New Tales of Gisaeng
Sa Ran must be pregnant...
Why aren't you sleeping?
I just had a dream.
What kind of dream?
Sa Ran's conception dream.
Why would you dream of Sa Ran's conception dream?
At times, people do dream those for other people.
It's not our conception dream?
No.
Tell me.
Andre, do acupressure on Dad.
So tired. Listen kid, cats can do cat massages. What about you?
Episode 47.
Get up!
Gong Joo, didn't you say you wanted to wash your hair?
What?
I'm going to.
Why is your pillow here?
I'm a restless sleeper.
Did you guys fight?
No!
Who is this here (back in the house)?
What about your mother-in-law then?
I have something to say.
No! I can see it already, without hearing it. I know you're going to take your mother-in-law's side.
Andre!
What about Da Mo?
A farewell party. I think they will go all the way to round three.
Don't kneel. I'm scared of your kneeling.
Father, please give into Mother just this once.
I knew you came to say that.
She says she will go to India on her birthday. She's already purchased a ticket and everything.
Why India?
She wants to reflect on herself, and meditate.
She's lost it.
They say people who go to India often end up staying there for years, Father.
Does she think meditation is for just anyone?
Exactly.
What the heck's wrong with your mom? What exactly is so upsetting and bitter?
She got to spend all the money she wanted. And, I never strayed or laid a hand on her.
Wounds from spoken words are painful too.
I heard that you never have said one compliment or thank you.
Do you have to say that in words?
You should know this too.
Men are not good in expressing themselves.
Don't use that to give Da Mo stress.
Men already have enough to worry about with work.
But you treat Andre tenderly and you adore him.
He's a weakling. An animal who can't talk.
But people who can speak long for affection too.
If not more, actually.
What if Mother had treated you coldly and shown no concern for you, all your life, Father?
How it would feel?
Women's hearts are delicate and sensitive.
She says it wasn't just once or twice the you hurt her feelings.
Just think about it from Mother's perspective.
If I was her, I'd have no complaints.
Even so, once Mother leaves, it won't be easy to get her to come back.
During the day, she came by and organized this, that and all her things.
Can you live by yourself... without Mother?
Would I die? Why wouldn't I be able to live?
Mother says she's done her best for you, all these years.
Did you also?
I have work outside the home.
I'm not a God. So, how can I do my best both inside and outside the home?
Love is not about receiving, but giving.
In that sense, Father, you've lost to Mother.
If... and this is really just a supposition,
since there's no guarantee that you two will pass away together...
If, by chance, Mother was to leave the world first, what would happen to you, Father?
You would suffer poignant regret at her absence.
It's a 4 o'clock flight on Sunday.
It's not that I find it tiring or troublesome,
but I am wishing that you can prepare her birthday this time.
If that is not the case, then mother will leave.
Those two are suspicious.
The kids?
I think they are living a fake.
What do you mean by a fake?
Putting on the look of married only.
There you go with the novel-writing again.
They are sleeping separately. Gong Joo on the bed and Ja on the floor.
They probably fought.
Why is Ja always sleeping on the floor?
If it was just a one-time thing, then why does he have to hide it?
Actually, it was weird how he asked for another blanket when they first started living here.
He probably did that because he didn't want you to think they fought.
Let's go. The manager says she will treat.
I'm hungry for sleep.
But tomorrow's Saturday.
If you go and play for an hour or two, you'll relieve stress and sleep well.
Want to fall into my allure once?
Oh, you drink alcohol well, Manager.
I seem to, today.
Dance now?
No, later, after we get in the mood.
OMG OMG so hot. So hot!
Dan Se ssi, you're dashing!
Subtitles by Team Gisaeng @ Viki.com.
Sleeping?
I'm sick.
Where?
Bodyaches.
What to do? There is no medicine for body aches.
It'll get better in a day or so.
It's burning hot!
Did you not eat dinner?
I ate.
I'm all sobered from the alcohol.
How is it that you dance so well?
It definitely is shocking! Shocking!
