- Final Episode -
Today,
I was supposed to bring Hye Na back to you.
But this morning...
my mother passed away.
So I think it'll be hard to drop Hye Na off.
The burial is the morning after tomorrow.
Thanks for your understanding.
I will bring her the day after tomorrow.
Grandma,
Thank you.
I will give you my luck back.
Because of the luck you gave to me
I came here safely.
Now... I think you will need that luck, Grandma.
Goodbye, Grandma.
What is that?
A letter.
Yoon Bok Unni suggested we write one to Grandma.
Even though Grandma can't read letters anymore,
If we write a letter, our feelings of sadness and longing will ease,
That's what Noona said.
By the way, Yoon Bok is Unni?
Mom told us we should start calling her Unni.
Right!
That's right.
Select which service... Please select your destination: Gangwondo
Please select the number of tickets you need.
Mom.
I need to go back now, right?
We cannot run away now, can we?
For about 3 hours...
I think we can be on the run.
Would Teacher recognize us?
I'm not sure.
Let's not get disappointed even if she doesn't recognize us.
It's okay even if she doesn't recognize us. We can become friends again.
Teacher!
Who are you?
Chef.
Apple? (Playing word chain)
Scientist.
Bicycle.
I heard she used to run an orphanage. She has visitors now and then.
- Greetings. - Is that so?
L..Love?
But she doesn't recognize anyone.
Even her nephew.
Her nephew visits her often?
He came once a while ago.
The orphanage was set on fire. He said it's bad luck.
He came to get her signature so he could sell it at auction.
Love
Teacher.
My mom passed away.
Oh my... That's sad.
And...
I've found another mom.
The one who gave birth to me.
Nurungji (scorched rice).
Do you remember?
Teacher.
It's me, Nam Soo Jin.
Red bean paste bun.
Yes, right.
You raised me.
You said you would remember that I became a mom.

Goodbye.
Bye, Mom.
My mom, the person I treasure and feel thankful for the most.
And Yoon Bok.
Yoon Bok... Goodbye to you, too.
If... if somehow,
I went to a home that made us thousands of kilometers apart,
I was worried that you might forget me.
That will never happen.
I was worried that I might forget you.
What if I don't recognize you and just pass by you
when I see you on the street in the future?
No matter what, I will recognize you.
I will find you.
What is this?
Mom Soo Jin. My mom. It's a notebook about everything.
Not about things I like or I dislike.

If you have that, you won't forget me, right?
Yoon Bok. Do you know how those migratory birds get to their destination without getting lost?
Birds use constellations as a map.
Around Polaris.. Ursa Major.. Ursa Minor.. Cassiopeia.
Birds get help from the stars and head north.
Birds learn that from their mothers when they are little.
The location of the stars, seen when they were baby birds, becomes their map.

Let's eat!
Thank you, Teacher.
- Here. - Thank you.
- Kids, is it yummy? - It's good, Teacher.
Teacher's food is most delicious!
Is that so?
Eat a lot and grow up!
You know that I like kids that eat well, right?
Yes!
Well... Oh, you're here!
I'm hungry.
- Simmered eggplant and grilled saury, right? - Yes.
Here... Wait while drinking this.
I will quickly make them for you.
Child abuse and its aftermath. Author: Kang Hyeon Jin
You've become an author, I see.
Not quite an author... a journalist?
I'm not quite a reader,
But this, this, this! I should read this one, though.
Well... please take a look at the first page.
Okay.
My father, I give this to Park Jae Beom.
From Kang Hyeon Jin.
Thanks to you, I'm a journalist's father now.
Wait, we shouldn't do with a saury.
Mero (patagonian toothfish). Right, mero. Ms. Writer, how about a mero?
No, thanks. I like Saury, you know.
There. It's mixed.
Should we have a toast? On a beautiful day like this?
Alright.
Hyeon Jin, great job.
Hey, you should've gotten your hair and makeup done at a salon. You look sick.
I was busy, writing that book and doing donations..
A freelancer is busier than others you know.
Now you should have somewhere to belong though.
Don't you have any lingering feeling for the newspaper?
I find this lifestyle suits me.
Doing a slow but deep investigation..
