Let me introduce myself.

Please call me Cho-sim.

You're no beauty. How come you're so ugly!

Are all the girls here ugly?

Hey, where is the manager?

Yes, sir?

Shall I get more wine?

Don't you have anyone that is pretty

and petite enough to fit into my arms?

Pardon?

What's wrong with her?

Are you saying that the darling of the house is ugly?

She is the darling of this house?

She is, sir.

I'm not coming back here again!

Hey, manager guy!

Yes, sir? What can I do for you?

A male gisaeng would be better. Get me a male gisaeng.

What?

Then I can just drink without caring about the gisaeng's face.

You know what I'm talking about, right?

Yes, sir.

Go and do it then!

Yes, sir.

Never seen such a customer in my ten years of working at a gisaeng house.

A male... A male...

Good heavens!

What about all the unpaid tabs? They're so carefree.

Hello.

Is that the cosmetics company?

May I speak to Mr. Heo?

Tell him it's Madam Yun.

Sir, it's Madam Yun on the phone.

Madam Yun? Tell her I’m out.

He's not here right now.

Actually put her on.

Hello? Please hold.

Heo speaking.

Hope you're doing well in this hot summer.

How sly of you! I thought you were out.

Don't take me the wrong way.

Have I ever shrugged you off?

How would I know how you feel about me?

It hasn't always been so sweet when you were here.

Nonsense!

That's where my heart is.

Hearing you say that makes me feel young again.

By the way, what about the tab from last time?

Don’t' worry. I'll be there again tonight.

Oh, really? I'll be waiting then.

Have I ever lied to you?

That woman is so tempting sometimes.

What are you looking at?

I see you're all working hard.

Good! Good!

What are you doing at the office?

Huh?

Come to my office.

10 won per a pair of socks?

Right.

I give a discount for bulk.

You're always causing trouble!

I won't take it anymore.

Repressing yourself too much is bad for you.

You have a pencil, don't you?

Write a letter of resignation.

All right.

It's for yourself.

You're joking, aren't you?

I'm serious. Go on!

Your joke isn't that funny.

Just stamp it with your personal seal.

I only have my thumb stamp.

Going home already?

Yes, but I'm going home forever.

Going home forever?

Looks like it!

Let go and have something cool to drink.

Hey, stop with all that women's work!

So what are you going to do now?

Help me find a good job.

How can I when you have a thing for women's work?

Forget it then. How is it going for you these days?

Not bad. I make enough to get by.

Oh, look at the time.

Let's get going.

Hey, girl, looking for love

Change your mind a little

Hey, hey

I'm a hot rocker now

Looking at you like this, you've aged quite a bit.

I drank my youth away with all the wine.

All I have left are wrinkles. I'm no fun, right?

Shall I bring in some young girls?

Forget it.

I'm sick of immature girls.

I'm too old for you.

Young girls are too immature for you.

Who could possibly please you?

European style?

You should know by now.

Don't make me go somewhere else.

Geez! Are you going to upset me too?

You know what to do.

I feel so down these days.

Stop!

Hey, don't you have a dancer?

No?

Stop the music if you don't.

A dancer?

No problem!

Where are they going to get a dancer from?

Good, good, good!

Hey, put that away.

Stop it, Mister!

Oh, stop it.

What? So you don't want to be in my arms?

I may be a gisaeng, but don't take me for a plaything.

Mae-hwa!

A gisaeng should know her place!

A gisaeng is still a person!

I'm not just some doll for a customer to play with.

Are you going to play hard to get?

Please calm down and have a drink.

I'm not in the mood for one.

Come here!

What?

How dare you push me?

Why, I should...

Don’t act so reckless!

What did you say?

Hey! Where is the manager?

Yes, sir!

Did you call for me?

Hey, Manager!

How can a gisaeng be so brazen?

Listen, mister! Mind your hands!

Why, look at her...

Hey, Mae-hwa.

Put on a smile and sit down. Come on.

Who would want to be with a jerk like that?

What? Mae-hwa, come over here right now!

- Hey, Manager! - Yes, sir.

I won't pay the bill unless you get her back.

Geez!

You're joking, aren't you?

Bring her right now!

Don't worry. I'll go and get her.

This is ruining all the fun!