I played around a little in my early days.
You did?
Well, instead of saying I played some...
Actually, I lived my life obsessed with dance, so I didn't even go to college.
After I quit dancing, I gained weight.
You should just dance again. Why waste a talent?
You think so?
Let's meditate.
Come here and sit.
Simple people tend to become fanatics easily.
Supervisor Kim.
What about your wife?
She's ill.
She was fine yesterday in the evening.
Bodyaches. Fatigue aches from going back and forth between two places.
Are you going to let Mother leave for India tomorrow?
Is that why your wife can't eat anything?
I'm simmering some rice right now.
Honey.
I made some porridge.
Yourself?
What should I do? I agreed to go to the temple with the kitchen head on Tuesday.
You can just go next time, of course. I'll feed you.
I don't want kimchi.
I don't like the smell.
Then, just eat it with the soy sauce.
The weather is nice. Why don't you come out with us?
Can I walk like you, young folks?
Ra Ra has a performance on a Sunday too?
A date.
I'm telling you, they won't break up.
They meet everyday.
She says if they don't, she'll have thorns in her mouth.
You sure are popular.
They recognize beauty.
Miss Ra Ra is so popular.
Do a jump. Jump!
Brother and sister-in-law have no news?
A baby, I mean. She can't have one or she won't?
You should say something.
These days... the medical care is so advanced, you can have a baby late in life,
if you get all the proper tests done first.
She already gave birth to one.
When?
Twenty-five years ago.
A long time ago, on the day you guys came to visit...
The baby who was left outside the front door here.
Yes?
That child.
We didn't know she was our son's daughter.
So, the woman who worked here took her to raise.
Oh my...
then sister-in-law gave birth to her and left her outside the door?
You've got to find her, then.
That's why we put out an ad too.
But we didn't get any responses.
Since they accepted the daughter-in-law,
shouldn't they greet the in-law's too?
We just leave it like this and let the year go by?
We just have to wait. What else can we do?
They shouldn't have tattled on Sa Ran being a foundling.
How can they deceive them about that?
Even if it becomes known later on in life, they should have just keep it to the two of them for now.
Why reveal it, as if it's something to brag about!
Is that fortune-teller accurate?
When she was working as the kitchen head...
When no one knew about her past...
He said she was pierced by maternal love.
And said she'd meet her child soon.
Just keep it to yourselves. Don't spread it about.
Of course.
It's father-in-law...
If he hadn't done what he did, everyone would've been able to live where they belong.
It's fate, what else.
That's why sister-in-law has such a defeated look.
I think they're back.
Don't show any signs you know.
Why?
Mother's birthday.
You're ill. What are you doing to do? Lay down.
Then you go, at the least.
I'll tell Father to go.
Father?
Where did your father go?
Long time no see, Ma'am!
Have you been well, Ma'am?
Yes.
There's rice, right, Ma'am?
Yes.
Ma'am, you go inside and sleep more, please.
Yes?
Is father there?
Yes.
I think he's going to make breakfast.
Even if it doesn't taste great, tell him it's good.
Alright.
He went there?
Yep.
Let's sleep.
Dan Gongjoo!
Dan Gong Joo.
Gong Joo ah.
Gong Joo!
Yes.
Please come eat.
Omo.
You really made this?
Yes, Ma'am.
Don't say yes so formally.
But you want to be treated like a madam, right?
I only said that. Did I really mean that?
Please sit
I smelled it while I made it, so I don't feel like any.
How come this is so delicious?
It's just how things are.
A person who does one thing well, does everything well.
I'm not eating.
What is your complaint?
I ran here at dawn and cooked soup and everything.
Did you make it with a good heart?
Don't speak informally.
Why can't I?
You're three years younger!
Spouses belong on the same level. Regardless of age.
I said, what exactly is your complaint?
You look at me like I'm a pig eating feed.
Food should be made with a good heart, so it can feed the person eating it positively.
It's because it was hard for me.
Golf is hard too. You play it for an entire day.
But you still come home with sparkles in your eyes.
