New Tales of Gisaeng
Episode 31.
Thank you... Noona. Noona.
We're here.
Don't say anything to Da Mo hyung no matter what.
Of course not.
Am I that thoughtless?
What happened?
She drank a little bit of alcohol and she's a bit drunk.
She only drank a little bit, but she blacks out like that?!
Aigeuk! Aigoo!
It's because she has a weak tolerance.
If she's got a weak tolerance, then she shouldn't drink.
Aigo, aigo, my pillars.
You're here.
Yes.
Aigo, I'm so tired today.
I'm pretty tired too today.
Sa Ran ssi.. did she have some unpleasant incident with the guests?
What unpleasant incident?
Since Head Madame told her to rest for a while.
So I was wondering if she did something wrong.
No such thing, of course.
Aigo, what do we do?
Miss Dan... did you see her?
Yes.
Did she seem happy to see you?
I only saw her briefly.
What kind of parents are they?
To agree to their daughter getting her hair raised by an old man?
Though I have no right to say anything.
Since I even lost my child.
Drink.
See if you ever dare to come home like that again.
I'll shave your head.
How did I come home last night?
Carried on Sohn Ja's back.
Really?
Great job you do.
Sorry.
I heard I was a nuisance on you yesterday.
What nuisance?
Did I really pass out yesterday?
Yup.
Is your lower back okay?
I can carry two of you.
You feel okay?
Yup. I only drank four glasses anyway. I got great sleep and I feel so refreshed.
I'll bring this into the room.
My room?
Yes.
Leave it here, so everyone can see it.
The fragrance is really nice.
Does my room smell?
No.
It's just that they say it's good to breathe in the flower fragrance and it helps relieve stress.
Ra Ra must have gone out, seeing that her car is not here.
She went to see a friend.
You can come to my wedding, right?
Of course I should come.
Should I get Da Mo oppa to carry the Hahm*? [ *Hahm = wedding gift chest ]
The Hahm-carrier is supposed to be decided by someone married.
Oh, is that the case?
What do you want as beverage?
The issue isn't the beverage right now.
You have some other good news?
If I told you that Sohn Ja...
is real younger brother, would you believe it?
What, no way.
Really?
Oh my goodness.
What time will the chairman arrive tomorrow?
At 1:00.
Please tell me what I should get for groceries.
That's so great for Sohn Ja.
It's good for you too, right?
The more the family members, the better.
No wonder when I first saw him,
I found him to be strangely cute and I was pulled toward him.
And you were drunk too that day.
Yup.
Then your mom probably knows too?
Oh my, we had a bout of commotion.
Sohn Ja can't receive any more wounds.
With his grandma passing away too, he was so traumatized.
I'll look after him well.
We're having him move into our home first.
Where is this cake from?
It's so delicious.
Kang-nam Hotel.
I suppose Da Mo oppa bought it?
Yes.
You should stop dragging it out now.
Just act like can't beat him and do as he says.
And regard it as your blessing.
I'm getting my hair raised.
It's better like this. You'd look older.
No.
I mean Hwacho (flower) hair.
Don't tell my family yet.
Then...
You mean with some man?
Yeah.
Da Mo oppa?
No.
Different guy.
You must be joking.
Like you said,
I just want to end things fast.
With whom.
An ahjussi?
Is it?
Someone whose name you would have heard of.
Not some married man, is it?
Of course not.
How old?
I'll tell you the specifics later on.
Does Da Mo oppa know too?
Not yet.
He went for a cut.
Da Mo oppa came back.
Yes.
Hold on, please.
Unnie.
Hello?
We should let Ah Da Mo know today.
Yes.
I think it's better if I tell him.
Yes.
Call Ah Da Mo to come.
I'm against it.
It's one thing if you stay here and meet someone decent and get married,
but what raising hair?
Try thinking about it from my standpoint.
If I were you, I would grab onto Da Mo oppa.
We started on a bad footing.
A lot of couples start from love, but end up fighting.
And a lot of couples like each other, but end up loathing each other.
Your mother left with such a broken-heart that day.
She's fine now.
Sa Ran
has made the decision to have her hair raised.
What hair raised?
I'm saying a man who wants to raise Sa Ran's hair has come forward.
