(Episode 35)
What do people look for most when there are unforeseeable circumstances or feel...
nervous about their future? A fortune-teller.
Fortune-tellers flourish, especially at the beginning of the year.
As the times change, it doesn't matter if it's the beginning of the year.
Fortune-tellers close to university towns are flourishing.
I don't understand why people go to fortune tellers or believe in superstitions.
Many foturne-tellers set up temporary workplaces in university cities or cafes.
The more you're in a hurry, the slower you should go.
That's why I'm going slowly even though I'm late.
Sometimes, this is right on the money.
Did you see that?
Unexpected luck!
- Amazing, she's that good? - Yeah.
Do you remember my friend, Seung-ah?
My friend was secretly paying down her parent's debt without her in-laws knowing.
But as soon as she saw her...
she said, "Stop it!"
"It's no use helping your parents."
That's what she said!
That's scary!
Yeah, she might be good but she's too direct.
Isn't that all coincidence?
That's not all.
One of my other friend's husband was going to quit his job and open a karaoke room...
but before they could say a word, she said, "Singing should be kept a hobby."
- Amazing! - Goosebumps! - I know!
What are you doing, mom? Aren't you fascinated?
Yeah.
Yeah, it's fascinating.
What's going on? You didn't even hear us.
- What are you thinking about, mom? - Nothing much.
I'm just a bit tired.
Hey, An-ah...
tell me what her number is, so I can ask when I'm getting married.
I have it. Hold on, I'll send it to you.
Me too. If I ever need anything, I can ask her.
That's all superstition. There aren't any ghosts in this world.
What? Mr. Choi isn't here yet?
No, he called in saying he needed the morning to take care of personal business.
Really?
That's why it said for me to go even slower when I want to go faster.
Excuse me?
Nothing.
Is Kwi-nam leaving today?
Yes, he's probably already at the airport...
waiting for his plane to America.
I thought you guys were fighting. Do you miss him, now that he's gone?
It's not like that.
- What are you doing, Tae-hee? - Excuse me?
What's that? Is that a card game?
It's not a card game.
They're tarot cards.
Tarot cards? What's that?
If you have worries or want to know how your day will be, it tells you with cards.
- That's non-sense. Don't believe in those superstitions. - Okay.
Now all I have to do, is meet a nobleman.
My goodness!
Ms. Cho!
You weren't waiting for me, were you?
Who, me?
You're really funny!
I'm only out here so I can get some fresh air.
Are you upset with me?
I'm just coming back from exercising.
I didn't ask.
If I'm bored, I'll just go hang out with Mr. Oh.
Geez! Are you really going to be like that?
Wait...
What's that smell?
What? Wh... what smell?
My goodness!
Maybe it's the smell of my sweat.
It smells like anti-inflammatory ointment.
Did you hurt yourself?
What do you mean, I hurt myself? My muscles were sore from exercising.
Wow! I didn't realize it before, but you have a great sense of smell.
What is this on your shirt? Why do you have this on your shirt, like a klutz?
Wait. So you haven't answered my phone calls because you're exercising everyday?
Did you stop by my house? And, everyday?
I didn't say that! I'm just saying, that's all.
I'm sorry.
I'll make sure I answer my phone from now on.
Hello.
- Good afternoon, Mr. Choi. - Yes.
I like seeing you guys in the afternoon. Anything new?
- No, nothing. - I'll be back after I meet Mr. Suh.
- I'm sure it's nothing. - What is?
To be honest...
I heard something this morning.
It was so absurd.
What did you say?
That's non-sense.
We just got over voluntary resignations. It hasn't been long since then.
That was the problem.
Since no one resigned, they're laying off people.
What do you mean? We just started a new growth project.
That's the reason Kwi-nam is on this business trip.
That's why I didn't believe it either...
but you saw Mr. Choi getting called to Mr. Suh's room.
Doesn't something seem off?
Does this mean I can get fired too?
They say it doesn't matter what position you have.
According to the rumors, you're not safe either.
Don't be like that, Mr. Park.
It's too early for a horror special.
I hope I'm wrong too.
My kid hasn't even been born yet, but there are rumors of consolidating the two teams.
Na Ik-hee!
Hey. Kang Bo-ram.
