- Hey, Mom. - Where are you?

I came to get coffee. Is vanilla latte okay?

Why’s he here?

- Ms. Lee, come this way. - Okay.

Favor? What is it? I’m coming up.

Why was she in there?

Is it good?

Yeah.

What’d you need me to do? I’ll do it.

Here. Could you give it back to him?

It’s from Youngguk but I can’t take it.

Words might go around if I go, I’m sorry to ask you.

Don’t worry, I’ll take care of it.

Where were you? Were you with Dr. Jang?

No… I got my DNA sample.

To register it with the police, just in case.

Good, that’s good!

Why didn’t we think of this earlier?

Do you think he registered too?

He might have no idea that he’s adopted or

He could be living abroad.

Things like that can’t stay as a secret…

Let’s hope that he’s registered and that he’s looking for you too.

What if he thinks he’s been abandoned.

He probably isn’t looking for me, I certainly wouldn’t.

He must be completely heartbroken.

I hope he considers his adopted parents his own.

Even if I can’t find him, I don’t want to hurt him anymore…

This is from my mom.

It’s ripped.

That wasn’t necessary.

She didn’t do that.

She wouldn’t want me to tell you but this caused a mess yesterday.

You had good intentions but it caused more misunderstandings for her.

I hope this never happens again.

What do you mean?

Tell me what happened.

Your wife and mother made a scene, it was humiliating.

Please don’t let this happen again, good-bye.

Looking for something?

A gift for my mother.

We’ve got lots of popular items for gifts.

How about this one?

How’d it go?

I explained everything, don’t worry.

What’s that?

It’s for you.

For me?

It’s for the Chinese New Year.

You didn’t have to.

You’ve been so down lately. Eat it all by yourself, okay?

Okay, my son.

You’re home early.

I have to take you to the hospital for your appointment.

And I also had to drop something off.

It’s a juice box today?

Goodness, what’s the occasion? It’s quite frequent these days.

The word must’ve gone around that I’m running as a district rep.

Those people are so quick, no wonder they’re successful.

Get rid of it before Geumja comes.

She’s busy in the kitchen, don’t worry.

Mother. Mother.

I brought you squash soup.

When’d you get in?

Just now. I had to take her to the hospital.

You’re right, you shouldn’t eat this then.

Of course, she can’t. Get ready.

Okay. I will.

Why was the door locked?

Locked? It wasn’t. Maybe by accident? I’ll wait outside.

Good. Can you give me a ride?

Shinae’s been hospitalized, I’ve got to see her.

Why’re you going there?

Because she’s our in-law. Give me a sec, I’ll get ready.

Wait for me.

I said don’t go, why do we care?

Open the door!

Stop the car! Manjong!

Manjong, stop the car, she’ll fall!

Manjong! STOP THE CAR! You’re a dead meat!

What are you doing? Making me run! Stop playing around!

What did you just say? Dead what?

I thought she said you’re a dead meat.

No, I didn’t say anything.

I’m visiting her as a friend, not as her in-law. Happy?

Wait…

… isn’t that Mr. Ma? Why’s she crying?

I know, something must’ve happened. Or someone’s sick?

You guys go ahead, I’ll catch up with you.

You’re going to see her? Think of what she’s done, let’s walk away.

That’s no way to treat another person. I can’t walk away.

I’m curious as to why she’s crying too.

Fine then. But make sure she apologizes about last time.

Okay, I will. You go ahead.

Excuse me… Mrs. Ma?

It is you, why’re you here alone? Are you okay?

My gosh… don’t cry. What’s wrong?

Your daughter’s sick?

What is it? It is big?

No… it’s not as bad.

Then that’s good. As long as it’s not cancer, it’s treatable.

Mrs. Ma!

I’m fine. I’m sorry about last time.

Don’t worry, it was our fault.

We’re grateful that you didn’t make it a bigger deal.

Why are you crying…

… you’re making me cry…

I’m sorry, Mrs. Cho. I’m being punished for all my wrongdoings.

Don’t say that, we’re all sinners after all.

No, it’s not true. Not true…

Mrs. Ma, stop it.