You don't know what raising the hair of a gisaeng means?
Please sit.
Hear me out first.
Whose idea was it?
Sa Ran's.
With whom?
I'm sure you will find out regardless.
Sa Ran made the suggestion to CEO Ma Yi Joon first.
That girl's gone nuts!
I asked her several times if she might end up regretting,
but she's adamant.
Is it all true?
I heard from Head Madame.
Yes.
Look at me.
Didn't I tell you my mother has half-approved?
- Once my father's back... - For me, the man named Ah Da Mo
is not as comfortable or burden-free as CEO Ma Yi Joon.
And I trust him more.
This is not something that's for my sake!
Whose sake do I worry about?
I've decided to think for myself only, from now on.
Do I look like I can afford to do something for someone else's sake?
I said I chose him.
What's good about that hoodlum?
He's a hoodlum?
Wealth? I have that kind of wealth too.
You inherited it.
Did you earn it by working?
Did I only play all this time?
After I marry, if I just put all my effort into work,
I can earn more than ten folds by his age.
How old is he?
Forty-four.
I can't even imagine it.
This isn't it.
You're not in your right mind.
And you're in your right mind?
Yeah!
I'm crazy because of love!
I'm crazy because of love. But why are you crazy?
He's more alluring than he appears.
That old punk?
THAT OLD PUNK?!!!
Who doesn't get old?
He was merely born a little sooner than me.
But for having lived life longer, he's magnanimous and understanding, and broad-minded.
I'm fond of those aspects and drawn to them.
Sa Ran!
I'm floored. Seriously.
Think about all those acts you did to me.
How many times did you back-stab and betray me?
The first time was a mistake, and back-stabbing was only once.
You say you love me?...
Yes!
Let go of me, then.
I won't let go of you!
A real love should be what's best for the other person.
It's not about fulfilling your own desires.
Fine! I can't because I still love you.
I only think about me,
and I still need you!
It's all been decided already.
The matter is already done.
That hoodlum...
if I meet him, he'll probably give up at once.
CEO Ma is curious about you too.
I already told him about you.
Don't do something you'd regret.
You've put me through enough suffering.
It's not enough?
Can a person be perfect?
I acknowledge that I was lacking and I was a fool.
I said I would not make mistakes again, didn't I?
I said I would be good to you.
Because I don't want to receive more wounds again.
I don't want to forget fate
and cross it again.
That fucking fate.
I'm your fate! I am!
Embrace me as your fate!
Don't make such a light compromise with life.
I am merely being ungreedy about vain desires.
I'm not making an easy compromise.
You are twenty-five years old!
The mate who suits you perfectly is the twenty-nine-year-old me!
Is it the one who is about to turn fifty?
That old player?
People think of him as pathetic.
All those reports about him are more than a sight!
Actresses, models... more than you can count on ten fingers.
You're drawn to a hoodlum like him, you say?
He has his own pains and wounds too.
Is there anyone in this world who has no pains or wounds?
Me too!
I told you!
April 11th. Your birthday.
Actually on that day,
before you met me,
you were supposed to have met with your grandma. But, that was cancelled, right?
Yeah.
She told me to be there on that day too.
Your grandmother said she would position our meeting naturally and that I should date you.
She did?
She said she was fond of me as a prospect for her granddaughter-in-law.
That she wasn't just making a light suggestion.
Why are you waiting till now to tell me this?
You should have told me right away on that day.
And if I did?
Then, we would've done as Grandma said to do.
And since Grandma approved, my father and my mother wouldn't have objected either.
So why are you telling me this only now?
She passed away.
What meaning is there to that?
It means the heavens are telling us not to be knotted together.
Grandma pushed the meeting to some other time because of a sudden guest.
But since I had already made a cake for you, I was going home quite disappointed when you called.
I was so happy that I ran to you in a frenzy.
That's when you told me you didn't sincerely really like me.
I don't even want to think about what happened that day.
In conclusion,
if we were fated to be together, your grandmother wouldn't have passed away that day.
We would've dated smoothly like Grandma wanted
and by now, we might be preparing to get married.
But the heavens are blocking it.
The first mistake should have been enough.
The day I went with you to eat in the outskirts,
I should've sucked it up that day and ended it.
