== Episode 37 ==.

My child doesn't know how to make rice punch, do you?

I do.

You do?

Yes, I do.

She makes it quite well.

My, how surprising.

Your father-in-law is very fond of rice punch.

At times he even eats it with rice in it.

One of my friends puts rice in milk and eats it like that.

We should prepare the wedding presents to the groom's family.

Well, what should they be? It's not proper not to prepare any altogether either.

No, how can we not prepare them?

From what I see from my friends, perhaps cash-value gifts?

They send cash to the relatives as they see fit.

I see. Do you have a large extended family?

My husband's siblings are two brothers and three sisters.

As for me, I just have female siblings. I'm the third among four sisters.

The aunties have adored our Dr. Oh so dearly beyond anything.

You have so many siblings.

Since each is out building their own family, it's really not a lot.

To us, just do the basics. But to the extended family,

since our baby here needs to receive their love,

please put in extra care in the gifts to the aunts and uncles.

I see.

Not counting the father-in-law, there's 1 brother and 3 sisters, so along with their spouses 8.

Then you add the nephews and nieces and that's another 10.

Then the maternal aunts and husbands, another 6.

The youngest maternal aunt is divorced.

Then that's 5. And 6 nieces and nephews, for a total of 18 plus 11.

That's 29.

She said to put in extra care, so it's not like we can just hand out socks to them.

It's mother-in-law.

Hello.

Are you going home safely?

Yes, Mother.

You know, for the maternal aunties, and the father-in-law's siblings,

I think you can just get a Hanbok to each.

Yes, I understand.

And probably blankets, but these days there's no need for the thick blankets, right?

And silk would be too expensive, so just get a bed.

Your father-in-law and mother-in-law's bed is rather old.

The frame, you can just get something plain, but put some care in the mattress set.

Yes, I'll do that.

I'm getting another call. Go on in.

Yes, please hang up.

Woah! And they're not highway robbers?! Hanbok?!

These days how much are Hanboks, huh?! They're more expensive then suits.

So for 14 adults, at a thousand dollars each, that's fourteen thousand just there.

Then, add the nieces and nephews.

Hey, let's just fold on it altogether instead.

You call that sensible?!

It's a total highway robbery.

Then you get the presents to the groom's family, Mom.

You only call me Mom when it's convenient, do you?...

Plus, I'd spend that on my own children. Why would I spend blood-like money on others?

Are they others? They're my in-law's.

Aigo, aigo, I'm going crazy.

It's just so-so. These days you and I are both tops.

Isn't there anything more unique?

Your son is coming in.

I'm home. Some stuff I need to get.

Have a seat.

Andre! Andre?

And lunch?

With Doo Seok. You don't feel well?

Then, would my condition be great under the circumstances?

If you think of it as nothing so bad, then it isn't.

The father and son have cut off their relationship and it's no big deal?!

Blood is thicker than water. We won't become strangers.

Andre, come here.

Are you staying at the hotel?

Geum Gang Hotel.

Are you going to stay there until you marry?

I plan to get a studio apartment.

Why a studio apartment? Can you live in a studio?

I slept in a tiny room with others in a gisaeng house too.

Hotel lodging cost is wasteful. We'll marry slowly.

I thought you'd marry next month or something.

Sa Ran says to postpone it...

Since father objects,

it's not right to just turn a deaf ear and push forward a wedding that only pleases us.

She is so thoughtful like that.

So, tell father that we'll wait until he changes his mind, whether that's one year or however many.

If he's going to be stubborn till the end, then he'll have to see his grandchild later.

And you're not stubborn?

I'm saying I will marry the person I truly like, and that's being stubborn? It's being genuine.

Don't be like that, and put some effort toward your dad.

"The babies that cries get the milk."

Don't I know father? The more I beg him, the harder he will trample on me.

But you will just end up getting older. Then, you'll end up having children late, too.

Sa Ran is young, so that wouldn't be a problem.

Plus, there's the saying that it's a blessing to be childless.

If I end up spending my whole life living with Sa Ran as lovers, it'd be even better. Burden-free and all.

What about the company then?

You don't think the mighty Chairman Ah will do a fine job operating it?

He'll last, at least, to the age of 90.

Or, he can build a charity foundation and give back to society.

He'll be so blessed for his good deeds.

Oh, a glass of iced coffee, please.

It's made with buckwheat flour, so it's chewier and delicious.

Please try this once.

Plus it has apple juice in the sauce, and it's both sweet and spicy. It's very yummy.

It's chewy and yummy, right?

Yes, please eat more.

It kind of seems true.

Really?

Charles!

Please try this once.

Try this.

Nah, just go ahead and buy some.

I'll only buy if it suits your taste.

Don't you have any ambitions?

It's not mine, so why would I greed for it?

It's not like I built it. It was father and grandfather who did.

