New Tales of Gisaeng
Why are you wearing Da Mo's hat?
Did Sa Ran tell you?
The trouble with you... is that you like your husband too much.
That's old talk.
So the grandma has some pride too?
Quit calling me grandma.
The grandma, who's listening, dislikes it?
You're that happy about it? Yep.
I'm dying to see what little rascal will come out.
If the employees saw how you look now...
Politicians all do this too, for TV appearances.
Candidate Min came out for a dinner meeting...
He showed up with makeup on his face,
saying he didn't get a chance to wash up after the broadcast.
Get them loosened tomorrow with chemicals.
These were done with so much work, why loosen them?
Why are you doing such a thing you never did before?
At least ask your wife before you do such things.
The kids must be here. Go lay down. I'll say you're asleep.
I guess Father's home?
Yes.
We're back.
Is Father washing up?
He washed... and he's taking a nap.
If he's napping now, he won't be able to sleep later.
Let's go.
They left.
Oh geez.
Mother.
Why?
What did Father say when you told him we got the confirmation from the hospital?
He's so happy that his mood is totally "up".
I plan to move into Mom's tomorrow.
Why?
Together with Kyle.
With Kyle?
Yes.
I don't suppose you mean you will live together.
That's right.
But why would you?
You should marry first if you want to live together.
We have our reason.
Don't ask anymore questions. You'll find out everything slowly.
For now, I plan to move just the necessities first.
What does your mom say?
Just... to go ahead.
Maybe she's with child.
I'm not sure.
I think that is really the case.
Her parents got pregnant before they married too.
Had we known, we should've married her off sooner.
Father... your hair... did you do something to it?
Would you believe that he got a perm?
But why?
For looks.
Come and have your meals.
What is today's course now?
Today... I didn't get to put much effort into it.
Our child... you should only focus on the baby.
The accompaniments... they are too much.
Father, why are you sitting like that?
Because it's comfortable.
Put your leg down.
What's the big deal?
Did they say the baby was situated well?
She said just not to do anything strenuous.
I should've been the one to dream the conception dream... in a dashing way.
You could still dream one in the future.
Shall we go down to the basement after we eat and have some family entertainment time?
Omo! Really?
Of course that'd be great!
Ahjumma.
Yes.
When are we making kimchi for the winter?
In about two weeks... but why?
For this year, I'd like to have bossam (wrapped) kimchi. Do you know how to pickle that?
I'll give it a try.
Do you know?
No.
For bossom kimchi, instead of cutting the cabbage, you have to salt the entire cabbage as a whole.
You salt them first, then instead of the stem part, you cut at the leaf part only.
Then, you unfold one or two leaves around the part that looks like a big rice bowl.
Since the leaves are large, they would go over the shape of the bowl, right?
That, you can adjust later on.
Then you mix together sliced radish, various fruits,
and sliced cabbage stems.
Add oysters, water parsley, pine nuts, chestnuts, shiitake mushrooms, rock ear mushrooms.
And the most important one... small octopus.
Oh, and dried corvina... get the biggest one and pull out the meat parts...
And mix all that into it.
Oh, and frozen pollack too, with pine nuts and shredded red chili peppers. Put them pretty on top.
The rest you stuff into the cabbages tightly, then you pile the cabbage heads neatly into a pile.
Wait till that thrilling kimchi juice tickles out as they ripen. Then, you take one out and it's so delicious.
If two people eat it together, and one of them dies, the other wouldn't even notice because it's so delicious.
How do you know that so well, Dear?
My mom used to always make them before she got old.
But still...
You get a concave dish and you lay the cabbage in it like this,
and it looks completely like a flower.
The best look and the best taste.
These days, the ones at the restaurant are from poor ingredients.
They just look like bossam kimchi from the outside, but the taste isn't right.
It's true. They taste bitter and just so-so.
And another thing, when you make winter kimchi...
Yes, Mr. Chairman?
Those women who don't know how to make food tend to just rub the insides red.
But radish pickling seasoning is strong
and you can't get the kimchi to get a fresh taste like that.
If you want to keep the inherent fresh taste of cabbage alive,
you have to apply just the right amount.
Then the kimchi will taste and look fresh, and that fresh taste lasts a long time.
