Hello.

This is Kang Jun Woo.

What?

Yes. Yes, I know.

Ahjussi, this is my third time making it, help me test it.

Jin Joo.

Hurry.

Good news. I think we've might've found a way to find your father.

Are you okay?

It's nothing. What happened? What do you mean by finding my father?

Jin Joo, first calm down.

Yeah, tell me quickly. What do you mean?

Do you remember?

While we were searching for your family,

didn't the instructor tell you to appear on a TV show?

Yeah, and so?

Jin Joo, we can finally go on that TV show.

TV show?

Go on a TV show?

There are TV shows that help you look for your family,

Like how, someone loses their mother at the train station 10 years ago.

If anyone knows anything about it, just contact them.

So I took the chance and secretly applied for Jin Joo.

They just called and wanted her on the show.

Since the TV show is for public, things will get easier.

But doesn't that show want the whole family to go on the show?

That's why we're discussing it.

Jin Joo isn't from here.

I was hoping that our family can help her.

Of course I'll go, but Mother... Father...

Do you really have to blow things out of proportion?

They didn't guarantee that they would find them,

our whole family going on the TV show, isn't that just a bit too much.

Also don't you have to go to work soon.

Won Mi and Sae Mi are also getting married soon, other people will spread rumors.

That's right. Just like how people gossip when they hear about men getting married off to brides from the Southeast.

Even if it were you, my brother, getting married like that, people will find it weird.

Unni, didn't you lie to the neighbors and your friends,

that Jin Joo is a Korean American.

If were to go on the show, the lie would be over.

Aunt.

Even if your heartbroken, I'm against having the whole family going.

You too. That's why you shouldn't give Jin Joo too much hope.

Even if her father saw the TV show, who can guarantee that they will reunite.

I understand, I'll take care of it.

Mom, I'll be able to see Father soon.

Just wait a little longer, just wait...

Are you looking at your father's picture?

Yeah, I want to bring on the TV show,

that way my father can recognize me.

Alright, we'll give it our all.

I'm sure something good will happen.

So, are we just going to let Jin Joo go on by herself?

What else can we do?

I know it's harsh, but I don't like it when people gossip about my children.

What are you talking about?

Am I wrong?

Why would Jun Woo get married with a Vietnamese person?

Lately, has he be sick in the head?

You.. really. Why is it important so much to you what others think?

Why isn't it not important? It's not just about my life.

Also, our Jun Woo...

he has always been slow. I don't want people to say bad things about him.

You're really...

Even if you say I'm cruel, it's the truth. What am I supposed to do?

You look very pretty, but why are you wearing it today?

Because it will be easier for my father to recognize me.

Everybody says I look just like my mom when she was young.

Everything will be alright.

Just the thought of my father looking at me is making me nervous.

Hello everybody, your watching "Searching For Faces We Long For"

First, let's introduce our first guest.

Today, there's a special story waiting for everyone.

Jin Joo has come far from Vietnam to Korea to look for her father.

Born in Ho Chi Minh, 1986, Jin Joo's Vietnamese mother

and Mr. Kim who worked for a company in America was born.

Jin Joo, how old were you when you and your father were separated?

When I was one years old, my father went back to Korea.

He said he was going to come back, but he didn't.

This is my father.

This picture from 20 years ago is becoming a little yellow.

Jin Joo is here with her husband today.

About half a year he came back to Korea, did he send any money back?

Yes, this is the address.

We went there before,

but the address already changed so we couldn't find him.

Really? That's too bad.

If he's watching this show right now,

my wife has always been looking for you.

So, please contact us.

Jin Joo, your father might be watching right now. Please say something.

It's alright, you can say anything.

Yeah... that...

Looks like she's still nervous because her father might be watching.

Let's help her with a little applause.

Father...

I've never called you that before. I never thought I'd call you that.

I'm Jin Joo.

I saw you when I was one year old. Time has passed and now I'm an adult.

I'm even married to a Korean man.

I don't even remember what you look like.

Even though we meet, we wouldn't know each other.

Even if it's like that I still want to see you.

I think I know what my father is like, even if I don't know him.

You still remember me, right?

