New Tales of Gisaeng
Episode 42
I've fallen for you, Ra Ra.
I'm just kidding. Oh Bong told me that he wants to learn English, too.
But as you know, he can't join in with the other ladies when they are studying.
So because of this and that, I moved in.
And I get to eat delicious Buyonggak food everyday.
Yes.
Why did you enter Buyonggak, Ra Ra?
There were a lot of events that led to it.
There was one man
that I really loved, you see.
I gave up college and got a job to support him, and even paid his tuition.
But as soon as he got a job, he started dating another woman.
It's a good thing you broke up with that kind of a man.
I'm just kidding.
I want to be someone like President Oh.
You must have lived in Korea a long time.
A fair amount of time. My stepmother is Korean.
I've grown fond of it here and can't seem to leave.
Koreans are full of affection, aren't they?
Yes.
Unnie, Director's asking for you.
May I borrow it?
What about dinner?
I was just about to eat.
What?
Why are you eating that kind of stuff?
Come here!
What's with the "come here!"
Then?
You should say, "Please come, Nuna."
You even made the dipping sauce?
Wrap the mackerel in the lettuce, with the sauce.
Does Ja like it?
Yeah.
Why?
I gave it a lot of thought these past two days.
I really think we're perfect for each other.
Are you starting this again?
Nuna, are you firm on staying single forever?
If I could, I want to remain single.
Your family isn't going to let you stay single forever.
Then a husband-prospect that suits you is me only.
You're not even making me laugh.
Your brother-in-law said he was going to introduce someone good to you.
Were you waiting for that?
Am I a materialistic snob?
And I can't stand men who grew up so posh like a prince.
That's what I'm saying. And your homemaking skills are zero, too.
So let's look at it objectively.
You aren't interested in getting married.
But, your family will never let you stay single forever.
So you'll have to force yourself to live with a guy from the picks of your family.
Can you live like that?
It's impossible, right?
That's why I'm telling you. I'm the only one for you.
Do you feel something different towards me than you do for other people?
At some point I did.
Like you, I didn't realize it either.
But since we've been apart,
I keep thinking about you. And, I keep being haunted by the image of you.
I was missing you.
It's because we've seen each other for ten years.
You miss friends when you don't see them, too.
What are you doing?
You don't dislike it, do you?
They say you can't live with a man whose touch you don't like.
There isn't anything good about it either. I don't feel anything.
I like it.
And I feel sparks sometimes, too.
Great job you do.
You aren't normal.
I'm not too lacking as husband-material either, am I?
I have a house and two shop quarters.
Even though I don't have a mother, I have a father.
I conduct myself pretty nicely too.
Nuna,
Let's get engaged.
Yes?
Is "engage" something you should say so carelessly?
If my mom found out, she'd be jumping up and down.
Just think about your heart only.
You're comfortable with me and all.
Because you're like a younger brother.
To be honest, you felt a sense of emptiness after I moved out, right?
I know.
You don't feel the same as I do yet.
But if you think about it, you'll feel that we're a good fit for each other.
I'm not going to answer your calls anymore.
So, if you need to communicate, call my mother.
I call you "nuna".
But I'm actually the one who looked after you all these years, from one to ten.
No?
The Dan Gong Joo I know can't live by herself.
Why? Because she's afraid of thunderstorms.
If you live alone, you might end up with a heart attack.
We've grown quite attached over the years.
And we've made lots of fond memories together.
Right?
Don't you want to test it once?
If you feel whether or not I'm a guy.
What are you planning to do?
Let's hold each other once.
You are really nuts.
For sure, we are a match made in Heaven. I'm sure of it.
Don't forget to put on the lock.
Wait...
I made this for you as a birthday present. But I'll give it to you now.
Since I'm not going to see you again.
I didn't wrap it.
Look at it later.
Thanks.
Didn't you see your text message?
What text message?
That I wanted to eat ice cream.
Are you drunk?
What ice cream?
You could have even asked an employee to buy it.
I hired my employees to do company work.
I didn't hire them to do my personal errands.
