As you live, will you be able to hear it

At some point, the song of the wind

Was Gun Woo too harsh?

I love you, Mom.

I love you, Dad.

I love you, world!

I love you, Geum!

I love you!

I love you, Grandmother!

I love you, Grandfather!

To our ancestors, I love you all!

I really, really love you!

I love you!

Thank you!

Over there... is there someone there?

I'm the spirit of the mountain.

Oh, I see.

Spirit, thank you, too!

What, what are you doing there?

That's a question I should be asking.

Kim Yook, my grandfather.

And Kim Hwan, my father.

The grandson and son has come after a long while to pick weeds.

Why?

Because of my grandfather's works that only became famous after he died,

I'm living and eating well.

I came to bow.

Why?

Why are you going around bowing to my grandfather and father?

After being chased out by Kang Gun Woo, I went crazy.

Isn't it worth getting insane over?

I felt like I was going crazy but there was no one I could complain to.

And I thought my mom and grandma's graves weren't enough.

So here and there I said, "Thank you, I love you, from now on look upon my life favorably."

I was in the middle of sucking up to them!

You're pretty.

I didn't know it all this time, but...

You're pretty, ahjumma.

Have strength, Soon Geum.

The results of the Hiro Fund are coming in.

And from the very first day, it's no joke.

Keep an eye on the stocks and check it every hour.

No, do it every thirty minutes.

If it reaches 10,000,000,000 won before the end of the day.

I'll treat you all to dinner tonight!

The administration of the Hiro Fund, hand it over to me.

Assess the situation before you say that.

Today's only your first day.

You gave me your son, but you can't even give me the Fund you're launching today?

The Hiro Fund is a entrusted with a trillion won.

A trillion.

A trillion.

Not 100 million, a trillion.

Do you even know what a trillion is?

Between mung beans, peas, and cowpeas,

and wheats like barley, millet, and brown rice,

what's the smallest one?

What's the ugliest?

The sturdiest? Or the softest?

You can't even differentiate between the grains in multi-grain rice, and you want what?

Hey, do they teach you in New York to dive in head-first without knowing anything?

Do they?

I want to eat the rice that has a trillion in it.

What did you eat to become like this?

Why did you get rid of the human?

Because I want to become like you, Father.

Like you.

No.

Now I'm going to live more like you than even you do.

Look forward to it.

Like me?

This was here?

Ahjumma? Some tea.

Yes, Madam.

He says it's all over, why are you still doing this?

Do you think all you need to do is look good to his mother?

What's there not to do?

Both his mother and father say they want to live with me.

And Choi Jin doesn't dislike me either.

What?

How hateful.

That little...

That mistress has terrible manners!

All mistresses are like that.

I knew it would turn out this way.

Oh my goodness, how despicable.

Ahjumma?

Sugar.

I need to go to the bathroom.

That's all going to be revealed later, don't you think so?

You reap what you sow.

Oh my... your pearl is as big as a grape!

Mine's so tiny.

But Chi Gook does treat you the best, right?

Oh my, oh my, oh my!

This is very strange!

Did this grow in the water during that time?

It was definitely tiny!

Should we trade rings?

Clean this up, ahjumma.

Yes.

Hyung-nim.

Hyung-nim, let's trade!

Hyun Joo!

Am I one third?

Whether it be Little Madam or Big Madam, you can't give either of them up, right?

How could you buy three of the same ring?

And give it to women who live in the same house!

Why don't you set up a jeweler's shop?

Hyun Joo, they're, how do you say...

It's not love, but friendship!

Although we live together, it's because of friendship.

Then you call this love between us?

Is there something we shouldn't have done?

Hands... we held hands that day.

Then we should continue holding hands and being friendly.

Am I a child?

To always play around.

Kim Young hee is out, he's not here.

The mother-in-law's arrived.

Who is she to do this?

What's with her?

What, what, what...?

Why are you shocked?

What did you buy that you're so shocked?

Did you get it?

Did you lose it?

Did it rise?

Did it fall?

I came because I heard it reached 30,000,000 won.

When a homemaker appears at the stock firm carrying her kid, it's an indication of struggle.

It means the stock price reached its peak value.

I'm going to have to sell it.

What is this smell?

I went to Grandpa and Dad's graves today.