Mae-hwa!

Mae-hwa!

- What? - I need to talk to you.

We need to talk.

You've made things really hard for me. I'm the general manager.

That's none of my concern.

Do you know that jerk did?

Did he gobble you up?

He calls for me every night and fondles me all he wants.

Then he never tips me. Not even a cent.

Tip or not, a customer is still a customer.

We work in the service industry.

You should know that good service comes before money.

I wouldn't know.

I'm here to earn money, not to please your customers.

All you care about is money.

I want you to leave.

Got it?

Go!

This is ridiculous.

Other places will line up to have me.

Fine. I'll go.

Hey, Mae-hwa!

I didn't mean what I said.

Forget it! Good bye.

Hey, Mae-hwa! Mae-hwa! It was all a joke!

Mae-hwa! Mae-hwa!

How come she's leaving this early?

Hey!

Mae-hwa!

Hey! Manager!

Yes?

Why is Mae-hwa leaving this early?

As the manager of this place, I fired her.

What?

It was a bold move for the sake of our business.

We need to talk.

You fired her without my permission? What got into you?

I think I was suffering from high blood pressure.

High blood pressure or not,

you know how popular she is with the customers.

Didn't you know that?

I did.

- But... - Enough talk.

Run out and get her. If not, find a gisaeng as good as her.

You're being mean.

Where am I going to find one at this time of the night?

If you can't, then you don't deserve to be our manager.

Then at least, give me until tomorrow morning.

You have until tomorrow. After then I expect you to leave.

All right.

Pung-san, you are in a tough spot.

- You heard? - Yes.

Do-jin, talk to all your friends and help me.

But it'll be hard to find a gisaeng as good as Mae-hwa.

True enough.

Oh! Hey...

Good idea!

Hey, come and eat!

All right! All right!

Nobody's going to steal your food, girl.

You'll choke! Slow down!

It's only a few spoonfuls. What's there to slow down?

Here. Have some of mine.

Thank you, big bro!

Don't be too down just because you lost your job.

Why would I feel down when I've got you?

You'll have it easy when I make it as a Taekwondo coach.

I'm serious!

Don't worry about me. Just learn to act like a woman.

Everything will be good once I get married.

Stop getting into fights with other people.

They are always asking for trouble!

Oh, all right.

Geez! Why doesn't she do the laundry herself?

Oh, you're home!

Hello. What brings you here so early in the morning?

Tae-ho, I need to talk to you.

- Do you have some good news? - I do.

Pung-san is in a spot, and we should help him as friends.

Well, I really can't say no to a friend.

Staying home won't do you any good. You need to make money.

Making money is all very good, but this is embarrassing.

Who cares?

But how can a man be...

So how old are you, Miss Ku?

I'm twenty-five.

That's a perfect age.

Still young as a flower.

Indeed.

A lovely age indeed.

All right.

You must work hard and be attentive to the customers.

Of course.

Here is an advance. Go and get a few dresses tailored.

Tae-ho! I mean Tae-suk...

Take it.

I don't know what to say.

- Manager! - Yes, ma'am.

Send Miss Ku to a picky customer tonight.

All right.

Please excuse us then. Let's go.

Let's go.

Later, then.

Excuse me.

- Hey, you go and wait. - Okay.

I'm new. Call me San-wol.

Hey, Hong-do. Look at her.

She sure looks burly. Just like a man.

She is so ugly.

But she has a peculiar charm.

My youth is gone after ten years of this nightlife!

Want a smoke?

No thank you, I don’t smoke.

You must be new to this.

It's only been a few days.

- What's your name? - Yeong-shim.

That's not your real name, right?

My real name is Jeong-mi.

I see. Just call me "sis."

Okay.

Welcome, sir!

Welcome, sir!

Welcome, sir!

Come and greet the customers!

- Hello, sir. - Manager!

Teas taste best in a cup, and lovers feel best in the arms.

Right on!

San-wol, I feel that we have a connection.

I think I like you too.

Oh, my shoulder!

Oops, I hit too hard. What have I done?

It's okay. It's nothing.

You're so nice! I find you adorable!

What's gotten into me? It's just that you drive me crazy.

Why, I should just...

San-wol, you have a phone call.