You're so thoughtless sometimes.
Turn it off.
Father,
Andre, that isn't for you to eat.
Don't lick your lips.
Strangely it's so smooth to the mouth.
Was the door open?
Mr. Kim did.
How do you do?
Ice cream.
Thanks.
You bought ice cream?
Yes.
Do you want to give me some, too?
Yes.
Andre, do you like it being home again?
Is the work manageable?
It isn't even work for me.
Compared to Eun Sung, it's like a hole in the wall.
Mother,
You don't like ice cream very much though.
Now that I'm getting older, I crave these kinds of things. Sweet things.
I was wanting to eat ice cream.
And, thanks to my son, I get to.
Did Andre get a bath this week?
Yes.
Andre, let's go in.
Is it good?
Text me whatever you feel like eating.
Why that childish boy.
Getting ready for bed?
What are you going to do with the walnuts?
To eat tomorrow morning.
Your father-in-law doesn't like walnuts.
We'll eat them.
Mother, have some.
They won't make you gain weight and they're good for you.
Mother,
Is there a celebrity that you like?
No.
Think about it, a singer or actor?
Why?
To make Father jealous.
In front of Father, while watching a drama,
compliment him (celebrity), saying he's handsome.
Then without a doubt, he'll feel jealous.
Do you think so?
Andre,
Talking to you like this,
Dad's stresses are all gone.
See Sa Ran's behavior?
Feeding ice cream to her husband, in front of her father-in-law?
Is that doing well?
She grew up without learning properly.
It's nice to be affectionate.
But, not being discreet in front of elders, what is that?
What are you going to watch?
I wanted to see if a drama with the actor I like is on.
Who do you like?
There is someone.
Who is it?
An actor named Jang Hyuk.
Yes.
How old is he?
A little over 30, I guess.
He's coming on!
What are you thinking so deep that you didn't even notice a person coming?
Oh, you're here?
That's Jang Hyuk?
You think he's good-looking?
He is good-looking!
What is your eye-sight number?
Be quiet!
Watch out there.
If it were me, I'd read another book.
Books are books, and dramas are dramas.
I said to go out and watch it.
She's seriously going out to watch it?
She's aging backwards, doing things she's never done before.
What's so good about a skinny face?
SNG's mid-term evaluation.
Honey, you don't watch TV like other people.
There aren't any good dramas on these days.
I saw on the internet about a drama with high-ratings.
Women like watching dramas usually because they like the actors in it.
Really?
Who do you like, Dear?
You don't need to know.
Who is it?
You're saying there is someone then, aren't you?
Of course there is.
Are you really going to make me ask you three times?
A finicky handsome man called Ah Da Mo.
I won't be jealous, tell me honestly.
Really.
Up until now, I've never liked any celebrities.
Even singers?
I like a song here and there. But does that mean I have to like the singers?
I haven't liked a single female celebrity either.
Let's keep our hearts and minds just as they are now.
Yes.
I'll give you a foot massage.
No, I'll give you one.
You go out and work. So, this is just basic service for you.
Did you stay at home and just play?
Then just for five minutes.
Later, on a day when I'm really tired.
Nuna.
Let's get engaged.
Raise me to be your husband, it'll be beneficial.
Thank you so much for the cushion. I'm touched.
What are you doing?
Don't cross over here.
Did I do something wrong?
Women who are engrossed in dramas are pathetic and I don't like them.
Alright.
I don't like men who like sports programs.
Sports programs are good for mental health.
Dramas just make people weep for no reason.
A psychology doctor came out once and said,
Watching those and crying now and then
is really good for your mental health.
Catharsis. And cleansing.
Catharsis means cleansing, you know.
Did I say it wasn't? Such a fault-finder.
The rascal that looks like a dried pollack. What do you like so much about him?
He's dashing.
Not an ounce of flab on his body.
And I have flab?
Your belly fat isn't flab?
Who are you, so incessantly, talking rudely to?
I was talking to myself.
The hag should just age gracefully instead.
The hag?
How am I a hag?
Where are you going?
To go ask the kids.