Judging from your face, must be dropping.

Where? Where?

Hey, yours is dropping and mine's rising!

You're screwed for today.

You're going to have to cook porridge today.

Hyung...

What?

Have you ever bought porridge outside?

Yeah.

Porridge is more expensive than ramen.

Wait... sorry.

Hello.

Oh, I'll introduce you.

He's a hyung who lazes about town.

He's a hyung who doesn't have much to do.

Clean off the ramen soup, hyung.

Dawdling about while selling grandfather's paintings to live...

Says the kid who met a great father and never earned a cent in his thirty years of life!

I met No Soon Geum.

She wasn't in her right mind.

Put bluntly, between the grandma who was suddenly fired by the trophy wife,

and No Soon Geum who was suddenly fired by you as if she was a criminal,

what's the difference?

In other words, you and the trophy wife are the same.

I'll acknowledge that neither of us have manners.

Neither of us have compassion, understanding.

And have terrible luck.

If you feel that sorry for her,

you, with great compassion, understanding and luck, should hire her to your household.

What? Then what about Da Kyum?

She's good at taking care of the house. If that unni's not around I'll have a hard time.

But why did you come?

I didn't come here to see you.

I'm hungry.

Grandmother.

What "Grandmother?"

Ahjumma...

Oh no! Oh no, oh no!

What do I do?

What is this?

Madam, could you pick up that egg over there?

Go flaunt your wealth, then...

You need to roll around in a field of crap in hell to realize the value of eggs.

Since when has she been called "Madam?"

Did you... just hit me?

Am I your friend?

Do you think I came to this neighborhood to pick up eggs that a maid has dropped?

Working at another's house, you should know your place.

Where are you ordering?

Who are you ordering?

How dare you order me to do this or that?

Do you take me lightly?

Oh, is that so?

I've been waiting for someone to hit me today.

Well then, hit me.

Hit me!

Hit me!

Hit me, hit me!

You little...

Is your situation any better?

If people find out that you're the fourth or fifth wife,

you won't be able to go around with your head raised.

Do you think we call you "Madam" because we like you?

Then what about you?

How many times have you been someone else's maid?

Ten families? Twenty?

You should be proud!

I am proud, I'm proud!

At least I don't find my way to a man's bed eyeing his money!

What did you say?

Hey, what's the point of working and living in another's house your entire life?

You can't even feed your own kids!

That's right, bitch!

That's why I've become the way I am now!

Hey, you...

Say it with words! With words!

Why are you two doing this?

Why are you doing this? Why?

Bitch!

Working at another's house, and look at those lips!

Hey, if you have time to put on lipstick, do the laundry instead!

I knew it the moment you arrived.

You're a terrible person!

And then you fired Soon Geum.

- What did you say? - Guess you need to wash the rags yourself!

Hyun Joo unni, why are you doing this?

Oh Yoon Ju, are you crazy?

Why are you doing this to Madam?

Beg for forgiveness!

Are you crazy?

Why would I beg?

What did I do wrong that I should beg?

Even if you beg it's no use!

Please calm down!

What's this?!

What is this?

Why is this here?

Don't do this!

Enough, Hyun Joo!

Stop it!

Stop it, Hyun Joo!

Put bluntly, there's no reason we should grovel to you!

If you're envious just say so!

We only pretend to grovel in order to earn that wretched money!

Because of that dirty money!

That horrid money!

Because of that dirty money, bitch!

What's happened?

Move aside.

Hyun Joo... Hyun Joo!

President...

You, don't even think about coming around here again, understand?

Who should be saying that?

- You'll never find a maid for that house! - Stop, stop, stop!

I'll make it so that you have to take care of that house forever!

Enough, stop, Hyun Joo.

Who won?

Why is that important?

Did the trophy madam win?

Did Hyun Joo win?

Did she decide to fight with the employer now?

Is that it?

How nice that even after fighting like that she still has a man to take her in.

Those pretty ones, they live up to their faces.

Right.

What a waste, what do we do with them all?

Big Madam left.

Little Madam also left.

You saw?

Yeah.

There's no choice, we should clean this up before Hyun Joo gets kicked out.

Return the ones that aren't damaged to her.

It's so nerve-wracking because of unni!

Hey, but didn't you feel a tiny bit pleased?

