New Tales of Gisaeng
Episode 23.
Excuse me student!
Um.
Your name's Sohn Ja?
Yes.
Shall we go somewhere and talk for a short while?
Why?
I knew your mother well, a long time ago.
Your mother's name is Sohn So Young, right?
Yes.
She passed away, a long time ago.
Yes, I heard.
Isn't there a place nearby here where we can talk?
Oh, you must not have had dinner yet.
I don't really have anything to say to you.
Then, listen to what I have to say.
It'll only take 20 or 30 minutes.
What would you like?
Milk.
Milk... and what kind of bread?
Just milk.
You like milk?
I was told I grew big on milk, since mom was busy working.
Um... my name is Geum Kang San. By chance...
You never heard it mentioned by your mother?
Correct.
Are you certain?
Yes.
Then, what is your father's name?
I don't know. I inherited my mother's surname.
Since you're old enough to know everything, I'll speak frankly to you.
I came because I wanted to check
whether we could possibly be father and son.
That's hard to say.
Don't you think we look a little alike?
I'm not sure.
Hearing stuff like this... you don't feel anything?
You mean I should cry?
No, I mean since you didn't think about it before
so you could be startled, or something.
I've gone through all kinds of things in life already.
So something like this is nothing.
What do you think about doing a paternity test?
You mean a DNA test?
I don't want to do it.
Why?
If we did it, and it turns out no, then I think it might leave a distasteful feeling.
I drank it well.
I should get going too.
It seems you've done some research on me.
You were a good student.
Ahjussi, do you like baseball?
Yup, I love watching it.
No, playing it.
I've been too busy to have time to play stuff like that.
Too busy with work and life?
Of course.
Hello?
Yeah.
When?
Okay.
You rented out your home?
Yes.
Which apartment do you live in and with whom?
I moved in with a family I know.
Why would you do that, when you have a home?
Because of loneliness.
Then...goodbye.
Hello?
It's me, Sister-in-law.
Yes. You're back?
How did this come about?
It's as you heard.
I'll come visit you once. I'm curious about how you're living.
Want to?
Do you have (need) kimchi?
How did you think of today?
Due to the director's care, it was not as burdensome as I thought it would be.
We have a jinx in our field.
You have to have a good start, in order to be smooth continuously.
I heard you received extra large tips today, too.
Yes, it shocked me.
Don't forget how you start.
Once you are designated often by the guests and you become popular, you could become arrogant.
And your heart will change, and once your heart changes, your face will change as well.
And when that happens, strangely the guests stop looking for you.
I'll heed to it by heart.
I feel pulled toward that kid.
And he seems to resemble me more than Yeon Sang does.
Do you miss Yeon Sang?
Yeah.
You should go visit him once.
Yeah.
It doesn't smell in here.
Have a seat.
It's liveable, right?
Did you go somewhere and come back?
Hong Kong.
You look better than I imagined.
I'm living simply, without worrying about this and that.
You live without any worries.
But Ra Ra is the only one bursting with hardships.
She says she's going to find a suitable groom-prospect who can play the role of a deputy son.
And live together, tending to grandma and dad.
Sister-in-law, were you this irresponsible?
I have nothing to say no matter what you say.
However.
Ra Ra is an adult now.
And from my standpoint, I did my best for 25 years.
You must understand, since you raised Yeon Sang.
Just how difficult raising a kid really is.
Regardless, this is how it is now.
Everyone needs to get used to it and each live theirs.
He should meet someone suitable, and though it's rather late, he should have his own child as well.
Then, what is Ra Ra?
You live your life.
And once brother-in-law meets a new woman and have a kid together, they will living blissfully as well.
Then, that will make my Ra Ra as the outcast, the loner.
Why would she be the loner? She won't die a spinster. She just needs to meet a good man and live happily.
Regardless. You should've been responsible until the end.
At the very least, divorce after you marry her off first.
If you're so worried, isn't there the repertoire you've been singing all along?
That if we incite you, you would expose everything and take her back with you.
Everything's already been revealed, so why can't you take her with you then?
I said I want to, but she says no!
Marriage with whom?
The kid of a divorced single parent.
Would a proper family want her?
