New Tales of Gisaeng
I had to sleep with a mask on.
Why?
When Mr. Ma Dan Se passed gas,
the odor was something terrible, it could kill a person.
He must have weak intestines.
I experienced many wonderful sights, thanks to somebody.
I thought you said you liked it, being behind the same fence.
Truthfully, I put up with and endured it all because of you,
even if I said those words.
They probably think you are overseas right now.
They would be so crushed.
This much won't crush them.
They've gone through all kinds of things, pulling a corporation forward.
Let's keep your birth secret just between us.
Nothing good would become of my parents knowing,
and it isn't something that is going to resolve it.
Let me give it some thought.
I don't like deceiving them.
It isn't deceiving them, it's just not telling them.
That's the same difference.
Let's just put it all out in the open.
If you don't think you can go through with it, it isn't too late to change your mind now.
Alright, just don't say to end things.
Even if I were to think about it,
If I were a parent...
it's too much.
What now?
I've cleared my expectations.
Even if you said to break up now,
I know that you've come this far for your decision.
I'll accept it and step aside.
And for whose benefit?
Don't go being too stubborn and spoiled when you get home.
I'll take care of it. I know what I'm doing.
When we get married, all the grief I would have caused you,
consider it all done and over with already.
When we get married,
From this moment on, I'm only going to do nice things to you.
I can't wait.
That's enough drinking.
I can call a driver.
When do we greet your family?
Let's take our time.
The first order of things is to get your parents' blessing.
I told you my mom already said okay.
Let's not sigh.
Go.
I'll take you up first.
The driver is waiting.
Sister!
I heard that you went horseback riding.
Yes.
Get your sister to ride soon. So the three of us can ride together.
Yes.
Are you home for good?
Go.
Good night.
Yes.
What about Mr. CEO Ma?
He accepted it like a gentleman.
He wasn't injured too badly?
I'm so happy.
I think Sa Ran has kicked her good fortune aside once again.
They had the ceremony, but as soon as...
Are you home for good?
Yes.
How so?
Let me first wash my hands.
I don't know where to begin.
But in the end, I quit Buyonggak.
For good?
Yes.
Then you're just going to come in and live with CEO Ma?
No.
We ended things.
You ended things with CEO Ma?
Yes.
I heard you had the ceremony, yesterday!
The person I dated before came and stopped it.
That...
The son of Eun Sung Distributions.
His parents haven't given their blessing yet.
He wants to get married, so for now I've decided to follow him.
Marry?
Even though our financial situation is like this.
He said to trust him.
The son of Eun Sung Distributions?
Yes.
You mean, the son of Eun Sung Mart?
Yes.
Honey!
Honey, have you come to your senses?
Why are you crying?
Because I'm so happy!
Gong Joo, pinch me, would you?
It's too early to be happy.
Do you think his parents would easily let him do this?
Where is Sa Ran? Call Sa Ran in.
She's washing up. Stop pestering her.
Thank you, dear God.
Thank you, Buddha.
Did they set a date yet? Stop overreacting.
Is there a parent who can win over a child?
Honey, honey, drink some water.
Is this a dream or reality, honey?
It's reality.
Here now.
Is it time to take him to the doctor yet?
He went last week.
How can people be so heartless?
Why?
I heard this from our housekeeper when she came back from the market.
A little puppy was walking by,
and a man in his thirties gobbles up saliva and says this...
'... that thing should yield about three or four bowfuls. '.
How can you say such gruesome thing in front of him?
Can he understand what I'm saying?
Why wouldn't he? He is so sharp. He comes and goes when he is called.
Andre.
Go on out for just a little bit.
Those kind of people,
need to die and come back as dogs in their next life and get that same treatment.
Then they'll be held accountable.
Do you believe in reincarnation?
Have you ever seen a tomato plant grow from a watermelon seed?
I must have done many good deeds and shown mercy,
to be given all this fortune in this life.
Look at you.
Think about it with logic.
The souls that are the same...
but some are born as a innate genius like Mozart.
But some are born like a Salieri who is still not up to par no matter how hard you work.
A blessing that is not a blessing.
So futile and unfair.
I'm singing psalms to a cow.
You need basic intelligence in order to even understand what I'm talking about.
You said that the housekeeper did the grocery shopping?
Yes.
Wait, you entrust the food that your husband is going to eat to the housekeeper?
I make the side dishes.
