Brought to you by The Gisaeng Team @ Viki.
Your father...
how about pressing him to change?
I pressed one word and he fired me.
No, not in that manner.
Have him thoroughly realize how precious his wife is.
How?
Make a reason to have your mother leave,
or both you and your mother. That might be even better.
That sounds like a good idea.
But my mom doesn't listen to what I say.
I thought women listen to their children more than their husband.
Not my mom.
She's been tamed by father for decades.
You don't even have that much persuasive ability?
It's for your mom's sake.
It's not living apart completely.
But to see what his wife's absence means.
To understand how precious her existence means.
For him to realize that. That's not too hard, right?
Do it well, with skill.
I got it.
My dad?
I'm over here.
Andre, let's go.
Go well.
Did you eat lunch?
Yes.
If you get hungry, eat it. It's sandwich and juice.
What time are you going tomorrow? To rehearsal?
Before noon.
Let's meet in a couple of days.
I'm a little busy tomorrow and the day after tomorrow.
Fine, then.
I'll tend to some business too.
Okay.
Andre, goodbye.
How was Sohn Ja today?
Not many words, and nothing much.
He took a walk with Andre.
After that, go on in. There isn't much to do.
What's the use of doing nothing.
Anything I can help with?
Nothing.
Let me do that.
Go and read.
What about peeling garlic?
We have some mashed up already.
Do you know how to play baseball?
Of course.
Would you teach me how to pitch a ball?
Yes.
But what for?
I saw on the internet the celebrities doing that, and it looked like fun.
You'll get hurt!
Why would I get hurt just throwing the ball?
I have everything, including the glove.
Who is it?
Probably Gong Joo.
Me.
I'm hungry.
Did you guys eat?
There's sandwich in the fridge.
Where's Andre?
He left, of course.
Maybe we should get a dog too.
Should I buy one?
It's not like you'll be home everyday. Who's gonna look after it?
The dog will be so lonely.
That's true.
Will father be late?
He said he'd be home by nine.
Mom, you're a woman too.
Do you ever have dreams about throwing a rebellion?
What rebellion?
A wife's rebellion.
So your father can torment me about it?
Why would I ever do that?
Does father respect you, honestly?
He doesn't hit you or speak harshly,
but does he love or cherish you? Or tend to you?
There's none of that.
What am I to do though. It's his personality. I just have to live according to it.
Mom, that is precisely your problem.
Why do you want to make yourself into a maid?
What maid?
Then are you an equal to father?
Do you have to earn the rights and power for that?
Has father ever fulfill his role as a husband?
Other than bringing you money,
has he ever done any event or
bought you a present for your wedding anniversary?
On our 20th, I received a necklace from him, remember?
The one that grandma had it ordered in advance?
Regardless.
He scolds you all the time, no matter how small the mistake.
You know how your father's a perfectionist.
Mom,
don't you want to live the remainder your life a little more happy and more human-like?
Receiving love from father?
What do you mean?
Leave home.
Leave home?
Yup. With me.
So I can get myself divorced? At my age?
Come up with an excuse
to create the opportunity for father to really realize how precious your existence is.
Say something that makes sense, Ah Da Mo.
What's to be scared about at your age, mom?
You don't know your father like I do.
If we leave...
He won't even bat an eye.
He'll probably send me the divorce papers right away.
Then do it.
Listen to what you say.
Will you get divorced, or will father change?
Wanna bet on it?
We'll come up with a good excuse.
And what did grandma ever do wrong?
Get her in on it.
No, no...
There are no secrets between the mother and son.
Mom.
Father asks for honey water after he drinks, right?
Then, you go and make honey water, but say we're out of honey.
Then father will get all worked up
and shout about how a homemaker should know we're out of honey.
Then, mom...
You say a person can be unaware of that.
And cry about how you'r'e always getting scolded by him.
You're too noisy. Go out now.
Mom!
Yes?
The chairman is arriving.
Yes.
Your father's coming in.
Andre...
Andre!
Dad's coming home.
What?
I wanted to drink some honey water.
I'll make it for you.
Is that all we have?
There's probably more in the basement.
Please make some for me, to drink later.
Yes.
Andre!
You missed dad, right?
He sure knows how to cling.
How are you...
home so soon?
Is coming home early a fault too?
No, it's not a fault.
Where's mother?
She's on the phone.
This little thing.
Did you give him something nutritious?
Dog feed.
You should give him meat.
He went and married (mated).
It failed.
Why?
I don't know.
I was told he wasn't interested and just kept avoiding.
See!
I told you, it's too soon.
Andre.
Nothing really good about getting married.
It will just make your body exhausted.
Do you feel exhausted, Father?