When I was little you would sing me lullabies

and you gave me the name Jin Joo.

Didn't you promise you'd come back?

My mom is still abiding that promise.

Even if you're really busy, even if you have another family

please remember that you have a daughter trying really hard to find you.

Even if it's only one time, please meet with me.

My mom is really sick now, in the next two years she might even go blind.

Mom's wish is to see you, when she still can see.

Unni.

Mom's been waiting for you her whole life.

Before mom loses her sight, please meet her once.

She won't hate you...

She doesn't wish for anything else. Even if it's only one time, please let us meet.

I'm begging you. Please, Father, I'm begging you.

Please, please...

Please, Father. Please.

I'm begging you again, I really want to go to Korea.

I want to get married.

My mom is really sick now,

in the next 2 years she might even go blind.

Are you grieving because of Jin Joo?

I didn't even know about those things.

Looks like I've grown old without learning how to think of others.

You can just treat her better from now on.

It's time to go home.

Is there still no contact?

Looks like you really miss your mom.

Do you want to call her?

Don't you have to call Dr. Kim to get through?

What's wrong?

If I hear my mom's voice, I'll just miss her even more.

It's better to write letters,

just looking at my mom's writing...

I can tell how well her eyesight is.

Let's wait a little longer, there'll be a good news soon.

Yes.

Kang Jun Woo, are you still at the TV station?

What is it?

There was a phone call before.

They said they've been to Vietnam before.

Really?

The person said that they saw the show.

We received a phone call from someone who lives in Sokcho.

Sokcho?

I'm pretty sure it's her. She's the owner of NamMoon Store.

What did she say? Did she say she knows my father?

Yeah, you guys can meet and then talk about it. This is her info.

Ah, yes.

Thank you. Thank you.

[Jung Ock Beun]

Did the meeting just finish?

Yeah, this is today's results from the meeting.

Has the company responsible for this department decided yet?

Yeah, the BOD company came out as the winner.

BOD company?

It's a Korean company from Ho Chi Minh, Vietnam.

Whether it's products or the people that work there, they are amazing.

No, we can't.

But if we want to lower our expenses...

Listen to what I say, no for Ho Chi Minh.

Choose another company.

Mother, what do you think?

It's pretty. Turn around.

It really suits you.

This outfit and those outfits, let her try them on.

Yes, please come over here.

Wait.

Oppa.

Wow, so beautiful. The results aren't bad.

What are you taking pictures of that's making you work so hard?

It's a secret.

Oppa loves to take pictures.

Really? He even told you that?

There's no secret between us.

We need to go shopping together more often.

OK, you can tell me more about Young Soo.

I'd really like to.

My mother and my sister-in-law's relationship is really good.

I'm really envious.

Okay, then let's do it.

Your mom's probably really disappointed.

She could have lunch with us.

Going shopping with her is already enough respect.

Do you want to have a look at the pictures?

Wow.

Wow, you have so much feel for your pictures. This is a new side of you.

My dream used to be a fashion photographer.

Really? Then why are you in charge of management?

My dad wants me to.

Those with family usually have a career in management.

You already have money. He should have let you do what you want.

Oppa, are you sad?

Normal people don't understand what artists have on their minds.

I think I understand because I'm a performer.

If you need someone to talk to, you can always tell me. I'll help you whenever you need it.

Really?

Then let's leave right now.

Where?

There's too many people here, how can we take nude pictures.

Oppa!

How is it?

It's not too sweet. The chestnuts smell sweet and the taste is good.

If that's the case, then that person will be satisfied.

Thanks for the effort, please wrap this up nicely.

I understand.

It's me, I'm heading off to Grandma's. You're coming along with me, right?

Okay, I got it. Then I'll see you there.

Last time, Grandma, you said I couldn't handle it within 3 months, right?

Do you know why?

Of course.

Even if it had your name on it, if the quality isn't good

and the first 2 months were sold out,

the results would be that the consumers would give up, right?

Your guess is right, and so?

This cake, the quality of it, even if it's you grandma or consumers they would be satisfied.

Really?

Who made this?

It's a head chef who wants to start his own dessert business.

Amongst all the candidates, he was the best.

How about the ingredients?

All of them are good.