She wouldn’t stop crying… I felt so bad.

Her daughter must be really sick.

Must’ve been from the husband having an affair.

That must be it. What’s with him?

I heard that even the mistress was some weirdo.

No wonder she fell ill.

She wasn’t some weirdo.

How do you know?

Oh, I’m just saying… don’t be rude.

How can we not be? Look what she’s done to Mrs. Lee!

Why’re you so upset? Are you related to her?

What are you talking about?

- Bangshil Cho, come in. - Coming!

I’ll be back.

- We’ll wait out here. - Okay.

I’ll go see Shinae, call me when she’s done.

- Don’t leave me here, I’ll kill you. - What?

That useless wife…

[Yeonhwa Koh]

With a beautiful wife like that, what’s wrong with him?

Do you like it?

Yeah.

I was getting sick of the food here, thank you.

What are friends for.

Eat a lot and feel better quickly.

What if you have to get a surgery?

Then I’ll tell them no.

You have to listen to the doctor.

We’ll see.

I wasn’t going to tell you…

… but Gangho Group’s wife is hospitalized here too.

I think she must’ve gotten sick from all the rumor of affair.

You shouldn’t see him anymore. He’s married.

You believe in karma, right?

I don’t see him anymore.

Good, eat some more.

What’s taking them so long?

Hey, Jangmi.

Oppa, I’m about to leave. Where are you?

I’m at the office, I’m running a bit late.

Okay, take your time. How about Chorong?

She’s getting a ride from school.

Could you take care of her? I’ll let them know.

Okay, I will.

Chorong!

- Unni! - Chorong!

- Good-bye, Ms. Kim. - Bye, Chorong.

Daddy will be here soon. Want to wait in the car?

But I have to pee.

You do? What do we do… where’s the bathroom?

There isn’t one, can I go home?

Home?

Give me a sec.

Yeah, Jangmi. Did you pick her up?

Yeah, she needs to go to the restroom, are there any?

Not around there.

Unni…

She needs to go badly.

Then just take her home.

Home?

No one’s home, I’ll be there soon.

Okay, I will.

Chorong, he’ll be here soon. Let’s go in.

- Where’s the bathroom? - Over there.

Go, hurry.

- You feel better? - Yeah.

- Now I can breathe. - What?

You waited that long? You’re all grown up!

Unni, I’m really cold.

- You are? - Yeah.

It’s warm in here.

It is. Come lie down.

Then maybe until Daddy comes.

This is where you guys sleep? It’s nice.

Yeah, it’s warm and nice.

Mom, Mom, what are you doing? Packing?

Yeah, I can leave.

You sure he okayed? Did the doctor say so?

Yeah, he said there’s no need for a surgery.

Really?

Excuse me, is she good to go? Are you sure?

Yeah, there’s no need for a surgery.

I told you, time heals everything.

That’s great then.

What about other treatments?

- We scheduled her for PT. - Okay.

Let’s hurry and leave. I really want to go home.

Okay, we shouldn’t stay here for long.

You two are done fighting now?

- Huh? - Of course.

Why were you fighting about?

Don’t worry about it. Let’s go.

- I’ll go home after the meeting. - Sure.

- I’ll see you tomorrow. - Good-bye.

See you tomorrow, Sara.

I really have to go, what’d you want?

I honestly don’t understand why you’re doing this.

You don’t? Why not?

Fine, your mom and Youngguk were a thing before.

But now he’s back with my sister. Is that why you’re mad?

Why? If that fling went on, we wouldn’t be able to date.

It’s for everyone’s good that this happened, but why…

…why are you mad at me?

I thought you had a big mouth but you’re dumb too.

Dumb? What did you say?

What did I do to you? Why’re you attacking me?

No one’s ever called me that.

Let’s go over this again. I’m my sister’s brother.

We like each other but apart from all that.

If they worked out…that’s still wrong. He’s still married.

Unless… you think this is justified.

What?

Sara! What’d I do this time?

Nothing. I just feel bad for my mom, why can’t you understand?

So I get slapped for not understanding her?

How many times do I have to deal with this? What the heck!

