Mom…

Baby…

How…

…Look at you…

I never got to see you grow up…

I’m sorry…

Mom…

But you’re all grown up now. I’m sorry…

Yeonhwa. Yeonhwa.

It’s good now that we found him. My baby… my baby…

Mr. Kang… thank you for finding him. Thank you.

I’ll never forget this. Thank you, thank you.

My goodness, how’d this happen? She found her son.

Her wishes finally came true.

Have some.

Okay.

Your name?

I never got to name you.

Seunghyun. It’s Seunghyun Kim.

Seunghyun Kim.

Then your parents were Kims?

Yes.

And you live with them now? I have to thank them.

They raised you well.

Yeonhwa…his parents passed away 5 years ago in an accident.

Really? How…

… Then you lived alone since?

I can’t imagine how difficult it must’ve been.

Then why don’t you come live with us?

Yeonhwa… let’s not rush, you guys just met.

You’ll have to talk to Youngguk too.

Yes, Mrs. Lee. You two will need some time.

I think it’ll be better to do that after some time has passed.

Yeah, it’s true. There’s no rush.

How’d you find him? It couldn’t have been easy…

I met a neighbor that used to know his parents.

They knew where the family moved to.

How’d you know it was him?

We haven’t had any DNA tests.

He mentioned the bracelet. He had it as a child.

The bracelet, yes. Can I see it?

Yeonhwa… he said he lost it few years ago.

Lost it?

Yeah.

Do you still remember? I engraved your name on it.

Yeah…

Bamtol.

Bamtol… yes, Bamtol. You, you’re really my son…

- My child… - Mom…

- You’re my baby. You are my baby… - Mom…

I couldn’t prepare much because I didn’t know you’d be here.

This is more than enough. I’m used to eating ramen…

Is that so?

Here, eat some more.

Okay.

Why did Mr. Kang leave? He should’ve ate with us.

He’s a busy man, you know.

So what did your parents do for living?

A market.

They had a market?

Were they good to you? How’d they pass away?

Let him eat.

I’m sorry… I’m just really curious.

Seunghyun, didn’t you say you had an appointment?

Yes, I do.

I didn’t expect to meet my mom today.

Is that so? When should we meet then?

Now that we found him, you can see him whenever you’d like.

I feel like I’m dreaming so I’m scared…

Why don’t I give you my number?

Right! That sounds great. Put your number.

Okay.

Now we can meet whenever you want.

Yeah, yeah. Yes.

My goodness, all of these are delicious.

Galbi and the seafood soup, everything’s delicious.

I can’t believe this. I don’t believe it.

That’s why I brought you here. To show her off to you.

I’m glad you enjoy the food.

Even the seaweed’s fantastic! It’s crispy.

I’m sure there’s better food in America.

Of course, there’s a lot of good food in the world.

I’m going to live long so I can taste all the food.

I can’t possibly die and leave all these food behind…

This is perfectly roasted with the right temp and for the right time.

Come visit us often whenever you’re in Korea.

I appreciate the invitation but I can’t.

Why? Don’t people go back and forth easily nowadays?

I know you can’t tell but I’m very sensitive.

I’m afraid of heights and hate getting on airplanes.

I see…

So when I come to Korea, I don’t want to leave and vice versa.

So I don’t get to see my brother very often.

I see.

I’m glad she doesn’t come back as often.

What if she wants to stay in Korea for the same reason.

I’ve never met anyone who talks so much. My head…

Then it must’ve been awhile since you came, how’s it?

Yeah, it’s been awhile and the skies of Seoul almost made me cry.

Grey skies and pollution… the air changed so much.

And I realized how we take clean and fresh air for granted.

To imagine that I’ve been inhaling all that pollution…

Oh, terrible. Oh, no!

Oh my God!

- I’m sorry. - I’m so sorry.

Are you okay?

The food was delicious and now a tea, thank you.

No problem, we had a pleasant time with you.

Kenny, Jaeyoon’s son, wanted to come too but he’s busy.

He plays soccer for his school and he had a game.

I see…

Kenny’s mom will take care of him but …

When Jangmi marries…

… you don’t mind me calling you that, right?

No.

Of course.

I don’t imagine she’ll be directly involved.

But one she married Jaeyoon, she’ll still be his mom.

It can’t be an easy decision for a single woman to make.

Do you like him this much?

I’m sorry?

Why do you like him so much? You like older man? Or money?

Cut it out! I’m sorry.

She’s really blatant and honest… I’m sorry.