And the crisp flavor.
Yes, Mr. Chairman.
Dear, you sound like a culinary instructor.
Since I grew up eating that way.
Now I want to eat bossam kimchi.
Our child... just wait two months.
No, a month and half?
That's right mother, she's pregnant.
But how?
I'm so upset.
Now you know how I feel, don't you?
Since they said you were 6-weeks pregnant,
your father's mood's gone up completely, so...
It's as though he's someone else.
Human beings are surely so influenced by their mood.
Come on down!
Yes.
I told you, don't do anything. I'll do everything.
But there's still some things I need to do.
What?
Like underwear and things.
I'll do them all. We're about to get married. Why worry about that stuff?
Miss, please sit and relax.
Just move your mouth only.
Did you finish packing your things?
I don't have too many things anyway.
I called my father and said, "Father, you're about to become a grandpa."
And he's elated beyond himself.
Did you have dinner yet?
Yes.
Our Ra Ra needs to eat something, but I'm worried about her.
Subtitles by Team Gisaeng @ Viki. ComThank you Gisaeng Team. A special thank to our hardest working subbers: Dramadramok & Jane316.
Did you hire a kitchen head yet?
Can't you reconsider once more?
How can I find someone who's an expert in Gibang Cusine? [Gibang = Gisaeng house]
Tomorrow, your sister and Kyle will be coming to live with us.
Rara?
She's not just one person. You know what I mean, right?
During the beginning part of pregnancy, women can be very sensitive and easily irritable.
Be understanding.
Don't instigate her.
Yes.
They made a baby already?
He's a foreigner, so he's different indeed. Then... what does that make me?
A maternal uncle?
Yep! And I'll be maternal auntie.
You don't feel anything? We should be the one pregnant.
You evade me? Your wife's spanking you for discipline.
Just a wife by image.
If you were really my wife, I'll take the beatings or second degree strikes.
Second degree strike?
<...... -empty...... ->
Today, Father was totally...
That was the first time I saw him like that all my life...
and that was a first for the family to gather like that.
He seems completely like a different person.
The chairman's transformation is to be acquitted.
I laughed so much today.
How nice is it to live like this?
Father is finally realizing what family bliss is.
It's all thanks to you.
Because we have a good daughter-in-law that came in here.
How is it thanks to me?
It's thanks to Starling.
I've had a lot of happiness during the 25 years.
But you went through a lot, emotionally, too.
I've just become attached to you. And, you're already leaving.
I'll come back to pester you.
Are you sure you can live without bickering with your mom?
Father, won't you come swimming with me?
Should I?
Hello.
It's me.
Nothing's wrong at home, right?
Of course.
What about Dad?
He went out for a walk. Why? Something to tell us?
I...
am pregnant.
A baby?
Yes.
Really?
Yes.
How many months?
Six weeks. That's why I couldn't attend that day, on your birthday.
My father-in-law wants me to be extra careful.
Oh my... how great is this?! Oh my world!
Don't you feel stuffy here?
Not at all.
When I was an ascetic, we often slept with five to a room.
After living in such a grand mansion in the U. S...
your ability to adapt is really great.
It's all in the mindset.
If you think it feels like hell, then, even a palace would feel like prison.
Sa Ran and them came out with Starling as the baby's name before birth.
Is it really necessary to come up with a fetus name?
Well... only if there is a suitable name.
If not, then we can just call it "kiddo" then.
Kiddo?
Is there something I can help with?
There isn't.
You guys are having to eat noodles because of me.
I'm happy.
You said to make it spicy, so I did.
Delicious!
Mother.
It's too sweet.
It needs to be spicy and sweet, to be yummy.
But sugar isn't good for the body, you see.
That's why I used brown sugar.
Brown sugar is still sugar.
It's so-so?
Yeah, me too.
Also, when you boil them,
you have to add cold water, little by little, so they will be chewy.
Right now, the noodles are flared out.
How do you know so much?
Since I lived as an ascetic at the temple,
I've developed some sense about noodles.
I see.
Ascetic monks prepare food too?
The temple I was at...
we didn't have people who were there to give alms, so we did everything.
Even tended to the farm fields.
Too bad there aren't any fields to grow vegetables in Las Vegas.