Okay.

Please excuse me.

Hey, San-wol! Where are you going?

Sir! Sir!

I'll bring in the new girl.

- New? - Yes.

All right.

Come in, San-wol.

Please call me San-wol.

You look familiar.

Where have I seen you before?

I've been around for ten years, so you might have seen me somewhere.

You're quite a lady-killer.

That's not it.

I know!

My unforgettable first love.

She's just like her.

- San-wol, is it? - Yes.

Come and sit over here.

- Take a seat. - Come over here.

All right.

Hey, Manager!

Bring back San-wol!

It was when I was a student. We fell in love.

But it didn't work out.

Oh, but why?

Our parents didn’t approve.

In the end, she married another man.

Oh, such a tragic love story!

Would you excuse me for a moment?

Where have you been?

I was out for only a minute. Don't be such a baby about it.

Drinking is no fun without you.

Why, you! Have a drink!

That's more like it.

Excuse me for just a moment.

San-wol, she looked just like you.

Oh, aren't you sweet! Have another drink.

We're all out. Let me get some more wine.

San-wol! Are you really going to treat me like this?

I thought you were her at first glance.

San-wol, I'm falling for you.

Let me love you, San-wol.

This is very ungentlemanly!

- San-wol! - It's embarrassing.

San-wol!

Let go of me!

There are you, San-wol!

Come to me right now.

Mr. Doh!

Oh, if it isn't Mr. Heo!

Are you trying to steal my girl?

How dare you?

San-wol is my first love.

- Your first love? - That's right.

Don't seduce her with that first love bullshit!

Mr. Doh!

- Trying to get me worked up? - Calm down!

You're the one obstructing my affair of the heart!

What?

- Look, buddy! - What?

Oh, my head!

Ridiculous!

Oh, I'm so drunk!

I'm so worn out.

Are you two lovers? Sticking together like that?

May be...

How much did you make, sis?

Count it.

You've made so much.

I got a miserly old geezer and this is all I got.

- You raked it in! - Look at her!

You made so much, sis!

That's so much. She's really good.

Girls, get some sleep.

Go to sleep, sis.

Get some sleep.

Honey!

Yes?

You put your arms down when I was gone!

No, why would I? This pillow isn't heavy at all.

How many times do I have to punish you?

Please let me stop now.

Keep them up! Do it!

All right.

Let's be honest with each other.

Where were you last night?

How many times do I have to tell you?

Mr. Doh's brother-in-law fell from a plane,

got run over and died. That's where I spent the night.

Why did he get run over if he fell from a plane?

He missed his step boarding the plane and fell.

By chance, there was a truck passing by and it ran over him!

Outrageous! Everything you say is a lie.

- Put your arms up! - All right.

Honey, it may sound like a lie, but please trust me.

Dear Heavenly Father...

This is outrageous!

Let's just say you were at a wake like you say,

why was your shirt all torn?

You know me.

I take off my clothes when I sleep.

If you stayed up all night at a wake, why were you undressed?

Oh! Right!

See? Let me see your tongue.

Doesn't your tongue tickle from all the lies?

No.

Honey, please let me off just this once.

I don't want to hear it!

Ma'am, you have a guest.

Your son has brought a lady with him.

Really?

We'll be right down.

- Hurry up and get dressed. - All right.

Dong-il, you saved my life!

Mom, this is Miss Ku Tae-suk. I've told you about her.

- Hello, I'm Ku Tae-suk. - How are you?

Hello.

You seem very high-spirited. I like that.

Geez, honey.

Take a seat. I'll get some drinks.

Get us some coffee.

Make it good.

Take a seat.

What happened to your face, Father?

I got dumped on the street.

If I'd been there, I would have beat him up good.

What?

I have a belt in Taekwondo and Judo.

Don't worry, Father. She won't hit you.

- Dong-il! - Yes?

So you have feelings for...

May be.

Forget it.

You'll end up like me... No...

What are you talking about?

Nothing.

It's nothing.

Tae-ho, when I first saw you,

I noticed you had big hands and Adam's apple on your neck.

I see.

But I didn't want to tell.

Why not?

I'm sure you have a good reason for disguising yourself.

And I didn’t want to get in the way.

Thank you.