Why did she have to fall for a married man… this really sucks…

I should make her feel better since I know how that feels.

Mom, I’m off early and was heading up.

Should I head there? Do you need anything?

I’m coming home with Gangtae and Sooryun.

You are? You’re all okay?

Yeah, they said time will heal it.

That’s great. I’ll make you your favorite soup!

Mom, remember I’m here for you!

My… what’s this? Looks nice.

Looks like a brand name pair… looks expensive…

We’re saving every penny while she’s wasting money.

How’d she pay for it?

Hello!

Hello, you!

Oh, she’s with Mom. Then who’s shoes are those?

Chorong’s shoes were there. Chorong!

Chorong! A THIEF!

You… Jangmi Baek! Hey! Why are you here?

Why are you sleeping with her in here?

Chorong will wake up!

How dare you say her name?

Who do you think you are?

Walking in here! You must’ve lost your mind!

Let go! Let me go!

I told you I’ll kill you if I see you!

Jangmi!

Hey, you brought her in here?

Jangmi… how… are you in here?

Exactly!

She came in here and slept in Chadol’s room with Chorong!

She’s a psycho!

Chorong wanted to use the restroom…

So you snuck in here?

Chadol said I could come in…

How dare you lie? Don’t lie to us!

- She’s not lying! - Stay out of it!

- Are you siding with her? - That’s enough, Sara.

Jangmi and Chadol are dating.

What in the world are you talking about?

It’s true!

You… you’re seeing Chadol?

Yes…

How could you? YOU LEFT him, how dare you?

Jangmi… don’t you know what you did to him? How could you?

I’m sorry…

I’ll pretend this never happened, don’t show your face here. Okay?

No, I can’t.

I love him…

LOVE?

You love him now? What about when you left him!

Mom, calm down!

I’m so sorry… I’m sorry…

Mother, please forgive her.

What in the world is going on?

Chorong! Jangmi!

Chadol, how could you do this?

I understand that Chorong wanted to see her.

I know this was all for her.

But now you’re dating her again?

It’s not his fault, I followed him, begged him. It’s my fault.

Mom, don’t waste your breathe and make her leave.

You caused all of this!

You’re the one who got Chorong involved in that drama!

Don’t turn this around! It’s all her fault.

SHUT IT! Get out.

Tell me exactly why you’re doing this.

Mom, there’s my fault about what happened before.

NO, THERE IS NOT!

For raising that newborn by yourself? That’s your fault?

- Mom, I forgave her. - How could you forgive her?

It wasn’t easy coming this far.

We didn’t come to this decision overnight, it hurts to get back.

But we thought everything through.

Mom, we have Chorong… she’s her mother.

It’s for Chorong’s happiness that we’re together. Can’t you understand?

No, I can’t. I won’t. Even if I do, her family…

You think they’ll accept you? No way.

I don’t know what they’ll do to us again.

I know what’s ahead of me… and of us.

But I’m Chorong’s Dad and Jangmi’s her mother.

We’ve got to face it as her parents, so please be on our side.

Why are you crying? Crying not going to help you. No way.

Sara, keep your voice down.

Jangmi Unni!

Uncle and auntie, where’s Unni?

Jangmi Unni!

I thought you left, I was scared.

Daddy and Unni, let’s go play.

Well… - We’ll have to go left time.

Something came up.

Okay, then next time. Next time, you promise?

Promise.

Jangmi, are you okay?

I’m okay.

Give me the keys, I’ll take you home.

Jangmi, stop crying…

Okay. I will. I’m trying not to…

… but I’m just so sorry to you and your family…

Jangmi, if we try hard, they’ll accept us.

Everything will be okay, I believe it.

You should go.

Go inside first.

Okay, be safe.

Jangmi.

You look so down. Let me make you feel better.

Mom!

Mom!

Baby… my son…

I’m sorry…I’m sorry…

Yeonhwa… Yeonhwa…

Yeonhwa…

Did you have a bad dream?

What kind of dream was it? You were crying.

Mom, I think I’ll find him.

Some guy called me Mom and came to me in my dream.

He must be all grown up now.

But he looked so familiar to me…

…as if I’ve seen him before…

I think I’ll recognize him.

