New Tales of Gisaeng
Why?
She's about to vomit and you laugh?
That's not it.
Hey.
Your wife... is she possibly...
Is it true?
Yes.
What's true?
Pregnant!
We haven't gone to the hospital yet.
Why?!!
Since she thinks it's only two or three weeks old.
So that's why she was ill?
Yes. At first she didn't know, but Kitchen Head...
No, Director Geum's wife dreamed the conception dream for her.
Oh my.
Sa Ran's conception dream?
Yes, so she bought a test and it came out with two lines.
Then you should've told us.
We were going to tell you after we confirmed it with the hospital.
Conception dream plus two lines on the test is confirmation enough!
Give me the details.
What did she dream in the conception dream?
We need to go to work.
Is going to work the issue right now?!
This is a huge joy!
It might be alright for you, but I can't be late.
Then go.
Episode 48.
Are you ok?
When I smelled Father's aftershave...
I'm so worried about you. You already can't eat.
I'm okay. I won't die.
We need to come up with a prebirth name. [ For the fetus before it is born only ]
Hurry and go, or you'll be late.
Mother caught on, so I told them.
Why didn't you tell us about such joyful news?
Just in case.
I'll be back later.
Yes.
Director Geum's wife had your conception dream?
Yes.
Tell us the details.
Madame Kitchen Head was sitting in a tangerine orchard...
I can't hear you clearly.
Do you smell something?
Father's aftershave scent doesn't seem to agree with me too well.
Huh?
Block your nose then.
All the tangerines turned into gold?
Yes.
It's not just an average dream, Dear!
Madame Kitchen Head says I should buy the dream.
Of course we should buy it.
Who are you calling?
Director Geum, to meet in the evening, couple to couple, so we can buy the dream.
You can't be the one buying the dream. She or Da Mo need to buy the dream.
Is that the case?
Of course!
Hurry and buy it.
Da Mo ssi...
Since I won't be leaving home for a while.
And he doesn't have any time until evenings, we're trying to set something up for the weekend.
Yes, Father.
Make some time during the day today
and go buy the dream from Director Geum's wife,
very expensively.
Yes.
You don't postpone on a dream like that.
Yes.
Is there anything you crave to eat?
I keep wanting only ice cream.
So that's why you ate ice cream yesterday.
We get to hear such joyful news so early in the day.
Throw away my aftershave.
Yes!
Da Mo... want me to give him a few days off?
No.
Good bye.
Good bye, Father.
You saw your father-in-law's face, right?
He didn't laugh, but how his face was full of bliss?
Yes.
You're so great!
Hurry and go upstairs to lay down.
You have to be very careful in the beginning stage.
I am still a bit too young to be a grandmother.
Ms President, it's Teacher Kyle.
Yes.
With our Ra Ra...
We're doing great.
I hear my sister-in-law hasn't opened her heart to you yet.
But she still treats me nicely.
We get quite a number of foreigner guests.
So, I thought I should learn some conversational English.
Can you give me intensive lessons when you have time?
You can't?
My schedule is pretty much filled up, along with Ra Ra ssi's schedules.
Since the word is out, we are getting invitations here, there and everywhere.
Since it's a free performance, no one will complain if you don't go though.
Ra Ra ssi is finding it very rewarding.
We can leave now, Mr. Chairman.
Hello. Welcome.
Oh my, so precious an orchid plant.
I hear the madame had my daughter-in-law's conception dream.
Did you hear about it?
Yes.
A dream like that is difficult to dream.
Indeed.
I heard the news this morning, so my mood's been very great.
It's possible that it's gone up.
You must be so happy.
Since I didn't expect to hear it and I did, it's such a strange feeling actually.
I will be grandfather soon.
Gong Joo can't go to school by herself?
You drive her there and you go pick her up to bring her home.
She is quite popular, so I have to manage it.
What use is all the popularity, when she's married?
If you're so anxious about it, then how are you going to be able to go to the army alone?
You should leave a grandchild behind before you go.
You can only pick the star when you can look up at the sky.
That is something women say.
You two are not intimate?
There is something, isn't there?
I saw how you two sleep apart too.
Does Gong Joo say she doesn't like you?
Actually...
If I were to ask you about the difference compared to the designs from before,
what would be your answer?
It does show a minimalism influence.
But as you can see here,
there are small details that bring a splendidness to the design.
The form is simple, but hues are used as decorations.
That is the keyword.
What? Is that something you should've agreed to?