I should not have fallen back into it.
It was my greed.
I think it was my greed.
I fell into it because I was greedy and today is the result.
But still.
Don't get your hair raised. Just be a gisaeng.
Oppa, you give up instead and let go of Sa Ran.
Then, you won't get your hair raised, right?
I didn't step into this place out of boredom.
I will get my hair raised and live as a proper gisaeng.
Omo.
You're going to sell yourself to that old punk of a hoodlum?
That old punk?!
He has an innocent soul.
Did you two pile up a great wall together already (physically and emotionally intimate)?
Da Mo ssi!
Does this make any sense?
This young girl...
with that human being who's been through hell and highwater already?
I won't send you to him.
Even if the sun splits in two.
This is the limit to the trials I can take.
If I fall into it again?
It will either be an objection by your family that ends up hurting me.
And even if we end up marrying, somehow,
in the end, I will be abandoned again.
I am keep my place, no matter what!
You really can't trust me that much?
You didn't do anything for me to trust you.
Fine. It's fine if it's not going to be me. Just not that human being!
He has never treated me with any pretense.
He doesn't deceive or play with people like some young guy does.
What's the use of being young?
When you're more frayed then some old person.
As you said you loved her, you moved us too. So, we gave you the opportunity.
Da Mo, we know you did your best to Sa Ran.
But this is what Sa Ran has chosen.
What can you do? She herself says no to you.
Please accept it and leave Buyonggak.
If you continue to ask for the impossible and make things hard on her,
then, that is not love. It is just greed and obsession.

He looks completely stupified.
Yes?
Someone named Ah Da Mo says he wants to talk to you, Mr. CEO.
Regarding the matter of Miss Dan Sa Ran.
Text me the number.
Yes.
The phone.
Hello?
It's Ma Yi Joon.
This is Ah Da Mo.
Yes.
I heard about it from Dan Sa Ran. Can we meet?
Why?!
Because there are a few points you should know.
I don't think I will have any time to meet you somewhere outside.
Come to our company, then. I'm on my way in.
Yes.
He smashed the tray-table asking if she's piled up a great wall already.
It was such a commotion.
And Sa Ran wasn't crying?
She wasn't crying. She held it in.
Oh my. She's extreme.
He told Sa Ran unnie he was her fate, to embrace him as her fate.
If only I could ever receive that kind of love, just once, too.
You don't have a business card?
No.
Do you know Sa Ran well?
Let's start with self-introductions.
I've told you my name.
As for occupation, I don't have one yet.
Next year, I will be thirty.
I don't think it's proper of you to use impolite speech with me at our first meeting.
Is this our first meeting?
I think I have seen you at Buyonggak.
Yes.
Because of Sa Ran, I worked there for awhile.
Do you love Sa Ran?
What about the Ah-Goon* who is asking that? [ *Goon = a young mister added to name ] [ But Ah-Goon is homophone for "ally"]
Oh, calling you Ah-Goon is a bit strange. [ *Goon = a young mister added to name ] [ But Ah-Goon is homophone for "ally"]
Da Mo-Goon? [ *Goon = a young mister added to name ] [ But Ah-Goon is homophone for "ally"]
It is because I love her, that I entered Buyonggak to work there.
And?
You haven't known Sa Ran for long.
So, I would like you to withdraw your intention to raise her hair.
Is quantity more important than quality to you?
To me, quality is more important than quantity.
Sa Ran's first love is me.
And Da Mo-Goon's first love?
Sa Ran is mine too.
Do you even know what love is?
It seems people are so fond of their first loves.
But actually, first love isn't even love.
It's just enamor. Like infatuation.
But an infatuation isn't incurable. It cures.
I heard Sa Ran asked you to raise her hair for her.
Yes.
What were your reasons for agreeing?
It's not as though you two dated
and you haven't known each other for long either.
She's cute, isn't she?
Please change your mind, for the sake of her and my future together.
You accepted her offer, simply because you find her cute, Mr. CEO.
But, for me, it has to be Dan Sa Ran and no one else.
You should be telling that to Dan Sa Ran.
Why are you telling that to me?
The problem between the two of you should be resolved by the two of you.
