I beg you.

For just one last time,

...let me play my role as a mother.

If you can't give me three days, give me two...

...I mean, even one day.

Please.

I met her in 23 years.

I met her since I last saw her when she was a baby.

Please give me some time to spend with Esol.

It's a present for you.

Oh! This is my favorite salted oysters with hot pepper.

I will have rice with this for dinner.

It arouses appetite.

Mom, marriage sure is good.

Who would've known he would buy this for the family?

Way to go, Minjoon! I want to get married too.

By the way, what happened?

You were supposed to join them and have fun there.

Why did you come back so soon?

Lena and Esol had to return to work.

My gosh. That's an awful job.

NBC has them at their beck.

Well, I will tell Esol to quit the broadcasting job.

Her fiance isn't incompetent. Why does she borrow trouble?

She doesn't. It's for her self-development.

Esol likes her job. I'll assist my wife like Minjoon.

Right. Ability is sexless.

It's only fair for a woman to have a career if she's able.

She doesn't deserve to marry if that selfish.

Are we a mediocre family?

Not only you but also Jaejoon have many responsibilities.

A surgeon deals with human lives but if Esol has job,

...how can she assist you well?

Mom.

I'll take care of this matter.

Just concentrate on your studies.

Right. Your mom already found a great place for you.

Yeah. It's a newly-built apartment. Very spacious!

Mom, Esol and I don't need a big house.

Actually, we made a decision...

...to hold a wedding and get a small house by ourselves.

Aren't they commendable? Let's trust them and watch.

Commendable?

Is it Esol's idea?

Did she ask you to lower the standard to keep her pride?

It's not that.

I asked her to do that since that's what I want.

So why?

You want it since you want to ease her mind.

She's just far from being enough.

Anyways, I'll take care of everything. Don't be stubborn.

Mom!

I'm sorry we couldn't have a drink with meat.

Dr. Seo, your coffee.

Thanks.

You have a surgery soon. Have your eyes wide-open.

Sure.

When is our vacation?

We are on-season now.

We'll have a get-together often instead.

Let's have a binge sometime.

Well, go up first.

Yes.

What are you doing here?

Did you come to see my wife?

I'm asking.

We need to talk.

Tell me. Why are you here?

Did you hear something from my wife?

Like what?

Of course, the reason you shouldn't marry Jaejoon.

Yeah? I cannot marry him?

Why?

Seems you really don't know anything.

I told her to tell you but...

I'm saying this out of concern for you.

Break up with Jaejoon.

The sooner the better.

Why, you don't believe me?

Even though you got his parents' approval,

...you can never marry him. Why?

Because your birth mom is...

Let me say my piece.

Since you don't want to be my father, I'll call you Dr. Seo.

What?

Didn't you tell me?

That my birth mom approached you for money...

...and had me to marry you.

Yes. So?

And that as you got married,

...she sold me to you at $10,000. Right?

Yes. That's true.

She was such a lousy woman.

Lousy?

Watch your language.

What you said to me was all a lie.

You know that and so do I now.

Why, you thought I couldn't find out forever?

You know what?

Now I've found out everything.

Like how despicable you are!

I don't know what you heard but...

You still don't know what you've done?

What did you say when my mom asked after me in 23 years?

You said I died when I am alive!

And what do you do now when I'm an obstacle to you?

You threaten my poor mom...

...and push her to ruin the life of her own child!

How could you do that?

You are the one to blame.

Had you not taken me from her,

...had you raised me or at least,

...had you not deserted my mom,

...we wouldn't have become like this.

I wouldn't have become like this.

So why? Why?

Why!

How dare you resent me?

Fine, let's say I abandoned you. Who's to blame for that?

I didn't intend to marry your mom from the first.

Yet, she gave birth to you at her will.

Why should I take the responsibility for that?

You think so?

You messed around with our lives, but you're saying what?

If you meddle in our lives once again,

...I won't just stand by.

Then, what can you do?

