New Tales of Gisaeng
Hello?
It's I.
Mmm.
Are you by any chance at home?
I'm on my way home. I'm almost there.
I'm in front of your house. Meet me there.
Our house?
Yes.
Okay.
So now you're finally listening to me.
Why is your face so sallow?
You still have my pin, right?
Why?
Please give it back.
You came back for your pin?
Yes.
I don't have it.
Did you throw it away?... I don't know.
I must have lost it.
Then...
will you buy me one?
Down the street there is a shop.
You probably didn't eat dinner..?
My friend is waiting for me.
Who?
Why did DaMo come home without eating dinner with YoungNim?
He didn't come in.
His car is here.
Really?
Could he have gone somewhere in the neighborhood?
Pick one.
Please pick one for me.
The big pins.
The ones over there.
How is this one?
Just give it to me.
I'll use it well.
Call me whenever you need help.
There won't be such a case.
Really?
So you came just for the pin?
While I look at this pin..
I'll remember the contemptible nature of men.
I will never again be swayed by a man..
Is the pin really that important?
Is she saying that the pin is more important than me?
No wonder the scene felt strange when I saw it.
Six months at the most?
It's true that people, these days, split up after they've reach a certain number of years together.
I just need to sit back and enjoy the cakes.
If that's the case, a wedding cake would be preferable.
Oh turd.
What's wrong, Mom?
Ddae (dead skin) doesn't even come off my body now that I am old (Koreans exfoliate their body with an exfoliating scrub).
And that is a problem?
If I scrub hard, then I should at least get the satisfaction of seeing dead skin come off my body.
It's because the oil has dried out.
If there is oil in the skin,
there will be dead skin to scrub away.
Your condition is fine, with your strong energy.
Surely, he couldn't be my son.
You're not sleeping?
Ohh... I will.
Still no word from her about what she's planning to do.
You should quit BuYongGak.
If you can, quickly.
Why?
I have decided to go in.
It will look funny for family members to be there together.
And they would eventually find out anyway.
Did dad go somewhere?
He went to exercise at the spring water station.
That's right. You thought well.
Today will be the last day I will see the pig.
How many tables will there be today?
Nine for now. It will increase to over ten by the afternoon.
Do you have something to say?
I.. have decided to work only till today.
What are you talking about?
I am saying that I cannot come from tomorrow on.
Why?
There is that incident from before. I just don't think it fits with my capabilities.
If you're going to quit, you should be giving at least ten days notice.
Do you have no concept of common sense?
Geez, leave it.
There is a saying that you shouldn't hold onto a person who wants to leave.
I was never really satisfied with her, from the start.
I'll bet that on her side, she wasn't satisfied with you, too.
Make a call
and tell them to send over someone who is capable.
If they can, someone from Ho Nam.
You're still home?
Dad.
Let's go out and eat. I will buy.
Really?
Dad, you like sashimi, right?
It might be expensive..
Just eat a lot comfortably.
I've been doing part time jobs here and there.
But, you worked so hard to earn it.
Dad, when things were better, you ate it a couple of times a week.
Do you not remember?
Of course I remember.
I've almost forgotten its taste.
Dad.
I will pour it for you.
Oh okay.
Because my daughter poured it for me, it tastes a whole lot better.
Eat up.
Sure will.
I went to Mom's grave yesterday.
Mr Dan Sook has been taking very good care of it.
I left some tip with him.
You did well.
The graveyard is far away no matter how much I think about.
Yes, it is.
It's all the way in Sung San, but they said the dirt is good there. You can't ignore that kind of stuff.
What will you do later?
What?
Gong Joo's mom.
She'll be there right beside Mom and you?
That won't do.
We'll figure that out slowly.
I am going to enter BuYongGak tomorrow.
I once read a book called "Changing Your Mind Once Is Human Etiquette."
When I thought about it with a different frame of mind, I think I was stubborn for no reason.
Tomorrow?
There's no reason to sigh over it.
I'm not going there to die.
It's not something that you want to do.
If I think it through, it seems like there's nothing wrong with it.
And how much money and fame I earn can depend on what I put in.
