New Tales of Gisaeng
It occurs to me that I'd like to date you, but what is your thought on that?
It's not possible, of course.
Why?
Because I'm a gisaeng.
You must already know.
That if I date a customer behind their backs, I will be rolled in a mat and beaten, and chased out of here.
You wish to,
but you don't want to be kicked out...or
Is it the case that you don't want to at all,
so you're thinking this is perfect.
That you have a proper excuse?
How do you truly feel?
I'll give it some thought tonight.
So if I want to hear the answer, I'll have to come back again tomorrow.
I'm a person with not a lot of time.
Episode 29
Why don't you tell some interesting stories?
While the guests talk about things,
we're only to sit here quietly.
Don't you have some fun games to play?
How about the four-syllable-rhyming-game?
The four-syllable-rhyming-game?
Like ahjummeoni, water-mill-wheel?
Where is the restroom?
It is this way.
Manager Bang,
don't you need to go?
I'm okay.
I'm coming.
Didn't I tell you that saying nothing is scoring half-way?
Huh?!
You think you can win the four-syllable-rhyming-game?
I thought you just say four syllables.
See if you dare to be an annoyance again.
This.. is it okay if I take this flower and put it on you?
I suddenly have the desire to see it.
I'm also curious to see how you would look with a flower?
Then, okay.
Here,
take a photo.
Here, give it to me.
If you raise my hair, then it's possible.
A love relationship..
I mean it'll be possible if you raise my hair for me.
There's such a thing here?
It can't be someone who's married.
And I believe you will need to spend a fortune as well.
A public wedding with a gisaeng.
Though not registered legally.
Let's give it some thought.
I will also, tonight.
I can tell.
That he's someone who would do as I ask.
This is how I'm going to end it with Ah Da Mo.
What is your Chinese zodiac sign?
The snake.
When is your birthday?
February 4th on the lunar calendar.
You know how to read (fortune)?
A snake in February... would be near hibernation.
So it has no nutrition left in its belly.
My goodness, that must be why your life is like that, eh?
I guess so.
Tell me about mine.
This year, 60, a rat.
November 22.
With the rat, the time of birth is important.
Two o'clock. A.M.
If it is two o'clock, that is when the rat is still highly active.
He steals food freely then.
You won't need to worry about your fortune of food.
It's right, that is so true.
All my life, I've never been out of money, you see.
Your face is so pretty, and I've never seen such a young guru like you.
What about me?
I'm the sign of the tiger, March 15.
What time?
Four o'clock in the afternoon.
Then it's the Shin hour (3-5 pm on sexagenary).
A tiger is at its best in the summer, when the forest bushes are full.
And like the rat, it should be born in the middle of the night, in order to be able to roam around freely.
If it's March, there isn't anywhere that it can hide itself.
And if it's four o'clock, it's before it gets dark.
Yeah, that's right, it's not too good for roaming, yeah?
That's why you keep ending up in the slammer every three years.
Oh my god, oh my god, I'm dying.
Hey, you can't control your own freaking mouth?
They say the octopus ruins the image of the fish shop.
Are you an octopus? Octopus, octopus?
Da Mo, without you, I feel anxious.
When I stepped out to answer the phone, someone was singing in the next room.
Like a karaoke room, with accompaniment.
Should I call in the band?
Yes, call them in!
I wish to hear hyungnim sing.
You may sing of course.
It's okay, you guys go ahead first.
No, sir, I'd like to hear you as well.
You guys are being pests.
Some ice cream.
Walnut ice cream.
It's late, you should just go home.
It's only nine o'clock, why?
Aren't you tired? You saw patients all day.
I'm not tired.
Because I missed you.
You saw me yesterday.
If I could, I would just live here, starting today, immediately.
Your driver is waiting for you, isn't he?
Yeah.
Then hurry up and go.
After I watch you eat ice cream.
The driver would like to go home, too, after dropping you off.
Alright.
Just one bite.
Is it good?
Yes.
Thank you.
How did you like it, Hyungnim?
It's... whatchamacallit.
They seat pretty gisaengs next to you,
and to only see them with your eyes.
How are they different from some pretty woman in the mirror?
You can't even touch them.
You just get yourself more stressed out.
Yeah it's that...
snap, snap.
My hand just automatically wanted to go there, but I had to hold it back.
I thought I was gonna die.
Out of all of them, who was the prettiest to you?
The director.
Lee...Do...Hwa.