But you put two years into it too.

I also want to do my best and showcase my skills.

But what can I do, when the chairman fired me?

I'm going to enter Doo Seok's company and make a living from that.

So, tell him not to worry. I don't want it.

Doo Seok is the son of Jae Hyang Foods, right?

Yup. We've agreed for me to start there next week.

I'll be going then.

I'll be living a simple life as a ordinary citizen.

Please, Da Mo.

Father would be pleased to hear that we've postponed our marriage.

Thanks to Sa Ran, I am becoming a dutiful son, without a choice.

Does it make sense, mother-in-law? It doesn't, right?

I guess we just have to. It's not like we can't afford it.

It's going to be well over many 10's of thousands with the gifts.

Who can say the words, "... get a bed instead of blanket"?

She talks like she's being thoughtful when she says to get a normal frame

and just put extra care in the mattress. But the mattress is actually the costly part.

If you want a nice one. If it were me, I wouldn't go through with a marriage like that.

If I were to marry into a chaebol (super rich) family, it'd cost in the 100's of thousands.

If you were marrying into a chebol family, I'd sell my apartment if I had to, to send you off to marriage.

Mother-in-law is doing this because she wants the extended family to see me as prestigious.

From what I see, that ahjumma is a lump of fakeness.

Hey, tone down your words.

She calls her baby, baby.

But, if she really thinks of her as her daughter, she'd say to come with nothing.

This is why I shouldn't have let you guys meet.

I know how to size up a person correctly. You are going to end up regretting very badly, for sure.

It's not like I'll be living with my mother-in-law. I'll be living with my husband.

And you don't think the mom will influence the son?

Oppa's so sweet, and he doesn't drink a lot, and he's so earnest.

Does he have a nice personality?

Of course.

I'm also very aware that the personality is the most important part.

He's generous and attentive. And a great doctor.

He treats the patients so well too.

Then that's enough.

Is Ra Ra's marriage going to be troublesome?

You should go and wake up Sa Ran now.

If she sleeps too much, she won't be able to sleep at night.

Oh, you're awake. Are you alright?

When did you learn to drink soju?

During college.

Let's lower our speech today, like the old days.

Let's do that.

My husband. No, he's not anymore.

Weren't you enamored with Geum Eo San ssi?

What use is it if I were?

Jang Joo Hee and Oh Hwa Ran are both ending up as dogs who were chasing a chicken.

So you still have feelings for him?

Fishermen always think the one they couldn't catch was the bigger fish, right?

Did you fail to catch him? You lived with him to your fill, then you spit him out.

When I went to get a meridian massage, I heard you talking on the phone with a man.

It's over.

How is it that men become so scruffy when they age?

He isn't the same man I knew in the past. He's completely lost his allure.

There are many men who don't become that way.

Han Soon Deok... is she alluring, as a woman?

She is, of course. She's elegant and quiet.

The kitchen head is elegant?

Her disposition.

Her modesty is her allure. And she knows how to be considerate of others.

She's never had a man all these years?

She only went out to the temple...

She's pretty much lived her life without stepping beyond the Buyonggak fence.

Why?

We also wondered what kind of grievance she's been holding inside her all these years.

Now...

I realize it was the case that she's been living her life with her heart longing for Director Geum.

There's a virtuous (chaste) woman there.

The only thing is her leg being inconvenient.

Her cooking skills, and her nature...

Plus her face is pure and she's young too.

Director Geum's won the lotto, pretty much.

Yeah, what a lotto.

Honestly, if I were a man, I think I'd want someone like Soon Deok too, as wife-material.

You're not going to drink?

You are naive about life and you kicked your own fortune away.

So that I can know about life properly, spare a room for me, at Buyonggak.

Alright.

I can move in as soon as tomorrow, right?

I'm not joking.

Come and do what?

Come and watch how Oh Hwa Ran cooks up men. At any rate, I won't be bored, right?

I have no joy.

You're saying you want to take over Buyonggak, right?

What do I know to do that? It's just that I have no husband and no friend. I'm so lonely.

Someone like you can date men to your content.

I don't want to. For the time being, I'm just going to see the sight of the male species.

Or, maybe you can introduce a nice widower to me, if he ever shows up there one of these days.

You must not realize that a gisaeng friend is a tigress friend.

What does that mean?

It means even if they are friends, once a nice man comes along, they become like tigers and drop you.

When Mother Yooncho was around, some chairman of a corporation came by once.

He gave out very generous tips too. And, I think it was Ha Yeon unnie...

Actually the chairman had requested a different gisaeng at first, but she stole him from her.

Mother found out and she gave her the straw mat beating immediately.

My great-aunt was really that scary?

She only smiled like a flower to you and the clients. But with us, it was unspeakable.

Us? We couldn't even breathe properly before her.

When can I come?