I see.

What did I do? Why are you so apologetic?

I just want to know why she’d want to marry you.

Emma, please. Don’t talk to me in French.

You want me to talk in English? They’ll understand us.

I’m sure she’s marrying you for your money.

That’s not true.

I’m right, she doesn’t seem to be in love with you.

Emma, please.

Excuse me, I had to talk to Jaeyoon privately.

I’m a firm believer in marrying for love.

So you can understand my concern.

I wanted to know if Jangmi chose him for his money. Are you upset?

Once you get to know her, you’ll like her.

Anyway, I’m excited that my brother found a girl he wants to marry.

So I want to express this excitement by singing you a song.

Singing a song?

She enjoys singing.

Sure, go ahead. Everyone, Ms. Emma’s about to sing!

It’s been awhile since I’ve seen a crazy person like her.

I know, this is ridiculous.

You did well.

Do you mean that? It wasn’t weird or awkward?

No, it was great.

That’s good. I practiced a lot… but the nerves can get to me.

My heart’s still racing.

I know, I understand. But make sure you see this through.

It’s for a good cause, remember that.

Yes, I’ll do that.

You got your BA and you’re working at a small company.

A small company?

Yeah, if you play along, I’ll make sure you get paid for it.

You have to stick to what I say. You understand, right?

Yes, Grandma.

I’m going, I trust you.

Okay.

Good-bye.

This is all I get? They’re rich, why’re they so stingy.

It’s me, Mr. Kang, this was my last resort but I’m so scared.

You still have to look for Bamtol for us, okay?

I’ll do my best but I can’t promise you anything.

You have to find him, this is how desperate I am.

Look for people that knew the parents and their friends.

Sometimes friends know more, okay?

Mrs. Lee…

What’s wrong? Are you in pain?

I finally met my son…

But how can I tell him that I’m dying…

His parents passed away too…

I feel like I’m hurting him more.

I should’ve watched him from far instead of meeting him.

Mrs. Lee… but you got to meet him, isn’t that good?

Do you think I’ll live?

I finally found my son, I can’t leave now…

Mrs. Lee, don’t think like that. You’ll recover, you’re healthy.

If you stay positive and eat well then you’ll be cured.

Miracles can happen, you met your son.

Okay…

This is really our store?

Yeah, this is our store!

It’s so nice, it’s really great.

Let’s work harder now.

- Of course! - Of course!

Where should we begin? Should we clean?

Now you’re officially Boss Park, huh?

I’ve always been the boss.

Hey, hey. It’s not the same when you have a real store.

Now that you opened a store, all of this finally feels real.

So when’s the opening date?

Once the construction’s done, we’ll have to start.

Do you need any help? You can call me whenever.

Me too, ask me for help.

I can help you after my lessons.

Thank you all for the offer.

If Chadol had a parents like Mrs. Lee, he wouldn’t have to work this hard…

Mom, are you crying?

No. I just am sorry I can’t help you, Chadol.

Do you have money? How’re you doing this?

Mom, don’t apologize and don’t worry.

I’m using the profit from the sales.

Mom, don’t you trust him? He can figure it out.

It’s a good day today, let’s be happy.

Okay, let’s be happy.

Mr. Koh, aren’t you going home?

I have to finish some stuff, go first.

Except Sara.

We’ll go first then. You two have fun.

But don’t be so obvious. Where’s the fun in that?

Hey, come out already. Hurry!

Ms. Yoon, you’re mistaken.

I’ll see you tomorrow.

Mr. Koh, cut it out!

If you keep doing this, I’ll get transferred.

Tell me, you never finished telling me. I need to know.

Well…it’s not my place…

Then you shouldn’t have said anything.

You can’t leave me hanging. You can’t go home then.

It’s for you, I don’t want to break your heart.

I’m strong, so don’t worry. What is it?

Well…

… Your sister. Mr. Lee’s wife…

She’s really sick…

My sister? Where?

Tell me!

It’s cancer…in its last stage.

Wh, what? Cancer? My sister?

Yes, Seunghyun.

I wish could’ve stay longer, I was sad to see you go.

We’ll see each other every day now.

You’re right, every day.

You’re coming tomorrow, right?

I’ll wait for you. Okay, bye.

- Honey. - Youngguk’s here.

Good to see you, have you had dinner?

I had a meeting so I ate. I had to take care of stuff.

You don’t have to worry about me, you should focus on your work.

Okay.

You seem better these days, in a good mood today?