How important are the ingredients for the food you make?
You should mind the groceries as well.
You are bursting with laziness.
How am I bursting with laziness?
In other people's houses, the housekeepers even make all the side dishes.
If other people die, are you going to die too?
Then what is it that you do around here after you eat?
There's a lot I do.
I do work for the unfortunate and I hold charity bazaars as well, and gatherings too.
And you have to go and chat around too and play golf, too.
That's right.
Who is it at this time of night?
It's probably Secretary Kim, who else?
Your son.
Our son?
Yes.
Andre!
It's Damo.
He said he'd be gone a month or two and it hasn't even been half a month.
Andre, your brother is home.
What happened?
He was lonely so he came. Because he was homesick.
Did you injure your eyes?
No, just because.
I have something to tell you.
Why is your lip like that?
It got split.
It got split because you must be tired.
Are you not hungry?
Yes.
You don't like airplane food.
I've been inside the country.
You mean you didn't go anywhere?
Yes.
Why? Then where were you?
I was at the villa, too.
Then you should have told us, little rascal.
Good job.
Is there anything to see if you run around Europe? I think Europe is bland.
I want to get married.
With whom?
Is it perhaps the girl you had picked out?
Yes.
Of course, my son would!
Finally!
Aren't you happy, dear?
Andre, your brother says he's going to marry.
Does she like dogs?
Yes.
This is good then.
I think once she sees him,
she will be so "friggin enamored" as the kids would say these days.
Okay. It's late, let's talk about the details tomorrow.
Why wait to discuss this important matter tomorrow?
Whose daughter is it?
Just an average family.
An average family?
Yes.
The one whom Grandmother would occasionally call over to dance.
Named Dan Sa Ran.
She's friends with Ra Ra.
Are you kidding?
She wouldn't accept me, but I barely managed to hold onto her.
So please, don't object too, Father, after everything.
Do you know the details of her background?
Of course I do.
Did Grandmother introduce you?
I saw her for the first time here
and then we had a group blind date at the ski lodge, with Ra Ra too.
Did she set it up?
No.
A friend of mine organized it, but when I went, she was there.
We are fated. Blood fate.
Don't you use the word blood fate so carelessly.
I heard this from Sa Ran,
but she said that Grandmother was planning to formally introduce us.
She had approved of her as a granddaughter-in-law.
I know.
Then, the next day she passed away.
It means that it wasn't fated to be.
Did she tell the two of you as well?
Yes.
Then why didn't you tell me?
Then I wouldn't have gone through this suffering.
Because definitely you weren't meant to be together, that's why she wrongfully died so early.
Honey, let's go in and talk.
Why should I go in and talk?
I can't talk where I wish to in my own home?!
Because Grandmother mentioned it, I checked her out,
and in one phrase, she's just a pretty balloon.
I didn't know you were like that. How could you have her investigated?
Wouldn't you be curious?
Her father is jobless
and her mother is the lowest of the kitchen help at Buyonggak gisaeng house.
And on top of that, her real mother died a few years ago.
Whoever investigated her did a sloppy job of it.
Her deceased mother is just the mother that raised her,
and the father just raised her, too.
What are you talking about?
She doesn't know her birth parents.
If she doesn't know her birth parents then...
They raised a baby that was left at someone's front door.
Don't make up unreasonable stuff.
I'm not making up unreasonable stuff.
I wasn't planning to tell you this truth,
but Sa Ran said to put it all out there, so that's why I'm telling you.
So duff on all fronts, from one to ten.
And her job is being a gisaeng, at Buyonggak.
Did you just say she's a gisaeng?
Yes.
You're not just kidding, for real?
Yes. She entered there after we broke up.
Honey, comedy...comedy.
Is there a hidden camera somewhere here?
Subtitles Provided by Team Gisaeng @Viki.com.
I fully know your heart.
At first, I, too, thought like you and tried to end it.
And we were completely broken up.
And I met a whole line of girls from good households.
But, in the end, if it isn't Sa Ran, I can't do it.
Why would your son end up coming to this conclusion? Just once...
Just once, be understanding of me, please.
So she's a foundling, is she?
And on top of that, she's a Buyonggak gisaeng.
She was a dance gisaeng. So, she didn't fraternizewith the clientele.
So, are you saying last month when you were away, you were at Buyonggak?
Yes. And I saw you come that time, too.