That silly fool!
Cha Ra Ri! Cha Ra Ri!
Hey, Ra Ri!
Stop making such a big fool of yourself!
Are you out of your mind?
What are the kids going to think?
What do you mean what? They'd assess it correctly.
In the middle of the night like this...
Is it something so important to go waking up the kids?
We're still up. Would they be sleeping yet?
They're honeymooners.
Take it back.
How could you pull my hair?!
Look how you run to extremes.
You're even pulling my hair!!
What do you mean I pulled it?
I was trying to stop you and I accidentally grabbed it.
Why are you crying?
I'm upset and so sad.
Are you going to embarrass yourself?
Yeah, I'm going to!
This broad!
"This broad?"
Are you in your right mind?
Calm down. I won't calm down!
Your liver's gone abroad, I see. [ You're fearless ]
If you don't calm down on the count of three,
I'm going to make the kids move back to the apartment.
What do my eyes have to do with the kids?
The kids are the ones pumping you up.
You think I don't know?
One, two...
two and a half...
"Men are the sky and women are the ground."
Who are you raising your voice to?
Try messing with me like this again.
Come and sleep.
It's only because it's me that has put up with you.
If it was any other man, he would have cheated a dozen times already.
What did I ever do wrong?
I did (informal speech)?
I did (formal speech).
Who is it?
I'm embarrassed, please let go.
I'll just escort you to the building.
I heard dance gisaengs don't usually drink very much.
Director's very fond of me. So,
she wants me to become a senior gisaeng quickly.
Please take me over by the rattan tree.
I need to sober up a little.
I can't sleep feeling so awful.
I'm sad.
Why?
They all gang up together
to make me an outcast.
They don't help me at all when I'm drunk.
They drink honey tea by themselves.
Why would they exclude pretty Ra Ra like that?
Am I pretty?
You're really beautiful.
To use Korean terms, your beauty is blinding.
Really?
Don't you look in a mirror?
Then, why don't men like me?
Men don't like you?
That's because you're so pretty.
They assume that you're dating someone.
Do you really think that is the case?
I...
can't receive love.
Even at home...
And here at Buyonggak.
Wait just a minute.
I'll go make some honey tea.
I...
more than honey tea...
am starving for words.
Dialogue.
Manager.
Yes?
I want to make some honey tea. Where is it?
I'll make it for you.
Hey, Sujin!
Yes?
This is for Ra Ra.
She had a lot to drink.
Yes.
Where's Ra Ra?
Washing up in the bathroom.
It's tough on us to put on the evil act too.
I wish she would just give up and leave.
I know.
You said that Father always has rice in the morning, so I made rice for him.
Mother,
Broccoli aren't tasty.
But they prevent cancer and is full of calcium, iron, magnesium and vitamins B and C.
I heard that it was good for you.
And yams are full of fiber. Thus, they are good for the bowel movement.
And these walnuts have unsaturated fatty acids.
They say it rids the body of bad cholesterol.
Cleansing of the blood?
Yes.
And they prevent aging, as well as being good for the heart and the lungs.
I'll eat it well.
Eat with us.
Yes, do.
I'm cooking some scorched-rice water.
Why isn't she giving me anything that's good for the body?
You don't like walnuts though.
When did I say that?
You did last time, on New Year's, during the full moon.
I asked you to eat some, but you said no. You said they don't taste good.
Tomorrow, try giving Father the same thing.
He'll eat them, acting like he can't win you.
Tomorrow, I'll cook tomatoes, that are preventive against prostate cancer.
I just love being married.
Because I prepare nutritional food for you?
That is a lot! Health is most important.
I have to be healthy, to make my wife happy too.
That sounds so altruistic.
No.
Look at my expression. The expression of happiness.
I can't tell.
I know, I know. I feel it.
What?
Why did you pinch me?
Because I'm happy, too.
Why did you say that I always had to eat rice?
Because that's the truth.
Who said I wanted to eat it boringly for 12 months of the year?
You like rice, too.
You are of no help to me.
You don't say what you should say.