Right, there's not much I can do.

But at least, I can let the world know your true colors.

It'll ruin my life too but I'm not afraid of anything now.

Because of your wrongdoings,

...I have to give up my dearest one.

Don't you get funny with me!

Who do you think you are to threaten me?

Like mother like daughter.

You are inflictors and I'm a victim!

Got that?

You were wearing it when I took you from Dr. Seo.

With the needlework,

...I think your birth mom made it.

Although she abandoned you,

...she must've been thinking of you when she made it.

So don't hate her too much.

I still remember her face.

She had a small rounded white face,

...and she had beautiful eyes.

She was so docile and smiled even in her sleep,

...and gurgled at my voice.

I swore to myself I'll never think of her again,

...but as soon as I met you,

...you reminded me of her.

So...

If she were alive, she'd be at your age, right?

She would be this pretty, bright, and healthy.

If you want to protect your family, tell Esol quickly.

Yes, Ms. Jeong.

What happened to your voice?

Did you cry?

No, I was sleeping.

Is everything okay? Didn't Dr. Choi call you again?

No, I'm fine.

Don't meet her even if she calls you. Okay?

- Okay. - Esol.

I have a favor to ask of you.

Let's spend time together after a meeting tomorrow.

I want to finish my story. Is it okay with you?

Yes, sure.

Good.

I'll let you rest. See you tomorrow.

It's hot!

Yura.

You came home late last night. Where are you going so early?

I told you I run a business. Bye.

To hell with business. Be honest with me.

Where do you bum around?

I mean it. I'm making money.

I'm Madam President.

No more joke. You can't be running a business.

Gosh.

Mom, you earn money with a knife. So do I.

What? With a knife?

What do you do?

Run steak house.

Hey!

Bye!

Geez.

She's so...

What's wrong with my family?

Everybody is so uncooperative.

Headache.

There is good news though.

What good news?

I met Esol at the hospital lobby last night.

She knows Eunhye is her birth mom.

Wait. You met Esol?

At the lobby?

Didn't you call her and tell her who her birth mom is?

Great.

It fell into my lap.

What do you mean?

Now she'll have no choice but to give up Jaejoon.

I'm going to persuade Heera.

How?

You fell out with her.

Don't worry. I have ideas to change her mind.

Honey.

I found a perfect house available for Jaejoon.

I want to contract the house.

Already?

It's not too early.

It'll soon be a peak moving season. I'd better hurry.

I need money for a down payment today.

But Jaejoon has his own ideas.

He wants to take care of everything by himself.

So? Did you give him your OK?

He has the right mind set. Why would I oppose it?

Honey.

Let's just watch him. Let him fight his own battles.

Honey. How could you allow him to?

Are you going to just sit back and watch him face hardship?

What?

Ask people in the street.

No one would want to let his or her child suffer hardship.

Like you said, he has the right mind set.

Isn't it our duty as parents...

...to support him to concentrate on his studies?

Honey.

Think of how you were when Minjoon got married.

You wanted to buy him an expensive, newly-built house.

But you're so strict when it comes to Jaejoon,

...like discriminating against him, so I'm hurt.

Are you serious?

Discriminating? Who pushes around whom?

You are the one to discriminate against Minjoon,

...always siding with Jaejoon and speaking for him.

It's because he is still young and...

I know. And I understand.

It's natural since he is your own child.

But why do you think I discriminate my two sons?

Aren't they both my own children?

Or is there a reason you think I discriminate them?

If there isn't, let Jaejoon have his way.

Honey.

What's wrong with him?

What is it?

Well, it's been a long time since I saw you last,

...so I'm calling to say hi.

Is everything okay? No problem with Mr. Park?

What do you mean?

If you're curious, let's meet.

I have something to tell you.

You shouldn't be indecisive in relationships.

You and I parted ways. Don't call me again.

Heera.

Parted ways?

You got lost for a while but you'll get back on the rails.

Information Center>

Did I have spermatic varicocele at that time?

