New Tales of Gisaeng
Episode 12
The tab's been settled.
Give me your card.
It's already gone through.
Why do you do a thing I didn't ask you to do?
I'm always getting my meal paid for. What's wrong with me paying for yours once in a while?
I have money left from my part-time jobs.
Did I say you didn't?
{##### shifted .60 forward from here}.
Try and enjoy a meal someone treats you once.
If you had told me sooner that you were going to buy, I would've enjoyed it even more.
If you ever do that again, I'll get mad.
I got it.
I ate it well (thank you).
Our employee took these pictures today,
and the two of them look completely look like they're dating.
You needn't worry.
They even went to the swimming pool together.
And were so tender with each other.
Today?
Yes.
If you compare it to last time...
Your daughter played hard to get for some time.
Acting like he won't win her over.
But now she's accepted his heart.
This thing is a bigger fox than she looks.
It seems it's only a matter of time before their marriage is to be announced.
You sure did remarry well.
How nice it would be if that were to come true.
Cheers!
So good.
What's wrong?
Are you tired?
Why are you drunk so soon?
Are you sleeping?
Did you lose to me?
You did!
Honey, he's taking a picture. Smile.
What's wrong?
Open your eyes.
Dad, you didn't go out to meet her?
Yup.
She says she's going to have dinner with the kitchen women tonight.
Are you going out somewhere?
No.
Then what's with the hat?
Just because. Everyone says it looks nice on me.
Don't you feel stuffy?
Nope.
Where's Sohn Ja?
He's not home yet.
You bought chicken?
Yup, and icecake pops.
Unnie hasn't come home yet?
She's in the bathroom.
Sohn Ja.
What flavor do you want?
Coffee or melon?
Melon.
Dad, you don't like cold stuff, right?
Honey, you should eat a chicken drumstick.
I prefer the wings over the drumsticks.
Oh gee.
Wings have more collagen. I shouldn't get old.
Men don't age so easily,
so don't worry.
Sohn Ja.
Go and get some forks and radish pickles.
You go get it.
Sit down.
Stuff like that is a woman's job.
Hurry and come eat with us.
Why are your eyes so sunken?
I went swimming.
With whom? By yourself?
With friends.
You like friends, do you?
Ahjussi.
I don't like soda.
You drink it.
Nuna, a cup.
It's yummy and not too sweet.
It's really expensive.
Each one of these costs $1.25.
That expensive?
No wonder it's so good.
Eat to your heart's content. I'll buy more tomorrow.
Here.
The madam first.
No, you eat, dear.
I ate well at the restaurant.
But still.
Fried chicken has such a nice chewy taste.
Doesn't it make you want to have a drink?
Why.. of course.
Then only one drink.
No, one drink will become two drinks.
Any side dishes you want to eat?
Nothing.
And our Ja?
Me neither.
You like spicy fried dried shrimp.
Right,
I think I did hear that before.
I'll make it for you.
You'll get a tummyache. Eat slowly.
Are you going out tomorrow?
No.
Then can we practice again?
Yes.
Throwing the ball?
Yes.
Why do you do that?
What if you get hurt?
I won't get hurt.
Gong Joo, did you get possessed by a pig?
Why don't you try and eat modestly like your sister?
Cuz it's yummy.
Look at your sister and learn some. From one to ten.
What about me?
She seems to live life without any thought at all,
except for discovering food.
And why are you wearing that hat around?
Cuz I want to.
Nuna looks cute.
There's no advantage to looking cute.
Then what would be advantageous?
At her age,
she should look elegant or sexy.
I'm going to puke.
If I'm to sit across a family of that caliber to discuss marriage,
I need to upgrade my looks, too.
Shave down the cheekbone.
Remove the wrinkles with surgery.
And do something about the mouth to shrink it.
Would about ten thousand dollars do?
Are you looking into daughter-in-law prospects?
Yes.
If you are, then why aren't there any results?
Even if one looks alright to my eyes,
would Da Mo be so easily pleased?
Da Mo that rascal has his eyes glued to his forehead.
The way I see it, Ra Ra is just perfect.
Should I do acupressure for you?
I'm fine today.
I thought you'd go to the karaoke house and be late.