This punk just... !!!!
Oh, Honey!!!
Honey, please!! Honey!!
And you must have known that your mother went there, too.
I heard about it the day after.
You didn't know, dear?
You knew?
Seeing how you lost consciousness, you must have known.
Yes.
THEN, WHY DIDN'T YOU TELL ME?!!!!
How could I?
I was going to resolve it on my own.
Sa Ran didn't tell you that she met me?
Did you meet with her?
Yeah.
What did you tell her?
From my perspective, would I tell her to go ahead and date you?
Then, it seems she decided to raise her hair because of you.
Raise her hair?
I blocked her. And she came out from Buyonggak today for good.
She said she would do as you say?
Yes.
I don't want to hear anything more.
And I don't have anything to say.
You have to give us your decision though.
You have to say something sensible for me to make a decision.
This involves your child.
Don't ever bring that up to me again!
What just happened?
You come in, too, dear! There is no need to listen anymore!
What sin did I commit in my past life to receive such treatment from that rascal?
Regarding the most important matter of marriage, he is betraying me.
They say that a child will upset you once or twice.
Give me a briefing.
Everything about Dan Sa Ran. Didn't you say you met with her?
She's a decent child.
Geez.
Like mother like son.
This is all you can say?
You think that is what I want to hear?
Meet with her yourself, dear.
I intend to.
If you know your enemy and yourself,
you can win every battle.
When mother-in-law had it in mind to...
I don't want to hear it!!!
Are you serious about ending things?
Yeah.
Did I hurt your feelings?
If I were a man and if I had the ability, I think I'd be drawn to younger women, too.
You're my first love
and because of you, I studied tenaciously and passed the bar exam.
It was better when it was just an old longing.
Am I that lacking?
You aren't the same person you were before.
You were tidy and sharp, and full of sensibility.
And you had dreams and you worked doggedly to reach your dreams.
What I longed for were those aspects of Jang Shin ssi.
But now, you are a worldly man who is just ordinary.
Before, you didn't even know how to make an insult.
And your eyes were so clear.
Were they?
Meet someone nice. Actually, I am old.
They say not to meet your first love again.
Do you regret it?
Don't you, more so than me?
Regardless, the longing has been alleviated.
Now I think I can get old comfortably, without any lingering attachments.
What are you going to do?
I'll have to give it some thought.
It's late, you should get going.
If you change your mind, call me anytime.
[Thank you so much for bringing my sister back home.]
[ There is nothing more that I want. ]
[Gong Joo. ]
Sa Ran, forget about all the things I made you feel bad about.
Become the madame of a wealthy family and take good care of Gong Joo.
Please DO NOT use our subtitles for anything other than your viewing pleasure without our permission.
There isn't anyone else like you, dear. For nothing...
There still hasn't been any word, after all those advertisements.
I don't know when we'll ever meet.
I'm thinking that someday, because her blood type doesn't match,
I think she'll ask her parents.
And they'll have to tell her the truth.
Won't you think she'd then come looking, if it was you?
The good thing is,
I think we'll meet because of that.
Because we didn't move and stayed in that house.
I suppose.
It is hard to live in the same house for that long.
Somewhere along the way, mother wanted to move to an apartment to be more comfortable.
But strangely, it didn't seem quite right.
So we stayed there, which is a good thing. Isn't it?
Yes, if it turns out that way, that would be good.
But her blood type could happen to match, too.
That's true.
Or, the lady who took her from our house could have contracted a terrible disease.
And could have told her the truth on her deathbed.
And she could come looking for us.
When we do meet, she will resent me so much.
Did you sleep well? (Good morning. )
I didn't sleep well. Don't sit there!
Eat separately or eat after I'm gone.
What are you talking about?
This is my house!
Why don't you take some kimchi, too?
I have enough.
They say you should hate the deed, but not the person.
Though my decision doesn't appease your ambition or wish,
you don't even want to eat with me?
In this world, more than money or status, isn't family the most important thing?
A parent to a child is a relative of first degree, while a spouse to a spouse is not related at all.
They are either closer to being a relative, or...
If there is no affection, you might as well be strangers, right?
I'm going to be a family with the person I like the most.
I won't live as strangers with a woman whom I don't have any affection for.
It was obvious that you were going to react this way,
so I did everything in my power to break up with her.
But, in the end, she is the one that fits me the best.
