New Tales of Gisaeng
Suffer only for a few years.
Even if it's not Eun Sung,
I will surely succeed.
And give you a life living and enjoying all you've ever wanted.
Those lines sound like something one would say on the first night.
A pledge ceremony is the same as a mental marriage.
Really?
I searched the song you sang at Buyonggak and it's called "First Love". I found it.
Ye... ah.
That day.
We can talk about it now.
But I couldn't contain my tears.
And I cried in my heart.
It's the story of us, right?
"The moment I first saw you,"
"my heart trembled."
"I already had the premonition then, that I'd fall in love"
You even memorized the lyrics?
Effortlessly.
Later on, our kids,
they'll be so touched when they hear their mom and dad's love story.
Kids?
I'd like to have at least two.
Is that something you can decide though?
Just my wish, I mean.
Let's do this.
Come to Buyonggak with me.
Today, Madame Oh and Director both
said the hotel money is a waste. So you should move in there to stay.
And that could actually provoke your father more.
You should save the money for the studio too. Every penny counts.
Should I?
Yep.
Thanks to me, our prince has become a commoner and is now suffering in life.
They say one should suffer some in their youth, even if they need to pay money to buy the suffering.
Who did you hear that from?
The old sayings are all from my grandma.
Maybe she passed away to make me suffer a little.
Let's take the cab only for today, since today is a significant day.
Which department will you be working in?
Doo Seok said he would find the proper position and let me know tomorrow when I get there.
Did you bring your suit out?
The suit, I can just change into it after I get there.
Please turn on the air-conditioner.
As I am feeling a little warm.
For real?
Do you remember "Farewell, My Concubine"?
Yes.
Back then, why did we go and see that movie again?
Leslie Cheung was so enchanting and beautiful in there. Don't you think so?
I don't know!... Why don't you know?
You have no eyes?
Your son left the home and you're thinking about a deceased movie actor?
I told you, he'll be back in less than a month.
Just get ready to wear a wig.
On what off chance?!
Even if he only earns around $3,000 a month,
he'll be able to hold up for as long as he wants.
Do you think the matters of the world go as you want?
Dear, did you do something again?
Maybe they exchanged rings?
What?
Just because the ring is pretty.
Have some milk.
Yes.
Is it a couple ring?
Yes.
It's not good to date for too long.
Your blood pressure has gone up a bit. Do you have a lot of worries?
Because of that rascal son of mine, it's complicated.
You've heard from your daughter, right?
According to Ra Ra, the girl seems pretty good.
I've met her too.
What use is her being a good person? When her terms are all bad.
From the standpoint of the parent, it's hard to ignore them.
From one to ten.
My son is the problem. What use is there in blaming other people's child?
He says he has to marry her, no matter what?
How can anyone sit and watch a marriage with a gisaeng?
I have my method though.
It'll all be resolved very soon.
I see.
Let's change your prescription a bit.
What about Ra Ra?
She's getting married next month.
Oh that's great!
He's a doctor at our hospital.
Da Mo's friend, from high school.
I feel apologetic toward you,
but it looks like I am going to have to back out.
Your father's against it.
We all met up with him yesterday.
I think it's going to be tough with other companies too.
Your father's ironclad about it.
He's not going to sit and watch anyway,
but regardless, all companies
would know you and your father's name as Eun Sung, so who would hire you on a provision?
So just heed your father.
There's really no other way.
Aren't women as abundant as sand particles?
Even if they are abundant like sand, your heart can only go to a certain one.
It is commonplace that people live life never meeting a person they trust completely.
But I was lucky that I met mine.
Use this.
Or you can pay back later on when you can.
It's alright. Later on, if I really need it, I'll tell you.
Why doesn't she just go travel and cultivate her hobbies instead?
So she can age elegantly.
But mom's live her entire life as a homemaker.
She must desire a sense of vitality in life.
Madame Oh is there. What would she do there?
Madame Oh can handle the clients and mom can run the operational aspects.
They'll just end up hurting each other.
Can just anyone work in a partnership?
Perhaps, I called when you're busy?
No, I was just packing my bags.
I plan to re-enter Buyonggak.
Why there again?
I plan to go there and teach the dance to the newbies. And, also learn some culinary skills.
You could just attend a culinary school for that.
Buyonggak cuisine, from what I saw, isn't the type of food you can learn at a culinary school.
I thought it would be good to learn for the future.
You mean, you're going to operate a restaurant?
If things are hard for Da Mo ssi, I should help out.
I think it's best that the two of you marry on your own first.
And have a baby soon after.
No matter how hard I think about it, that's the only way.
My husband doesn't say it in words.
But he's lived his life thinking he's almost like a God.
He was born into a wealthy family and grew up being called a young master.
