[This is a work of fiction. Characters, places, agencies, incidents, organizations, religion, and the setting have no connections to real life.]
[Maeng Du Ri / 23 years old / Note: Harsh-spoken woman] Making a living for myself is so convenient.
[Second oldest of the old maidens] Why would I get married to serve and feed a husband, too?
Men are all about the same. What is the use of an ideal type?
Oh, right!
Since I was told I do not have to marry someone I do not want...
My ideal type is
someone who can earn a living for himself with his own hands.
[Yoon Boo Gyeom / 27 years old / Note: orphaned at a young age] Mencius once said
[A farming nobility] farming is the great basis of life for humanity.
It is not a shame for a noble to farm.
My ideal type?
Even if I tell you,
what would be the use of my feelings?
[Episode 5: The Happening at Temple Seonhwa]
Don't get nervous.
My brother cannot even recognize me before and after makeup.
Yes...
What do I do?
You!
What is this outfit?
Do you recognize me?
How could I not?
I asked why you are dressed like this.
I disguised myself as a Bukchon's daughter-in-law to make my job easier.
Even so, how can a merchant pretend to be a noble madam? I will-
Are you going to report me?
Seriously.
It is quite miserable because this job is far too different from my conviction.
Miserable is a bit too much.
Now that I look at you, you took the thick makeup off your face...
Gosh! Do not say anything.
I know very well my face without makeup and a beauty mark is bland.
I am glad you know,
but it is not too bad to look at.
I prefer the way you look now.
Sorry?
Forget it. Hurry up and explain now.
Why is Temple Seonhwa a special place?
Where are the brand new old bachelors you mentioned?
Since you are here, I will tell you everything, starting with Temple Seonhwa's tower circling of love.
Whoa, t-this is...
The inner circle is made up of madams and their children, who have clear goals.
It is the final procedure of checking if the brides and grooms are healthy.
The one next to the madam with a peony skirt is Young Master Seok Ho.
Some enthusiastic madams would check the brides or grooms by disguising themselves as peddlers.
But it is cumbersome, so they prefer Temple Seonhwa's tower circling.
It is surprising that there is such an unspoken rule to tower circling.
It is more surprising that someone from Hanyang does not know about it.
My family went to Temple Yongmun.
How unfortunate.
Now, we will move to my favorite heart-fluttering section.
H-Heart-fluttering section?
W-Wait for-
It is where young people who are not yet engaged gather.
This is also the section where most first-sights happen.
Whoa.
Are you feeling ill?
I sometimes get unprovoked palpitations when I am in a crowd.
Sorry?
That was surely the language of Joseon, but why can't I understand what you said?
It means my heart sometimes races when there are many people, causing chest pain.
It calms down if I look away from people.
So, stand there in the way for a moment.
It is not some kind of a life-threatening disease, right?
Modern-day medicine does not know the cause, but it is not life-threatening.
Gosh, it is getting a bit better now.
One moment, please.
I will make way, so just follow me closely from behind, looking at only me.
Simply said, make me your shield, and don't look at other people.
Your chest should not hurt anymore, then, right?
Sure.
All right.
This way.
Aren't we getting away from the old bachelors if we go this way?
There aren't any old bachelors here.
Old bachelors gather somewhere else.
This is it. The place where old bachelors gather.
Among matchmakers, it is called the Fence of Darkness.
What do you mean there are people there?
Wait, will you be okay?
A lot of old bachelors will be there as well.
I cannot be any better, perhaps because I cannot see them.
In that case, take a few more steps and inspect.
W-Whoa, is your chest in pain again?
Do not make a scene unnecessarily!
Being around people does not mean I will be in pain, so do not treat me like a patient.
Yes, but tell me if it hurts again.
I will become your shield.
Okay, sure.
B-By the way, what are those things in the darkness?
They are empty souls who cannot even join the tower circling.
They are old bachelors who came to Temple Seonhwa with vague hope.
Once you go inside, you can see for sure.
Hurry up now.
- My goodness. - You are way too slow.
Why do you play janggi* like this? (Korean chess)
Hear me out. Isn't the one in the jade skirt over there quite pretty?
She's too tall for my liking.
I mean, it's not like I was head over heels for her.
Hear this out. If Left State Minister's only daughter and Great Merchant...
- Scholar Song. - Yes, Scholar Song's oldest daughter.