Not every man with that disease is infertile.

It's not easy but occasionally, you can conceive a baby.

Like Heera.

Then do you mean Jaejoon is my son?

Yes, he is.

Is this KGIC?

I want to request a paternity test. What should I prepare?

Congratulations!

You are pregnant.

Your husband must be happy that you got pregnant at last.

Heera, you have a visitor.

- Visitor? - Yes.

How rude of you to come to my house abruptly.

I'm sorry.

We've known each other for more than 30 years.

You might be able to cut me off easily,

...but I can't.

Even lovers can get a divorce.

We don't have a special bond with each other, do we?

Did you forget?

We have shared a secret,

...dreamed the same dream,

...and we've come this far to realize the dream.

Now that we gave it up, the relationship should be over.

Why can't you move on, lingering around me?

Because I need you.

But I don't.

I don't need you anymore.

Really?

You can't be safe without me.

If you're going to threaten me again...

No.

Even if I keep mum,

...you can't take the secret to the grave.

What do you mean?

Mr. Park already knows...

...that he is infertile.

What?

What are you talking about?

He asked me a few days ago if Jaejoon is really his son.

I made up a lie but...

...once a man breeds such a doubt, it doesn't melt away.

He'll certainly get out to the grass roots.

Perhaps, he might've already requested a DNA test.

So why did you have to wag the tongue in my ward?

Didn't I say your tongue can bring evil and even death?

I hate the sight of you. Get out.

Your presence itself is disgusting. Get out now!

Heera, calm down.

Did you forget we've overcome a lot of difficulties?

We can get over this too if we join hands.

How?

Like you said, men do not let it pass once they have such doubts.

So how?

That's why I came to give you the info.

What?

If you know your enemy and yourself, you are invincible.

Now you know his next move. Hedge against it.

Isn't it a piece of cake for you to deal with him?

Okay.

Rein your tongue and go back.

I can't go back empty-handed.

I want to be promised something in return.

Promise?

If Jaejoon breaks up with Esol,

...let's start all over again.

You're really persistent.

Tomorrow is the meeting between the two families.

That'll never happen. So just give up, okay?

It doesn't hurt to give your word.

If they really marry, I'll give up. So just promise me.

Hyejin.

I'll leave with your promise then.

Tomorrow,

...everything will be over.

Wait.

What do you mean?

You know something I don't know, don't you?

Of course.

Once Esol leaves Jaejoon, I'll tell you everything.

Just mind Mr. Park for today.

Don't forget. We are like two sides of the same coin.

What a surprise.

She came to work earlier than us.

Oh, my back hurts.

Now it feels better.

Hi! Good morning!

What's wrong with you?

You always goof around but you're doing the cleaning?

I'll do it.

Wait.

Mr. Hur, for the classy atmosphere of the restaurant,

...use the standard language.

What are you talking about?

Some regulars come here to hear my dialect.

Right. You just don't know how amiable his dialect sounds.

Ms. Gu.

For the classy atmosphere,

...how about changing your hairstyle?

Like straight bobbed hairstyle.

Boss, what about me?

What should I do for the classy atmosphere?

Change your name.

"Youngu" sounds too countrified.

I'll give you an English name.

Like James? Charles?

Yeah, Charles. Okay?

You're going too far.

Then what am I supposed to do?

Should I shed pounds?

Since that's impossible, just stay in the kitchen.

That's a well-meant idea but don't try to change too much.

We are known for a nice atmosphere.

Right.

Really?

Then I'll take time to think about it.

We're going to promote our restaurant this week.

Eunsol, Charles said you can shake a wicked leg, right?

Join me to take the lead.

Take the lead? How?

Hello! Our restaurant has changed hands.

Welcome, classy customers! We love you!

To the classy-chassy restaurant, here we go!

One, two, three, four!

Eunsol is so...

Which would be better,

...our breakup or Jaejoon's breakup?

What the heck are you talking about?