At first, I thought it didn't matter much.
How does it not matter much?
It's the most important aspect of married life, after personalities.
I thought she was just saying it.
I thought it would naturally be loosened after we got married.
She also seems extremely fastidious.
Let's do this.
Feed her alcohol and get her in the right mood.
We'll go out and watch a movie tonight. We'll come home late.
Come on in.
We were going to tell them later when we got the confirmation.
But Sa Ran got nauseous when she smelled my father's aftershave.
That's very plausible. I got nauseous just smelling clothes.
Are they happy?
Yes! I was going to meet you outside this weekend.
But, my father told me to come and buy it at once.
Give me $10 for it.
I don't think it's a 10-dollar dream.
It's not about how many zeros.
But still.
Just accept it, and sell it to him on a happy note.
I sold you my dream.
Yes, and I clearly bought your dream.
How nice it would be if our Ra Ra met a sturdy groom like him too.
Did they both really quit?
Why?
I only heard about it sketchily.
But, I think Madame Oh and your aunt got into some discord over operations.
But regardless, your aunt is the one who actually owns the place.
You know the saying,
"If you don't like the temple, you ought to leave Buddhist priesthood"...
So Madame Oh left, I think.
You should've held onto her.
Why would I?
Even if she were the the governor of Pyongyang, she leaves and that's it.
How can you operate this Buyonggak by yourself?
I've gotten a thorough grasp of things around here.
But the gisaengs respect and follow Madame Oh so much.
You need a de facto Head Madame here.
And, you're not someone who's been in this industry for long.
I'm meeting with madames who are beautiful.
If you don't have the teeth, use the gums.
Is there another madame who has the kind of full beauty, skills, charisma and knacks as Madame Oh?
Fold away your pride and call her back.
No way.
Why?
I will cultivate Buyonggak well according to my way.
Wait and see.
I've prepared the Chang and Pansori music, Mr. Chairman.
I don't listen to that stuff.
Ice cream... where do they make it deliciously?
Oh, what is that?
Ice cream.
Why so much?
Eat to your fill.
I will eat it well, Father.
Da Mo isn't back yet?
No. He says he has a lot to review.
I bought all sorts of flavors.
I'll keep it in the freezer, so have some, please.
Yes.
There's a mood here, right?
We should enjoy this time between us every now and then. Spousal harmony time.
But we're always in harmony.
True. Here. Cheers!
I like this taste.
Maybe it's because it's wine. It goes down so well.
Me too.
Cheers!
They are coming home late.
They're probably enjoying a date out.
Hurry and empty it.
You should drink at the same pace as your husband.
I am drinking the same as you.
But how come I'm the only one who feels dizzy? Whatever... keep drinking.
Lovely!
You know what... do you... have any complaints about me, by chance?
I don't. If I did, I'd be a rotten wench.
Um, about...
Drink. Keep drinking.
About Sa Ran...
Yes?
She runs the household well. She's smart and well-mannered, too.
She even conceived so quickly too.
It would've been so nice if she wasn't a foundling.
The mountain is good...
The water is good too and so is the scenery.
How can we wish for a gazebo too, on top of that?
You have to give up on one or two items.
That is the only regrettable thing.
A person needs to know their foundation.
For the future children's sake as well.
If they ask about their maternal grandma and grandpa, what are we going to tell them?
We just have to tell them about her current parents.
What did they do good to deserve that?
They sent their daughter to a gisaeng house.
Subtitles brought to you by NTOTG team @ viki.com.
What should we name the fetus?
I haven't thought about it.
Since we don't know if it's a daughter or a son...
we should name it with a neutral name, right?
It's hard.
Oddookgi (roly poly)?
What?
It's weird.
You're home late.
You're not asleep?
No.
What about Ja?
He's zonked out.
Ja drank two bottles all my himself?
No, we shared the same amount.
But you're fine like that?
I guess I don't get drunk on wine easily.
What are you going to name the fetus?
There isn't anything perfect.
Starling.
Starling?
Isn't that a girl fetus name?
My premonition is that it will be a girl.
That's just what you wish for, Father.
Did you have a dream?
I just sense that.
Starling.
The one that sparkles and everyone looks up to when they dream.
How great will that be? To become a person who is like a star.
Is there anyone who doesn't like stars?
It's a good name.
Not bad, right?
Yes.
You only eat ice cream. You don't get sick?
Strangely, no.
I guess Starling likes ice cream.