So what I'm saying is,
don't say to end things or break up because it is futile.
A person should make a judgment about a person's whole being.
Whether the person is good-hearted, evil or lazy.
I don't think it should be decided because of a household or financial status.
Know-it-all.
Father, you've lived your life leaning too much on achieving success.
You ate and lived comfortably because of my success, up until now.
That's what I'm saying.
We live well. So, does a daughter-in-law's family need to be rich, too?
Did I say she's poor?
She doesn't even know her birth parents.
And on top of it, she played the part of a gisaeng.
Before you knew of her birth secret
and before she became a gisaeng, you had already ruled her out.
When Grandmother approved of her.
Father, you always say that nothing will go wrong if you listen to your parents.
-If you just listen to Grandm... -Be quiet!!
Before I pour water on you!
You know Dan Sa Ran's phone number, don't you?
Yes.
Tell her to come to my office, that I would like to see her.
What time?
4:00
She's a pitiable child. Don't say harsh...
Stop nagging!!
Yes.
Did everything get resolved with Director Ma?
Yes.
Well, that's a relief!
So, what I'm saying is,
you haven't met with the chairman of Eun Sung Group yet, have you?
No.
Don't worry too much about it. Everything will be okay.
Honestly, I'm not expecting anything.
It's fine if you expect it.
When a guy likes you that much.
Regardless, think about it by yourself only.
Please don't tell anyone else.
Of course we won't!
Why would we go and blabber like troubles.
Of course, don't worry.
We'll just wait quietly.
What happened?
What I told you yesterday is everything.
I blocked Sa Ran from getting her hair raised.
You said it was all over.
That you were going to go overseas and clear your head.
I thought if I saw her get her hair raised that I would be able to get over her,
so I was just going to see that.
But upon seeing it, I realized I couldn't do it.
I have to have Sa Ran, in order to do work properly and manage everything well.
Your father won't even flicker.
Naturally with father's personality, he won't simply go ahead and okay it.
So,
she said she'd go along with what you say?
Would she not tire and give in?
Hello.
This is Seongbuk-dong.
Yes.
Hello.
I heard from Da Mo.
I'm sorry.
What is there to be sorry about?
It's Da Mo's stubbornness, what else?
But I couldn't keep my promise.
My husband would like to see you today.
Can you come out?
Yes.
Don't expect to hear nice things.
His personality is extremely fierce.
Yes. At what time?
At the company, at 4:00. The main office in Sapyung-dong.
I know.
Don't get cold feet.
So he can see your sincerity. You know what I'm saying, don't you?
Yes.
You won't get full on your first drink. [ Don't expect too much on your first attempt. ]
It's going to take some time to change his mind.
Who is it?
Your elder daughter-in-law.
The toiler cover is broken. It needs to be fixed or replaced with a new one.
It's old.
Yes.
Mother, I have came.
Are you doing a thorough cleaning?
No.
Ahjuma,
There is a vase by the bathtub, please bring it to me.
There are flowers in it already.
Oh, really?
What is it?... I wanted to see you. And I have something to tell you.
I had a gathering yesterday.
Seeing Ra Ra's car isn't here, she must be out?
Mm-hmm.
Sit down.
Why?
Mother, I did wrong.
What?
I want to come back. Please accept me.
I didn't know, but after being apart...
The person I love and am fond of is your son.
I want to get back together with him.
I was reckless.
From what I hear,
you have someone else.
I had someone I was seeing, but it is over.
I did wrong.
I'll come back in and take care of you.
And properly send Ra Ra off. I'll work harder than I did before.
It's too late.
I said that it's too late.
He's gotten over you and has plans to remarry.
Who is it?
Oh Hwa Ran?
No.
She isn't a housekeeper?
Before you were married,
he met her when he went to the island to do charity medical work, I believe.
And they happened to meet again not too long ago, by coincidence.
You shouldn't have split up so easily.
So have you accepted her, too?
Am I the one who is going to live with her?
What am I going to do if he wants to?
He says he likes her?
That woman?
He did.
So is she living here?
No.
If there isn't anything special, she comes and prepares my lunch.
And the side dishes.
What?
I'm going to talk to her.
Don't get involved.
You're apart now and don't have any right to.
What has she been doing?
Bu Yong Gak's head chef.
That sly Oh Hwa Ran.
What about Director Oh?
Director Oh orchestrated all this.