Indeed our hyungnim has a discerning eye.
She's got that air of elegance flowing out of her.
So appealing.
If I could buy the heart of a woman like her,
I'd do anything.
Oh my god.
Until now, you already did all the doable and undoable deeds there is to to in life.
What else is there for you to do?
Is your mind away on business trip right now?!
Huh?
Okay, just a moment.
It's Da Mo.
Hello?
Is it not over yet?
It just ended now.
Any naughty customers?
There weren't any.
How many glasses did you drink?
If you put it all together, it wouldn't even be three glasses.
I'm anxious, because I can't see you in person.
Until when is your mother getting her tests done?
She'll be discharged tomorrow.
Stay with her for a while.
If you come here, she'll come for you again.
I'll stop by tomorrow, even if it's for just a bit.
It isn't going as you thought, is it?
When my father gets home, I am going to explain to him the right way and make a knot.
Hello?
Yes.
And I heard you told your sister that it's over?
Stop making light of things.
I'm tired.
I know, hurry up and wash up and sleep.
Subtitles Provided by Team Gisaeng @Viki.com.
I wonder what that boy, Ja, looks like?
Our lost eldest granddaughter...
where on this earth are you living?
Please DO NOT make hardsubbed video with these subtitles.
I'll be back.
Do you know that child, Sohn Ja's, phone number?
I don't have it stored yet.
Because I'm curious.
Then contact Kang San..
Meet him for lunch.
Since he's still on leave from school, he should have the time.
Do you think so?
The sun is bright from the East again.
The sun is indeed bright from the East.
But the skylarks aren't crying yet.
I think I will have a good day today.
Why?
I dreamed about money coming in.
What dream?
If I tell you, it won't have any effect.
Sa Ran's younger sister
is really pretty, isn't she?
She doesn't look like her sister.
But she's pretty.
You are stealthily becoming a male,
since you're noticing women.
Please get lunch ready.
Yes.
Even if I never say another word for the rest of my life,
I won't let you marry that girl. Never.
If a student named Sohn Ja comes, please direct him to me.
He's already here.
Oh, really?
It's this room.
Sit.
Your name is Sohn Ja?
Yes.
Whether we see the test results or not.
You are indeed our grandson.
How much you must have suffered, without your dad.
My grandma's side-dish shop did well, so I didn't actually suffer much hardship.
I mean your mental/soul hardship..
Give me your hand..
Ohh, you poor thing...
I am your grandmother..
If you had showed up earlier, you could have met your grandfather
That ill-fated old man.
Chief Ma came to drink alone?
Yes.
He called for Sa Ran.
I think he is set to make her an actress.
That's just an excuse.
Perhaps he has some other intention.
Not possible, after how he suffered at Sa Ran's hand?
That could actually be more alluring, to men.
Should I call Sa Ran to come over?
It's fine.
She's a clever girl, so she won't get entangled.
You truly grew up without worrying about money?
I never suffered any hardships of cold or hunger.
Since my mom was a nurse, we had an income.
And up until the year before last, my grandma operated a side-dish shop, herself.
She must have been a good cook, then.
Yes.
Why aren't you eating?
Even if I don't eat, I feel full, seeing you like this.
Eat a lot.
Is it good?
Yes. I like sashimi. I just didn't get to eat a lot of it.
I can buy this for you everyday. Try this abalone.
Yes.
I have to hurry and find our eldest granddaughter too.
Where in Kangbuk do you live?
I don't think you'd heard of it. Saechon-dong.
I know it. I have been there once.
Which apartment?
Moogoong apartments.
I also went there before.
Because my granddaughter's friend lives there.
Did you go to your granddaughter's friend's house?
Our granddaughter..
so actually, she would be your older sister..
Truthfully speaking, our household has some complicated stories, too.
She was born to your dad.
But she grew up in our house.
Which means, she was raised by her uncle.
Her older uncle had no child of his own.
Hence your dad sent his first child, the daughter to him.
Wait... Geum Kang San... Geum Ra Ra.
What?
Perhaps.. is it Ra Ra noona?
It's right.
The house I am staying at right now..
That's right... you've been there before, with Grandpa. Sa Ran noona's place.
Yes.
I'm staying in that house! At Sa Ran noona's!
But how?
If you had been home that day, Grandpa would've seen you.
That's true.
Is Sa Ran good to you?
Yes.
Then, Sa Ran noona was the one who tended to Grandpa's death?
