New Tales of Gisaeng
Have some.
Is my sister's whereabouts what you wanted to know?
But what are you going to do?
There's nothing going on, right?
Is there something going on?
It's been quite some time since she left home.
Did she go abroad?
She became a gisaeng.
What gisaeng?
You must have heard of Buyonggak.
I am saying she went into that house 20 days ago.
R-really?!
I wish it was a joke too!
When did you talk to her? Is she okay?
She said that she isn't allowed to use a cellphone either.
I haven't seen her since she went in.
I am sorry. I will see you again later. Can I have your number?
I might need to talk to you.
If you are okay with it, Mother-in-law...
I would like to come visit once in awhile.
Don't worry about us...
and have a good life.
As the daughter-in-law of our (Geum) family,
you went through many big events...
and you took good care of RaRa.
You suffered a lot because of various things.
Good job.
Keep...
in touch with RaRa.
Of course!
Your pretty face
has become old now.
I told RaRa's father that
he should meet someone who is much younger...
and to at least have a child now.
To have a child...
you have to have that in your fate.
Are you angry with me, Mother-in-law?
I had a blessed early life
and middle age.
But it seems,
my late-life is tumulteous.
You can never know a person's fate.
It could be very possible that your prosperity comes after you've endure some hardships.
I will be able to be in peace...
when I hear that you are doing well.
Is anyone there?
Is there anyone there?!?
There is a person named Dan SaRan here, right?
Are you a family member?
Please tell her that Ah DaMo is here.
She can't meet anyone just because you're a friend.
We have to get the director's permission, but she is not here right now.
Please, I will leave it in your care. Please just tell her that I am here. My name is Ah DaMo.
One step there.
And go again..
One more step and back..
But why are you learning ballroom dance?
Oh, there are some foreign parties sometimes.
Some national event or holiday.
The foreign VIPs sometimes hold special parties.
We send the gisaengs there to enhance the atmosphere.
Miss Dan, you sure are talented. It usually takes others 3 to 4 months to learn the dance.
I think you will finish learning the dance within a month.
Didn't you say that to me too?
Oh, you have talent too.
So thirsty.
Dan SaRan-ssi!
Miss Dan!
Yes?
A person named Ah DaMo is waiting for you outside.
He asked me to call you. Send him off before the director comes back.
Just tell him something.
Please tell him to leave.
Tell him that I have nothing to say to him.
She said to leave and that she has nothing to say to you.
Sir!
Where do you think you are going?
Dan SaRan!
Who are you?
He is looking for the new Miss Dan.
Do you have an appointment?
No. This isn't the prison. Must I apply for a visitation before I can see her?
Those are our rules.
I will call you when the director gets back. You can leave your business card if you want.
Dan SaRan.
Dan SaRan!... Dan SaRan!!
Dan SaRan!
I just need to see her for a moment.
Come back tomorrow, okay? Tomorrow.
Dan SaRan!
Excuse me, sir!
Dan SaRan!
Where are you?!?
What are you?
What are you doing here?
You can't do this here.
Let go of me.
You're not in your right mind, right now.
Are you crazy?
Where the heck do you think this place is?!?
Come out.
Come out!
This place is safe, so don't worry.
Dan Sa Ran! Are you not listening to me?!
Let go!
Let go of me! Let go! Let go!
I said let go of me!
I said to let go of me!... Dan SaRan!
Let go! Let go!
Dan SaRan!
Dan SaRan!!
Let go of me!
Hello... What happened?
He is probably SaRan's boyfriend or something.
She had a boyfriend?
Let go!... Dan SaRan!
Give me your number.
I will call you when the higher-ups come back.
He must be your boyfriend, right?
Wow. His temper sure was something...
What does he do for a living?
He doesn't work.
His physique and face are totally hot.
You should have cleaned it up before you came here.
I did.
Both parties.
From what I saw, the break-up was one sided.
That idiot. She's going to become a gisaeng?
You can't park your car here. Please vacate the space quickly.
Grandmom!
I will buy you something that you have never eaten before in your life.
Something...that I haven't eaten before?
Something you haven't eaten before.
Do I like silly cuisine?
It's definitely not some silly cuisine.
It is something that you never had, but you will really like it once you taste it.
What is it?
The best you can only get among a hundred shops.
Stress is best relieved through eating.
I don't have any stress.