If both of them proposed to you at the same time, who would you choose?
W-Wait, give me some time.
It is not easy.
Why are you conflicted about such things?
They still have not stabilized Bukchon's home prices? How frustrating.
I do not think there is anyone who can stabilize Bukchon's home prices.
Please take back just one move.
I missed it because I was too busy talking.
They say what is done is done.
This lamp is what you need, right?
Well...
Yes, I do need it.
I would like you to interview and record all the scholars by the fence.
I will make it so the ladies will come here after one hour as we planned.
Sure, I got it.
Is it because it's Buddha's Birthday?
My makeup is looking better.
But it is not too bad to look at.
I prefer the way you look now.
He was the first one to recognize me without my makeup.
Sir, please sit here.
[Old Bachelor Number 1: Kim Jae Gwang / 31 years old / Studying for state exam] I believe Joseon today has lost its fairness.
If you are not the child of a high-ranking official,
you have no chance at success or marriage.
[Chronic inheritance of wealth]
My ideal type of woman is someone who is pretty and young.
[Old Bachelor Number 4: Jung Yeon Seo / 32 years old / Studying for general exam] Houses in Hanseong have become too expensive, all the way to Mt. Mokmyeok.
So I could not get married.
[Hanyang's real estate problem] My ideal type of woman is
someone who is pretty and young.
[Old Bachelor Number 7: Choi Young Tae / 33 years old / Studying for state exam] Everyone gets a house at least within the capital when getting married
and travel to the eight provinces once a year to refresh one's energy, right?
My marriage was delayed looking for a woman who would agree to those terms.
My ideal type of woman is
- someone who is young- - Someone who is young and pretty, right?
Whoa, how did you know?
I am not fazed by such words anymore.
Oh Bong!
Captain Jung Soon Goo of Hanseongbu is the one who opened the door to Sinmungo.
- Are you sure? - Yes.
Go now.
My goodness. Noonim, you need to manage your in-laws.
I found out the one who opened the door to Sinmungo is a son of your in-laws.
Why would he do that?
That is my question.
He does not even know who made it possible for him to become a captain.
I will talk some sense into-
I will look into it so you can sit still.
Yes.
Oh, that's right. I saw Gyeongwoonjae Prince on the way here.
Gyeongwoonjae Prince came here?
Yes.
I heard he is setting up Maeng Ha Na. That must be why he is here.
Temple Seonhwa on Buddha's Birthday is the matchmakers' favorite place.
What do you mean Gyeongwoonjae Prince is setting people up?
[Old Bachelor Number 12: Kim Jib / 30 years old / traveling the country to train his mind] I heard Temple Seonhwa is the most beautiful in the nation, so I came from far away.
If I am looking for a lady who will accept me for who I am instead of my family or wealth,
am I being too idealistic?
I would have said you were too farfetched moments ago.
But you sound the most normal, actually.
[Old Bachelor Number 15: Jang Chun Bae / 35 years old / Teacher of a state exam test prep school / Note: Returnee] Everyone comes here for the same reason. Why should I be embarrassed?
I am actually a returnee.* (Slang for divorcé)
Do you not know what a returnee is?
Someone who married for a brief moment and came back single. A returnee.
However, I do not have children, so I am more or less a first-timer. [Returnee]
Do you understand?
I ran a big school in Myeongrun-dong for a long time,
so I have some farmland outside the capital.
I would like a young bride who is healthy, pretty,
and well-behaved. Do you understand?
[Old Bachelor Number 16: Han Jong Bok / 30 years old / Studying for state exam / Note: Has a widowed mother] Youth and beauty are fleeting.
It's not like men don't age.
You live well when you meet someone of your age.
[Normal]
Oh, yes.
[Old Bachelor Number 23: Heo Suk Hyeon / 29 years old / A cook at the royal kitchen / Note: Black sheep of the family] Would there be a woman who would like a man like me?
There just might be one, so tell me your ideal type.
I just want...
a woman who can understand me, and that's all.
Why would I need to get interviewed?
All the scholars here need to be interviewed.
Are you the last one, Number 24, Scholar Yoon Boo Gyeom, who lives in Shinchon?
[Old Bachelor Number 24: Yoon Boo Gyeom / 27 years old / Farmer / Note: Orphaned at a young age] - That is correct. - You passed...
the lesser exam with top scores.