Yes.
Wow, this sure is a small world!
Yes.
This means, you know our Ra Ra?
Yes. Ra Ra noona even bought me a meal.
Wowww, so you're saying she is my older sister?!
But, what if the tests come out negative?
When your father was younger, he looked just like you.
You may not understand it. But, from our perspective, we can tell by just a glance.
Wow... wow, this.. this is incredible.
Wow.
Now, we just need to find one more.
Which picture would you want? If you were to buy one?
That drawing.
You're here.
Yup. The director's in, right?
Yes. It's been a while since you last came.
Yes. You have been well?
Hello Professor!
I've never had a student like you.
Remember that professor's face, just in case he comes to our place..
Yes.
And he's not just an ordinary person, but a professor. And, he goes and looks down on gisaeng?
Isn't that too ignorant?
For sure, it is.
Once your student, then your student forever.
A student may forsake the teacher.
But has anyone ever heard of a teacher forsaking his student?
It's because he was disappointed.
What disappointment?
Do gisaengs beg for rice or food?
How many contracts are accomplished on our account?
If you want to nitpick about it.
We are actually patriots.
It's true, Unnie.
What I don't really understand is the why. If it were me, I would've told the child's father no matter what.
I was told my mom didn't want to marry, but she just wanted to have a child.
How old was your grandma, when she was widowed?
From what I heard, my grandpa passed away when my mom was three years old.
So then she spent her life living with her daughter only.
That'd be the case.
Then that's understandable.
My mom lived her life for me.
How could the daughter then turn her back and marry off, leaving her alone?
I do remember this.
Mom was really good to my grandma.
By chance, do you have your mom's picture?
Yes.
She was a beauty.
Yes.
That's why Yeon Sang's dad fell for her.
Now that we've talked about so many details, I really do think Dad is really my dad.
Mom lived her life for me and my grandma.
She came home straight from the hospital like knife-work.
It's just incredible that Ra Ra noona is my real noona. It's hard to believe.
Me too.
This is all the cash I have with me.
Your first spending money from Granny.
Thank you.
Really?
Yeah.
How could Ra Ra unnie...
I know. You can't believe it either, huh?
What would Ra Ra unnie say when she finds out?
She'd feel some betrayal by her dad, too.
But I think she and you will get along well.
And what wrong did you commit?
You didn't talk about Unnie's birth issue, did you?
Am I crazy, to be talking about big sister?
They are your blood and flesh now.
But don't leak that issue to Ra Ra unnie or your grandma, no matter what.
They would think low of Unnie.
Even if they don't think low of her, they'd pity her.
And that's the same as killing Unnie twice.
Don't worry. Do you think I am so thoughtless?
I didn't even mention about auntie being step-mom. It's one thing if Sa Ran noona wants to tell them.
Chief Ma requested your entire evening.
He must have some reason to speak to you, to be seeing you alone for two days straight.
I will tell you, after I hear what Chief Ma has to say.
He offered to make you an actress, didn't he?
I told him I couldn't, since I have no acting talent.
But what? Did he say he likes you?
He's a player. Don't fall for it.
Director, you have a guest.
Yes.
I came back from meeting our youngest grandchild.
He's Yeon Sang's younger brother for sure.
His face, for certain. But, even his actions are just like his father, too.
Yeon Sang's dad, before he married, he was a good chatterbox with me.
To be honest, our eldest son,
he gives us the dependable feeling. But, he's not much of a talker and he's not too affectionate either.
And that rascal, Ja,
His name is Ja, single syllable.
That rascal, Ja,
Like his father, he's so easy to talk to.
He's so lovable, in many ways.
When it gets revealed,
Yeon Sang's mom is sure to have a big fit.
I'm going to take care of him, in Ra Ra's place.
I'll buy today.
Well, if you wish.
Did you save up some money?
I don't know. My mom manages the accounts.
You aren't a mama's boy, are you?
Of course not.
As soon as we marry, I'll have my accounts turn over to you, right away.
This Saturday, my uncle's family wants us over for dinner.
I know him. I saw him at the hospital.
But where are we going to live?
My mom said that there isn't any need for us to live there with her.
She says that it would be nice to live together with her dear daughter-in-law,
but, she doesn't want it to be hard for you. So, she said not to feel pressured to.
Then we can start house hunting.
My dad said to look into an apt around 30 pyong (~1100 sqft).
Really?
Actually my side should be preparing our housing.