Is there anything he's ever failed at?
Even at Eun Sung too. He's expended the subsidiaries by bounds, since the time of his father.
Tens of thousands of employees call him Mr. Chairman and look up to him like he's the sky.
Once he sets his mind on something, nothing is impossible.
He's lived his life full of confidence in that manner.
However this was his first experience.
Though he doesn't show it,
inwardly he is very upset and he's very agonized by this matter.
And not some other person, but his own son.
Intentionally rejecting the will of his parents.
However still, I cannot be so cruel as to make you bleed.
And pull the two of you apart.
So just don't think about making it on your own.
Marry instead.
He's like a man plated by steel, but now he's a man of sixty.
He craves grandchildren.
Once you give birth to a beautiful baby,
I think it will be like how Spring melts the snow.
The conflict will be undone naturally.
It's not that I didn't consider the same as you, Mother.
But for father's sake, I don't think we should.
Later on, when he is truly no longer furious at us,
wouldn't he come to regret belatedly?
I think we should wait a little,
and work harder to show him our earnestness.
I want us to change father's mind in that manner.
Even if his heart still won't change,
just to the point that he can attend our wedding.
If he refuses until the end,
Da Mo ssi would resent him for the rest of his life.
I don't think that is right, between the father and son.
But it also doesn't make sense for us to just live together and have a child, before we really marry.
It's true. What you said is all true.
But for how long?
The days are passing by,
with everyone aging.
It's okay with us.
Da Mo... how much money do you think he has?
I have some money I've earned and saved, so please don't worry too much.
Should any troubles arise, contact me anytime.
Yes.
I'm grateful for your heart.
Oppa, maybe you need to take some tonic.
Your face looks exhausted and weary.
You're telling a western doctor to drink oriental tonic?
Does your father take tonic?
No.
My grandpa loathes oriental tonics, so not at all.
Though with me only, since I was weak as a child, they fed deer antlers to me once.
So, does our young lady sleep well?
Instead of sleeping at night, I sleep more in the morning.
You said you've never once lived in an apartment, right?
Yep.
When you live in an apartment, like ours, though ours is worse because it's not new,
it's going to be quite noisy.
Be prepared for that.
I heard that on the news.
You can hear all the footsteps. It's quite a pest.
Especially at night when you're trying to sleep.
From upstairs...
you can ever hear them peeing.
That bad?
I'm losing interest. It's too severe.
From now on, I will work really hard.
So, that by the time our child is getting older, we'll move to a villa.
From visiting my friends, the newly-built villas, these days, are like palaces.
It's true.
How much would one cost?
Something around 70 pyong (2500 sqft) is probably a little over $2 million dollars, I think.
Though a 70 pyong villa is pretty much like a 50 pyong apartment.
And also,
when the men go and smoke on the decks,
the smell travels from bottom to top.
Then they shouldn't be allowed to smoke.
That's useless. No one listens.
But if I don't sleep well, I can't do anything.
I stopped by mother's.
Don't be startled, Honey.
Buyonggak's real owner...
is sister-in-law.
Which sister-in-law?
Jang Joo Hee sister-in-law?
No way.
No, for real. My brother knew about it all this time.
Da Mo didn't come?
I thought he would be bursting in here all riled up again.
He did come.
Where?
Your father drank alcohol.
Talk tomorrow, okay?
No, I'm fine.
Why do you block my job opportunities, too?
I'm saying I will earn my own living.
Must you go to this extent.
Precisely because you are my child.
If you weren't, I'd just say you were crazy.
For my sake, you say?
Of course!
Your skills? I know them well.
Of course, someone with your skills would be welcomed by any corporation.
So why are you blocking me?
Once I moved out from here, you shouldn't be concerned about me anymore.
And, you've already buried all my assets, too.
I told you. As soon as you end things with her and come home, I'll free them up.
Now, you've even block my work.
Isn't it enough that you object to my marrying?
Go and succeed truly on your own ability.
You ask me why I'm blocking you?
You left home even taking off your watch, didn't you?
Your education and foreign language skills.
That so-called spectrum everyone so desire.
Who do you think got it for you?
Even since you were little, we've hired personal tutors for you in every subject.
Including arts and physical education.
Even native speakers for foreign language teachers.
And that's how you were able to get into the top university in the Republic of Korea.
Do you know how much money we've spent on you?
Just the education cost alone is enormous.
These so-called skills of yours?
In truth, I'm the one who has owership of it. My investment.
So you can only display your skills for my sake.
You always glare at your father with an unhappy scowl.
I don't even expect you to respect me.
But what did I ever do that was so wrong?
I have never strayed once, out of concern for you and for your mother.
With a heart of cultivating good deeds.
If I were to have a child outside the marriage,
which may lead you to rebel,
I kept myself contained and diligent. And, this is my reward?