She's doing this out of spite, because she's angry at me.
If she's angry at you, then go and soothe it.
Go and undo it.
If you get it undone,
then she will probably ask me to cancel it.
And if Dan Sa Ran does that, I will just say fine and do so.
So we're done then, right?
Mr. CEO...
Please help me.
This is what I can say to you as someone who's lived life longer than you.
You should go and date a lot more.
And when you really find that person with whom you want to live with, in the same house, under the same blanket,
then, the wise thing to do is to marry her.
The world is wide with lots of things to do.
And the world is wide with women plentiful like sand particles.
Right now, you may think you really want that woman.
But, after a year or two.
Perhaps not even a year.
After you date for a few months,
you will surely encounter someone who attracts you more and with whom you can better converse.
Love isn't about just liking immensely right now.
But, even if you have parted and time has passed,
the increasing longing and ardent feeling,
that is what is love.
Have you ever met someone like that?
Two of them.
Being enamored of someone
is like being soap bubbles.
They may be big, but when they pop, it's the end... After you break up, there's no lingering attachment either.
A relief that doesn't grind your teeth.
Love is like soybean paste, as I've come to realize.
The soybean block aptly ripening with sunshine, air and salt,
thus, producing the deep flavor, right?
Soybeans that ferment properly are so beneficial to our bodies.
Love is the same. It does not impoverish the soul.
Instead, in life, like sunshine in the Spring,
it soothes our soul every now and then, should I say?
When you feel beaten or lonely, you bring that love out every now and then and seek comfort from it.
Upon meeting Sa Ran, my soul received an upgrade.
Thank you for your words.
With no relation to her age...
She has that quality about her that touches people.
She is young, but she has a genuine calm to her.
And her soul is deep too.
Someone with a shallow soul
do not recognize when a deep soul enters their life.
They come to be pierced by it after they have left already.
That is precisely where Da Mo ssi and I differ.
I recognized immediately,
but Da Mo ssi realized it belatedly.
I am just raising her hair for now,
but after some two or three years, I plan to wed her officially.
That is my plan.
Sohn Ja, if he moves in with his grandma.
It'd be nice if he would give his apartment for us to live.
What about the renters?
We can send them away with a compensation for moving cost.
Mom, you sure want so much.
Think about why I'm saying this.
We need to save every penny possible.
Not having to pay $1,200 a month is a lot.
Unnie is giving us the living money.
Do you have to do that to Sohn Ja too?
It's not like Sohn Ja is spending the deposits.
It's all in the bank anyway.
He can give that back to them and send them away.
He can't do that much for us?
Unnie already said she can move us to a full lease next year.
Don't be wanting too much from others.
We can move into Sohn Ja's.
And the full lease money, we put it in the bank,
and do you know how much interest we can get?
Sa Ran can't come out this week either?
Give her a call.
It's a nuisance getting calls there.
No news is good news, alright?
Oh!
Mister Sohn, come eat asian melon.
Should I give it to you by foot? Mr. Foot?
If you're not busy, let's talk for a moment.
Yes.
I made a trip to Buyonggak and heard this.
Your friend Sa Ran is getting her hair raised.
I just found out today.
CEO Ma Yi Joon is a decent person.
But he's quite old.
I know.
Her parents say to do that?
I think she hasn't told them yet.
Stop her. She'll regret later on.
I told her today already.
But it doesn't seem like she will listen.
Da Mo ssi just came back.
And went to Head Madame's room.
I make a final plead with you.
Please stop Sa Ran, as someone who is also a woman.
Sa Ran is doing that to deter me.
It's too late for me to protest.
And the preparations are all underway.
If Sa Ran were your daughter, would you still just watch?
Tell Sa Ran to cross over here.
I think there's only one method to make her give up.
If Da Mo ssi tells her that he will let go of her, she may change her mind.
Not just empty words. But sincerely.
Sentiments last a long time with women.
A wise man doesn't create dregs to begin with.
You should've been in tune with your feelings from the start.
Do I really cherish this woman? Do I like her?
And if your judgement tells you yes,
you should've clenched her like a man would, instead of losing her.
Indeed.
In life, nothing is more precious than a person.
You can bring back everything to life, but not a person.