But the land we put up for sale isn't selling.
You're not dancing today?
I just have one customer who's requested for me.
Who?
Hurry up and get ready.
Samil Association.
They're about to arrive.
Oppa..
Do you know of Buyonggak?
I've heard of it.
What if
because of various reasons, I had to enter there.
What would you do?
What?
Would you give up on me and wish me luck as a gisaeng?
If not, would you do whatever it takes to convince me to quit and
continue with plans to marry me?
That's a needless question to ask and a needless answer to answer.
Why bother asking something that would never happen?
You never know.
Someone I know,
entered there.
Think about it once.
If I really joined there.
Seeing that you can't give me an answer immediately,
Give up?
As soon as you entered, I'd drag you out.
What if my family went bankrupt and I became a gisaeng?
Look here, miss.
They say that what you say can become a seed.
Don't say those kinds of things, even as a joke.
Did you think about it?
Let's just
get married.
Let's wed.
Why?
You don't want to?
Do you think the asset you'd have to spend is a waste?
Would I try to spare that amount of expenditure?
Getting married could actually be more expensive.
I just thought I'd like to try living like others do.
Saying, honey, dear and such.
I don't want it because I think it'd become an obsession.
Does this mean that you can't think of loving me?
Not yet.
Someone you're not even fond of...
What's the reason you'd ask him to raise your hair?
Because I want to act like a proper gisaeng.
Being here long could lead to encountering all kinds of temptations here and there.
If the hair is raised, then everything would be taken care of.
Who would bother... making the tease?
You must not know men yet.
Then, married women never stray?
Ever heard of a goal that still goes in even if there's a goalkeeper?
In any case, not marriage though.
You'd feel burdened being tied down to one women too, Chief Ma, wouldn't you?
It would be a burden.. in the past...
but to Dan Sa Ran..
I wish to feel what it is like to be tied down to you.
First, let's do what I suggested...
then, if we end up loving each other sincerely..
Then I will fold on this life here, and be home for good.
Is this line of work...
so meaningful and great to you?
There are fates that you cannot avoid.
To me, my profession being a gisaeng seems to be just that.
The more I try to refuse,
the more it seems as though a bigger misfortune will come to me.
You are more faint at heart than I thought.
I thought you were fearless.
If you don't feel inclined to it, please just be honest.
Why me of all people?
We didn't start off that well either.
Because I have a lot of money and a lot of knack.
So I'd agree easily?
Because you seem like someone with a big plate.
That's the feeling I got.
Right now, that's the one thing.
I will tell Madame Oh, and have the process started.
This doesn't look like a happy face.
Because more than happiness, my thankfulness is greater.
We may encounter some difficulties.
There is a naive man, who doesn't know the world,
who is pestering me saying he likes me.
With a beauty like yours and a talent like yours,
to have no man desiring and coveting you would actually be more strange.
I'm not a petty-hearted man,
who'd toil around with a gisaeng's past.
Don't get the wrong idea.
He's not someone I have a past with.
On his own he liked me,
then on his own he grew tired of me,
And now again, on his own he is clinging to me.
He's not in his right mind, is he?
Although I will be preparing everything..
As a wedding gift from you,
I'd like to make one request.
Please say.
Jealousy..
Don't just think of me as some ill-bred dog
who does whatever deed in whatever place, while you're not concerned at all.
If you hear about me drinking alcohol with some pretty woman,
At least scratch the bowl (nag) I mean.
Be the one scratched (nagged), and don't scratch (nag).
Daehan Newspaper's chief Yoon is here.
He's asking whether Chief Ma visits here lately.
Who did he come with?
A few junior reporters.
Then probably folks I know.
I'll take my leave then.
Chairman Sohn is here.
I'll come by tomorrow during the day.
Anyway,
this is similar to being wedded.
I'm not so sure I should really skip the proposal.
You put a flower in my hair yesterday.
Yes, Chief Yoon, it's me, Ma Yi Joon.
What, just a 30 pyong apartment?
Mm-hmm.
That's it?
In any case, that estate is all going to go to Ra Ra later anyway.
How do you know about later?
These days it's a trend to donate the entire asset to charity, even if they have children.
I even offered to make my mighty son go in there as a deputy son.
Though I only said it as a lip-service, of course.
But if her future mother-in-law treated her so nicely,
shouldn't they buy at least a 50 pyong (~1800 sqft) sized apartment as the proper respect?
