Short filmTranscript
00:00Hey! You're hired to pretend to be my boyfriend to deal with my mom.
00:04I've been waiting for half an hour. Where are you?
00:07Duck in traffic.
00:08Alright then. Remember, I wear the blue boutonniere on my collar. Get here quick.
00:20We'll finalize the participant list later. Got it.
00:26I'll be at the office in an hour.
00:30Miss?
00:32Why are you so late?
00:34Just remember, the more you say, the more mistakes you might make.
00:38Just do everything according to my lead in a bit.
00:44Mom?
00:46Is this the daughter-in-law I haven't met yet?
00:48Come in. Please hurry inside.
00:52Come on, please sit down.
00:54Mom?
00:55Could you stop acting?
00:57Why not just put on a show for her?
01:00Hey, hey!
01:02Are you even listening to me?
01:03You're really not professional at all.
01:06Mm-hmm.
01:08Let's go.
01:10Mom, this is Sean I told you about.
01:12Sean, this is my mom.
01:15Hello, ma'am.
01:16Sorry to keep you waiting.
01:18No problem.
01:20Please have a seat.
01:22Shit.
01:26John, heard from Stella that you work in IT.
01:29Must keep you pretty busy, right?
01:35It's worth it.
01:37It's all for me and Stella's future.
01:40You're definitely a pro.
01:42You young people are so career-driven.
01:44That's a good thing.
01:46So, do you two have any plans for the future?
01:49When are you getting married?
01:50When do you plan on having kids?
01:53Mom, it's way too early to talk about that.
01:55We-
01:56Ma'am.
01:57I support every decision Stella makes.
02:00Whether she wants to focus on her career,
02:02or start a family,
02:05I'll support her no matter what.
02:08That's wonderful.
02:10Yeah, Mom, he's right.
02:13We know what we're doing.
02:14You really don't have to worry so much.
02:17All right.
02:18Guess that'll settle things then.
02:24Hello?
02:25Okay, okay.
02:27I'm on my way.
02:29Look, I actually have another meeting.
02:32So, Sean, you two keep chatting.
02:34And when you get a chance,
02:36have Stella over for dinner at home.
02:38All right.
02:49Finally, she's gone.
02:56Miss Evans.
02:58I'm almost there.
02:59Should make it in time, right?
03:00What?
03:01Almost there?
03:02Wait.
03:03This ugly guy is actually the actor I hired?
03:06Are you kidding me?
03:08Then who's this standing right next to me?
03:14You.
03:18Hello, Miss Evans.
03:19My name is Gavin Carter.
03:24Hi.
03:29Miss Evans.
03:30I was wondering if you'd be interested in discussing a partnership.
03:35Partnership?
03:36It's a win-win for both of us.
03:38I'll keep pretending to be your boyfriend.
03:40Help you fool your mom.
03:42In return, you pretend to be my girlfriend.
03:44And help me deal with my family.
03:47Mr. Carter.
03:49Are you being serious?
03:51We just met.
03:52$200,000.
03:53What?
03:54Monthly salary.
03:56$200,000.
03:57All you need to do is show up for family gatherings and help me handle my relatives.
04:01The rest of the time, you're completely free.
04:04$200,000 a month?
04:06What kind of drama did I just walk into?
04:09If you think $200,000 isn't enough, I can offer more.
04:13Hey!
04:14No, no.
04:15There's no need to add more.
04:17All right.
04:18See you then.
04:18I have another meeting, so I'll head out.
04:23For tonight's VIP guests, make sure every dish is perfect.
04:27No mistakes.
04:28Understood?
04:29Got it.
04:29I'm plating right now.
04:31Okay.
04:31Good.
04:40What did I just say?
04:42You just messed things up for me.
04:44Do you have any idea how long it takes to simmer this sauce?
04:47I'm sorry, manager.
04:48I didn't do it on purpose.
04:49I made the sauce.
04:50I know we're short on time, but I can try to make a simplified version of the sauce.
04:54The taste might not be exactly the same, but it'll be at least 80% there.
05:00All right.
05:01Let's try it your way.
05:03If you screw this up, both of you are out of here.
05:10Mr. Carter?
05:15Mr. Carter, please enjoy your meal.
05:23The sauce for this dish isn't quite the same as before.
05:28Mr. Carter, you really have an amazing palate.
05:30You can notice even the slightest differences.
05:33Here's what happened.
05:35The chef made a new sauce blend.