And you say what doesn't need to be said.
Should I tell her to set out the same meals, then?
Never mind.
That Sa Ran knows a lot.
So there are probably lots of things she wants to eat.
Mother,
I'm thinking something that's farfetched.
Thinking of what?
That perhaps Sa Ran, with her so deeply tied to us...
I keep feeling...
what if she is the child we lost.
We thought that once before as well. But it isn't so.
What made you think that?
Mother,
Today...
Send a text that Andre's snacks have run out, to Father.
He'll probably buy Andre's.
That's what I'm saying.
If you mention that, won't Father feel a little sorry about it?
Not today, but at another decent time.
I understand your heart.
But our Chairman's spirit is so fierce
that nothing we try will work.
A true old-fashioned man.
Completely patriarchal.
He still cites often that men are the sky and women are the ground.
Da Mo was a little like that too, but he changed.
For now, please just try sending the text message.
After five o'clock.
I heard you're suffering internally (intestinally).
Yeah.
Are you going to the doctor's?
Going to buy some porridge to eat.
Why don't you ask them to make you some?
Vegetable porridge, please.
Make that two, please.
Yes, sir.
I'll eat with you.
Why? Did you not eat breakfast?
I did eat.
But for you to eat alone...
You probably don't have much of an appetite either.
If you ask the kitchen, they'd probably make you a delicious porridge.
They won't.
They make it for others who are hung over.
But not for me.
Why not?
I told you. They treat me like an outcast. The kitchen people too.
There must be a reason.
There is.
Never mind.
Tell me.
I'll pay you.
Could you take my side?
Even without the pay, I'll take your side.
Not just any side,
with your actions.
When I'm sick, buy me medicine.
You probably can't do that, can you?
Like a bodyguard?
More than a bodyguard. A manager?
I'll do it. Like a part-time job.
Really?
What's so hard about that?
If you ask me to drink (alcohol) in your stead, I will.
That's not really something possible.
I'm not joking.
Neither am I.
I'll definitely do it.
Secretary, manager, bodyguard.
It's hot.
This isn't how vegetable porridge is made.
If you want to do it properly, you should blanch some spinach slightly and put it in.
What's wrong?
I really
don't know why I'm getting treated so badly by people.
It is probably because you are so pretty.
They are all jealous.
I'm not going to let anything bring me down. And, I'm going to get through everything.
Did you drink the honey tea yesterday?
No, I didn't.
Sujin didn't give it to you?
No.
I asked her to give it to you.
See what I mean?
They make my living bitter without losing anything to themselves.
These gisaeng sisters are all good people though...
I must be an idiot. Not to recognize that they're treating me well.
That's not what I meant.
You don't have any dress shoes, do you?
I don't really have reason to wear dress shoes.
You never know.
Don't drink that, there's ice in it.
What all do I need to do?
First, just eat with me.
Then what?
Are you not well?
I think it's the beginning of menopause.
I'm getting hot flashes.
Do you have any good news?
What kind of good news?
Han Soon Deok is still young,
she could have a baby still.
What baby, with Ra Ra being like that?
Don't even bring it up.
Instructor Kyle, you should sit over here.
I want to eat here.
Ah, okay...
Some soup.
Enjoy.
Starting today, I got a job as Ra Ra's secretary, bodyguard, and manager.
Please look favorably on me.
Uhh, would a manager have anything to do since she isn't a celebrity or anything.
To state things simply, it's to take care of Ra Ra, with this and that.
And make honey tea for...
Cha Ra Ri.
What am I to do?
Sa Ran is out.
And we ran out of Andre's snacks.
Could you buy some?
No one looks after her and everyone makes her an outcast.
She must have been sad and told Kyle about it.
Should I explain to him and ask him to stay out of it?
But what if he goes and tells Ra Ra about it?
So, tell him not to say anything.
No, he could just tell her anyway, for her sake.
Just keep watch for now.
There is only so much that Kyle can do for her.
How do I look?
You look like a pimp.
Let's go eat lobster. I'll treat you in grand fashion.
You look dashing without spending money.