Then, why is your mood so oink oink (bleh/bad. -Korean expression to use "oink")?
Am I an oinking pig?
Get up, Grandma.
Get yourself dressed super sharp.
So that others can say I must be your daughter you had late in life.
Let's see... is this a pigsty now?
What pigsty, when the maid come and cleans daily?
I'm so tired.
You only watched movies on the plane, right?
Let's go out for dinner.
The ahjumma probably already prepared all the food. All we need to do is set it up and eat.
What about YoungSan?
If we do something wrong, we might end up with a blue-eyed daughter-in-law.
He is dating women instead of studying?
The daughter of his professor at school.
She is pretty and her background is good too.
Her mother is a successful lawyer.
Should I call him to come back?
He says the U.S. suits him well.
I don't think I can go visit Mother-in-law today.
I think I must be in menopause.
Why do I feel so irritable.
I had no problem going on a plane before.
So it's just coffee?
Coffee is good too.
What is this?
Is this bread or what?
Waffle.
You have heard of it before, right?
I don't know.
Try the coffee.
The scent will probably be unique.
How is it?
It is good.
I will take you out more.
It would have been better...
if you did that when your grandfather was still alive.
Don't cry, Grandma.
You won't digest the food well if you eat and cry.
Are...you really okay?
I'm worried about you.
Truthfully...
I was shocked and wasn't really happy about it at first.
But...
compared to SaRan, my situation is nothing.
Why? What's wrong with SaRan?
If she knows about SaRan's situation, she might look for her whenever she visits BuYongGak.
And it will be awkward for Sa Ran.
Why?
Her situation is hard so she goes around doing part time jobs and stuff.
If I'm compared to her problems, my problems are nothing.
Yeah...
it's best to think like that.
There are all sorts of situations out in the world.
I feel bad for SaRan. She was born into a poor/bad family.
How messily did you guys end it that he came here to look for you?
We weren't going out for long and we ended it cleanly.
I just didn't tell him that I was coming into BuYongGak.
My sister told him, it seems.
HongGeun, it's me.
Something suddenly came up, so I don't think I can make it today.
Yeah.
Okay.
Hello?
Mr. Ah DaMo?
Yes.
I heard you came here to meet Dan SaRan?
Yes.
I cannot allow you two to meet alone.
If you want to meet her, meet with me there.
Sure.
There was a girl named EunHae Unnie.
Like your situation, she had some problems with her boyfriend when she came into BuYongGak.
Because she wouldn't listen to the guy,
he cut her face with a knife.
Ever since then, we don't allow couples to meet alone.
Our situation isn't that extreme.
I heard that he caused a total uproar though.
Is it a problem for me to be there?
No.
Not at all.
Please sit.
Subtitles by Team Gisaeng @ Viki.com.
I do not have a business card.
From what I hear,
you two didn't date each other for a long period of time.
I heard you guys ended on a clean and pleasant note.
Are you trying to demonstrate against me?
Are you trying to say, "Fine, look at what my plight will become"... is that it?
Do you think you're that amazing?
Then what is it?
You said you were only going to focus on dancing.
I came here because I am going to do that.
What relationship do you have with me that requires for you to interfere here?
I know.
We're over.
Don't be a nuisance and leave.
I'm not leaving alone.
I've given this decision plenty of thought.
Being a gisaeng for a job?
Then is it a hobby?
Are you an elementary student?
Stop saying "you, you."
We weren't even that close.
Ms. Dan Sa-ran.
Do you not know what happens here?
It's where men drink and play around.
Exactly.
When you have drinking and playing, you must have dancing.
What do I have to do to get you to listen to me?
What do I have to do to get you to understand?
Please hurry up and get married.
And stop this uncalled-for interference.
You've done enough already, haven't you?
Were your circumstances really that urgent?
No.
Because I couldn't utilize my talents.
And on top of that, they give me a lot of money.
I told you that I can give you that money!
You're not my parent,
Or my oppa or uncle. Why do you insist on giving me money?
This is why I'm going to use my skills to make a living for myself proudly.
Fine.
Let's do this then.
Dance for me everyday.
How much do you pay here?
Enough to help a person in need.
Saying anything else
would be pointless now.
We've already uncovered all your intentions.
Please don't bother us anymore.
This isn't a personal residence, but a business.
The guest is leaving.