I feel ashamed.
For a woman,
Getting married and having children is happiness.
These days, girls hesitate to get married.
Thank you, Dad.
I'm being sincere. Thinking about it..
Mom and dad...
you both have been really good to me..
You were such an obedient child.
Never causing any trouble.
From now on, I will do well.
I'll never forget your love.
Because of you,
do you know how happy we were?
You have to be happier from now on.
Dad, you have that right.
And, you?
Don't worry about me.
I can do anything well.
Take care of yourself and don't worry about me.
Dad's happiness is my happiness.
You have to stay healthy and be well.
What is this?
I think BuYongGak gives it as a contractual deposit.
Actually, they said that I don't have to pay it back.
The representative is very generous.
It's okay. You keep it.
Dad.
How can I take this?
Because you are dad.
This is nothing compared to the love with which you raised me.
I'll take good care of it.
And, when you prepare for your new home,
I'll use it then.
The priority right now is to change our lease from monthly to yearly with the money for deposit.
Later on, I'll buy you a house in your name.
You just have to get healthy again.
Alright.
I thought you would come home after having dinner with Young Nim.
I didn't meet her.
Then where did you go?
Our resort.
Then you should've taken Young Nim.
I'm going there to work, why would I?
She didn't ask you to visit her home?
Her brother is coming in next month? From England?
He asked to meet together when he gets back.
Brothers tend to pay attention to their younger sister's prospective husband.
I don't have any brother to look after me.
Mom, you have me, remember? A solid son.
Very, very solid, almost to a fault.
Will Young Nim continue with the foundation after getting married?
Upon close look, it doesn't appear that she has a specific role.
She appears to be going here and there, giving the right impression.
Still, don't say such things to her in person.
You'll make her feel bad.
You brat.
You sleep all day, don't you?
Since there's no one to play with you, there's nothing to do but sleep, right?
What do you guys want to eat today? I'll treat you.
You must have gotten employed with a good part time job.
A job forever.
Are you getting married?
No.
I've decided to become part of the Bu Yong Gak.
What do you mean?
No way...
It's the truth.
Dan Sa-ran, what's wrong with you?
Are you really serious?
I've given plenty of thought to it.
Now that you don't have your car, is it uncomfortable?
Actually, it's more convenient.
I had to get one because of my grandmother.
You can do whatever you want with the subway. I love it.
I've stopped working at the restaurant.
Why?
It's too far.
I'll rest for a bit and then look for something more suitable.
Sa Ran Noona?
Yes.
Lunch is all ready.
Are you finished with the packing?
No. I have a lot to organize.
So depressing, really.
Could there be any other solution?
It seemed liked she was set on it.
What kind of mom and dad does she have? Can they possibly just watch her do this?
He's an only son, so I'm sure that they will want you to live with them.
Today, try to get a feel by doing this.
"After we get married, won't the house be too big for the two of them?"
Then..?
He'll definitely have a response.
If he's thinking of living apart from them, he'll agree with the statement.
But, if I'm right, he'll say "But, we'll be living with them."
Then what to do?
Tell him that your parents have already purchased a house for you.
If they find that your situation is such that your parents can purchase a house for you, how can they force you to live with them?
Did you buy the Riverside Mansion for me?
That's not it, but if we proceed thusly, would an esteemed person such as your father hand you over to live with them?
He'll get a house and have you guys move in there.
I guess so.
Help me put the boxes in storage when you get a chance.
Who is it?
It's me.
She already came.
Why did you come so early?
If you were preparing dinner, I wanted to have some.
Unnie, where are you going?
Perhaps, you're going to BuYoungYak?
I thought you wouldn't come back so early. So, I left a note for you.
Use the purse from Ra Ra. I don't really have much use for it.
I changed the sheets. So you can sleep comfortably on the bed now.
Please don't come out.
I will take you up to the taxi.
It's okay, Dad. I can just drag this.
Watch your health.
One has to take care of oneself and be careful.
Yes.
Don't go!
Gong Ju!!
How can unni become a gisaeng?!
I don't want to. Just live together.
It's not like we're living on the streets or anything.
What is this?! What is this?!