05:37A new sauce?
05:39Which chef made it?
05:40It was...
05:42Stella Evans from the kitchen.
05:44Stella Evans?
05:45Bring her over here.
05:46Stella, come out here right now.
05:48Manager, what's going on?
05:50You're seriously asking me what's going on?
05:52Mr. Carter took one bite, and he immediately noticed something was off.
05:55He specifically asked to see you.
05:58Hey, do you realize our Carter Hotel is a subsidiary of the Carter Group?
06:01Are you trying to drag the entire kitchen staff down with you?
06:05Normally, the sauce I put together is at least 80% close.
06:08Most people can't tell the difference.
06:10Who could taste the difference from just one bite?
06:13Get over there and apologize.
06:14If the customer doesn't forgive you, you pack your things and leave immediately.
06:18Do you hear me?
06:19Okay, I'll go right away.
06:27Mr. Carter, this is the chef responsible for this dish.
06:32Why is he here?
06:33Did you make the sauce for this dish?
06:35Yes.
06:37The sauce got spilled.
06:38Time was tight, so I made some adjustments.
06:40Now we're screwed.
06:42Stella, this time, you'll just have to fend for yourself.
06:44I can't help you with this.
06:46You did a great job.
06:47In an emergency, being able to respond like that,
06:50if it weren't for me today,
06:52you would have actually managed to fool everyone who's used to this dish.
06:56Yeah, this young chef is truly talented.
06:59Pinnacle Holdings chef competition happens every three years.
07:03I'm inviting you to represent Carter Hotel in the contest.
07:06What?
07:07But for every chef competition,
07:10Carter Hotel always has the most senior chef compete.
07:14Plus, Carter Hotel's main branch has won the championship for six years running,
07:17bringing in a new young chef at the last minute.
07:20What if?
07:21He looks like a Carter executive,
07:23so he can decide who enters the competition.
07:26But with my experience,
07:27I don't qualify for the chef competition at all.
07:30Is he doing this just because of the contract relationship
07:32and wants to pull some strings for me?
07:34How will you know if you don't try?
07:36Do you not trust my judgment?
07:38Or do you not trust yourself?
07:39I...
07:40Mr. Carter, Stella is just a newcomer.
07:43Maybe.
07:44No need.
07:45Every year, it's always the same old faces.
07:48There's never any fresh ideas.
07:50What do you think?
07:51Uh, yes?
07:53Have you given it some thought?
07:55He's right.
07:56This is a rare opportunity.
07:58What's the harm in giving it a shot?
08:00Okay, I'll do it.
08:02All right, you can go now.
08:04I still need to discuss some competition details with Chef Evans.
08:08Yes, sir.
08:12Miss Evans,
08:13you keep refusing to move into Carter Estate.
08:16Why is that?
08:17I'm pretty comfortable where I am.
08:19There's no real reason to move.
08:21Have you forgotten what I asked of you?
08:23If you don't move in,
08:24how are we supposed to keep my mom from finding out?
08:28But...
08:28The kitchen in the villa is huge.
08:30It's fully equipped.
08:31All the ingredients are imported fresh.
08:33You can really show off your cooking skills there.
08:35And also,
08:36if you ever want to work with chefs from other cuisines,
08:38you're free to learn from them anytime.
08:41But if I move in,
08:43won't it be inconvenient for you?
08:45Not at all.
08:47All right, then.
08:48I'll have someone help you move.
08:49See you later.
08:50Mm-hmm.
08:51Mom, why are you calling me?
08:53Stella,
08:54where are you right now?
08:55Let me see Sean.
08:57Sean?
08:57He's still working overtime.
09:00Overtime again?
09:01You're not lying to your mom, are you?
09:04Oh, no.
09:06You're back?
09:08Sean's back, isn't he?
09:12My mom.
09:15Ma'am,
09:16I just got off work.
09:18All right, all right.
09:19Seeing you two get along so well makes me feel at ease.
09:22All right.
09:23I won't bother you guys anymore.
09:25You and Stella should get some rest early.
09:27All right.
09:32Good thing you came back just in time to help out.
09:36I'll send you the materials for the chef competition in a couple days.
09:39Prepare well for it.
09:41By the way,
09:42are you free tomorrow night?
09:43My mom said she'd like to meet you.
09:47Tomorrow?
09:47That soon?
09:49I just helped you handle your mom.
09:51Are you planning to burn the bridge now?