Da Mo came by, right?

How did you know?...

I have supernatural power.

Do you have someone tailing him?

What did he say?

He said they're going to delay getting married.

Why?

He said they'll marry when you approve.

And when will that be?

This is only going to delay Da Mo having children.

It won't.

He's going to start working at Jae Hyang Foods starting next week.

And he seemed so worry-free too.

Saying how he and Sa Ran can date for so long now.

What we expected was totally off.

He says he's going to get a studio and live there.

So he won't waste money on hotel.

I guess he's not going to waste any amount of money.

The kid is so much like father-in-law.

How is he going to get a studio?

Just the money in his bank account is quite a lot.

Andre, come here.

Is it so easy to get a job?

I told you, he's starting next week.

Just go and run the bath water. My shoulders are knotted.

Get the spare room in the separate building cleaned.

A guest is coming?

Jang Joo Hee.

She says she wants to move in here.

Omo... Why?

She says she feels lonely and empty. So she wants to come here and do some people-watching.

But what she must really want is to operate this place.

What does she know to do that? She's lived as a homemaker all these years.

That's why she's moving in here. To get a grasp of everything.

Why would she, though?

She has no man to lean on.

So I suppose she wants to garner a sense of accomplishment through work, very belatedly in life.

What?

Ra Ra isn't the director's real daughter,

but the daughter of his younger brother. You didn't know?

What do you mean the younger brother's daughter?

The older brother didn't have any children. So, they gave her to the older brother, to raise, after they had her.

Who told you that?

She confess today, with her own mouth.

There's no guarantee that he's going to leave the hospital to you.

Instead of a son-in-law...

And it's not even a real son-in-law. It's actually the niece's husband.

A nephew-in-law would be more distant than his own nephews.

Still, they must have engendered love, as a result of raising her.

Or, they even could just donate the hospital to society.

Put the word to Ra Ra.

Saying what?

You said Ra Ra's never lived in an apartment before.

Tell her that it's going to be miserable

living in an apartment with the noise and getting cigarette smoke from the floor below when you open the door to the deck.

Then she might pester them to buy a villa instead.

These days the high-end villas are so luxurious.

They start at $2 million, Mom.

But they are so rich.

Since the time of the deceased Director Geum, they've been accumulating their fortune and it's enormous.

Just do as I tell you for now.

Under whose name is the apartment?

Ra Ra's.

If they buy you guys a villa, then tell her to put it under both your names.

Actually there's something I didn't tell you since I was afraid you might get angry, Mom.

What?

The apartment... it wasn't purchased. It's leased.

What? Not a purchase but a lease?!

Yes.

If it looks like they're not going to buy the villa, then just think of this as never having happened.

How... after all this time?

Leave it to me.

The Madame DDoo's (matchmaker for the rich) are always calling here.

All the bride-prospects will come with at least three keys (house, car, office).

The uncle's family is also...

Her real parents are well off too though.

A mere cosmetic surgeon?

Since they have two sons, they'll just divide it in half.

You've never given grocery money to Soon Deok, right?

Right.

She said she's been earning money, so she's saved up quite a bit.

She's getting groceries daily.

And she buys flowers for me too. Do you think those things are just one or two small amount of money?

And things at the market are so expensive these days.

I didn't think of it.

And gift her some accessories and stuff too.

She's lived without any luxury all these years.

Even today, when I looked at her, her neck appeared so empty and boring that I gave her a necklace.

You did?

Hello?

I'm here at the subdivision.

My hand... is shaking.

Why is your hand shaking?

Did you drink alcohol?

A glass of cocktail.

I'll come down.

Okay.

Your right hand shakes?

Now that I think about it, I think it's a withdrawal symptom.

What withdrawal symptom?

Cigarettes?

No.

Since I used to see you all day long, but now I can't.

We saw each other this morning though.

I guess that wasn't enough.

What am I to do then?

I'm not getting tricked by you again.

I have a wish.

What kind of wish?

You're going to say something racy?

No!

I'm going to be super busy starting Monday, so let's go watch a movie.

It's too late for watching a movie though.

But I've never gone to see a late-night movie before.

And I have?

That's why we should go.

We'll only watch a movie. If we get hungry, then we'll just have a snack. If not, I'll bring you right back.

Are you tired?

But I came out without anything.

You're pretty! Pretty!

Since you have your phone, it's enough.

Alright.

Earlier during the day I stopped by home and told my mom, to inform my dad...

That we'd wait no matter how many years it takes. We'll have the ceremony when he will attend.

While we just date around.

And what did your mother say?

She's pretty stifled.

I think my father probably feels the same right now.

"I know my personality better than anyone else."

"But at this rate, it will be years before I have a grandchild to hold. " Is what he must be thinking.

"Meanwhile, everyone's just getting old."

It's nothing to be content about.