Should I do some plastic surgery too, honey?
Plastic surgery?
Why would you, dear? You have no faults.
We need to marry Sa Ran and Gong Joo off, one by one.
And there's the saying that daughters are married according to their mother's looks.
To be honest, I'm not exactly a beauty.
You look so gentle and amiable. A beauty for sure.
That's because you love me and see me as pretty.
Why would you want to endure that kind of pain?
If it was me, I wouldn't do it even if they paid me.
I have to be somewhat matching to Sa Ran.
Since Sa Ran is pretty,
they'd think her mother is pretty too. What if they see me and is disappointed.
Is Sa Ran dating someone?
No, but you never know about a person's affairs.
The fate of love is said to show up suddenly one day.
In our circumstances, what marriage though?
We need to save up some money for a few years first.
These days, there's Hon-Tech (marriage technology).
Not financial, but marital technology.
Using marriage to fix one's pillars (fate).
Just look at Sa Ran's looks.
She looks like someone that a rich family desires.
Wait.
Did you charge it, the cellphone?
No.
She might see the newspaper ad and call right away.
Where's your phone?
I don't know. Look for it.
When did you last use it?
Earlier, before noon, maybe.
Check my bag.
Oh gee.
It's not there.
Aigo, did I leave it outside.
Just call it and we'll know.
Oh gee.
Hurry and hang up.
If I hang up, how am I going to find it?
Are you looking for something, Father?
Your mother-in-law's cellphone.
Why her cellphone?
I want to charge the battery.
Oh, it's here.
Sorry.
No.
This kimchee...
I prefer it when it's all the way tender.
But what's this. It's still so hard.
I didn't have ample time in the morning.
Why didn't you get up at four to make it then?
How long do you have to stew it to have it soft?
About an hour.
There's no way to make it soft in a short time?
Of course not.
If you order it at the restaurant,
they bring it out to you in ten minutes time, all tender already.
That's because they cook it in advance first.
I'll have it properly stewed for dinner,
so come home early.
I have an engagement.
It's not good for you to drink alcohol days in a row.
Bring some water. It's salty.
It's salty?
You're not the one who seasoned it, did you?
I'm the one who does the cooking though.
Bring some water here. From the range.
Yes.
Now that you're aged, you can't even season right.
Here Damo.
Eat slowly and drink water.
Are you making any plans while you're playing around?
Playing hard is my plan.
Then get yourself married.
Bring a bride prospect that can please everyone.
Or meet a Miss your mom picks out for you.
If possible, don't let it go past June.
My friends who are married all regret it.
They tell me not to marry so soon, no matter what.
Then when do you plan to marry, exactly?
It's hard to know.
If you marry late, you'll have children late.
Are you wanting to see a grandchild?
Did anyone tell you to marry for my sake?
If it's not it, then it's fine.
Grandma is up.
Okay.
What do you think?
It looks fine.
Mother, please make sure you answer the calls.
Don't worry.
She ought to see the newspaper.
I put it in all three major dailies.
Come and have the meal.
Okay.
Grandpa.
If you find that woman, what are you going to do for her?
Money, of course.
How much?
For a youngster, you should just worry about yourself.
How great was she, that you're looking for a maid now?
The hospital people will gossip all over about it.
How would they know it's us?
Our address is on it, why wouldn't they know?
Honey.
Yeah?
Listen.
Looking for someone.
Someone who worked from January of 1987 for about six months,
at 228-4 Cheongdam in Kangnam-Gu.
At a single residence house of a hospital director and family, doing houseworks.
Working the before and after-work shift.
We are looking for that woman who worked here.
You worked so diligently for us,
and we want to express our belated gratitude to you.
When you see this, please call us at the following number, we hope.
It's our family house.
There.
Why are they looking for the house maid from the past?
I wonder too.
When I meet with sister-in-law.
I'm sure she'll say something about it.
Year '87 is the year I gave birth to Ra Ra.
Oh, right!
And hyung was already married.
Hello?
It's me.
Yes.
Did you see the newspaper?
Yes.
No calls yet, right?
I will let you know as soon as we get the call.
Yes.
I am really sorry,
and I am ashamed to face you.
We just have to hope that they will contact us.