You know, I'm a bit slow and tenacious.
Kim Yoon Bok's Missing Person Case. After story.
Is Yoon Bok doing alright?
They say she's doing fine,
But the group-home mother is a particular person. I barely got an interview.
I was so curious so I went to her school and watched from a distance.
How was she?
Didn't Yoon Bok always hop around our house?
This little girl was dragging her feet, walking alone...
My mind was not easy. She looked down too.
Did something upset her or something?
We shouldn't tell Unni though, right?
Those Anas Formosas you can see over there,
They fly non-stop from Siberia to Korea for about 2 to 3 thousand kilometers.
- It's amazing, isn't it? - Yes!
Look carefully again.
It's spring.
Are you doing alright? The plan we talked about last time is going well.
This center's director loves your research paper.
On top of that, the best reference letters came from New Zealand and Canada for you.
As soon as your probation is finished, if you send in an application,
The director will guarantee your fidelity to the terms of release and invite you.
Don't reject this, Kang Soo Jin. This is the last opportunity.
I can't make another one now.
Heon Joo Hair Salon
It's been a month already?
It's been 3 weeks at least.
People's hair grows quicker in spring you know.
I came because my hair looked messy. Really.
What can I do? She knows my hair the best.
Great.
Today... I have news I want to be congratulated for.
I... I get to go to Iceland.
Oh my.
My Sunbae (senior) persuaded the director there.
He translated the news articles and the trial documents.
The director thinks highly of my research paper,
And since my probation is over, the director will guarantee fidelity and invite me.
That's great.
You wanted to go so badly, didn't you?
For a long, long time, yes.
To a place that's so far away, so cold,
So high up,
I don't know why I so wanted to go there.
Congratulations.
I can tell what a valuable journey it will be to you, Soo Jin.
Your good wishes mean a lot to me too.
Thank you.
I know very well now that I didn't get there on my own strength.
Since the first time I saw you,
it was like I was looking at a rare bird that just flew into my sight.
I shouldn't go too near it or touch it,
I should just stay still and watch...
As that bird opens and stretches its wings again,
Before my eyes, when it flies far away from me... That moment,
Though it's sad, on the other hand, it's also good. That kind of feeling.
You know?
I believe it's okay for you to be happy now.
Don't leave anything behind and go.
With all your might, be happy.
Happiness...
I'm not sure.
I think it doesn't last long.
You can endure other times just for that brief happy moment.
To me, rather than happiness,
other things are more precious.
Do you mean Yoon Bok?
It's strange, isn't it?
Those painful moments with that child,
they are far more valuable
than the times I was happy with no worries.
I've been worried that you might not be able to leave,
Since a mother can't live her child.
Even you can't hold the child, your heart lingers around her.
Soo Jin.
Do what your heart tells you to do.
Just once...
I must see her with my own eyes.
Whether she's doing alright.
I should see her once.
I don't think I can leave like this.
Hye Na!
- Unni! - Noona!
Did you have a good time?
You know you are staying overnight at your new mom and dad's house, right?
- Hye Na. - How are you?
Here, let me take your backpack. Good girl.
Here..
- Thank you. Let's go. - Get in.
Excuse me.
By any chance... Are you Ms. Kang Soo Jin?
What's up with this? How could you come to school?
I'm sorry.
I wanted to see her just once.
Why? With what right?
Whether she's doing okay... I wanted to know.
She's doing very well.
My Hye Na, she's doing fantastic.
I'm sorry,
But who are those people from before?
Hye Na is going to be adopted.
Some really wonderful people want to become Hye Na's parents.
Why... Why are you sending her away for adoption?
There are 6 children at my group home.
They all ended up at my place with their own sad stories.
Everyone is like a child you know.
They smile, kid around, get scolded for making trouble,
But Hye Na is too good.
She's quiet. She doesn't make trouble.
She does everything on her own. She even clips the younger ones' fingernails.
She makes me sad.
I wanted to send her to a family where she could get a lot of love.
It was so hard for me to find her new parents.
They are far more prepared than you are, Ms. Kang Soo Jin.
So don't you worry and mind your own business.
I will report to the police if you come back.
Hye Na, try this.
I heard you like pizza.