With a girl of unknown roots, and a gisaeng to make thing worse.
You bring her to me to say this is your daughter-in-law-prospect, Father?
You cannot be like this, as an offspring.
Though there's the adage
that you give birth to your offspring outward, and not inward.
But this still isn't it.
How can you value a girl you've met only a few months ago,
more highly than the parents who raised you?
Does one need the permission of the parents to love?
Like picking out merchandise at the supermarket? "Here, pick one among these."
I did.
I was never an undutiful heir. And as the head of this household,
and as a father, I did my best.
So what exactly is your complaint?
What crime did I commit in my previous life.
That I have to live life getting this grinding treatment.
I am too harsh, you say?
Trying to fix a wrong is being too harsh?
No matter how I try to think from your standpoint,
it was still excessive for you to block my job, too.
Did I ask you to hire those tutors for me?
So I can play flattery with you?
Flattery?
It is flattery.
If you give alms,
you are supposed to do so without any conditions, for anyone.
Don't you lecture me!
During the 29 years, how many of my birthdays did you spend with me?
Looking at the photos, it was once on my first birthday and once on the 8th. Just twice total.
Things like that are supposed to be handled by the mother.
I wasn't going to bring this up.
But you tended to Andre's birthday.
You got the cone hats and sang happy birthday to him.
I didn't have that stuff on my 8th birthday.
My friends came over during the day.
At night, we had a meal at Geum Gang Hotel and that was it.
And you gave me a bike that your secretary bought.
You sure have a good memory.
The baseball pitching you never once did with me...
Sa Ran did it with me.
After she practiced for many days straight on her own. The girl did!
So how am I supposed to not love her?
It's natural that I would fall in love with her and go to her.
That is what I truly want. That kind of effort.
When you love someone, then you put in that effort.
All your life, you've put effort into your company.
Have you ever put in any effort toward the family?
Get out, you punk!
Why are you shouting at him? Startling the kid.
I am embarrassed towards Sa Ran.
If she knew how you treat your own child,
what would Sa Ran say?
She'd say this family is a powdered bean (complete mess).
Fine.
I'm sorry I raised you in a messed up family.
Go and live your life being a great father then.
And I'll see just how great you do.
And I even raised you among luxury...
I will pack all my belongings tomorrow and move out for good.
You won't have to see this ugly face again.
That thing... that thing is an offspring?
That thing is?
Hello?
Are you busy?
No.
I just finished the errand and I'm on my way back.
It sounds like you're walking.
And you never even called all day long.
But I did text you, right?
Your voice doesn't sound well.
Probably because I'm tired.
What did you do to be tired? You bum around.
I know, huh?
You're not in a great mood right now, aren't you?
Come to me and let it out.
Can I really?
Actually, I miss you.
Take a cab and come quickly. I'll pay the cab fare.
I have money today.
Come quickly.
I think maybe I should
go and meet Chairman Ah Soora.
Why?
Ask him to look on our Sa Ran favorably.
Our situation may be like this.
But, as a daughter-in-law-prospect, she is quite flawless.
Don't get involved. Sa Ran wouldn't like it.
I just feel frustrated.
Why is she going back to Buyonggak to learn some cooking?
I'm sure there will be joy at the end of her hardships.
Do you go around eating dinner, at least?
What did you eat?
Job at Doo Seok's company... it fell through because of my father.
My father called and met all my friends yesterday. He told all of them not to accept me.
There's nothing you can do about that.
Don't you think he's too extreme?
And did you go home because of it?
And say some unsavory stuff again?
Then would good words come out?
It's enough that he froze my assets.
I asked him why he blocked me from working to earn money.
And he says my skillsets were cultivated on his money.
So my skillsets belong to him, too.
He says I don't have the freedom to use it how I want.
I am seriously so embarrassed towards you, Honey.
Don't think like that.
I mean, how can this be? What kind of parents do that?
It's all my fault. Don't resent your father.
I had lent some money to a friend who's running an IT company
and today he paid me back.
So I was able to get a lease on the tiniest apartment.
I'm going to move all my stuff out from home.
What about Buyonggak then?
My honey is going there, and I don't go too?
Of course, I'm still going to stick to you even if they give me looks.
What if I hadn't bought the ring in advance, huh?
I almost lost the chance to put a diamond ring on you.
Don't you think you need to reimburse your family for the ring, too?
I bought that with money my grandpa gave me.
Now I'm moneyless and jobless. But you will still love me, right?
My answer.
I was boiling because of my dad.
But now that I look at you, it's subsided.
Think about my situation and don't hold any resentment.
If it were me, I would be grateful no matter what.
Looking at your disposition and nature, Honey...
Your parents must have loved each other passionately.