Are you itching to argue again? Using any excuse?
Don't say such a thing in front of mom.
You're back.
Yes.
Aigo.
Eat a lot, our Ra Ra. This won't fatten you.
Yes.
I wondered why I felt like making Vietnamese Spring rolls today.
And our Ra Ra came.
Honey, maybe you have some power.
Having power and having a bright soul is different.
You can't get this flavor from the ones at the restaurant.
Of course not. The ingredients are different.
If you put pineapple in it, it tastes weird, but they do.
Because they don't know.
I heard you went to see a female shaman.
Just cuz my friends wanted to go.
What are you curious about?
Try asking me.
When will I meet my life's mate, Master Geum?
Let me have a look.
If you desire, perhaps next year, even.
An answer like that, I can come up with too!
Do you want to marry?
No.
If there's a decent guy,
maybe I'll date him for some time, and maybe the year after next?
Even if we say someone is a good groom prospect.
Your mom says not to get involved.
It's probably because dad's hospital has a lot of VIP's
and mom's thinking perhaps among them.
The looks.. about my level should do, right?
Uncle, you've got the looks of a warm-hearted man from the 80's.
These days, the level's changed some.
If you get someone,
show him to me first.
It takes a man to see about a man.
It's true.
Yes.
Do you have friends who are already married?
Just one.
And yesterday, an alum sister married.
Among my friends,
there's a grandpa already.
His daughter is sophomore in high school,
but she got a boyfriend.
They should get them to marry then.
Uncle, you know the truth, right?
What truth?
Was I really born premature?
I'm not, right?
No, you are.
Then why isn't there any pictures of me in the incubator?
There isn't?
I'm pretty smart too.
Mom and dad reversed the order of things.
Someone sent me this.
Who is that?
Lawyer Kim Jang Shin.
Why the lawyer?
I hired him because of Buyonggak issue.
You're insisting on doing something?
I listened to you and erased the thought.
And that's why I treated him to a meal.
It's someone you don't know?
It was sent from a number 000.
Whoever it is, they sure have nothing to do...
I mean, we're not even coming out of a hotel.
What use is a picture of eating meal together?
Did you stay home today?
Yes.
Why?
Who is this!?
I'm coming in for a moment.
Sure.
I'm about to say something I'm apologetic for.
What?
I am going to need to rest for a while.
Why?
Strangely, I can't seem to control my body.
What exactly is wrong?
I just keep getting forgetful.
And today I barely got through,
but I couldn't get the seasoning right.
I don't think I can work properly under current conditions.
Get a health checkup.
Last Fall, there was nothing wrong.
I think I'm just going through menopause symptoms early.
Young people can go through
a period of two or three months of strange symptoms too.
When they were perfectly fine before.
Make an appointment and get a checkup tomorrow.
First, I'd like to go home and rest for a few days.
Would Manager Noh be able to handle things?
I've handed her the recipes I've written.
And she says she's confident.
Honestly, you really did overwork these past years.
It's my fault.
I should've had you rest, even if you needed to be forced.
No.
Mother is coming up actually.
When?
I got this thought to me, honey.
What thought?
Sohn Ja.
He says he's scared of his home.
So let's all move into Sohn Ja's to live together.
And Sohn Ja won't be lonely anymore and that's resolved.
And good for us too, since we won't have to pay rent money.
Good for him and good for us.
That's true, but would he want that?
He's scared of going home.
But that's only temporarily.
By August or September, he'll...
If we leave him like that,
he'll get himself conned and loose his house.
Though it's true that paying $1,200 a month every month
is quite a bit of money.
Of course, it is.
At this rate, in two or three years, we'll be in trouble.
But it's not like we can just bring that up like tha, t either.
I'll make it so that he'll want to continue to be with us.
So that he, himself, will bring it up.
Master Jeong said something strange yesterday.
That you... were pierced by maternal love.
But that something good will happen soon.
Will she be found and
will I get to meet her this time?
Ack!
Why you of all!
Couldn't you at least have waited, you rascal?
You're just...!
Did you ever tell me you liked me?
Why did you come in here and wake me from my dream? Why?
Why you!
Dear.
Mr. Geum Shi Jo.
What?
Get up and go eat.
Eat what?
Shouldn't you be acting like you're demented?
Since you used to be a doctor, please do it well.
You're tired, aren't you?
But it can't be helped. You're the one who sowed this seed.
Our son is the one who spread the seed, to be precise.
Keep your words straight.
Why did you make that promise to share your kids?
Daughter-in-law's only fault is not being able to have children. Does she have any other fault?
She is considered a perfect daughter-in-law.
That is true too.
Father, you're having a meal?