This place's pizza is really good. It's real Napoli pizza.

We will meet again.
Just like Finger Grandma and I met again.
I mean... How many times Yoon Bok's guardian has changed then?
When she was a baby, her grandma. Then, her mom..
Soo Jin, you took her for a couple of months. She was at the welfare center for a few months too.
I thought she can finally settle down at the group home. But she's going away for an adoption now?
Isn't that too much for her?
For a child so sensitive like Yoon Bok.. Could she embrace all those mothers?
What about me adopting her?
I adopt her but you can raise her.
I don't think it's that simple. What would your husband say?
I don't think that's right, Yi Jin.
To be honest... I thought over and over again..
I looked into adoption myself.
You did?
When you got a restraining order, is that possible?
Since the probation (suspended imprisonment) is over, it might be possible.
I need to apply for a Simple adoption (not breaking up the child from the bio parents) though..
The most important thing is Custodian's Agreement.
I Yoon Bok's case, since her biological mother's parental rights have been taken away,
I'd need the group home mother's permission.
What else?
A stable job. Economic status. Nurturing environment. Motive in adoption.
Those things.. We can handle them together.
What about your criminal record?
That... It could be problematic for sure.
But still... I kidnapped "Yoon Bok" so
I might be able to explain the situation at the court.
Let's give it a go.
I will write a news article on this matter.
Even the mainstream media don't accept it, I will upload it on social media and explain your situation.
You sacrificed everything for Yoon Bok.
If someone were to adopt Yoon Bok, it must be you, don't you think?
Did you have a good time?
Oh my.
Oh, are you alright?
Wait, does Hye Na usually get carsick a lot?
No, it's strange. She never gets carsick.
Hye Na, are you okay?
Are you okay?
Are you scared?
Yes, I am.
But still.. You're going to do it, right?
For the last 2 years... I asked these questions myself so many times..
"If I were to go back and meet Yoon Bok again,
what would I do?"
"Would I run with her again?
I never said no to those questions.
But you know...
This time...
I truly want to do the right thing.
I want to succeed.
[Viki Ver] tvN E16 Mother -♥ Ruo Xi ♥-
What should I do?
Somewhere in the world, I feel like there must be a way
for Yoon Bok and me to become Mom and Daughter.
What could that be?
This is a notebook about everything.
Not about the things I like.
Not about the things I hate either.
Bye, Mom. My mom, the person whom I value and feel thankful the most.
Adoption Eligibility
Hye Na. Have you been outside?
Wait, you should've told Mom if you were hungry.
Kids that get rejected by their own parents..
They occasionally get Anorexia.
For them to survive, they need to eat.
They don't eat and keep vomiting.
That means they are rejecting the parents with their lives.
My baby... What should I do with you?
So, what's the probability for me to win the case?
Objectively, it's not that high.
Your criminal record could be most problematic.
This though... We will try to explain it while emphasizing the bond between you and Hye Na.
But by the way, while looking at the documents I have...
Your mother's situation was the same when she was trying to adopt you, Soo Jin.
Divorce, record for drunk driving... On top of that, being mentally unstable..
She had many conditions that were not in her favor.
But because she was so certain, she went for the second appeal
and she took you with her in the end.
Even at the court, it's people who make the decision.
Since you are already Hye Na's mother,
I think we can persuade them. Do you want to try?
A reflection statement, a petition..
I will get a new job.
I will do anything. Please help me.
I'm sorry but I'd like to accelerate Hye Na's adopting process.
Is there something wrong?
I don't think I'm doing Mom's role good enough for Hye Na.
Before adoption, maybe in a form of foster care...
Could you take her early and look after her?
Try catch me!
Wait up for me, Oppa!
I've warned you, haven't I? I said I'd report to the police if you come back again.
Ma'am.
I'd like to adopt Hye Na.
You were found guilty but you don't seem you've been reflecting on yourself after all.
Ms. Kang Soo Jin! You don't deserve to be a mother.
I don't want to know what you've gone through in your life but
parents must protect their children from their problems.
Hye Na had a really tough life.
Why does she have to go through that touch process because of you?
I'm sorry.
Hurry and get up. My kids are watching.