I know that you're worried, but.
Unni, remember what you said? Dancing is your dream.
Why are you being like this?!
You can't go!
You really!
If there isn't enough, we can get by with less. We're family, why should we separate?
There will always be times when there is money and times when money is lacking.
Don't raise such a fuss, stop making it difficult.
Mom, you should stop making it difficult.
Why are you behaving so out of character?
Because of mom, she became like this! She chose this! Because of you! You!
Unni, are you a idiot?!
Unni, you are the elder daughter of this household. Why should you have to forgo your dream?
I won't do anything to cause you disappointment.
You doing this, as a solution, is a disappointment.
Unni, you are smart!
I hate it.
I don't want you to dance in front of drunken men for money. I don't even want to have to think about it.
Please!
Don't go.
We can live without. We can move to Gyongi and live there.
I have a friend who lives in Ilsan, and it's only 40 minutes to the school.
I can work for a year and then go back to school.
There is still a solution.
I've made my decision.
Stop interfering!
Unni! Unni!!
Unni! Please, don't go!
Don't destroy your life!! Please!!
Look at this child, forgetting her position.
Carrying on, acting like this.
Aish really!!
Just as my Mom and Dad took me in and cared for me,
I will look after you.
I'll make sure that you can live doing whatever you want to do. At least for you.
Two cups of milk tea.
Yes.
Isn't oppa's house really too big?
Because I live there, I am not too sure if it is considered big.
No...I mean if only the two of them were to live there.
Why only two?
Excluding the help.
We won't be living apart.
There's a house that my parents have already purchased for me. The Riverside Mansion.
Is it vacant?
Yes.
Rent it out.
It's a new house and I'd rather not rent it to some strangers.
Then leave it vacant.
Then can't we just move in and live there?
No.
I am an only child. So, I'm going to live with my parents.
Though it's more like we're moving in with them.
You came?
Mother, Dan Sa ran has come.
Right now?
Yes.
Sit down.
I am sure I told you to think about it a lot.
I have given it enough thought.
Have a restful sleep for now. Then, pack lightly for a two night, three day trip.
Come with me to get some fresh air.
About Son So Young's son, Son Ja.
Yes.
Could you find me some more information about him?
Including pictures and his situation.
Yes sir.
Are you still at the hospital?
Yeah, I'm about to go back.
So..
How can I overcome Mom's strength?
I'll go and bring noona back. BuYongGak?
Yes.. let's go together.
Noona, you stay here before you get another bloody nose.
Where is Sohn Ja going?
Don't tell me he is going to BuYoungGak?!
Is he?
You kids sure want to play it to the extremes with your craziness and bleeding nose!
Just in case, when we have our official meeting and they raise the issue of living separately, please firmly answer no.
Why? Did Young Nim ask?
She was trying to plant the idea today.
She wishes to live separately?
Isn't it obvious? She's lived peacefully, like a princess up to now.
What did she say?
That her parents had purchased a house in her name. Riverside Mansion.
That expensive?!
She is suggesting we live there.
If you want, why don't you live apart?
How can that be? Why should I leave?
Then we leave?
It's not like you have other children. Of course we should live together!
We can't let her develop such behavior from the beginning.
I understand your heart, but who nowadays does such things? They consider it inconvenient and they dislike it.
But, still.
Even if it's for just one year, they have to consider the welfare of the family. And, develop affection for each other.
The two living together with happiness is all that matters.
That Han Kang village that we bought, why don't you live there?
The house purchased on her side isn't an option. It's not like we're not capable ourselves.
I will take care of this issue.
When we meet them, please remember our position. Just remain firm.
And, if they answer that it's not acceptable?
Then, forget it. It's not as if there aren't enough women.
I don't know about anything else, but this issue is not negotiable.
At times like these, he shows himself to be my son.
I was trying to be a nice mother-in-law, but this won't do.
You won't have to deal with this. It looks like DaMo will handle everything.
May I help you?
I came to meet a newcomer, Dan Sa Ran.
We can't just call them on our own.
Then?
We have to ask the Mistress first.
Please inform her I'm Ja. I am her sibling.