Either he was in an accident or deceased,
and then your mother's health deteriorated, too.
So, she just couldn't afford to take care of you and had no choice but to send you to a rich family.
She didn't abandon you on purpose.
You don't know that.
I'll take up the role of father and mother for you and spoil you.
So, just don't dump me.
Are you sure you won't just abandon me and go home when you can't last any longer?
You dummy! You still don't know me?!
Don't you say such a thing, even in jest.
I'll treat you to a night-time snack.
You are back already?
Yes.
When did they say to do it?
Well, that...
They said not to pass this month.
Why?
They say we need to do it within this month. Or, there will be a bad occurence.
Bad how?
That I will get hurt severly or ill.
But if we are married, then her pillars will block it.
I'm not sure if we should believe it or not.
Regardless, you should avoid what they say is bad.
I have heard of pillars that protect each other.
Where's Ja?
He went to exercise.
Maybe we should just register our marriage first and live together first?
How can you not have a ceremony?
You should just go ahead and do a ceremony first.
So what was the date they grabbed for you?
They said the 22nd is an auspicious day. Friday.
A traditional wedding doesn't take too much preparation.
For the preparations, you can just hire a wedding company to do it.
Rush it then.
I feel apologetic towards you.
Actually, it's only right that the two of you go first.
The job position, too?
Yes.
Isn't that mister too much? After all, he's still his son.
Then what is Da Mo ssi going to do?
He has a few friends that run smaller companies.
They said he could come work with them.
But the work isn't the issue.
I'm just worried that the father and son are severing their ties too much.
It's something we expected anyway, though.
Just endure through it.
Don't be hasty and ruin the chance of a reward.
There's difficulty to everything.
These books can be thrown away.
Must you go to this length?
Do you think I want to do this? Father is too much.
Don't try to convince him.
Just marry instead. I'll give you the money for it.
With dad's money? Am I crazy?
Not your dad's money. My money!
It's alright.
The villa... she's making no mention of it?
No.
Make some time on Tuesday or Wednesday evening. Go on a marriage meet.
What do you mean go on a marriage meet?
Her family operates two (golf) driving ranges.
I'm told they are willing to purchase a hospital for you if you end up marrying their daughter.
And a house too, of course.
What about Ra Ra then?
We already have a wedding date set.
Some people break off during their honeymoon even.
What do I become to the hospital director then?
So that's why I'm telling you to meet her secretly for now.
If you like her, then Mom will take care of the rest.
She studied business and she's an employee at Jaeil Airlines.
Since she works at an airline company, she must be tall and pretty too.
If you want to nitpick about it, she is better than Ra Ra in every way.
Ra Ra... we thought she was the director's daughter. Who knew she was the brother's.
If we did, we wouldn't have even met with her.
Starting tomorrow, I will be going to a house-building construction site.
You mean, you're going there to work?
Yes.
Isn't that heavy labor? Not everyonecan do that type of work.
Why don't I invest in you, instead. Find some business that is good to run.
Yes, do that.
For now, I think I will do the labor work because of my dad.
He's blocked all my outlets for a company job.
If you do that kind of work, you will end up suffering alone. How would he know about it?
He has all my movements checked.
I'm worried, that you might get hurt.
I won't get hurt. Actually a man should do that work once.
Is your wedding preparation coming along smoothly?
What carat-sized ring is he going to get you?
Nothing big, of course.
Regardless, you are the first to marry, just as we expected, huh?
How come Jin Ahm oppa doesn't even buy us one meal?
He's very busy.
Get your dad to let him leave work a little early.
Hello?
Oppa, are you working late today too?
No, I'm already off work. I have an engagement with my senior alums.
My friends say they want to meet you.
Another time. I think I will end up drinking today.
Alright then.
Don't go home too late.
He has a drinking engagement with senior alums.
I'm hungry. Once Sa Ran gets here, let's go straight to the restaurant.
There's a new restaurant behind the alley.
Oh no. It's raining.
Let's just tell Sa Ran to go straight there.
Thank you. Bye.
Did you call?
You must have traveled extensively abroad.
I work at the corporate end. So, not through work, but I've traveled a lot with my family.
What are your hobbies?
Skin-scuba. I like to be active.
Bloodtype is O. Right?
You're right.
Sa Ran!
Long time, you brat!
This way.
Who gave you the name Mayeo?
My dad did. My nickname has always ben Manyeo (Manyeo = witch).
But you're too pretty to be a witch.
Did your private pledge ceremony go well?
If I were a writer, I'd write a novel about you.
A movie would be better. So dramatic.
It's been too hard on the ones who actually endured through the dramatics.
It's true. I cried right along with her a few times too.
It's going to end in a happy ending for sure.
It's already a happy ending now.