Please guide him out.
I'm telling you right now.
I'm definitely going to take you out of here.
Who is the owner here?
Director Oh Hwa-ran.
It's a woman?
Yes.
What do I need to do if I want to meet her?
She is going to be late today.
I will be in the car, so please let me know when she gets back.
You two were very much in love.
Why did you break up?
It wasn't love.
It was self interest.
Once she tidies up her place, then you should go and have a look once.
How is it?
It has a nice view.
It is also a comfortable living.
Why should I?
Do you think I told her
with no remorse to move out of our house when the repairs finish?
The divorce
wasn't your idea, right?
I have heard things.
From Ra-ra?
Does Director Geum jog everyday?
No.
"You can strain your muscles, so don't go jogging everyday."
She called the person "honey" and said it will take six months at the most.
The term "Three Riches" must refer to...
a widow with two sons.
Don't let Ms Oh know I heard it from her.
Yes.
It seems to be the likely case,
that she and he have known each other for a long time.
I don't really have rights to fault or resent her though.
Yours was before you two married.
While you two were married...
did you ever do anything irresponsible toward her?
She must have felt regretful that she couldn't bear a child.
It must have caused her stress.
Then she should've just said she wouldn't marry you from the getgo then.
She ruined your pillars.
And now she acts like she's worried about you?
While, in actuality, she's about to leave and embrace her happiness?
She lived diligently here.
And that's why I didn't say anything bad.
And let her leave with things on a good note.
You did well.
It is very much like you.
Han Soon Deok.
By chance, are you still seeing her these days?
A few days ago, once.
Why?!
I told you not to meet her.
Never..
Don't you ever think about dragging her into this place.
She's someone who gave birth to my child.
And thanks to Han Soon Deok, the child's life has become what it is.
And your father too!
He didn't fulfill his fated life.
I will never..
Accept her as part of the family!
And then?
He was waiting in the parking lot this whole time until just a little while ago, before leaving finally.
What does he do?
He says he doesn't have a business card.
And, according to Sa Ran, he's jobless.
But it seems to me like he's from a rich family.
From what I see in Sa Ran, she seems clean and done with him.
But the other person seems like he can't let go.
Dear, you have to be thankful to me.
For what?
It's because I've shown him what the duties of a filial son are...
that Da Mo grew up to be this filial to us.
He'll find a woman who can move in here and serve her parents-in-law well.
Shall I bow to you then?
Yup.
Really?
You were just saying it vainly?
I will do it later.
Young Nim... truthfully speaking..
She doesn't like dogs, so I wasn't too fond of her.
That is right..
Since she doesn't like dogs,
it's a little hard to see how she can work out here.
Andre!
The world is wide.
There are lots of people who like dogs.
We will bring a pet-loving sister-in-law for you, so don't you worry there.
It must be your brother.
Dan Sa Ran.
You are higher-tacted than I thought.
You came that day to ask for a pin that day, so that we could come to this today.
I couldn't figure out what was going on back then.
But at last, you made me curious and worried and you had me calling for you.
But you had your phone halted on purpose.
You're telling me you will keep your pride until the end, but you will not forget me, is that it?
You thought and thought.
And came up with that Buyonggak card.
I truly never imagined you would go in there.
Fine.
I'll play this high game of yours.
I will bite on your trick.
Just look at Miss Dan's face.
Pretty is one thing.
But she has an aura.
Not a woman who is flashy and loud.
But a woman who has an aura. Men fall for that and they can never escape.
The guy is good-looking too.
Right, ahjussi?
His car too.
The best foreign car.
Then it means he's from a pretty lofty family.
He drives around in the car.
So why would she kick an able-man like him to come in here?
Just because a man is able,
doesn't mean his ableness will feed her maiden family too.
Right?
But Dan Se ssi, you know how to speak such lines too?
What did I say?
Those lines that express the cunningness of the world.
Did you think I forgot I live in the world?
You do look as though you have.
You mean I look like a dummy?
Nah.
Simple, I mean.
A good-hearted bear.
According to Mr. Yoo.
He doesn't seem like he would give up.
What do you think will happen?
No one can be sure about a man and a woman.
Yes, Vice-President.
I'll see you later then.
Yes.
Hello?
Chief Oh Hwa Ran, please.
Speaking.
This is Ah Da Mo, who went there yesterday over the matter of Dan Sa Ran.