It's high-grade rice, Choongju chestnuts, high-quality pine nuts.

And so, how much does this cost?

Is it 10,000 won?

What?

If the price isn't settled, how can you still do business?

Do people with a M.B.A. (Master Of Business Administration) degree play Go-Stop* to settle things? (*a card game)

Ji Young worked so hard to do this.

She definitely won't bring down your reputation.

Can you help us just this once?

You still won't shut up?

She doesn't even know the basics!

How come you never think about doing things yourself

and stop asking other people to help you?

If she wants to live like a parasite, tell her to quit everything and be a good wife to you!

then I advise you to give up doing business and be a person that calculates everything.

You're really... you're going overboard.

I don't want your help anymore.

Also, to be honest, Grandma might seem like she knows a lot,

but from what I see the cake is just normal. There's nothing special about it.

Ji Young.

Yeah, she can't even tell the difference in cakes, how can she even start a dessert business.

Ah, it's so far.

Hello, who is it?

Hello. We called you after receiving the memo from the broadcasting station.

Ah, I know. It's the Vietnamese bride looking for her father?

Are you the lady from Sokcho?

Yes, I am.

What is she saying? Is it her?

Then, do you happen to know Jin Joo's father?

Ahjumoni*, can you please tell us. (*formal term for 'ahjumma'/older lady)

You probably saw the show too, you know how urgent we are.

Ahjumoni, please help us.

If you know where he is please tell us. Ahjumoni.

OK, I do know.

It's a long story, let's talk when we meet.

The location's already changed twice. What's there to hesitate about?

What did you say? She doesn't know anything about my dad?

No, I'm pretty sure she knows something.

She wants us to go to her place.

Really? Ahjussi, then let's go. Let's go right now.

It's late now, if we go a day later, nothing is going to change.

Tomorrow morning, we'll go straight there.

Are you that happy?

Yeah, I can finally see my father.

Sister-in-law, mom's calling you.

Oppa, you too.

Me?

Did you call for us?

- Yeah. - Have a seat.

Sorry, for going against you on going to that TV show.

But I can't just let her go by herself.

I'm sorry, Mother.

Pick it up.

Hello? Hello.

Jin Joo? Jin Joo?

Jin Joo!

Mom?

Yeah! Jin Joo, it's mom.

Mom...

Don't cry. Jin Joo, Mom's doing good.

They take good care of me and the business is doing okay. Everything's OK.

Alright. I'm going fine too. Yeah... yeah...

Mother-in-law is good to me, everyone else is good to me too.

Tell your mother that you'll find your father soon.

Mom, there's good news. We've almost found him.

What?

Are you telling me the truth?

Yes, Mom. I'm telling the truth.

I'll find him, wait for me.

Great!

Jin Joo, thank you.

Tell Kang Jun Woo that I'm so thankful to him as well.

Mom, you have to take care of yourself.

You have to take good care of your health.

You too.

Have you guys almost found him?

Ah, that's good. That's great.

I wonder how's he doing, he must recognize you once you see him.

That's great.

Mother, thank you.

Why didn't you tell me earlier about your mom and your past?

I was afraid that you guys would worry.

That's right, you have to grab hold of the time to find your father. Be strong.

Yeah. Jun Woo,

it's time for us to show our gratitude. You have to help Jin Joo find her father.

I will, don't worry. I hope we can find him this time.

Really? That's good.

Jin Joo, you must be happy.

The floors about to collapse, is there something wrong?

Dong Gu says he's given up on me.

Really? Isn't that good?

Unni, now you have the chance to look for a rich person.

Silly girl, what are you saying.

I'm telling you the truth, don't you know Mom really likes Young Soo?

Didn't you see how happy she was holding the scarf all night?

This is my first time giving my respect.

Yeah, you do respect our parents but I don't.

Give the dentist a call, quickly. I'm leaving.

I want to meet you for the last time. Let's meet on Saturday.

Meet for the last time, what does he want to say?

Look at you, you got skinnier. You're like a stick.

Don't worry, Mom. I'll give it my best.

Really? You're giving up on that girl?

See, I told you. Go see the barber ahjumma's daughter.

No.