I heard you can swim with a cup on your forehead.
Should I show you?
Yep.
Omo, you're so good!
Yesterday, President Jang asked me if I could just stay there.
She can't find anyone, right?
Of course not.
These days the reservations are halved too.
That bad?
Yep.
Head Madame... I think you should prepare yourself.
You may be making your grand entrance to Buyonggak.
I don't know about that.
She could hand it to someone else.
Then she'd be really rotten.
We need you to make the comeback, so all the members will gather again.
Will she really close the only remaining gisaeng house?
Welcome.
Yes.
You are the owner of a big restaurant, I see.
Yes.
You struggled through a lot of hardships in your youth, didn't you?
How do you know?
You are successful and not lacking anything now.
But just one thing.
I think you need to be careful about your health.
Health?
Yes!
Get a brain scan tomorrow and take precautions.
Excuse me, are you a Guru?
No.
Let's go, Dad.
Could you give me your phone number?
All you have to do is be careful about your health.
My friends are waiting.
Okay.
Master... thank you.
Thank you, Master.
Yes.
It's you, you... you and yours...
You and yours... Hurray and happy!
Honey.
We're going to become grandpa and grandma!
Gongju or Saran?
Saran.
Really?
Yes.
Thank you God.
I will return this honor to you, Lord.
Alright.
Sister-in-law?
Yep.
Rara's also pregnant.
She and Kyle moved in with Gong Joo and them today.
I guess she was jealous of you?
That girl...
So our kids will be friends too.
If only she were to live in Korea.
Her morning sickness is bad, and her mother-in-law in the U. S. is ill too,
so I think they'll marry after the birth.
Don't be cynical with Kyle.
What did I do?
You said it's too bad Las Vegas has no fields to grow vegetables.
That's a cynical remark, what else?
A man... and a blue-eyed at that...
how much does he know about food to be nagging me?
What nagging? If it's correct, you should listen.
What's going to happen if we eat a couple of spoonfuls of sugar?
We only have one year to us, to bicker around.
If I'm a bother and pest to you, then tell me.
Why would my child be a bother and pest?
You're saying Kyle is then.
Alright.
If you want to be treated well in Las Vegas later on.
Do well.
Excuse me, Dan Se ssi...
How about if you take up dancing again?
Things like that take time.
Even if it's just on the weekends.
With me.
But you'll be quitting here soon.
Those are the words, but are they the meanings?
I like dancing too.
Did you... dance on the stage when you were young?
No, I've been enjoying watching, but I'm thinking maybe I should start trying it too.
I'm not sure.
Think about it.
Ahjussi, the table in the dressing room is wobbly too.
What kind of tea is this?
Jujube tea.
So you don't get a cold, after swimming.
Oh, it's nice.
Ever seen your husband swim?
He's totally a seal.
I'm totally jealous.
Well our son... good at horseback riding and good at swimming. Good at everything!
If I were to confess one thing...
In high school, I thought about going to College of Physical Ed.
Because you were so fond of sports?
Yes!
But because I was afraid I'd disappoint you, I agonized about it alone and gave up on it.
I...
have done many good deeds and I have lived diligently.
I think I developed a supernatural power.
Supernatural power?
I saw a middle-aged man at the swimming pool today.
That person's life, you see...
flashed before me, in a panoramic way.
Can't be.
Just listen.
The man came and sat near me.
So I glanced at him and talked to him.
I said, "You own a big restaurant, I see"...
And the man was startled by it and asked me how I knew.
Omo!
So then I said, "You went through a lot of suffering of hardships in your youth, didn't you?"
He was even more startled, and asked me how I knew.
Really?
But that man...
I saw briefly, that he would have a stroke in about ten years and become partially paralyzed.
So then...
I said he is successful and lacking in nothing now.
Except one. I told him to be careful about his health.
Especially cerebropathia. So then the man asks me if I am a Guru, you know.
You must be kidding.
Why would I? It's real.
Just that mister... or other people too?
Just that man.
What's wrong?
Is that something so shocking?
I'll bring it to you.
No, I'll answer it.
What?
It startled you?
No...
Did Father's story scare you?
It's just a fluke.
What?
What do we do?
About what?
Father.
It's possible that he's been possessed.