Is golfing and cooking the same?
I did it for my entire life with you.
You only put in 2-3 hours of effort, and you already feel wronged and irritated.
Yes, I do! I'm wondering what the heck I'm doing.
When I have a mountain-load of things to do.
I ask myself why should I do this for my wife that I put in luxury?
I'm so angry that I have to put up with this.
Mr. Chairman, please go.
I... seriously!
Women in other houses smile so wide when the husband brings home money.
Their mouths are about to rip and they serve the husband like a God.
I did serve you like a God.
But did you even acknowledge it?
Sa Ran is ill and suffering from going back and forth between two households.
You sure made so many people suffered!
I don't care if she goes to India or Dokdo!
The more you do for her, the bigger she puffs up.
You should've just eaten with her.
I smelled it while I was cooking it, so I didn't feel like it.
That is how it is for homemakers,
as they smell the food and taste to season.
When it's actually time for the family members to eat.
They can't even tell if it's delicious.
You should've just held it in a bit.
If it was you... you run over there at dawn...
You made soup and rice and curry. And, you did all that for the first time since you were born.
But she goes and gets annoyed, and you can hold it?
From Mother's perspective,
it's natural that she'd feel hurtand emotionally upset about it.
What...
Mother has devoted herself all her life...
and did her best to prepare food for her husband and son to eat.
I did it with devotion too.
If you did it with devotion, you'd feel blissful when you watched your family member eating it.
Did you feel blissful watching Mother eating?
Even if you made the food for her, if you look at her with a sour face, the food won't go down well.
It would actually be insulting, instead.
It's true.
When it comes to food, it needs to be prepared with a good heart.
I guess Mother must be leaving for the airport.
I got it.
So you don't worry, and go upstairs and lay down.
You've gotten very pale over a day.
Darling (wife).
What the heck is that guy?
He asked me how to do a backstroke.
So then? You taught him?
Yep. Some instructions.
You're that naive? Don't you know he's making a pass?
What pass?
Why would he ask an unknown woman about backstrokes?
If he wants to learn, he should just take lessons!
Don't get worked up.
Get off work and go home.
Wait in the car.
I said go home for the day.
Sit.
So we can eat cake.
I don't feel like any.
Don't you see that I'm trying?
Gazing at me like I'm a pitiful pig is trying?
But that is how my personality has always been.
I've lived like this for over 50 years. Can I change it overnight like that?
Are you going to sing a song for me?
If you wish.
And party hat?
On Andre's birthday, you wore a party hat.
I will. So, don't go to India.
Since you're trying, then do it properly.
Do it properly how?
I don't wish for anything more.
Just living together like newlyweds, for a week.
Here.
Here?
Immediately after we married, we lived with your mother and father,
so all these years, not once
did we ever lived together alone, lovey dovey.
That is my grievance.
I can stay here.
But, to be honest, I... the lovey and dovey... I have no confidence for that.
Just the same as you do with Andre.
If you can't, then forget it!
I will.
I said I will do it.
You weren't asleep?
Sleeping, then waking.
How did it go?
India... she's given up on it.
The two of them will stay there for a few days.
That's great.
He needs to treat her well now.
Father does a good job when he sets his mind on it.
You need to eat something.
Hm? Think about what you want.
I don't feel like rice yet.
Since I'm feverish, I feel like some cold ice cream.
Walnut ice cream.
Alright, I'll go buy it, quick like a knife.
Send someone.
You wish your dear husband would stay by you?
Yes.
Aigo, my lovely puppy.
I wish I were sick instead of you.
Here, let's transfer your bodyaches to me.
You're hurting me.
No wonder I dreamed about Dan Gong Joocheating last night.
Dreams are opposite of reality.
If it's opposite, then, you went and chatted with that man?!
I can't exchange one or two words?
It's not like I talked to him first either.
Before I go off to the army, give birth to my baby first.
Hm?
I'm too scared to have a kid.
Others all do it.
But I'm afraid of it.
It'd be nice if you could give birth instead.