Did you hear about it, by chance?
I heard.
I'm here at the Buyonggak parking lot.
I'd like to meet you briefly.
That guy from yesterday, came again.
He was walking toward Mother's room.
Is your name Ah Da Mo?
Yes.
Do you give them advance money when they come here?
Yes.
How much did you give to Dan Sa Ran?
On the a lot side.
A lot. How much?
We don't reveal such for privacy reasons.
It's because I want to give it to you.
It was one bill.
$100,000.
I will pay you back, so please let Sa Ran leave.
She came in here on her own accord. I am not holding her by force.
I'm asking you take the money back and send her out.
If I did that, what would you do afterwards?
I will take care of things accordingly.
There are things you cannot settle with money.
Affection is such.
I've already given my affection to that girl.
Even if I receive the money back, what would you do about that?
Dan Sa Ran needs to walk the path of a dancer.
Please help her.
Do you like Sa Ran?
Yes.
Do you cherish her?
Yes, I do.
Do you love her?
I cherish her as though she were my younger sister.
This is exactly the case of that.
You don't want her for yourself, but you don't want others to have her either.
It is, right?
I can see why Sa Ran has no lingering attachment left for you.
The money I gave her when she first came in wasn't $100,000. It was $10,000.
But even if you come back with a million, I don't think I can comply with your wish.
Chief.
For Sa Ran's sake.
I don't meddle with other people's lives.
If she wishes to leave, I wouldn't hold her back.
This is not something you should request of me.
Then allow me to meet with her.
I thought you two already conversed yesterday.
One more time.
And if you still fail to persuade her.
You will then give up completely, right?
If you promise me that, I will allow you two to meet.
Yes.
Her lesson schedule is full today.
Even if Sa Ran says she will, tomorrow is the soonest possible.
I'll wait in the car.
I'm coming.
He really really likes you.
I was testing him. So, I told him I gave you $100,000 and he said that he would settle it.
Is he from a family of that kind of financial caliber?
When his grandpa passed away, he left a lot of land in his name.
Why did you reject someone so capable like him to come in here then?
I didn't reject him.
You mean he dumped you, but he's causing a uproar now?
Yes.
He surely deserved what he got.
He's just a man to the extreme.
Undeveloped.
Do you really not hold any lingering feelings for him?
Yes.
Then meet him in person and tell him clearly.
He said he would give up if you won't change your mind.
Oh my, the maid changed?
Yes.
Are the family members not in?
The doctor is in the study on the second floor.
What about sister-in-law?
You came.
Yeah.
Please come in.
Please tell Dad to come down.
Okay.

Grandma, sleeping?
I came, Mother.
Are you not feeling well?
No. I was sleepy after eating lunch.
Aigoo.
I heard you confessed everything to our child without consulting us first.
Forgive us.
It was your idea, right?
You know my heart.
I don't know it. I can't understand anything you do.
Please tell me later.
Have some rice punch.
You didn't go golfing?
Yes.
Yeon-sang is fine, right?
Yes.
Is he studying well?
<...... -empty...... ->
He does, but he's batting one eye elsewhere. I wonder who he takes after...
Nowadays, even kids who are good at academics have a lot of knack.
Did you make this?
No. I arrived yesterday, how could I have made this?
I made it, Grandma. I learned it from mom.
Really?
Yes.
Did sister-in-law go somewhere?
Did she go golfing?
While you were in America,
they filed for divorce and she left yesterday.
Really?
Yes.
Why?
Since you'll only be living here for two or three months, just do enough to live on.
I have to orgnanize everything even if I stay here for a day. Or, else I'd feel like my intestines are twisted.
Such a neat-freak.
Oh.
How are the kids?
They'll probably order pizza.
They should eat rice though.
My heart wants to you come to our house next week.
We ended on a pleasant note.
Mother, you must be so disheartened.
I wonder what worse sights I end up seeing as I live longer.
I'm sure this is it.
What about the household chores?
The new lady is good at it.
Her food is pretty good too.
Director! There's a phone call for you!
Yes.
Even if she's good, what about the breakfast and dinner dishes?
A housekeeper who lives here.
Just bring kimchi once in a while.
Yes.
There's no reason for you to stay here. Come with us.
Why?
What do you mean why? Are you a child-head-of-household? You have normal parents right here!