Aren't I?
Should I sell off one of the shop quarters and buy a car? So I can drive you around?
How old are you?
I'm twenty years old.
But you're making up your mind to get married?
Because if I don't make up my mind now, I might miss you.
If we could get properly engaged now...
no, people divorce too these days, so engagement is useless.
Since I'm capable enough.
We can actually marry anytime, if we wanted to, right?
I have a 32 pyong apartment and shop quarters that have rent coming in to me.
Are they the result of your abilities?
It's because of your deceased grandmother and mother.
Regardless...
You grew up calling my mom, "Auntie, auntie"
But will you be able to call her mother-in-law?
Of course. She's not my real aunt. Why not?
If they knew you were being like this,
all the adults, your family, my family will be shocked and disappointed.
You should be studying and getting your life started. You're not at the age to be getting married.
I can't study if I get married?
I'll definitely show you my ability.
Let's not talk about this anymore.
Getting married is better.
Look at my dad. At his age, he's got a grown daughter like Ra Ra nuna.
Oh my god!
That's right!
They say you can't avoid your pillars of fate. I've inherited my father's fate.
My dad got married early, when he was just a student.
And my mother was three years older, and you're two.
Don't appear in front of me starting tomorrow.
Just one more thing.
If you were to get married, do you think you could live with a man, other than me?
Enjoy your meal.
Thanks.
If you have to marry anyway in life, wouldn't I be the better option, to marry with?
I think I'm going to get indigestion.
Alright, alright!
Eat up.
To be honest, I find your cooking the most delicious.
I just come here once in a while for the atmosphere.
I don't feel so great these days because of the whole Ra Ra issue.
Just trust Sa Ran and wait.
I'm okay with it,
so meet up with Ra Ra's mother once in a while.
Why?
You didn't end on bad terms. And there isn't any reason not to see her.
There isn't any reason not to see her, but
what do we have to talk about if I were to see her?
Don't you worry about her?
To be honest I don't have the time to worry about her.
With the hospital, plus we can't even find our child.
Do you think our child longs for her parents, too?
She doesn't know the circumstances. So, she might just resent us for abandoning her.
I think it's true that the clothes makes the person.
Even I can see that I look like a model when I'm decked out like this.
How much did you pay?
I don't buy these kind of clothes with my own money.
My stepmother did.
What do you mean by stepmother?
But she isn't my real mother though.
But she isn't a stepmom either.
Just call her Mom.
I told you that Sa Ran called my mom, 'Stepmom, Stepmom' and I didn't really like it.
I'll go up and have a cup of coffee before I go.
We had some at the restaurant. Why drink more?
Because the lobster was a little salty,
I'm kinda thirsty.
Get something at the supermarket on your way.
Let's be together just a little longer.
Today is the end of you seeing me.
If you show your face around me starting tomorrow, just know you'll get beaten.
Great!
My mom said that because you love someone, you hit that person with love.
Hit me a lot, please!
Go.
Nuna.
Nuna!
Let's go look at cars tomorrow!
You'll answer your phone?
Oh my, what's up?
What do you mean why? This is my home too.
Were you at the hospital until now?
No.
Did you have a fight with brother-in-law?
No.
I brought some side dishes over.
You should have called. Then, I would have come home early.
Did you buy some clothes for Ja?
Everything looks good on that rascal.
In the end, we'll live life leaning on Ja.
Ra Ra will end up marrying and living with her in-laws eventually.
That's why I was thinking...
Maybe I should get him a car.
That's too expensive!
Even if it's expensive.
I feel so refreshed.
What did you eat?
Lobster.
Lobster?
That expensive stuff?
Sohn Ja, I mean Geum Ja bought it for me.
You're older than him. But you have him buying food for you all the time?
It isn't every day.
If brother-in-law asks you to meet someone, would you do it?
How could I meet someone in the state that I'm in?
There's a friend of his, who's the son of Shin-Gwang Medicines.
He saw you at the wedding and wants to meet you.
Isn't he a pervert?
He sees me as a woman?
He likes the cute style, such as you.
