Gu Family Book (구가의 서)

There it was,

a rugged mountain area, where no human dared to go.

Episode 1

Only the mythical creatures protecting the mountain since the beginning,

are said to occasionally appear. It is that place.

It is named Moonlight Garden.

In this Moonlight Garden,

protecting Mt. Jiri since a thousand years ago,

a Divine Being was living there.

Wol Ryung!

Wol Ryung, where are you?

It's me, So Jung!

Hey, Wol Ryung!

Oh no, he didn't possibly... not again,

We're finally here.

Just get out already.

What are you waiting for that you're not getting off?

I'm busy! I've got other places to go to!

Hey,

just hurry up already!

Lady!

Sis!

Sis! Are you alright?

Are you not hurt?

You! How dare you be rude to her?!

What, what?

Rude?

Listen to him!

For a traitor's son with your defamed status, are you still acting like a noble?

How dare you?!

Shut that mouth of yours!

You shut that mouth of yours!

How insolent you are! I'm way older than you!

I'll throw you into a heap of horse manure!

Just let go of him!

Can't you have a little bit of compassion?

What?

Who had been taking care of your family all this time?

Wasn't it our Lord's kindness?

Man, seriously...

How can you change so drastically?

How can you?!

Man, seriously!

What a bad luck I'm having!

Aigoo, Young Master!

Hey there!

Hey! Can't you hear me?

Aigoo, you're here!

What took you so long to open the door?

Here you go.

I've done my part of the deal.

I'll be off then.

Wait, wait,

come in and have a drink of rice wine.

I would love to,

but I've got to serve my mother's spirit tonight.

Spare that rice wine for when I come next time!

Alright, I'll do that.

Alright then, have a good evening.

Let's go now.

Let's go.

What are you waiting for? Just hurry in!

Just, what is this place for?

What place?

Don't you know what Choonhwagwan is?

What?

Choonhwagwan?

Isn't that a Gisaeng House?

Noonim!

Yes sir! The Five-Drum-Dance, Gisaeng Chun is the world's best!

The best in the whole world!

The new Lord is totally smitten!

He was drooling like crazy while watching you dance.

I bet he wasn't just drooling.

His pants were probably...

Ahem. You're on it again!

How come the words coming out of your mouths are so vulgar?

My lady, it's me, Jang Shoe.

What is it?

Well, my lady...

I'm not going in! - If you're not,

you've been sold as a State Gisaeng, what do you want to do, die?

It's better you kill me.

I'd rather die than go in there!

Listen, dear. I'm really busy right now because of the magistrate's party.

So just get in while I'm still asking you nicely.

Just go in already!

Let go!

Let go of me!

I'm not going in, I said!

Don't you hear what she said?

Get off! Don't touch my sister!

What's with the noise?

Aigoo, my lady.

Whose children are they?

Deputy-Minister Yoon, who was executed for treason a while ago.

Treason, huh?

Then, they are the kids of high treason criminals.

Please don't speak with such contempt!

Our father was wrongfully framed and accused!

He would never have committed treason!

That's none of my concern.

For whatever reason, you've been sold as a State Gisaeng.

As such, from now on, you must follow the rules of this house.

I won't.

It doesn't matter.

You don't have a choice!

I will not go inside no matter what!

I will not

become a lowly gisaeng!

A lowly gisaeng?

I see.

Jang Shoe,

Yes, my lady!

Strip her.

What, what are you doing?

Lady!

Stop that at once!

Sis! Sis!

Stop that! What are you doing?!

Lady! - Sis!

How dare you!

How dare you do this?!

Lady!

Lady! - Sis!

Sis!

Tie her up.

Lady! - Sis!

Stop that!

Lady! - Sis!

Lady!

Keep those two locked up in the storage room.

Keep her tied up here until I tell you otherwise.

Don't give her any food or water without my explicit instructions.

Understood?

Yes, my lady!

Sis! - Lady!

Lady! - Sis!

Open the door! Just open it already!

Sis!

What should we do now?

Lady! Lady!

Listen!

What is this all about?

What in the...

My dear, do you even know what tree you're tied to?

It's a Shame Tree!

For girls like you who come from noble families with their attitude,

this is the Shame Tree that breaks you in!

Shame Tree?

Just give up all that petty pride as nobility,

and leave it behind on that tree.

When morning comes, just plead for mercy

to the head gisaeng lady, asking for forgiveness.

Or you may suffer something even worse!

Listen! Listen!

How can you

do this to another human being?

Please set me free!

Please set me free!

Hello!

Subtitles brought to you by the Gumiho Lovers Team @Viki.

No, I can't.

I promised So Jung that I wouldn't meddle with human affairs.

I can't.

Help me!

Help me...

Help me.

Father! Father!

Accept the royal order!

His Majesty has ordered that the traitor Yoon Gi Soo be executed!

Father!

Listen, Gwang Woong! How can you falsely accuse me like this?

After all those years of our friendship?

You called me a friend in words, but

you always looked down on me because of my humble origin.

That's why I've come to teach you this lesson clearly.

That you shouldn't have treated me like that.

Let go of me!

Father! Father!

Seo Hwa!

Don't be too sad.

I'll make your precious daughter a State Gisaeng

and cherish her dearly.

I wonder,

what would it be like to sleep with

a noble daughter of a prestigious family?

Jo Gwang Woong,

you bastard!

Father!

Now, let's drink!

Congratulations, sir!

Peony flower!

Sir!

My lord, it is Chun Soo Ryun.

Aigoo, Head Chun!

Come on in! Come in!

Congratulations, my lord.

I heard you were promoted to Senior Rank 5 Officer.

News does travel fast!