What the heck is 30 pyong (~1100), huh? Embarrassing.
It isn't up to Ra Ra.
She could just push for it.
Imagine if her mother was actually around.
She's such a kid and so naive, that she just soaks up whatever she's told.
She can't read between the lines.
So it means that Ra Ra even bought dinner for Sohn Ja.
I don't think you have to worry about Ra Ra.
If so, that would be good.
- Oh, you came? - Which room did Sa Ran go into?
She retired early today.
Dan Sa Ran!
Sa Ran!
Are you already sleeping?
Are you sick or something?
Could you check on Sa Ran for me?
Da Mo is wondering if you're sleeping.
Tell him that I'm sleeping.
She's asleep.
Is she sick?
No.
Okay.
Tell her that I stopped by. And to call me.
Okay.
Did Sa Ran drink a lot today?
I think she barely drank anything.
You're leaving?
What took you so long to answer?
You still can't talk?
Putting on an act.
Where's Andre? Put him on.
Andre.
It's daddy.
Andre.
Da Mo came by here a little while ago.
I found a way, so I think you just need to hold him at home for two or three more days.
I didn't know he went out.
Thank you.
If he leaves, you should bark, Andre.
I just went out for some air.
I stopped by Buyonggak.
Sa Ran noona is there beautifully and well.
One of my friends entered Buyonggak.
It's probably her.
I got the feeling we would meet again.
Text me as soon as you get the results.
Mm-hmm.
I'm nervous right now.
Are you going somewhere this early?
Yeah, to see Ra Ra.
What did Chief Ma say to you in putting a move on you?
I was the one who put a move on him.
I asked him to raise my hair.
What?
So how did he respond?
That he understood.
Hello?
It's me.
Please go on.
Can you meet me for lunch?
I have something to discuss with you.
If you wish to see me, then of course I should go.
There's a restaurant in the bottom floor of the Gwanha, right? Dreaming.
Is twelve o'clock okay?
Yes.
Please come out with the director if you'd like.
Alright.
I'll see you later.
Yes.
Chief Ma asked us to come out for lunch.
And for you to come, too.
Sa Ran
decided to raise her hair.
By Chief Ma?
Yes.
Sa Ran said so?
Yes.
That's probably what he wants to discuss.
Yes?
Mother says to come to her room.
I heard that Chief Ma is going to raise your hair.
Yes.
And what about Ah Da Mo?
Because there isn't any other way.
Do you know what getting your hair raised means?
It means living with a man.
In one house, beneath one blanket.
Then,
What about Chief Ma?
Because of Ah Da Mo, must he be used?
Even though it started like that,
I'm going to try my best going forward.
I think I can do it.
Ah Da Mo is going to throw a fit.
When he finds out, Chief Ma might change his mind.
I told him the gist of it.
And he still says okay?
Mom.
If I force myself to marry just based on terms.
Every day will be miserable and I can get a disease.
How common is cancer these days?
Stress leads to cancer.
If I caught a bad disease, would you and father not go to a church a pray?
If you just save my son, I'll be thankful for anything.
Not just a gisaeng, but even some crazy woman wandering the streets with a flower in her hair.
If it would save your son,
that you would accept her as your daughter-in-law.
I tried and tried to give her up.
But it just wouldn't work.
So I made the decision to get ahold of her.
Mom, please change your mind.
There's no other way.
If it were me, I'd be more comfortable going around with my friends.
They're all busy.
Plus I need to go around with someone elderly in order to do it right.
People my age don't have the discerning eye for the good anyway.
If I were just ten years younger, I'd go with you.
If you asked your mother to go with you, she'd leap for joy.
Which mother?
The mother who gave birth to you.
If it were you,
And you thought it was your aunt your whole life.
Could you accept her as your mother overnight?
Even so, you could just put some effort into it.
Why?
What is so good about it?
She carried you for ten months and gave birth to you.
Did I ask to be born into this wretched world?
They made me because they wanted to.
It wasn't for my sake.
Tell her to stop the flattery.
What mother gives up her child?
I'm here.
Oh.
Your semester is finished, right?
Yes.
Are you going out?
For wedding stuff.
I came because of that anyway.
I told you there was no need to.
Does it make any sense that you're getting the wedding presents for the in-law's with the mother-in-law?
Han Soon Deok who will be entering here agreed to help her.
I'll be right out.
Okay.
Ra Ra.
Am I no better than a stranger?
Please think about it from my perspective.