You came to argue with me?
Because I'm so upset! That girl...
She ignores my calls.
And why is she staying there?
To live and tend to her aging father and her aging grandma?
It's not what I expected either.
If Ra Ra were really your daughter.
Would you have signed the divorced papers and left?
Of course I expected she would go to you, and that's why I revealed everything as well.
I thought you would be happy to take her too. So, it would be great for everyone.
I'm so upset... seriously, so upset!
This...
I'm sure you already have everything, but this is a gift from my heart, so please accept it.
Okay. Thank you.
Sa Ran bought something for you too, right, Mother?
Yes. Did she gift you something too?
And she passed out an eyecream to each of the girls as well.
That girl understands duty, and knows how to use her heart.
You didn't instruct her to, right?
Of course not.
She seems to have moved on smoothly.
However?
Ah Da Mo.
I know about men, don't I?
He's not the face of someone who gives up easily.
He made a promise with his own mouth. Would he say otherwise?
That would be a relief.
It's really good to see you again. Me, too.
There's something I'm curious about.
How is it that Korean women's skins are so much like baby skins?
These days, we call it "honey skin."
I see. Honey skin.
If you were to compare mine to something, what would it be?
Yours is very nice.
Okay. Now this time, let's have the same conversation, in English!
Okay. Let's do it.
I have a question. How do Korean girls have such good skin... like almost like baby skin?
It's called that...honey skin.
Ohh...honey skin.
Hello?
It's me.
Oh, you're back.
Yup. When should I make a reservation at Buyonggak?
It's up to your schedule, since you're the busy one.
Next week... Tuesday.
Alright.
Just the two of us?
I'll try to call Min Jae and Seung Ki.
I'm sure they'd want to come whether you ask or not.
Don't forget to designate Dan Sa Ran.
So you got your feelings wrapped around a gisaeng there?
There's a story to it.
You're making me curious.
Nothing to be curious about.
Just act like you don't know.
Excuse me.
I have a wish.
Would you allow me to touch your nose once?
I made a bet with the ahjussi's, you see. I said it's a natural nose.
But my Saeng Gang ahjussi keeps on saying it's a man-made nose.
How much did you bet?
$10.
Make it $20, and give me $10.
Yes.
Money.
Give me.
He's crazy about money.
Did something good happen?
Director Geum.
He's become a complete single now.
Isn't this an opportunity knocking on my door?
Make some broth for cold noodles.
The one you make... mixing young radish with broth.
Yes.
The mother.
Director Geum's mother loves cold noodles with pickled young radish kimchi, you see.
It'll take a few days.
Since I have to buy the young radish first, and pickle them.
Alright.
Did you meet with Director Geum?
Separately... not yet.
Director Geum...
I'm sure he'll agree if I ask him out.
But his mother...
to be frank, it's not as though I've lived an ordinary life either.
From the elderly woman's perspective, there are a few sticky points, understandably.
Hence, the priority is to win the mother's heart.
I see.
The Heavens must have pitied me.
The emptiness between moon and wind. Isn't that a phrase that describes me?
Though I face all kinds of men everyday.
But I've never had a man who really belonged to me.
All I ever did was date someone two or three times.
Yes.
If things go well, what about Buyonggak?
We have Director Lee there.
And, if I tell Inok to close shop on her end and come manage Buyonggak, she would happily jump on it.
There are many others, who are prepared to do so, too.
What?
To make some tea for you.
No, it's okay.
After I go, then it's your turn next.
I will get you paired up, no matter what.
[ Director ]
Why aren't you answering?
It's a spam call.
Gong Joo!
Trim the anchovies.
I'll do it with you.
Hey.
A man shouldn't do this kind of work.
Go and study instead.
It's not like I can study all day.
Who is it?
Me.
Unnie!
Dear.
Sa Ran is here!
Aigo, how are you here? And without calling?
I was told to make a trip home.
Can you sleep overnight?
Just one night tonight.
You should've called us first.
Wait a second.
Gong Joo! Let's hurry and go to the market.
Yeah, yeah.
Let's eat out.
I'll treat.
Come on in.
You've worked hard.
Here, accept a drink from me.
Good.
How do I look?