Is that so?
Apparently your younger brother has come to look for you.
I thought you said you had only one sibling.
He's a relative who is living under the same roof.
Only for today, meet him.
Next time, he cannot come back asking for you like this.
Yes.
I will call for him, so talk with him here.
Mistress.
Yes?
Director Park is asking for you.
It is this room.
Noona, this is not it.
Does this place even suit you?
How is Gong Joo doing?
She's suffering from nose bleeds and lying down.
I stopped her from coming with me.
Come back with me. These are your stuff?
Listen to what I have to say first.
Noona, don't regret it later on. I am living too.
Living without money is better than living without our family. Isn't that right?
That is right.
I'll break the rental lease on my apartment and give them moving cost.
We can just live altogether at my house. What is the problem?
This seems to be the path I must take.
Since when was this your path?
When I think about it, I feel as if I've lived too much based on my feelings.
My parents had raised me through all those hardships.
I wonder what it was all for?
That's old thinking from the pre-war period.
I also want to take responsiblity.
I want to return as much as I have been fortunate to receive.
My dad is not healthy either.
His disease is such that he can't over-exert or tire himself.
That's right. Suppose we go and live in your house.
But until when?
Are you not going to marry?
And, doesn't Gong Joo have to graduate?
Don't worry.
I'll make sure that I'm safe and look after myself.
Also tell Gong Joo as well.
Once, I changed my mind, I felt very peaceful and carefree.
But, still..
This is a place with drunken men.
I just don't have to be drunk.
Even if the world goes crazy,
All I need to do is stay alert.
It is so depressing.
In your eyes,
I will not live a depressing life. So, just stand by and watch.
Why did the kitchen lady quit?
Just because.
The rolly polly...
She'll hear you!
I don't hear her footsteps.
It's obvious. She got tired of being hassled by that rolly polly.
It must have been too hard to take her attitude, given her younger age. It's plain as day.
But still, I think it will be hard to marry.
Who would marry her?
Is she pretty or does she have a gentle mind?
Her body is aging.
But, being a woman, she appears to like our friend here.
How does he fall asleep as soon as his head hits the floor?
It's because this is not working properly.
If you use your brain, your mind becomes very sharp.
And, you just can't sleep like this.
His face is all dry.
Aigoo. I'll have to put this on his face.
Oh my.
Hey, your face is so dry
that we're applying lotion on it.
Ahh geez!
His face really is wide.
There aren't any pillows?
For us, this is pillow.
Too much pressure on the neck causes wrinkles.

Are you all right?
Yes.
Cellphones are not allowed to be used here. So hand it over to me.
I've cancelled the incoming service.
You can still make outgoing calls, however.
In some ways, it's similar to entering the priesthood.
You can inform your family of the phone number of this place.
You can make and receive calls as needed on the in-house telephone.
You just can't use the cellphone.
Yes.
We call our head mistress, "Mother".
You are to learn all that you can from Mother to become a renowned Gisaeng.
You need to abandon and correct any bad habits, whether it's eating habits, careless speech, or laziness.
In your looks, talents, beauty or cultural awareness,
if you're missing even one of these, you will not be able to become a superior Gisaeng, acknowledged by our guests..
I will keep that in mind and work hard.
Don't try to be idle when no one's looking.
Yes.
Do you know how to swim?
No.
I'll get you an instructor. Work hard to learn it.
Swimming is the best option for losing weight quickly.
Starving yourself is not pretty and won't do.
Because I didn't want you to see my back as I leave, I left you this message.
My body will be apart from you, but don't forget that my mind will always be with you.
I'll phone often. I'd like to see you healthier and prettier each time that I see you.
I'll send you on a summer backpacking trip to Europe, so plan your trip well.
"Nagging Old Man"
Hello?
Hello?!
Is it you, honey?
Tell the guests that I've gone to Japan for a few days.
Mother.
Yes?
Do you really need to take Sa ran?
The girls could be jealous.
It's to be expected that she may face some hostility for getting a special treatment.
That is why.
That girl needs some skinship... She is filled with some strong emotions which she is trying to keep bottled in.
Is that so?