Before when I said to Hyun Joon, "Beg to Madam!", I yanked her hair back.

And while saying, "please calm down!"

I put her heel underneath so it would stab into her back.

And she was screaming!

That was great! Awesome idea!

I thought I was going to die of laughter!

Hyun Joo.

Are you okay?

Are... you okay?

Hyun Joon!

Please rest.

Today's event... please forget it.

All right.

Pretend you didn't see it.

Don't worry.

Every person has a moment or a truth that they want to keep a secret.

It looks like you've had a difficult time.

But wouldn't it be better...

to lean on President Kang?

Later at your house...

should we have a cup of tea?

At my house?

Are you okay?

Are you... Hyun Joo!

I'm sorry to you, but...

I was going to sell that ring and send my kids to cram school.

I'm also a woman.

So I was going to sell it after wearing it for just a couple of days.

I was crazy...

What changes in the life of a maid after wearing a ring for a few days?

I can't even make one proper meal for my own children.

And I eat three meals at another's house.

Even if it is a tiny apartment, if I earn enough to sustain us on my own,

I'm going to quit immediately, even if that is tomorrow.

Excuse me, the lottery winnings...

Did you come to see me?

Excuse me?

You came looking for me here?

How did you know I changed offices?

- Oh, did you come to receive your lottery winnings? - Yes, yes.

All right, please come this way.

- She's in charge of it. - Thank you.

Did you come to borrow money from me, too?

Did he order you to?

My father?

Your father just went out.

Did you not see him?

- You're first? - Yes.

You're all skin and bones.

At least you won't get sick.

You must be so very happy.

Do you visit Mom's grave?

It's hard to even see people who are alive...

Do you like cards or money?

Answer me!

Do you like money or cards?

I like cards.

Why?

It's a fun way to earn money.

Then do you like me or cards?

I like you, of course.

Then if I tell you to stop playing cards, you will?

I need to play cards and make you quit working as a maid.

Why would I stop playing?

Have you ever worked for money?

Have you?

What?

Again, again, again, again!

What in the world... you, who only knows how to take money is giving it to me?

I won it.

What is this?

Why do you do these things?

Compared to that, cards are better!

How desperate must I have been!

Let's go to a hospital.

Where are you sick?

Not me, you!

They say gambling is a sickness.

You can't just fix it on your own.

Not being able to fix it even after you've sold your wife and kids is what gambling is!

I don't even have the money to give you anymore.

I need to at least get my money back.

Do you know how much you've given me?

At the very least, I need to win the money I've put into it before I quit.

Whatever!

How can I win over you with words?

The world can look wonderful at one moment, and terrible the next, because of you!

Miss, since you've turned around, why don't you pour me a drink?

Miss, let's see...

But, this Miss is an ahjumma...

Father!

Father, Father!

Father, Father, Father, Father!

He's going to die!

Hey, wake up!

I said I don't want to go to the hospital!

Shut that mouth of yours!

What to do? You couldn't treat everyone.

Is this some stranger's problem? To make fun of your own father...

The situation exploded like a spacecraft explosion.

Drink it in one shot.

Hey, you don't have a high tolerance for alcohol.

Father doesn't know things like that.

He doesn't have any interest in me.

You... said you were going to live like me.

Yes.

You made quite a big proclamation.

Yes.

Then live as I did when I was your age.

And Young Hee, you can live as I am now.

Father, what do you mean by that...

Gun Woo, you live as I did when I was thirty.

And you can live as I am now at 55 years!

What were you like in your thirties?

You'll find out tomorrow.

What's Father up to now?

It's obvious.

Obvious?

Oh, stabbing you in the back again?

Right.

Is there something left that's worse than giving you a son?

Hyung.

Hmm?

Later, to my son, do you think I'll live stabbing his back?

But, why did you lose weight?

I exercised more diligently than I studied.

And it was also more difficult.

In my head, no matter how much I fill it up with scholarly and difficult things,

if I'm still in my body of 150kg,

everyone I know, without exception,

will see me as Mile-Wide Gun,

and treat me as a fatty,

ignoring, belittling me, talking behind my back...

It's obvious that they're going to make me invisible.

Especially Father.

Take me out from that group.

Grandma's excluded, why would I exclude you?

The only one to treat me the same as always is Grandma.