You look so dashing.
It suits you nicely.
Yeah?
You look like some band master.
Wear it without cherishing it.
Of course.
Actually my wallet was all worn out.
Thank you. I'll use it well.
If you're not fond of this one, you can exchange it, since there's a gift receipt in there.
Oh, why wouldn't I be fond of it.
I love it!
It's me.
Yes.
I called earlier. Why didn't you answer?
And you didn't return my call either.
The kitchen members have all gone home, so I'm here at Buyonggak.
I see.
I was hoping to have dinner with you.
I can't get away at all for the next two, three days.
I understand.
Are you at home?
I came to the hospital because of a few patients.
This.
Go on a backpacking trip.
Another time.
Another time when?
Going this year is perfect for you.
How can I go travel with this money?
How did you earn this money, huh?
There used to be an old saying. Earn money like a dog but spend it like a minister.
Though I'm not saying I earned this like a dog. It's money I earned properly, by dancing.
Having it spent by the family members is a reward to me, so take it.
No.
Why are you so stubborn?
Let's do this then.
When you have the time, go with me.
I won't go, unless we go together.
I can't repay a grace with a grudge.
Thanks to Hwa Ra unnie, I exist today.
Jiyang Products requested for you, Sa Ran.
Do you by chance know of someone from there?
No.
What is the name under?
Heo Du Seok.
Of their development office.
It's the first time I've heard of that name.
You..
Are already becoming acclaimed, it seems.
How nice for you.
Look how dashing my son is.
Is father coming home late?
Yup.
You're having dinner with Eun Kyung, right?
No, a gathering with friends.
Here.
Let's have a look.
This is Buyonggak, right?
Yes, it is.
Min Jae!
Hey!
You're here for Buyonggak, right?
Yes.
There should be a reservation under Heo Du Seok.
Yes.
This way.
Du Seok's already here.
He must have flew here to take an eager look.
You didn't get snagged in Finland?
I didn't go travel around.
My sister, when she went to Finland last year, she got totally snagged.
It really opened her eyes.
The gypsies, right?
Yup, the gypsies.
What's up with you, calling us to meet at a place like this?
It's not a business meeting, so you guys drink up without worries.
That'd be great.
We need to loosen up some stress.
The atompshere is indeed different here.
There's that taste of anticipation you get here.
I went to Kangnam House not long ago.
The women there took their bloomers off and put them on the men.
That must have been fun.
This place isn't like those places.
Oh.
Dan Sa Ran doesn't sit at the table. We can only see her face briefly, I'm told.
Who said that?
Some woman who is said to be the director.
Dan Sa Ran?
Why?
Because she's a dance gisaeng, I'm told.
The party is all present, right?
Yes.
But this friend here seems to be disappointed.
I'm sorry.
Is it... by choice here?
We don't have such systems.
Not for me.
Call Dan Sa Ran here.
She's getting ready.
Just stay seated.
I'm Han Song Yi.
I'm Lee Su Jak.
I'm Song Hae Eun.
I'm Yi Ji Hyang.
How old is our Miss Song Yi?
I'm twenty-two.
It's me.
Among the guests who requested for you, there's Ah Da Mo present.
I said Ah Da Mo is here.
He had the reservation made under someone else's name.
Then, could you prepare the singing band?
I got it.
Show up in my dream.
And tell me where our granddaughter is.
Tell me what she's doing and where.
Or just give me the detailed address or something.
You couldn't forget her and died.
If you arrived in the next world, that should be the first thing you'd go find out, right?
Is Dan Sa Ran pretty?
How do you know her?
Just...
Let's drink.
Here.
I'm getting engaged next month.
Really?
With whom?... Myeongae Art's daughter.
That's great.
How long did you date her?
It's been less than two months, since we officially began to see each other.
Is she pretty?
She's pretty, but...
You guys will find out when you see her, so I'll tell you in advance first.
It's a face that's had some money spent on it.
I'm Dan Sa Ran.
I will sing one song and withdraw from your presence.
Must you really do that?
The moment I first saw you.
My heart...
trembled greatly.
You must have had a premonition.
That I'd fall in love.
Your gestures.
Your smile.