I thought I said I didn't want to talk about that anymore.
That was before we knew they were going to get a divorce? The situation has changed now!
Nothing is going to change for me.
Even if you have a maid...
Are you really that dumb?
You're already making rice punch with your own hands!
It's good if a woman can cook.
I... seriously.
It's delicious.
Ra-ra, step out for a moment.
Just say whatever you have to say in front of me.
Mother-in-law... brother-in-law.. We will take Ra Ra.
Am I a little child?
I'm not saying we will change your registry to go under our name. Just come with us.
I told you I won't.
Brother-in-law needs to remarry. He's at an age that he can start over without trouble.
Dad, I don't care if you have a girlfriend or lover, so please do all that so you don't get lonely.
But on the outside. I prefer that you don't remarry.
What is this talk?
I'm saying I will be a dutiful daughter.
You gave up on your child in order to marry, didn't you?
And mom wouldn't have came to this decision if she really regarded me as her own child she gave birth to.
I want to show her I feel differently.
You two who gave up on your own child in order to marry.
And the mom who left in order to pursue her own happiness, her own life.
I will show you guys that is not how you ought to live.
And you're not going to marry?
I will. Why wouldn't I?
I will meet a man who can accept my situation.
And come into this house and live with dad and grandma together.
And very happily too. Since a son-in-law is also a son.
Mother-in-law, do you agree with her thinking?
Your heart is beautiful and lovely.
But don't worry about things here and just go live comfortably at your auntie and uncle's.
Don't turn your back on me, grandma!
What kind of man would marry and live at his in-law's these days? Life doesn't go as you want.
Please wait and watch. If there isn't anyone else, I will marry Dr. Oh.
Oh Jin Ahm, you mean?
Yes. I saw him a few times at the hospital while grandpa was hospitalized. He seemed interested.
And he's not lacking in any aspects.
It's because he knew you are my daughter.
Regardless.
He's too quick-minded and cunning.
I will not cause you any worries, so please just listen to what I ask of you.
I'm fine with you dating or seeing anyone.
But only outside the home. Please.
Did you meet her?
Yes.
How is she?
Her voice ruins it.
What about dinner?
We just talked a little and parted ways.
But you still should've had dinner with her.
She says she doesn't like to eat a meal with somone she just met, since it's uncomfortable.
Don't worrry. The world is wide, and there are lots of precious daughters from the well-to-do families.
Jo-woon-mo-woo (cloud in the morning becoming evening rain).
Gak-ja-moo-chi (one with horn has no tooth).
Dan-soon-ho-chi (rosy lips and white toothed).
Gyeon-ri-mang-eui (seeing gain will forget royalty).
Ma-boo-wui-chim (shave a hatchet to make needle).
Shim-shim-sang-in (a heart explains to another heart).
Jong-go-nak-ji (a spousal pair loving each other).
Dae-wol-dong-ah.
What does that mean?
Is that from a book?
Are you not going to play this properly?
Daegu department store closes on Wolyo (Monday).
And Dong-Ah department store closes on Tuesday.
Hey, what the heck is that? You lose.
You're not going to wash up?
This is how she feels now. But, after a while, she'll get worn out and she'll come then.
Yeon Sang is obviously going to end up living in the U.S. forever.
And Ra Ra says she's going to bury her bones there.
What do we do?
I'm so lonely.
But you have me.
Ra Ra, that brat. The way she is, she won't even let us touch her baby once she gives birth to a child.
When we're the actual grandmother and grandfather.
What would it be then? Maternal great aunt?
And maternal great uncle?
Is that what we will be?
Yes.
Unbelievable.
Hello?
It's Ra-Ra.
Yes, noona.
Why are you out of breath?
I was doing sit-ups.
I see. Gong Joo has her phone off.
Yes.
Sa Ran hasn't called?
She did call ahjussi the day before yesterday.
She's doing okay?
Yes, noona says she's doing well.
That girl doesn't even call me.
They don't allow them to keep cellphones there.
If you want to talk to her over the phone, you can just call Buyonggak and ask them to connect to her.
If he were my child, she wouldn't have just cut off contact completely like that.
But he does seem to resemble quite a bit.
Should we start seeing patients, Doctor?
Hello?
It's me, Mother.
Yup.
Did you have lunch yet?
Not yet.
If you don't have an appetite, come to our restaurant.