Are you going out?
Yup, the neighbor ahjussi is moving.
Don't carry any heavy load.
Goodbye.
Okay.
From what I overheard your phone call last time,
it sounds like you have a friend who's the daughter of a plastic surgeon?
Not the daughter, but the niece.
Which plastic surgery center?
If you introduce, will they make it a little cheaper?
It's in Cheongdam-dong.
You want to introduce someone?
No.
For me.
Compared to you and Gong Joo,
my face is lacking.
Everyone says you girls don't look like me, and that stresses me out.
You mean you want to get it fixed?
Yeah. Nip the eyes a little.
Shave the cheekbone a little,
and raise the nose a little.
Then, I think I might look okay.
What does dad say about it?
He's worried it might hurt a lot.
Mom, are you out of your mind?
It's because of you guys!
Why is it because of us?
These days we live in a world that's all about looks.
If we upgrade a little now.
When you girls get married in the future, your in-laws won't look down at us.
Are you the one who'd be getting married?
When you get married, they look at the parents' looks too you know.
If you got the money for that, give it to me,
so I can get a hormone shot.
What hormone shot?
Are you in menopause?
Hormone shot for growing height.
Ddang!
You're done with.
Why did I have to take after you?
Nuna...
Oh. Now?
Don't you meddle.
Unnie will speak ill of it.
If you don't know, then just stay quiet.
What don't I know?
A person needs to know their place.
I know my place, and that's why I want to get plastic surgery.
I know all the good and bad about my face.
You're used to pitching with three fingers now, right?
Yeah.
Now I'll try throwing it from a little further.
The proper way. I'll go sit over there, so try throwing it.
If you go too far, I lose my confidence though.
It's okay, just throw it comfortably.
The person catching it just needs to catch well.
You have to keep doing it to get the feel of it.
Now, you just need to throw it into here.
It's easy, right?
It's so far, I can't even see it well.
Then don't think about the glove.
Just think about throwing it to me and throw it.
It's okay.
It's because it's your first time and you don't quite know your strength yet.
Yeah, it is our house.
My grandfather.
Does your grandfather, by chance, like that housekeeper?
If he liked her, would he not remember her name and age like this?
It isn't that at all.
I think it's just nostalgia about the past.
People do that when they get old.
What if we don't get word from her?
I'm starting to feel anxious.
Most women don't read the paper before noon.
They sit back with their coffees and read it at night.
You'll even see our daughter-in-law doing that.
Then that would be a relief.
Aigoo!
When you throw,
don't put so much strength in your shoulder.
Just use your arm's strength and try throwing it softly.
Whoa.
Nice pitching.
Didn't someone call yet?
No.
We'll have to wait today, I suppose.
Oh, there's a call. I'm hanging up.
Yes.
Hello.
I...saw the paper and,
Yes, yes.
Are you the director's wife?
Yes.
I'm her.
Ah, hello!
It's been too long, Madam.
It has. How have you been?
This and that.
I didn't realize you would look for me.
I've been curious.
And is the child growing well?
Of course.
They've gotten married and I became a grandmother.
Both she and he have gotten married?
How many children are there?
One boy and one girl.
Then you must have had another child after that one.
I'm talking about the baby that you took from our house back then.
What baby?
The baby that was left for us.
You said you would take her and raise her.
No.
No?
Then who are you?
When were you at our house?
In my memory, it was 1987.
Back then,
how many people were there in our family?
It was you and your husband, and your son and his wife.
And your granddaughter.
I wanted to see you, too.
Mm-hmm.
You should take off your jacket.
What is the newspaper ad?
Why are you looking for an old housekeeper?
Did you see it?
Yes.
Father-in-law,
Do you have a set menu for lunch?
Yes.
Three of those, please.
Yes.
And no alcohol?
Sister, do you want to drink some sake?
I'm good.
I'll have some. One glass please.
Yes.
Father-in-law is asking to make sure and find that housekeeper.
Why?
Mother-in-law and my husband are thinking maybe not so.
Since father-in-law has a strong mental strength.
That's why.
What do you think?
I don't know from just hearing about it.
Brother is a doctor. If, something is strange, he'd sense it first.
The beginning stage tends to show minor symptoms only.