Possessed?
I heard something.
What are you talking about?
Before we got married...
The day you were injured and went to the Oriental Medicine Clinic.
Yes?
Do you remember that woman who was sitting on the chair across from us?
I don't.
There was a middle-aged woman.
You went in to get the acupuncture.
And she asked me if it's true we weren't married yet.
Yeah?
So I said we weren't.
Tell me.
She said not to.
Not to get married?
Yes.
Why?
So I asked her why.
She said your family has strong ancestral spirits or something like that.
I was so shocked I can't really remember well.
But the conclusion is...
She said if we marry, you might become possessed.
So I shouldn't marry you.
What if father's possessed?
No way.
Can't be.
He's been strange since yesterday.
Like a different person.
That's because of the hospital pregnancy confirmation.
And he's so happy from that.
Don't worry.
Who gets possessed in this day and age? And my father of all people?
My father... the ghosts would run away from him, startled by his fierce spirit.
That would be a relief... but...
He's like an ahjumma.
I heard on TV that if female ghost enters a man, the man could become woman-like.
It's just a fluke.
Since her father-in-law told her not to go outside the home for fear something might happen...
just imagine how he will be once the baby is born.
I know!
Dear, every morning when you wake up, try and remember what you dreamed.
In case of a conception dream?
But I'm not usually accurate.
A conception dream wouldn't be inaccurate.
If she gives birth to a sturdy baby boy, there'll be something for us too, I'm sure.
To a household like that, a house is nothing.
Is house the issue right now?
When the daughter-in-law held their generational line?
A house is just one thing.
I wish I could live in a house that had a yard.
What about you?
A house with a courtyard is a real house, of course.
How are things coming along so smoothly?
We must be ready to burst with blessings late in life.
Why did you marry, after hearing that kind of a thing?
Because I love you.
Even if you love me, you would still be wavered.
Upon hearing that, I erased my thought of marrying you slowly.
I did think it was a possibility.
But, if by some rare chance, \ it did happen,
I thought I would try and fight it with willpower.
And if in the end, I fail to, I would just look after you.
Look after me how?
Be the wife of a clapping exorcist?
Yeah... if I had to live that way, I would.
And do what it takes to look after you.
I feel so touched.
Father really needs to know a truth like this.
There's no need to tell him.
It's better that he doesn't know.
Yes?
Bedtime drinking-water.
We have some.
Where's Father?
In the bathroom.
Um...
Is Father's condition good lately?
Yup. He's gotten even better, since he's eating healthy foods only.
By chance... does he get severe headaches?
Not at all.
Please rest.
Okay.
Don't go around carrying stuff like that.
Yes.
Not long ago, I went to Chungchun golf course with my friends.
Whenever someone made a shot, the women there clapped their hands like this.
Saying, Nassa, Nassa!
You see.
Nassa, Nassa?
Then I found out, when it's crowded there,
the golf course doesn't have enough caddies.
So the village women from the neighborhood...
They had them each wear a cap and work by the hour.
The women saw that the caddies...
said "nice shot, nice shot!" you see.
They heard that as "nassa" so they said nassa, nassa!
You don't play golf, brother-in-law?
I've never played at all.
We probably won't play golf.
Why?
It's time wasted. If you want to play golf...
then you need to go to the practice range for a month or two first.
Then, when you go out to the field, that takes all day.
Then you do the roundsand you wash, and you come home for dinner.
I can't play because I cherish time.
If you use that time to read books and study,
imagine how much benefit you'd get.
Though it's one thing if you have to do it, for business.
We should definitely not play golf either.
Doing this all day long.
And letting time, which is as precious as blood, go idle and spend money.
And damage nature.
It's true.
I heard that the residents in Kangwon-do are throwing a fit because of the golf courses.
But it's exercising.
Going to the park and walking around for an hour or two is plenty exercise,
and it's free.
I'm just not fond of him in each and every matter.
Kyle?
He thinks he's the only one who's great.
How is she going to live with that hard-grained character... our Ra Ra?
But they get along so well.
He only took off the temple garment.
He's still living like a monk.
In Talmudic thoughts, a man's life is divided into seven stages.
Five. After marriage, a donkey.
He walks with the heavy baggage of family.