Your kind voice.
What do I do, it feels as though my breathing will halt.
I have fallen for you.
All day long all I think of is you.
Tomorrow as well.
It'll be the same for me.
Stick your hand out and hold me, please.
Accept this love of mine, please.
Let's end it here today.
Please throw this away.

This is the tip Da Mo left to the girls.
But the girls gave it to me, saying he probably left it for you.
It's got quite a lot of zeros.
They said he left first.
While his friends are still playing here.
Please tell them to share it.
Dad!
Get a start for me, on Dr. Oh.
Saying what?
Ask him what he thinks of your daughter.
He probably won't say he dislikes me.
Then tell him to call me and meet me once.
Huh?
Are you drawn to him?
He's not lacking in looks either. So, someone like him is not bad at all.
The most important part is being drawn to him.
Not the terms.
I'll meet him once first.
If I don't develop any pull towards him, I'll fold.
I can see that it's exactly that.
You don't want to have it, but you don't want to waste it on others either.
Are you going down to Busan today?
Yes.
Our resort, the Korean restaurant is pretty good.
But the Western restaurant is a little...
To my standard, it seems to be short by 2%.
I secured a new chef.
He's getting good responses.
But the taste needs to maintain the same for long.
We'll have to make sure it does.
When it comes to rice.
How can it be that we eat it everyday, but we don't get tired of it?
I can't stand it if I go a day without eating rice.
I can't endure it sometimes, when I have to eat Western for all three meals, since breakfast.
A Korean needs to eat rice.
Mother, please try on this clothes once.
At the department store, the very moment I saw it, it occurred to me that it would look so nice on you.
It's a little too flashy for me, I think?
It isn't.
Mother, you are so beautiful, you need to wear something like this. Simple clothes don't suit you.
Do you think so?
How do I look?
You're pretty.
Madame Oh bought it for me.
She got a perfect size for me too.
She sure is doing so much for you.
Yes.
She brought broth for cold noodles that is so good.
I had almost two bowls of cold noodles, for lunch.
Grandma.
Madame Oh...
Maybe she is interested in dad.
To me, that seems to be the case.
Otherwise, why would she do these kind of things?
Are you her mother or relative?
I'm sure that she's just grateful for your dad being her primary doctor for decades.
No, she has an ulterior motive.
I can tell it's exactly that.
What are you going to do?
About what?
If I'm right, I mean.
I've never thought about it.
Don't get tricked into it.
Don't keep taking stuff like this from her. Say no.
How could I do that?
Then ask her point-blank what it is.
Ask her if she's interested in your Dr. Geum.
But what if I did that and she isn't?
If you can't do it, then I will.
Don't you do it. It's disrespectful.
And things can get out of hand for no reason.
Does the student Sohn Ja live here?
Yes.
Is he home right now?
He's not back yet.
Who are you?
Last week...
I met him out in the front and we talked at the bakery.
He'll know who I am, if you tell him that.
Please relate to him that I asked for him to call me.
Your name?
The student Sohn Ja knows.
Yes.
I put it in your care.
Yes.
Who is it?
He didn't look like a detective.
It's possible that...
You said you were curious about my dad, right?
He's your dad?
I'm not certain yet.
But I get a strange vibe.
Tell me the details.
He asked me if I've heard of him from my mom.
And then?
I said no, of course. Since that's the truth.
Now that you mention it.
You do seem to resemble him.
Are you just saying that or are you serious?
Seriously.
You're not going to exercise, honey?
I'm going to rest today.
I'm tired.
You'll get a belly.
How did it feel?
Just...
At first, nothing came to mind.
Maybe you should do a DNA test.
What if we're not?
And what if we are?
You'll have a dad, then.
I've lived until now like this.
What is the point of embracing a dad now?
You resent him a little, don't you?
It seemed like he betrayed my mom.
For mom to live without any contact with him... there must be reason to it.
Even so, you should at least call once.
To Miss Dan Sa Ran, please.
You can hand this to her, can't you?
Wait a second.
This... um.. he said to give it to you.
There's something I want to tell you in person.
Tomorrow from 10 am to 12 noon.
I will wait at the traditional tea house called Nokyomyeop.