Yes, I wish everyday was like today.

She’s smiling more and eating more.

You must be tired, go and rest.

Okay, you too.

What? You’re not feeling well?

No.

Then what is it? You scared me.

I think I should come clean with Youngguk about Seunghyun.

He’ll feel betrayed if he finds out later.

Yeonhwa, I know where you're coming from.

It’ll give you a peace of mind if you tell him.

Exactly.

But what about him?

He can’t do anything even if he’s upset.

It’ll break his heart though, do you really want to?

That’s why I wasn’t going to…

But I feel guilty whenever I see him.

Go ahead but don’t expect him to accept it.

Good to see you.

Sis…

Why’re you so late?

I know, I’ve been coming home so late.

I know you’re handling a lot of Youngguk’s work.

But come home early or I might forget what you look like.

Okay. I’ll come home early Sis.

Did you eat? Do you want me to make you dinner?

No, I ate.

It’s quite late…

… I’ve got to use the restroom. Good-night.

Okay.

Jaedong.

Mom.

Are you crying? Why are you crying?

She won’t live much longer? She has cancer? Is this true?

How’d you know?

So it is true… it is…

… my poor sister, my poor sister…

Don’t cry, you’re going to cry in front of her?

I… I’ll make her live. I’ll save her.

Of course. She’ll live.

Don’t worry. I’ll save her even if I have to trade my life for it.

Mom…

So Manjong… how do you feel?

The office is opening today and I feel a bit nervous about campaigning.

Don’t be. I’m right behind you, supporting you.

Yes, Mother.

Remember what you said about managing the families?

Shouldn’t we invite Sooryun to this? She’s our oldest.

No need. Mr. Lee’s acquaintances will be there.

If someone asks about her, tell them she moved somewhere.

How heartless…and cold…

What if that Emma lady shows up again?

Start singing to congratulate you? We’ve got to stop her.

Mother…

Yes, okay, let’s go. Hurry.

- Let’s go. - Come.

I want to go to Chadol’s store opening too…

Come after.

For now go to your father’s office’s opening.

I don’t want to see my father.

I know, I feel the same way.

But you still have to.

Okay.

Thank you everyone for making the time to visit me here.

I’ll be sure to return all the support and love you’ve shown in victory.

Our first priority is victory, second is victory, and third is victory!

We won’t take anything but victory!

I will become your district representative.

And I will make our district the wealthiest! As the next Gangnam!

Manjong Baek! Manjong Baek!

Manjong Baek! Manjong Baek!

I can never understand men. Why’s he doing this?

I wish she hurries and goes back to America.

Why’s she here if she’s not going to help.

Mom, look at her hat. It’s quite hilarious, no?

Now the cutting of the ribbon.

Mother, come up,We need your energy. Come, Chadol you too.

Ready, one, two, three!

Come in.

Hey, Chadol, my bro! Hope you make it big.

Thanks, Bro.

- Chadol, become a millionaire okay? - Okay, Sis.

Daddy, make a lot of money!

Welcome, welcome.

Hey, Hey.

Let’s go and give out rice cakes and get out of his way. Let’s go.

We’ve got all the sizes, take your time. This is great for couples.

Hello. Hello, it’s from a new shoe store that opened.

- I see, good luck! - Thank you.

- Welcome. - Hello.

This is from the shoe store that just opened.

- Have some. - Come by please.

My daddy’s shoes are the best!

Thank you! Please support us.

Thank you! Please support us.

Thank you, thank you!

Jaeyoon got scheduled for a business trip in Japan last minute.

He said he’s sorry for missing out.

Not a problem, it would’ve been good to have him but I understand.

Ms. Emma, it’s great to have you here.

Sure…

I should sing you a song to congratulate you.

But I’m not in my best condition today.

Unni!

Sooryun!

When’d you get here?

Just now.

Jangmi’s sister? The oldest?

Yes, she’s our oldest. This is Mr. Lee’s sister.

I see… hello.

Yes.

And your husband?

He had to do be somewhere.

Jangmi Unni!

Who’s this? You’re cute.

Who are you?

I’m Chorong Park.

Hey kid, Jangmi’s busy.

You didn’t go away, why don’t you see me anymore?

I’ve been eating all my veggies.

So let’s go to the theme park with Daddy too and play.

Who’s she? You’re close to her dad?

Yeah…

She’s a child actress. They worked together.

She loves Jangmi and follows her around a lot.

I see.

Sooryun, take her away.

Chorong, let’s go.