That cannot and should not happen.

Hi, Ms. Jeong.

Hi. You're a bit late.

I had something to think about.

Something happened? You look gloomy.

I've sorted out my thoughts.

We're going to spend the day together, right?

Where shall we go first?

Let's go out.

There's something I want to do for you.

Find these dresses in the right size for Esol.

Okay.

Ms. Jeong.

Now you're a public figure.

Your appearance is as much important as your ability.

Mind the way you're dressed to be successful.

Esol, come with me, please.

Go get changed.

Okay. I'll change quickly.

How do I look?

Hold on.

You have a nice smell.

What smell?

Just a nice smell I can never forget.

Really.

Try on other dresses.

Okay.

Where are we going to go now?

Is there any place you wanted to visit? I'll take you there.

Aren't you tired? You're pregnant.

Not at all.

Thank you for accepting my presents cheerfully.

I will treasure your presents for a long time.

Oh, I have something to show you.

What is this?

Your old pictures!

This is what you looked like.

So adorable!

My family. You saw my mom the other day.

Although she didn't give birth to me,

...she gave me abundant love like a real mom.

My sister loves and cares about me so much.

I've never felt lonely or sad while growing up.

If my birth mom is worried about me somewhere,

...I want to let her know...

...that although we couldn't live together,

...I haven't had heartache but lived happily.

And that I don't blame her...

...so she doesn't have to worry about me.

Ms. Jeong,

...didn't you ask if I have any wish?

I have one wish.

I'd like to have your food.

You can make me delicious food, right?

Dr. Park.

One sec, please.

Father. Hi!

You're studying so hard that you didn't hear me come in.

I have a surgery soon. Have a seat.

Yes.

I came to see you as well as to get my check-up result.

The doctor scared me off to come in person.

Actually, I checked the result in advance.

You have heart trouble and abnormal blood pressure.

Is something getting you down?

No. I think it's caused by age.

By the way, your mom is worried about you.

Don't be stubborn. Listen to your mom.

That would be a win-win.

Father, I do appreciate your warm heart.

You've done enough for me, raising me till this day.

Now it's my turn to be good to you.

And just like you, I want to be better off on my own.

You can help me later in case I fail.

Take good care of your health and stay by my side for a long time.

So you can see my children do cute things.

Jaejoon, something's troubling my mind.

I have niggling doubts about someone...

...so I got to hate that person.

It caused me distress.

Who is that person?

Well, I cannot tell you.

Doubting is worse than MERS.

It'll only make your hatred toward him or her grow worse.

If I were you, I'd rather verify the truth.

Then you can either forsake or forgive that person.

You think so?

Yes. Who is that person?

Excuse me.

Father, I think I should go. Will you walk out with me?

No, go ahead. I'll take my time.

Then see you at home.

I'd rather verify the truth.

Then you can either forsake or forgive that person.

It's time for him to come. Prepare for side dishes.

Yes, ma'am.

Oh my goodness.

They're so colorful, looking great.

I made buckwheat noodles Taesoo likes.

It's good for blood pressure,

...and hopefully, it'll make him feel relaxed and happy.

He should be thankful to have a wife like you.

Look at other wives at your age.

They quit keeping house and go around playing golf.

But you always try to humor him and care about him.

Mom, he's in a bad mood these days. So be careful.

Ha. Bad mood?.

I'm home.

Hi. Wasn't it hot?

Hi, Taesoo.

Give it to me.

It's okay.

Will you eat first or take a shower first?

I'll take a shower first.

My. He's as cold as an air-conditioner.

He's a cold fish.

Information Center>

we arranged a paternity test.>

Honey, dinner is ready. Come out for dinner.

Okay. Go before me.

Your noodles are going to get soggy Come on.

Good.

I think something's still missing.

Oh, right! Oyster sauce!

What are you doing when we're closed?

You came just at the right time.

Remember beef stew noodles in Kaohsiung?

How about selling them as a summer special menu?