I hope you will come.
Or at least call me.
If you can't come tomorrow, then the day after.
And the day after that as well. I will go wait.
Da Mo.
Subtitles by Team Gisaeng @ Viki.com.
Grandma.
If you feel lonesome, call your friends to come over, okay?
Don't worry about me.
If something happens, call me right away.
What more can happen?
I'll be back by four.
Okay.
Jujebe tea.
Yes.
Chief went to the sauna for a short while.
Then I'll converse with Sa Ran while I wait.
Sa Ran went out to tend to some errand nearby.
I see.
I thought I'd get stood up for two hours.
People kept looking so I came out.
Are you thirsty?
No.
Then let's walk a little.
I saw a park nearby.
We met in the middle of Winter.
I didn't know you could sing so well.
You sure are good at doing lots of things.
Please just speak your point.
I like you.
Let's marry.
I lost.
What lost?
Lost to you.
I'll treat it as I didn't hear it.
You didn't hear what?
I said let's get married.
I don't want to.
You don't want to?
Right.
Why?
One should marry the person they love.
You don't love me?
Not at all.
Don't be mad anymore.
I told you, I'm not mad anymore.
If you're not mad anymore you shouldn't have any resentment, so why are you saying you don't want to?
Go back to your home and think about it thoroughly.
Since I have nothing to say.
I don't know.
I'll only know if you tell me!
But you liked me.
That's right.
I liked you, but I don't still like you.
Previously, on April 10th, all the emotions ended on that day.
Just remember that on your 29th birthday, you struck Dan Sa Ran's heart.
I did wrong.
You forgive me. You let it go.
I'll let it go.
I sincerely wish you well, so may you meet a good woman who is suitable to your family.
Don't sneer.
Were you only lied to all your life?
I said I was sincere.
We are not suitable on all accounts.
The right thing to do is for us to go our separate ways.
That's not true.
I had thought so too, but we must go together.
You are the same as rice to me.
I'm going to have to keep you on by side and look at you every day, like rice.
Look at you when I go to sleep too.
And look at you as I open my eyes in the morning too.
And look at you when I wake up from sleeping to go to the bathroom too.
This is how I sincerely feel.
I can't stand it if I don't eat rice.
I have to eat rice at least once a day at the minimum.
I didn't realize the value of rice.
I went and looked for spaghetti, and expensive stuff like lobster and steak.
But those only last once.
What I need is rice.
Regardless how I eat it everyday, a woman I don't get tired of, even though I see her everyday.
That's exactly you, Dan Sa Ran.
It's too...
late.
How is it late? It's not as though I'm engaged to someone else.
You always think only from your perspective, don't you?
If she's passed off, because the families don't match.
The counterpart needs to hurry and move along.
But bidding complete farewell is a bit too empty, so let's just be older brother and younger sister.
Then she needs to hurry and go into sister mode for you.
And then if somehow she is judged passable as wife-material by your generosity.
Then she needs to be grateful and welcoming of such a decision.
The counterpart never really exists.
The counterpart's thoughts.
The counterpart's pains.
The counterpart's plight. You don't ever consider any of that, at all.
Why do you live like that?
What do I need to fix?
Just live the way you are.
And let go of me.
You really don't want me?
I don't.
I said I did wrong.
Let's get married. It's what you want, isn't it?
Fine, play hard to get for a little.
I'll bear with it.
How's your grandma?
She's fine.
But she's still a bit lonesome, I think.
Of course. Why didn't you bring her here?
I wanted to take a look at Sa Ran.
And I have something to say as well.
To me?
Yes.
Okay... what is it?
Excuse me, but...
Speak at ease.
What do you think of my dad?
To be precise?
Do you like him?
Instead of calling it liking.. It's more like respect.
Purely as your doctor in charge?
He's a bit too alluring for just a doctor, to be honest, right?
He is someone of great character as well. Why?
There's something I've requested of my dad, you see.
I said it was fine with me if he wanted to date or see anyone, but to keep it only outside of the home.
Did you?
But your dad has the right to pursue his happiness too, doesn't he?
Dating is blissful enough. Nothing good can come from complicating our family registry.