Are you hungry?
Yup.
But you ate a hearty dinner.
Did I eat more than half a bowl of rice?
I'm so hungry I can't sleep.
Please come this way.
I'll set it for you.
What's this?
Oh, father is feeling hungry.
You're hungry?
Yes.
You should've told me then.
Sorry about the mess I made.
No.
If you eat at night,
you'll gain weight and it's no good to your health.
And you'll have no appetite for breakfast.
Boil me an instant noodle.
What instant noodle!
Um.
Father.
Is a little strange.
How?
I think it's best he gets checked for Alzheimer's.
He keeps on bringing up people from the past.
And father...
He never eats past nine.
Plus, he ate dinner well.
But he came out saying he's hungry
and he broke the kimchi bowl just now.
It's probably not that.
You never know about things though.
Let's keep an eye on him first.
Sohn Ja!
Drink this, green juice.
Your skin's been ruined because of you've been upset and heart-broken.
Hurry and drink up.
This is what's best for the skin.
Me too.
You're plenty fine without drinking any.
What about the mister?
Because of his heart, it's not good for him to drink this.
If it's hard to drink this,
maybe I should make you a fruit juice tomorrow?
No, it's fine.
Live with your heart at ease.
We're like relatives, right?
Yes.
Later, say to the maid woman,
"Who are you ahjumma?".
That's going overboard.
We got to speed up the development to get the ad going.
I'll take care of this from now on.
So worried she might have sent the child to the orphanage.
An hour is like three years.
The saying is not an hour is like three years.
It's a quarter feels like three years.
And a quarter is 15 minutes.
How nice for you that you know so much.
Though you cast off your own granddaughter.
And I'm already going crazy because of it.
Are you going to keep on pricking me where it hurts?
Do you wish to see me get dementia for real?
What if something happened to the child, or if we can't find her?
I won't be able to die properly.
The Gods need to help us..
What crime did the child commit?
Come to have your meal.
Hurry and wipe your tears!
Okay!
If you're still feeling down, you should go out and watch a movie.
Yes.
If you watch something good, tell me about it.
Last night, I was squashed by scissors (had a nightmare).
Grandma appeared in my dream.
What did she do?
She rode on top of my heart so that I couldn't breathe.
She's telling you to cut your attachment to her.
She's afraid her sohn (grand) ja (son) can't do anything because of her.
That's true.
What?
Sohnja (grandson) is Sohn Ja.
If your grandma ever
appears in your dream telling you to follow her somewhere, don't!
And wake up.
Yes.
Is it good?
It's edible enough.
You don't need to go on diet though.
If you want to eat it too, let us know.
Yes.
Know what?
You should date someone, and get married early, like by the Fall.
A man getting married early only brings hardship.
What if a baby is born? Then you won't be able to do anything. No school or anything.
But in Sohn Ja's case, that might actually be fine.
Instead of now,
if he waits after he's successful already,
he'll be able to meet a much better mate.
Marriage is not something you just do out of whim because of loneliness.
Sohn Ja, what do you think?
I've never given any thoughts to that.
Don't think about it. Continue not to.
No need to think about it even.
For now the important thing is to finish school and become successful.
Don't get yourself involved without thinking.
What?
It's more advantageous that Sohn Ja doesn't marry and live with us for a long time.
To who?
To us.
What advantage?
Mom, you're not going to steal his house, are you?
Are you crazy? It's nothing like that.
You just don't get yourself involved so generously.
Just do your best to be nice to Sohn Ja.
Are you saying you want me and him to be something?
That thinking of yours.
Who cooks porridge for the dog?
I'll be back by three.
Yes.
Is your body in pain?
I am worried.
Hello?
Is there no development?
We plan to put an ad in the papers looking for her.
That seems to be the fastest method.
And reveal everything?
We'll come up with a reason to look for the woman only,
so please don't worry.
She quit our house, saying she wants to raise the child.
So we are hopeful.
Are you getting sleep?
You're not, right?
I understand.
I heard you met my parents yesterday.
Thank you.
I don't really have anything I can say.
Go ahead and hang up.
What time do you finish with work?
I'll wait, so let's meet, even just or a short time.
I don't have the time for that, emotionally.
We should discuss about our ideas,
and find the child.
If only we can find her, just by meeting together.
Go ahead and hang up.
Isn't that our son's?
Yup, but so what if I wear it once.
Don't I look young, daughter?
Yes.
Take that off.
It's comfortable and nice though.
So what if he wears it though.
Should I play golf too?
How are you going to play something you've never done?
Nice shot.
Oh!
Put an ad in the paper to find that woman.
That woman who made good fermented bean stew.
That woman from the past?