Based on that alone, it's a daughter for sure.
You two aren't wishing for a son?
I don't care actually.
I just want a healthy child to be born.
It's true. Health is what's most important.
I'm ordering this on you, as your father-in-law.
Starting today, you live upstairs and don't come downstairs.
Going up and down the stairs is the worst.
What about eating?
We can bring that up to her.
And when I go and come back from work, there's no need to show your face to me either.
If we need to speak to you, then we'll go upstairs.
You just worry about prenatal education only.
Yes.
You'll probably feel pretty stuffy.
Stuffy or not isn't the issue. She needs to be careful for the next month or two.
Why are you sitting like that?
When I was pregnant, you didn't even show me this little amount of concern.
But you put care and worry into every little thing, for your daughter-in-law.
You're the one who is getting jealous over every little trivial thing.
When I was pregnant with Da Mo, did you ever buy me snacks?
Did you have morning sickness issues?
You ate super well.
And that's why you should've bought more.
There you go with the informal speech again.
I filled the deficiency of love with food.
Are you and the daughter-in-law the same?
Is the daughter-in-law more important or is your wife more important?
Sa Ran has no maiden parents who can care for her.
If they knew, wouldn't they take care after her too, even if they are step-parents?
She doesn't know who her parents are, and she grew up pitifully. Isn't she so pitiable?
Sa Ran is a foundling so she's pitiable,
and Andre is an animal who can't talk, so you have to care for him.
What am I?
You are... a madame living in luxury.
Some luxury I am living in, indeed.
You have a husband, you have a son, and you have a daughter-in-law.
And you don't ever have to worry about money.
Before, you lived like a princess, and after marriage, you lived like a queen.
The queen tends to her husband's this and that?
Because I am the king!
A king is tended to by his attendants, not the queen.
You are the mother-in-law, but you didn't even have your daughter-in-law's conception dream.
Do I get to dream however I want?
Others do.
Then what about the father-in-law? The dream isn't only dreamed by the mother-in-law.
Don't worry about me from now on.
Just tend to your daughter-in-law well, so she can have a healthy baby.
Put her mind to ease.
Why didn't you just make her life easy from the start?
You're the one who did all sorts of abuse!
Why don't we all quit too.
I was thinking about that too.
I'm just going to stay here.
Shouldn't we be one as Mother?
Did we become gisaengs because we were fated with such great lives?
What are we going to do after we quit?
Mother earned and saved her entire life, so she doesn't have to worry if she doesn't work.
We can do whatever.
If we quit too, then wouldn't President Jang give up?
It's one thing if everyone who works here quits, but just us is useless.
Where are you going?
Oh, yes...
I guess you're taking food to Madame Oh?
Yes.
I don't suppose these are from food you bought with your own money, Manager Noh.
It is not appropriate, isn't it?
Yes.
Did the sashimi ingredients come in?
Yes.
Since you already packed them, take them to her.
No.
I'm back.
What happened yesterday?
I got drunk.
She was perfectly fine.
I realized she's only weak with soju...
but I couldn't just ask her to switch to soju in the middle.
Why couldn't you have?
Or try to persuade her with words.
She just won't listen, huh?
Since we agreed on that from the start.
Why is she like that?
Isn't it a given that you'd want to engage in skinship and you'd want to touch the person you like?
Hello.
Sa Ran is upstairs.
I guess you heard?
Yes. You must be very happy too, Mother.
Show her the way.
What's the prenatal name?
Starling. Father-in-law named it.
Is your father-in-law happy?
But I feel a bit burdened. He wants a girl, but what if it's a boy?
Then you can have the boy, and have more later.
Do you really vomit like they do on TV?
Less with food, but yesterday, after I smelled Father-in-law's aftershave.
My makeup scent is okay?
Yep.
My best friend is the best. Seeing how you ran straight here like this.
You need to be living in Korea and hear the baby call you Auntie. Must you really go?
I'll come once and you come once.
We can take rest vacations and see each other twice a year then.
Eat.
You haven't heard about Madame Oh, right?
What?
I don't know why my mom is like that.
What can I do? I have to leave the priesthood, if I don't like the temple, right?
Then, please just rest up without thinking about anything.
How are you doing?
I received a command to live upstairs, so I'm sentenced to the room.
From who? My father-in-law.
That is a command to be grateful for though.
Yes.
Right now, we're with Soon Deok...