Is there another woman who is like Dan Sa Ran in looks, heart or soul?
A million dollars still can't bring forth those things.
I was lacking in many ways.
I acknowledge it.
Go ahead and speak.
I'll put away my feelings.
So, end things with CEO Ma.
I'll retreat completely.
So, don't get your hair raised.
I don't say two things with the same mouth.
Did you think I made a decision like that on a momentary whim?
Although I didn't agonize over the decison for days,
but I am confident I won't regret it.
Are you attracted to that fellow in any way?
No.
Then?
I may not be attracted to him as a man. But, he is a decent human being.
By the standards of olden time, he could be your father!
But I need someone to raise my hair.
Why must you?!
Because I want to follow Mother's path.
Since I'm a gisaeng already, I should do it properly.
Get my hair raised
and have my name known for my dance too.
If I just stay put like this...
You don't think a second or a third Ah Da Mo would appear?
You are tiring.
If you really can't stand CEO Ma, then you raise my hair for me yourself.
That'll solve it then, right?
But you don't want to?
Didn't you say you love me?
If you really like me, what can't you do for me?
Do you mean what you're saying?
Of course.
You don't have that kind of courage, do you?
You want to be a gisaeng with me too?
Don't turn it around like that.
You're scared and embarrassed of the world pointing fingers at you.
And it'll be tough with your parents too.
You don't want what's best for me.
How much more cruel are you going to get?
I am also aware of that.
I told you before, didn't I?
My innocence has disappeared.
Since I am no longer the Dan Sa Ran from before.
Go back, without any lingering feelings.
You proposed being adoptive siblings before,
so let me make a proposal of friendship too.
Meet an upright woman, marry and have children.
And come visit every now and then.
I will welcome your presence as a friend.
Since we will meet again,
I will decline the farewell.
You're leaving?
Yes.
Da Mo oppa just left,
with his belongings.
Hello.
It's Dan Sa Ran.
Yes.
He just packed up his belongings and left.
I think you don't have to worry anymore.
I don't know what to say.
I'm grateful... and apologetic.
Not at all.
Please hang up first.
In a little bit, before we get out.
Hold me once.
And leave.
What brings you here?
Why don't you answer your phone?
Jeez, you're not even a teen-age girl.
Where do you want to go?
I'll take two weeks off at the beginning of July.
Just tell me where. Africa, Turkey, or wherever.
Como.
Italy?
Hmm.
Alright. I'll make the reservations.
What about the kids?
Their aunt said she would come up.
I thought she runs a sashimi shop.
It went under. She's a bitter load to me.
Then what's going to happen?
I'll have to get her a kitchen job, I suppose.
I can't do anything else for her anymore.
This is the third one to go under.
Instead of that...
Find her a remarriage prospect. After all, her brother can't help her forever.
That pathetic wench can't stop this (drinking).
Which man would say yes, to such a drunk?
Don't use the word wench.
It's because I'm so upset. That 'thing' can't manage a married life properly.
And if I set something up for her, she loses it.
Each family always has one of those.
My friend Geun Soo...
his youngest brother has played around all his life, living off of Geun Soo's money.
So two weeks in Italy only?
Yes.
Come here, my 'old' babe.
Jang Shin ssi, you were doing fine just now. But, you've gone south to Sacheonpo (sidetracked).
You're going to be sixty soon, but I call you baby?
What do you mean soon? It's almost 10 years away.
Ra Ra...
tell her I'm out nearby, strolling.
Wait, no. Tell her I'm sleeping.
Is this the hour to sleep?
She's going to parch me.
Answer it.
Oh, jeez.
Hello.
Where are you?
I'm back from work.
What did you do so great that you don't even call?
I'm repenting right now.
Come and repent in front of me!
Now?
Then, do I go there?
Okay.
Why isn't he coming home?
Nothing bad could've happen, could it?
Why are you drinking alcohol?
Pour!
How did you know that woman died?
I found out.
How did you found out?
Through the PI center.
You missed her, did you?
Pierced by desire to see her, was it?
No, it's just that I never heard from her for 20 years.
I just thought something bad might have happened.
I suppose your heart was so crushed.
That she passed away.
Out of sight and out of mind, is what it is.