Hey, she's not like normal girls.

She has a good temper and she can do chores.

I'm pretty sure she has about three deposit books too.

She's also a office-bearer.

I don't want to find a strong women in society.

I will find someone whose about the same level as me.

That's right! A girl about the same level as you.

Quickly, look over there.

What?

It's delicious.

Hey! Where are you going?

Your already out here, go greet her.

Ah, fine. Mom, this one won't do.

Wait, you idiot.

Although it's true, she's a little chubby.

Why isn't he here when he already made reservations?

Maybe... is he trying to take revenge by standing me up?

Heo Dong Gu.

May I sit here?

Are you shocked?

Why are you here?

Did you come alone?

If you are looking for Dong Gu he won't be coming.

What?

Few days ago, Heo Dong Gu came to see me.

Dong Gu did?

Hurry and tell me why you came.

I have to go into surgery soon.

You know Kang Won Mi, right?

She is really a good person.

Don't loose her. Hold onto her.

Who are you and why are you telling me this?

I liked Won Mi for a long time, one-sidedly.

I love her a lot now too but I'm no match for her so I'm sending her to you.

Won Mi likes you too so see her again.

I'm asking for a favor.

Dong Gu really said that?

Won Mi. If that happened to you, you should have told me earlier.

Why did you endure it alone?

Let's speed up our wedding.

I'll postpone my departure and we can leave for Michigan in October.

Here you go. Eat a lot. I even bought chicken for you too.

Thank you.

Why did you buy that for? Even cold rice is a waste to give him.

Hey, ahjussi.

What?

Nevermind. Let's eat.

This looks good.

Oppa, try some of this chicken.

This was baked so there is no oil.

Oh this rolled egg is...

Unni, the rolled egg is good.

Byuk Soo, where are you going? Finish your lunch.

Madam, I don't have any appetite.

- Hey, Ahjussi, eat more. - Don't worry.

Why are you treating Byuk Soo like that?

Because his heart is darker then a soft coal.

Arranged marriage...

I can't believe he is making me a scapegoat in a arranged marriage...

Aunt, stop watching dramas.

Stop it.

Did Jun Woo and Jin Joo go to Sokcho?

Yes, they went early in the morning.

I hope they can meet him this time.

What are you mumbling?

Oh, nothing.

It's the lullaby that your father sang to you, right?

Deungdaejigi (lighthouse keeper)

Aunt wrote down the lyrics for me.

When I meet my father, I'm going to sing it to him.

Try singing it.

I'll see if you are right.

No, I don't want to.

I know you are tone deaf so just sing it.

Fine, you have a big arm.

Sing it.

How are you doing, ahjumoni.

Can I ask you something?

Is there a Jung Ock Beun?

Are you from Seoul?

Yes.

Is this Jin Joo?

Yes, I am. Hello.

You came a long way. So have a drink.

Thank you.

Why are you looking at that?

It's a picture of my husband.

Is this my father by any chance?

No, it's not.

Your father is somewhere else.

He just sent the money.

Money?

Then, where is my father? Where can I go to meet him?

Well, that is...

Ahjumoni, tell us everything you know.

Then promise me one thing.

After you hear everything, don't blame my husband.

Okay. Everything is fine so tell us everything.

Then I'll you what happened.

20 years ago, when we had the NamMoon store,

since my husband went to Vietnam, often he came every month,

and asked if my husband can mail some money for him.

And that he had family in Vietnam.

And then?

After 6 months...

Your father came up to my husband and said he's very sick and doesn't have much time left.

He gave my husband a bundle of money and asked him to give it to your mom.

But then... then...

What happened?

That bastard lost all the money with gambling!

After that, he got scared, so he sent back all the letters that came from Vietnam.

My husband is dead so there is no point of blaming him now.

I'm sorry. I wasn't going to call you because I didn't know how to face you.

But your story was so sad...so...

Then what happened to my father? Where is he? Where can I meet him?

I don't know.

It was a long time ago and after that he hasn't visited once.

We've lost contact but isn't it obvious?

Back then he said he won't be able to live long so...

That's not possible! It's not possible!

My father is still alive. He has to be!

Jin Joo! Jin Joo!