I know what you guys like to eat, so I'll do the ordering.
This place has a nice atmosphere and it's clean.
What's wrong?
The steak is a work of art. Please try this once.
Isn't that Jin Ahm oppa?
Timing and Subtitltes by Team Gisaeng @ Viki.com.
Have you gone on a lot of meetings?
If I had the time for meetings, then I'd rather sleep more.
Your hand is very pretty.
Which year did you graduate?
Why?
Are you a doctor?
No. Do you know her?
Why can't you talk?
We even have a wedding date. August 23rd.
Seriously?
Hapless thing.
Are you sure you're even a doctor?
It's true. He works at my dad's hospital.
Watch out for the night roads.
Was this all you amounted to?
My mom...
Your mom, what?
She told me to come and have a meal with the daughter of her friend.
Our first meeting today.
That's what you call your excuse?
Shattered. Completely. [ Now I know who you are ]
Ra Ra!
I'm going to leave first.
I think he'll just follow you.
Let's talk.
I've got nothing to talk about.
Let's just settle this between us.
I don't want to hear your voice!
Just... don't tell the director about this. Okay?
Why do you live like that (low speech form)?
He was two-timing?
I'm about to become afraid of people.
Seriously?
Yep.
He got himself caught properly.
Jin Ahm, that rascal, is disgracing all men.
You didn't know?
Of course I didn't know.
Because of you, I'm about to get fired from the hospital.
Huh? If the director finds out...
Be quiet.
Mayeo, that girl... she told me to watch out at night.
Just be quiet.
Hello.
Baby, it's me.
Yes, mother.
I heard you met my Dr. Oh at the restaurant.
Actually, a good friend of mine owns a marital match-making company.
She has a female client who is so fickle
and says no to all the matches and is asking for her money back.
She begged me to help, so what can I do?
She said all he needed to do was to meet the girl once.
And that's what happened. So, don't misunderstand.
I see.
We've been friends for 40 years, so I couldn't say no.
Of course.
Our Dr. Oh is just so desired by everyone.
Go ahead and hang up then, please.
Okay. Let's talk again tomorrow, our baby.
Yes.
She's so naive. She just accepts anything she's told.
She believes it?
It's Ra Ra, right?
Son of Eun Sung.
Hello?
What the heck are you?
Oh, that...
You meet some other woman right before the wedding?
Somehow it got that way.
What somehow? I heard it from Sa Ran already.
I'll take care of it, so just don't fan the fire.
Are you sure you are my friend?
When is the wallpaper getting plastered?
The day after tomorrow. They said it only takes 2 days.
Change the furniture and everything.
Yes.
It's only 8 days away.
Indeed.
There isn't a lot to prepare anyway.
Was Sa Ran nuna there too today?
How are things going for her?
Chairman Ah even blocked him from entering his friend's company,
so he's starting construction work tomorrow.
Manual labor?
It's one thing if he's blocking him, but why is he doing that?
What if he gets hurt?
He's also suspended all his accounts and cards, so he's without any money.
Sa Ran is so pitiful.
Even if she gets his approval, she's not going to be treated with love there.
Dad, I am going to have to backout from the marriage.
What is this talk now?
Why?
He was eating dinner with some other woman.
Jin Ahm did?
Yes.
Must be his relative or something.
She was a match-date. I verified it with the woman.
How could he do that?
Must have been a joke.
Am I a dummy? All my friends witnessed it too.
The girl was also so outraged that she told him to watch out for night roads and took off.
To future-brother-in-law?
Yep.
But someone like you would know that about him.
He deceived me without a tremble in his voice.
He told me he was with his alums and I believed him...
But I went to the restaurant and he was with a woman, sitting tenderly, eating a meal.
Even slicing her meat for her. I had completely misjudged him.
Why is my luck so bad this year?
I thought the bad streak was over.
I feel like I should sue him or something.
Stop there. Don't go that far. Just think of it as having been bitten by a crazy dog.
Not exactly bit. Just stepped on.
Just accept his resignation letter.
I shall do that.
Mr. Chairman. Your son and Dan Sa Ran moved back into Buyonggak.
Why?
Sa Ran ssi is teaching dance lessons and your son, I believe, is just tagging along.
He probably ran out of money for hotel.
See if Buyonggak's chief madame can meet me for lunch tomorrow.
I think it would be better if you met her at your home.
Or, else it may lead to some gossip.
Alright. Yes.
The mister is trying to manipulate me too?
Meet her and what?
Tell her to kick him out, of course.
We have to make it so that he has no place to go.
What is this?
Night-time snack for you.
I made all this myself.
To get you to gain some weight.
Only I eat?
I can't gain weight.
I will eat it well.
It's delicious!
It's nice that I'm learning to cook, huh?