It's been over 20 years,
What feelings would there be left?
Was she pretty?
Just... you know, average.
How old?
If she were alive, she'd be fifty.
Three years older than you, you mean?
Yes.
That's why you named him Yeon Sang*? [ Yeon Sang = someone older ]
Is that sensical at all?
Kneel.
I said, kneel!
You mean it?
I can't stand it!
Your son.
Andre, Hyung's coming.
What about dinner?
I already ate.
Things are over with her, so you needn't worry anymore.
Dear God, thank you.
Where are you coming from?
I had a get-together with my employees.
This...
Read this when you have free time.
See how the script is.
I just need to see if it's interesting or not, right?
Of course. That's what's most important.
There isn't a title?
I name the title last.
Actually... This is just an excuse for me
to come and see your face once.
Strangely,
now that it's been decided,
should I say it feels unusual?
It also feels as though this is how brides and grooms of the old days,
who marry without ever first seeing each other's face, must have felt.
I have a physical flaw.
Do you like playing in the ocean?
I'm not particularly fond of salt water.
And since my skin is weak, if I get burn, I end up suffering.
Oh, what a great relief.
I...
On my back and on my chest,
I have pimples.
I've tried taking Oriental medicine and I've gone through cupping therapy as well,
but it didn't go away.
I suppose it's just my physical constitution.
That's why I don't even go to swimming pools.
That's what you call a physical flaw?
Of course. It's so stressful each time I shower.
I don't show it to others, no matter what.
It's not a big issue.
It can be rid of.
How?
With food.
Today,
the guy named Ah Da Mo
came to see me.
I told him off well and sent him away.
He's pulled his heart together completely and left.
If you have some ardent fans, leave them all to me.
I'll settle all of them for you.
In the end, we ended without even a picture.
Raise your hair for you?
Is that even a word you can say?
What the heck is with people who cry after they split up with some chick?
It's not even anything.
Not long ago, on the internet. Noona, did you see it?
Some orphan girl begged the police,
and finally found her parents.
And, it turns out that her father worked at the same factory as her.
Omo, really?
Yes. And that's my situation too.
Though not a parent, I never imagined Ra Ra noona could be my real older sister.
There are lots of times when reality is more dramatic than dramas.
It's true.
Then is it possible that Sa Ran unnie's birth parents might actually be near her too?
Very?
The only place near her is Buyonggak. But who is at Buyonggak?
The head madame never had a child.
And Director Lee is merely thirty-three.
Maybe one of the kitchen ahjummas?
The kitchen is just a forty-two year old spinster.
And two married women in their 30's.
Is it itchy?
I'll scratch for you.
No need.
A little lower.
Right there.
So refreshing.
Your back's knotted.
I haven't slept well.
Have you been ill?
No.
After the old man passed away...
Every now and then, I can't sleep.
Thinking about this and that nolstagic things.
What's today's lunch?
Are you fine with cold bean noodle soup?
Master Jeong.
Did he really say you will be able to find the child?
Yes.
Where is she and how she's living...
She's probably not married yet, right?
These days, most people marry past thirty.
This is my thought.
Since my son isn't just a salaried employee at some company.
He has his status in the society.
If the two you could just keep it quiet
and live together for awhile.
And, after he retires from the hospital,
then you two can officially marry. That's what I'd like.
Ah Da Mo is completely deterred already.
So you don't actually really have to go through with the hair raising, no?
It's because I don't trust myself.
I want to get rid of any doubt altogether.
So that, no matter what,
I won't go find him or call him.
Let's go.
The weather's so nice today.
Da Mo! Da Mo!
Get up already.
Your father's on his way from the airport.
Your stomach doesn't feel bitter?
You emptied an entire bottle of western liquor.
Andre, have you been well?
I think the rascal's gained some weight.
Maybe you gave him too many snacks.
He always find food.
It's a given that dogs like food.
The owner should manage it.
Alright.
Where's Da Mo?
I saw his car here.
He's washing up.
How did it go?
What?
The issue that he left home for.
Hear it from him yourself.
You're back.
Yeah... How did it go?
Failure.
What do you mean failure?
You put so much effort into it and you failed?
Yes.
Whose daughter is she anyway?
What will you do if you found out?