Who does she take after that she is such a brat?
I wonder if the results are out about now?
Please have a look.
As it states there, it is definitive that you are both related.
It is 99.9 percent match.
In order to confirm your paternity relations,
we tested a total of fifteen different DNA's.
When you look at it, the parts in blue,
is where the DNA strand is the same in both.
Thank you.
What did I tell you?
Didn't I tell you this was unnecessary?
Look here.
What?
Okay.
Here.
Cheese.
How did it turn out?
He is my son, of course.
99.9% sure.
It is, right?
I suppose because I had to send one child to hyung, I was given another one.
It's two sons and one daughter now.
When are you going to tell Yeon Saeng's mother.
I'll have to today, of course.
That way I can bring Ja in.
There is going to be a ruckus.
Do we tell Ra Ra?
Is this goose feather?
And it's washable?
You decided to raise Sa Ran's hair?
Yes.
Did you really make up your mind about it because you felt inclined to?
Or was it because your pride couldn't refuse?
So you forced yourself to do it barely?
Who do you think I am?
To okay something like that by force?
She's smart and alluring.
Raising a gisaeng's hair doesn't only cost a small amount of money.
Please go on.
First, you will have to get a house for her, under Sa Ran's name.
Yes.
And the expenditure toward Buyonggak.
And the wedding expenditure as well.
It's a very large amount.
Well that much,
I'm already anticipating.
And what about Dan Sa Ran's parents? Should I prepare a separate amount for them?
Since it's a gisaeng wedding, we are the bride's parents.
So actually not sending anything to them is the etiquette.
I see.
And you will have to be responsible for her entire life.
For as long as you're capable to do so.
Alright.
Actually, I want to marry her altogether.
But Dan Sa Ran just wants her hair raised.
Saying she believes she's fated to live as a gisaeng.
Do you believe in fate?
It is case by case..
Don't worry about the expenses.
Just prepare everything properly.
Wasn't this decided too easily?
What if you regret it later?
Even when I buy a house.
I decide in a matter of two or three minutes.
And I've never regretted it once.
I've bought about eight houses up until now.
You are fond of Sa Ran to that degree?
She has a way of putting people to a proper level of tension.
Without it becoming tiresome.
And on top of that... she has a deep heart.
Oh,
she mentioned a guy who liked her and was chasing her around.
Which guy is it?
If I told you his name, it is a household that you would recognize.
His family has money,
but he must be a playboy.
Can I tell you truthfully?
Yes.
To Sa Ran, apart from family background,
he is befitting of her.
Really?
Sounds as if a decent guy is hanging onto her,
I'm curious as to why she is refusing him?
Because Sa Ran is wise.
The weather is sweltering, ready for monsoon.
Aren't you going horseback riding?
Starting tomorrow.
Me, too.
Please sit down for a moment.
I have something to reveal to you.
Did you do well on an exam?
Are you getting a scholarship?
Did you buy some yummy groceries?
Did your sister say she was coming?
No.
We should prepare some good food for Sohn Ja.
He's going to be leaving our house.
Wait,
He's going back to his house?
He's renting it out, how can he move back in?
Sohn Ja found his father.
His father, his grandmother, older sister, uncle and all.
How so?
Did someone come looking for him?
Yeah, his father did.
Oh my gosh!
Before, I had heard that he was a doctor in the same hospital.
Is he really a doctor?
Yeah.
But why did he just appear now?
Because he didn't know.
You told me that.
He knew and that's why he came looking.
It isn't that.
Sohn Ja...
Wow, how great for Sohn Ja!
But the real shocker is this.
You see, do you know who his older sister is?
None other than Ra Ra.
That granddaughter of that grandpa who bought beef and came to our house?
Yeah.
You're kidding, aren't you?
Is this something to kid about?
Then, what you're saying is,
That grandmother and grandfather that came to our house
is his paternal grandmother and grandfather?
Yes.
Oh, my god!!
How in the world could this happen?
How long does it take to prepare a ceremony?
If possible I would like to do it as fast as the preparations can be done.
What's the big rush?
Since I have a heckler, right?
Sa Ran is not inclined to him at all.
Starting tomorrow,
I want to date her properly.
Until you've had your first night together, you can't date her.
But, you can come and see her here.
I will need to get her ring picked out before the hair is raised though.
There are many things to buy.
The talk is just to raise her hair, not to marry her.
And there will be no rings.
Even rings?