Don't say anything about your father like that.

From what I see, you two misters are alike.

I'm his son, so I'm sure there's a similar side.

But I'm going to be good to you (darling).

If you're bad, then I won't live with you.

Just don't complain that I'm a pest.

I'll guarantee this.

Da Mo won't last over a month before he gives everything up and comes back.

And if he does?

Want to bet?

Never mind.

Let's do.

How much?

You're a chebol, why would we bet with money?

Then?

Something else.

Something else what?

If I win,

then you cook and clean.

And if I win?

Acupressure.

Grow your hair long.

Until you die. Don't go to the salon the rest of your life.

How is that possible?

You have no confidence, I see.

Fine, let's do it.

If by August 6th, Da Mo's talk of marriage dissipates like a popped bubble,

then you're to grow your hair out continously, okay?

No, it'll take time to grow your hair out.

So wear a wig.

I like hair like Cleopatra.

You mean hair that comes down on the front?

Yup. Use that wig.

Then, instead of you cooking, Dear...

You use a wig too. The same kind.

Fine.

You're that confident?

The card is being read. Please proceed afterwards.

Ticket purchase unsuccessful. The card could not be processed. Would you like to try again?

Why didn't it work?

You don't have a different card?

Card is being read. Please proceed afterwards.

Ticket purchase unsuccessful. The card could not be processed. Would you like to try again?

Maybe the magnetic strip is damaged?

I should've brought my purse out.

Something's wrong.

Yes, I'd like to make an inquiry.

I can't make a charge to my card. I'm at the movies.

Yes, that's right.

Cancelled?

I didn't request the cancellation.

I understand.

Is something overdue?

Why?

Where's the ATM machine?

Let's just go. We can watch it tomorrow.

The card was inactivated for use.

Do you have enough gas?...

Plenty.

Wait for me for a little when we get to the subdivision.

I'll bring some cash out.

I've got cash inside the hotel safe.

Are you sure you ate a proper dinner?

I did.

Sa Ran said she's going to come back after watching a movie.

At this hour?

I suppose a late-night movie, then.

Probably then.

Why?

She says they're going to delay their wedding.

Sleep well.

It's probably nothing too serious.

Even if it is, it doesn't matter.

Text me once you get inside.

Wait...

I thought you went to see a movie.

The tickets were sold out.

So late at night?

Did they fight?

Who is it?

Your son.

Is father asleep?

Uh-huh.

Huh, why?

I have to ask him something.

He had a glass of alcohol.

And fell asleep.

Talk to him tomorrow, okay?

What happened?

Please sleep.

Let's go out for night snack.

I'll treat today.

I heard you got a lot of tip today.

Yup.

I'll just go to sleep.

You're not hungry?

It's bothersome to go out.

And sleeping is not bothersome?

It's the kitchen.

Hello?

Dan Se ssi.

The gas range handle fell off.

Would you be able to come and have a look?

The valve?

No.

No, the handle on the range.

Yes.

Why?

She says the gas range handle broke.

She tortures people into the night?

Wait. Oh Bong!

Let's go.

Why?

I think she's calling Dan Se ssi to come alone on purpose.

Please have some.

Yes.

Which one broke?

It's not broken.

I just didn't want all of them to come.

Don't you feel hungry?

Well, at this hour, of course a little.

Here.

Would you like a drink to accompany it?

No.

Just one drink.

So you can sleep easily.

Yes.

What might we be doing, at this late hour at night?

What do you mean late?

At a gisaeng house, it's the same as daytime.

I thought you came to fix the gas range.

But I see that you're eating some yummies instead.

Since we can't serve the leftover food to the guests tomorrow anyway.

And our mouths aren't mouths?

Since it was just a little bit left, it wouldn't be enough.

Just that since he fixed the handle...

I thought I should appease his hunger in return.

He fixed it so soon, you're saying? The box isn't open.

The box hasn't even been opened.

Oh, I'm gonna cry.

I, seriously!

We should be crying from the discriminated treatment.

I just knew it.

Move.

I think I'm gonna have myself a good slumber tonight.

I can't sleep on an empty stomach, right?

Me too.

Dan Se ssi, on the account of your health, stop eating it. Give the soup noodle here.

Give me!

When can I finally live life without seeing that oldie?

Da Mo came.

Right now?

Last night.

For good?

No.

I suppose he found out.

You came.

Yes.

Withdrawal suspension.

Did you have that ordered?

The cards and everything?

Yup.

Why?

Those are my inheritance, and some, my own earnings.

How much do you think you really earned?

All this time, what you actually spent was a whole lot more than what you earned.

Then the assets grandpa willed me?

Once you come back home, after finishing things with that girl...

then I'll lift the suspensions.

Dad.

Even in playing a ball game, you need fair play.

Chairman Ah of Eun Sung...

This isn't it.