Whatever I do I'm going to find Grandma, and give her back her original job.

The maid now is okay, too.

She's young and pretty,

but it's a waste to have her working as a maid for someone else.

At that age, why is she wasting her youth making food and cleaning up after us?

It's all going to come out as crap anyway.

When you go on a diet, do your words get dirty?

Gun Woo?

It's hot, should we raise the top?

It would be better to just have him die.

What kind of surgery costs 5,000,000 won?

Ahjusshi...

What?

What can I do, to fix my father's habit?

Even if it's a small amount of money,

you keep giving it to your father because you have such a soft heart.

That's why even after your mom died he's living like that.

So you're saying it's because of me?

No, you're a very filial daughter.

He doesn't have the right to have a daughter like you... he's the rotten one.

If I try to save Father now, he might die forever.

From that huge amount of money.

What... are you talking about?

I'll go gather the fees for the surgery.

They say even if you wander into the desert you'll dig a well.

She didn't even blink an eye.

I need to go to the bathroom.

I can't keep it in, I can't keep it in.

I was waiting for your call.

It's Yoo Choon Jak.

It is Yoo Choon Jak Grandma.

The number is, one moment...

010...

The unni's will let me borrow it, right?

62...

Because I can always pay them back.

Because I can pay them back.

Wait!

3, 7, 10...

010-6236...

Give it back!

All right, then.

Give it to me!

Give it to me!

Give this to me.

You're giving it to me.

Oh my goodness!

What are you doing?

I want a different car.

All right.

And change my cards to ones with no limits.

That's great, I was going to do that anyway.

"No, you can't." Don't you know how to say these words?

Why are you doing this to someone who's been firing in the battlefield to earn money?

Did you do me wrong?

No.

It doesn't suit you to complain like this.

You just don't want to hear it.

Don't do this.

Why? Let me complain a bit.

Let's live like humans.

Like other couples.

Don't go in circles, what is it you want to say?

Have ahjumma come back, San keeps looking for her.

Is that all?

Why are you spying on me here?

Don't you have any pride?

Does a young woman have nothing else to do?

What are you doing?

Grab her, grab her, hyung!

Grab her! Grab her!

- Grab her... - Grab her?

010-62... 2...

Mr. Spirit, Mr. Spirit!

My friend is a deer, if you let me go I'll cut off its horn and make you some medicine.

That medicine doesn't suit me.

Spirit...

I... I'm a bunny.

If you save me, I'll give you my liver later!

That liver, I call dibs on it.

Definitely.

What are you doing here at this hour?

Unni, can't you let me borrow some money?

- Money? - It's urgent!

I don't have any money.

Money?

Money.

I don't have any.

Oh? I heard you got fired?

Why are you here?

If Hyun Joo is here, could I see her?

Something must've happened, she was all beaten up.

She left and isn't here.

You really don't have any money?

Even if I died I don't have any.

This, that, here, and there. They're all money-eating machines.

All right, go make dinner.

Soon Geum.

I'm sorry.

Soon Geum! Soon Geum!

While I was cleaning I picked this up from my boss's desk.

[Friendly Loans; Ten seconds from application to approval; 24 Hour Service]

[Yong Capital]

[Money is thicker than blood]

[Please do not give up~]

I'm sorry! I wasn't thinking clearly.

I don't have the confidence to pay back a private loan.

I'm scared of my life turning upside down.

I'm sorry, goodbye!

President Hwang?

- Did you also come here to take out a loan? - What?

Oh...

Yeah.

Blood... President!

Were you attacked by those loan sharks?

Are you okay?

Those bastards!

I didn't know that you were in such difficult circumstances, too.

Let's go somewhere else to borrow money.

I forgot it momentarily, but the interest here is really high.

All right, let's go.

President.

Hello, President!

President?

President... of here?

Blood!

Close the doors.

Yes!

At least suck on this candy.

Since you're standing there with those faces, the lady is scared.

Smile!

Go take care of your business.

Are you afraid?

I'm afraid that other people will find out I used to be in a gang.

You know what it is to be scared, right?

I'll pretend that today never happened!

To me... and to you, either, Mr. President.

What's with this "President," between us?

Just call me ahjusshi, your friendly neighborhood ahjussi.

Try saying it.

"Ahjussi."