09:53Oh, no.
09:55I was just thinking,
09:56what does your mom like?
09:58No need for that.
09:59My mom's appetite hasn't been great lately.
10:01Instead of stressing over gifts,
10:03just make her some simple home-cooked dishes.
10:05All right.
10:08Not much appetite.
10:12Know what I should make for your mom.
10:21Does it look nice?
10:25Yeah, it looks nice.
10:28Good.
10:28Let's go then.
10:30Uh, let's go.
10:31Mm.
10:35Adam,
10:35I know you've been having trouble sleeping lately,
10:37and your stomach's been sensitive.
10:39So, I made you some calming tea especially for you.
10:45Oh, wow.
10:47Quinn, you're always so thoughtful.
10:48Not like my little troublemaker.
10:50Every time I ask him to do something,
10:52he always tries to dodge it or makes excuses.
10:54Gavin's the CEO of Carter Group.
10:56He's really busy most of the time.
10:58Oh, please.
10:59I know him all too well.
11:00You don't need to defend him.
11:02But actually,
11:03he started dating someone recently,
11:04so things might be looking up.
11:06Dating?
11:07Yes.
11:08Saw the two of them,
11:09holding hands.
11:10They looked so sweet together.
11:14Mom.
11:18This is...
11:20This must be Stella Evans, right?
11:23Really beautiful.
11:25Hello, madam.
11:26It's my first time visiting you.
11:28Sorry to bother you.
11:29Oh, it's fine.
11:29Come on.
11:31Don't just stand there.
11:32It's tiring.
11:35So, this is Miss Evans, right?
11:37You really does look graceful.
11:39No wonder Gavin sees something special in you.
11:41This is the daughter of...
11:42An old family friend.
11:44She just got back to the country recently.
11:48Stella made these snacks especially for you.
11:50She heard your appetite hasn't been great lately.
11:53So she made something light on purpose.
11:55Oh, Stella.
11:56You really went out of your way.
11:58You made snacks just for me.
12:00That's a hundred times more thoughtful than this lazy guy.
12:05But honestly...
12:06My appetite's just been flat lately.
12:08Nothing really tastes good to me anymore.
12:10Adam, your stomach is sensitive.
12:12So you should probably avoid sweet or greasy food.
12:16Um...
12:17And you're really missing out.
12:19Stella's cooking is so good.
12:21I have to beg her if I want to try any...
12:24Wow, it does smell really nice.
12:27Adam, it's nothing special.
12:29Just some homemade snacks.
12:35So, how is it?
12:39Um...
12:39If you really can't eat much...
12:41Then I guess I get to have them all.
12:45You little punk.
12:46How dare you steal what Stella made just for me.
12:49Today I have to taste my future daughter-in-law's cooking.
12:52This is actually pretty good.
12:54Adam is always picky.
12:56Did this brat really make something that impressed her?
12:58Stella is the chef at Carter Hotel.
13:01She's really talented.
13:02I've already recommended her to compete in this year's chef competition.
13:06Chef competition?
13:08Gavin, the chef competition always attracts top chefs.
13:11With Miss Evan's background, I'm afraid she's not quite qualified yet.
13:15Those old-timers from Carter have entered at least ten times already.
13:18Let's give the younger folks a chance.
13:20What's wrong?
13:22As long as you've decided.
13:24Whatever you decide, I'll stay out of it.
13:26Don't worry, madam.
13:28I'll give it my all.
13:30Miss Evans?
13:32It just so happens that the Morgan House is sponsoring the competition.
13:36I'm also serving as one of the judges.
13:38Since you're Gavin's girlfriend, that also makes you my friend.
13:42I'll make sure to look out for you during the event.
13:45Thank you, Miss Morgan.
13:46I appreciate your kindness.
13:47But a competition should be fair and open for everyone.
13:51If my skills aren't good enough,
13:53no amount of help will win me the prize.
13:56That's true.
13:58Madam, I'm going to step out to the restroom.
14:01All right, all right.
14:09Miss Evans, you really stole the show today.
14:12I don't get what you mean.
14:13That outfit must have cost you a pretty penny, huh?
14:17Too bad.
14:18No matter how hard a chicken tries,
14:20it's still not a phoenix.
14:23Miss Morgan,
14:24if you came here just to say that,
14:27then excuse me.
14:30You don't actually think Gavin likes you, do you?
14:33Let me tell you,
14:34he's just using you to deal with his mom.