I'm asking you if she's from a household I'd know.
No.
Why doesn't she like you?
Are you lacking in looks, family background or education, huh?
It's because I didn't get it right from the beginning.
I'm to blame.
Set a meeting with her.
Why?
Because I'm curious.
We agreed to never see each other again.
You're old now.
Seeing how you're doing something you didn't do before.
What thing I didn't do before?
You're going on the bed first without me.
I'm just a bit tired today.
Andre.
Good night.
Mother-in-law's desire before passing.
Maybe we should've honored it.
What desire before passing?
The maiden who came by to dance.
She was fond of her, right?
As Da Mo's mate-prospect.
You've gone senile, haven't you?
I mean, if mother-in-law was fond of her,
it means the girl must have been pretty good.
Her disposition or character.
Shall I recite again? It's so outrageous that I still remember it clearly.
Her father, unemployed.
And the stepmom, kitchen help at Buyonggak.
It's just that the marriage prospects continue to burst..
So the thought occurred to me.
You sure know how to annoy me before I sleep.
How much did that outfit cost?
I didn't pay for it.
You picked it without even looking at the price tag?
How nice for you.
Getting three Mondosa outfits.
Plus a diamond necklace.
Jeez, go and ride the horse.
It's too hot.
If you sweat a lot, you can lose weight and it'll be nice.
Am I chubby?
Look at your legs.
What's wrong with them?
Are my legs thick?
Compared to your face, a little.
Joking!
Did ahjussi go out?
Unnie!
Oh, Sa Ran!
Sa Ran's here?... Yes, Dad.
Oh my, how did you get so much prettier?
I mean you were pretty to start with, but...
Unnie, is that real?
Yup.
Is it diamond?
Yes.
It wouldn't be the case that you bought this expensive thing yourself.
Congrats.
You're Ra Ra's brother, I hear.
You'll sleep here tonight, right?
No.
You should've called.
Then I could've gone to the market first.
Let's eat lunch out.
There's a new handcut noodle shop up by the intersection,
and it's so good!
And their kimchi is killer too.
But you guys like meat.
Meat that you eat at the restaurants are too greasy. It's just so-so.
And the price is so expensive too.
It's true.
Are you moving into your grandma's then?
Wednesday.
Be good and affectionate to your grandma.
Yes.
When do we pay our monthly rent?
I already sent it in the day before yesterday. Why?
Then I suppose we'll have to live here another month.
Did you get a whole lease somewhere?
Not a whole lease...
I'm getting my hair raised.
What do you mean you're getting your hair raised?
You guys go inside.
It's nothing to hide about anyway.
This coming Saturday.
But the family needn't come.
Hey, Sa Ran!
It's a good fortune to a gisaeng.
And a unit under my name at Village Mansion.
How many square foot?
Is the square footage the issue right now?
The man is single, for sure?
Yes.
How old? And what does he do?
The age is the only thing with a bit of a gap.
Forty-four.
Forty-four?
Unnie!
Are you in your right mind?
Get out.
He's going to be fifty soon.
Are you getting sold for money?
I said get out!
This really isn't it.
Going horseback riding?
Yes.
What are you going to do about the marital meetings?
I'm going to have it scheduled nonstop.
So, keep on meeting until you find the right one.
After I come back from traveling for a month or two.
I've made a plane reservation for Tuesday.
It would've been nice if you were married and the two of you could go together.
Don't sigh!
It's going to be August in a month or two.
When will he meet someone he's pleased with and marry?
Ack, the kid just upsets me.
Why are you getting up?
To prepare lunch.
I'm not moving into that place.
Did Ah Da Mo say it's fine?
He's accepted it.
I can't even come up with the words.
Why are you like this, seriously?
Take her back inside.
For whose sake?
You said you would only dance.
Can you tell your renters to move?
And I move in there?
How can you live there alone? So dangerous.
It's one thing if I were to stay with you.
Then do I move into the house she got in exchange for some old geezer raising her hair?
You go there tomorrow too and do something.
Calling who?
Ah Da Mo.
Don't.
Only those two know about what happened between them.
He didn't seem like someone who would give up so easily.
But we are still the outsider, no matter what.
Village Mansion?