Director Geum's madame is here
and she's making red bean porridge. So we're making pearls (rice balls) to go in it.
Since you mentioned it, I suddenly feel like eating some sweet bean porridge too.
I'll sneak downstairs and make some.
Sweet bean porridge?
Hey, they say a pregnant woman can't eat the food she smells while cooking.
Really?
Tell her I'll make it for her.
Kitchen Head says she'll make it for you, so send a chauffeur or whoever here to pick it up.
Is that really okay?
What?
We'd like to quit.
Unnie, call us if you change your mind too.
That won't happen.
Moonhee, Eonjeong, Jinah, and Okseong are all quiting too.
I guess their bellies are all full.
How do you know about a place like this too?
Come, when you want to drink malcha (matcha).
A tea made from Mal (horse)?
Not a horse you ride. A type of powdered green tea.
I see.
A human being's tastebuds are so crafty.
Since it's autumn, something warm like this is nice.
Yes.
Did our Gong Joo make a mistake?
It's not that.
By chance... is she pregnant?
No.
Actually if she were pregnant, we'd be so glad.
What's so dumbfounding and outrageous is...
They haven't joined room (consumated their marriage).
What do you mean they don't? They use separate rooms?
They share the same room but they sleep separately.
This whole time.
Because of rough sleep habits?
So naive of you. Nothing like that.
Once married, the spouses need to become one body and one mind.
You don't know what I'm talking about?
You mean, the two of them never once slept together?
Yes! Those two tricked everyone.
Why? Because Gong Joo said to.
So you mean... my Gong Joo is still the same as before she got married?
Yes, a married woman on paper only.
You can laugh? What's so happy?
Really?
Well of course. My Gong Joo isn't a girl who rolls her body around so carelessly.
Mrs. In-Law... this is a serious issue.
She's still a student, so it's understandable.
How so?
You would know too though, Mrs. In-Law. A man and a woman, become husband and wife.
But not consumating their marriage means there's something wrong.
And a very serious problem at that.
Maybe Ja is a little bit... insufficient?
Ja is perfectly fine.
How do you know that?
He's struggling in agony from not being able to consummate the marriage.
I guess it's because our Gong Joo is still young.
She goes to school and she studies.
What other thoughts would she have? I would be like her too actually.
Do you really think so?
Meet Gong Joo and talk to her calmly.
Ask her why exactly is her reason for that.
Supervisor.
For the Young Mistress.
What is it?
It's sweet red bean porridge.
You bought it?
No, Director Geum's madame.
You're back.
I said not to come downstairs.
I was feeling uneasy.
This is from Chauffeur Park.
Why is Director Geum's wife sending sweet bean porridge to you?
I was talking to Madame Oh over the phone earlier
and I just happened to mention I was going to make some.
But she said if I were to make it myself, I would be turned off by the smell
so she made it for me.
You should've told me.
Hurry and eat.
What are you doing?
The mother-in-law
couldn't even make some sweet bean porridge for the pregnant daughter-in-law?
I didn't make it because I didn't know.
If she had told me, why wouldn't I have made it for her?
How do you make it?
You don't know, do you?
You've only eaten the ones other people made for you.
To be honest, I've never made sweet bean porridge before.
What is this? The conception dream done by others
and sweet bean porridge by others too.
While the future grandmother does nothing.
Ah, stop nagging.
I'm not a kid.
Subtitles Provided by Team Gisaeng @Viki.com。.
You should sit comfortably and eat.
Is it really that good?!
Yes。.
Have some too, Mother.
Am I the one pregnant?
Should I bring the parkas?
It's not that cold yet.
I've never been to Seorak Mountain before.
It's Sa Ran。.
Hello?!
It's me。.
Yes。.
The sweet bean porridge was so delicious.
I made it not too sweet.
But it was so delicious I didn't even make it to the dining table, and I just ate it standing.
Tell me if you want to eat something, whatever it is. I'll make it and send it to you.
You have to eat everything you crave to eat while you're pregnant,
or else later on...
Regardless, you'll remember it forever.
Yes.
I'm always so grateful to you.
Oh 。。。I think you're getting a call。 Go ahead。.
Yes, please go ahead and hang up.
Okay。.
Did you make something for her?
Sweet bean porridge.
But she has her maiden parents.
She likes the food I make.
But I am more than capable to be a director.
I'll stop by my family's.
Why are you going alone?
She said to come alone.
The girls... a total of 14 quit.
The place would still be short on girls, even if 14 were to come in.