Can I confirm something?

Is this the person that asked you to send the money?

Well... my goodness, it's been a while so.

It looks like him, but then, it doesn't...

Is there anything else you remember about him?

His name or where he lived?

Oh yea! He said he was a butler at a popular restaurant in Seoul.

He came to our store to buy some ingredients and that's when he asked my husband.

What is the name of the restaurant?

I don't remember the name but the owner is pretty famous.

I remember his face but why can't I remember the name?

Try thinking harder.

Do you think my father really died?

We will know soon.

Ahjumoni said she will find out where your father worked.

Then what do I do?

If my father really did die, what about my mom?

But we know one thing.

It's not that your father didn't go to Vietnam, he couldn't go even if he wanted to.

He worked hard to protect you and your mother to the end.

We know that.

Why are you not out with Sae Mi and eating at home?

Did you guys fight?

What do you mean fight?

She was so into me so I scolded her to study.

I know Sae Mi went to the MT.

How did you know, Mom?

I text messaged Sae Mi to see if we can go shopping and she was in Choonchun.

Did you guys already have a common-law marriage without me?

Give it to me.

- Is it yours? - Yes.

What are you looking at?

Aren't you envious?

Well...

I don't think babies are cute right now.

It will be different when we have our own baby.

What's going on? You suddenly asked me out to dinner.

I know both of us are busy but let's see each other once in a while.

I'm busy coming up with a new item after giving up the rice cake idea.

This is all because of your grandma.

Hold on. It's work.

If you keep doing this, I'll get mad.

I know.

I'm busy due to the meeting so let's eat fast. I'm hungry

Ahjumma, we are done with dinner so can you clean up?

Yes.

What is that?

It's the herbal tonic that you bought Ji Young last time.

I'm throwing it away because it's very old.

Then, she didn't drink any?

Yes, she didn't take any at all.

Hold on.

[Birth control pills]

She is really...

Why are you so in the mood today?

With flowers, candles and wine.

What should I do with you. Don't you know what today is?

What day is it?

Today is the day we met for the first time in Chicago.

Oh yea. I forgot. I'm sorry, Young Min.

I'm lacking capacity these days.

Present?

Do you like it?

I'll try it on now.

It's pretty.

Please, smile like that everyday.

It's not fun being attached to work everyday.

The important thing in life is not work or success but happiness.

I don't mind you working,

but don't be too anxious. Work while enjoying other things.

Young Min.

Do you know what is the best thing I did after I was born in this world?

Marrying you.

If I was to be reborn, I would marry you again.

That's completely the demon method.

Then, can I ask you for one favor?

Next year, let's celebrate this day with our baby.

Baby?

Promise.

Promise.

We're back.

Okay. Did you guys eat together?

Yes. Mother, did you have dinner?

Young Min, I need to see you.

What is it?

Did you guys plan not to have a baby?

Of course not.

Then what is this? I found it in your room.

Please, snap out of it!

If you keep doing things she wants to do, nothing good is going to happen.

Mother.

Am I wrong?

After you got married, is there one thing that you have gotten your way?

She got everything she wanted.

It only had been three months since you got married,

and her crazy mother came out of no where,

and asked for a house and money and turned the whole house upside down.

That woman sold the house you bought her and left with the money.

I won't say anything if it's just that.

Even if you opposed, she got her own way and started working.

Has she ever given up things for you or went along with one of your decisions?

She's doing this because you always give in to her.

I'm sorry.

Please snap out of it, Young Min.

I don't want to argue with her anymore.

What is the point of doing it?

I'm the one who gets upset and she doesn't do anything.

It's up to you now.

If you don't grab her, you are going to be dragged around like a puppet,

and it's going to end like that.

What pills are those?

They're vitamins.

Why did your mother want to see you?

It's nothing.

I was wondering why aren't we getting pregnant?

Why are you complaining about a baby all day?

Maybe you are not trying hard?

Maybe it's you that is not trying.

Of course not. I know that you are waiting for a baby.

It's normal if we don't pregnant within one year after we get married.

So don't worry.

I'm going to take a shower.

[Birth Control Pills]

Are you ready for work, Shil-jang-nim*? (*Director)

Stop calling me that.