Mmm. Whether it's a problem, a hurt or a pain, we have to start by addressing them first.
If not, the added stress of the guests later can lead to too much stress and the wrong frame of mind.
I'll try to look into it and expose it.
Take good care of Mother.
Yes.
You don't drive, correct?
I'll learn if necessary.
Later, slowly.
Did you sleep well?
Without a pillow, it felt a little strange.
Once you get use to it, you'll start to prefer it.
A high pillow is not good for your health.
Yes.
Let's sleep a little on our way.
Enjoy.
We'll take care of ourselves for the next 2 nights, so you won't have to worry about us.
Yes. Please call if you need anything.
Alright.
You look pretty enough.
But why can't your handiworks follow suit?
Do you even know what you did wrong?
I did exactly the same as the head cook.
Then, why have half of the flour peeled off on yours?
It just doesn't look as appetizing as those cooked by Chef Noh.
If the coating is too thick, it's bound to peel off when you turn it.
When it comes to cooking, the color is everything.
Look, look, look here. See how beautiful these squash slices are?
Why can't you keep this wondering colors alive?
What were you thinking to drench them in the flour like this?
What good are these you make?
Are the inner clothes of flower Gisaeng light or thick?
It appears very light.
Yes, that's right.
You have to think of these grilled squash like the inner clothes of the flower Gisaeng.
The flour should appear as if it's barely there.
You have to clothe these squash in a light, translucent clothing.
Can you make it appear as if you desire the divorce?
That's my wish, even for Mother's sake.
It may cause more of a shock to her.
I'll forgo the settlement.
Allow me to leave with dignity.
I feel very bad about this.
You've lived doing your best up to now.
You have a right to a settlement.
If that's your wish, I'll do it.
If that's what I can do for you.
Thank you.
Speak to Ra Ra to prepare her.
We have something to tell you.
Yes.
We have decided to stop living with each other.
Stop living together?
In truth, if we said that we continued our marriage because of Father,
it wouldn't be a lie.
We both wish for the other
to meet someone who will be a better partner.
What does this mean? Daughter-in-law, tell me!
She has done nothing wrong.
I raised it first and she felt the same way.
Do you understand what you are saying?
In the middle of our loss and our mourning,
after decades of living well together, you want to part ways? What about Ra Ra?
Ra Ra is all grown now and accepts it, Mother.
So, you want me to accept it as well?
Is this all that a marriage is?
After being a couple for over 30 years,
like patrons in a restaurant going their separate ways,
you plan to part ways like that?
Mother, please try to see it from our point of view.
After father's death,
we have thought deeply about many things.
We believe that a couple should not merely exist,
without any affection.
A life may be long or short, but
we should meet someone more compatible
and live with some happiness in our lives. Don't you agree, Mother?
Is there a guarantee that you will meet someone like that?
Honestly, as someone's wife, someone's mom,
I am sorry to Mother-in-law..
I don't have any energy left to carry out the duties of a daughter-in-law.
To be honest, I've come to my limit.
I wish to undo the load now, and your son feels the same.
He is still quite young, and he will surely meet a mate who is much better than me. So please be understanding, Mother-in-law.
Since it's your first drink, let me pour it for you.
You have a keen sense of sight.
Men dislike women who can't pour drinks well.
You poured without too much or too little.
They say women are petty-hearted and easily mad, right? But no, it's the men.
And men are the ones who are eager to discover good-tasting food too.
I know.
Let's drink until we can't anymore... today.
Yes.
Don't hold any fantasies about men.
Though I'm not saying you should disregard the guests. But a gisaeng...
Do you think a dance gisaeng wouldn't be sitting by the guests at the tableside?
No.
Be friendly, yet cautious.
Cunning, yet honest.
Respectful, yet assertive.
Sensible, but emotionally-controlled... is the road a gisaeng must go on.
One day, I asked Yoocho granny this.
Don't you regret it?
Are you happy staying here?
What mother said in response, is not to ask her about her happiness.
Only ask me if it was meaningful.
Now that I've come to this age, I often ponder about the meaningfulness as I reflect on my life.
There is pest to every profession.