But why are you farming instead of continuing to study for the state exam?
Could I be appointed even if I passed the state exam when I do not belong to neither
the Dongno Party nor the Namjang Party? Never mind.
Would I even be able to pass the state exam?
You only need skills to pass the state exam, right?
Since you say such a thing, you must belong to the Dongno Party.
[Distorted inferiority complex] Since he is twisted by having a distorted inferiority complex,
no wonder he became an old bachelor!
Aigoo.
[End of Old Bachelor Interview]
Put down your lotus lamps and come closer for a second.
Pass the first gate, cover your faces with your head coverings so your faces do not show
and go all the way up to the Mahavira Hall.
Do tower circling at the twin towers.
You like him, right?
He is over there.
The more you look, the more charming she is.
Walk exactly two rounds and,
starting with Lady Ha Na, take 50 steps to the left,
until you are under the tree with the fish lamp.
From there, you will see the Darkness Horizon I told you about.
[Darkness Horizon] Starting with Lady Ha Na, start walking past the Darkness Horizon and
perform the first-sight technique in the middle.
I will be going first, then.
You just need to do as we practiced.
Shall we do a cheer and start?
Gosh, what is the use?
It is childish.
I love the cheer.
Let us find a good fate and live happily.
- Hurray! - Hurray!* (Sounds like abbreviation of "Let Us Find Good Fate and Live Happily")
Hurray!
Let us go.
Are you making it obvious you belong to the Namjang Party?
What are you saying after ruining a perfectly fine game?
You clearly know I belong to the Dongno Party.
But you ticked me off, saying Dongno Party is to blame for the inflation in Hanyang!
Stop making excuses.
- You knew you would lose, so you... - What's the vibe over there?
You should know to be ashamed!
Don't even get me started.
They broke into a fight while playing Go.
You should know to be ashamed!
- And you call yourself- - Let's settle this with a fight!
A fight? You think I would be scared? Come here.
- Bring it on. - Come on!
I really dislike old bachelors.
- Go ahead, take a shot! - You go ahead!
The ladies will be passing by soon.
- Hey! - Who do you think you are?
I will let you swing first!
Huh?
Gosh, it's all over!
It is the song of love with a daegeum*! (Korean large bamboo flute)
Daegeum song?
What an annoying daegeum sound.
Do you dislike this sound of deageum, Aunt?
I love it so much.
It is because it is too sweet to my ears.
You are annoyed when it is sweet to your ears?
It would have been great if he came with me today.
I will be in the kitchen, so please look after Geun Seok.
Yes.
Aigoo.
She has her reasons.
I cannot be too conspicuous because this marriage is to be done in secret.
But the Left State Minister's daughter will be circling the towers with her 12-year-old nephew.
So, you should be able to recognize her right away.
How odd.
Why is she not there?
Mother, who are you looking for?
I am happy I got to circle the towers with you.
Yes, I am happy as well.
My Lady.
W-What did you do just now?
Lady Ha Na's looks are enough to make all the old bachelors move.
So, letting her make the choice is easier to create a relationship at times like this.
Even among Ssangyeonsulsa, those born more powerful than others
would end up matching people without even realizing it.
It seemed too early to throw the stone in this game.
A heavenly maiden...
H-Hey-
Why are you playing the drum?
Your heart races when you see someone you like.
It also races when you hear drumbeats.
It is to confuse old bachelors into thinking their hearts are racing from seeing Lady Du Ri.
Wait, that would be fraud.
Rather than fraud, please call it my technique of amplifying the heart flutter.
We need an old bachelor who will take the reigns for Lady Du Ri, who is not cooperative with marriage.
This is a resin extracted from spring flowers.
Apply it on your wrist, neck, and skirt hem before walking.
From flowers?
Hurray!
W-Wait, why is that lamp placed there?
Unfortunately, most old bachelors only focus on looks.
So, the flower scent will move old bachelors just like attracting bees.
And Lady Sam Soon's looks will be enhanced with the lights from the fish lamp.
Wait, that is also fraud based on optical illusion.
I think it is a matchmaking technique.
As I expected, you are flexible.
To be calling fraud a technique...
The future of Joseon is gravely dark.
Whoa, Lady Sam Soon is the type to sneeze from flower pollens!
Gosh, this is nuts.
She should have told me sooner.