Can you take it in?
So you won't get an upset tummy, don't eat too much.
I won't.
Since they're not here anyway, you ease up and rest up.
You suffered so much, physically and mentally.
I didn't suffer any hardships physically though.
You come up with a menu every day. And, do all the grocery shopping yourself.
Back when my mom was ill, I did all that while I attended school too.
They say there's joy at the end of suffering. You won't have sufferings anymore.
You don't know life.
We've done a life-time's worth in our youth already.
Though compared to you, I didn't suffer as much.
But to be honest, emotional sufferings... I may have suffered more than you, but probably not less.
Going through with a marriage your parents object to...
Truthfully, it tormented you, didn't it?
Not because of my father... but because of Miss here.
You're eating it so deliciously. I want some too.
Why are you evading?
You catch on so quickly.
It's not just once or twice that I've been taken (advantage of).
How many times have you been taken?
Wolf!
Wolf is good... to the wife.
You're happy that your husband's by your side, right?
Go outside. I can't stand the sight of you.
Have some, ma'am.
Go downstairs and eat dinner, okay?
Put it on, please.
Song, too.
Yes, ma'am.
With my name in it.
Coffee in bed at night?
I can still sleep fine no matter how much I drink.
You're addicted.
Your brother's child... What do you think she looks like?
Less pretty than our Ra Ra, of course, right?
They need to hurry and find her.
But the worry I have is that... if the maid took her,
then their living situation is probably still difficult.
What if they ask for a big amount when we find her?
They did raise her, though. Then, do we go and take her back just like that?
And on top of everything, what if she's already married too?
It's one thing if she met someone good.
What if she married a guy with empty-pockets and they're suffering.
And, they cling when we find her?
To get money from the family members?
That's a possibility.
How can I stand that sight?
Dear, you are so...
Now that I think about it, finding her is not necessarily a good thing.
If you go and say that to my mom...
She'll collapse.
Am I that thoughtless? I'm just saying this to you.
Wear this, please.
Arm!
Father, hallowed be your name. Thy kingdom come.
Your will be done, on earth as it is in heaven.
It is my prayer to you that my Andre is to be fine.
Do we really have to fill up a whole week here?
You don't want to?
It's not like my home.
Just two more days then.
Andre, Dad will be there after you sleep two nights, so wait for me.
A log is none other.
Dear father in heaven,
please allow me to get through this night safely.
What are you doing?
I was going to extend my arm out for you.
You're being too harsh. Are you going to break out in hives if you let me put my arm under you?
Sleep nicely, okay?
Hello.
It's me, Mother
I heard you were sick.
Just body aches. I'm almost fully recovered. How are you doing, Mother?
Have you made up with father?
So when will you come back?
I'll make a trip to the temple.
Is the food at the temple good?
In the old days, yes. But, these days, it's just so-so.
Be back safely.
I'll call you again later.
You came.
Was that Ra Ra?
No, it was another friend.
How did you spend your weekend?
I took walks with the director and things.
Do you call him "director" when you two are alone too?
Yes.
Since we met when he was a doctor
and he's quite older than me too. So, it's hard to change.
It's nice to see, actually.
What do you want to drink?
Orange juice.
You have good news, right?
What kind of good news?
You don't feel chilly and have no appetite for food?
I do.
You don't know what that means?
Do you think you're pregnant?
No. But I'm going to the temple for that issue.
I don't think there's a need to go. I had a dream.
What kind of dream?
Conception dream.
Really?
Isn't it your conception dream?
No, it was certainly yours.
I'm sure it means you will conceive within a month or two.
In my dream, we were at an orange orchard.
I was sitting inside the orchard when you appeared.
So it must be a conception dream for sure.
Instead of going to the temple, go to the hospital.
I think it's too early to go to the hospital.
Then, you know those test that you can buy at the pharmacy?
By chance, didn't you get bodyaches?
I was sick all throughout the weekend.
Then it's for sure.
Hurry and go home. I am sure I am right.
Are your dreams usually accurate?
The important ones.