To be honest, I only spoke of the compliments to this profession when you and your friends came.
But when you become a gisaeng of Buyonggak, you are more lonely than a Buddhist monk.
And at times you can be treated lowlier than a homeless.
Though it's on a very occasion.
But regardless of what line of work or what profession, is it easy to earn money from others?
Even if you offer me a billion dollars to be the president, I can't.
From now on, you will face many occasions where you will cry and your body is exhausted.
There will be lots of times... when you hurt enough to truly realize the meaning of the phrase aching like your heart's tearing up.
This is what this road is.
Though it's a path laiden by flowers, that all women would want to walk on for once.
It's not a path that is only laiden by roses.
It's a path that is also laiden by the thorns.
Each step you walk.
Is painful and full of tears.
Do you think you can do this?
Son and daughter-in-law.
They said they are divorcing.
Mom.
Teach me how to make rice punch.
Is it hard?
No... it's easy.
Enjoy your meal.
Yes.
There's a place that makes this really well in Washington.
Have we talked about our interests?
I only asked about yours.
Just call me by my name.
Why?
By what I see nowadays, real sisters say, Brother.
Girlfriends says Brother, Bar women say Brother, Wife says Brother.
On TV, also, Brother. It's to such an extent that makes me disgusted.
If you say it like that, I'm embarrassed.
It's better to say things honestly.
Then, one for me too
I'm...a little sensitive.
Can't we live apart from your family for only one year?
Why?
From what I heard from my friends. If you get stressed during the "newly-wed" period, you won't get pregnant easily.
Pregnancy too, and miscarriage also.
Are you that weak?
Then, you should either change your temperament or build your physical stamina, instead.
How can I change my personality?
If it's the way you think. Then, all the women from the past, wouldn't have given birth?
They all moved into their husband's homes. And, they endured lives that were many times harsher than now.
But the world has changed.
Do you insist on living apart?
Only for one year, at least.
Leaving the new house vacant is also a very big waste.
I don't think I am your right match, then.
My belief is that even if the world is different, the basic living principle shouldn't change.
Oppa.
Da Mo ssi.
Let's consider this never happened.
And then what?
I took her home and came home.
You are indeed my son.
That's how you tame a woman.
He didn't tame her. He ended things with her.
As if we will never see a daughter-in-law.
They want to be our in-laws.
And CEO Kim is also asking me to see her daughter.
President Han, as well.
Why are the kids so changed these days?
During our generation, it was a given that we move into the husband's family home.
Hello?
Madame Oh, please. This is Dr Geum's home.
Yes, hello.
The chief madame has gone to the countryside for a short visit. She will be back tomorrow.
You've had a boyfriend before, right?
Yes.
Are you still together?
No, we dated for a short while, and split up.
Why?
You spoke of it yesterday.
The trouble with men. I felt it too.
Then you're saying you've never loved.
Dating someone and loving someone are completely different, you see.
Are they worth the love... men?
Scotts (males) come in a thousand varieties. They are not all petty.
There's that saying, isn't there?
A man among men.
There are lots of impressive ones who are perfectly suited for a saying of such.
In that sense, it's nice to be a Buyonggak gisaeng.
You get to meet and face, to your heart's content, all the various impressive men in the world.
After a while, an average man may seem rather dull.
Thus, marriage becomes harder, and in turn, happiness further away.
Her pain is not that of a broken heart from dating.
I can sense that something's gravely hard on you. I wonder what that is.
If you let it all out, it might feel lighter and I may be able to help too.
It's because I'm trampled financially.
She is not tenacious to an average degree.
He does seem to resemble... and then.
Noona!
We're the same, right?
What did she say?
What's her reasoning?
She drank half a bottle of the Western liquor and her gaze still didn't flicker one bit.
And she said not a word wrong.
For most people, if I put them in that kind of ease and create that kind of atmosphere...
they would be sobbing and revealing everything.
She is not warm-hearted then.
She may not be warm-hearted. But, for a gisaeng, who must win at controlling herself, that is a great asset.
I don't think we need to worry about her.
With that kind of mental focus,
We can give it a shot, to make her the top Buyonggak flower, full of fragrance.