I don't want to. It's too much pressure.
Are you thinking of getting married or not?
Not.
Why not?
Unnie, are you able to live with brother-in-law without any troubles?
If you love someone, you will live together fine, naturally.
I'm not attracted to men.
There's just no attraction.
I was just like you, too.
But since we were fated, I found myself pulled to him.
It's very strange.
And mom keeps saying that I have to get married.
You see,
if a woman remains unmarried, she can't even complain about being seduced.
And you have a pretty face and you look young.
And when you get older, do you think only single men will make their moves on you?
You hear about how the married men hit on the single women a lot.
Even if you have a career, it's better if you are married.
To a good and genuine guy.
Someone like Sohn Ja is perfect.
In what way?
He's attentive.
He isn't gross.
And the kid is trustworthy.
And he complements you, above all else.
What do you mean complement?
You guys complement each other well, actually.
There are lots of cases where real siblings fight so ugly, even among my friends.
He is a good kid.
Someone reliable like Sohn Ja is rare.
He's smart.
And including his inheritance.
And there is no mother-in-law or sister-in-law to make your life miserable.
What do you mean?
There's Ra Ra and a father and mother and everything now.
Those people didn't raise him from when he was little.
And he isn't in a position where he needs a lot from them.
They can't be harsh with a daughter-in-law.
I wish there was a guy like Sohn Ja who was a few years older than you.
Is it brother-in-law?
Yeah.
Hello.
Should we sleep here tonight?
Father-in-law wouldn't be pleased.
Ice cream.
You really won't be scared?
If I were scared, I'd stay at the hospital.
How could you let his snacks run out?
I have to go and buy it for you?
You didn't buy it yourself.
She isn't home yet?
She went to her parents'.
How long has she been married that she is already going there?
Her sister is all alone.
Because her parents are both still hospitalized.
She went to take some side dishes.
Ra Ra ssi, to the Fragrance Room.
Yes.
You should write down all the things that upset you.
And show them to him once, as a last resort.
Where are you going?
To record my spending.
What spending? Our expenses aren't just one or two amounts.
At least my own spendings.
Go ahead and sleep.
Please have some vegetable juice, Father.
Never mind.
Why?
I thought you said it was for medicinal purposes.
What good is it for medicinal purposes if I keep stopping and starting?
I had to stop by my home yesterday.
I apologize.
I won't let it happen again.
The red lycopin in tomatoes are cancer-preventive.
Since the lycopin is better absorbed when you cook the tomatoes lightly, I cooked them in olive oil.
I should try to make myself eat tomatoes frequently then.
Make it for me every day.
It's good to vary the foods you eat.
I really like that I don't have to worry about meals because you're here.
You must want to eat a lot of things because you know so much.
Why is it so hot?!
Double-boiled eggs need to be hot to taste good.
You don't like it when the food gets cold.
The tomato is really delicious.
Yes.
Mother,
Where is the iron?
Mother?
Do you have something that needs to be ironed?
A shirt.
Give it here.
I can iron well.
Have a seat.
What can't you do?
Don't you need a car?
A car?
Next week is your birthday, isn't it? I'll get you one as a gift.
You are so generous, Dear.
Let's go today.
Yeah, before Mom changes her mind.
How could you get a daughter-in-law without even letting us know?
It just happened that way.
Things don't go the way you want when it concerns your children.
It's because she's pregnant with your grandchild, right?
No.
He came out stubbornly saying that it was only her or nobody. So, what could I do?
I'm the one who's about to have a grandchild.
Your daughter-in-law's pregnant?
That's great.
It's hot in here.
Do you want to go to Cheongpyong?
Just turn on the A-C.
We haven't been to the villa in a long time.
Come here, sit with us!
When do you think your parents will get discharged?
On Tuesday.
They really won't suffer any after effects later on?
That's hard to say, of course.
We have an executive at the resort, called Park Pan Gi.
He's so giddy because he's going to be a grandpa.
A grandchild through his daughter or son?
His son's child. They got married last January.
Then they must have gotten pregnant right after getting married.