I'm just as disappointed too. By you.

For your sake, is how I should live my life?

I did.

Do you think I didn't date because I didn't know how?

The college girls enamored with me and roaming around outside the front door for me... at least five!

That is how you chose to live your life.

Your judgment.

I have nothing else to say on that matter, so go.

Then what about what you said last time?

If the world were to throw stones at me because I'm gay, it's one thing if you were to get hit for me.

You won't allow me to get hit, you said.

If this issue was about you, then I'd get hit in your place.

But there's nothing wrong with you.

Because of the woman you're choosing, you're about to become criticized too.

You want me to sit and watch, as your father?

Please come eat.

If you're going through with a marriage like that, then you can't even spend a dime.

Grandma always said this.

'No person is beneath another. '

'And no person is above another. '.

Is a gisaeng someone who would spread you a disease?

You were born at Poongjo General Hospital.

Doctor Kim Ahm himself attended to your birth.

And told me, "It's a boy."

"Congratulations."

When he handed you to me to hold,

do you know how whole and blissful my heart was?

With eyes that looks just like mine...

As I watched you,

holding you,

I thought to myself, my son, I will surely,

raise him to be the best in the Republic of Korea.

I don't mean I wanted to make you the president of this country.

But in education,

and in sports,

I wanted to make you an outstanding person who is not lacking in anything.

And I wanted to match you with a good mate who is beautiful, wise and flawless in everything.

That decision...

That's what I've lived for.

In order to give you a great Eun Sung Distributions, founded by your grandpa,

I've worked hard to build the resort and various affiliated companies.

But you, as the son...

This is how you reward me?

The promise I made to myself.

I've kept all of it.

Father and I are different in our expectations.

What I wanted was your love.

An Eun Sung Group, with many affiliates wasn't what I wanted.

This is when one should use the saying, you give luxury and they fall into the piss pot.

You're saying I didn't love you?

Have you ever held my hand and taken me to go see a children's movie?

My friends bragged that they went to the snow sledge park or the baseball field with their dad.

They played basketball and they played baseball.

But me, not one thing.

Nothing to brag.

How can anyone be perfect in everything?

There's always something that needs to be given up.

Am I a God?

You should not have given up the affection for your child.

That was love and affection from me.

My method of it.

Do you take money with you when you die?

When I die, will I take Eun Sung Group with me?

I realized all of that is futile.

So, even though, I wanted to fulfil your expectations.

In the end, I chose my own happiness.

Since happiness for the child is happiness for the parents.

With that judgment, I went back to find Sa Ran again.

You don't want me to live happily?

Fine.

Get yourself a gisaeng wife with a pretty face, who can dance well.

And, live your trivial life watching her dance everyday.

If I were to marry based only on the terms,

without knowing what real happiness and joy are,

and end up severely ill, would you be happy?

Isn't what a parent want is to see their children healthy and raising a happy family?

I'm about to become severely ill. Me!

Just thinking about the fire inside me...

I thought, it would at least be a noodle bowl, if not a grand metal bowl.

But you're a man of nothing.

In the end, you are just using me as your excuse, to justify living a life that is satisfying to you.

What satisfication?

Your own sense of worth.

Someone, without ambition, like you.

Just living life filling trivial happiness... If everyone's like that,

then our nation wouldn't have developed this far.

Do you even know how many mouths are fed on the account of the Eun Sung your grandpa and I pulled?

Counting all the families of the employess then the number is gigantic, I'm sure.

You did mighty good work!

Meaningful and rewarding and happy. It's fine then, no?

You must feel full just looking at all the employees without having to actually eat.

If you would just accept Sa Ran as your daughter-in-law,

then I will work as hard as grandpa and you have.

And make Eun Sung a top 20 in the economic world.

I'll promise you.

And, the person that wags her tail along with you

is a gisaeng wife.

"Chairman Ah bragged about his son so much,"

"but he got himself a Buyonggak gisaeng daughter-in-law?"

Must you make me hear that?

So what if you hear it for the sake of your son?

I will not sit and watch others speak ill of my son!

Your stocks? I've settled it so you can't even claim a single share.

You're a beggar now (dirt poor).

Honey.

In the Bible,

it says not to make your children angry.

But that thing is angering his father.

It's okay to anger one's father, but not okay to anger the child?

The family's money... I wouldn't use any of it.

And inheritance from grandpa, I wouldn't use a penny.

I'll eat and live on my own effort, so don't worry.

Thank you for raising me without anything lacking in this great house up until now.

Da Mo!

What is this watch?

You bought it to commemorate me getting into college.

You forgot that too, didn't you?

I'll also leave the car here since I didn't buy it with money I earned myself.

I was going to have it towed here anyway, actually.

Dear, please!

The soup is a little bland, I think.

Bring some soysauce here.

Yes.

