Original subtitles

Applicants A and B…

… are not biologically related.

He’s not…

… my real son?

No, he’s not.

Mom, I’m home.

Mom…

Is this about the car dealership?

Is that why you wanted to see me?

Let’s get out then. I found the perfect spot.

You wanted to see me? Mrs. Lee.

Come sit.

Okay.

You brought Mr. Kang here too?

What for?

Seunghyun Kim.

Yes, Mom.

You know…

… the birth bracelet and the name…

Bamtom engraved on it, how’d you know about it?

Tell me. How’d you know?

I…

I told you, I had it but I lost it.

Why do you ask…

This is our DNA test result.

Seunghyun.

Am I still your mother?

How’d you know about the name Bamtol?

Well…I…

HOW’D YOU KNOW?

Mrs… Mrs. Lee…

You knew how desperate I was to find my son.

I gave my everything to find my son.

But how could you people do this to me?

Mrs. Lee, I can explain this to you.

It was money.

How could you do this for money?

There are boundaries to keep.

You make a fake son for money.

And you…

You called me Mom acting like a real son to me.

Seunghyun. What was your intention?

I’m sorry, this was a part-time job, quick money…

Quick money?

Did you say part-time job?

Grandma asked me, she said she’d pay me well.

Told me to think of it as a part-time job.

What? My mom?

Yes, it’s true.

This is what Mrs. Ma wanted.

My mom planned all of this?

Yes. She told us the name Bamtol.

How else would we have known?

What?

Mr. Kang. What brings you here?

You asked Seunghyun to act as my son?

What? Wh…What are you talking about?

She found out.

Yeonhwa…

…I can explain this to you…

MOM!

How can you do this? How COULD YOU?

Yeo…Yeonhwa, Yeonhwa!

Wake up, Yeonhwa! Yeonhwa!

Yeonhwa… Yeonhwa…

Yeonhwa, it’s Mom.

Yeonhwa, I’m sorry.

This is all my fault. I did a terrible wrong.

Mom…

…Get out of the house.

Yeonhwa…

I can’t, I can’t live with you anymore!

Yeonhwa…

I’ll do anything….

I’ll do anything but that.

You’re still ill, you need me. I can’t leave you.

Get out! OUT!

I was doing it for you. To save you, to make you live…

So you made a fake son? How will you face the repercussions?

How could I smile and talk with a fake son.

When I have no idea where my real son is?

How do you think that makes me feel? Huh?

Okay, I’ll leave, I’ll leave, Yeonhwa. I will.

Mother… Mother…

Mom.

Honey…

… What’s all this about?

Seunghyun’s not your son?

Forget it.

I don’t care anymore…

Docs kept saying…

… She needs to have a strong will to live, that’s why…

She was getting worse every day.

I didn’t think about the consequences.

Mom, but how could you make a fake son?

I understand that you did this for her.

But this wasn’t the right way to do it.

I’m here and Jaedong’s here. You should’ve talked to us.

I’m sorry Youngguk, I’m terribly sorry.

I have no excuses for my action.

I knew something was off about him.

No wonder I couldn’t warm up to him.

But Mom, are you really leaving?

Don’t do this to us.

What can I do? That’s what she wants.

You know she didn’t mean it, you’re not leaving.

Jaedong, stay with her. I’ll check up on Yeonhwa.

I’m so embarrassed to even see his face.

You should’ve never done this!

Leave me alone!

You’re really going? Should I let you?

Yeah, don’t! Don’t stop me!

Okay, fine!

I understand you were frustrated.

I know why you did this.

What do we do… what do we do about her…

What do I do…

Honey, you looked lively with Seunghyun around.

You seemed happy.

That’s why Mother did what she did.

To motivate you to get treatments.

She kept all this to herself, it must’ve been hard.

You’ve got to understand where she’s coming from.

I’ll look for your real son.

No, don’t do that

I’m not going to, there’s no point.

This was your one wish. I’ll find him.

I have no right to find him.

I have no right to be a mother.

I can’t recognize my son.

Can’t tell a fake son from a real one.

I wouldn’t recognize him even if he was in front of me.

That’s natural.

No, you’re wrong.

How can I not recognize my own child?

Honey…

I’m absolutely useless.

What have I done with my life so far?

Honey… don’t be so harsh.

I’m an embarrassing wife to you.

An embarrassing daughter to my mother.

Honey…

No…

I can’t sit here doing nothing.

I would’ve prepared something if I knew you were coming.