14:37Once he gets what he needs,
14:39Gavin won't even bother to look your way.
14:41Miss Morgan,
14:42have you said enough?
14:44If you're done,
14:45then please step aside.
14:46You!
14:47You're seriously not angry?
14:49Why would I be?
14:51If you like Gavin,
14:52you can go after him.
14:55Are you trying to provoke me?
14:57Let me tell you,
14:59Gavin and I grew up together.
15:01I know everything about his habits and preferences.
15:05In the end,
15:06the only one who'll be by Gavin's side is me.
15:09I'd recommend you leave while you can.
15:12Otherwise, you'll definitely regret it.
15:15Maybe save your speech for Gavin.
15:17You!
15:20Stella,
15:21if you refuse to leave Gavin,
15:23I'll make sure you regret it.
15:30You!
15:30Tomorrow's competition.
15:31Make sure Stella doesn't even get to participate.
15:36Status is just right.
15:38Kept cold with an ice pack.
15:39The flavor shouldn't change.
15:44Only two hours left until the competition.

24:38understood um what's up today when i was in the warehouse doing inventory on the hotel supplies
24:45the main door got locked from the outside locked should i tell him i suspect it was quinn who did
24:52it
24:53but just like quinn said they've known each other for over 20 years their friendship is definitely way
24:58deeper than whatever i am as the fake girlfriend will he think i'm just targeting quinn on purpose
25:04yeah but i didn't get a good look at who it was it's quinn you how did you know besides
25:11her i can't
25:13think of anyone else who would go after you like this but we don't have any evidence right now i'll
25:18have
25:18someone keep an eye on her stella if anything strange happens in the next couple of days make
25:24sure you let me know right away okay oh miss evans how's the prep going just don't let something
25:33unexpected happen like it did in the preliminary round thanks for the concern miss morgan but the
25:38same tricks won't work again if you try them one more time just wait and see this competition
25:45isn't about talking big or pulling strings all contestants please take your places attention
25:56everyone the theme for this final round is back to basics i now declare the competition begins
26:07last time stella made it to the next round just stir frying cabbage she's really got skills i'm
26:14rooting for chef jones stella hey what's she doing what's going on here what is stella doing now
26:21can't figure it out at all
26:25instead of using a metal knife she's preparing the tofu with cotton twine that's actually pretty smart
26:34jeff jones is still the best yeah guys look chef jones picked pork ribs and carrots
26:40looks like this time stella is definitely getting eliminated everyone knows chef jones's soup is
26:46unbeatable let me show you what a master chef really is a handful of chopped scallions spread them
26:52evenly into the tofu soup once it boils turn the heat down low and let it simmer after 15 minutes
26:57open
26:58the lid and turn up the heat stir it evenly serve it up done all right time's up
27:05wow it smells amazing
27:09this tofu it looks so plain though yeah seriously i'm guessing stella might be in trouble
27:26this rustic pork rib soup brings it all back to basics the broth is clear and creamy the meat's firm
27:32but
27:33not tough sweet but not heavy no over-the-top ingredients really lets the flavor of the ribs
27:38shine one sip and you're hooked
27:47this tofu is not bad either it keeps the original flavor of the tofu the seasoning is absolutely perfect
27:53she even used pork cracklings to amp up the aroma this is surprisingly good
28:00delicious delicious how could this be she made this soup judges please start scoring
28:08first up our contestant stella evans
28:19contestant stella has received a score of 28 that's incredible how did she do it next judges please
28:28score chef jones
28:34chef jones has also received a high score of 28 this time it's actually rare tie
28:48can't believe it's a tie mr carter so tiebreaker yes
28:57given these special circumstances the organizers have decided on a tiebreaker to determine the final
29:02champion all contestants judges and audience members please take a short break the tiebreaker will begin
29:08in three hours tiebreaker this is the first time ever this competition has been running over 10 years
29:14and i've never seen a tie before yeah is stella really that talented it's just a piece of tofu
29:20how did it get such a high score gabin your cooking skills are above chef jones i had my doubts
29:28you don't need to say it i get it but having your approval that's enough your attitude deserves some praise

30:06flavor what we're testing is not just your cooking skills but also your understanding of cuisine you
30:11have two hours for the competition all right let's get started
30:17why does it smell like chemicals
30:26looks like only this one the knife that's used the most was tampered with the smell is faint but as
30:32soon as it touches food it's contaminated if i have to switch to a new knife last minute without my
30:37usual
30:38tool my handling of ingredients will definitely be affected what a devious trick stella let's see how