Da Mo...

I'm having him watched closely,

so don't even think about giving him money on your own.

You really don't know your son? He even took off his watch before he left.

Even if I try to give him money, he won't take it.

I need to change the pillow case.

Our great future son-in-law... he's not saying anything about coming to greet us?

We won't be marrying for quite some time, so what do you mean coming for greetings.

But you'll do it eventually anyway.

So isn't it the proper thing for him to come and show his face?

You should just listen to me and marry.

Once you give birth to a baby, they'll accept you for sure.

No parent can win over their child.

Are they some ordinary parents?

If they were ordinary parents acting so finicky,

then I'd tell you to break up with him, instead of trying to help you.

Maybe you should have us meet them, so I can open the door on the matter.

Can't we invite them?

He moved out from home.

Why?

Did he move out or was he kicked out?

Or, if he has no place to go, then have him come here.

Honey, phone call.

Yes!

Director.

Omo, Sa Ran! What brings you here?

So he moved out and... at the hotel?

Yes.

But it's not just a day or two. If he's okay with it, tell him to come and stay here.

That money is such a waste. No matter how rich his family is.

He says he's going to find a place to rent.

So how are things going? Do you think his father will change his mind in due time?

At the current state, I think it's going to be difficult.

Even if he seems like he would never change his mind,

upon the right opportunity, he could.

You did right by delaying things, instead of going along with his triumphant air.

You are thoughtful indeed.

Men get riled up easily and they are simple-minded.

So the woman needs to be wise and pull them along well,

instead of dancing to the man's tune.

I left here with so much commotion.

I'm sorry that I am unable to deliver any good news to you.

All that matter is that he ending to be good. Just the result.

But you probably can't afford to not work.

What is your plan?

That's why I'd like to discuss with you.

Could I come back here and teach dancing to the new girls,

and help out in the kitchen in between?

Of course you can come and teach dancing. But why would you do kitchen work?

Because I'd like to learn to cook.

I know how to make a few plain dishes, but not proper cuisine.

I think it would be good to learn it.

It's true.

If you are to spearhead a large corporation,

the wife should know how to make a few things.

If Da Mo ssi were to live here too,

wouldn't Chairman Ah be provoked and approve sooner?

It's true. That's possible.

Director, the room in the separate building is cleared.

Yes.

Ra Ra's mother is moving in.

Ra Ra's mother is?

Actually, she is the real owner of Buyonggak.

Omo, really?

She's the granddaughter of the deceased Mother Yooncho, from her maternal side.

But it seems Ra Ra isn't aware of it at all.

The mother wanted it kept a secret because she didn't want to be misunderstood.

But now that she's moving in, everyone will know.

Omo, you're here, Madame.

The director isn't here?... She's here. Please have a seat for a moment.

I'd like to get a few sets made.

Yes.

These are all Gwang Deok's family's?

Yup. Let's go.

Gwang Deok!

You're Gwang Deok? I can barely recognize you.

But you're just the same, Nuna. Same height too.

I wish I were taller by just 10 cm too.

Nuna, you're just perfect as is.

How is it good? I can't wear sneakers. Too embarrassing.

Think about when you're a grandma though. A tall grandma is so-so.

Come and eat some oriental melon. I grew these.

Of course. We should try the taste.

You farmed all these?

Of course.

You sure live life like a proper human being.

It sounds like I don't.

Do you have some inferiority complex? To think like that?

Well, no...

Woah, Nuna, your face is the size of a cockle.

Is there such an expression too?

Her hands are small too. Totally like a grade-schooler's.

I'm just gonna live like this.

Peel it well, so you can marry well.

But on that, Nuna, you must have a boyfriend.

Where!

What do you mean by that?

Nuna's too innocent, so she can't date some wolf.

I'm not innocent, okay?

But that's just your own opinion.

She knows nothing about the world. Only about making clothes.

I read this in a book.

If you do one thing earnestly and you become well-versed,

you're versed in everything.

Nuna, you're so intelligent.

She's good at cursing too. But only at me.

Saying what?

"Crazy jerk!"

Ack, seriously?

Just when he acts like a lunatic every now and then.

How... ? How?

Why do you ask for so much details? For a man.

Does he grab your hand?

If he did, then he'll die, of course.

Here, eat.

It's really very good.

I'll give you a box.

Crazy? Of course we should buy it. You toiled to grow these.

But you two... sure look like lovers. And you look so good together too.

You're doing it so well and so beautifully.

Even the friends who had dinner engagements said they would cancel, so they will all come.

Samo-nim (Madame). [ Da Mo's nickname ]

What about your car?

I left it.

I made this.

It must have been hardwork.

Not at all. I made it with a blissful heart.

My angelic miss.

But you said I was mean before.

I already ordered for us ahead of time.

I... may I re-enter Buyonggak?