The day before yesterday, our daughter-in-law left our house.
Oh my.
They say an extraordinary person is recognized.
The house feels so empty.
Why wouldn't it feel so?
If you have business to tend to this way, come by once every now and then.
And come eat a meal here. The new ahjumma who works for us is quite a cook.
I shall do that, Mother.
Yes.
Yes, please hang up.
You're going to go out like that?
It's cold outside. It's chilly.
Don't rile him too much. Men have a temper about them once they get worked up.
They don't think about consequences sometimes.
Yes.
Why do you meet with him at night?
It's just barely evening.
I suppose he had to go outside of the city to run some urgent errand.
Did your parents give their approval?
Yes.
Let me request this of you. Leave that place.
Let me ask this of you, too, as my last request. Stop concerning yourself with it.
If you were me, wouldn't it concern you, too?
It's not as though we don't know each other. We once got along well and conversed well.
Our relationship was deceiving and deceived.
Please speak correctly.
I'm sorry.
Please stop putting me in further difficult positions.
People might misunderstand our relationship to be extremely deep.
Quit first and within a year I'll make a company dance group.
This isn't idle talk!
I have no interest.
I've settled on this road and I will succeed.
Succeed?
If you succeed, it's the same thing as becoming a bar madam.
Do you know what gisaeng means?
I know.
Then
is this the way you want to live?
Nowadays it's different from the past.
50% or 100%, it is still the same.
Men too.. whether it's 50% or 100%.
Aren't they all the same?
Have you gone inside the guests' rooms yet?
I will, starting next week.
Just listen to me this time.
Later on you'll be glad you listened to me!
Living this way is my fate and fortune.
You still have lingering feelings for me, right?
Can't you tell by looking at my expression?
Then why did you ask me to buy you a pin?
And why do you have it on?
It seems you have misunderstood.
I should have explained it to you.
Looking at this pin,
I can remember the egotism and coarseness of men.
Because no matter what situation I'm in, I won't allow myself to fall in love again.
So that I can remember and not forget.
That's why I asked you to buy this for me.
Not because I didn't have enough money to buy a pin.
Don't even think about making a dance group.
Use that money and come to the Bu Yong Gak once in a while.
Then that's where I'll play with you.
Subtitles by Team Gisaeng @ Viki.com.
Merely this?
Is this what you merely amounted to?
Listen carefully.
From now on, I will snatch and grab everything I can snatch and grab from men.
Money, then money.
If love, then love.
I will snatch and grab without any reservation.
Please..
You weren't like this before.
You were so innocent and pretty before!
People change.
Why did you change?!
It's because of me!
It's my fate. Who am I to blame?
Then please listen to me!
You standing like this..
I don't think I can do anything.
Worrying about me so much to the point you can't get married.
Now, you don't think you can work at all, as well?
Yes.
How is that you still only think about yourself until the very end?
Everyone is supposed to match to your level of thought and convenience.
Don't you think that's too much?
You don't know yourself at all?
It's no loss to you.
I want to help! Is it bad that I want to help you?
I have nothing to say.
Just try to hold onto the hands of drunkard punks.
I feel no sensation in my wrist.
I only get sensations if they hug me.
You said you needed to be held to feel it!
Bring a bag of money and appoint my presence.
Then I'll show you my face.
I didn't tell you about Director Choi, did I?
What?
Well.
He just had a child late in life. His third.
Ehhh?!
How old?
Fifty-six.
What about his wife?
There is a ten year difference...
So forty-six then.
Is it a son or daughter?
A daughter.
When the kid enters kindergarten, he'll be an old man of sixty-years in age.
He is more like a grandpa, not a father.
She must be pretty!
He can't bear to keep his mouth shut from the bliss.
Might be great for him, but what about the kid?
These days, the life expectancy is longer...
So if he were to live past 90, it's nothing.
What can you do even if you live long?
It isn't much of a father's face, but more like a grandpa face.
Don't say anything.
He had her because he wanted to.
He should just marry off his eldest daughter and wait for a grandchild.
Wasn't it because he only has daughters and he was trying to have a son?
The second child is a son.
Although we don't have a daughter, a daughter-in-law would be fine..
We get a girl to come in here.
Being called "Father-in-law, Father-in-law" sounds very nice.
But with things not going well.
I think it would be very hard to be married in the Summer.