Unni, now that I eat everything, we’ll hang out again, right?

Hey kid, that’s enough.

Let’s go kid, come on.

Unni! Unni!

Chorong, let’s go.

Unni, Unni!. Unni, Unni! Unni!

Oops.

She acts like she’s saying bye to her mom.

Mom?

No, she just got really close to Jangmi.

Dad!

I don’t like Jangmi Unni anymore. I’ll never hang out with her.

Why, why?

Her father’s campaign office is nearby… we saw her.

Chorong was saying hi to her but Jangmi ignored her.

Chorong, Chorong, it’s okay. Don’t cry.

This is ridiculous.

Jooyoung, you saw that too right?

Chorong was desperately saying hi to her.

I felt so bad for Chorong.

If it was up to me, I would tell the world about Jangmi’s past.

But I’m holding back for Chadol ’s sake.

I can’t stand watching her like this. How upsetting!

Even then Chadol can’t get over her.

That’s not true, Jooyoung.

He’s over her too… can’t you tell?

So be aggressive and make him yours.

Go drink with him or something…

Sara…

Eat slowly.

I’m going to explode.

I’ve never had food like this before.

If there’s anything you want, let me know, I’ll make it.

Okay, Mom.

I’m sad that I still don’t know much about you.

So I’d like to know more about you…

One step at a time…don’t rush.

Ask me anything you’d like, Mom.

Where are you working at?

Work?

I work at a convenience store.

Convenience store… not a full-time job?

People with college degree can’t even find jobs.

I only have my GED, I can’t find a job with that.

GED?

Yeah… I couldn’t afford college.

What is he talking about?

I see…

But I was never jealous of other people.

I think it’s better to start a business.

Instead of working at a company.

Business? But you can do that when you’re older.

Why don’t you start studying?

Mom, I’m almost 30, starting up a business is better.

What is he doing right now?

Hey, what are you doing?

What are you doing, Grandma?

Didn’t you hear me?

You went to college and you have a full time job.

Why aren’t you sticking through with it?

Oh, that? Is that what this is about?

Well…

A lie is a lie, it’s all the same, right?

Wh, what?

When I saw Mom’s face, I couldn’t lie to her anymore.

She’s genuinely so good to me.

Mom’s face? Genuine?

Who are you calling mom?

You’re a fake, did you forget that?

You said to act real.

I know I’m a fake and you know that.

But you still wanted me to act real.

You bastard… how dare you…

Quit then! If you’re going to do this then quit!

Yeah?

Okay, as you wish. I’ll quit.

Seunghyun, you can’t do this! Don’t do this.

You said I should quit.

Fine, I’m sorry.

I said a lot of stuff. But you shouldn’t do this.

I beg you, can’t we just do as I say? That was the deal.

Okay.

I didn’t have any ulterior motive when I said what I said.

I just like Mom, that’s all. I’m sorry.

Okay… my daughter… she’s a good person.

Please don’t hurt her, okay?

Okay, don’t worry. Grandma.

What are you doing? Sharing a secret?

Secret? Not at all, we’re just talking.

It’s making me tear up.

Seunghyun, have some fruits.

Okay, Mom.

Good to see you, Mr. Lee.

Yeah.

I’m leaving again but here’s some mushrooms.

It’s a delicacy, make it for my wife.

Okay.

Youngguk, you’re home.

Honey…

Hey, honey.

Who’s this?

It’s… Yeonhwa’s nephew. A far relative’s son.

Nephew?

Yeah, say hello.

Okay. Hello, I’m Seunghyun Kim.

Hello. How come I’ve never met him before?

Everyone’s been busy and there never was a chance.

He’ll be coming by more often.

Is that so? That’s great.

Seunghyun, come by often.

Okay.

Cheers!

You guys all worked hard!

Not at all.

It was really fun to meet the customers in person.

Yeah, some people heard the rumor about our store and came.

I think we’re making a reputation for ourselves.

This is all thanks to you guys.

I have a feeling that we’ll be settled soon.

What if we start opening more stores?

First, second, and third store.

- I’ll take the second store. ? Then the third one for me.

Then we’ll work until we open 100 stores, yeah?

- Good! - Cool!

Good-bye! Fighting!

Good job today.

It’s freezing.

What are you doing? Are you drunk?

No, I’m not drunk at all.

Chadol…

… listen carefully to what I’m saying.

Chadol…

I like you.

Jooyoung, what’s gotten to you?

You’re drunk. I’ll take you home, let’s go.

I know you knew.