The youngest did not get to lock her eyes with anyone. What do we do?
I will ensure the marriage happens without a hitch, so do not worry.
If failing the first-sights does not affect their marriages,
why on Earth did we go through all this ruckus?
It is to find old bachelors whom the ladies would like.
Oh, no, Lady Sam Soon.
You will blow out the ground with your sighs.
What's this? You said you were not coming.
I was passing by and decided to stop by.
Liar. How can you be just passing by Temple Seonhwa?
You came to see me.
It's a trotting horse lamp this year instead of the turtle lamp, huh?
It is pretty.
Oh, you should take a shot, too, Orabeoni.
This liquor is a delicious one.
Who would ever take a virgin who loves alcohol this much?
Do not worry.
I got a marriage offer from a handsome young master who goes to Sunkyungkwan.
How great.
Our little girl is getting married, so I should share a toast with you.
O-Oh, yes.
Gosh!
Stop looking back. Your neck is about to get twisted.
I am sure you have no regrets since many scholars stood up.
Sam Soon, go ask Yeojudaek whether it is okay or not if you are that worried.
Can I really do that?
Du Ri, go with her.
- I need to give Mother her medicine. - Gosh, it's such a hassle.
Let's go, please, Unni!
So, was there a man you found appealing?
I was too busy sneezing that I did not get to see anyone.
I am fine with any scholar who says he likes me.
Any? Do you like men that much?
I know...
Why can I not be honorable when it comes to men like you unnis,
and lewdly like men for no reason?
Hey, why are you running away?
Gosh, that idiot.
OMG.
OMG?
You scared me.
Where did you come from?
Oh, I was also taken aback.
To think I would meet you again at a place like this.
It is nice.
Mind your own business and go your own way.
I think you have twisted your ankle again, so I cannot just pass by.
Please excuse me...
for a moment.
Hey! Let me down!
Can't believe he's chasing me even on Buddha's Birthday...
That officer is too diligent!
Wait...
Is he chasing me so hard because it is me?
I will spare your life if you give me the signed letter you have.
You were a woman, as I thought.
The soldier who took the signed letter from her arms,
and the assassin who got the signed letter taken from her,
stood watching each other as if time stopped.
They did not know then that was
the start of their long and difficult romance.
It is such a good start.
So you were Hwa Rok, after all, Maiden.
I will not arrest you,
so do not worry.
Tell me what you want to say if you are not arresting me.
Stop writing erotica novels immediately.
The reason Hanseongbu is chasing Hwa Rok is not merely for disturbing society.
It is for causing the deceased Lee Cho Ok's death by breaking the law.
Causing her death by breaking the law?
If you get caught, you could be executed.
So, if you do not want to die an unfair death-
I understand.
You have to be careful because an injured ankle can easily get twisted again.
It will get better with some time, so please rest up here before you go.
I should have gone with Sam Soon...
Pardon? I did not hear what you said.
I was not speaking to you.
Also, do you think I would be grateful to you if you did this?
My father said I should express my apology, gratitude, and love
if I want to live without regrets.
You have a good father.
You do that.
There is something I have been curious about.
How old are you that you constantly speak down to me?
Twenty-three. What about you?
I am somewhat similar in age.
Similar, my foot.
You look younger than my youngest sister.
Do you want to circle the tower with me if you have not done so?
I already did.
You already did, I see...
Wow, I did not know there was such a good place like this in Temple Seonhwa.
What a beautiful view.
I did not get to tell you this yet.
I really enjoyed your daegeum performance.
I tend to get really good at something if I start it.
But are things going well with the third daughter?
There is a rice cake merchant I know on the market street.
He makes injeolmi, steamed rice cake, and mugwort pounded rice cake.
But one day, he said steamed rice cakes were not selling as much.
It is not like the steamed rice cakes are not tasty.
But I think it is not the steamed rice cakes' fault.
You are saying the situation earlier was not ideal for the third daughter to find a partner.
As expected, your ability to understand is top-notch as well.
I mean, stop talking about things that all of Joseon knows.
Just take this.
This is the latest item from the Ming Dynasty. Do you know what it is?
- It is- - Is it not a sky lantern?
- It is. - I launched one with my orabeoni once in Pyeongyang.
You keep talking about your orabeoni.
What does your orabeoni do for a living anyway?
While we are on the topic,
how old are you?