Dear, why you drop by this evening.
Okay.
Then what is going to become of our building situation?
You sure are strange.
Father's concern is first here.
Well, that...is that.
I can see why guys get sucked into baseball.
Watching it is fun, but isn't it more fun playing?
Yeah.
You look attractive when you smile.
Even though you are basically anyway.
What do you mean?
You are good-looking.
If you find that housekeeper, how much did father-in-law say he was going to give her?
That's what we put in the paper, since we don't really have a pretext.
He wants to eat that housekeeper's cooking, that's all.
That's a little strange.
If you see him and I'm right, please persuade my husband.
Yes.
Should I prepare your lunch?
I'm not hungry.
Dear, you should eat.
Me too.
A little later.
Yes.
Do we need to put it in the paper again or what?
If we don't hear anything, of course we'll have to again.
Unless she was destined a short life, she should be living somewhere.
It's good here.
It is.
Does it taste good because we exercised?
It could be.
We'll know if we come back again sometime.
Yes.
Is there anything uncomfortable for you? With so many people in the house?
I like it.
It's just that I'm self-conscious about everything.
There's no need to feel self-conscious.
Four people or five, it's all the same.
What's your type?
I'll keep my eye out for your amongst my younger alum.
She'll have to be taller than 160
I just need to be attracted to her.
Her height doesn't really matter to me.
Are you fine if she's plump?
Sister, just tell Ra Ra that you had a shotgun marriage.
What are you talking about?
It isn't believable that she was born two months early.
She wonders why there aren't any photos of her in an incubator.
Her parents got married in February and she was born in September.
She thinks you guys reversed the order of things, and made up the part about her being premature.

Ji Hwa Ja?
She was chopping the radish and ended up cutting her middle finger.
There isn't enough corn syrup.
And there is too much garlic.
If there is too much garlic,
it kills the flavor of the food.
It's what the broads who can't cook do.
Putting too much seasoning.
When will I ever get the seasoning just right?
Getting the seasoning right is all about labor of the hand.
You have to use a lot of effort...
to get the flavoring just right.
Though sometimes it becomes automatic when you do enough of it too.
And a day will come when you can close your eyes
and just roughly add things and get the seasoning right.
But still,
if you do it haphazardly and flat without heart, it will show right away.
The flavor won't be there.
That is what the fruit of hand labor is.
You have to be diligent always.
Nothing comes easy in this world.
It's important to know how to season well,
but the most important is to know how to watch the fire.
If you know how to watch fire,
you connect with enlightenment.
You needn't go to Gyerong or Jiri Mountain to cultivate englightenment.
You can cultivate that even in a tiny nostril-size kitchen like this.
You know how they say that men are like children, even when they grow old?
Do you know why that is?
Why?
It's because they never work in a kitchen.
They don't get a drop of water on their hands.
A woman who doesn't know how to work in a kitchen, no matter how old she gets,
She's still immature. It's the same case.
It does seem so.
The radish was too small that you cut your finger too?
Who is there?
I asked who's there?
It's me.
Why are you doing your business here?
I was a little urgent, you see.
You were urgent so you go here?
Mr. Kang was doing his business there.
Are there only two bathrooms?
This is for the kitchen workers.
Aigoo. Everything he does...
Why that filthy thing.
Where are you coming from?
Skin center.
If someone like me pays, will my skin get taut, too?
It does improve it a lot.
You'll look ten years younger.
How much is it?
Is it ginger or an onion?
What now?
If you poop, then you should make sure to clean up after yourself.
I did flush.
Come and take a good look.
Wash and bleach it thoroughly.
I'll flush it twice and see.
I said to clean it, don't talk back.
Yes, ma'am.
Grandmother said to clean the bathroom near the kitchen really well.
Okay.
[Madam]
Hello?
I'm going to Hong Kong.
Really?
When?
On the evening flight.
My grandaunt wants to see me.
And I plan to show some filial piety to my grandma too.
You are becoming an angel now.
Have a good trip.
Must be nice.
I'll tell my grandmother right now if you give the word.
They say heaven helps those who help themselves.
I can't let my guard down before my test.
Rehearse well, and don't pay attention elsewhere.