Ahjusshi.

Nice, that's it.

But Miss, how could you go around to places like this to take out loans with no fear?

What do we have banks for?

Do your parents know that you come to places like this?

It's because I don't have collateral.

Nor do I have credit.

And I'm going around like this... because of my parents.

Will anyone give you a loan just because you're brave?

Something... do you have anything else?

[Sell Lottery Tickets]

You also buy lottery tickets here?

Only first place tickets.

You have one?

And if I do?

Do you have one or not?

The first place this time, how much are the winnings?

14,200,000,000 won.

If they take 33 percent of tax, how much is left?

After taxes, 9,500,000,000 won.

Yes, Mr. President, it's 9,500,000,000 won.

On top of that I can add another 500,000,000 to make it 10,000,000,000 won.

Why are you giving me another 500,000,000 won?

Do you want to get 9,500,000,000 won from the bank or 10,000,000,000 in cash from me?

That's illegal!

Your parents and siblings are a given.

Church, temple, cathedral, your cousin forty times removed, and even your kindergarten classmates.

Do you want to get those phone calls asking for money?

Or do you want to use the money comfortably without anyone in this world knowing?

So why are you giving me 500,000,000 won more?

You don't need to know that.

It's not a losing business for us, so you don't need to worry.

Leave it, then.

Pretend that nothing's happened.

Open the doors.

I urgently need money for my father's surgery.

Chew it.

Do I look like I want to chew gum right now?

It'll be better to chew it beforehand.

Chew it, it's medicine.

You should've taken it when I offered before.

Quickly, chew it well!

C... c... count it, to see if it's really 10,000,000,000 won.

All right, we're counting.

You need to pick up the phone, why turn it off?!

010-6237-554... 0.

010-6237-554... 1.

Healthy skin and beauty, this is Yuri Skin Care Center.

Business hours are over right now.

HEY!

Hey...

It really is 10,000,000,000 won.

Now, you're not going to come around the neighborhood, right?

Of course.

We shouldn't have any reason to see other again.

Of course.

Now you have money.

Live happily.

Live to your heart's content.

Of course!

The profits will fall by tonight.

Hand over your card.

Hand over all of it.

The investment is over.

I need to claim my profits.

Is this it?

You're broke now.

Penniless.

Like me?

Fine, live like me.

Like I was at thirty.

I wish you good fortune, Gun Woo!

I'm confident.

They said you need to be hospitalized until tomorrow.

You must be itching because you haven't been able to play cards for a few days, what to do?

What's the point of playing the lottery?

How was she able to pay the hospital bill?

What is this?

Hey?

What?

How could you not call after leaving like that?

Hey, I'll make up for losing all of these gwangs*, so watch closely.

*A card worth a lot of points in Go-Stop

Do you need to play cards even at the hospital?

You're going to get kicked out like that!

Unni! This is embarrassing!

It's ddong!

Aigoo, what bad luck!

Father, if you're going to take a crap, do so in the bathroom.

And don't forget the tissue.

Look at this ahjumma, where did you learn how to play cards?

You shouldn't have taken that.

- One at a time, what's left for me to take then? - You should watch what you say, you might regret it.

Now let's take it all!

It's come.

Bi gwang, it's been a while.

Thank you for the gwang bak.

Jjok, jjok, is there no jjok?

- Go, 2 go, 2 go, 2 go! - Unni, quiet!

Bi sang, bi sang, a bi sang.

Where?

Danger, real danger!

The nurse is coming!

Hurry, hurry!

Mr. No, I have to check your blood pressure.

Oh, Father, where did you get beaten up like this?

You should open your hand and relax.

Check this one, this one's healthier.

This is it.

If I had this, I would've won!

It's my turn!

With this I could've completely destroyed you!

- What is this? - Change seats.

- Come on, unni. - Hey, what's this?

Please, enough!

Hey!

To a sick patient, making time go fast is the best way of nursing him to health!

After Soon Geum quit being a maid, her personality changed a lot, Father.

She never got angry like that.

Geum quit being a maid, is that right?

Rest, rest, he needs complete rest!

You need to leave!

- Go! Go! Go! - What's wrong with her?

Unni, hurry, go!

What's wrong with you?

What's wrong? Hey, hey... Father!

Stop it.

Soon Geum, what's wrong with you?