Of course, he’s your son.

Wait, maybe that vivid dream means you’ll find him.

We’re getting the DNA results tomorrow, right?

There was no match?

No, not according to our database.

Yeonhwa…

Yeonhwa…

Mom, he didn’t die or anything, right?

Don’t say that.

Or maybe he hates me. He doesn’t want to see me.

Then I’ll never find him.

Maybe his adopted parents never told him.

That’ll be good but what do we do? How’ll we find him?

We just need to find Mr. Gong, give it some time.

He’s aboard, do you think we’ll find him?

I don’t have much time…

That’s why you’ve got stay strong…for him. Okay?

Where were you guys?

Yeonhwa wanted some fresh air, we went for a walk at a park.

I see.

I don’t ever leave her alone, so don’t worry.

Okay.

It’ll take a lot of money to fill this up, what’s it for?

Why do you think I save this for? It’s all for a good cause.

They may call this dirty money but this is how politics work.

It’s the best way to inspire people.

Plus, I need to show the party that I’m serious about their support.

Even so, this is a lot.

I had fun watching the babies grow everyday.

If I get elected, I’ll bring you a double.

Do you mean it?

Of course. Definitely. 10 or 20 times more too.

Okay, okay.

Then you should win the support and be elected. You have to!

Of course!

We had a preliminary screening and we’re very pleased with you.

Everyone’s been telling me how perfect you’d be for us.

Then has all of this been finalized?

There’s still one more stage left but it’s just for the procedure.

There’s a lot of concern about corruptions.

We’re focusing on family management to determine your eligibility.

Family management?

Yes, you don’t have trouble at home, right?

Of course not. Not at all.

That’s great. Just keep doing, you’ll need some documents too.

Including your picture and your family as well.

Understood.

Mother! Mother!

I’m here, what’s going on?

Where’s my wife? Guemja! Geumja where are you?

What is it?

Is Jangmi home?

Yeah.

Then call Sooryun and tell her to come home.

Sooryun?

Yeah, Sooryun.

Dad? For me? Do you know what for?

Okay, I’ll be there.

Sooryun, did something happen?

Dad wants to see me.

He wants me home right now.

Really? He did? Let me come with you.

No, I’ll go by myself.

What is it? Tell us already.

Yeah, tell us.

Okay.

You two already know. But I must officially inform everyone.

It’s a big deal so that’s why I called both of you.

I’m going to get into politics.

What?

You really want to run as a district rep?

There’s so much risk and everyone gets exposed.

Can’t you let your husband speak?

Don’t cut him off with all your negativity!

Go ahead, Manjong.

Yes, Mother.

Anyways, I served for 30 years as a civil servant.

It’s been my life’s goal to serve our government.

And I got an offer from a leading political party about a candidacy

Considering the timing, I must seize this chance. It’s my destiny!

Of course, every man ought to get involved in politics.

I called both of you here because they’re interested in our family.

I need to emphasize again that we need absolute peace in the house.

Break it down for us, just get to the bottom of it.

You need help from us?

First, I need everyone to be careful.

To watch their every moves and their words.

Listen carefully, Geumja. Don’t get drunk outside.

And to be aggressive in your support for me.

What exactly do you need?

You’re a celebrity, so you’ll have to do some advertisement.

Being the frontrunner of all the campaign and drawing support.

And Sooryun, whenever I call you, you’ve to be readily available.

Okay, what about Gangtae? He can make movies.

I’m sure he can be useful…

Why are we talking about him?

I’m making it clear that I’m against this.

What?

Not everyone can get involved in this.

I heard power can blind people.

You’ve got a nice house and both our daughters are grown up.

Why’re we going down this path?

After your retirement, we can travel the world

Taking care of our grandkids.

Didn't you hear me? The nation and this government needs me!

Don’t pay attention to her.

Both of you guys owe a lot to your father.

Make sure you get your acts straight. For once, okay?

Jangmi, we need to make sure your past is concealed.

This is when you come into play, Sooryun.

You keep watch on the family, if they start a rumor, you handle it.

If the Parks get in my way again, I’ll destroy them.