Please get a copy of your resident identification for me.
Yes.
Hello?
This is me, mother.
I heard you called yesterday.
Have you had your evening meal yet?
Eating is not the issue right now.
Why? Is there anything wrong?
Are you unwell anywhere?
Could we meet tomorrow?
Of course!
It's definitely a divorce matter. I'm sure of it.
Do well!
What brings you here?
I wanted to see your mother.
She went golfing with my father.
May I sit for a little?
I'm sorry. I was short-sighted.
I will move in here.
Does your mother say it's okay?
You don't have any sense of judgement?
You listen to what your mom tells you on everything?
What do you mean?
Last time when you were talking to her over the phone, it was displeasing.
What I want is my woman.
A woman who only loves me and looks at me, and someone who tries hard to do everything I want.
If I say I want to play baseball, someone who goes to shake a bat with me even if it's nighttime and throws a ball, even if she can't pitch.
A woman who has that kind of mind and heart.
Isn't it the same as living with both of you if we married?
You'd have your ear glued to the phone and ask your mom what you should do and report about everything.
I won't allow that sight.
He's good.
Quiet.
I don't think we are it. We don't suit each other.
I will work hard.
May I give you a piece of advice?
Seperate yourself mentally from your parents first, before you think about marriage.
What would you like for tea?
Do you have anything refreshing?
Rice punch.
Yes.
It seems something's upsetting you.
I'm so outraged.
My eldest son and his wife are divorcing.
Omo.
And their reason is merely...
because they have lived without much affection for each other. Does that make any sense?
Is it for real?
I never got that kind of feeling.. They never fought either.
I just thought they were living courteously.
This isn't my year of three curses this year. Why is all this happening?
My husband left, and all I have left, my son and my daughter-in-law divorcing...
It's your daughter-in-law who asked for it, right?
My son was the one who decided.
That wouldn't be the case.
Director Geum probably said that to cover up for her.
Don't be too upset and just give them permission.
Director Geum is still young and very skilled.
Are you worried there will be no one else?
It's embarrassing though.
Are they young?
A crisis is an opportunity.
After this they might be able to become happier.
We shouldn't hold onto people whose hearts have left.
People whose hearts have left?
Is there something you know?
It is not for sure, but...
Tell me even if it's not definite.
I have to know everything.
Then...
Please don't tell Director Geum and his wife.
You cannot tell them that I said so.
Don't worry.
Last week I went to a a meridian massage...
and on the bed next to mine,
your daughter-in-law was talking to a man.
A man?
Yes.
Since today is our first time studying together,
I figure, we should take a few minutes to get to know each other.
So... tell me how did you learn traditional Korean dancing so well.
Well, it was my major.
Oh, at university.
Yes.
Wow, did you already graduate?
Yes, I did.
Oh, good for you.
I'm home.
Tell daughter in law to come in.
Mother wants to see you.
Where are you going to live after the divorce?
I retrieved the apartment I was renting out, and it is going under repair tomorrow.
How long does it take?
It's going to take 3 weeks.
The smell is going to go away after a month.
Move right out of our house when the repairs are done.
No need to wait till longer.
Keep that in mind.
Where is your house?
Songguk-dong.
Please take me to where the Kang-nam Church is.
Thank you. Have a nice night.
I'm sorry.
The restaurant hours are almost over.
Are you looking for someone?
Amongst the waitresses, there is a Dan sa ran?
Oh, that Miss.
She quit the job.
When?
About a month ago.
Why?
I don't know either.
You sure did well to quit here.
Why did you quit?
I came to see her.
The number you have dialed is temporary out of service.
What is this?
The number you have dialed is temporary out of service.
Did something happen her?
I'm just going to check whether you're okay so.
I won't bother you.
I also have pride.
The moving people are coming tomorrow.
Nonetheless, I have to pack the things that are important.
What should I do?
Take a look at those and pick one that you like.
It's too fancy for me.
Take one since it's my heart.
It's not like I'll never see you.
Are you not going to see me now?
Pearls are basic. So, take it now instead of regretting later.
Under that, there's a two layer one.