What's with that expression?
What did I do?
- Are you just getting home? - Yeah.
You're a good kid...
for coming home right after school.
What are you talking about?
Are you okay?
Okay with what?
Your heart.
Yeah, I'm fine.
Then, that's good.
Let's go.
Isn't that the kid from next door?
Why is he petting my precious daughter's head?
No way. There were rumors last time and then it went away.
That was the time when the company...
asked, "Would you like to stop coming to work?"
This time, the company is saying, "Get out!"
- What are we going to do? - That's what I'm talking about.
I have no idea at all.
I don't know what will come next.
Honey, honey...
I know of a famous fortune-teller. Should I go ask?
Stop being so superstitious.
You say that but you always look at the daily horoscopes.
I only read that for fun.
No, no.
You may be jinxed because of Mr. Kim.
How else can you explain him always out-performing you?
That's true.
My ill-fated relationship with Mr. Kim can't be explained scientifically.
But superstition isn't going to solve this. Forget it.
My...
name is Pedro.
Stop it.
He told me not to go, but I'm so nervous, I'm thinking of going.
Ra-yeon, I really think you and I are soul mates.
Why?
How do we have the same worries?
To be honest...
my husband is also walking on thin ice too.
They might close down his branch.
I thought he was first in performance.
It's easy shutting down locations when the business market is down.
His performance isn't high these days...
and if branch managers can't get promoted to executive positions, they need to quit.
I guess it's hard for everyone.
Where is this place, Ra-yeon?
Let's go together right now.
Do you want to?
Now, let's see...
Do you see something?
I see it, I see it! I do!
The two of you...
will be bound together. Congratulations!
- What? - Excuse me?
That's what the Taoist fairy is telling me.
The two will be bound together by love.
With love?
Excuse me, I know I really like Ra-yeon but this is a bit...
That's right, that's a bit...
Why do you think that's the only way?
I could be talking about someone else who is related to you.
- If that's the case... - If that's the case...
You don't have to worry about that! Something else!
Oh my! You even know what we're thinking?
- Oops! - Hold on a second.
I see the same thing in you two.
- What is it? - Both of your husbands...
have movement in their destinies.
Right? She's a sham!
- They said she was good, but she's a sham. - See, I told you not to go.
- What a waste of money. - I should've listened to you.
She kept blabbing about how we'd be bound to them by loves.
- Bound with love? - Yeah, isn't that funny?
I didn't know what she was talking about. She kept on telling us non-sense.
Wait, honey...
- Ik-hee isn't going out with Gong Yoon, is she? - No.
She won't say anything, but that's what I figured. Why?
Does this mean she's dating our neighbor's son?
Geez!
No way Bo-ram and our Ik-hee is...
What a happy occasion! It's a happy occasion!
She's going out with a good kid like Bo-ram!
My goodness, honey! That fortune-teller is really good, isn't she?
I hope they keep going out with each other.
She's not good!
What's wrong with Bo-ram?
He's a good student and reliable...
I'd be fine with a son-in-law like Bo-ram.
Are you crazy?
- Ik-hee is only in junior high. - I'm just saying.
That's what the fortune-teller said.
I guess that means I'll get fired from my company!
No, that can't happen.
I take it back and spit it out!
I take it back.
What's wrong with everyone?
Do I have something on my face?
It's not that. To be honest...
it's because Mr. Park said something strange.
- What did I do, Mr. Na? - Just tell him.
Mr. Choi's not the type to not say anything if he heard something.
- What is it? - To tell you the truth, I heard a rumor flying around...
and you were also called into Mr. Suh's office.
I heard...
we were going to go through a layoff.
You're talking about that?
It's true our company isn't looking good...
but I didn't go to Mr. Suh's office for that.
I haven't heard anything yet, so let's not get ahead of ourselves.
Right? You see, I told you it wasn't anything.
I just thought...
Now, now. Let's get back to working hard.
- Yes. - Yes.
He said he'd answer every call...
but that didn't last two days.
Ms. Cho!
Long time no see, Mr. Oh.
Oh my, please sit down.
My goodness! What brings...
you to call me first to see me?
It's nothing much...
but do you know what...
Kim Young-hwa is doing these days?
You called me out so you could ask me that?