Then, Madam, make sure your eyes aren't distracted.
Don't go ogling all the Hong Kong maidens.
I'll bring you some Pu-erh tea back.
When are you coming back?
She wants to stay there about ten days.
Call me if you miss me.
And if I do?
I'll come right away then.
Really?
Yeah.
I'll just watch my video footage.
When did you take what?
At the stable.
Should I delete it?
It seems like it's bothering you.
No.
When is your birthday?
If you ask me like that and I tell you,
it makes me one of those girls.
You're like a man from the old era.
Did it pass yet or not?
Just tell me that.
It hasn't passed yet.
Okay, then.
What are you doing not packing?
I'll be packed in half an hour.
Hanging up.
Bye.
Isn't this a sign from heaven saying that you don't need to find her?
It was put into all the three major papers, but there is no contact from her.
Do you think
she might have died?
She might not have seen it, too.
Forget about it, Father-in-law.
The director is back.
Okay.
Now what are we going to do?
I cleaned it really well.
You did?
Yes.
Why would you clean it?
You asked for me to.
You heard from Saeng Gang, didn't you?
Yes.
That piece of jerk.
You startled me.
Come out here.
I'll be right out.
But calm down a little.
Do you have a conscience or not?
Why are you making Dan Se do your cleaning?
My constitution is a little weak, you see.
You're not weak when you're eating.
You're fine when you are pooping,
but when it comes to cleaning it, your constitution is too weak?
I was wrong.
Where do you think you're going?
Ow.
Like this. Like this.
Oh Bong! Oh Bong!
Doing such a shameless deed.
I was wrong.
Just try doing that again.
It will be the end of your relationship with Buyonggak.
Do you understand?
I see. I see.
Why are you cursing?
It's not a cursing.
It's English.
I said that I understand in English!
Yes.
Why, you used English deliberately, didn't you?
Putting some cursing in there too.
Why are you just picking on me?
What do you think you did right?
I should just rip that mouth of yours.
You can just use your words.
Manager Noh, when she sees me,
she won't have her eyes opened straight either,
Then what? She opens them sideways?
I'm so sad I'll die!
That's what I mean!
Why do something that will make you so sad.
There are bathrooms all over,
why do you have to crawl into the one that the kitchen staff uses?
And when you're done, you should clean up after yourself.
And if you get scolded and agreed to clean up,
why do you make Ma Dan Se do your work?
Ow, ow, ow!
Grandma!
That thing is the one that ages backwards.
Take good care of your grandmother.
Okay.
No need to come out.
Dad, what did you have for lunch?
Oh, beef intestine soup.
Do we not need to go grocery shopping?
We still have fish and things.
Did they move to a bigger place or a smaller place?
He says he's going to have the son-in-law move in too, so to a 45 pyong (approx. 1,600 sq. Ft) place.
Here, look at the paper.
Later.
Dad, stepmother wants to do plastic surgery.
She's just saying it.
I doubt it.
Please stop her.
It isn't like we can afford it either.
It's not for vanity, like you think.
It's for your sake.
With your friends, and future marriage.
She doesn't want to take away from your image.
Tell her not to worry about things like that.
Oh my goodness!
Hello!
Oh, Ra Ra.
Did you come here to get treated?
To get a flu shot.
I just got mine.
Did it hurt?
It stings just a little.
Are you going home now?
Yes.
Do you want to wait a little
and have dinner with me?
Why the flowers?
I just bought them.
What compelled you, dear?
Mother isn't here either,
and I thought the house would feel empty.
Thank you!
A kiss on the cheek would be good, wouldn't it?
If you're going to do it,
do it properly.
How so?
Haven't you seen any movies?
Are you sleepy, madam?
No,
I think something just got in my eye while I was chopping.
Mr. Kim.
The chairman had something come up,
so he'll be eating dinner out, Madam.
I see.
A glass of wine is okay, isn't it?
Yes.
I'm glad to see you, but how about you?
Me, too.
Is it okay?
I like wine with some weight like this one.
You must know of many good places to eat.
I relieve my stress by eating.
It's good for your health to.
Go ahead.
Yes.
So our Da Mo...
doesn't meet your expectations I hear.
What are the points you dislike about him?