Why would a man want to be a gisaeng?

It was all a joke at first.

And things just flowed on from there.

But I don't regret it.

I want to be a warning to the men who neglect their families

and frequent those places.

What about you, Jeong-mi?

My mother is ill.

I also have to send my younger siblings to school.

What about your father?

His business went bankrupt and he...

What about school for yourself?

I left college in my second year.

I didn't want to keep studying anyway.

You're too precious to be working at a place like that.

Am I really?

Let me know if you run into difficulties.

Only if I can help in any way.

- Shall we walk for a bit? - All right.

Do you come here for a stroll sometimes?

- It's my first time. - Me too.

Hey, buddy! You're having all the fun on this fine day!

The lady is a real beauty.

A fine catch!

Let's not get physical. Let's get musical.

Really? Why not?

Do-re-mi-fa-so-la-ti-do.

Are you all right, Tae-ho?

A man can only take so much!

I'll teach you a lesson.

Oh, my!

Tae-ho!

Tae-ho!

Tae-ho!

Tae-ho!

Hey! Stop it right there!

Oh, Tae-suk!

Oh, Man!

- What do we have here? - Hey!

What do you think you're doing?

This is entertaining.

Who the heck are you?

You want a piece...

Yikes!

Why, I should just...

Such a weakling!

See that, Bro? Not bad, huh?

That's my little sister!

But don't you ever do that to your man.

Of course not.

- Hello, waiter! - Yes?

- One more hamburger steak, please. - Sure.

Act like a girl.

We're all friends here. Isn't that right, Jeong-mi?

Right. No need to be pretentious.

See?

My future sister-in-law is the best!

How do you know whether she'll be your sister-in-law or not?

I know these things.

What about you two, then?

So shy and girlish!

Tae-ho, it's time to go.

Are you off to your part-time jobs?

Yes, but you guys stay and eat.

- I'm getting the check. - See you later.

- Bye, then. - Bye.

Isn't my brother great?

Yes, but his girlfriend is even better.

What?

Sorry! Sorry!

Anyway I have my eye on San-wol

so you make sure that nobody lays a finger on her.

If I do that for you, what's in it for me?

The gisaeng house?

Okay.

I'll do my best.

How did you end up in a place like this, San-wol?

Fate played a trick on me.

I just wanted to live a plain life.

But here I am, selling wine and selling my smiles.

What girl would like this kind of life?

All women want to live a happy life as a good wife and mother.

I used to be innocent once.

It happened ten years ago.

A college student came into my heart.

I fell in love with him.

We made plans for our future together.

So I gave him my everything.

But I was betrayed.

It all came to an end.

Hey, give me a cigarette.

Do we have many customers today?

Be careful about your voice, man!

- Go to room 15. - Who's in there?

Your regular.

Drunk men have hassled me

Rich men have looked down on me

With my tired body on a rickshaw late at night

Tears running down my cheeks

Working as a gisaeng, how I resent this humble job

We're done, sir.

You should tip them.

Mr. Heo, you're a real man.

Oh, it's nothing.

- Here. - Oh.

Thank you.

- San-wol! - Yes?

How about we stay together tonight?

I'm a working girl, but still we can't jump all the stops and go to the end.

Oh, you're right.

Then shall we meet tomorrow?

I don't have anything to wear.

Really? Then get some tailored.

This should be enough for a mini-skirt.

- I don’t have any shoes. - Shoes?

Here.

Oh, I feel bad.

It's okay.

I feel so carefree coming out here. It's been so long.

I'm so happy.

I feel like a little girl.

What if somebody sees us!

Oh, the beautiful scenery!

Oh, the distant horizon!

If I were a poet, I would recite a poem.

Oh, the beautiful moonlit night! Oh, the sky!

Hey, look over there!

Oh, the moonlit sky!

Where is the moonlit sky?

I'm just pretending it's night.

Anyway it's beautiful scenery!

Symbols of nature!

Don't be silly. Let's go.

Miss Ku!

Miss Ku!

Here is your room.

I do love you

Let's go in.

Go on.

San-wol!

It's a really romantic night.

Being romantic is all very good. But I had to skip work tonight.

How much do you make a night?

I'll give it to you instead.

Here.

I feel so bad every time.