Yup.
Saying what?
Saying I'm looking for her.
What will you do if you find her?
I told you, I'm curious about her.
Hurry and put an ad in the paper.
An ad to find a person.
He is strange for sure, right?
I don't know.
If I think he is, then he is,
if I think he's not, he's not.
Why would father wear his son's clothes?
He's obsessive about cleanliness to a clinical degree,
and he's clear about what is whose.
Maybe it's just part of getting old?
No, it isn't, mother.
Look how he wants to play golf?
He always regarded people who play golf as pathetic.
Saying it's a waste of time and waste of money.
Let's discuss with son when he gets back.
What about the newspaper ad?
They say you ought to listen to the wish of the dead.
Can't you listen to the wish of your living father-in-law?
It's not like it costs a lot of money.
I'll help to make it nice.
But we have no pretext for it.
If we say we're looking for the woman who took the baby,
she'd remember, right?
Then she might misunderstand. Leave that line out.
She might have raised the child as her real child.
Right, that's probably likely.
Just make it so that we want to meet her and thank her.
Then, she'll probably contact us.
Yes.
I did good, right?
Did you get her to do it?
She said she will do it.
Then it's only a matter time that we find her now?
I can't put my heart to ease until I find her and see her with my own eyes.
What brings you here?
Ah Mi told me you were going to rehearse today.
You're not pleased to see me?
It's just not expected.
How many tickets did you sell?
I sold all of them.
Wow you're so skilled.
I just forced all mine on my uncle.
Later on when you become an instructor,
don't do such things, on the account of how we suffered.
That is how I feel now,
but you never know.
What is it?
Clothes.
I picked out the ones that suit you.
And this I only wore it once.
It's alright.
You feel upset, even though we're friends?
You know you are...
Never mind.
Say it.
I brought them here because I thought of you.
You needn't think about such things...
Regardless, it's because you don't want to wear those that you brought them here.
Hey, why wouldn't I want to wear these?
I paid $880 for this and this one is $1,100.
It's just that when I see you, you're always wearing clothes from the streets of Hongdae university.
Regardless, it's a no-thank-you.
Or, give to Ah Mi.
It's Joo.
Yup.
I'm with Sa Ran right now.
She got us a group date tonight.
It's through Joo's aunt. Guys who passed the civil exams.
Not for me.
Why?
I'm not that interested anymore.
You don't want love?
Hey, how exciting would it be to land a jackpot guy.
I only have two months left before the test.
I don't have the time to worry about that now.
You...
have someone, don't you?
Who.. would I have?
But this feels like...
you definitely do have someone.
You guys have fun among yourselves and tell me if anything fun comes out of it.
Aigo you're here.
Why are you putting out the laundry here?!
Look how great the sunlight is.
This isn't someone's home.
Have you got any thoughts in that big head of yours?!
And you didn't get rid of any of the dirt, either.
What.
I washed this really hard.
What happens when you wash twice as hard then?
See if you ever hang them here again.
I just can't live.
Because of me?!
No, because of the laundry.
It just continues everytime I sleep.
The underwears, the socks...
If I don't do them for a few days, they build up such a big pile.
It's annoying me to death.
You've arrived.
That volcano... he hangs laundry here!
If he ever does that again, step on him.
You should've called me.
I would've gone to escort you back.
For what?
It's just a measily old woman.
You're going to waste expensive oil on the ground?
Aigo.
It's going to be difficult for awhile.
She puts an artist like me lower than Ma Dan Se?
She was sweating quite a bit yesterday.
Yeah.
She needs to know to rest every now and then.
But she overworked too harshly.
What is her age, the kitchen head?
Mid 40's.
But she's young.
You know something?
They say maidens get sick more often.
I've heard that saying a lot too actually.
Women, when they get to an age,
they need to meet a man and have children.
They say the toxic fluids come out when you give birth to a child.
That's why they say
even a horse-riding lord turns around to look at the woman who's given birth.
Manager, how many children do you have?
None.
Oh, so you're a D'income.
What's that?
Double income and no kids.
Couples that live with the double income and no kids.
Ahjumma, you know so much,
so you must want to eat a lot, too.
Does your husband treat you nice?
She's still before marriage.
I see.
These days the maidens and the married are similar looking, you see.
And so I thought surely you were married.
What exactly do they say the maidens get sick with?
No, it's...
We weren't talking about you, manager.
We mean, the usual maidens.
You two are such healthy married women.
So pickle the kimchee to be delicious.
Mince this.
Very prettily.
Madam Grandma is here.
And not much happenings?
The kitchen head says she will rest for a little.
So she went home today. Other than that, nothing.