Please tell me honestly.
It's okay.
Does he act arrogant?
I can't tell you truthfully.
Why?
I was asked to, you see.
Asked what?
It isn't anyone else, I'm his father.
I should know the truth.
He asked me to say that I didn't like him and rejected him.
Da Mo did?
Yes.
Why?
I don't know.
He isn't seeing anyone else.
I didn't meet his expectations or.
Or what?
It's nothing.
I was just thinking of this and that and what it could be.
And your parents know it to be like this?
Yes.
You must have lost any affection for my son.
It wasn't a good feeling.
Let me apologize for him.
He probably doesn't feel confident enough for you.
Men can be in that mentality.
If he really isn't seeing anyone else,
I'm sure that he isn't.
What?
Go ahead and say it.
Instead of women,
is he interested in men?
It wouldn't be, would it?
It wouldn't be.
I was just thinking.
It was just that he asked me to do that without any reason.
Aren't people of such...
more on the feminine side?
Half and half.
Some are more feminine, and there are those that are more...
the opposite.
Please forget that you heard this.
Assistant Kim.
Yes.
Is homosexuality among men common these days?
I heard that there is more than you think.
And you can't tell by looking?
There are those that are obvious.
And they say the ones who don't make it obvious is more common.
Secretively?
Yes.
I feel like a load has been lifted.
So take that, Ah Da Mo.
Any nice junior alums in your department?
Someone to introduce to Sohn Ja.
There isn't.
Sohn Ja needs a girlfriend.
If he makes a mistake, he can lose everything he has.
Someone decent.
Who is good.
That was quick.
Because his legs are long.
What is this?
Are your parents home?
Why my parents?
They're not here.
Go.
Hello!
I'm So Yeon Geol.
May I come in?
You're Gong Ju's older sister, aren't you?
Are you in your right mind?
No.
You made me like this.
What did I make?
Ah!
Miss older sister.
I...
would like to marry Gong Ju, you see.
Oh,
and engaged would be fine, too.
My parents have given their approval.
Were you dating?
No.
It's one-sided love.
A woman touching my body.
You were the first.
Watch what you say.
I measured you to make clothes. What do you mean touching?
Anyway.
Married.
I already am.
I'm a married woman.
Punk!
If you're a married woman,
I'm a divorcee.
Did you register your marriage then?
And your husband then?
We're betrothed and live together.
We're going to have the ceremony during summer vacation.
She's like this and it makes me crazy.
She makes me crazy in love for her.
You're a pervert, the way I see it.
Everyone gets this way when they fall in love.
Hey, Gong Ju,
Dan Gong Ju!
If you marry me, I'll treat you like a queen.
You'll get caught by my husband. Hurry up and go!
Show me his face then.
First, take a look at our room then.
Unnie,
Tell brother-in-law Sohn to hurry and come home.
Okay.
This is my sewing machine.
My desk.
My groom's clothes.
Underwear, socks.
Books.
Baseball bat.
But,
why is there only one pillow then?
We only need one.
Because I use his arm as a pillow.
So you know what I'm saying right?
Yes.
Hurry up and come home.
Okay, I'm on the first floor now.
Brother-in-law Sohn is coming up now.
Since when did you setup house like this?
It hasn't been long.
Does this mean his parents have approved?
To be precise, he has no parents.
Is this true?
Yeah.
Honey,
don't get the wrong idea.
Who are you?
I...I...
She's my wife, what is it?
Indeed.
That seems to be the case.
If you get it, then go!
Before I sue you for harrassing a married woman.
Hey, Gong Ju!
Hey, Gong Ju?
Miss Gong Ju.
Then,
live happily.
I didn't know.
Gosh!
He's gone.
What happened?
He modeled for a fashion event, so we met.
And he's followed me around since then.
Is he a little off?
I don't think he's normal.
He's a student, isn't he?
Yeah.
Business major at Shinchon U.
You're so quick-minded.
But what if rumors spread that we're living together?
I don't care.
The truth will come out later anyway.
Is it a good thing that I moved in then?
Yeah.
If it weren't for you,
he would have insisted that I meet my parents.
Then my mom would have given in.
Why?
He's well-off.
And an only son.
Then you should have tried dating him.