Jangmi, you shouldn’t see Chadol for a bit.

I know, right?

I think so.

He’s really excited about this, if he find sour in the middle…

It’ll be really bad for Chadol.

Both of us can handle it but…

… not Chorong. She doesn’t know anything.

So at least for now, lay low. After he gets elected, tell him then.

Okay, I’ll talk to Chadol.

He’s completely nuts. He wants us to take a family picture.

Come downstairs right now.

Everyone ready? 1-2-3.

Mr. and Mrs. you two should smile. Good, look here.

Tilt your head and look ahead.

Now show some teeth.

Great.

Your father in politics?

Yeah.

Hey!

Politics?

Everyone wants to be in politics, that explains our government.

Sara, that’s enough.

I’m not wrong, look at the state of our nation.

Well, we won’t know that until he wins the election.

I believe that our voters are wise and will make the right choice.

Cut it out and eat your food.

I’m sorry, he reached out to me first. I couldn’t say no.

I have no right to say anything.

Hello?

Must be her.

I heard from Sooryun about your father.

Yes.

We have to be careful. I’ll explain it to Chorong.

I regret picking this career. I’ll be in the spotlight a lot more.

Everyone might find out about us, about Chorong.

It’ll be tough for both of you.

So I’m thinking about taking some time off.

Maybe until we get married and everything’s settled.

But this is what you want.

But you and Chorong are my priority.

I’m sorry.

What for?

I’m sorry.

If you start your career again later, I’ll support you fully.

Sir, I want to take some time off.

Time off? You’re kidding, right? This is your prime.

I’m sorry.

Jangmi, there’s plenty of people that wants you.

All you have to do is making a choice.

Let me know exactly what’s going on, I’ll help you.

I’m sorry, I’ll explain it later.

What? Quitting your job?

Of course, I have to focus on my campaign if I want to win.

I thought you’d take a leave of absence.

How ignorant. If I want to campaign, I can’t work as a civil servant.

I don’t care, don’t quit!

Why can’t you support him instead of saying all that negative junk?

Manjong, go do what you have to do.

Okay, Mother.

Don’t quit your job!

If you’re going to quit, step on me.

Honey, honey. Honey, you can’t! Don’t quit your job! Honey!

Mr. Baek, thank you for your hard work.

Thank you.

Thank you very much. Please continue your support.

- Best of luck to you, Sir. - Thank you.

After my campaign, I’ll take you guys out.

Manjong Baek! Manjong Baek!

Yes, this is Manjong Baek.

Yes, Sir. Right now?

A rumor about my daughter?

That she’s dating a child’s father.

That’s nonsense, why would she?

I agree but seems like another candidate spread the rumor.

Was it Kyung Chun Kim? I can’t let him do that.

Calm down, don’t let this affect you. You may lose your candidacy.

Okay.

Just be careful and keep watch.

If they find something, it’ll be bad. So stay away from trouble.

Understood, I will.

Jangmi dating a child’s dad? What a complete nonsense.

You saw Jangmi at a theme park?

With Yoojin and Yoojin’s dad? The three of them?

Hello, Director Cho. It’s Jangmi’s Dad.

Don’t tell her but can I get Yoojin’s address?

Mom, it’s Mr. Kang, the investigator.

Pick it up.

Hello? You sure?

Tomorrow? Okay, I’ll wait.

What’d he say? What is it?

He found someone that knows Mr. Gong.

See? What did I tell you. I told you he’s the best.

He said he’s going to see him tomorrow.

That’s half the work, it’ll be soon enough. Be patient.

Okay, I will.

Why this neighborhood?

You have arrived at your destination.

What’s going on? How’s Yoojin’s house…

Why’s Yoojin with her?

Could… Yoojin be Chorong?

What did she drop?

Hey, Mister. Nice to see you again.

- Hello, Yoojin. This is yours, right? - Yes.

Do you remember me?

Yes, you’re Juri Unni’s father.

Yes, you’re a smart kid.

Yoojin, what’s your real name?

My name is Chorong Park.

Chorong Park? Your father’s name?

My name’s name is Chadol Park.

What?

Chadol Park?