Conceptions dreams are often dreamed by other people for you.
Then, is it a conception dream of a son or daughter?
Usually, a dream about fruits means a daughter,
but since they were changed into gold.
It seems like it might be a sturdy son too.
Regardless, it's a very good dream.
Since it was all filled up by gold.
Let me know after you do the test.
Yes.
It's $4 please.
It is already Autumn.
When will we be able to meet our child?
Mother, you've been well?
Yes.
Please speak comfortably towards me.
What kind of side dishes did you make?
You're not going to feed us.
You didn't call.
Why call when I'm coming to my home?
I eat well with just kimchi. I am not a picky eater.
But still... up ahead, ... there's a good noodle house.
I'll buy then.
I want rice.
Alright.
Mother, I'll give you English lessons from now on. You can gather some friends to come.
At my age... it's not like I will be studying abroad.
But Mom, you said you wanted to learn conversational English, for traveling and stuff.
Yes, Father.
Are you feeling alright?
I'm nearly recovered.
And is Andre doing well?
Yes.
He doesn't whine, with me gone?
He seems a bit down.
Let me talk to him via video chat.
Yes.
Andre!
Peek-a-boo!
Not yet. He might be busy.
Thank you.
Thank you, dear God.
You were nice to Michelle. Why are you cold towards Kyle?
What do you mean I was nice.
Learn English and get to know him properly.
You need to get to know a person, in order to know what he's really like.
That's what I want to say to you.
He's above this world and so tidy.
I don't like Korean men who get so drunk.
Are they all drunks?
Your dad, your uncle, Ja, Yeon Sang... none of them are drunks.
There are more men not like that than those who are.
You say that without even having looked.
He loves me and cherishes me more than anyone else in this world.
More than your parents?
Yup!
But it's true.
Just wait and see when you have a child of your own. See if you will still say such a thing.
What is your biggest complaint?
He can't just live here for good?
He's their only child.
He's their only child, but he almost became a monk.
So, in that vein,
if you say that's what you want, then there's no reason he can't do it.
I don't want that. I'm going to go live in Las Vegas.
What's so about a city in the desert?
Do you know how well Dan Se ssi dances?
I almost fainted, you know.
With that big body of his?
His waist was like this, shaking so good, you know.
Dan Se ssi is truly full of allure, you know.
Hello?
Sorry.
I went to the temple and didn't know that my battery had died out.
It's true.
You've tested?
Yes. It's positive.
How long has it been?
I think less than three weeks.
Congratulations.
I think it might be too early to go to the hospital then.
Yes.
It's probably better if I didn't tell the elders first, right?
It's better to tell them after you get a formal test and word at the hospital first.
Be very careful about your movements.
You have to be very careful at the early stage of pregnancy.
Okay.
Thank you! I didn't even think of it before (you mentioned it).
Fortunately, I knew because I had the dream.
I'll make sure I pay you for that dream.
Pay me $10. It's a good dream, so you should buy.
Yes, please hang up first.
Who? Did you dream?
A dream about Sa Ran. I had a conception dream.
She's pregnant?
Just beginning.
That's good. Her in-laws must be happy.
Though I'm confused whether it's a dream about a son or a daughter.
Tell me.
Please give this to mother. And don't tell her I got it for you to give to her.
Just give it to your wife.
I, of course, bought one for Sa Ran, too.
Mother will definitely like it.
She is already liking things fine.
That's what you're thinking.
Did she complain again?
I even sang her a birthday song.
Did she say I wasn't sincere?
No, but it's nice to give her a gift of flowers once in awhile.
You've lived life too lacking in expressing your emotions...
And that's why you're not used to doing it.
If you do it often enough, it'll become natural for you.
Stop thinking so much about stuff at home
and just concentrate on work and skills.
Yes sir!
Subtitles by Team Gisaeng @ Viki.com.
Yes, Mr. Chairman?
What kind of beverages do you have? Something refreshing, I mean.
Iced coffee, plum juice, orange juice... we have them all.
Plum juice.