- Thanks, unni! - Hey! Hey!

Oh my...

Did this kid just kick us out?

She's really angry, unni!

She must be upset that we all said we didn't have money to spare last night.

But still... she's younger than us!

Playing cards in the hospital room... even if it was me I'd kick you out!

What's wrong with her now?

Those unnis brought this.

What is this?

They said it was for the hospital expenses.

They said they were sorry about last night.

Did you win the lottery or something?

Why did you quit being a maid?

Are you afraid I'm going to take all that money?

Who said I quit?

If you haven't quit, is it okay for you to be around like this all the time?

Go then, you might get fired like that.

All right.

Don't worry about me during the surgery.

Later at night, I'll come by again.

You don't need to come.

Yeah, how are you?

Do they give out the winnings from there?

The only ones who come here for their winnings are first place winners.

You're saying it's just the first place winners, right?

Yeah, that's right.

So you know where the first place winners are from, right?

What?

Cheong Dam Dong.

Isn't that where Soon Geum works?

You as her father should know where your own daughter works, how should I know?

How much are the winnings?

How annoying...

14,200,000,000 won.

Okay?

So, when can you check out?

Hello?

Hello?

Hello? Hey, Hey!

150 joules!

- 150 joules! - 1, 2, 3!

Can't you contact the guardian?

200 joules!

- 200 joules! - 1, 2, 3!

Where do I go?

[Madam]

Ahjumma.

Ahjumma.

San.

Have you been well?

Did you miss ahjumma?

"Ahjumma, I miss you."

Ahjumma...

Again, "ahjumma."

Ahjumma...

Ahjumma also misses San very much.

Unni, this color's great, right?

It's exactly the color of gojuchang.

That color before was pretty. You should buy one, too.

Who cares about my lips, who am I going to show it off to?

So that it'll look good on the CCTV?

Come out after you buy it.

On a day like this, it would be great to make some kimbap and go on a trip.

Unni, just a moment.

Look in the right pocket.

I bought one for you, too.

- Hey, something this red only suits you. - I said yours was on the right.

Yeah, this is the right.

When you wear it, the right pocket when you take it off is...

Oh, it's the left.

Yours is on the left side.

It's like a flower.

Hey!

Spring is surely Spring, unni.

You like it?

Of course!

This is the hospital, how can patient No Sang Hoon just take off?

The person who worked as a maid here, did they quit?

No.

No Soon Geum, she quit, right?

I said no.

Who are you?

Busy?

Yes, a bit.

Where are you going?

Your house.

Get in.

You said you were busy.

Rather than running, a car is better.

Yes, then... quickly, please.

What are you doing?

"What are you doing?"

Let me out! Quickly!

We're going.

Father!

Father!

The foot you stomped on that day still hurts.

Am I already running out of gas?

The brake isn't working that well.

Grandma's number.

I can't get in contact with the person who gave me the number.

And I keep messing up Grandma's number.

Do you know how I'm feeling?

- Do you know how I'm feeling? - Put on your belt.

- You're probably going to get dizzy. - Why?

We're going to circle this neighborhood all night.

Hand over the lottery ticket.

[Soo Jung unni]

I couldn't tell you because we were so suddenly kicked out,

but that money is from Kang Gun Woo before he left for work.

He must've felt guilty for kicking you out.

Think of it as severance pay and just accept it.

He told us not to tell you.

But we didn't feel right about it.

Kang Gun Woo...

Kang Gun Woo.

Number.

Let's just spend the night here, then.

If you don't have it with you, find out somehow.

Do you like Grandma that much?

Even though she was a maid?

Of course.

What about me?

I'm also a maid.

And I was also unfairly and suddenly kicked out like Grandma.

What about me?

I like you and I don't.

I don't and I do.

Are you saying you like me... or not?

Curious?

Yes.

Try to seduce me, then.

It's hot...

It's night and still chilly, and you say it's hot...

Are you saying you don't like me?

What is this?

I also have pride!

- On whose wishes?! - Get out.

By any chance, you're not going to put bleach in laundry and boil over soup, right?

If you cheat again, I'm going to kill you.

I pushed you here.

Father!

There's a rotten smell.

- You're crazed for money, aren't you? - You're complete thieves!

You money-hungry women!

Move!