If you two want to get some couple rings for their significance, that's fine.
They are not allowed to be worn in the customers' rooms.
Chief Ma..
just to inform you..
it is not being a husband..
Whether she might be drinking alcohol affectionately with someone...
Whether she might be drinking a lot...
If you will end up worrying and interfering, then it's best you stop here right here and now.
That's best for both.
Yes, yes, I understood.
It sure is hard to marry a gisaeng.
But in exchange you will be so free too.
Just watch.
I'll have her end up marrying me for good within three years time.
Starting today, until your ceremony is done, don't be entering the guests' rooms.
And after your hair is raised, it's up to you.
Just like in the normal society, one is only considered a true adult after marriage,
a gisaeng who has had her hair raised won't be told to do this and do that.
I think you've chosen a good person.
Chief Ma is not only single and rich,
but he's also someone who's succeeded in society.
And above all, he is magnanimous like a true man.
Though that is also what has made him date a lot, as well.
He does not only fancy you as a woman.
It appears to me he trusts you and likes you as a person as well.
He guaranteed he would have you marrying him for good within three years of time.
Please carry out the preparations as fast as possible.
The most urgent is the attire, of course.
Find out if Director Kim can come by here.
But we have the garment passed down from before.
But we need to make a new one, since it's old.
It's obvious Ah Da Mo will have a major fit.
Are you prepared for it?
I need your help, of course.
When are you going to let him know?
Because of my appearance, it's embarrassing to be out with me, isn't it?
What about it?
Don't worry about such things.
Doesn't your leg ache?
Because we walked so much today.
Since I've been trained in the kitchen,
my stamina is on the strong side.
Strangely,
I'm very much at ease.
With me?
Yes.
Like I've known you for a long time.
Thank you.
Please have some, it's good.
Okay.
Your friend who entered Buyonggak,
That day you first came, wasn't her hair tied back?
Mmm...it probably was.
Did you see her?
Mm-hmm.
In the separate building's inner deck.
The feeling that I'd meet her again,
She felt different.
And it ended up being,
that she was going to be part of our Buyonggak family.
You've completely quit Buyonggak, right?
Congratulations!
Chief Ma is truly a very very good man.
The one flaw..
actually it's two.
He's got a pretty big age gap with you,
and also there were lots of scandals with him.
Though the age.. these days, one shot and it's ten years younger.
The scandals, they are just how you view them.
But about Da Mo,
What are you going to do?
Midas Chief?
Mm-hmm.
He is going to raise Sa Ran's hair.
Huge news!
Sa Ran..Midas Chief is going to raise her hair!
Really?
Oh!
Says who?
In the kitchen, the manager and Sa Ran were talking.
Oh my gosh!
Even Chief Ma's fallen for Sa Ran too?
Wow, her skills are good. I'm jealous.
How old is Chief Ma, to be exact?
Forty-four, isn't he?
Is it true?
Yes.
He's going to buy you a house and everything?
I don't know about those matters.
Your skills are really good.
Let's hear about your secret tactic.
Will it be alright if I eat the grand dish today?
Mm-hmm.
I was upset because of that brat Ra Ra,
But now I feel a bit eased.
The grand prince dish, two orders of the shark fins.
I'm going to eat the snapper salad.
Oh.
One grand prince, and one snapper salad.
Yes.
And the master's cheongju (clear rice wine). Small one.
200 mL?
Yes.
One of these days, I'd like to try the Sujeong wine.
It's too strong.
Oh my goodness.
What?
Hyungnim!
Oh.
Have you come to eat dinner?
Yes.
This is Ra Ra's aunt and uncle.
Lawyer, Kim Jang Shin.
Hello.
We have a room reserved.
Ah, I see.
Until we meet again.
Yes.
What does he do?
A doctor.
Both brothers are doctors.
Mm-hmm.
For sure, they knew each other before she was married.
Father-in-law didn't know her true colors.
And simply loved everything about her.
Why?
I'm going to let Ra Ra know.
No, wait,
I should tell her to come here.
Come on now.
Act your age.
Yes.
Time to eat.
Yes.
I'll be right back.
You could end up killing him, so don't hit his head.
I understand.
Pack your things within twenty minutes and disappear from my sight.
If you're so much as a minute late, just know that I'll pound you.
In any case, this means that you're not objecting, right Mom?
Finally, there's a glimmer of hope, Sa Ran.
Mother has halfway granted her permission.