Yes.
We have no Chang (Korean narrative songs), like Pansori or such.
I'll go prepare it right away.
Tomorrow.
Aren't the flowers pretty?
Yes.
What kind of flowers do you like?
I like nameless wild flowers.
You have a boyrfriend?
I'm sorry? No...
Oh, but you do, so what's with that?
Marry late and later.
Yes.
If you marry early, you'll separate, even if the world ends.
Did you come?
What's with the water on the floor?
Was there water?
Endure it. To the Soora who endures, there will be a blessing.
I just wasn't used to cleaning.
Do you hurt a lot?
Do you need to go to the hospital?
It's okay.
Here.
Omo! You bought flowers?
What made you think of it?
It's a homemaker's job, right?
Why are we like this?
I like it. I really really like it.
Yes.
I have come to deliver flowers.
I didn't hear you come in.
Ahjussi opened it for me.
Last time, you said you'd never gift me flowers again, since you felt shy about it.
I wasn't going to, but now, I'm not shy about it.
I love them. I really wanted to receive some today.
Why?
Just because.
They say spouses are one mind in two bodies.
I guess we're connected, so I got telepathy.
It's true.
I thought you'd be home late today, since it's your first day at the company...
and the welcome party.
At our company, we end the parties at second or third shot.
Eun Sung is a good company.
You received flowers, but I don't get anything?
Don't do it so fiercely.
I'm a man!
Even so. I prefer tender over macho.
Fine, fine. I'll do it sweetly.
Just hurry up and wash up.
Fine. After I wash up, let's do it properly.
Do what properly?
Girls!
Let's have a go at "Chunhyang Tale" now.
Did you guys see "New Tale of the Chunhyang"?
Yes.
I wrote that you know!
Really?
Be good to Writer Lee. If you're lucky, you could make your debut as an actress.
I'll play Chunhyang, so you... be Byunsa-ddo.
Chunhyang, I yearn for you.
Thus, you are to groom yourself properly starting today, and service me in bed.
I am grateful for your command, Sir.
But I am obliged to serve but a single husband.
Lovely. You are the spirit of a virtuous woman?
Your chastity, I shall emulate. But that Mongryung or Japryung will not be coming back.
I am loyal to one man eternally. A woman of virtue marries but once.
Living feels less than death, so please punish me accordingly, Sir.
Why, this is but a wicket wench. You insist on defying my command, do you?
No word that you, or anyone, may say can steal away the heart of this petty woman.
You look so happy today, Honey. Is it because mother and father aren't around?
No. Not at all.
I received a present I didn't expect.
Let's go to Cheongpyeong. It's the best time to go and see the maple leaves.
Later.
Why? Soon, they will all be fallen leaves.
I also want to go...
You want to go. But...?
You said you've almost recovered.
If we go and you breathe in some fresh air, you'll be even better.
You're worried about my parents?
I was going to tell you later...
Truthfully speaking,
I think I am pregnant...
A child?
I met the kitchen head today.
When I said no, she told me she dreamt a conception dream, on my behalf.
Really?!!
Yep. She said she was sure of the conception dream and told me to go to the hospital.
But since I think it's only a few weeks, I bought a home pregnancy test.
And the results came out with two lines.
You should have told me earlier!!
I was going to tell you after I got confirmation from the hospital.
A dream plus two lines on the test is confirmation enough.
She said that's why I was ill.
She said when you first become pregnant, you get body aches.
So, that was the reason.
My lovely puppy. Actually, I did secretly hope for one.
Already?
I'm the only child. Father wanted me to marry because he wanted a grandchild too.
Let me go tell them. They'll run home giddy.
Not yet. After I go to the hospital first.
It's still too early.
How long do you think it has been?
Some two or three weeks.
When will you go to the hospital?
I searched online and it says if I go now, they can only do a urine and blood test now anyway.
What did the kitchen head dream of?
They say there is an end to all troubles.
I think Sa Ran will be rising on the other end from now on.
Why?
She's with child.
She is?
Chairman Ah must be so happy.