Why?

I'm saying it so you can get successful fast and become a director.

I'm leaving to work.

Hold on.

There is one thing missing.

It's our wedding ring.

Wear this from now on.

I don't want too. I don't wear rings.

Why?

It bothers me and it's uncomfortable.

Is that the only reason?

What?

Is it because you are going to pretend to be single outside?

All right. I'll put it on. Satisfied?

Hold on.

If a pretty and smart Korean lady asks you, "Director, let's go have coffee together."

What would you do?

Jin Joo.

What would you do?

I'm sorry I can't. Satisfied?

What if a girl with no sense asks you, "How about a drink?"

What would you do?

I really can't. No. Satisfied?

Okay. Go to work.

Go back in.

Listen well to your boss and do well.

Mother.

Oppa, hold on. Cheese.

Why are you taking a picture?

We should celebrate a historic day like this.

Of course. You got a job in the unemployment era, so we are proud of you.

All right. Let's all take it together.

Gather around. Unni, too.

I'm taking it. One, two, three.

It's good.

I'll do my best and come back.

Have a safe trip.

Fighting!

Mom, you're happy right?

Yes, I'm happy.

Mom! Jun Woo has gone over the big mountain and walking on a new road.

When he goes on that road, he'll earn a lot of money and can become a high-ranking person.

Like Father who left us...

Everyone is happy but I'm worried.

I'm afraid that Jun Woo might get far away from me like Father.

What is it?

It's a sweet rice dish. It's the 4th rice cake I made.

It should be good.

What guts do you have?

What?

Guts?

Do you have to learn how to make rice cakes?

Yes, I have to.

What is the reason?

As you said last time you want to earn a lot of money and help your father-in-law's factory?

Yes. But I got a more important reason now.

What is it?

What is it?

Grandma, you know that my husband, Kang Jun Woo,

studied a lot and is a amazing person.

But I'm not.

I didn't learn a lot and I'm not smart.

So?

He got a job in a great company and he will become a great person.

Then, there will be a big gap between us.

I don't want to be like that.

So you want to learn something and be in the same rank as Jun Woo.

Yes. I want to learn it and the only thing I'm good at is rice cakes.

The way you think is admirable,

but I have no intention of teaching you.

Grandma.

Go somewhere else.

No matter how much you ask me,

I won't teach anyone unless they are made in Korea.

Hello.

[Why didn't you come yesterday?]

Why didn't you come yesterday?

I went to Sokcho to find someone.

[Your father?]

How did you know?

Did you see the show?

If my father was alive, he could have helped you.

Yes, that's right.

Thank you for caring though.

Sunbae.

How do you feel about your first day of work?

I'm still confused.

You know that we have a meeting with the Vice President tomorrow right?

He's known to be strict, so be aware of it.

I might have to stay up all night and prepare for the meeting.

With your skills, you will get the grasp of the business within one week.

You had that picture all this time?

Why? Does it bother you?

Have you not forgotten Ji Young sunbae?

It's not that I haven't forgotten her, it's uncomfortable.

Hold on.

Hello?

It's me, Ahjussi.

Can you talk right now?

It's fine. Did something happen?

No. I called to check if you're doing a good job at work.

I'm doing good so don't worry.

It's weird to be apart like this when we were together all day before.

What do we do?

We have to be like this everyday.

I know.

Oh yea, did the Sokcho lady call yet?

Not yet. Let's give it some time and wait.

Okay.

I love you, Director.

Chief.

[SoMang Foods Cha Byuk Soo.]

Hey... that is...

Here you go.

Should I wash it for you?

I'll... buy... buy a new...

Aren't you happy to see me after being apart all day?

No.

I missed you so much, I cried on the way here.

Isn't she the Sokcho lady?

I think I know who my father is.

I'm pretty sure it's this person.

I met my father's son at the shop.

Look at it carefully.

Your dad...

We can't be for sure that it's your dad.

I'm pretty sure Young Gi's dad is my father.

She is your sister that your dad left in Vietnam 20 years ago.

The relationship between a parent and their children is everlasting until they die.

Living frugally for the sake of money...

If that's true, then prove it today.

Prove it!
