A VIKI original series
Dramaworld
Tell me the truth.
Do we really have to go that far?
I need to hear you say it.
You already know what I'm going to say.
So I said to say it.
- Say it quickly! - Okay.
In addition to the laws of Dramaworld there are also some rules to facilitation.
Rule #1.
"Know your character."
- You want it?- Gimme, gimme, gimme!
- You sure?- Please!
Yeah, that's... That's yours.
This is Seo Yeon.
I love her.
Hi, I'm Claire. I'm Seth's little sister.
It's really nice to meet you.
Nice to meet you, too.
Rule #2.
"Do not affect events directly!"
Set objects in motion, and then stand back.
Rule #3.
"Do not watch the drama."
Do not watch the drama.
In other words, this is not... This is not a TV show for them.
How would you like it if some creeper started staring at your intimate moments? It's... Yeah.
Rule # 4. A-A-And this is the most important of them all...
"These characters cannot know they're in a drama."
If there are any secrets that you know that they don't, you cannot tell them.
These are the four basic rules to facilitation.
"In the event of a rule broken by force majeure, see Appendix 2."
No, but you won't need to see Appendix 2, will you, Claire?
No, no.
Uh, but... Just in case?
No matter what, you do not want to become a part of the storyline.
- Trust me.- Okay, okay!
So I said say it. Say it quickly!
Let me just top you guys off...
Oh my god, it's you...!
And... you! Oh my god, I love you guys!
I'm very sorry.
Of course he doesn't love her! He loves her sister!
You just broke every single rule in less than ten seconds!
- Sorry, I'm just a little star struck. I mean, wasn't that...?- Yes, that was.
Which is not a good sign. This isn't their drama, they shouldn't be here!
Crossovers are a sign that things are not going well in Dramaworld,
which is why you're here... to help set things straight.
Right.
- So...- Right.
Episode 3
What are you looking for?
Salt.
That's in the storage room.
Thanks.
I'm new, so I'm just trying to learn the ropes.
Let me know if you need help and I'll catch you up on everything.
Hang on a sec.
There you go.
I know how it feels to be the new girl.
I can see why he likes you so much.
Who does?
Chef.
He's not interested in me. He has his eyes on her.
She's sexy and charming.
And they've known each other for a long time.
Whereas I'm just...
I know this moment!
What did you say?
Nothing, nothing. Just...
Like...
You're really beautiful.
Let him see that.
One moment, please.
Mrs. Park, what a nice surprise!
Hello, dear.
- Right this way.- All right.
Service!
Yes, Chef!
- Do you know where table ten is?- Yes, Chef.
Good. Position 1, position 2.
You look different.
I let my hair down.
Well, put it back up. This is a kitchen.
Sorry, Chef.
- Got those mushrooms?- I'm sorry, I forgot.
- Grab some caviar while you're at it.- Yes, Chef.
I always set this table aside for you.
Do you?
Chef, your mother just arrived.
Coming here without any warning!
- Start her off with a salad and the pork belly.- Yes, Chef.
Can you keep her company for me?
Table eight, Chef.
Hey!
So? Did he notice the new you?
I got an earful for being unprofessional.
You should...
What if you introduced yourself to his mother, right?
Like, what if you took her the food yourself and were like, "Hi, Mrs. Park. Nice to meet you"?
Impress her.
I couldn't.
You can.
Mrs. Park, I actually had a few ideas for Park Frozen Gourmet...
There's decrease in population while one-person households are on the rise...
I'm sorry, Mrs. Park. Our sous-chef is still learning the ropes...
Service!
Yes, Chef!
What do you think you're doing?
You told me to keep your mother company so--
I wasn't asking you.
You're the sous-chef. Stay in your station!
We will make another pork belly and veal for her entree.
Yes, Chef.
Claire, you're pushing too hard.
You have to be subtle, invisible.
- You don't want to risk getting your own storyline.- I'm trying.
Nice of you to show your face!
I came by to see how well your little restaurant is doing.
I'm glad you came.
You don't seem to be very happy to see your mom.
Don't you think Joon looks much better in a suit?
You look shabby in that uniform.
Joon always looks good no matter what he's wearing.
But you do have a point.
A nice suit and tie would look much more dashing.
What's happening?
Flashback.
Oh no, he's so troubled!
I bet it's about his dad's murder.
No, suicide.
I have to get back.
I know it isn't explicitly stated in the rules, but
you can't fall in love with the lead. You know that, right?
What?!
- Let's fire tables four and seven!- Yes, Chef!
Seo Yeon, how's the entree for my mother?
Sorry, Chef, but there's no ticket.
I told you verbally!
Fire it now!
Do you have anything else I can serve her?
I have three portions of rotelle that I can turn into four.
That's enough.
I got this. Just clean that up.
Seth, they've never had an off night like this before.
What do I do?
I don't know. But whatever you're doing right now is not helping.
Chef!
Service!
Sous-chef!
Manager!
Would you please find my sous-chef?
- What is this?- The door!
Were you taking a break here?
No, I was locked out...
Locked out?
Service! Tables two, six and seven!
- Chef, fire!- What table?
- F-Fire!- Every table's been fired!
No, no, no, fire! Fire! No, no, no, no, no!
- Fire, fire!- Claire, no!
I'm going nuts!
Your father would've been so pleased to see this sight!
Mother-
I want you to seriously think about the life you've chosen for yourself here,
because it seems to me like a waste of your time and my money!
Sorry, the door locked behind me...
Oh boy.
Close the restaurant.
I'm sorry, I just... I saw the fire and I wanted to help...
If there's a fire in the pan, just cover it. That's all you need to do.
I'm so sorry. I got scared and--
It's my fault, Chef.
I should have turned the burner off. I will take the financial responsibility.
It's not about the money.
It's about the lack of professionalism.
How can I run a restaurant when I can't trust my own sous-chef?
I'm sorry?
I can't let this stand.
Whatever this is...
I can't have it in my kitchen.
I'm trying to run a business here.
Are you...
Are you firing me?
Yes.
I think that's for the best.