It was an excuse to see you as well.
Killing 2 birds with 1 stone.
Well, at this time, Kim Young-hwa is probably hard at work.
Work?
He's getting $50 a day to help hang wallpaper everyday. Didn't he tell you?
He told me...
he was exercising.
It smells like anti-inflammatory ointment.
Did you hurt yourself? What.
What is this on your shirt? Why do you have this on your shirt, like a klutz?
It's only 2 days away. Are you confident?
I'm going to die of nervousness.
Don't be nervous. Your new boyfriend, Bo-ram, is coming too.
Kang Bo-ram is coming? Why?
He was president last year.
A lot of student who graduated are coming to see it.
They're coming at about 5, so they'll see your performance.
- All the girls are going crazy. - Why?
Why else? The legendary all-around good student is coming tomorrow.
Bo-ram was beyond popular.
Everyone else but you, were crazy about him.
Was he?
Do well. I'm over Bo-ram so get your revenge on Yoon.
Kang Bo-ram hasn't talked to me since then.
And I don't want a boyfriend right now either.
But how come I can't see our teacher around these days?
I don't see him around unless it's during our class.
What are you doing here?
Did you do something wrong?
I didn't do anything wrong.
I guess you could say, I'm trying to make sure...
I don't hurt a student's feelings.
I have to stay far away since...
it's 'out of sight, out of mind'.
Why aren't you saying anything when you said you were waiting for me?
Are you mad because I couldn't answer your call?
Geez...
it's that darn gym, it's so loud in there.
I thought...
we were...
closer than friends.
Of course we're closer than friends.
Then...
how is it that your friend knows something I don't?
Wait, what are you...
Did Mr. Oh come here and tell you something?
My gosh!
I told him, I'd tell you myself.
That's right. I'm moving tomorrow.
Moving?
- Tomorrow? - What?
You didn't know that?
I only found out you were working as a wallpaper hanger.
I'm only doing that so I can get some exercise in.
Well, it just sort of happened that way.
I guess my son felt bad so he asked me to come live with him.
It was worth selling my boat to raise my son, wasn't it?
Yes, I'm so happy for you.
You must've been so happy, you didn't have time to tell me.
It just happened so suddenly.
I was so busy since we found someone who was willing to take over my lease.
I'm sure you were! Why didn't you tell me after you moved away?
Ms. Cho...
are you mad?
It'll be really quick for us to call each other and meet up.
Forget it.
Wasn't it you who kept following me around?
Now you're ignoring me since you're going to your son's.
Fine, I understand.
Good-bye. No need to see one another again since we're saying our good-byes.
Ms. Cho...
I like you, Ms. Ahn.
I like you, no matter what you do.
So, come to me...
just as you are.
I miss you.
He kept on going on and on about him being against Bo-ram and Ik-hee.
I thought it was so funny.
He's such a fool for his daughter, there's no stopping him.
Is this funny to you, Ra-yeon?
Dating should happen in college. Do you think Bo-ram has any time for that?
And plus, be in a relationship with Ik-hee, who never studies?
I can't even imagine that.
You should watch what you say.
What's wrong with Ik-hee?
Yeah, I guess you're right.
She's not into academics, but there's nothing wrong with her!
Forget it.
That fortune-teller is really strange. I should demand some answers from her.
I'm going to leave, Ra-yeon.
I don't think I can have tea-time feeling this way.
Oh my, my.
I should feel really angry right now, shouldn't I?
I'm so dumbfounded.
My gosh.
Don't be like this.
Go and tell Ms. Cho the truth.
It won't change anything if I tell her. She'll only be upset.
At any rate...
I'd better not catch you gossiping again!
Geez, you're so stubborn.
Take good care of Ms. Cho for me.
Whatever! You'd better get going, the driver is waiting for you.
- Really? - Yes, an ad for new employees came out.
I don't know what they're thinking.
They wouldn't hire new employees while firing the employees here.
That's right, maybe we need reinforcement.
This doesn't feel good.
You're saying, you came to get after-service from a fortune-teller?
When you buy merchandise, you can return it in a week...
or the warranty is valid for up to a year.
It's not like we don't know one another.
Can't you give us some specifics on what you said last time?
There has to be rewards for revealing the secrets of nature.