You look much younger than me, and yet you speak brashly to me.
All right.
Gosh! I should have made a wish!
You are not a child. Why make a wish?
Here. You can have this one.
Is that really okay?
Oh, right.
Making a wish, goodness.
Let me ask you.
What wish did you make?
My orabeoni said your wish will not come true if you tell someone.
Again, again, with your orabeoni talk.
Is this...
Is this not the premonitory behavior before a kiss that I read in the erotica novels?
Why already...
Sir, I will see you at the merchants' inn in three days.
Goodbye.
She cannot just leave...
after making a situation like this!
I...
No... no.
Gosh, what do I do!
Why is not my granddaughter-in-law here?
It appears she is outside with Geun Seok.
I saw on the way that Geun Seok was with a servant.
Hyungnim, you need to watch your widowed daughter-in-law.
Shall I go outside and look for her?
Gosh, you scared me!
Aunt, quietly!
Why were you bowing in the back?
Because you were not here, Mother...
Do not forget that you are now a part of the Jo family.
Yes, Mother.
Where did you come from?
You were definitely not here before.
You did not even look carefully, Aunt.
Where did you pop up from, Ye Jin?
Sister-in-law insisted on doing a thousand bows,
so I was bowing here all day and missed out on the lantern festival.
Oh! It is Uncle!
Orabeoni!
Have you been well?
Thanks to you, we are doing well.
Your father is doing well, right?
Thanks to you, he is well.
Oh, when there was the issue with Sinmungo,
I heard you were the one who opened the door to Sinmungo.
Is that true?
Why are you here at this hour?
There is a lady who has been treated unjustly.
Could you open the door to Sinmungo?
Oh, Mother, that was-
I did so because of His Excellency Gyeongwoonjae.
Gyeongwoonjae Prince?
If that was discourteous of me, I apologize.
What do you mean, discourteous? Not at all.
Thanks to you, the Defense Minister's unfair scandal disappeared.
Did you come to see Geun Seok's mother?
Geun Seok.
Geun Seok's mother, leave Geun Seok with me,
and catch up with your brother before you come home.
- You do not need to- - Thank you...
Mother.
What is Gyeongwoonjae Prince up to?
I would handle it myself. Why did you tell a lie that would be found out quickly!
My mother could ask Resentful Man-
I mean, she could ask His Excellency Gyeongwoonjae directly.
- It is not a lie. - What do you mean, it is not a lie?
I asked you to open Sinmungo.
When things were nearly wrapped up, His Excellency Gyeongwoonjae came to me.
He said if anyone asks who opened Sinmungo, say that it was him.
Why would the Resentful Man do that?
Why would you ask me to say yes to something you did not?
I do not want innocent people to suffer
when the Defense Minister is the despicable one.
I can avoid punishment because I am a member of the royal family.
This is how much I care about the subordinates.
But... um...
how do you know Yeojudaek?
Who is Yeojudaek?
Forget it if you do not know her.
Though His Excellency Gyeongwoonjae is eccentric
and quite resentful, but he does not seem like a bad person.
Do the Inspector and His Excellency Gyeongwoonjae know each other?
That was why he did not like it when I criticized Resentful Man.
What?
It is nothing.
In any case, that is a relief.
Could you please just stay out of trouble for once?
Geez, you are taking credit for helping me out once!
I will take care of myself, so mind your own business.
You should go home now.
Already? I do not want to!
You think I have many opportunities to be allowed to play like this?
I will play a bit more before I go home.
Are you at the age to play?
Hurry up and come.
There are two in the sky...
Is there another person who launched sky lanterns?
[One hour ago]
Gosh, do not come here and wait where you are.
You will get your clothes dirty.
Hey, just go on ahead.
Yeah, over there, over there. It is right in front over there.
Aigoo, goodness.
What wish did you make?
A wish will not come true if you tell someone.
Who said that?
Her orabeoni- gosh, hey!
What is the matter?
I came to talk to you because I am worried about Gyeongwoonjae Prince's actions.
If it is about Sinmungo, I will handle it.
More than that,
I am more concerned about how he is matchmaking for Master Maeng's daughters.
So you heard that he is matchmaking for them.
This is not the first time that Gyeongwoonjae Prince did something weird.
Old maidens were used as an excuse to push back the Crown Prince's marriage.