Did she and Representative Oh...
get into an upsetting situation?
No, she says she's weary...
Get her on the phone.
You're back.
What the heck happened to the kitchen head?
I just feel hot and I can't concentrate on the food.
Are you dating someone?
No.
I'll come right over.
Never mind. What for?
You've got to be looking at the sky in order to pick the star.
How would the kitchen head date anyone?
Didn't you hear what Chaeryeon said?
You need talent for dating too.
Then what about you?
Got the talent or not?
Before anything else.
You're going to have to lose the weight first.
They say there are men who love rectangular women like me.
And so you're going to wait for a man like that?
They say even the grass shoe has its pair.
Would I stay a maiden forever?
I may...
not be some designer shoe.
But I am still a sweet shoe enough to be worn.
Let's start with holding the ball.
This is called the grip.
Usually most women would grab the ball like all five fingers like this
when they're holding a ball.
But in baseball, you only use three fingers.
Can you pitch a ball with only three fingers?
That's how you pitch a ball accurately.
And the speed is faster too.
At first it may be uncomfortable,
but you'll get used to it if you do it often.
Leave the two fingers out. Fold them.
It's really uncomfortable. It's hard.
I feel like I'm going to drop it.
Nuna, you're not that strong so it might be hard.
But you still should throw it this way.
If you want it to hit where you want it.
And I'll tell you more about it later, but you can throw a curve ball like this too.
And, what do I do next?
First get your pose.
Stand sideways like this.
Holding the ball.
Inside the glove like this. And the left leg...
You first raise it, then...
You let it down straight.
And do this.
Throw it.
Got it? Try it once.
Yes.
Do it once more.
Getting massages...
isn't that some sort of addiction too?
Though it's not like it's a bad addiction.
I heard you've been exercising with that dandy around.
What would others say?
He brings coffee.
And from a distance behind me.
Starting tomorrow, have Ma Dan Se do it instead.
I told him already.
Mom, you're...
Don't you know how Ma Dan Se has a lot to do and he's busy?
I should have him get plenty of rest.
Just get him to rest a little during the day.
That dandy doesn't go around the customer's rooms making a scene, does he?
Actually there are some who are fond of him.
Chairman Kim Myeong Joon always looks for Mr. Seo.
Don't judge a person by your standard, mom.
Regardless.
Don't be close to him.
I treat all the employees the same.
Madam director.
You have a guest.
Okay.
Don't make me talk much about it.
I understand.
That Soon Deok.
Her voice is so out of energy.
Shouldn't she be going to the hospital?
She says she just needs to rest a little.
By chance.
By chance what?
No, it's nothing.
Why are you starting something then stopping? It's so unlike you, mom.
No, for a moment there.
I just thought maybe she's with child.
I heard something strange from Master Jeong.
What?
Did he say who's going to be the next president?
Not about the president.
He said Soon Deok has maternal love piercing her.
But that she's going to meet soon.
Master Jeong did?
Yes.
Maternal love...
Mean she's got a child, no?
That is definitely what it means.
What did Soon Deok say about that?
Her expression was that it was absurd.
When I think about it too. She's been here all this time.
What child would she have?
Then.
She wanted to have a child.
Or it means
she's going to have one soon.
Is that it?
It's inside her womb then.
Then...
Whose child..
She wasn't going around to the temple.
She was going around meeting a man.
Have her come over for lunch tomorrow.
I'll know by looking at her face.
Hey.
Is her face looking pale?
And exhausted?
These last few days, a little...
It's true then.
It's definitely true.

In order to give this to my baby.
I have saved penny after penny.
What now?
Mom.
I'll give you a third of my inheritance.
Please heed your son's words.
As if I have no inheritance.
It's merrier to have more.
So you're going to give it to me.
And you'll inherit from me later on anyway.
Mom.
Your son's wish. Please.
If you keep this up, I'm going to go tell your father.
You're not someone who would.
Just one week.
If you vacate this home,
father will surely and thoroughly realize to be grateful of his wife.
He'll surely change.
Your father's temperament. At first, it was hard.
But somehow, without realizing when.
These days I actually see that as his allure.
Mom, you're a goner.
Love isn't about trying to change someone.
It's about acknowleding and accepting the way someone is.
Fine, it's love for you, Mom.
But, is it love for father, too?
Is your father someone who would live without love?
It's not, the way I see it.
Then what?
Just a family member who tends to him.
His woman-in-waiting.
As your son, I don't like seeing you treated like that.
It makes me mad. Seriously.
What do you know?
How did someone's precious only daughter get tamed like this?
I understand my son's heart.
I'm about to get ill from it.
Please disappear.
What about grandma?
What's going to happen in a week?