Soon I will marry too. So, once he has a son-in-law and then, grandchildren, he won't be lonesome at all.
I understand well what you're saying. Don't worry.
I only respect him as my doctor, and I'm grateful.
Why would I bother playing a psychological battle with you?
All I need is to grab ahold of your dad's heart.
It's this room.
Yes.
Omo, Ra Ra.
You got prettier.
What are you talking about?
No, I mean it.
Wear it out.
This outfit doesn't suit it.
Excuse me, since it's a high-price item, we have to verify your identification card.
Yes.
Welcome.
A ring.
This way.
The madame said to prepare lunch so you can just eat by yourselves and be at ease.
Omo, she didn't need to.
Please relate to her we will enjoy it.
Yes.
Enjoy.
There's usually many vegetable dishes. The fiber is good for keeping weight down.
Hmm, delicious.
Eat a lot.
I'm going to eat up everything.
You are the same as rice to me.
Just like the rice that I eat everyday, I'm have to put you next to me to look at everyday.
You heard about my story, right?
You just made that up, right?
It's the truth.
My mom got an apartment and moved out.
Though she's really my aunt.
Are you all right?
Of course. I'm not an orphan.
To be nitpicky about it, I have two sets of parents.
Yes, you're better off than me.
I don't know my roots. Who my parents are.
I plan to meet Oh Jin Ahm. It's alright with you, right?
Who is Oh Jin Ahm?
Of course. I saw him for 2 or 3 hours that day and that was the end of it.
I plan to be sweet to him and pull him into my family to be a live-in son-in-law.
Hello?
Are you back from Buyonggak?
Yes.
Then you should've called. Let's have dinner out today.
Just come to my home instead.
You mean to eat at your place?
Yes, though I don't have anything special.
Yes. What time should I come by?
After you're finished with work.
I'll come by seven.
Yes.
See you later.
Yes.

Can you give me your hand?
I'm proposing marriage to you officially.
What do you see me as?
Rice. I told you I get antsy if I don't eat rice.
That's how I am when I don't see you.
Come inside for a short while.
Oh my God!
Pack your stuff. I'll talk to the boss here nicely.
Listen to what I have to say first.
I'll listen to you after we're outside. Pack up first.
Huh?
I really won't resent you anymore from now on.
I said I had no lingering attachment or any other feelings, but I did have some resentment.
But you've shown me this much of your sincerity, so I will let it go now.
Never mind. Thanks.
I won't leave this place.
Are you going to be so stubborn?
I didn't come in here because I was hurt by your words of breaking up.
I know your family circumstance is harsh.
Leave it all to me now. I will resolve everything.
We are not destined.
Everything just gets crossed.
They say your temperament determines your fate.
I caused you to be like that.
You were right. This is all my fault.
Go abroad somewhere and clear your mind.
I really didn't come in here, on a whim, because of any trauma I felt from breaking up with you.
You needn't say sorry.
Would I set my mind to marry you because I felt sorry?
Is there a dummy of that kind?
A little longer.
For us, the memories are enough.
I'm only saying this now. But, while we dated, I was really very happy.
And I got to know what liking a person feels like.
We just need to go back to how you felt back then.
We have our separate predetermined fates.
I was always born to live this kind of life.
Then what about the fact that we met?
It was because we were fated, that we met at my home, and met again at the ski resort.
Do you think that's common?
Just like last time, at the traditional tea house.
If I get swayed again here, I will really fall into a misfortune.
If you really have regard for me, please don't do this.
I will forget this, that and everything. And, truly remember you from now on as a pretty good man.
I plan to keep within my place with a sound mind from now on.
Once, because of a fond feeling...
no, it was twice that I was swayed by it.
And it caused me so much pain and grief.
I am sorry.
It's fine.
It's beautiful.
I will just acknowledge your heart.
After I've thought about it, I'm the one to blame.
This is my environment, so who am I to blame?
I told you, I thought wrong.
Listen to what I have to say.
A few months
... two or three months. If you go and stay abroad, things will clear for you.
Please think objectively and make your judgment rationally.
If I... last time, instead of breaking up.
If I had proposed marriage, what would you have done?
I would've probably succumb to the pleasant feeling between the opposite sexes.