I'm only here to tell you what your destiny looks like.
Accepting your destiny is your responsibility.
Whether it be this or that. Just tell us anything since we're nervous.
Then, I'll tell you about your previous life for free.
- Previous life? - Previous life?
I'm sorry, but it's hard enough to live my current life.
I don't have...
Your current life's destiny could be your previous life's fault.
Then...
could you look at my colleague, Mr. Kim, who keeps getting in my way?
You used to wield a sword in your previous life!
The person you're referring was killed by your sword in your previous life.
You were the best swordsman from the three countries, during the Goryeo Dynasty.
The law of the land was your sword.
I don't know what you're talking about, but he seemed to be an amazing person.
You must be kidding yourself.
He was a very feminine and vulgar swordsman.
Excuse me?
My goodness! All these colors are just wonderful!
Crazy bastard!
What did I do that was so wrong?
Fine! Who was she her previous life?
Oh my!
She was dog poop.
She said you weren't cow poop, but dog poop!
Are you serious?
No, I'm not talking about that poop...
your name was Dog Poop.
The king's woman.
Choseon Dynasty's 3rd generation, femme fatale.
The one and only Dog Poop, who held King Kwanghae and his ancestors in her hands.
Dog Poop!
You say the same words, but so differently!
If you have the king's heart, then don't be greedy for anything else.
Something else.
Is there...
a way for me to not get fired from my company?
Honey...
do you really believe in destiny?
I'm not sure.
If your life is already set, doesn't that make life really boring?
If you know how...
your life will turn out...
why would I work so hard?
You're right. Destiny doesn't exist.
It was probably all made up.
You think so?
I checked it out. It's true.
They're consolidating the two teams, hiring a new...
recruit and taking away 2 desks from our team.
Why did Mr. Choi say he didn't know?
I don't know if he knows, or if he really doesn't know.
The managing team is already in chaos since they have to vote who will be laid off.
Isn't it ridiculous, that the team has to vote for who will get fried from their team?
Isn't this too much?
I bet this wouldn't even happen in an animal safari.
Excuse me...
- Mr. Na? - Yeah?
There's already a blacklist that the...
executive board has put out.
And so?
Mr. Na...
you're in danger.
Honey, do you really think there's such a thing called destiny?
I'm only here to tell you what your destiny looks like.
Accepting your destiny is your responsibility.
Mr. Na...
you're in danger.
Destiny?
Why do you keep calling me when I told you I wasn't feeling well.
Do you think I want to do this?
- Then, why are you doing this? - Here.
Take this.
What's this?
That's where Mr. Kim is. Go see him.
Go look for yourself and ask him yourself.
Let's be clear on one thing, I didn't tell you anything.
(Moonlight Goshiwon)
Kim Young-hwa!
What are you so embarrassed about? What are you trying to hide?
Is your pride more important than me?
It's not for my pride.
I was afraid you'd be upset because of me.
You'd feel sad for me.
I was afraid you'd cry for me.
You're a wretched old geezer.
Ik-hee. I really want to see my daughter. Where are you right now?
Today is the school festival. I can't since I'm performing.
Then, should I go see your performance?
Why? This isn't some sort of kindergarten party.
You'd better not yell when you're here.
You can come if you promise to see it quietly.
Okay.
I'll be right there.
You were here, Na Ik-hee?
Kang Bo-ram.
Don't be nervous and do well.
I'll make sure to watch you.
Someone said...
when you meet the one you're destined to be with, you'll hear bells in your ears.
Mr. Na!
Did you come to see the performance?
Yeah, I finished my work near here and had some time on my hands.
Why are you here?
I'm representing the graduate class.
I'm glad you're here. We should watch it together.
Next is our school's legendary band's performance, Yanos.
Let's give them a round of applause.
I guess I have no place here either.
You keep watching, I'm leaving.
You're leaving?
The song I'm going to sing next is a song liked...
by a person I love the most in this world.
A solo song?
How do you like this song? It's a song by a singer I used to really like.
She said it's a song that is liked by the person she loves the most in this world.
My daughter, who I love the most in this world...
said that.
That's why I need to fight my destiny.
Okay, destiny. Bring it!
I'm ready whenever you get here!