Then, by the Fall.
Though it'll be hard on the daughter-in-law.
Since she has to go through winter and summer to give birth to a kid, if she were to be pregnant in the fall.
10.11.12.1.2.3.4
5.6.7.
July, then.
Did you meet up with Sa ran?
Yes.
Did her meeting go well?
They had a big round.
They fought?
According to Mr. Kang,
Sa Ran got hit once...
and the other person got hit a couple times.
Looking at how severe the fight was,
it means that there is still love.
It's just because they are young and hot-tempered.
Pretty soon, it'll be Sa Ran's birthday.
She will come for her birthday, you think?
It's still 15 days away though.
If she can't come, then we can just make some food and send it to her.
Are you on a diet?
Yeah.
How are you here?
I came to see my sister.
Who is your sister?
Dan Sa Ran.
Ohhh.
Your sister went swimming.
Swimming?
It helps to build physical stamina and it's great for dieting.
It is almost time for her to come back, so please come in and wait.
No, it's okay.
This place is not weird. It's the same as a high-end restaurant.
You are pretty as well.
I am sorry to ask, but did you have your nose raised?
Why would I raise my nose?
It's originally like that and not done?
If I had money to get my nose done, would my sister be here?
You're pretty.
She's coming.
Gong Joo!
What brings you here?
I wanted to see you.
I was wondering if anything was going on and also because I was worried.
What could happen to me?
Her name is Gong Joo?
Yup.
Come in for a sec.
No.
Pounded rice cake that you love.
I have to go to school.
I'll eat it well.
Are there any hardships?
I'm learning a lot here and there.
Can you not come on your birthday?
I'll see and call you back.
Next time, let me know when you come.
There's a delicious eatery nearby here.
You're not hurt anywhere?
I'm trained as a dancer.
Compared to home, I'm eating better and feeling better.
What school is it?
The director is looking for you.
How did it go yesterday?
I made it so he lost all his fondness for me.
If you hurt another person, then you ache too.
I think he will probably hate me in his dreams too.
I am also a woman..
But once a woman decisely acts mean, a man is no match for her, of course.
Welcome.
Grandma?
She just washed her hair and is now drying it.
This..
It's persimmon punch.
It's cold.
What is your weekend schedule like?
Golf.
With whom?
With you, Dear.
Why?
You should drink with me as well.
Before you came, I had a cup.
Ohhh!
How did you make the iced coffee so good?
I only know how to make coffee good.
When you can do one thing well, then you can do other things well.
How is Sa Ran doing?
She's busy learning this and that, right now.
Does she go into guest rooms?
Starting Monday, she will.
Excuse me, but...
I was hoping that you wouldn't talk about Sa Ran to grandmother.
If she finds out, she won't feel good about it.
And Sa Ran doesn't particularly like people talking about her either.
Of course.
If you miss her, then come by.
I wish to, but...
I don't want to get in the way.
Before evening is fine.
Yes.
Is Sa Ran's situation really difficult?
It seems to be.
It was okay before.
I don't mean just financially, but any other troubles?
Like someone who is really ill...
I haven't heard.
If you feel disheartened, couldn't you come and stay at Buyonggak, Mother?
We have lots of rooms, and lots of family members to chat around with too.
What about my son and Ra Ra?
Then please come by often.
Okay.
Ra Ra is such a comfort.
She is.
I thought she was an immature kid, but...
How is your son?
Is he not strained?
He actually seems more free.
Grandma.
The madame brought persimmon punch.
Persimmon punch?
I thought you could only have this in the winter?
If you keep it in the kimchi fridge, the taste is the same as what you'd eat in Winter.
It's not too sweet, and it's just right, and refreshing.
I'll bring the rice punch and kimchi, so don't worry about making them.
How could we allow that?
It's the kitchen staff making them anyway.
We only use the best ingredients, and the kitchen staff are skilled, so they are very tasty too.
She has to hurry up and enter the customers' rooms in order to make big bucks.
Where are you?
France!
Why are you there?
Oh...
When are you coming back?
When you come back, let's have a drink together.
I'll buy it, but...
you make reservations under your name.
Bu Yong Gak.
You know, that gisaeng house.
And make sure you request Dan Sa-ran.
Not Sa-rang, Sa-ran.
Yeah...
I'll spend whatever I have on you.
Let's see how long you last.