The most important things in raising a child for me are
1. Safety. 2. Safety. 3. Safety.
If a child is not safe, things like happiness or success don't matter at all.
You're right.
I'm reflecting on myself.
I'll make sure that won't happen again. I'll be careful.
Is it possible? A kidnapper adopting a child?
If you, her legal guardian, give your permission,
I could apply for the simple adoption.
What's going on with our laws?
Anyway, you can't do it if I don't give you my permission then.
- That's right. - You should give up then.
For Hye Na's sake.
I want to send Hye Na to a normal family.
But Ma'am, you're a mother too.
Please consider it just once.
People who become mother and child..
Can they part their ways?
Once people become mothers.. Can they just forget their child?
If you are a mom, you should forget, for your child's sake.
Mom!!!
Yeah.
Hye Na...
Has she ever called you Mom, Ma'am?
I was also adopted.
For me, it was so hard to
call my mom Mom. The person who raised me...
The one who gave me the warmest love..
It took me 30 years to call her Mom sincerely.
You love Hye Na. You worry a lot about her, don't you?
You know well what she's like, right?
Calling someone like me Mom.. From Muryeong to Seoul..
She takes the train by herself and comes to see me. She's like that.
I will do well.
"Mom", the name that is so heavy and scary.. I will do my best to take the name's responsibility.
You should go now. I want to give Hye Na a better mother than you.
Hye Na.
From now on, let's go to our house every weekend.
It takes quite some time to become friends with others for you, right?
It's the same for me. Let's take our time to become friends, shall we?

Well... I don't think I can do it.
What happened?
Don't take me with you.
I have a mom.
I like Hye Na but I think I'm making things hard for Hye Na.
Hye Na.
Who's your mom?
You told the new mom earlier that you have a mom, didn't you?
What's that mom's name?
Kang Soo Jin.
I see. Hye Na likes Mom Kang Soo Jin a lot.
But still.. The woman who will become your new mother, she's a really nice person too.
She's prepared a lot to become Hye Na's mother. Don't you want to go?
I want to just... stay here.
Why?
So you can wait for your mom?
You're worried Mom Kang Soo Jin might come back for you?
She gave the child a new name, Kim Yoon Bok.
Miss Kim Yoon Bok's case that eluded the police for 50 days
became an incident that brought deep attention to
child abuse that occurs frequently in our society.
On trial for enticing and kidnapping Kim Yoon Bok,
Kang Soo Jin in her final statement replied why would she talk to the police or the authorities?
to the question why had she not requested their assistance.
She said Hye Na needed immediate protection.
I hate repeating the things Hye Na had gone through over and over again.
Most of all, I wanted to, personally. As soon as possible,
as long as possible, I wanted to hold the trembling child in my arms.
If I were to go back to that same time,
I think I will end up running away again with her hands in mine.
Child Abuse, and its Aftermath
I will accept your request.
Thank you.
In return, you should never fail this time.
Hye Na's been really waiting for you.
She's never called me Mom.
I could tell she was always careful not to make incidents where she would need to call me Mom.
I guess I tried so hard to find her new parents because I couldn't stand that anymore.
I'm sorry.
Hye Na must understand you too, Ma'am.
She must have done that because she was so sorry.
Make sure you don't disappoint Hye Na again.
I don't think I could handle that.
Thank you so much. I will do my best to make it work.
Would you take Hye Na next weekend for 3 days?
Pardon?
She might get carsick so I packed some snacks.
Go say hello to your grandmother and
be sure to brush your teeth before you go to bed.
Okay.
Make sure you fasten your seat belt.
Thank you, Mom.
Mom. Where are we going now?
To the house where Mom and Finger Grandma lives.
Finger Grandma is your mom again?
Yes.
You must be happy.
Mom too.. I'm trying hard to become Yoon Bok's mom again.
Ah, right, Mom. We need to stop by somewhere.

Later, I want to become a chef who can cook delicious food just like you.
How can you make food this yummy?
The key is simple. You need to eat a lot of yummy food.
You should put on some weight. Eat a lot.
By the way, Yoon Bok. Didn't you say you wanted to become a barber before?
Not a bird researcher? You said you wanted to become one like me.