Why?

To teach dance to the newbies.

But, actually my real goal... is to learn culinary skills from Manager Noh.

Mother Oh approved already.

That is hard work. It's heavy labor.

If I learn now, it may come in handy later on.

Then, just the works that aren't laborious and won't cut your hands or anything.

I promise.

To be honest, today...

I wonder if it's right for us to do our pledge ceremony.

What do you mean?

My father froze all my assets. Completely. Even my cards.

And that's why I left the car behind too.

How do those things concern our pledge ceremony?

For a while... I don't know how long, but I won't be able to treat you properly.

I won't be able to give you gifts when I want.

I won't be able to buy you yummy food, until I get paid.

After going through the cash I left home with,

it's only enough for rent on a studio and settle the hotel bill.

I'll buy tonight's dinner.

I have plenty for today's food.

But it's possible that it may really take two or three months, like you said before.

I'm poor now.

So, are you sure you are okay with making a pledge with me? That's what I mean.

How can you say such an impertinent thing?

What do you see me as?

It's just that I'm so upset,

because I wanted to treat you the best way possible.

You're not telling me to leave, right?

Since the circumstances have changed,

I honestly can't say I can cling onto you.

Speak more honestly.

You were chased out from your home because of me.

And you can't use your assets,

and you've gained yourself suffering which wasn't in your pillars.

Do you wish we were to end?

As long as you say yes... I want to marry you tomorrow if I could.

Like in dramas on TV, with a bowl of water, at some countryside church.

I just feel bad towards you and ashamed of myself.

I'm the one who is ashamed of myself. Things are like this because of me.

You really still like me, even though I am a poor man without money?

I totally like you. I told you, the money we can earn together.

We can take the subway instead of taxi,

and we can go to snack eateries instead of restaurant meals.

And clothes, we can just wear what we already have.

Let's just work hard together for a year,

and if your father still won't approve,

then let's marry.

Yes. For sure, okay?

Now I finally feel energetic.

I was really agonized about whether I should free you or not.

It's so hurtful to me that you would think such a thing.

You're going on a trip?

Yep, sit down.

Where to?

Buyonggak.

Ayyy, don't joke around.

Really.

I told them to get a room ready for me.

What are you going to do there?

Let's talk about it in a little bit.

Ohhh...

Hello.

You went together?

Yes. I have some acquaintance in Seongju too.

Oh, I see.

It's late, go.

Aunt isn't here?

Quick trip to the neighborhood president's place.

Actually...

the real owner of that place...

is me.

Impossible. How can Mom be the real owner there?

My maternal great-aunt was very fond of me and she willed it to me.

She was...

a famous Buyonggak gisaeng.

Since I have no joy left...

I wanted to return to your dad, but he says he's marrying some other woman.

And you're about to marry too.

So...

At first, I'll just wait and see.

And when I rile up enough confidence, I want to operate it.

Though that's just my own idea, for now.

A person needs work.

Or else I think I could end up depressed.

So...

Why don't you just get a dog instead?

You know I dislike furry animals.

Sa Ran was once there too, before she left.

Sa Ran was?

Gong Joo's back.

Oh...

Why the oriental melons?

She got it from there.

Gong Joo carried this here?

No, Sohn Ja did.

You went with Sohn Ja?

Well, Sohn Ja went to Gwang Deok's.

You remember his family is from Seongju?

This girl's lost her mind.

Where did you go with Sohn Ja, huh?

We've even lived under the same roof. What's wrong with going together?

Why didn't you tell me?

It's not a big deal, so why explain?

Talk to me straight.

Did you really go visit a friend?

You can call Gwang Deok's mom and ask her yourself.

Whether Sohn Ja came or not.

You, stop hanging around with Sohn Ja. Got it?

How? He's like my younger brother though.

You like younger brother, do you?

Just look at Sohn Ja's size.

Mom, you are seriously...!

Listen clearly, got it?

Your sister is going to marry Eun Sung Group's son, in the end.

That means your brother-in-law is the future chairman of Eun Sung.

So once your sister marries into that family,

you'll be able to choose and pick your groom-prospect.

Groom-prospects from mighty rich households!

That's just your wishful thinking, Mom.

You're his only sister-in-law. So, as your brother-in-law, he won't step forward to help you?

You told me he treats you well, didn't you?

Even if he were to do nothing,

you will have men coming from all directions.

Come eat some oriental melon. It's so sweet!

Why did you bring that out?

To give to you.

You asked for it, didn't you?

Later on. When we get married.

This is our pledge ceremony, so just accept everything in advance.

It's burdensome. I don't have any place to keep it safe.

Put it inside the safe or something.

Just put it on again for now.

It's beautiful.

A diamond would look beautiful on anyone.

It's not true.

Here.

I Love You.

Please marry me, for sure.