30:44you plan to win this time why did she stop stella coming up with some weird ideas does her food
30:51really
30:52taste that good you want me to lose you're not qualified yet so is stella going to handle this with
30:58her hands
30:59why not use a knife
31:06time's up would both chefs please present your dishes
31:13judges please start tasting
31:19it actually smells pretty good
31:28wow it smells amazing yeah it really does the porcini mushrooms are so tender the aroma is brought
31:35out perfectly she skipped the fancy knife work and went back to simple techniques
31:39which actually brings out the true essence of great flavor she really did a great job
31:49hereby announce that the winner of this season's chef competition
31:55is stella evans
31:59i actually did it
32:07everyone check the trending topics someone's exposed that miss evans and judge carter
32:12have an improper relationship there's something shady about this chef competition as a loyal fan
32:17of the chef competition have every reason to doubt the fairness of this season is this for real did
32:23that really happen as everyone knows every season of the chef competition has a judging process
32:28that is completely open and transparent with the whole thing streamed and recorded if you slander a
32:34contestant out of thin air you'll have to pay the legal price if you question the fairness of the
32:38contest or the professionalism of the judges the carter legal team is always ready to respond
32:45carter group and the main organizer pinnacle holdings have partnered for years they've also
32:50sponsored the chef competition for years i don't think they'd risk their own reputation exactly
32:55i still believe in carter group's credibility object what's going on who is she
33:05gavin you keep saying this is fair but i want to ask you are you and miss evans really just
33:12judge and contestant quinn are you stirring up trouble again just answer me yes or no oh my god that's
33:20serious drama is mr carter really involved with this girl miss quinn is mr carter's childhood friend
33:25she wouldn't lie about this whoa that's wild we need a full investigation into this winner
33:33personal relationship with miss evans has nothing to do with the professional judging
33:38every round of her competition was judged by a professional panel and recorded in full
33:47that's right miss quinn since you've questioned my relationship with mr carter i have a few
33:52questions i'd like to ask you do you have any objections what do you mean hey everyone check
33:59out what's trending this she uh mr carter look miss morgan taking the contestant's main tool is way too
34:09risky cut the crap just do what i told you if you pull this off you'll get your reward i
34:16want stella
34:16to lose all her dignity don't worry miss morgan i'll make sure this gets done right
34:32no that's not true that's impossible what is this this is so low

35:44dad don't call me dad he actually hit her colluding with employees bullying contestants and
35:51still refusing to change is this what we taught you mr morgan is denouncing his own child for

36:05bank cards dad let's go home president morgan is actually pretty reasonable he really can't tolerate

41:32but i'm different i'm the morgan heiress and i'm the only successor to the morgan talking behind

48:17stop stop
48:25stella are you hurt i'm fine
48:29stella watch out stella just go die already let go of him
48:39dad
48:44stella are you okay bad how could you side with an outsider i'm your daughter stella is my real
48:52daughter what do you mean you were taken from us when you were just a child i've been searching for
49:01you for over 20 years
49:07this pocket watch i especially had it made for you when you were just a month old
49:12your birth date is engraved on the back
49:23this date is actually the day my mom always said she found me
49:30don't worry i've already arranged for someone to bring your adoptive mother back home safely
49:35she even showed me pictures of you as a child
49:40you looked a lot like your mother when she was young
49:45sadly your mother fell into depression after you went missing and passed away
49:51before she could see you again
49:56but then why did it take so long to find me
49:59kid the truth is we never stopped looking for you
50:03it wasn't until the chef's competition when i handed you that award the moment we met
50:08you seemed so familiar to me
50:10after investigating we finally confirmed who you really are
50:13this is why quinn wants to ruin stella
50:17because i never had children of my own and under pressure from the morgans
50:21i adopted quinn
50:23all these years quinn has always been the only heir to the morgan
50:30maybe she found out i was looking into stella's background
50:34which is why she did all this
50:36i knew all of this a long time ago
50:39everything in the morgan is mine no one can take it away from me
50:42the morgan doesn't have a daughter as cruel and heartless as you
50:45from now on you are no longer part of this family
50:50what
50:52when i get back i'll officially strip you of your place in the morgan
50:55and hand you over to the police take her away
50:58dad please don't don't turn me into the police dad