Six. Middle age, a dog.
Guarding and fighting for his family vigilantly.
Seven. Old age, a monkey. He becomes child-like, but no one will show him any interest.
It's true, isn't it?
Even if you become like a money, I'll show a ton of interest in you, okay?
Want me to tell you something interesting?
Yes.
Once upon a time, in the household of an excellency.
There was a son who studied well and was bright.
However, one day, a painting that was said to be precious...
a spooky landscape painting with a black waterfall came to them as a gift.
A black waterfall?
Not a white waterfall, but a black waterfall.
Even though the painting is spooky, since it's said to be a precious painting...
The Excellency who cherished his son hung the painting in the son's room.
But after that day, the son never came out from the room.
He ate his meals in the room and he only stayed in his room, day after day.
The Excellency and his wife became worried.
So one day, they poked a hole in the son's room screen.
And took a look inside.
The son was doing nothing.
Just staring at the landscape painting.
While smiling sweetly.
The Excellency and his wife wondered why the son was like that...
Then they were suddenly very startled.
Why?
As it became nighttime.
The landscape painting the son was staring at...
The black waterfall began swaying like real water.
Then, from inside the waterfall, a woman's face...
Came into sight.
I'm scared!
To the son...
"Play with me!" she said.
The black waterfall...
It was actually the ghost's hair.
It's so scary.
So the son was bewitched by the ghost and was staring only at the painting.
Why do you tell me a story like that just before bedtime?
Yes.
They all...
dislike me so much.
It's not that.
Then, why is everyone leaving?
It's not that they're leaving because they dislike you.
Was Oh Hwa Ran really that great to you, and all the employees?
She treated us like human beings.
I, too, tried to do well.
I'm not a heartless person.
It is due to the feeling of attachment.
The fondness we've built up together all these years, as we pulled Buyonggak together.
I plan to announce Buyonggak's closing.
Really?
Wasn't it what you all wanted?
I pled, but you all leave.
I'm in no position to say this.
But why don't you just call Madame Oh to come back?
I don't want to.
Why?
So she can roar in high spirits?
It wouldn't be that, of course.
Like the saying, "losing is winning"...
Losing is losing. It's not winning.
If Buyonggak closes, then what about the remaining employees and the gisaengs?
They'll figure something out.
There is the saying.
Poverty that is beyond cure.
You don't know?
Madame President.
My grandma said this.
The biggest offense among all offenses, is to cut the food line of others.
She said I ought not to cut off another's food line carelessly, no matter the circumstance.
Please reconsider, if possible.
Cut off what? I'm just closing the doors.
I'm just shutting down Buyonggak.
How can I run a business where no ants come?
When even the kitchen lead quits.
The gisaengs too... all the good ones quit.
What am I suppose to do?
If you close this place, how will the remaining employees eat?
Just consider it as you doing a good deed.
I wish you would reconsider.
Manager Noh...
you really don't have anyone?
I don't, of course.
I realize in life...
you can still be lonely, even if you have a husband.
Is that so?
A human being is born to life alone too.
Loneliness seems to be the life of a human being.
Madame President... today, you have...
such an aura and you're captivating.
Now, there's only two months left to this year.
Indeed.
Mother?
Is Ra Ra feeling ill?
Ra Ra said she wanted to eat ddeokbbeokgi, so I tried to make it.
I found the frozen rice cakes, but the sauce bottle is out of chili pepper powder.
I'm sure you have the main bottle somewhere, but I couldn't find it.
Why does she crave ddeokbbeokgi at this hour?
Tell her I'll make it for her later, in the morning.
What she craves, she should eat it right away.
This?
It is.
It's sun-dried chili powder, right?
You even know the sun-dried chili powder is good?
Of course.
Please go in and sleep, Mother.
What?
How am I going to live a year like this?
She's my daughter, but does she think she's the only one who's ever been pregnant?
<...... -empty...... ->
It's done.
Careful and slow.
I can live now.
Is it pretty good, Honey?
It's so yummy!
Wake up.
Grill me some meat.
Meat?
You're not going to eat nuts and seeds?
Meat!
But meat in the morning would be too heavy.
Maybe the new bride ate it.
That whole bowl?
I suppose the two of them ate it together.