Please give me a cup of tea.
If you don't want to,
we can go somewhere nearby.
Please have a seat.
It's Polygonatum tea.
Are you coming back from the temple?
Yes.
The day before yesterday, my wife
packed her stuff and left the house.
My mother,
is a bit mad at you right now.
She must feel a little resentful.
Why wouldn't she be?
Not right away, but
I think we should work towards making mother feel better.
I know my limits.
I don't want to be greedy for anything other than finding my child.
Do you think of this as greed?
It's what's best for the child's sake as well.
Seeing how Master Jeong foretold such a thing just by looking at your face.
And aside from that as well...
based on your conception dream alone.
Our child is still alive somewhere.
And if she's alive, we will find her.
When we find her, us living together in the same house,
will serve as a relief and our duty to that child.
Don't you think?
And...
You're the one I want.
I want to live with you.
When someone loves another,
there does not need to be a reason or circumstance for it.
You just love
and want to be with them.
Loving someone because of a reason
is not real.
Even if it's only for the child,
you'll have to put up with worse plights.
Even if mother says unjust things,
just bear with it for the meanwhile.
Think of our child
and for us.
What about mother?
To your mother, I am a criminal.
And the same to our child.
You did nothing wrong.
It's my fault.
It's not as if I regret what has happened in the past.
If we had to go through the same thing, as in the past,
I would still do the same.
Your sister-in-law or whoever she is now...
must have gone abroad.
Why?
Her phone is off.
She probably wants to avoid seeing people after her divorce.
The guest you saw yesterday, when you see him again today,
You greet him with, "Nice to meet you for the first time".
Don't act like you know anything about the guests.
You are not to say anything about a guest's face at the drinking table.
Yes.
Do you know why we don't allow you to use cellphones?
A gisaeng cannot have a love life.
No matter how often the guests come.
Men keep no secrets.
The bigger the secret...
the more they blabber and brag about.
If someone hears that you have a love life..
Then you are finished from here.
Heed my words.
Yes.
Do a good job managing the guests.
So that Sa Ran doesn't get surprised or lose her footing.
Yes.
Let's go.
Song Yi, let's go.
Hae Eun, you're pretty. Let's go.
Please have some of these good foods.
This is such a welcome.
How about the food?
Did you enjoy dinner?
Yes, everything was excellent.
I agree. There are so many delicious foods here today. Thank you.
Thank you, Sir.
Please enjoy the next course.
Of course, we will.
Thank you.
We wish to see some dance
since we have so many precious guests here.
Yes sir. You will get to see a special dance today.
Come here and sit.
Chairman.
This child, since she entered Buyonggak, this is her first time coming into the guest room.
You are the first ones to see this child.
Oh! Is that so.
Yes.
What is your name?
It is Dan Sa Ran.
Dan Sa Ran.
A flower is none other.
Her only talent is dancing.
Please be understanding.
You mean she doesn't pour drinks?
Due to my attire.
What was that dance called?
Choonaeng dance.
Choonaeng dance?
Explain it to the guests.
The name of this dance is Choonaeng-moo.
It means the spring parrot dance.
This dance was made for the Royal Family. So, the style is very elegant and delicate.
Oh really!
It was fantastic.
I have never seen anything more beautiful.
Thank you.
Here,
Dan Sa Ran.
Since he's giving it to you, you take it.
Thank you.
It's your debut, is it?
Yes.
Then,
one more. Here, another one.
Regardless, I need to verify.
Who is it?
Is he living with a girl?
Please allow me to ask you about something.
Doesn't a student by the name of Sohn Ja live here?
Oh, you mean the landlord student?
He lives in the building next to this.
By chance, do you know which building and what unit?
What about your father's name?
I don't know. I inherited my mother's surname.
Let me be frank. I came because I am wondering whether we could be father and son.
Today you are most beautiful, Soon Deok ssi.
I've decided to enter the temple in the countryside and offer myself to the Buddha.
Offering to the Buddha?
You basically abandoned our Ra Ra is what it is.
She just has to meet a nice man and live happily.
You should've been responsible for her till the end.
You should've, at least, marry her off first, before divorcing.
Aigo, why is it so slippery here?
Who are you?!
You should've been more careful.
Not for me. Call Dan Sa Ran for me.
She's getting ready.
I'm Dan Sa Ran.