Below it.
Which building?
Please stop over there.
Give me 10 minutes.
Oh, Da-mo!
Oh!
Why are you here at night?
Just because...
I had a drink and then I thought of you.
That's touching.
Are you throwing the trash out?
Yeah.
Just wait a bit.
Yeah.
Since I saw your face, I'm good.
Come on up.
Your wife's probably there.
Let's have dinner tomorrow.
Let's do that.
You didn't drive here, right?
Hired driver.
Be reminded.
Be reminded of.
Wake up.
Are you really drunk?
Unni, drink some honey water.
Get the blanket out, please.
For the boring time that you've had to lived with me...
Didn't you feel like you were cultivating your good deeds on earth?
It wasn't to that extent.
Then, that's a relief.
Though I was not extremely happy or blissful.
I was not miserable either.
Now that I'm planning my leave,
I don't seem to think of the hardships.
I only remember the good memories.
A person's heart is like that.
I am sorry to you, Dear.
If it wasn't for me, you could have seen your child.
And could have lived a happy life.
Thanks to Ra Ra, I've lived life without such thoughts.
You should meet someone who is much younger.
And have a child late in life.
What are you going to do, Dear?
I'm thinking about a few options.
I'm not just saying this.
Don't live a lonely life by yourself.
I don't know if I might call and ask to have dinner with you.
Whenever is good.
Be healthy.
You, too.
Some woman and some man were having their first date together.
The air was hot.. So, she asked him to turn on the air conditioner.
But he says the air from the air conditioner isn't good for your body. So, he says not to turn it on.
And when she wanted to open the car window, he says not to open the window or else the bad air will come in.
They arrive at some cafe and start talking.
The man was sitting with his head slighty strained.
Looking sideways to the girl.
Do you know why?
He was wearing a wig!
Where did you hear that?
Someone experienced that and wrote it in a book.
But Sohn Ja, since you have so much hair, you wouldn't have to worry about going bald.
Is it not funny?
They say there are five reasons why a man and a woman would split up after they marry.
One.
He thought his wife wasn't someone who would snore.
Two.
Before they married, the woman thought her boyfriend farted on the frequent side.
But after marrying him, she discovers the truth that her husband has actually has a hole in his underwear.
Three.
Every now and then she finds her husband's manner of eating rather messy.
Four.
He didn't know his wife was someone who kicked her legs up and scratched her thighs as she watched TV.
Five.
It seems his wife buys her own clothes at the shops.
But she buys his clothes at the street stands.
Noona.
Is it not funny?
Noona!
Please laugh and smile again.
They say a worry gives you a wrinkle and a smile gets you a year younger.
Why would I smile?
My sister is dancing as she's selling liquor. What great thing is that for me to smile and laugh about?
Dan Gong Joo, put a lid on it.
You are pushing it.
You should wear something better.
What is wrong?
You're not going out to meet someone?
No.
Tomorrow is his date with Director Park's daughter.
I see. Don't come home too late.
Let's go out for dinner together since we haven't done it in a long time.
I have plans to eat dinner with my friends.
You two enjoy.
Perhaps.. Dan Sa ran..
She's my older sister.
Is she in right now?
Are you Chairman Ah's son?
Did you hear it from your sister?
I heard from Ra Ra unni.
She came and made a huge commotion once.
Even to the point my sister got slapped on the cheek.
Could you call her out?
Her phone is unavailable.
She's not here.
She doesn't live here.
Did she go somewhere?
Did she go the countryside somewhere?
Why did you come?
My understanding is that you two ended things.
Please go.
Wait.
Hey student!
Please let's talk.
I saw a bakery out in the front.
Please have some.
Is my sister's whereabouts what you wanted to know?
What are you going to do about it?
There's nothing wrong, right?
Is there something going on?
It hasn't been long since she left.
Did she go abroad?
She became a gisaeng.
Dan Sa ran! Dan Sa RAN!!!!
Just a moment.
Just do whatever fitting for two or three months.
I have to get things organized, even if it's for living for one day.
Or else I'd feel my intestines are tangled up.
Such a neat-freak.
Hey student!