But we would've probably regretted afterwards. Both of us.
I regret desperately now.
A few times more than you ached was how much I ached and grieved.
They say the one who gets beaten goes to bed soundly, but the one who did the beating can't sleep.
That is a true saying.
It's exactly how I felt.
I'm fine now, so please don't think such thoughts anymore.
I came here because of my plight, my circumstances, not because I was riled up after the breakup.
We need to end like this.
Or else we'd have more to regret about.
And if we don't?
I swear on my name.
I will not hurt you again.
I... won't change.
Do you really think so?
Yes.
I know the man called Ah Da Mo more than you yourself do.
If I yield into you now, you would be happy at first.
But after a while, you'd lose interest again.
And you'd probably spit me out without hesitation like gum that has lost its sweet flavor.
I'm telling you I won't do that, for sure.
I should've learned my lesson clearly then, in front of the hotel the first time.
On the account of a just in case...
At the traditional tea house, you really did seem sincere.
As you seem now.
I am not the one for Ah Da Mo to love.
I am just a toy he wants to have.
You are just antsy now because you didn't get to play it to your heart's fill.
What do I need to do for you to believe me?
This isn't enough (ring)?
Should I sign a contract with my blood?
Will you believe me then?
If you really feel remorseful and regretful,
then look for a new toy.
Other than me.
No matter what happens, I won't sway again.
Even if you bring me one (diamond) the size of a plum instead of a bean, it's still no use.
Because I plan to live like this, as the gisaeng Dan Sa Ran.
And if I tell you I can't stand watching that predicament?
Even if it causes you to become ill and die, I can't do anything about it.
But...
You are not someone who will become ill. And definitely not someone who would die from this.
It's true,
I will only die after I fulfill the entirety of my life.
Go travel two or three months and then come back.
You will surely come to realize this is just a phase.
What wrong did the pin ever do?
The madame went out for a short trip.
Yes.
I'll be leaving a little early.
Yes.
Welcome.
Please make a flower basket for me.
Not too big.
Yes.
Make it very pretty.
Who is it?
It's me.
Why did you buy so many things?
You should wash your hands.
Oh, yes.
Let me help you.
No.
I'll do it.
It could get dropped.
Is it a blue crab soup?
Yes.
It's a total feast.
And the champagne... Let's drink after the meal.
Yes. Please have some.
Though I'm not sure if it will suit your taste.
It suits me perfectly.
Last time at Buyonggak, the food was very impressive.
It's very refreshing.
You can put the shells here.
Yes.
Do you remember the first meal we had together?
It was also blue crab soup back then.
Was it really?
I have no memories of what we ate on that day.
We rushed out of the boat and it was raining.
The Autumn rain was so dreary and cold.
We found a restaurant and went in. They had this blue crab soup, so we ate it.
It's a different feeling now.
The Orchid Room.
Thank you, for inviting me here like this.
I had a dinner that was greatly delicious.
Your image today, Soon Deok ssi.. It's most beautiful.
The reason I asked you to come is because...
I've decided to go into the countryside temple. And offer myself to Buddha.
Offer yourself to Buddha?
Since the only skill I have is cooking.
Why?
It's nonsense.
I plan to make offerings to Buddha,
and live my life praying.
The child, I will surely find her.
I'll make this clear.
I am not suitable for you, Director.
First, I would feel burdened and I don't want to.
You can't understand it?
I can't.
We already talked about things last time.
By chance, did you meet my mother?
Then why?
Please tell me.
Regardless of which countryside temple you go to, I can find you.
Hwa Ran Unnie. What do you think of her?
Chief Oh?
Why?
She's just a patient I treat.
It seems there's been a misunderstanding.
Even if you two are just doctor and patient.
I don't think I can meddle into your relationship.
Meddle in?
Hwa Ran unnie
tells me all her secret thoughts.
Though I have not done so.
Unnie...
keeps you in her heart.
Perhaps you're mistaken.
Because you were Yoocheon Mother's nephew-in-law,
she couldn't show it.
But she has many men around her,
not counting me.
Regardless. It's not just anyone. And I can't.
I don't want to hear that I am an ungrateful animal.