Oh.
Hurry and thaw the sirloin. So we can roast it for the chairman.
Yes.
Did you sleep well, Father?
I told you, it was just briefly yesterday.
I think so.
Ah Da Mo!
Yes.
Let's arm wrestle.
Do it!
Come and eat.
After we arm wrestle.
Are you grilling meat, Mother?
Yeah... your father said he wanted to have some.
Honey, come and be the judge.
You would lose, of course, Dear.
Why are you squeezing already?
You're the one who is.
I didn't squeeze.
That is just my grip.
Ready...
S-t-a-r-t!
How is this possible?
You lost on purpose, didn't you?
Did you eat some fresh giseng last night or something?
Let's do it with just grips.
In the evening. I'm so hungry that I can't flex.
You're not tired of it?
No.
Buy some makgeolli (raw rice wine).
Makgeolli?
Yep! One keg.
One keg?
When it comes to alcohol, makgeolli is the best.
But you like cognac, Father.
Subtitles Provided by Team Gisaeng @Viki.com。.
This one.
Okay.
Have you ever arm wrestled with Father before?
Of course not.
My father keeps on changing.
Father wasn't such a strong man before.
Don't worry.
Are there any good movies out?
Of course there are.
It's President Jang.
Hello?!
It's me.
Yes, Madame President. How are you?!
Madame Oh's phone is off.
Because she keeps on getting calls from clients.
Hand me over to her.
One moment, please。.
Hello?!
Meet me at twelve at Seorabol.
I have a previous engagement today during the day.
Then, in the evening.
Yes。
I'll make the reservation for 6:30.
Alright, see you later.
She says to meet?
Yeah.
I guess she's ready to wave her white flag.
I wouldn't know.
Symptoms of spirit possession.
Ra Ra?!
Washing her hair.
I heard.
From mother-in-law?
I stopped by the hospital. It's confirmed?
Yes。.
Receive it joyfully.
But it's embarrassing. They can't marry right away too.
Where's Kyle?
At lesson.
I came.
Congratulations。.
Yep.
Is it very hard on you?
I can't eat anything bland.
Eat lunch here before you leave.
Okay.
A long time ago, my wish was...
to have a swelled-up belly and have morning sickness.
Hello?!
It's Sa Ran。.
Yes。.
Are you busy?
No, is there something you want to eat.
No。.
A friend of my maternal mom's... she seems possessed. So, she wanted to ask someone.
Do you, by chance, know anyone?
Those things... the people who do trances know.
I know someone who knows about those things. I'll ask her and call you back.
Yes。.
She must not be over sixty then.
Yes。.
Can someone who is older like that still get possessed by a spirit?
Would it have anything to do with age?
Yes。.
Lunch... let's eat out.
Where should I make the reservation?
A meat house.
She was a high school math teacher up until the year before last, before she was entranced.
She said she was very accurate.
She must have a lot of clients.
She doesn't accept more than five appointments a day.
She prays daily, it seems.
A Buddhist nun, I know well, called her. And she said she would vacate some time this afternon.
And the phone number...
Yes。.
Thank you。.
Did you go to the hospital already?
They said the due date is next year, June 20th.
You heard about our Ra Ra, right?
Yes。
I think Samsim Grandma* was jealous. [ *Korean folktale stork]
Is it good?
We should eat lunch too.
I don't really feel up to it.
But you need to think about what you want to eat, for the baby's sake.
Yes。.
In what hour was Father born?
Why?!
Since his zodiac is a horse. Horses are best, if they are born during the day.
Excuse me. What should I do about the makgeolli?
We need to buy it, of course.
I don't think you can get it by the keg.
Just buy a few bottles.
Yes。.
Skirt meat. Three servings.
Ten servings.
Ten servings?
Yep。.
The skirt meat doesn't come in ten servings.
Then give me sirloin or something.
Yes。.
Will there be more guests coming?
No。.
Can you eat all that, Mr. Chairman?
Yep.
Supervisor Kim, you are born with fortune of parents and fortune of finance.
But you're just lacking fortune of woman.
I am?
Yep.
You just give your affection to the animal companions.
You live life without any hobbies.
Mother。。。.
There could be salmonella bacteria in the egg shells.
Yes?