Because she's old, she just wanted to hold onto Ra Ra's father, by any means.
I said they knew each other before you were married.
Before,
when you went to Buyonggak for the couple's gathering,
he said he happened to see her there.
Does Ra Ra know all about this?
Uh.
She must be speechless.
Compared to her birth secret, this is nothing really.
She told her father to do whatever he wanted.
But, she wished that after she got married,
that they would have their ceremony.
What is her name?
Han Soon Deok.
How old is she?
Forty-seven.
She bought those flowers too, didn't she?
Uh.
Or, go and meet with my son.
Tell him you still hold feelings for him.
Apologize,
and ask him to get back together, and
he may be swayed.
Sa Ran?
Yes?
Are there any side dishes that you want to eat?
I'm going to eat dinner out.
Tomorrow morning, too.
I'm fine. Is there any more conditioner?
Oh, we're all out.
I'll buy some right away.
I'll just rinse.
You're leaving?
Yes.
Good bye.
I should have seen it myself.
It's embarrassing.
Hearing it made me tear.
Is it quiet from that side?
His mother doesn't object.
That's already something.
I'm seeing the Chairman later.
What if he says you can't?
Not just what if, it's 100% certain he will.
You're not going to back off saying you can't cope with it on your conscience, are you?
We're going to try our best together, the best we can.
To just leave it all to Da Mo,
and to hide so I don't get hurt doesn't seem right.
He worked and suffered all that for me.
Mm-hmm.
I feel at ease hearing that you've made up your mind to.
He spent a lot of money.
Expenses CEO Ma spent on hair-raising
and the training and various costs at Buyonggak.
He said he would go and settle them clean today.
You just need to marry him and be a good wife to him and love him a lot.
Go with a firm resolve today.
Chairman Ah looks really scary.
It would be better if he would smile,
but his gaze is no joke.
I saw a picture of him.
Hello.
Where are you?
I'm with Sa Ran.
Have a meal with me today.
I have an appointment already.
I'm here to see the Chairman. A 4:00 appointment.
Are you Dan Sa Ran ssi?
Yes.
Please come this way.
President, Dan Sa Ran ssi is here.
Oh.
Have a seat.
I had noodles for lunch,
I was in a meeting and I talked a lot.
I got so hungry.
Miss probably doesn't snack like this, so as not to gain weight, do you?
Seeing how my employees are.
Yes.
Since I don't have much time, I'll talk while I'm eating.
Yes.
I'd like to hear what kind of feelings you have for my Da Mo.
Not just simply that you like him.
Make it clear and concise.
To me, he's like a naughty seven-year-old boy.
Parents who are raising children
say that when a child turns seven, they do such hateful things.
But just because they do, would they hate their own children?
Listening to people who are raising late-in-life children.
They say it is "naughty three-year old" and "crazy seven-year old".
It is love and hate for us.
But now, the loathing is gone and only love is left.
He was with fault, but now I've gotten over them.
Because he said he wants to get married?
It doesn't matter if we get married.
If, in the end, his parents object and we break up,
he will still remain as an ardent love to me.
What about the willingness to let him go?
That phase is already passed.
I attempted to do so, but I failed.
I don't know if you've heard or not.
Then, you want to go all the way with Da Mo?
Is that really thinking in the best interest of someone you like?
From the way I see it, you're acting like you can't win over Da Mo,
and burying yourself behind him to let him pull forward.
I haven't shared any blood with him (given children)
and we are still strangers by law.
But Mr. Chairman and son are related on the first degree; blood and flesh.
I believe you can persuade him more than I can.
To be honest, I've already surrendered in the matter of breaking up or not.
If you can get him to break up with me,
I will then back away instantly.
I can promise you.
She's talking about degree of relative, just like him.
Did you plan what to say with him?
Plan to say what?
I didn't tell him that I was coming here, you see.
Ok.
If you two want to live together,
then you should.
If you say that you like him even when he does ugly things,
then I have nothing left to say.
Okay then. I'll give Da Mo to you,
so go ahead and take him to live with you.
I've finished saying what I have to say.
Go ahead and drink and go.
Thank you.
Quite honestly, my thoughts are
I'd prefer you come into our home as a daughter, rather than a daughter-in-law.
Anyway, your parents aren't your real parents, I hear.
Oh,
This is Ja.
Hello.
Welcome.
The washroom is that way.