Money doesn't matter on a night like this.

Why don't you get undressed?

I will.

Take off your clothes and let's take a bath.

Just what I wanted to hear.

I do love you

I do love you

Sam-wol, get undressed and let's get in the tub.

I do love you

I do love you

You go first.

I'll be there soon.

Feeling shy, are you?

I'll go in first, come and join me soon.

iI do love you

San-wol, what are you doing? Hurry up!

You'll regret it.

What are you doing?

Come inside now!

Come here. You'll regret it otherwise.

I do love you

You'll be done for by your wife!

San-wol, what are you doing? Hurry up!

What are you doing?

What?

Oh, I'm done for!

This is so embarrassing.

She tricked me good.

Who's there?

A female thief!

Come out here!

Get up, you wench!

Honey, it's me. Your husband.

Oh, dear! What's going on?

Are you all right?

This is nothing compared to the beating I get every day.

Look at yourself!

This dress for you looks great, doesn't it?

What?

Look now.

Stop rambling and tell me the truth.

Whose dress is this?

Tell me the truth!

Calm down. A friend ran off with my clothes.

So I borrowed his wife's dress.

Lucky that you didn't have to come home naked.

You know what you're in for, right?

How can you do this to your husband?

- Don't you dare say that! - Okay.

Mom!

You stay out of this!

It's not democratic to just punish Dad

without any proof.

You must find proof and make him stop for good.

I'm not going to follow him everywhere and snoop.

Then get a private eye.

A private eye?

Are you trying to ruin our family?

Mom, I have a great idea.

A great idea?

I'll do the snooping, then you can pay me instead.

You just want some pocket money from me!

You got me!

Oh, you!

You don't have to, you know.

I will do it.

It’s a deal then.

All right.

I think you're getting the better end of this deal.

- Honey! - Yes.

Don't be startled.

It's all right now. Let's put it down.

Thank you.

Honey, do your arms hurt?

Of course, they do.

I'm sorry.

You're sorry?

Look at me!

You shouldn't make me feel so ashamed.

Make sure it doesn't happen again.

And please get ready for work now.

How dare you push me around like that?

Don't just stand there. Go and get my new suit!

Are you raising your voice, now that I'm nice to you?

No, no. I wasn’t serious.

I'm sorry.

Good morning, sir.

Don't mind me. Keep working.

Why are you giggling?

The bandages on your face look very artistic.

Is that so?

Picasso would be in awe.

How am I going to get that San-wol?

Have you seen Jeong-mi? I mean Yeong-shim.

She's in the VIP room.

Hey, Yeong-shim, come and sit on my lap.

Oh, you!

Come on!

Other people are looking! Show some manners.

What's with her?

Hey, we're in a gisaeng house. To hell with manners!

- It's all good. - Please stop.

Let go of me! Stop it please.

Yeong-shim, you have a phone call.

Got it! Excuse me.

Hey, where are you going?

Sir, she's not the only gisaeng of this house.

How about me? I'm San-wol.

You give me the creeps.

Stop being so rude.

I'll have you know that I'm the most popular gisaeng here.

Don't be ridiculous! You give me the creeps!

I'll have you know that I'm an expert at dancing and playing the gayageum.

Go ahead and dance then.

Then play the gayageum over there.

Fine. Just watch me.

Sing us a song while you're at it!

Great!

Don't you worry.

Keep teasing me and I might even dance!

Are you here to show off your money

Your home is out of rice and coal briquettes

Yet you splurge money on booze and women

Hey, buddies, open your eyes and see

If you have money to waste

Buy some clothes for your wife and kids

Dance for us!

How pathetic you are

You are all so pathetic

We make a living out of you

But do something for your country

Yep-di-dah

You are all so pathetic

- Have a drink. - Come and drink.

Here, have a drink.

Welcome, sir.

- We've been waiting for you. - Whatever!

Which girl should I call?

Isn't it obvious? I'm here to teach San-wol a lesson!

I see.

Oh, so it's you!

You, wench! How could you?

You're mad at me over what happened last night.

Don't get mad over nothing. You're embarrassing me.

Shut up! You planned to run away the whole time!

My grandfather was tailing me last night.

Don't lie to me!

How humiliating!