Because his daughter-in-law is healthy, they conceived a honeymoon baby right away.
A child is given by the heavens.
Are you busy?
Do you have to go?
No.
Hello?
Is that so?
Alright, I'll be right there.
I'm going to make a quick trip to the association president's home.
I'm told that there's a woman who makes clothes inexpensively. And, she's here right now.
And, you know I don't fit well in ready-made clothes.
I'll be back!
Yes.
Dad, would you like some fruit?
No.
Do you have something to say?
While I was hospitalized,
I was thinking about this and that.
Getting into a car accident on the day of your wedding,
I was thinking that, perhaps, I was getting punished.
What punishment?
Actually,
I know the house where we got you from.
Seriously?
But why did you say that you didn't know?
I just felt that if we told you,
you would leave us. And, it made me uneasy.
And I didn't want to risk it.
Why would I leave?
The house where your mother worked...
I used to be a driver for the chairman of a tool company.
They lived in the same neighborhood, just the alley is different.
After what happened last time, I went to look for the house, hoping I would remember.
Maybe because it's a rich neighborhood.
Nothing had changed at all.
That house is still the same?
Where is it?
Mister, please find this address.
It would probably be no use going,
but I felt like I should let you know.
If I ask them, with something,
I might even be able to find them later.
This is Ra Ra's neighborhood.
I think it might be this house.
Twenty-five years ago,
you mean that I was abandoned here?
Right here at Ra Ra's house?
I'll go get some groceries.
Tomorrow is Ja's birthday, I don't know what they've decided to do.
I called them,
and they said they are preparing breakfast for him. He has plans with his friends for dinner.
Then what shall we do?
I was planning to tell him to come for lunch.
Mother and Director went for meridian massages.
Did you come because someone sent you?
I just came on my own.
Is it difficult?
No one wants to extend their hand out to me.
And they don't exchange words with me.
Why?
This a job they are doing for survival.
But I'm bursting with good fortune.
It seems they think I just entered here for fun.
You should stop here, before you regret later on.
You don't know how much I regret it myself.
How long have you been living in the house that you're at now?
From the beginning.
From the beginning?
Yeah.
Why?
No.
It's maintained so well. So I was just curious how old it was.
Grandfather...
built it when Father was in college I believe.
It's that old?
Yeah.
When I was little, I was so jealous of my friends who lived in two-story houses.
Your dream came true.
You came because you were curious about that?
And to see you, too.
Your car, the driver is going to bring it to you tomorrow.
We heard an earful from Father about it.
He asked how we could actually drive the expensive car, just because you said we should.
Then...
Ra Ra's grandparents didn't want to raise me.
If they had just raised me...
I'd be cousins with Ra Ra?
And I wouldn't have entered Buyonggak.
No.
Then I wouldn't have met Da Mo.
I worked part-time because of my financial situation.
And because of that I met Da Mo.
Think on the positive side, Dan Sa Ran.
Mother.
She told me to give your phone back to you.
I think the Senior President feels uneasy.
You should call her daily, so she doesn't worry.
Yerang, you!
Yes.
Why are you so weak with alcohol lately?
Are you sick or something?
Only four cups, and your eyes get loose already.
Someone gets special treatment because she was born lucky.
Dear Gong Joo, please have a taste.
It's good, right?
Do you remember Yeon Sook ahjumma?
Her husband runs a butcher shop at Kyungdong Market?
Her good friend is highly demanded Ddu in Kangnam.
You mean Madam Ddu (matchmaker)?
Yup, she only matches the upper class.
Yeon Sook bragged to her about us.
Saying how we're in-laws with Eun Sung.
And she asked her if we had any more daughters, you see.
So she brought up you and she said she would do a match for you.
Me, who hasn't even graduated yet?
You need to go on match-meets now, so you can get engaged.
Then married after you graduate.
You put in the words to her on purpose, didn't you?
Someone who can be an asset to your brother-in-law,
after you marry into a family like Sa Ran did.
You think our family suits with a rich family?
What do you lack?