Dear, you wash your hands, too. I made Vietnamese spring rolls.
Later, I'll give you a massage.
Just my shoulders or all over?
All over.
What do you think?
He looks like me, doesn't he?
Gosh, it must be nice!
We've set a date... When?
The week after the Fall Harvest, September 23.
Saturday?... Friday, evening at 5.
So, you're the first to go, out of all of us.
I guess.
I think I might be the first?
You have someone?
Dan Sa Ran.
That dance gisaeng from Buyonggak?
Yes.
Stop joking.
I'm telling the truth.
If everything is ready by the end of the month, I'm going to have the ceremony right away.
Did your parents approve?
Only my father is left.
If he keeps objecting, I'm just going to set a date and move forward with it.
Wow, you had that romantic side to you?
Seriously.
I did think his feelings for her weren't just ordinary.
How did she manage to catch a big fish like you?
If you knew the truth, she's actually the big fish, not me.
She's on a different level from the average women.
Other than her face, what else does she have?
Beyond just her face,
Just watch and see my life.
Then you'll know.
This is Yeon Sang when he was young.
Did you get enough to eat?
Yes.
I ate really well.
Some fruit.
My deceased maternal grandmother
once told me preparing food is the hardest work there is.
Thank you so much for today.
You prepared such a good meal, too.
Come visit often, comfortably.
Yeah.
Yes.
Yeon Sang always wished he had a younger brother.
He'll like you.
When you guys meet, be amiable to him.
I hear you and Ra Ra get along well.
Yes.
Anyway, you're our family's youngest.
There is a woman who limps slightly, is she a gisaeng, too?
She's the head chef.
Her talents are the best.
She's been with us over twenty years.
Then her husband and everyone is here?
She's single still. She's single still.
Hello.
This is me.
Oh.
Did you get off work yet?
I was just about to.
There was a patient whose condition was bad, so I'm stayed late.
Do you want to stop by my home?
What is the matter?
Does something need to be the matter to stop by?
If you're not comfortable, we can have tea out somewhere.
There is nothing to be uncomfortable about, but.
Let's have tea.
I was so busy I couldn't even have a cup of coffee today.
Okay.
You should have had him stop in for a bit.
The son of Eun Sung. So he could drink something cold and refreshing.
I met a friend.
You stopped by yesterday?
I saw the woman named Han Soon Deok today.
She's beautiful.
I met her at Buyonggak that last time.
I heard from mother.
Couldn't
you accept me again?
Being away from you, I long for you.
I think I can do good now, with my heart.
Don't you have someone, too?
I did, of course.
But I'd like to go back to you.
It's too late.
It isn't like you've already gotten married.
What's important is the heart, so.
Do you
like that woman?
Yeah.
You lived with me for over twenty years and was attached to me.
Weren't you?
You ended things and left.
I didn't know my heart exactly.
Should I say that I was just a little sick of things?
It was a moment of weakness.
Living with father and mother-in-law this whole time.
There were many things that were difficult.
I know.
You endured a lot of hardships.
I will always be thankful to you.
What kind of relationship do you have,
that she comes and goes from the house?
We've decided to married after RaRa is married.
Does she
draw you to her more than I do?
Was she your first love?
We never dated properly.
Did you have her buried in your heart forever longing for her?
I did think of her once in a while.
I understand that heart, too.
Because I felt that, too.
But, in my situation,
after meeting him again, I found that it isn't the same feeling from the past.
It would be easy for you to be the same way, too.
Let's
start over again.
If you look, there are probably many decent people.
And someone like you has good characteristics.
Go and sleep now.
What did you think after meeting with Sa Ran?
She's decent, isn't she?
Mm-hmm.
Would your son fall for just a pretty face?
I've had female reporters stop by.
And students we sponsored have come by, too.
But she's the first one I've seen take her own juice glass out.
Sa Ran did?
Mm-hmm.
She's from a decent birth, I'm sure.
Her birth is a mess, of course.
If they were proper parents, would they abandon their child?
But,
she is so well-mannered and not an ounce of recklessness.
Or her adoptive parents raised her well.
Would they make her a gisaeng if they raised her well?
And allow her to have her hair raised?
It's just how she's formed.
Half nurture,
and half nature.
That's true.
So,
what did you decide to do?
Are you going to give them permission?
Da Mo must be home.
Did father have something to drink?
He said he had two glasses of wine.