Yep.
If it weren't for the warm weather, I'd pack you a bento box for tomorrow.
The ahjussi's there will just look at me annoyed.
For me, I think I'd rather that you just help out the friend who is running the game business.
In part, I'm doing this to show my father.
But I'm too riled up myself, so I'm doing it for me too.
At this rate, I might get myself ill.
They say if you do physical labor, you won't have worries.
I don't want to think about my dad.
It's too bad about what happened to Ra Ra.
That Jin Ahm punk.
Don't hang out with him. You'll get tainted.
He wasn't like that when we were in high school.
Hello?
When do you want to go pick out the bed? Tomorrow works for me.
Not going.
Why... you're going to order it online?
You need to see it with your own eyes.
I'm not getting married.
Why?
Hear it from Grandma. I'm tired.
What the heck happened?
The phone is off. Once you're connected to the voice message, upon the beep...
Hello?
Sohn Ja, did something happened to Ra Ra nuna?
She says she's not marrying.
Jin Ahm hyung... She saw him meeting some other girl today.
It turns out it was a marital match-date.
What?!
That hoodlum of a punk.
You know what? It's for the better!
What time is it?
Five'o clock.
Work hard.
Yes.
Why did you get up?
To send you off, of course.
Stay here well, and don't worry.
This is green tea I froze.
If it's hard, then come back right away, okay?
Yes.
Go.
I'll go work hard and bring money back.

Sue them! It's such a big financial and psychological loss to us.
We just need to wash our feet and that's it.
Just bear the mishap for a greater reward in the future.
What was the girl he was seeing like? Did she look rich or not?
She looks rich.
Wow, he's a guy who strays even before marrying.
Think how bad he would be after he marries.
Think of it as a blessing, that you found out beforehand.
A match-date means, Mother-in-law, that they were looking for a better match.
That's right! Last time, I told her I'm the real mom.
Since you're not the real daughter, but the niece,
they're worried about the future.
So, that's why...
Now it makes sense.
Why are human beings so greedy?
I'll go meet them and curse their head off.
What the heck happened?
I am sorry.
Ra Ra misunderstood.
I only ate a meal because I was doing a favor for my mom's friend.
You are someone idle enough to go around eating meals, as a favor for your mother's friend?
If you have time for something like that,
you should be helping Ra Ra with the wedding preparations.
I ate so well, Madame.
It's so lacking, compared to Buyonggak cuisine.
No.
Please have some.
Yes.
Since it's hot, the number of your guests are diminished, right?
Yes, it's the season of exodus from the heat.
You're not going to vacation anywhere?
I go when people don't go.
Madame Oh, why did you accept the kids again?
If you can, please send them away. Our Da Mo.
How could I do that? He has nowhere to go.
He rented a place.
The place is stuffed full with his belongings.
Plus, he doesn't really have all the apertures necessary for a meal, either.
It's still a no, even if I am the one pleading with you?
Actually, I'd like to make a plea with you too.
It's already so hard just watching them. Imagine how hard it is for the two of them.
It's because they are being stubborn.
One can only grab ahold of something that has a form.
The heart of a person is shapeless. And, one can't control what is shapeless.
Couldn't you just give them your blessing, Mr. Chairman?
Of course not, for certain.
The saying that even if mud gets into the eyes...
This time, I am the one who feels that thoroughly.
A long time ago,
a colleague of mine
fell in love with a young man from a household of fish and salt (rich).
But the man's family objected to her.
One day the man said
he would pour gasoline on himself and commit suicide if they wouldn't approve.
And his parents said go ahead.
So he poured petroleum on himself right there. And, then set himself on fire.
Oh my!
So then? Did he die?
He was left with a severe scald on his face.
In the end, the two of them married.
But the price they paid was too severe,
even though they are still living with each other with love.
When his parents were dying, they were remorseful.
Imagine how gravely their hearts ached each time they looked at their son.
Our Da Mo isn't someone who would ever do that.
He cherishes his own body so much.
Even if I were to kick him out, it's useless.
He has many friends from high school, who run small businesses,
wanting to help him.
I can order tea here, right?
Yes.
Coffee, please.
Two glasses, please.
It's too cold here. Can't you turn down the AC?
I understand.
They are too wasteful, for being in a country that doesn't produce a drop of gasoline, no?
My problem is that I am too soft-hearted.
If someone asks me for help, I just can't say no.
Mom... here... learned a lot.
But it seems our baby is still unhappy. You really shouldn't worry about it.
Before I came to meet you, I cancelled the wedding ceremony hall.
Why?
Why is our baby so reckless?
I cannot accept a lie, under any circumstance.
That is not right. It's how I was raised.
Yesterday, Oppa said it was the daughter of your friend.