You've got me, so please be strong.

I feel so strong that I don't know what to do.

No matter what kind of a tackle comes in, you will not waver, okay?

What tackle is there left to come anyway?

When your father already gave you to me, telling me to take you to live with me.

When I get paid, you manage the paychecks.

Just spare me an allowance of $1,000 each time.

$1,000 each time?

Then... $500?

I'm going to do so great at Jae Hyang

that my father will end up pleading with me to return.

Nuna, your problems aren't just one or two.

What?

How can you always sleep when you're in the car?

Yesterday, you didn't wake up once the whole time, until we got to the rest stop.

I see.

You can laugh?

What am I suppose to do? When I get sleepy?

See what happens if you were to sleep like that in some other man's car.

They'll take you somewhere.

That's why I don't get in other people's car easily.

I only go in the car that you drive.

Huh? Then, I'm not a man?

Look at you.

What is the meaning of that laugh?

What is it?

You drink alcohol and you conk out. You get into the car and you conk out.

You sure make me so worried.

You're like a child left alone by the river.

Don't you worry. I take care of myself well.

You do twice as good and you'll...

Stop the nagging!

You're like a mother-in-law.

From what I see, you only look like a man.

You can still say that after you've touched my muscles?

It's because it's you that I keep my wolf nature controlled.

Oh yeah? You were wolf, were you?

And not a lion?

Oh... you're so mighty.

Nuna, if you keep that up, your nose is going to be hurt big time.

Hey, your nose is big.

Like a work of art.

Nuna, you really did grow up beautifully.

You've looked like a doll since you were little.

You think so?

But my nose got a little too bloated.

Right?

No, it looks natural and great.

Nuna...

we're here.

You're not Dan Gong Joo. You're Jahm* Gong Joo. [ *Jahm = Sleeping ]

Mr. Chairman, this way, please.

Long time no see.

Have you been well?

Hello.

Have a seat, everyone.

Please take off your jacket, Sir.

Yep. You, guys, take yours off, too.

Yes.

They say you're not supposed to tell the civil servants to take off their jackets, right?

Last time, when our resort in Hongcho opened...

you, guys, all came despite your busy schedules.

It was an honor to be invited.

Did you guys all sign a contract (with the resort)?

I'll sign as soon as my villa sells.

My maternal aunt signed a contract. For the one with the largest square footage.

I see.

No one among you is a married man, right?

This friend here is about to become a married man.

I see. When?

The Fall.

So, your good era is ending.

Through dating?

No, we were introduced.

I married through marital meetings too.

You're doing well.

She's the daughter of Myong Ae Art Center's president.

Thank you all, for coming here.

Can I tell you something that diasppointed me?

Yep.

Go ahead.

The day before you were scheduled to have your hair raised by CEO Ma.

Shouldn't you have come to our villa?

Even though I didn't say so?

How could I?

What becomes of Madame Oh then?

I created it.

But I go and turn it into a mess?

Listen, without misunderstanding.

Okay.

You know how on TV dramas... or movies.

Two lovers dated.

But the man is dirt poor.

So they had to break up because their marriage was disapproved.

But the day before her wedding, the woman goes to see her old lover.

And they spend a night together, before she goes on to marry the other man. I've seen that.

So you're saying...

Without misunderstanding.

So what you really wanted,

was that I would spend a night with you, then, proceed with the hair-raising?

Ack, I would've stopped you from going, no matter what, of course. Would I have let you go?

I'm just saying you can be such a scrooge.

Put your face out.

Is it a crime to speak the truth?

Out.

Once before...

you all went to Buyonggak?

Yes.

What do you all think?

Dan Sa Ran, you saw her, right?

Yes.

You all know the situation, right?

Yes.

Do you think it makes sense?

Da Mo seems to truly love her.

That's nothing amazing.

In one sentence, he's lost his mind.

I questioned my hearing.

You all help me out.

Director Heo.

Yes.

Don't have Da Mo go to you.

Tell him about me.

And fire him, saying you can't hire him.

That's what's best for your friend.

I understand.

The steak is delicious too.

Don't take off the ring, okay?

You just worry about not taking yours off.

Once Jae Hyang is not a posibility to him,

he'll go to the rest of you, one by one.

What will you do when he does?

We understand clearly what you're saying.

Actually we felt it was regrettable as well.

I never even imagined it.

That he'd make up his mind to marry a girl like her.

I thought it was rather romantic.

Romantic should end at dating. Marriage is reality.

Would people look at it as a marriage resulting from a healthy courtship?

They would regard it as him having entered a gisaeng house at a youthful age, which led to meeting her.

We understand.

Please don't worry.

We will join together to make it hard for him to last.

I will trust only you guys.

Just suffer a few years.

Even if it's not our Eun Sung,

I will surely succeed and have you enjoying everything you've ever wanted.
