So you can go inside and beg from everyone?
- No, that's not it. - What do you mean, no?
What is happening?
They're filthy! Are they beggars?
Is today a special day?
It's so unlucky to start the day with beggars at the gate!
Chase them away quickly and spray salt on the gates!
What... what are you doing here?
- Brother... - Brother?
Are you related?
- They're my siblings. - Really?
Let's go. Hurry, let's go.
Stop eating so fast, you'll have indigestion.
It's for their meal.
Sister!
I told you not to come here.
We were so hungry... And mother's sick.
- What about the money I gave you? - Father...
He gambled it all away again?
How sick is Mother?
She can't go to work. And Brother isn't visiting as often...
I don't know what to do about the harvest.
I was going to come and help you. So don't worry.
Keep eating. I'll be right back.
Why are we here?
Why are you doing this?
Isn't this what you wanted? Isn't it?
No, it's not. It's not like that!
Then what is it? Are you stupid?
Sum-Sum!
Why have you been going to my house everyday for the past three years?
Why do you give your paltry wages to my father?
A courtesan's body... is nothing more than just a body.
It can be easily bought with money.
So I'll give it to you.
I'll give it to you before I give it a stranger!
Don't be like that. Don't torture yourself like that.
If you do this, I won't be at peace.
I don't expect anything from you.
I just feel... sorry for you.
Other girls buy ornaments for themselves,
but you save all your money for your siblings.
Who do you think you are? Who are you that you should pity me?
You're a slave! And you dare to pity me?
Get dressed. I'll wait outside.
Half-wit! Coward!
Weakling! Idiot!
You are burning the midnight oil again.
Shall we practice together? Let's not sleep tonight.
Why are you looking at me like that? You can't believe I said that?
No, it's not that.
I'm going to practice hard and go to the capital.
I'm going to become a palace courtesan.
And then, for an immense amount of money...
I will sell my talent and love.
Forget about that baby-faced young master.
Let's practice hard and become the best!
If there is anyone who will command such an amount, it would be you, Jin-Yi.
You can do it, right?
You know, Sum-Sum...
I used to be confident. I used to think that
I can do anything I put my mind to.
But... some things are impossible.
Stop that nonsense!
If you show your weak side, you'll crumble.
No matter what, we have to become the best!
If not, our lives will be ruined!
You disobedient fool! I told you again and again!
How dare you abandon your master?
Madam... please have mercy!
Mother! Mother, what is the meaning...?
What are you doing? Continue beating him!
Yes Madam!
No! I won't let you!
Stand back!
Please beat me instead. He has done nothing wrong!
Disobedient whelp!
Mother...!
Mother...
Go away.
Mother.
I told you to go away.
Why are you treating others so badly?
It is tradition for slaves who do not serve their masters well to be punished.
I do not understand.
Why are you filled with so much anger, Mother?
This side of you is not familiar to me.
Not familiar to you?
It is a hundred times worse for me!
I thought that you of all people...
would understand my bleeding and broken heart
better than anyone else.
But at such a young age, how can you be so similar to your father?
Will you come to your senses if I collapse under the stress?
Are you sleeping?
Someone said that this tonic is good for bruises.
Get up and drink some.