It's a huge joy, of course. An offspring is rareand precious to that household.
It would've been nice if he approved easily from the start,
since she is the daughter-in-law to give him his grandson.
Whether it's a son or a daughter, I love it.
Even better if it's a daughter.
When will it be born, then?
From my calculations... June.
June... then we don't know if it's son and mom or mom and daughter,
but you will have same birth month.
It's such a strange feeling, to think I'll be a mom.
They say men don't really care about that.
What do you mean?
They say young fathers don't realize children are lovely.
Maybe my father.
You're happy?
Happy, and grateful, and blissful.
What shall I do for you?
Let me be emotionally at ease. If I get irritated, then just take it.
They say during early stage of pregnancy, women get sensitive, so they can get irritable.
It's fine for me, but for the child's sake, try not to.
Next two to three months, you have to be in stable condition no matter what. Eat up here if you can.
The ahjummas would say I am making a big deal.
So what?
But Madame Kitchen Head...
She's slightly old, but she's never had a child, so how does she know things so well?
About conception dream, and about my pregnancy symptoms.
Alll her friends must be married, so I guess from them.
That's true.
I need to buy the dream from her.
I'll buy right away tomorrow.
And not go to work?
I'll stop by briefly after work.
It'll be a burden on them. It'll be an imposition.
Let's just meet her together this weekend.
Okay.
No wonder I wanted to buy the flowers so badly. Maybe I have a supernatural power.
Don't say such things.
Joking.
But from what I read in books, people who have bright souls have sensible premonitions.
I don't think I will be able to sleep tonight.
What kind of a kid will be born...
It's alright if it looks like me, right?
Wait, no... If it's a daughter, then looking like me is not really good, right?
I've heard the saying that if a daughter looks like her father, then she'll have a good life.
Really?
I'll pickle some delicious kimchi.
Take them to Sa Ran's?
Why? In case that household has no kimchi?
They must have the maids making them. No matter what, it won't be as good as mine.
I make one heck of a kimchi, right?
Just stay and wait.
I'm so curious about how they live.
But it's not like they live alone. You doing nothing is being helpful to her.
But we're still their in-law's in name and by law, so how can they not even invite us?
Did something good happen?
Sa Ran is pregnant. That lovely child.
Omo. How many months?
What do you mean how many months?
They just got married not long ago. The counting starts now.
That's truly wonderful.
Now, I won't worry about her.
You plan to go on a trip somewhere?
No.
Tell President Jang I would like to see her.
She's not in her room.
Today, Chairman Kim of Hyokyung is coming.
The abalone... cusine.
Yes.
Yes?
Head Madame would like to see you.
Tell her to come to my room.
At Mother's room.
She wants me to come to her?
Yes.
Fine.
Who is she to order me to come and go?!
You need to say something?
Yes.
In the future, if you need something, call me or come see me in my room.
As of today, I want to quit.
What do you mean quit?
I think you'll be fine without me.
Without a leave of absence first?
I think you've pretty much taken over, haven't you?
And you've got a thorough grasp (of the business).
Why?
You have a complaint?
About everything.
If Yooncho Mother were alive...
And saw how Buyonggak's operating these days...
She'd pass out again.
You didn't hear about how the clients are responding?
They leave here after having played so contently.
They are so content...
They break a window, hang it on their neck and play Chunhyang, do they?
He paid many times over before he left.
If you can't play Chunhyang at a gisaeng house, then when do you play that?
I heard you.
I suppose someone is scouting you?
Of course many ask me to come, always.
But I will just rest for a while.
If you don't like the temple, then you should leave the Buddhist priesthood, right?
Your personality isn't of someone that will change her mind, even if I try to hold on to you.
Rest to your fill...
And come back.
You're kicking away your fortune.
Like I would be sorry.
Gather the employees and the girls. I need to, at least, tell them I am leaving.
Are you going down to your mother's in the countryside?
No, for now, to Soon Deok's apartment.
She's got the lease until next year anyway.
I'll quit too.