You look down on me because of what I do!

Why are you crying?

You're right. You're right.

Forget it!

I'm a street flower anyway.

Hey, bring us some wine!

I'm so humiliated!

I want to get drunk tonight.

Welcome!

Got you!

Hello.

Is that you, Dong-il?

What?

Really?

Okay, I'll be there right away.

Okay.

Welcome.

San-wol, if you run away again, I'll kill you.

Why would I run away? I have a home to go to.

I have a bad feeling. May be my grandfather will come again.

Hey, San-wol!

If you run away from me, you'll fall ill before you get anywhere.

Just going to the bathroom! Give me a break!

Let me come with you!

- I'm sorry! - Sorry!

I'm sorry.

Not a problem.

Sorry...

Excuse me.

What?

I knew it! My San-wol wouldn't leave me.

Come and lie down here.

Why, you!

San-wol, come and lie down.

Your skin is softer than my wife's.

San-wol is hitting me! Bring it on!

Can you tell who I am?

Answer me!

Can you tell or not?

My wife! Greetings, your highness!

Tae-ho, are you going to keep working as a gisaeng?

I'm going to quit.

You've learned a lot about life there, didn't you?

I've learned that a man must be faithful to his family.

You will be a faithful man when you get married.

We'll see.

What are you going to do, Jeong-mi?

I've thought about it a lot. I think I should quit too.

Good idea.

I have a small saving.

With that money, I want to open up a little store.

I want to help you if I can.

Thank you, Tae-ho.

Let's stay true and faithful to each other, okay?

Jeong-mi!

Anyone out there?

Open up!

I'm starving!

If you won’t let me out, give me some rice!

If not rice, then some bread!

If not food, then freedom!

Freedom...

Please forgive me, honey.

We, housewives shouldn't overlook our husbands' misdeeds.

Let's go to a gisaeng house and find out why our men go there.

There must be a reason why they fool around.

May be they offer better services than we do,

or they are prettier than us.

That's why we should visit one.

If we offer better services

then our husbands won't cheat on us.

It's no use.

The men think it's their privilege to cheat.

How can we change that?

We shouldn't give up.

To protect our family values, we must beat the working girls,

and teach our men a lesson.

Let's go.

Welcome!

Welcome!

We want to have a drink. Get us a nice cool room.

Please go up.

We have some formidable guests.

Brace yourselves and give the best service.

Formidable guests?

You'll see in a second.

Nan-cho, San-wol, Cho-sim, Jeong-mi. The four of you, go!

You all look so alluring!

How come this one looks so stocky like a man?

- Right! - I'm sorry.

No need to be sorry.

It's good that you're so burly.

Thank you.

San-wol, right?

Do you know why we are here today, San-wol?

To drink, I guess.

We are here to learn.

We want to know what you girls do

that make our men frequent this place.

Really?

I'll explain it to you, on behalf of everyone here.

Good. Just pretend that we are men.

Show it to us.

Mr. Heo!

What? Mr. Heo?

I'm just saying.

All right.

I don't know why, but I'm so attracted to you.

Then what?

Your lips.

Your forehead.

This is it!

That's how you make them all for you.

You're the best, Mr. Heo.

Let's go on a date tonight.

Good. Good.

So that's why the men spend the night away from home.

The way to a man's heart is,

firstly, affection, secondly affection, thirdly affection, fourthly affection.

Okay, I get it.

Thank you for everything you've done for me tonight.

It's not much but...

Thank you.

San-wol and Yeong-shim are like two peas in pod these days.

We are lesbians. So there!

Lesbians?

You'll get in trouble with the pimp!

This is my last night here.

What do you mean?

I hooked up with a rich old man.

Are you for real?

Yeong-sim is going to quit with me too.

- Is that true, Yeong-sim? - Yes.

No more nightlife for us.

I've shed so many tears.

Honey!

Honey!

Hungry, honey? You haven't eaten all day.

Honey.

The hunger strike has made me think.

I regret my ways.

Are really a different man now?

I'll never go to a gisaeng house again. I'll be good to you.

So please give me some food.

Of course, my darling husband!

But honey!

Sign this oath before you change your mind.

Let me eat first.

No please sign it first.

Let me eat first, then I will sign it.

No!