You knew that I like you…

For some time now.

And when I found out that you were seeing Jangmi, I gave up.

But not anymore.

I want to be more than a friend to you.

And stay with you, by your side.

Jooyoung…

… I never thought of you as more than a friend.

I’m not in a place to see anyone and I’m still getting over her.

It’s difficult for me.

That’s why I’m here for you because it’s tough.

It’s not a good idea to date anyone right now.

And I want to keep you as my friend for a long time.

I’d hate to lose our friendship… can’t you understand?

You’re still not over her?

Chadol, are you stupid?

She’s about to get engaged, why can’t you get over her?

How much longer are you going to cling to her?

She left you so many times, why can’t you get over her?

I’m sorry.

What are you doing?

I’m making a mushroom tea for you.

You are?

Don’t be shocked. Drink it twice a day, it’s good for you.

It’s done.

Try it.

Bitter?

No, it tastes fine. It’s not bitter at all, thank you.

About that guy from earlier, where’s he from?

You never mentioned him to me.

Oh, you mean my cousin?

Didn’t you say he was your nephew?

Oh, right. I got confused, he is my nephew.

I thought I met all of your family but not him, what does he do?

Why?

I just want to take care of him if he needs help.

No, you don’t have to worry.

Okay then.

You’re home.

Honey…

About that guy from earlier, where’s he from?

Oh, you mean my cousin?

Didn’t you say he was your nephew?

Oh, right. I got confused… he is my nephew.

You want to tell him?

Yeah. Seunghyun will be coming by more often now.

I can’t keep lying to his face every time.

I’m forcing not only us but Seunghyun to lie to him.

Youngguk will be really shocked… he’ll feel betrayed…

I wasn’t going to tell him…

So wait it out a bit more. Tell him he’s your nephew.

I’ll talk to Seunghyun, hm?

No, Mom.

He’ll eventually find out that Seunghyun’s my son.

If I get kicked out, so be it. I need to let him know.

What do you mean?

What are you two talking about?

You… have a son?

No, no, no.

What son…? You misheard us.

Why don’t you tell me?

Seunghyun is my son…

Yeonhwa…

I’m sorry… I’m sorry for lying to you all along.

You’re sorry?

Did you say you’re sorry?

Youngguk, Youngguk!

Youngguk… Youngguk…

I know you don’t want to listen to us, but hear me out.

Yeonhwa had no idea. She didn’t know he was alive.

It was before she married you.

The father died and I didn’t know what to do so I sent him away.

But I found him for her because she got sick.

She wanted to see him once before she passes.

That’s why. Youngguk, I’m sorry.

She had no idea, it’s my fault.

Youngguk! Youngguk!

What do I do.

What do I do… With a fake son, not a real one.

What do I do. What do I do…

What do I do…

There’s lot of media on your daughter and your rate’s been growing.

That’s great. I was worried it’ll backfire on me.

- Jangmi Baek’s marrying Chilsung Group. - She’s so lucky.

- I’m so jealous. - I’m really jealous of her.

Everyone’s talking about Jangmi. This is so annoying.

Jooyoun… what’s wrong? Are you okay?

Sara, I’m going away for a little while, I came to say bye.

Going away? Where to? Why?

I got rejected by Chadol… yesterday.

What? So you’re leaving?

I just need time to think everything over.

I don’t really want to stay with Chadol.

This is all my fault. It was too soon and I rushed it.

If you give him time, he’ll change his mind. Don’t leave…

No, Sara.

He never thought of me as more than a friend.

And it’ll stay that way.

If I stay with him, I’m afraid I’ll start hating him.

I need time to clear my head then I’ll come back as a friend.

Jooyoung…

Give this to Chorong for me, I got this for her.

Please give it to her for me.

If you want to give it to her, give it yourself and say bye to her.

With Jangmi leaving like that, if you disappear too Chorong might get hurt.

Okay. I’ll do that.

Unni, I’ve been eating my veggies, can we play now?

Chorong…

That’s enough, let’s go. Hey kid, hey kid, let’s go.

Unni! Unni!

Oppa…

What are you doing here?

I…

…I think I hurt Chorong…

I had no choice but…

… I thought she was hurt by it. And I missed her…

Jangmi, you promised not to do this.

You’re making this harder for everyone, can’t you see that?

I know that too…

…but I just feel bad for Chorong and miss her…

Jangmi…

Move on, that’s what we said we’d do.

I’d like to inform you about a shocking past of actress Jangmi Baek.