Why attraction does that grape have?
Just the sight of him annoys me.
Did I do well?
Yeah.
You didn't even say "oppa", it was "honey!"
Seriously.
But it's so nuna-like.
Or you should have just said, "dear".
But look how he acknowledged me at once.
Maybe I look mature.
Not mature. Old.
I'll be your escort starting tomorrow.
Daddy's tired.
Honey, is there something unsettling?
When did mother leave?
She left the house about 3:00.
Because Da Mo went, I didn't go to the airport.
In your opinion,
how is Da Mo?
In what way?
Never mind.
Sa Ran,
It's a secret from mom.
About Yeon Geol.
Mm-hmm.
How is father?
In my opinion, he seems fine.
And Ra Ra?
She wasn't in.
Where does she go wandering about?

Dear God,
If our Da Mo,
would just have a regular marriage with a woman,
even if she comes from a poor home,
even if she isn't well-educated or she is lacking in looks,
I'll grant my blessing no matter what.
Please!
Please make what I am worried about and imagining not to be the case.
Please make our son have a normal family with a regular woman.
This rascal,
Why would he have a woman's hairclip?
Hello?
This is Han Soon Deok.
Yes.
Please see me today.
Since you probably can't meet during the day, tonight.
I'm fine.
Isn't this during the time you are busy?
I'm taking a break from work for the time being.
I see.
Should we meet at the same place as before at 7:00?
Yes.
Did you guys have fun today?
Yes!
Ok. Good. That's enough for today's lesson.
Don't forget your homework, and I'll see you guys next week.
Thank you, Kyle!
You're welcome. Thanks guys!
Have a nice weekend.
Yeah, you too.
Kyle!
Grandmother would like to see you briefly.
Me?
Yes.
Why?
I don't know.
Hey, Kyle.
Stand your ground.
She's not the average scary woman.
Even when a customer is mannerless,
he gets grabbed by the throat by the grandma.
Really?
Yeah.
I haven't done anything wrong though.
In her eyes, everything is unsatisfactory.
She is out of the ordinary.
If she doesn't get on someone's case for just one day,
she's the type to get indigestion.
By chance,
did you make a pass at one of the girls?
Never.
This room.
Yes?
Come on in.
How do you say, sit down please, in English?
It's, sit down please.
Oh, sit, down, please.
Now,
Please try this.
This is corbicula broth.
Most nourishing tonic for men.
Corbicula clams are strong in yin energy.
Please hurry and eat before it gets cold.
Yes, ma'am.
I wonder if the corbicula are done well.
You need to taste the first sip of Korean soups in the bowl.
My goodness, that is right!
You know how to eat it properly.
Oh, that's refreshing.
It's really "good"!
Are you saying that you like it?
Yes.
It isn't salty, is it?
It's deliciously wonderful!
Do our girls understand what you are teaching them?
Because they're smart girls,
if I teach them one thing, they learn three or four.
Is that so?
They should do their best at everything like that.
You eat it so well.
Because it tastes good.
I should have ordered a bowl of rice for you, too.
Her affection is just spilling out of her.
What are you doing?
What are you going to do about the advertisement?
I'm planning to try a few more times.
Please keep putting it out until we find the child.
Okay.
Have you heard of the name Jeong Jae Won?
No.
He's a guru whose age is over 80.
Nearly everyone in politics knows of him.
He predicted who would be president.
He's never been wrong.
He's very enlightened.
He happened to come by Buyonggak last time.
He knows Representative well.
He just happened to see me and he told the Representative...
That maternal love pierces through me,
but that I would see a good happening soon.
That you would?
Yes.
Not a single person knows that I had a baby, you see.
But he saw me once and predicted that.
He must truly be able to see things.
She had asked me about it when she told me that story,
and I passed it off as impossible.
But seeing things turn out this way,
Those words came to mind.
So,
please don't give up finding her.
I understand.
Don't worry.
I'll keep looking for her until the end.
If I knew where he lived,
I would run to him and ask more questions.
Representative Oh would know.
She doesn't even know.
Then how does she get in touch with him?
He stops every few years
when he is in Seoul for other matters.
We have no way to get in touch with him.
Except that he's been living in Gyerong Mountain for decades.