Thanks to unnie, and her mother, I'm able to live like a human being.
What am I to you, Soon Deok ssi?
Am I nothing?
For them helping you for over 20 years,
I will repay that back to them.
And did they feed you and house you for free?
You also worked for that.
And you've put in much effort.
If Unnie finds out, how betrayed she will feel.
Her sense of betrayal is just temporary.
And it's not as though she and I ever dated.
If she really cherish you like her younger sister and wish you well...
Yes, at first she would feel shocked and upset.
She could feel that.
But...
She will come to congratulate you and wish you well.
The Madame Oh I know is such a person.
She is not just an ordinary woman who is petty-hearted.
Do you know how happy I felt, running here today?
What happiness?
We can't even find our child.
But I have faith.
We will certainly find our child.
Madame Oh will find reward in her work and receive the love of many people.
She is a woman who has her own happiness as well.
Let us only think about us.
Did you dress like that,
to push me away?
A monk, I know...
introduced me to temple attire.
How should I describe this?
I actually find you...
ever more refreshing.
Were you able to rest well?
How much did you drink yesterday?
On the heavy side.
Last night must have been hard on you.
A little.
What a little?
He vomited all night.
Don't make up stories. I wasn't so wiped-out as to not remember.
I drank on a happy note, so it wasn't that bad. Why do you say I vomited all night?
Women are just...
Women are just what?
They have a flair of making up stories to suit them.
What other women did you experience, besides me?
What kind of women?
Don't play word games.
I will be out of the house for some time.
Why?
Travel?
No.
Actually there's a friend I'm fond of, but she won't open her heart to me.
A woman?
Yes.
You're saying you're fond of her as marriage-prospect?
Yes.
Why didn't you tell us sooner then?
I'll tell you the details later on.
So please be patient for now, even if you're curious.
That's right. You ought not to blabber before the task is complete.
And that's why your grandma said not to seek fortunetellers.
Once you blabber with your mouth, even when the fortune beckons, it will slip away.
That's true. But what could be wrong with our son that she wouldn't open her heart?
Because she knows me very well. My shortcomings.
What did she say your shortcomings were?
In one word... self-centered.
You should've treated her a little nicer.
So what do you intend to do?
I'll have to make her want to marry me.
Are you saying you'll thrust yourself into the woman's home?
No, not thrusting into the home.
I plan to trail her, except for sleeping times.
It's the only method that will work.
Then you should've put all of yourself into this sooner, instead of wasting time by meeting with others.
I have my pride too, don't I?
I was going to go with a comfortable marriage.
But no one seemed to interest me.
So your shortcoming is that you're self-centered.
What's her asset then?
How mighty is she?
She's smart and wise.
So two or three days then?
It could take as long as a month.
You... sure met your proper match.
Just regard it as I've gone traveling.
Fine.
Then the prospects that are coming in...
do I put a stop to them?
Do a good job. We'll just wait.
Why didn't you bring a diamond ring to her?
Women like diamonds.
I tried to put one on her already.
But she still said no?
Yes.
Did you give her one sized like a red bean?
When you should've given her one that is regular bean?
I gave her one that's sized like a regular bean.
Mr. Chairman, I think you have a call.
Alright.
Who is that? I'm so curious.
Hello?
It's Ah Da Mo.
Yes.
Hello.
Could we meet today?
I have something to tell you, regarding our sister.
Go ahead and speak.
I'm determined to marry your sister.
But your sister just won't hear me out.
Why?
I did something that caused her to be really mad.
Though I didn't actually mean it.
But, starting today, I am determined to carry out a plan to make her change her mind.
If, by chance... your sister mentions to you about me,
can you help me in a clear manner?
But I don't know you well.
I promise you, I won't disappoint you.
I will meet all the responsibilites as your brother-in-law.
All I want is to see my sister happy and well.
I will surely bring her out of Buyonggak.
So don't be heartached, and just wait.
If you would do that, I would be so grateful.
Regard me as your future-brother-in-law.
I will keep my phone off, but please text me if something happens.
I'll check them every now and then.
And if there's something I can help you with, please tell me whatever it is and whenever it is.
Please just bring my sister out.
