Inspired, Han Kook determines to pursue this dream. However, President Han soon makes a shocking discovery: the head cook uses caramel and chemical seasoning in the Chinese soybean sauce. Deeply dismayed and falling ill, Han decides to close his beloved restaurant, leaving his daughter Mi Rae in dejection.