How long do you think she will last?
President Jang has an unyielding pride, so I'm not sure.
I don't think she will last a month.
In a way, she's pitiful.
She has money and nothing else.
I guess she wants to feel a sense of accomplishment belatedly in life.
She should start applying her heart positively and cultivate her good deeds.
So she can attract others.
Or she'll just become more lonely as she ages.
I hope she comes to some realizations this time.
Life needs to be lived reasonably.
And not by greed.
What?!
You... don't like Ja?
No。.
Why?!
I heard you two live as though you are unrelated. Is it true?
Ja said that?
I head it from your step-mother-in-law. Is it true?
Yes。.
Aigoo。.
What's the reason? Because you grew up with him, you can't develope different feelings?
I don't know。.
If you don't know, then who would know, kid?
Mabye you like some other guy or something?
No,
Ja would still be the best. I can share a room with Ja, but the thought of another guy is leery.
Your problem is very serious.
How is it serous? It's possible to live like siblings.
Grab anyone off the streets and ask them.
If it's normal for a married couple to live like siblings.
You are abnormal.
Just acknowledge differences. Not all married couples live the same way.
Do you have class on Monday?
Why?!
Let's go to the OB/GYN clinic.
Why would I go to a place like that?
Father, just a minute。.
Mom misses you。.
She's Nuna, what Mom?
She's married, so what Nuna?
Then you're Dad?
I am though. Actually, I was the one who bought him.
You be grandpa, Father. Soon, you'll have a grandchild anyway.
Hmm, have a seat。.
Sa Ran... did you buy her a present?
No。.
Oh... flowers.
Do flowers suffice? She's pregnant with your child.
You should get her a gift of jewels at a time like this.
Sa Ran isn't particularly fond of jewels.
Why would a woman be so-so about jewels.
Sa Ran is different from your average woman.
But she'll still like one bought by her husband.
You know so well.
If she feels stuffed up, then have her call her friends and come visit.
If she wishes to see someone, then have them come here to see her.
Tell her not to meet anyone she's not fond about seeing. Don't even think about them.
Yes。.
You know Audrey Hepburn pictures... go and get a big pretty portrait of her.
Why?!
They say a pregnant woman needs to keep on looking at beautiful faces to have a beautiful kid.
Ah。.
How do you know so much?
When my mother was pregnant with me,
she looked at Gregory Peck's picture.
You didn't hear about it?
Instead of Hepburn, hang a picture of Grace Kelly.
Hepburn is a bigger beauty.
Hepburn just has a unique face.
Not unique. It's noble.
Regardless, Kelly is a bigger beauty.
No,
I'll just hang a big picture of Sa Ran.
I don't wish for more, if the baby could look like Sa Ran.
Do that then.
Let's go。.
When I was pregnant, I didn't receive one jewel. Not even a gravel.
My mother did all that for you in my place, since I was busy.
Pearls and emerads.
You got all those.
I like getting it from my husband too.
Stop pestering.
You're about to be a grandma, but you just get greedier and greedier.
Grandmother, where are you?!
My friend's in Shingal.
Why there?
Just because. I was bored by myself.
You don't think about your granddaughter getting bored by herself?
You are always so busy. You only come home at night.
Go and sleep at your parent's for a night.
I'll come the day after tomorrow.
The ajumma's gone too.
All right。.
It's raining.
Have a good time there and come back then.
Okay。.
We should've eaten dinner out then.
My grandma went to her friend's in Shingal.
I hope it's not raining in Kangwondo too.
Just a passing rain, I'm sure.
You should call them. It's a rare trip for them.
Great job you do. Such cheap lips you got for a man.
Is there nothing else to talk about?
No, my mother was onto it.
She knew we were sleeping apart.
Thanks to you, I'm going to have to go to the OB/GYN.
Why?!
Don't go. A lot of OB/GYN doctors are men.
Gong Joo, come out and set the table.
Yes。.
The weather on Seorak Mountain is nice.
That's good。
I guess you're hungry.
Is there any rice here? It's raining, so we don't know when we'll be able to go out.
Wow, this autum rain is really fierce.
It's nice to have me here, right?
Yep。.
Here.
Did the helper go somewhere?
She went to her family's.
When it's pouring like this, we should be making mung bean pancakes to eat.
It's true.
Is there any flour? I'll make it. I'm good at it.
Oh, there is。.
It'd be nice if we had zucchini too. And green chilis.
We have those.