Special menu when we have more than enough menus?

We can't make pots of money then.

We need a differentiated service.

Why are you so after money?

Is your family in financial straits?

Yes but there's a more important reason.

What is it?

I will make a lot of money...

...and open our second location for Ms. Gu.

I will repay her on behalf of my dad.

Yura.

Aren't I awesome?

No, don't fall for me even though I'm awesome.

I'm already married.

To whom?

To my job.

Oh, give me a break.

Can you taste this?

Sure.

Are you okay?

Why are you doing this to me?

What did I do wrong to you?

Does it taste that strange?

Let me see.

It's terrible!

How come all my clothes look so tacky?

If I show up in this attire,

...my in-laws will ignore me, right?

Why yes. All your clothes are cheapies.

Let's buy ourselves new clothes.

I don't have a stitch to my back either.

It'll cost money.

Even if we are dressed up, we won't look rich overnight.

Let's dress ourselves neatly.

Mom, I think marrying into a rich family isn't always good.

We have to worry about even the smallest things.

And when Esol is married,

...perhaps, we can't see her as often as we want to.

I know.

Maybe I can't take care of her baby either.

Eunsol, but I'm so happy...

...that she marries her love after all those difficulties.

Yangsoon, you have a VIP guest.

Hi, Mother.

What brings you here at this hour?

Esol isn't home.

I came to see you.

Me?

Yes.

Please accept this.

Why are you giving me this?

I saved some money.

It's a little left over after I got a rent. Use it for Esol.

No way.

I can't accept it. Take it back.

Please, Mother.

I gave you much trouble.

I don't want to make you worry over a trousseau.

So please.

Still, how can I accept this money?

I feel guilty about giving Esol such a hard time so far.

No, I can't accept this. I can't.

Well, Yangsoon. Just take it.

You were always worried about preparing her dowry.

Just take it and treat him well later.

Right, Mother. Please accept it.

Then I'll discuss with Esol.

Well, thank you for taking care of us.

Guess you heard from Esol how she grew up, right?

She had a lot of heartache.

Take good care of her and heal her. That's all I wish.

Sure. Don't worry, Mother.

I'll become a good husband and good son-in-law.

Yes, good.

What a nice picture.

Thank you.

Thank you for waiting so long.

This is what I wanted to make for you. Go ahead.

It's good.

What is this?

My mom's specialty, squid chopped noodles.

My mom sold noodles in the market...

...to feed and clothe me and send me to school.

Have hot noodles!

Enjoy it.

Maybe life was so hard for her,

...so she always harped on,

"Soojeong, don't live like me when you grow up."

"You should be treated well, command other people.

Go up in the world and make all the land you walk yours."

I think she loved you so much and had high hopes for you.

How come she committed a crime?

Don't ask. I don't even want to think about it.

What's clear is that she abandoned me for her sake.

And that blood runs in my veins.

You never asked me today...

...why I wanted to spend the day with you.

Aren't you curious about what I didn't say at the temple?

I wanted to spend time with you to say that.

What I'm going to say now...

I hope you'll listen to me even though it's hard for you.

Esol.

Ms. Jeong, let me tell you something first.

After I paid a visit to Jaejoon's family, I've thought a lot.

And I made a decision.

I will not marry him.

I mean it.

What's the reason?

I don't love him enough to marry him.

I am still young and there are so many things I want to do.

I don't want to be fettered by marriage.

So I'm going to tell Jaejoon and both families.

I'm sorry to disappoint you when you helped me.

It's okay.

Actually, I felt the same way.

Now when you're building experience for success,

...marriage can be an obstacle.

All right then.

Now that you chose a different path, commit yourself to it.

Okay.

You know, I'm always on your side, right?

Although you gave up marriage, I'll help you in any way I can.

Did she get the sense of something?

No, that's impossible.

No one told her, so how could she know it?

No, that's impossible.

If Esol marries Jaejoon,

...your happiness is bound to be broken.

What brings you here at this hour?