The maids can take care of grandma plenty fine.
Is it really that hard to go out for a few days with a proper excuse?
It's not the right thing to do.
And the way you and father live is right?
It's not like we're in the Joseon era.
And, father is the emperor and you being the obedient lady-in-waiting.
It really looks like the maid tending to the king.
When I was in fifth grade,
you had to be at the hospital for a few days because grandma collapsed.
Somehow the maids couldn't come, so the house wasn't cleaned for two days or so.
Father walked into the entry after work
and saw that the floors were slight dusty
and he walked to the bedroom with his shoes on.
That is still vivid to me.
Even at my young age then,
I couldn't understand him.
If you get to the bottom of it,
it's more my fault than your father's fault.
I'm the one who started it, by accepting the way he is.
So from now on...
What is the mother and son talking so tenderly about?
About traveling.
Where to?
I thought it'd be nice to go on a family vacation.
How can your mother go on a family vacation?
If your father can't go, your mother can't go either.
Grandma, mother's never had a vacation time-off, all her life.
That is how it is for a homemaker.
Why don't you travel to Hong Kong with me.
It'd be better for you if the secretaries went along with you, instead of me.
And don't bicker with great auntie like you did last time.
Have a good time there and come back.
We weren't bickering.
We were just having a match of words out of boredom.
Would you like to leave tomorrow then?
Should I pack your bags for you, grandma?
Why would you do that?
I'm going to go pick up nuna.
Did you let her know?
Yes, she's on her way home.
Nuna.
What are you thinking so deeply about?
About design and assignment.
Give that to me. I'll carry it.
It's okay.
Where did you park the car?
Behind that alley.
It's nice to have you.
Were you wearing a hat this morning when you left?
Nope, I bought it.
My friends say it suits me well.
You look cute.
How can you say your nuna is cute?
Nuna, you know.
You seemed to have gotten brighter lately.
Because life is liveable.
It's not because of me?
Why would it be you?
Since I moved in.
Do you feel some sort of vitality?
What exactly do you want to hear?
Please rest.
Go carefully.
Your dad drank alcohol.
You smell the liquor, right?
And mother?
Asleep, of course.
Throat.
My throat's dry.
Go inside, Father.
Why?
Since grandma is asleep.
Hyeon Sook!
Yes.
Where did you put the honey? Yes.
Where did you put the honey?
I didn't put it anywhere.
Then where did it go?
I'll ask.
The honey jar.
Oh! It's not here.
Hurry and go to the basement.
If it's all gone, you should replace it right away.
But there was certainly some left.
It's not there.
Honey?
That can't be. Look for it carefully.
I did.
Does the honey bottle grow legs to go somewhere?
Da Mo!
I'm going crazy.
Come outside for a minute.
Why?
Honey water.
Just a moment.
The maids can't find the honey jar.
You leave your husband's food to be tended by the maids?
I'll have it here soon.
You took it, didn't you?
What?
Go with the flow, Mom.
Say what I told you to say.
Get the tears going and
say it's the first time you've ever been without honey in many decades.
Ask him how he can treat you this way.
Ask him what you mean to him.
Why aren't you going upstairs?
Grandma says she's going to make a trip to Hong Kong.
When?
Tomorrow or the day after. When things are ready.
Tell me again tomorrow, just in case.
Yes.
What are you doing?
What should we do?
We're out of honey.
Out of it?
I thought we had some.
Great job you do!
Where do you keep your mind exactly?
I'm sorry.
Geez.
I can't even earn myself a cup of honey water.
Seriously!
You have a number of maids.
You only worry about adorning yourself.
Go upstairs.
I get so mad whenever I come home.
What's going to happen if you keep upsetting me like this?
The veins in my head will explode.
Father, if there's no honey water, just drink water.
Or you can drink orange juice.
Or you can drink rice punch.
Or you can drink plum tea.
Why are you getting involved again?
That rascal always takes his mom's side.
In life, one can be out of honey.
Will you be in some dire condition if you don't drink it for one day?
At mom's age, a little forgetful is a given.
Do I have to worry about every single thing?
Mom worries about every single thing too.
How many things do you take in the morning?
She has to get vitamin, the red giseng, the Japanese plum.
Did mom ever forget it once?
When you shower, she gets the underwear and socks ready like knifework.
Gets your shirt and tie ready daily.
Charging your phone battery, and...
She verifies your lunch menu with the secretaries
and sets the dinner menu accordingly.
She shops for groceries herself.
And she picks through fish for you when you're not even a child.
Who does as much as mom?
For the anniversaries or the birthdays...
Have you ever done anything for her from your heart?
Am I a God?
How many mouths am I responsible for, huh?