If you're hungry, then drink some milk first.
I'll wait and eat mung bean pancakes deliciously.
Mung bean pancakes and soju are perfect together.
Ta-da!
Wait a minute.
Why?!
I didn't tell you where, so how did you know where Ra Ra's family's home was?
Oh。
I asked the hospital.
Lie. Tell me the truth.
Actually, last time, after I heard about it from you...
I looked up Ra Ra's address and sent someone there.
Who?!
An actress who's name isn't known. To inquire.
So then?
She said they told her they didn't raise the baby and someone took the baby home with them.
It seems no one had come to look for you.
I told you that would be the case.
I don't resent them anymore.
They must have had some unavoidable reasons.
Yeah, let's think that way.
I never knew how yummy soju was.
It's because you're drinking with a good person.
It's true.
I like how you're sentimental and tender.
Anyone would have no choice but to be sentimental and tender with Ra Ra ssi. Why?
Because you're lovely.
My face or my heart?
Both.
Ra Ra ssi is beautiful everywhere on the face, but do you know which part is most attractive?
Hmm。。。I don't know。.
Lips!
Why are the days moving so slow? I want to be married quickly.
They say even if the rooster's neck gets twisted, the dawn of the day will still arrive.
Now that I think about it, we've never danced together.
You feel like dancing?
Subtitles Provided by Team Gisaeng @Viki.com。
I told her I'm quitting.
Right away?
After a month, to close things. So she can find someone.
What are you going to do?
For the kitchen head...
especially since it's specialty gisaeng house cuisine,
it's hard to find replacement.
But a butler like me is easily replaced.
So then? You're saying you're going to stick here?
Am I a gum? To stick?
For a man...
I'll be back.
Why is that broad always dying in the middle of the night?
If she wants to die so badly, then die without telling anyone.
She doesn't even die, but she keeps on making other people suffer.
Mother, Sa Ran is with child.
Mother, you wanted her as your granddaughter-in-law.
Your foolish son should've followed your will sooner.
But due to this and that greed, we couldn't have a smooth start.
I failed to act like an elder.
Mother, please be born again through Sa Ran.
Then I will give you the filial piety, the duties of the son I failed to give you when you were alive.
Please do that. I plead with you.
Are you hungry?
I suddenly crave for kimbap (Korean sushi roll).
You're going to make it?
Yes, even if roughly.
Wake the ahjummas.
One of the ahjummas is gone,
since it's her turn to go back to her family and the other's down with a cold.
No, you don't want to contract her cold then.
What are you going to put inside?
We don't have any radish pickles, so seasoned spinach, ham and eggs.
And with cheese too.
The rice?
There's some left.
What's Da Mo doing?
Sleeping.
Go on up. Wake Da Mo and send him down.
I can just make it. Da Mo ssi doesn't know how to make kimbap.
It's all on the internet. He just need to put the ingredients in and roll it. Go on up.
They say if you smell and make it, then you won't be able to eat it, didn't they?
So hurry and listen to me.
Just give me the rough instructions.
I even made your mother-in-law curry and seaweed soup, on her birthday.
Ah Da Mo, wake up.
My daughter-in-law wants to eat kimbap.
Kimbap?
I couldn't sleep, kept thinking about it.
The ham is too thick.
You just worry about yours.
But at least she feels like eating rice. It's a relief.
It's true.
Did you add salt?
No.
Are you not fully awake? Put some devotion into it. Cooking is about devotion.
Who said that?
Your grandma... to your mom.
Your mom didn't know how to make anything when she first married here.
She only knew how to make fried rice omelette wraps and soybean stew.
The only things she learned.
So she's come a long ways now.
This isn't rolling easily.
Give to me.
Find out how this should be rolled.
The pictures look a whole lot more real than that.
Try to make it like this.
Hurry and read the instructions on how to roll.
Roll slowly and undo the seaweed roller from outside.
It's working.
How is it?
Very edible. It's good.
Eat the ends. Leave the pretty ones for Sa Ran to eat.
Father, you're really good.
It'll be dry to just eat this alone, right?
Don't get out of bed. Just eat there.
Here, please have some.
Oh my.
Try it.
It's so delicious.
Eat it with the water kimchi, so you don't get indigestion.
Strangely, I can't eat kimchi well.
Thank you, Father. I'll eat it well.
I pretty much did all this.
Right?
Yes!
If Starling wants to eat something,
then don't worry about the time or how. Just eat it ASAP.