Seeing how he is matchmaking for Master Maeng's daughters, who represent old maids,
I worry that he may be helping the king.
Once this insurrection is over,
the plan was to send him into exile, linking him to his hyung and charging him with accepting bribes.
I will move up the timing.
How about making him...
Geun Seok's tutor instead of sending him to exile.
Gyeongwoonjae Prince would not easily go into exile just because we charged him with a crime.
And he would not be able to give up on the Dongno Party.
So, I must keep him close and find out what he thinks.
That way, we will be able to decide
whether he will come with us,
or eliminate him rather than exile him.
Your Excellency, it is me, Oh Bong.
This is the list of tenant farmers based on the farmland,
and the letter was sent by the Honorable Lady Jeonggyeong of the Left State Minister.
The Minister's wife?
Why is she ordering me to come and go?
What do I do?
What do I do? What do I do? What do I do?
You told Yeojudaek you will handle everything.
Why are you doing this here? It is so distracting!
I had time, then. So, I thought I would come up with something when it happens.
What do I do? I need to pick up the wedding date letter tomorrow.
How about you ask Lee?
Lee?
The Left State Minister's daughter and the Chancellor's eldest son are getting married?
Of course, I will keep it a secret until their wedding!
I am good at keeping secrets.
No. The moment it enters Lee's ears, the whole city will find out.
That is true.
It would surely lead to a broken-up wedding.
Damn it...
How about I just put on stronger makeup
and say Yeojudaek's younger sister came in her place?
That is a bit...
No, even my orabeoni cannot recognize me,
so maybe Mother will not, either.
I will be going, then.
She is not thinking of actually going there, right?
Wait here for a moment.
Madam!
Someone came in Yeojudaek's place because she got a cold. Shall I have her come in?
I told her to conduct it secretly, yet she sent someone else?
Have her come in.
Yes, Madam.
You want me to go personally to pick up the wedding date letter?
You did not get to check out the Left State Minister's daughter at the Temple Seonhwa.
That is true, but how could I personally go there?
The wives of officials sometimes disguise themselves
as merchants to check out their future daughter-in-law in advance.
I have heard those stories, too.
But if I go to that house, I will have to meet the Minister's wife.
Will she not recognize me?
She probably will know right away.
That is why you should personally go and
check if this marriage will truly be beneficial to your family.
You kept having doubts about it, did you not?
Yeojudaek said to let you know she is sorry for not being able to come.
And the Chancellor's wife told me to give you this.
Each for you, the aunt-to-be, and Lady Ye Jin, Madam.
She said she was sending three.
Even for Royal Consort Sookbin?
She must be a very detailed person.
Mother.
Your mother-in-law-to-be will be coming tomorrow.
You should dress as modestly as possible.
The first impression is always important.
If you give a bad impression, your first years of marriage will be difficult.
Must I really do that?
I know. Why were you not at the tower circling for Buddha's birthday?
She is my daughter.
I heard Yeojudaek sets up people by using a man and woman's appearance.
I called you because I wondered if you do the same.
It is well known that the Left State Minister's daughter is the top bride candidate in Hanyang.
How could a mere merchant judge her and say she is good or bad?
I heard the Chancellor's son is also very intelligent and dutiful.
The young master of that family loved to study from a young age,
and is compassionate, so he has the capacity to do great things for the nation,
but they are worried about how he is just too nice.
If that is the case, please tell them that my bright daughter Ye Jin and his father-in-law,
the Left State Minister will provide great support to him.
Yes.
If it is May 25th, is that not too soon?
The marriage partner is set. There is no need to delay it.
I will ask Sam Wol's mother to take care of the little details,
so you should take care of Ye Jin,
and take care not to let word get out until the wedding day.
Yes.
Oh, and Geun Seok's tutor is to come soon,
so, come to the annex with Geun Seok when I tell you.
Geun Seok just turned 12.
Would it not be too hard on him to have tutoring in addition to going to school?
Being 12 is not a young age.
Geun Seok should focus on his studies now.
I am grateful,
but I have no experience in teaching anyone.
I will refuse the position of tutoring your grandson.
Were you not Grand Prince Woonhae's teacher for about half a year
before he became the Crown Prince?
I was merely someone he could talk to back then.
All you have to do is to just tell my grandson some good things as well.
Grandmother, it is me, Geun Seok!
Welcome.