Twenty four hours a day isn't enough.
Let's do this, Father.
You think mom made a grand mistake
and you're mad.
Then give mom some time off.
Let's call it vacation if you want.
And Father, you can ease your heart a little while mom's gone.
Are you telling me to let your mom leave home?
Yes.
Take the time for you both to think about things.
The marriage expert on TV says...
couples need to live apart every now and then.
They can reflect and fix.
I...
What do I have to reflect and fix about?
Huh.
Then.
Mom.
Your mom
needs to get her mind alert and her sense straight.
If she lets her mind loose, her forgetfulness will get worse.
Go and sleep.
Mom!!!
Don't tire me out like this.
I'm thirsty, I said.
Isn't this honey water?
I found it.
Were you playing a joke?
No.
Let's get some sleep.
I should set the alarm.
There's no need.
I'll be the one escorting the representative for her morning exercise.
Oh, why?
Madam grandma says to.
That grandma is seriously.
Why are they all so mean to me?
Manager Noh alone is already making it hard for me.
Now add the grandma to that.
What am I going to do?
You never know what's going to happen to a person today or tomorrow.
Hurry and get the ad out.
Yes.
What ad?
Don't you worry, honey?
He's not someone who would get dementia, father.
Then why is he acting like this?
Every person has something peculiar about them.
What about the ad then?
I'll put it in.
Here.
There's nothing else to say except just this.
It's fine.
She won't answer?
It's turned off.
My intuition must be right.
Dear Buddha.
That child, I must find her.
Please keep her alive in a healthy body.
What did Sa Ran do yesterday?
Did she come straight home after rehearsal?
Yes.
And then she went out with Sohn Ja to throw a ball.
Throw a ball?
Yup.
Why would she do that?
She says she saw the female celebrities do it.
And that she wants to do it too.
Why is that thing doing such reckless things, instead of dating?
And then?
What is 'and then' about it?
I'm giving up on my mom.
You need two hands to clap.
How regrettable.
How nice it would be if she had listened to her son.
Your temperament determines your pillars (fate).
That one good thing is
she herself doesn't resent father or see herself as misfortuned.
Then she must love him.
The issue is that mom is the only one in love.
Father only knows work.
And now, Andre too.
This is good, you say?
It's pretty good.
If it suits your taste, I'll make it for you later on.
You know how to make something like this too?
This isn't hard or anything.
Want to go to Hong Kong?
Taking my grandma there.
For how many days?
About ten days?
I can't because of rehearsal.
That's true.
Want to go horse-back riding today?
Or how about going to the swimming pool?
Why swimming all of a sudden?
You know how to swim, right?
No.
I'll teach you. I can swim with a cup on my forehead.
Omo, how is that possible?
For real.
You don't have a swimming suit then, right?
There should be one at home somewhere.
How about this one?
Subtitles by Team Gisaeng @ Viki.com
I've just sent you the details by email. Please verify it.
How much is it?
No.
Put in in t box.
Were you able to sleep well?
Yeah.
I saw a place that sells pancake cookies.
Why?
Tell me the truth.
By any chance?
Are you with child?
What child?
No?
No.
Then why is your facial color like that?
So pale.
They say you're just going to rest. Why aren't you going to the hospital?
My body is exhausted so I can't put energy in food.
And food made without energy has no taste.
I'll be fine after I rest some.
Are you a doctor?
Every illness needs to be treated early.
Go and make a trip to the hospital first.
Yes.
I'll rest another two or three days, and have a blood checkup done.
Are you coming from home?
No, I went to the temple.
Does going to the temple yield you liquor or rice cake?
You're still the same.
They do give you rice cakes.
I am a body who has sinned a lot in the past life.
So I just want to melt some of the curse.
If your sins are great.
What about me then?
Please have some.
It's good.
Now that you're here, mother, Buyonggak feels so abundant.
The ad will go out in tomorrow morning's paper.
The three major papers, all of them.
What kind of text is that?
A Buddhist nun I know.
These days the Buddhist nuns send out texts?
These days the monks, they go around in cars too.
Should we say the world is a better place then?
Stretch your body a little.
I know how to submerge in water.
It's not that you have no mindset for exercise.
Then, you dislike water?
Somehow it just became this way.
I was busy living life, that I didn't get to learn it.
Get water on you first.
Brought to you by The Gisaeng Team @ Viki.
Be at ease. Don't tense up. Just turn.
I said not to.
Maybe Master Jeong's starting to lose his sense now.
To say such an inaccurate thing.
I guess so.
How are you losing so many hairs?
I've gotten old too.
Saying such a thing.
Isn't a gisaeng a person too?