Yes.
Good night, Father.
Hey, you come out.
Why?
She only has a few. Don't steal them.
I won't steal them to eat.
Chew it well.
Father is really shocking with a capital S. He even did the seaweed part.
I know.
I guess he's more fond of a grandchild than his son.
You feel hurt?
No, I like it.
Since you're eating it so deliciously.
Now that I'm married, I am truly so happy.
I'm the one. Now, my only wish is to give birth to a healthy child, and nothing else.
Oh, so did Gong Joo go to the clinic yesterday?
They say there's nothing wrong. Just psychological.
It's because she's still young.
It's nice to do volunteer work, but put a limit to it.
You get colds because you're fatigued.
I'll have to get you a humidifier in here. It's dry.
I think Ra Ra's room needs a humidifier on.
Yes.
I'll be back.
Yes.
Try to have some of this abalone porridge.
What?
I don't like the smell.
Then... should I make something spicy and hot?
I don't have the appetite.
So then?
Father and Da Mo ssi made it for me.
The kimbap?
Yes.
Yes, dad.
You're doing okay?
Yes, and I heard you were doing good too.
Yep. Next week is Gong Joo's mom's birthday.
What should we do? I don't know any restaurants.
But because of son-in-law Ah,
it's not quite right to just eat at some meat restaurant, right?
I'll wire some money, so just eat out with Gong Joo and them.
I'm not in any position to come out.
Not even a day?
Yes, for this and that.
But Gong Joo's mom would be disappointed.
This year's going to be hard. Next year, I'll take care of her birthday.
Tell her nicely.
Alright.
Da Mo... does he have any worn hat?
I'll call again. Yes.
He does.
I'll look for it. Don't get up.
Let's get our story straight.
Mother-in-law, here.
What's this?
I got a necklace for you.
Maybe some cash instead?
Guess what today's menu is?
Let's see... broiled potatoes?
Soybean stew!
It's going to be yummy.
Charles?
My birthday...
do you think Sa Ran and him will give me a gift or some spending money?
About that.
She says we should eat out. She'll send me some money, so go with Gong Joo and Ja.
Where?
I suppose we choose.
Sa Ran isn't going to reserve it for us?
She says they won't be able to come this time.
Why?
I guess she's not in any position to come out.
She can't get a day away?
You know she serves her in-laws there.
A step-mother-in-law is still a mother-in-law,
and he doesn't show his face on the mother-in-law's birthday?
No matter what a rich son-in-law he might be.
Sa Ran still doesn't have her stance steady yet.
She says she'll put on a proper meal next year.
This is what I get for starving so long so I can eat a good meal on my birthday?
Go and die?
She looks down on us.
What looking down?
She says she'll send the money.
Just money?
The heart is what's important.
Sincerity!
Wow, an actress is noneother.
It's embarrassing for me.
Hang the dad's photo too.
Starling...
If you're a daughter like grandpa says, then look just like your mom, okay?
I think she'll be pretty too, even if she looks like you.
When you put on the woman's wig and the hairpin on our honeymoon,
you were so sexy and pretty.
Look just like your mom only.
What's that?
$2,000-dollar hat.
That's $2,000 dollars you say?
Yes, I got it through charity auction site. Jang Hyuk wore it before.
I see that you're out of your mind.
It's not a waste of money, since the money is used toward something good.
Take it off.
It's the hat that Jang Hyuk picked out.
I'm wearing it to sleep.
You like an actor over your husband?
Does the husband give me love or something?
And Jang Hyuk gives you love?
Just looking at him... just thinking about him...
The endorphin.
Look in the mirror and see what you look like.
Who said I'm wearing it to look pretty?
His sweat smell.
Leave!
Lead yourself a solitary life then.
She can't act her age-worth.
If you keep on doing that.
I could leave home to find Jang Hyuk.
Dre, what's wrong with your grandma?
She's really gone nuts. When her great husband is right in front of her eyes.
The cold wind is starting to blow slowly.
Here.
You see this, right?
The black moving thing is the amniotic fluid.
The little round thing on the bottom... you see that? That's your baby.
Let's listen to the baby's heart.
It's beating very nice and regularly.
Your baby's healthy.
What did they say?
Look how tiny.
What did they say was the due date?
My daughter's coming after such a long time.
Ja?
At the library with Gong Joo.
You should've called so I could've made something delicious for you.
I don't feel like anything.
Why do you look so haggard?