Did you meet with Sa Ran?
No.
It was Doo Sung's birthday, so we met up.
Are you not thirsty?
No.
Did you give it some thought?
Say what you wish to say.
I wish you would accept her for my sake.
By your standard,
I know it's disappointing and upsetting. But still.
And what about people pointing their fingers at me?
What disgrace would I face, to have a gisaeng as daughter-in-law?
There is what grandmother said,
Gossips shift in three days.
Watching the news,
even those who are shamed before everyone end up being forgotten.
People might also think of it positively,
Better than just sticking with other people who have money, too.
Sa Ran
she is a wise girl and intelligent.
Quite frankly, do you see kids from well-to-do families achieve anything on their own?
It's all due to being born to successful parents,
and managed to receive good education since young,
and do everything through their inheritance.
And I'm the same way.
If you would just trust me this once and grant your permission,
I'll never disappoint you,
and show you what I'm capable of.
Did I say I would put you back to your job?
You told me to hurry up and get married and take charge of the resort.
And I want to work, too.
Have you finished saying what you wanted?
Just one more thing.
Min Jae and Doo Suk, this is what they said on their own.
Sa Ran only danced and never fraternized with the clientele.
I believe so, too.
Did you see her?
Today.
At my office.
But, why didn't she tell me?
Before,
when you asked about the adoptive daughter,
was it not Sa Ran?
It was.
Persuade her to come into our home.
As an adoptive daughter.
How?
You had your heart set on that too before, didn't you?
That was when I didn't think I could marry her
and didn't think I could live without seeing her.
So I came up with that as my desperate attempt.
And Sa Ran objected to it, of course.
Why?
She said we couldn't deceive you.
She said she couldn't deceive you guys and deceive the person I would end up marrying.
You don't need to deceive us anymore.
Father, I love Sa Ran and want to make her my wife.
I don't want to make her my younger sister.
You only want to marry her.
Yes.
Go ahead.
You may,
but leave home and do it then.
If we don't look at the terms.
If I look at just Sa Ran, it's okay.
But,
even if I think about it a hundred times, she isn't the type to marry.
Either give up getting married,
or leave us.
Decide between the two.
Honey!!
Are you saying to cut our ties?
You can come back when you end things with her.
I've finished what I have to say.
You make the decision.
Think carefully, so you don't regret it.
I understand.
If I had thought I would change my mind so easily,
I wouldn't have made this decision, in the first place.
In the end, you value your own reputation more than your son's happiness.
The ears and eyes of others...
You will also become a parent. Then, you'll see.
Do you think all parents are like you, Father?
If she came in as our adoptive daughter, your mother would cherish...
I don't need it!
Why don't you need it?
Are you Sa Ran?
Father, can you live like brother and sister with Mother?
We're already married, and you're not.
And you haven't even dated a year.
Don't step foot in the office again.
Of course.
Da Mo.
Don't think about changing my mind.
Is she more important than us?
Are you going to live forever by my side?
I have my own life, too.
I have every right to live with the woman I like, don't I?
People who marry their first loves...
There aren't that many.
A first love is just that, a first love.
A rite of passage.
I'm going to wash up.
I'll give Da Mo up. Live with him if you want.
Hello.
Ah Da Mo.
I feel like you've gotten an illness again.
What illness?
The prince syndrome.
Since I met the dear princess,
it's only right that I should be a prince to match her.
Did you have fun?
Now that I'm getting old, meeting up with friends is just that.
Have you turned sixty or something?
I heard you met with my father today.
Why didn't you tell me?
Why would I tell you that over the phone?
Didn't he say anything difficult to hear?
No, he said to take you and live with you.
And, then?
I said, "Thank you" and left.
Did I do something wrong?
You did well.
I miss you after not seeing you for the whole day.
If I'll run over there, will you let me see your face?
Just sleep a few hours and I'll see you tomorrow.
Alright.
For now, let's sleep and we'll talk tomorrow.
Okay.
You must not have drunk very much alcohol.
They just like to have small talk, these guys are too shrewd to drink a lot.
That's a good thing.
When guys drink too much, they show their lowly side and their brains get paralyzed.
My brain is already paralyzed because of you.
Then all that is left is for you to come to your senses.
Why, I like it like this.
I'm missing out then.
Since I like you with a sober mind.
Hey, Sa Ran,
What?
You're everything to me.
Me too.