I missed you so I came.

What were you thinking so seriously?

I can't get rid of what Dr. Choi said.

If Jaejoon marries Esol...

Leave the matter to them.

She said it has something to do with us.

We can protect our married life ourselves.

So don't bring it up again.

Honey, as I lived,

...I always resented God.

Nothing was on my side, not even my parents.

But things changed after I met you.

Now, whenever I'm in crisis, I feel like God helps me.

Perhaps, he is going to compensate me for my hardships.

Let's cherish each other more and...

...live happily with Hope. Okay?

Are you looking for coins on the ground?

Aren't you asking why I'm here?

What are you doing here?

This is my in-laws' house. I came to pay a visit to them.

Like love me, love my dog.

It seems you had a long day. Look tired.

I'll cheer you up. Hold on.

Tada! This is our house.

Since you want a house with a big kitchen, I got dibs on it.

Let's look around together tomorrow.

Take a look.

This is the master bedroom, this is the kitchen.

...and we can use this as a dressing room or nursery later.

And here, we can grow herbs.

Esol, what's wrong?

Why, are you afraid to get married?

Everything will be okay. Don't worry.

I'll be good to you and make you happy.

Stop playing with water and go in!

You'll get your clothes wet!

Oh. Are you okay?

Excuse me.

Yes. How can I help you?

Is this Eunhye Orphanage?

It was. Now it's Angel Orphanage.

It's been in this name for about 30 years.

I'm relieved. I've got the right place.

What brings you here?

I'm looking for a person.

A person? Who?

This girl. I think she was admitted here around 1981.

Come on, come on.

All in.

All in.

Die.

Sorry guys.

Wow.

Wow, four aces.

Damn it!

What?

Did you steal Eunhye's Admission Record?

Who? Eunhye Jeong?

Why?

I need it now. Take a picture of it and send me.

Why do you need it?

What?

Someone's looking for her?

Who?

None of your business. Just send me the picture.

Aunt, get that person's number. I'll be there soon.

Bingo. I'm getting a good vibe.

I'm sorry. I can't find her admission record.

Really? I have to find her quickly.

Someone desperately needs to see her.

It's urgent.

Then leave your number. I'll call you when I find it.

Okay.

Please call me.

Esol, how do we look?

Do we look good enough?

Mom, you don't need to come. I'll go by myself.

What?

What are you talking about?

Why?

Wait. Is something wrong again?

Did they reverse their decision?

I'll tell you when I'm back.

What is it? Tell me.

Something happened, right?

Wait, I'd better come with you. I'll meet them and...

Please, Mom. I'll tell you everything later.

I'm sorry.

What the heck is going on?

You came early.

I need to settle a few things before others come. Sit down.

I should bring this up at the family meeting,

...but I don't want to bother Jaejoon so I'm saying to you.

Let me ask two things.

Well, it's not a request but an order you should follow.

First, quit the broadcasting job.

I don't like my daughter-in-law to be on everyone's tongue.

You can't rise to a high post with your poor backgrounds.

You'd better go to college...

...and finish it to fit in with Jaejoon.

The other is,

...don't instigate him to start from the bottom.

You may be comfortable with it but my son isn't.

I'll take care of everything like a house and furnishings.

All you have to bring is your resolution.

A resolution to devote yourself to your husband.

Why don't you answer?

When an elder tells you something, you should answer.

What's this attitude?

You can't do as I tell you?

Mother.

I can't marry Jaejoon.

I mean, I won't.

[Subtitles provided by MBC]

[Preview]

I can't understand.

There's a reason I don't know, right?

Aren't you relieved to shake off such a lousy girl?

What's your real intention?

Isn't there other reason?

Like you said, I'd better not marry a man out of my league.

So I feel lighthearted.

Is she your mom?

Esol knows everything, but for me, she...

Honey. My tummy hurts.

What's wrong? Are you okay?

My tummy...

No. There must be other reason!

I will find out what it is.