You should wash your hands before you touch the cooking utensils.
If I wash my hands, then it'll be too late.
This is what I do. I put on sanitation gloves to handle the eggs.
Each and everytime? Isn't that a waste of gloves?
I get two ready, and I mark the palm of one.
Or you can cut a mark with scissors and put it in the plastic bag for use when you need it.
Then you won't have to wash your hands each time.
Aren't you such a frugal homemaker.
And also, the yolk should be completely cooked.
They say the bacteria can exist inside the egg too.
Our son-in-law Kyle sure knows everything.
Will you be okay, Sir?
Order some cold noodles. Double portion for me.
Hello。.
The one who called?
Yes.
Sit down。.
The mystic is inside.
Yes。
I see that you're not a body of a single soul.
Yes。.
You will have a smooth delivery.
Yes。.
Did you bring the photo?
The spirit is surely in him.
He is one with a grand fortune of finance, isn't he?
Yes。.
A very high-level ghost, ghost among all ghosts, entered him.
What do I do?!
From what I searched, there are ghosts that stay forever.
What is the name?
Me?
No。.
Surname is 'Ah'... and 'Soo' as in wash, 'Ra' as in trumpet.
Ah Soo Ra?
The name itself is a already fated to be possessed.
And 'Ah Soo Ra' is a Buddhist battling demon.
But the characters are not the same in Korean.
Even though the meanings are different... when you think of "Ahsoora"...
You think of Baron Ashura who is half woman and half man, or the Buddhist spirit.
When you name a person, those things should be considered.
Just because the characters mean good, it doesn't mean any name is good too.
Please... help me find a solution.
My power is not enough.
But I will discuss with Spirit Mother.
Leave the photo here. Did you write the hour down?
What to do?!
<...... -empty...... ->
Dear Husband.
Hello?!
What are you doing?
You don't feel well?
No. Will you be late?
No, I'll be home early.
What's wrong? Your voice doesn't sound well.
No, just... I'm worried about Father.
See me for a moment.
Yes.
I'll come home early.
What have you been doing?
Just playing and playing. Time sure goes by fast when you just play.
You've been updated about Buyonggak news, right?
How do you feel?
If I were to say not so great, then you'd say I was a fake.
But it's a bit so-so to be honest and say you feel great?
If you were me, what would you do?
About what?
Buyonggak。
I have no desire to operate it again. My heart's settled.
Really?
Yep。.
You're saying you don't care if I close the doors.
Would I carry Buyonggak on my back when I die?
You think I can't die in peace because of Buyonggak?
You must have me...
plead for you to come back, with my hands up in surrender?
Socrates said to know thyself.
But I've realized, that knowing thyself is not easy.
I thought I could pull it forward for the long haul.
Come back and run it.
You are the only woman for the job.
You pay for this meal. I'll treat the second round.
Thank you。.

What's this?
Makgeolli needs to be enjoyed in a bowl for it to taste right.
Yes。.
Has everything been well for you, Wife?
Fine, of course.
Earlier...
I saw a rebroadcast on cable TV briefly.
It was so amusing.
What is?
Please eat dinner first. You must be hungry.
I'm back.
Okay.
Tell the ahjummas to set the table. Come and sit.
You shouldn't move around so much.
Yes.
Did you wash your hands?
Yup. As I was coming in.
So hungry.
You drink a bowl too.
Yes.
It's not bad.
You drank all that in one shot?
Bring me another bowl.
Yes.
Father, your drinking has increased.
What was the story you wanted to tell me?
You need to pick up your spoon, so the kids can eat.
Mr. Lee Deok Hwa was filming a drama before.
It was a scene where he fell into stream water that was waist-high.
That mister wears a toupee, right?
He thought since it was for a brief time, it would be okay.
But the moment he fell into the water, his head felt cool,
and he saw a black thing flowing away.
His toupee.
The actors who were by him were about to laugh.
But he went and fished for the toupee like lightning.
To put it back on.
They were about to laugh at him.
But he already got his toupee back on.
So they couldn't laugh at him.
And it was just so awkward.
It is funny!
I think our prediction is correct.
Or else why would President Jang, with her temperament...
ask to meet?
That would be so great.
It's thanks to you all chimming in.
