I don't quite understand what
"kneading until it's as hard as an earlobe" means.
An earlobe
After the bottom gets slightly browned
add water, cover the pot and steam-fry it.
That's amazing!
The perilla dumplings are done!
Let's eat!
It's so refreshing, it goes well with yuzu vinegar.
Your speaking skills are back!
It's nothing.
This time, I didn't add garlic
or chinese chives to the filling.
These perilla dumplings, I could eat a ton of them.
I worked hard this week just to see this face.
You should eat yours while it's still hot.
Then I'll start eating too.
The dumplings you made are super delicious!
This egg soup tastes so gentle.
My whole body feels warm.
You really are exhausted every day.
Because I'm so busy, I don't have time
So this week, I've been surviving on
convenience store bento boxes and instant noodles.
I think it's okay to do that occasionally.
I also like instant noodles.
It's more like sometimes I
suddenly get a craving for them.
But your cooking is still the best.
Ah, but please don't eat too much.
Dessert is the king of melons.
Shizuoka-grown Crown Melon.
Eating it this way is so luxurious!
This is so delicious
It's really delicious.
Um, Kenta-san
Yes?
Could it be
This atmosphere is
Go ahead.
Ears.
Huh?
Ears?
Because you just said you didn't
know the firmness of earlobes
Then,
I won't be polite
What do I do?
I have absolutely no idea what to do next.
Thank you.
Kenta-san,
This house doesn't have a bed set prepared for guests.
It's okay,
I can sleep on the couch.
No, that's not what I mean
There's only one bed
Huh?
Right, what about your work
You're right.
Excuse me, I have to get back to work now.
What should I do?
I can't sleep at all.
Could that have been?
No, I might be overthinking things
Did she want to sleep together?
Could she still be awake and waiting for me?
She rolled up the blanket
Good night.
Sorry, I slept in so late.
Chihiro-san, did you sleep well last night?
Very well. I haven't slept this soundly in ages.
What are we grilling today?
We're going to wrap things up first before grilling them.
Cut the zucchini straight and into four equal parts.
Peel off about one-third of the
asparagus from the root end first.
Cut the Japanese ginger straight down the middle.
Wrap the pork belly slices seasoned with pepper and salt.
Flip them occasionally to grill
both sides until golden brown.
Sorry for the wait!
Let's dig in
So delicious!
No need for any sauce.
The original flavor of the ingredients is already great.
The vegetables are super delicious
after absorbing the fat from the meat.
The Japanese ginger wrapped in meat looks so cute.
Right?
This was inspired by you, sleeping wrapped in a blanket yesterday.
How did you know?
Uh, well
I was a little curious, how things were going.
Sorry.
It's okay.
Then
Next time, let's
do it together
The rice is cooked!
The sound is so loud!
The rice cooker has been my only
conversation partner for a long time.
Let's eat it with the freshly cooked rice.
Yes, you worked hard.
Yes
I understand.
Kenta-san, I'm sorry.
There was a bit of a situation at work.
I have to go to the company right away.
Please go and get ready.
Don't worry about me.
I'm sorry.
You really helped me out.
The client accepted our explanation.
I'm also happy that the client
understands my design concept.
I'm going to have a drink with someone later.
If you're free, want to come along?
I can't today.
I see.
Hello.
Sorry for bothering you last week.
The person is Toda-san?
Later, I found out we live pretty close to each other.
We even go to the same regular store.
What a coincidence!
Let's have a drink together next time, with Kenta too.
Okay, let's make plans for next time.
I'll be going now.
Thanks for your hard work.
Chihiro and Kenta have a strange relationship.
They're still using honorifics with each other.
Their cost-performance ratio is terrible.
They have to pay rent and utilities separately.
It costs money just to see each other.
Young people these days even consider
cost-performance when getting married?
Fushimi-san is also a young person, right?
What are you talking about?
I'm a senior in life compared to you.
By the way, even though I'm not
as good as Kenta, I can cook too.
That must make you very popular.
It's okay.
But I think
As long as the person I like likes me, that's enough.
Could you refill my glass, please?
Sure.
Kenta-san.
After all, it's pretty late now.
[You worked hard today too.]
Let's eat.
It's delicious.
It's salmon.
I've remembered it, your favourite filling.
But
I'm actually a little envious of them.
They both seem to be enjoying
that sparkly time of falling in love.
Sparkly time?
Yeah.
Being happy over little things.
Feeling lonely because they can't see each other.
I definitely wouldn't be able to
experience such pure love.
It really is a little enviable.
I miss you.
I miss you so much.
Kenta-san.
We're changing the design now?