He's a good kid.
Isn't he?
Tell him to move in here.
Really?
You don't think you'd be uncomfortable?
We should at least live with him.
Yeon Sang is a lost cause, and Ra Ra is going to be someone else's family soon.
That's right.
They say the apple doesn't fall far from the tree.
How is it that he's so much like you?
Andre.
What am I going to do?
Oh.
This.
Yes.
I think this will look really good on you.
Gong Joo, you pick one out, too.
Since you're young,
something small in size.
Some earrings.
Those diamonds there, looks so brilliant.
It is just a matter of time then, before this Ji Hwa Ja becomes a madame.
I got myself a lucky husband.
I'm gonna die with lots of money.
Hello?
Mister.
Who is this?
This is Manager Noh.
Yes?
I'm...
What?
Sick!
Where?
I threw up all night and every bone in my body is aching.
You must be getting all old.
Mister!!
You're going to make me go deaf.
I'm telling you that I'm sick.
So what do you want me to do?
I'm asking you to come and make breakfast.
How can we?
If you don't want to, then go hungry.
Hello?
Manager Noh said she's sick.
She said for us to make breakfast.
I can't, I can't.
I can't either.
Dan Se, you go make some.
Why me?
Last time, when you were sick, you received her favor.
The table leg was about to break with all the food you got when you were sick.
And walnut porridge, too.
I should turn off my phone.
Did you sleep well?
Did your ex-wife call?
Yes.
I met up with her last night.
What did she say?
That she wants to get back together.
And so?
I told her surely not, of course.
Gosh, she kicked her good fortune aside and...
Where else is there someone like you?
She realized that the old mayor is a good mayor.
Please come and eat!
Sure.
Live well in my place and take good care of our parents.
Please go into your room, so that I can bid you farewell.
You're leaving now?
Yes.
What about breakfast?
Remember, he said he was uncomfortable eating with me?
Just go.
Don't go overboard.
Please watch your health.
Mm-hmm.
Honey.
I'll be going.
Da Mo!
Please go ahead and eat.
Honey.
You're going to send him away like this?
He made this decision.
Hello.
Are you up?
Yes.
You haven't eaten breakfast yet, have you?
No.
Let's eat breakfast at the hotel, okay?
Where?
Yeah,
Just dress comfortably and come out.
Alright.
I'll call you when I get there.
Since it's rush hour, it'll take a long time to go back and forth.
It could be noon by the time we get there.
I'll just meet you at the hotel.
Okay, sure.
Meet me at Geum Gang Hotel.
Okay.
I'll call you when I get there.
Okay.
Have some honey tea.
Okay.
I'll do it.
Why is it so sweet?
Manager Noh is sick, so Dan Se ssi must have made it.
I'll go remake it.
No need.
Then what about breakfast?
Because we have side dishes, Dan Se said he just needs to make the rice.
We'll need to call Soon Deok.
I guess they've already called.
Here it is.
Executive Bang, please.
Yes, sir.
Thank you.
Oh, are you here?
Feels like I'm travelling.
Are you hungry this morning?
Yeah.
Me, too.
Where do you want to go for our honeymoon?
Did he give his blessing?
Until we finish breakfast, questions are banned, just answers.
I'm good with anywhere.
Um, how about Italy?
I won't care even if it is just Jeju Island.
There are a lot of good places in Italy.
I've always wanted to go to Venice.
Okay then.
Let's eat first, I'm hungry.
I'm sorry.
I had a health checkup this morning.
This is my parents' inheritance that was going to be turned over to Da Mo.
Fortunately the paperwork hadn't been processed yet.
Discuss it with the corporate lawyer.
As quickly as possible,
make sure that Da Mo can't make any claim to it.
Brought to you by the team Gisaeng @Viki.com.
Like us, you have two sons?
There's a story to it.
Ra Ra was sent to her uncle's to be raised.
Then Dr. Geum is her uncle...
I am actually her mother.
I have a large estate under my name.
We can get married and buy a house and everything.
Let's go house-hunting today.
To move out and live on our own?
You're the only son, can you do that?
I packed my things and moved out.
That's what he meant by 'taking you and living with you'?
Father-in-law, do you think I would let the man I love,
marry without his parents, like an orphan?
I'll never do that.
Please spare me ten minutes, Chairman.
I was curious about one thing.
I came to ask if you weren't going to attend our wedding.