Should I get some tonics for you?
No.
Stop going around doing the performances.
I'm pregnant.
I haven't gone to the hospital, but I'm certain.
I'll live here with Kyle until it's time to go to the U. S.
You're not happy?
You're happy?
I am.
Don't sigh!
It's a gift from above.
Did you marry?
You're not in the position to say that.
You didn't need to take that after me, you know.
You're the first person I've told about it.
What did Kyle say?
He's very happy, of course.
What's the rush?
If the family members findout...
These days, they say the baby in the womb is a dowry.
When are you guys going to get married?
Not for a while. Can't.
Why?
It's too hard.
The sickness is killing me.
You should at least marry before you have the kid.
My mother-in-law in America needs toundergo breast-cancer surgery.
Breast-cancer?
Early stage.
All things are pointed...
to just giving birth to the baby first.
Be good to Kyle when he moves in here.
You're going to live together before you marry?
Why not?
Most people move in together before they marry in America anyway.
Is this America?
Supervisor Kim.
Yes, Sir.
Find a salon somewhere and drop me off.
A salon?
Yep.
Wait for me at the cafe on the second floor.
Welcome.
Is there anyone you're looking for specifically?
No.
Take the jacket off first, for now.
And go inside to change into this.
You want a cut, right?
Curls.
Oh, a perm?
Yes.
Just puff the roots, right?
It's such a pest to dry the hair every morning.
So that it doesn't come undone right away...
make them very wavy. Tight curls.
Yes.
If you get a perm, you'll look like Beethoven.
Omo!
This way.
Alright.
Dear, you'll be a grandpa soon.
Gong Joo is pregnant?
Ra Ra.
Ra Ra?
It's embarrassing.
Really?
She comes and tells me like matter-of-factly.
She's moving in tomorrow with Kyle.
Her morning sickness is so severe, she doesn't feel comfortable being seen by sister-in-law.
It came out very nicely, didn't it?
Yes.
You worked hard. Thank you.
Oh... how is it?
A perm...
is what you got?
Yep. I don't like be bothered in the morning.
We're staying too long, aren't we?
No, we're open until 3'o clock.
I want to raise our child like the Jewish people do.
What do you think?
I like it.
Jewish fathers get off work early and always eat dinner with the family.
And converse nonstop.
Hence, they can teach their children wisdom about life naturally.
The children get a grasp of that on their own as well.
In our country, we scold children when they talk to the adults, saying they are mannerless.
Especially my father.
But Jewish people do that on purpose so that their children can think about logics.
And they're trained to speak logically.
How important is that, for working in the society?
They talk to each other using logics.
And when the opposing person is right on logics, then they accept it and concede cleanly.
Because we don't have that kind of training, people in our country can't speak in public well.
They freeze.
Yep.
But how can you get home from work early everyday to have dinner with the family together?
Is that a realistic possibility in our nation?
It's possible for me, of course.
I'll just make that the Eun Sung climate.
I'm going to get rid of the work dinner culture.
If it's really necessary, then a simple lunch instead.
It's not because I want to save on money.
But I want our baby to read a lot of books,
instead of sending the child to all sorts of tutor centers.
If he or she reads a lot of books, then wisdom will be gained.
And wise people
don't cause nuisance on their family, their neighbor, or the society.
And families or society welcome people like that.
Yep.
Not Shin Saimdang, but Dan Saim-dang (play on Shin Saimdang, a Joseon era female writer and thinker).
They say a lot of couples fight over disagreement over how to raise their children.
But we agree on how we teach our children too.
We are such a match made in heaven.
If I were wiser sooner, I wouldn't have said to end things with you.
And I wouldn't have had to go through that suffering.
Andre!
Dad's coming home.
Wait. He's Grandpa now.
Andre.
You didn't eat rice again today, didn't you?
How can we give you meat only everyday?
It's not good for you.
Oh... wait.
Did you do something to your hair?
I was tired of it.
You got a perm?
Why would you do that?
It's so-so?
Of course, it's so-so.
The kids would flip if they saw you.
Why?
Instead of a chairman,
you look like some gay ahjumma.
Should I wash it?
Washing won't do anything.
The curls need to be loosened with setting and drying.
Take off the clothes and sit.
Sa Ran went to the hospital today.
They determined she is six weeks pregnant.
Take that off!
Why are you wearing Da Mo's hat?
Did Sa Ran tell you?
No.
Your trouble is that you like your husband too much!