I'll try finding out.
But hearing these words,
it gives me some hope.
You probably feel the same, too,
but I can't even eat these days.
I'm going to eat from now on, even if I have to force myself to.
Good.
Take this after every meal,
it provides good nutrition.
Do you still suffer severe menstrual cramps?
It went away after I had the baby.
It's mallow porridge.
Thanks.
Please go ahead and eat.
Aren't you eating?
Dad, aren't you going, to pick up mom?
Yeah, later.
She's meeting her old friends today.
If we can't find her,
I even thought about this,
What if our son and Han Soon Deok were to have another one.
It's a number I don't know.
Hurry up and answer it.
Hello?
I was calling about the ad in yesterday's paper.
Yes.
My wife worked at your house back during that time.
Is that so?
Yes.
But my wife died a few years ago.
Oh my!
Could I meet you in her behalf?
Yes, then.
Would you bring her old photo, too, then?
An old photo,
You don't have one?
I burned most of them,
but I'll take a look.
How many children do you have?
I only have three sons,
and my oldest is going into the army.
You don't have any daughters?
No.
But there was a child she took from our home back then.
Hello?
He hung up?
He's a fraud.
What was I just saying a little while ago?
Another child by son and Han Soon Deok.
Yeah, don't you think that could work?
How could that be?
It would be good for us,
but what would that make of Han Soon Deok?
And that would be wrong to daughter-in-law.
I was just thinking about it because its so frustrating.
Han Soon Deok is at most 47.
And not her first.
She could have many more.
That is true.
And it could also end up being a boy.
The more I keep thinking about it, the greedier I get.
A person's mind is like this.
I'll get off up there.
Just go to the front.
If another employee sees, there will be talk.
Is there anything I can do for you?
Just keep placing the ad to find her.
That's a given.
Please pray in your heart.
I am doing that.
I'd like to get a driver and a car for you, a female driver.
It's better if I keep walking.
Thank you for dinner.
Call me anytime.
If it gets too hard.
It's better than staying in a daze.
Bye.
Yes?
Mr. Seo to Room Nine. Chairman Kim Myung Joon's request.
Yes.
Saeng Gang.
What?
Kim Myung Joon is here for you.
No wonder I had a good feeling about today.
You look great, so hurry up and go.
Mister, you'll probably get a great tip today.
I'll treat you to ramen later.
That woman became his stepmother!
That's one messy situation.
Hello, chairman.
Mr. Seo.
Have you changed your repertoire these days?
Yes, I shall show you.
What, pop songs?
Would you prefer folk music?
No, no, just go ahead.
Just you wait.
Did she really say that?
Yes.
You're saying that he is never wrong, aren't you?
I guess he rarely is.
I hope he's really right about it.
A lot of ahjummas don't read the paper everyday
so we should keep...
It's director of Hwayeon.
Hello?
Those things are not meaningless.
I'll get word to Dr. Kim.
Yes.
What are you talking about every day like that, leaving me out?
They just want to have a conversation with their son.
He was also curious about hospital matters, too.
You could talk about that out in the living room.
That's father's choice.
Why are you coming out alone?
Because I'm the only married woman with a family.
They're going to play all night.
What about drinks?
I didn't have any of course.
What a good girl.
If you drink, this will take longer to heal.
I need to wash my hair today though.
I'll wash it for you.
Did you have fun?
Are they all divorcees?
Widows?
Some just single.
There's widows, and old spinsters too.
All the broads these days just like to play,
except for my Hwa Ja.
Hey, honey,
Try speaking more genteel now.
Speech is all habit, isn't it?
It's time to send off the kids.
The parents need to look cultivated.
You know, Sa Ran,
Sa Ran, she may not marry,
but if she were to marry, she doesn't seem like she would marry just anyone.
If she meets with in-laws that are well-to-do,
we should act sophisticated,
even if we aren't rich.
You are right about that.
Sa Ran,
Should I sell my house?
Why?
Was it good?
It was so good.
It was electrifying.
Father,
should I choose qualifications or love?
Sa Ran.
Ra Ra's friend Sa Ran.
What about Sa Ran?
The child the ahjumma took.
That could be Sa Ran.