So they just ate a meal together.
But you claim she's the client at a matchmaking company
and he met her as a favor to the president.
Either Oppa lied a second time,
or you lied.
Or both you and Oppa are deceiving me.
We just don't want you to worry for no reason.
If you were in my place, what would you think?
My friends said they wanted to see him.
So, I called and he tells me he's with his senior alums.
But when my friends and I arrive at the restaurant,
we see him cutting a woman's meat and feeding her.
How would you have felt, if it were you, Mother?
In life, there are worse things.
I've made my decision already.
Just hear me out a little first.
That's enough.
The truth I witnessed yersterday is plenty enough.
The woman was so outraged that she stood up and left.
If your son does something like that, you should be the one stopping him,
but you orchestrated it?
It's true. It's my fault. I did wrong.
Resent me and take it out on me. But, forgive Jin Ahm.
I will have no reason to see him again.
You said okay yesterday.
I've already told my family. This matter is done.
Is marriage a joke?
That's what I want to say.
He lies without a tremble in his voice, as he goes on a date with another woman, just before our wedding?
Because getting married is just a joke?
People have affairs all the time.
Just eating a meal is enough for you to chew us up like this?
I'm chewining you, you say?
You also could meet a man, over work.
You could end up with neurosis at this rate.
Let's just get to the bottom line. You want out, right?
Yes.
You're not going to regret?
A woman with words already spread about her pending marriage.
I don't care. It's not like we dated long.
Fine then. I'll talk to the director myself,
but you will have to pay us consolation alimony, right?
Alimony?
Is what you're saying for real?
Mr. Chairman.
What?
What is this?
Starting today, he's working at a construction site.
How... ?!
It's all right.
What is alright about it? Quit.
My body just needs to get used to it.
How much do the veteran workers there get per day?
The highest paid worker gets something like $200.
Then how much is that for a month? $6,000?!
But there isn't work daily. The weekends are off too.
The weather is said to be good for the day after tomorrow.
These days it's strangely cool for July.
The heavens are on your side.
Since it's a traditional wedding, it would be so hard if it were to swelter.
It's true.
Make sure you run a cold towel on your face tomorrow.
Yes.
Dear husband, tomorrow, our son is marrying Soon Deok.
You don't even come to see me in my dreams once.
Our sister-in-law-to-be here should go compete in a baby-faced pageant.
If you get bangs and go out wearing a kid's T-shirt, people would think you were a grade-schooler.
It's true.
But my voice is old.
You can make a voice.
"Hello. I'm Dan Gong Joo. "Try that.
Unnie, he's rather cute, no?
Try it.
Hello. I'm Dan Gong Joo.
Oh.
A gift?
Something small.
Aigo, what money does Mr. President here have?
Omo...
This is expensive though. It's designer.
Try it on.

It's pretty.
Thank you.
From us, just some spending money.
Give it to me next year, instead.
Take it.
Thank you.
But you don't say you don't want it, huh?
The place I rent out...
the husband is being assigned to the countryside suddenly.
So they're going to move out next week.
You should move and live there, hyung.
For as long as your nuna here lives at Buyonggak,
I am going to stay there too.
But, thank you, for thinking of me.
Then, I'll just keep it vacant for awhile.
Ra Ra says she's still going to move into the place she leased to live.
So you should just rent it out on a monthly lease, again.
$1,200 is a lot of money.
It's true.
Is Ra Ra unnie okay?
Yeah.
She seems calm, on the outside.
It's possible that she could be calm outwardly, but suffering inwardly.
Does it make sense that Oh Jin Ahm's mom actually asked for consolation alimony?
I'm not going to acknowledge him from now on.
That rascal is a total mamaboy.
She pushed for alimony on purpose so that her son wouldn't be fired from the hospital.
Let's make sure we never live like them.
Even if someone gave me a million I couldn't do that.
Maybe I should tell Sa Ran to live here, after they are married.
Hello?
Have you finished packing?
You didn't pack pajamas, right?
You told me not to, right?
Yes.
How do you feel?
Alright.
If you don't think you can sleep, then drink some wine.
I don't have any alcohol.
I've emptied all the food.
Maybe I should tell our chauffeur to bring it to you.
No, I'll be able to sleep.
If you can't, then call me.
And if I call?
I'll sing a lullaby to you.
Do you know how to sing one?
How does it go again?
Sing it.
Sleep well, our baby.
The front garden and the back hill...
I'm going to hang up.
Wait.
Our...
We never got to sing her a lullaby, even once.
Have you ever dashed on a horse?
Only when the horse decides to run.
That's still quite impressive, for a woman.
Nuna looks totally dashing on it.
I ride at Gold Shade.
Go and ride my horse.
Can I do that?
Sure.