I want to do everything..
What do you want to become?
- I want to become a pianist like Mom. - I...
Dad. Just dad.
Great. Sounds good.
But I... I think I've already achieved my dream.
What is it?
Becoming Yoon Bok.
Pork cutlet. Omelet rice.
The kid that eats this kind of food every single day. With her family.
Unni. Shall we begin?
Let's do it.
Ms. Kang Soo Jin, you were adopted and raised by actress Cha Yeong Sin when you were little, correct?
Yes.
Did you kidnap the child because you were abused as a child? "Kidnapper Kang Soo Jin's Special Accompaniment"
Please say a few words!
There are people that believe
the only way to become a mother is through giving birth.
- Here? - Here. Let's put it here.
A woman becomes a mother,
when you give your entire self to another little being.
So... There must be many reasons. Hye Na's mom is not able to raise the child.
I need Hye Na and Hye Na needs me.
I think I easily accepted that special relationship.
All along, I thought I was my mom's biological daughter.
But my mom told me that she didn't give birth to me but she chose me.
Soo Jin, baby's here.
My mom said that means "the real daughter" to her.
That never more than the biological "real" daughter
was a feeling not to be taken lightly.
I believe that woman raised my Soo Jin
much better than I could have done.
I wasn't able to raise Soo Jin but when Soo Jin becomes a mother,
I want to be with her this time.
Probably, those times will become
a chance to heal my past life..
Hye Na is a child full of love.
Look at this. Hye Na wrote it. Don't send me away for an adoption. I have a mom.
She says she already has a mom.
That is Mom Kang Soo Jin. There is no parent who can win against her child.
I could do nothing but lose.
I believe that child can choose her parent too.
A while ago, Hye Na buried a secret box.
This is... my Mom Doll.
She buried, under the dark ground, the hope that Mom Soo Jin might come back for her.
This key too.. I buried it under ground.
Then not long ago while Kang Soo Jin was applying for permission to adopt Hye Na at Family Court.
she took the box out again.
Why do you want to become Mom Soo Jin's child?
Well.. Just because she's my mom.
Because she's my mom, the most valuable person and the person to whom I feel the most thankful in the world.
I'm just...
I'm just the same as other moms.
Just like moms giving birth to their child, that happened inside my heart.
I can sacrifice my life for Hye Na.
It feel as though we are connected in some way.
Maybe... I think a mother is born just as how a baby is born.
Mom. Are you really my mom now?
Yes, my daughter!
Mom. When you saw me for the first time, did you think I was pitiful?
No. I thought, "there is someone just like me."
I would've not written a letter to a dead duck either.
I thought you were pitiful.
Why?
Because you were scared of children.
You knew?
That night, when you gave me a book to read.
"When the birds start flying to Egypt, are they already in Egypt"?
I thought then.
If a child had a mom like you, how happy would she be?
I thought the same.
I knew you liked that book.
I also knew you really wanted to go look at birds.
So... I thought for the first time.
If a mom had a child like you, how happy would she be?
Everything feels like it happened a long time ago.
I didn't know what that meant then.
When the birds start flying to Egypt..
That they are already in Egypt?
Do you know what it means now?
While I was on the run with you,
I thought it wouldn't matter if I don't end up in Iceland.
When I was with you, Mom, it always felt like I was already in Iceland.
I want to write a letter. To old Hye Na.
What are you going to write?
"Hye Na, don't cry. You can become happy too.
I will hug you. I'm okay now."
Mom. Do you want me to hug you too?
Yes, please.
Are you now okay too, Mom?
Yes.
Mom's happy now.
In the past, Mom never once thought of becoming a mom.
I didn't know I'd be meeting my birth mother again.
I didn't know I'd be holding my mom who raised me without feeling sorry to her.
I'm really happy now.
Humans can have many moms after all.
Of course. Even I have 3 moms, including Teacher Glara.
Then... Hye Na's mom is also my mom, right?
Hye Na's mom.. Do you miss her a lot?
I don't remember the bad times because I'm not Hye Na anymore.
But... I hope Hye Na's mom will become happy too.
Because I'm happy now.
That's a relief.
It's a relief, isn't it?
That's right. Because we are happy now.