Yerang Unnie is really unexpected.
It'll be awkward once President Jang surrenders, and Mother goes back in.
Mother.
Hello.
It's me. Contact the employees and girls who are scattered.
I'm going to Buyonggak tomorrow.
Yes.
Let's wrestle.
Wrestle?
Yep!
What wrestling? So you can get indigestion?
I'll go change first.
Father is definitely strange, right?
I'm not sure.
Come down quickly!
Yes.
Let's talk later.
But you drank so much makgeolli. Are you okay?
Yeah.
You might get hurt.
Do not nag.
We don't need to lay a blanket down first?
Who is to be the judge?
You, Mother.
Get ready,
S-t-a-r-t!
Are you alright!?
Father, how are you so strong all of a sudden?
One more time.
Dear!
I feel uneasy, Father.
Then, chicken fight.
Is your back okay?
Yes.
Here. S-t-a-r-t!
Da Mo!
Stop, please!
Was there something you want to say to us?
After we sleep tonight, it'll be November.
I think it's best we don't expect to find the child.
She needs to come find us, as was said.
The mister named Master Jeong said we'd meet within the year-end, didn't he?
But we haven't heard anything still.
Even after the newspaper ads and all. What news can we get in the next two months?
As the last resort...
We need to reveal everything and put an ad.
If on some chance, she and her current parents have the same bloodtype.
And she's doing well, thinking they are her reals.
And we go and look for her, just for our sake.
Throwing the child into confusion.
That would not be something to benefit the child.
If she's living well and happy.
Since it's fated... we just need to accept it.
You are at fault for not making it clear in the beginning.
And not knowing she was our bloodline,
we are at fault for casting her away too.
As I think about it,
I just don't think there is room for her to be found.
How will I live on?
Parents who lose their children go on to live too.
Just think of it as that.
Don't just drag your age out looking for a child that cannot be found.
Instead, think of having another one now.
Conception dreams are always accurate.
Seeing how your dream was so sturdy.
I'm sure she grew up well.
And she must be living well.
Dr. Geum's wife,
I told her someone my mom knows may be possessed.
And I asked her to introduce, to me, someone who might be an expert in that area.
So I went there earlier.
I'll just cut to the chase.
As soon as she saw Father's photo,
she said a ghost entered him for sure.
Are you sure it's not a fraud?
The mystic entered her not long ago.
She was a high school teacher before.
Her case is like Father's.
Then, how?
I asked her if there was a way to chase it out.
She said since the ghost that entered him is a very high-level ghost,
she needs to discuss with her Mother.
She said her skills aren't enough.
Really?
How did Father... and he's not anyone either.
She said Father's name was already trouble to start.
She mentioned the demon Ashura of India.
And even though the meanings are different, you can't ignore things like that.
I've thought over everything.
We need to either just live with the ghost in him,
or we need to find an exocist to transfer it.
How do I tell this to Father?
And Mother would surely flip.
And... would they accept it?
Today too. He drank all ten bottles of makgeolli.
Yet he is still sober afterwards.
The arm wrestling, then the wrestling.
He's never never been like that before.
These last few days, he's the aura of a different person.
His strength is strangely so strong.
That's why...
How did something like this happen?
You just don't worry about it for now.
It's not good for the baby. I'll resolve this.
Either we live with it or chase it out.
Looks like they went out.
Talk to her tomorrow then.
Go ahead and go.
I'm going to meet that mister no matter what.
Meet him and?
Argue it out or something. I can't go on like this.
I can't give up.
If it gets late, Director Lee will drive me home.
Don't worry. Go.
Call her and see if she'll be coming back soon.
Something must be wrong.
Did you drink alcohol?
Three glasses of wine.
I'll go wash up.
Did you have a fight with Director Geum?
No.
Have you not heard from Master Jeong lately, Unnie?
Once last week.
I must meet that mister.
If you know his phone number, please give it to me.
He said he would come up this week.
And he said he would call Director Lee when he did.
Since mine's (cell phone) off.
Why?
So I can argue it out with him.
If he's wrong, then be wrong from the start.
About what?
He said I was pierced by maternal love.
That is true, you see.
But...
I am unable to meet my child.
A child?
You have a child?
Yes.