I'll call them to let them know.
Sohn Ja, you should learn too. You can afford it.
Son chaebol.
Now he's Keum chaebol.
Did they register you in their geneology officially?
Yes.
So...
Keumja.
Yes.
Don't laugh.
If it's strange, change your name.
I don't want to.
Why would I change the name my mom gave me?
Your name is something too, Nuna.
That's right.
What do you think my nickname was growing up?
Not sure.
My friends call me Sseun (bitter) Gong Joo (princess).
I'll get a really good groom-prospect ready for you, for when you graduate.
So you should just marry right away.
And not work?
What's so great about getting worldly dregs on?
It's true. I've got too much worldly dregs on me.
But, with you, since your nature is so bright, no dregs can darken you.
Concoction.
Really!
Neat, elegant and pure.
That is my honey's image.
Do you know what your image is?
It's probably not good.
You guys try it.
The first time I saw him...
like a young noble.
She's insulting me.
What does the bride do?
Really!!!!
Alright.
Yes.
Mr. Kim called.
Director Geum's getting married tomorrow.
Really?
He's only divorced not long ago. He's already remarrying?
Where?
Mr. Kim said he just found out too.
At Mirae Hotel.
You're not going?
They didn't invite me, so how should I go?
I'll have Mr. Kim stop by.
The bride...
used to be Buyonggak's head chef.
It's the truth.
Even a man like Director Geum...
is marrying a Buyonggak chef.
They say all roads lead to Rome. But why is everyone connected to Buyonggak?
Sa Ran's stepmom, Buyonggak too.
But she quit there.
And Sa Ran, a gisaeng there.
Sa Ran quit too.
Even Da Mo entered there.
But Director Geum is marrying a Buyonggak chef too?
Soorim Foundation's Madame Moon told me this.
Ra Ra's mom moved into Buyonggak too.
She's the actual owner of that place.
Ra Ra's mom is?
Madame Moon went there with her husband and another couple for dinner, and saw her there.
She asked her why she was there and she told her.
Oh my.
Even if she is the real owner, why did she move in?
Does that really work?
It makes the skin moist.
Sister-in-law.
She must feel so tortured right now.
She acted like she was mighty and kicked her fortune away.
But Ra Ra... she raised her well though.
She should've done a good job until the end.
Those guys are marrying in the middle of the summer.
If it weren't for that, I'd be traveling around Northern Europe.
With Ra Ra.
Ra Ra... hurry and find her a good prospect.
She says she has no desire to marry for now.
She's lost interest in human kind, I think.
Ack.
Are you going to the wedding tomorrow?
No.
Why?
I heard that everyone here will be in attendance.
Ra Ra didn't invite you?
She said she'll leave it up to me.
Those girls... their hair.
What do you think of it?
Why?
They should just put it up simply. What is that?
The two of them are still chummy like before?
Yep.
They're just wasting time.
What if it's a miss again?
They won't break up, no matter what. You'll see.
Have you ever seen celebs actually marry after they've dated so publicly?
A man and a woman, while it's hot...
while they're mad about each other is when they should marry.
Dragging it out has no benefits.
Let's go.
Yes.
Mother says you should come too.
Hello.
Oh, Sa Ran! Long time no see.
And your health is well, right?
Yes.
I hear you've gone through a lot.
Yes.
Our Ra Ra too.
Why are things so twisted for everyone?
Where's Madame Oh?
She ran into some acquaintances by the entrance.
Sit down.
One, two.
Congratulation.
You look so compatible.
Thank you.
You are truly a new bride.
Aren't you nervous?
I'm not nervous, but...
I'm excited.
Please make Soon Deok happy.
Yes.
You needn't worry.
Unnie, let's take a picture together.
Yup, we should.
Smile, please.
One, two.
My mom?
She's just there, composed.
Later, I'm going to come to Buyonggak.
To see your mom?
Yup.
We are about to start the ceremony.
The precious guests that are here, please come forth to witness.
Bow. The bride to bow twice first.
Brought to you by Gisaeng team @ Viki.com.
Omo, omo. Michelle?
Hyo Ri!
Omo. Where's Yeon Sang?
Just me. Yeon Sang is at our home.
Kang San?
Yup. Yeon Sang's dad.
Daddy.
Hello. I'm your future daughter-in-law.
Oh.
What have you been up to?
Giving lessons and I've learned this and that.
Isn't our Andre lovely?
Yes.
Cats do lovely things too.
You've never heard of Ggookggokgi?
The cat does massages.
Oh. It's true.
Where should we go? We need to commemorate today.
Are you that happy?
Do you even need to ask?
Unnie's getting married. With brother-in-law.
They called?
Yep.
They're going to go grab a date tomorrow. And they plan to marry as soon as possible.