Where you are...
Is where I belong.
Just stay here. You're too young not to work.
I've earned enough to start a restaurant already.
A Buyonggak without Mother...
Has no meaning for me.
Andre.
Did you stay here well?
I was going to stay there, for a few more days, so things would be easier on you.
But your father says to come back.
I felt lonely with you gone, Mother.
I should've made a ruckus sooner.
Yesterday, he even came home with flowers.
Omo, Father did?
How did you feel?
I've only seen it on TV dramas... men giving flowers to women.
I was soooooo...
happy. Like I was entranced in bliss.
I'm so happy that there was reward to your leaving.
As they say, rain makes the ground sturdier.
I realize now, that spouses need to fight every now and then too.
You too. I'm giving you this as a woman to woman advice.
Don't be too good to him in the early stages.
Or, it could actually bite you back.
If you give in to everything and you treat him too good, he will think he deserves it naturally.
And later on, he won't even know to be grateful.
Men are simple like that.
But, not Da Mo ssi.
It's because you guys are still newlyweds. Whose son is he?
Blood doesn't lie.
Yes.
So, did you meet some friends?
No.
You should go out and have a good time.
I'd rather just stay here. I like home the best.
Our goody daughter-in-law.
I think I need you to be an all-around player.
Fill the vacancy left by Madame Oh.
And put even more care into managing the girls.
I'll raise your monthly salary by $1,000.
Work diligently with a drive.
Thanks, but I plan to quit too.
Is quitting a trend?
If Mother isn't here, I have no reason to be at Buyonggak.
I don't understand it.
Maybe you got scouted by some Kangnam House?
In case I can't fill my mouth?
I'll raise it by $3,000 then.
You can find many people that are more skilled than me.
My one wish is that
I don't want to hear Buyonggak has become an entertainment house.
Don't worry.
Did they leave?
President Jang wants all the employees gathered.
Do you want to wash up before you eat?
No, I'm hungry.
Andre, you missed Dad, didn't you?
I was so haunted by you, I suffered so much, kid.
Why isn't there rice for you?
My appetite hasn't returned yet.
Then you're going to starve?
Ice cream.
Bring that here.
Is that really so yummy?
Yes.
But ice cream will make you gain weight.
She can afford to gain some.
Women like this stuff and guys like alcohol.
Midas... they're showing four episodes in a row today for rebroadcasting, Mother.
Really?
The drama with that Jang Hyuk or whatever?
Yes.
Dear, you certainly have a good memory...
After hearing his name only once.
Is that actor good-looking?
A lot of women like him.
But he looks like a hungry wolf. Why do they like him?
Men are more attractive if they have a bit of that wolf-like manner about them, right, Father?
It's true.
What about my manner?
Strong, of course.
Like a tiger?
A lion?
I'm not sure.
Dear, you're a bulldog.
Do you mean that?
Don't carry stuff like this.
You're not going to eat any? It's just fruits.
I don't feel like any.
Put a limit to it, alright? You live with elders around.
Yes.
You're that happy?
They're newlyweds.
Who do you take after?
I think I got the best out of the two of you.
You're going to hear people call you a dullard.
He's a bird who's been caught.
Shouldn't we follow Head Madame and leave too?
It's not as though she's moved to another business.
There isn't anywhere to follow to.
If I could, I would just quit right away.
Did you pack some food for them?
I didn't think of it, with all that chaos.
Tomorrow, I'll make a new batch and bring it to them.
The guests didn't ask for her?
Of course they did, along with the director.
And when you said they quit?
They were all shocked.
I was so itching to tell them.
Hold it in.
We can just have a cup of coffee, with a fried egg.
I'll prepare rice for you, starting tomorrow.
Oh, no need.
Men's skincare is so strongly scented.
Dre!
Have fun here.
Father, that's a dashing tie you've got on today.
Mother picked it out, right?
Yup.
Oh, my wallet.
Oh, yes.
But there won't be any need for you to settle the bill.
Still.
Have you got a good grasp of your job now?
Of course.