This Ji Hwa Ja's pillars are finally blossoming.
If you search online, it comes up, right?
Village Mansion. Look for it.
You're so happy?
I'm just curious.
Mom.
Think about it.
Unnie living with that old geezer.
A few decades ago,
it was a trend for the new women to live like that.
That Haran Sara woman.
And Kim Il Yong too.
She met a man in his 40s when she was in her 20s too. It was in the news.
Should I go and find a man in his 40's too?
You think you can say anything?
You are a classic stepmother, Mom.
You sure are asking for another beating.
Stop and let's go out.
To where?
Ra Ra gave me these; to watch with you.
Movie tickets?
Yup. We can go watch it now and have dinner afterward.
I usually watch movies through DVD rentals.
Ra Ra went especially to get these for us.
What if you run into someone you know?
So what if I do? Darling, you are just...
It looks really good.
Can I have a taste?
It's good, but...
I think it doesn't have enough sesame oil.
Here... Enough.
What are you doing?
You look so beautiful when you're cooking.
Jeez.
Want me to massage your shoulders?
Just put your devotion into the fritters instead.
I am doing it with all my devotion.
Sohn Ja, that boy... he doesn't have any bad conducts?
Nope.
Why?
Want to meet him once?
Then, do I not even meet him?
When?
I don't know.
Once I'm ready.
I think you will be fond of him too.
The kid is so prudent and trustworthy.
Does he have a girlfriend?
Nope.
Have a taste.
Oh, I think we're going to have to take down the family portrait, huh?
It's really been a long time.
What are you looking for?
When I see the young misses, I keep wondering if they could be our child.
Actually, I do that, too.
I wonder about her so much.
I've imagined it too.
I think she must be very beautiful, taking after you.
Then if she's not beautiful, you will be disappointed?
No, I just meant I think she probably resembles you.
There's hope for us.
The hope of finding the child.
Oh. Let's go in.
Are your parents very disappointed?
I talked to them well.
It's CEO Ma.
I'll step outside.
Alright.
Hello?
I came back.
They said tomorrow evening is fine.
It seems like they didn't really object.
From the standpoint of a parent,
they should have been jumping in fur. Is this to be considered normal, no?
She said she talked to them well.
She doesn't look like...
she had to worked to persuade them.
By chance...
they are not her real parents?
Then she would've told us.
Welcome.
Pleased to meet you for the first time.
And we've met already, right?
Yes.
Here, have a seat.
Are you hungry?
No, I'm fine.
I'm thirsty.
Okay, I have some tomato juiced.
Please give me a glass too.
Honey.
Feed him some liquor. A lot.
Okay.
Here. Let's have a glass.
Oh, I drove here.
We can just call a substitute driver for you.
Do you want a glass too, Honey?
No.
We've prepared a lot of food, so please eat a lot.
Yes.
Here.
Auntie, you have a great sense of humor.
I don't like to be gloomy.
You should be like your auntie.
The homemaker's personality controls the atmosphere of the home.
Yup. Here, drink up.
Wow, did you make this all by yourself?
Of course.
They say the son-in-law gets his love from his mother-in-law.
So come to us often, in lieu of mother-in-law.
These days, you can't get a brood hen.
So intead, I'll prepare organic chicken for you.
Yes.
This house looks like a scenary, doesn't it?
Yes.
Our sons are a year apart.
But the eldest is abroad.
And the second son is traveling with friends.
I see.
Here, more.
Not too crazy about the tie.
Am I going on the marital meeting?
But we should think about Sa Ran's face (reputation).
So we should go out there looking tidy enough.
He's only ten years younger than me.
These days, men in their 40's, are in their prime.
Are you going tomorrow looking sulky and just eat food?
If only he were thirty-four, I would be fine.
But you should honor Sa Ran's will regardless.
She's not a thoughtless girl.
That pitiful girl.
Dan Se ssi, I think the trees need pruning.
Yes.
And spray repellent on them too.
I'll spray the repellent on them after the monsoon season is gone.
Or else the rain will wash it away.
But your son has already left. Last Friday.
Yes.
I'd like to see Sa Ran.
Sa Ran is probably in the room. Show her in to her.
Yes. This way, please.
Come in, please.
Unnie.