Who can stop the time?
Master Jeong's teacher lived to 120 years.
At 60 or 70, it's the same as being in youth.
Those people are masters of morality.
Maybe I should go into the moutain and cultivate my moral understanding too.
And mom you make an offering to me.
Let's live like that in the next life.
And be born as men.
Then who will I be bore by?
A pretty.
A dazzling figured.
Meet a healthy whoever.
You're just perfect for me, mom.
Stop talking nonsense now.
Manage your hair well instead.
You're going to be bald soon.
Come, come here and sit.
I'll do acupressure on you.
We got it opposite.
I should be doing this for you.
This capable oriental doctor I know told me this.
Hair is all about how you nourish it.
If you get the energy ciculating well you won't lose hair.
Yup.
If you get stressed, your blood gets blocked at the shoulder.
And your energy doesn't go up to your head.
Oh, you do know it well.
It's not like I am a master of great understanding.
How can I not get stressed through my work?
And Jang Joo Hee came to upset me on top of all.
What did you say?
If she sees the newspaper,
she might even call tomorrow.
What if we find her
and she resents us and blames you?
I probably won't say anything kind either, if it was me.
I can't do anything about that.
If...
that woman's household got very successful.
And that child grew up well without any hardships.
Then,
even if we are her biologicals, would she want to come to us?
I don't know.
Aigo, it's half anticipation, half worry.
Regardless, we have to find her.
I can't shut my eyes like this.
I'm jealous. You're good at so many things.
Because I'm a man.
You're just speaking a humble line, right?
Yup.
A man needs to be good at everything and be capable.
In terms of everything.
If you're so capable, how did you fail to persuade your mother?
The adults say children don't turn out the way they want.
It's the same with parents.
If only they would listen to their children.
But they just won't.
My friend's parents are like that too, they tell me.
It's a nice thing that your mother loves and respects your father.
However,
if only one side sacrifices and tolerates incessantly like that.
What if...
I mean, what if, unfortunately, your mother passes away first.
Then, your father will come to realize your mother's love belatedly.
Then, amidst regret and guilt..
He could collapse rapidly, due to his longing.
There are lots of men who fall to that predicament.
You see them on the TV as well.
There is this man,
who felt self-guilt toward his wife belatedly,
went to his wife's tomb...
We're about to eat, so I shouldn't talk about such a grave matter.
What I'm saying is,
it's to your father's benefit to treat your mother well
and express his love for her.
It's true.
Why didn't you say something like that to your mother?
I wonder, too.
Men don't have the skills for talking.
But you were quite skilled with me.
Seriously.
I was never going to meet you again.
When I get the chance, I'm going to talk to her again.
Let me see.
What does it look like?
A yacht.
I'm hungry, from swimming.
It's not because of swimming.
It's because you ate udon and ddeokbbeokgi (spicy rice cake) earlier.
It was so delicious when we ate it though.
People that dance are all fond of meat and eat it well.
It tends to be very replenishing.
Is this beef actually good or bad for your body?
There are so many different sayings, I don't know anymore.
If you don't overeat it, it's good for your body.
From what I read in books.
The reason why humans have both canine and molar teeth
is because we need to eat meat and greens both.
Which means eating some of everything is best.
If you look at the people who live long lives,
they all eat a little bit of meat often, from what's in the news.
I guess you always read the newspaper?
I'm not too interested in the politics or the finance.
Why don't you answer?
A friend.
If he gets a reachable signal and you don't answer,
think about how upsetting it is for him.
If I can, I always answer. And, if I'm in a situation I can't, then I turn it off.
You should answer it unless you want to call back.
I'll call him back after we're done eating.
Why?
You often ignored my call.
Because you upset my feelings.
It put me in really lousy moods too, you know.
You have to show manner to receive manner.
From the way you talk, you are so smart.
How are you so skilled in talking?
You know how to retort well.
It's not a compliment, huh?
It's closer to a compliment.
Who's all there?
I got it.
I'll try to stop by if I can.
Okay.
Asking me to come drinking with them.
Where are they?
It's not far.
Good, then.
I'm not going.
Why?
I should take you home.
I'm not too fond of alcohol. Though I drink too.
Go and meet them.
Friends are important to a man.
I can just take the subway.
Let's go together then.
It's not the same guys from last time.
Why would I meddle into a guys' gathering.
I'm tired from the swim.
I'd like to go home early and rest.
Sister-in-law called me to have lunch together.
Why?
Not for anything really.
She says she wants to talk about something.
I'm coming with you.
She didn't tell you not to tell me, right?
It's already been settled.
Hello.
I saw the newspaper yesterday.
Yes.
My wife worked at your place back then.