The heartless tiger...

What did you just call me?

Nothing... A tiger...

Thank you. Please come again.

- Jeong-mi! - Tae-ho!

- How is business today? - Pretty good.

How about you?

I sold about half.

We're having a good day. Let me buy you lunch.

It's okay. I should get back to work.

- I'll come by later. - Okay.

Hang on!

Give me a break, sir!

No!

San-wol hasn't worked here for a month.

So I'll wait here till she comes back.

I'll get my money back.

I've poured so much into her pocket.

Geez! This is crazy!

Sir, please! Give me a break.

I said no!

Is anyone here?

What do you have there?

I have some cosmetic products for you.

- Cosmetics? - Hey, he's selling cosmetics.

You look familiar. Who are you?

Have you seen me before?

Don't you have a sister called San-wol who works as a gisaeng?

I don't have any sisters like that.

But you look just like her.

Are these genuine products?

Of course, they are genuine!

- What's going on? - Ma'am!

Hello, Madam Yun!

Who is this?

As you can see, I'm San-wol.

- What? - You're San-wol?

What's going on here?

Oh, my goodness!

Mr. Heo! We've finally found San-wol.

What? You found her?

Let me see her!

Where is San-wol?

Where is she?

Can't you tell? Right here!

How have you been?

Stop pulling my leg!

Didn't you use to work for me?

I did. I'm Ku Tae-ho.

And San-wol at the same time.

What? San-wol?

I see what happened!

Why, you!

Why are you crying?

Madam Yun! Mr. Heo!

If you really want to know I will tell you

why I had to dress up as a girl and act as San-wol.

Hey, stop with tear jerker nonsense!

Stop crying and tell us.

I can't help my tears from falling.

My grandparents were dismayed and passed away at the same time,

when they found out Mr. Heo fired me and I became unemployed.

I couldn't afford a funeral, so I buried them in a public cemetery in home-made coffins...

I was determined to make money no matter what.

All right. I get what happened.

Hey.

I didn't know you had such a tragic past!

Hey.

Take it.

Just give me back ten cents for the bus fare.

Don't get stingy over just ten cents.

Even his lies are heart wrenching!

Give it here!

- Honey, what are you doing? - Coming!

All done!

I swear that I will come straight home without straying after work.

You've become a great husband.

You can stop with that oath.

I was a moron.

Fooling around when I had such a beautiful wife at home!

It's time for you to leave for work.

You're right.

- Oh, honey! - Yes?

Don't forget the dinner with Dong-il.

That's right. You're coming also, aren't you?

Of course.

Oh, I almost forgot!

This is great!

- Honey, watch out for cars! - Okay.

So you're meeting with his family today?

Both his parents are coming.

I should meet with them sooner or later. I guess I'll go.

Do I look like a proper girl now, Bro?

You look like Cleopatra.

How come they are not here yet?

If they don’t come, we can eat it all.

Oh, come on.

There they are.

They are over there.

How have you been?

Good. Hello.

Huh? What is he doing here?

This is my elder brother.

Really?

I've seen him before.

What are you doing over here?

Let's just go home.

What's wrong?

Ku Tae-ho! Come over here!

Why do I keep getting mixed up with a no-good like you?

You know what I mean, right?

Honey! Do you know this man?

Nothing that concerns you, darling.

Huh?

I'm sorry.

There is no need!

You are I in-laws now.

Are you still selling cosmetics door to door?

Yes.

You can quit that and return to my company.

Do you mean that?

A man with such determination and diligence should be a manager.

You're making me a manager?

Don't get so excited!

Hey, there! Mr. Sales Manager!

One strike! No ball!

What are you doing during office hours?

I'm sorry.

A manager should set an example at work.

That's no work for a man.

I feel ashamed.

I'd fire you if you weren't my in-law.

Get your act together now!

I will change my ways.

Tae-ho!

Jeong-mi!

I went to the office and they told me you'd be here.

What brings you here?

I was supposed to bring you packed lunch starting today.

That's right.

My sister got married so now it's our turn.

That's right, Tae-ho.

I love you, Jeong-mi.

I love you too.

Please don't do any more knitting from now.

All right.

Who did this?

What's going on?

Sorry, my dear in-law!

The End