You are good at studies, and your face is pretty too.
Yum.
The baby abandoned on their doorsteps.
They felt a sense of remorse for not taking her in.
That's why Ra Ra's grandma and grandpa
treated me so nicely, was that it?
Did Ahjumma open the door for you?
Why are you crying?
No, nothing.
He said something again, didn't he? Father.
No.
What do you mean no.
No. I said, it wasn't.
Tell me. What is it?
Hmm?
If you find out, you'll be sad.
What is it?
Go and wash up first.
You must feel hot.
I'll wash after I listen.
Today, my dad...
told me the house where I was, when I was a baby.
He knew?
Last time, I asked your sister to find out if he knew,
but she told me he didn't know.
He thinks because he didn't tell me, he was being punished.
And it kept him from attending the wedding, so he told me this time.
Which house is it?
Did you go by it?
It's completely dumbfounding and shocking.
I went to the house by the address, and it was Ra Ra's.
Not possible.
Really?
Are you sure?
My dad doesn't know where Ra Ra lives at all.
I just went to the house by the address he gave me.
And it turns out to be Ra Ra's.
Then by chance...
Director Geum's your father?
That wouldn't be the case, of course.
He was childless, so he adopted Ra Ra.
Why would Director Geum tell my mom to take the bay with her, if I were his own child?
Maybe he didn't know.
How could he not know?
If Director Geum were my dad, I would've told him.
You didn't go in there and ask them?
Was I supposed to tell them I was the baby that was abandoned by their doorsteps?
It's possible that someone might have come to look for you since the incident.
Maybe they couldn't afford to raise you, so they left you there.
But came back to look for you later on.
It's too embarrassing and such.
How about if I go and ask them, without telling them it's actually you.
Saying what though?
All these years, they've heard nothing from anyone.
So they may not have any memories of it whatsoever.
Don't think about it.
I feel so badly towards you, Honey.
I am such a nobody.
How can you say that?
You grew up so well and impressively.
I wish I would have my own baby soon.
I think I can stop thinking about the past, as I raise our child.
Do you really think it's not connected to Ra Ra's family at all?
Of course not.
But I still think we should ask them at least once.
I don't want to.
I feel too wretched.
Come here.
I have to go grind vegetable juice for father.
Please wash up.
Yes, this is Miss Geum Ra Ra's cellphone.
Who is this?
I'm Ra Ra ssi's manager.
This is Ra Ra's mom. Please put her on the phone.
Yeah, just a moment.
It's your mom.
Hello?
What manager?
Why did you call?
Tomorrow is Ja's birthday.
You can't come?
I got it.
I know you'll be tired, but come by eight.
That's going to be hard. I'll go to Grandma's.
I think you're working too hard.
Jam (sleeping) Gong Joo who tugs me.
How is she so cute when she's asleep too?
Tiny mouth and pretty nose too.
About Da Mo...
shouldn't you call him in now?
I already did.
I mean to the company. And release the accounts.
Are you trying to pull one over me, in bed?
How is this pulling one over you, in bed?
It's about our son.
Sa Ran will only leave when she can't gain anything.
You really don't know Sa Ran at all.
She dated him for love. Not for his family or anything she might gain from him.
You're noisy.
She's very skilled.
Since she's been through hell and highwater.
About Instructor Kyle and Miss Geum...
Yes?
Don't you think they're going to be a love pair?
Why?
Since they're always together.
Well that's because Ra Ra nuna pays him to.
No, I think those two will become a love pair.
We hire an ahjumma and send her to Ra Ra's.
Why?
To have her say that she's the one who left the baby outside their door 25 years ago.
And have her ask what happened to the baby?
Don't be agonized by it. We made a very wise choice.
Just you don't be agonized.
If I am to marry anyway, then I will marry Ja.
Who's the one who started it?
It was me.
Why, you!
Nuna!
I put her through school even though we have no money. And she goes and dates?
And with a younger brother at that?
I have something to tell you.
What?
25 years ago, there was a newborn baby outside the front doors here, right?
Yes.
I came because of that baby.