There isn’t much, I’m sorry, Mother.

Who are you calling Mother?

Its fine.

Why are you living out here?

You think you’ll get my approval this way? You’re wrong.

I know it’s hard for you to accept us.

So I don’t even dare to ask right now.

But…

Please let me see Chorong and Chadol.

Am I being unreasonable?

Chadol went through so much because of you.

He’s finally settling down now. I won’t let you ruin that.

If you really love him, you’ve got to let him go.

I know you can’t stay here too long.

No, Mother. I changed.

I’ll prove it to you that I changed.

I’m going to live as Chorong’s Mom now.

I’ll stay by their side and live for them, I will.

Please, Mother…

What do I do with you…

Chadol!

You made a mistake on the check, added an extra zero.

What if you’d sent that to a vendor?

It wasn’t a mistake.

You meant to give all that to me? Why?

You haven’t had a day off since we started.

It’s all thanks to you that we’ve grown this big.

I haven’t done much.

You did all the physical work though.

Consider it a bonus, take your mom out.

And just stick by my side, okay?

Chadol! Thanks!

Let me go!

Yes, hello?

Yes, yes. 5000 pairs more?

Okay. I’ll send 5000 more.

They want more?

Yeah, it’s selling fast, they want 5000 more.

At this rate, we’ll be opening up a 2nd store soon.

I know. Should we?

Yeah, let’s just do it!

Chorong, you don’t have to help.

It’s okay, Grandma. It’s fun.

My gosh, she’s really good at this.

I know. What’s Chorong not good at?

Gangtae.

Don’t do this and go read a book in your room.

No, it’s okay. Are you worried about me?

No, Sooryun wont be happy to see you like this.

Don’t stay home, go check in with the producer and say hello.

Mom, should I just give up being a director?

Why? Did Sooryun say something?

No, that’s why I feel worse.

I’m not living up to everyone’s expectation.

Mom, come out! Everyone come out !

What, what is it?

Someone parked here again? It looks new.

Well…

Don’t be shocked…it’s Mom’s.

It’s yours, take the keys.

What are you talking about?

Chadol, are you serious? Where’d you get it?

I bought it as a gift to Mom.

Where’d you get that kind of money?

Mom, I’m doing pretty well these days.

Dad, is this really Grandma’s?

Yeah!

Whoa, you’re the best, Daddy!

So you really bought this for her?

Chadol, why’d you buy me a car?

You should’ve bought something for yourself.

Get a new office or a car for you.

The office is fine.

I told you I’d get you a car. Did you forget?

Even still, why’d you get me a car. I don’t need it.

That’s not true.

You take the public transit every day, you can drive now.

Mom, it’s a gift from him, you should take it.

I haven’t done much for you.

You’ve done plenty for me.

You deserve a better car, take it.

It’s been 20 years since I drove. I’m scared.

Don’t be, you can take lessons again. Get in.

What’s this?

It’s Grandma’s car that Daddy bought.

- What? Really? - What? Really?

Of course!

Dad, her car’s so nice!

Whoa, it’s a nice car. It’s so smooth.

You used to drive a lot.

You’ll catch on quickly, don’t worry and just practice.

Okay.

- I can teach you too. - Thank you, Sooryun.

Mom, let me borrow it okay?

No way. Don’t let her drive it.

Why don’t we go get dinner since we’re out.

Yeah, I didn't feel like cooking anyway.

Good. Dinner’s on me so pick a place.

- Really? - Yeah!

I’ll get something nice, it’s on you, right?

Yeah!

That’s the bracelet I made, I’m sure of it.

But how does he have it?

Did he find it?

Or…

Mom, you like it?

Of course, I do. This car’s expensive.

But are you bribing me?

Bribing you? No way.

I’m taking the car but Jangmi’s still a no. Got it?

Mom, don’t be like that.

- Oh, I left my wallet, get inside first. - Okay.

You again? What brings you here?

Can… can I see your arm?

Excuse me?

Shouldn’t you be at the hospital?

Don’t come here anymore. Please.

Yeah, I must be mistaken. I am.

Why would Shinae’s son have the bracelet?

No way…

There’s no way…

Was she happy? Did she like the color?

Yeah. She’s going to practice starting tomorrow.

You did the right thing.

You’ve got to come with me tomorrow, do you have time?

Tomorrow? I have something.

What is it?

I’ll tell you later.

But afternoon works, see you then.

Okay, Jangmi. Lock up and go to sleep.

No, I’ll come lock up the door for you.

Don’t.

If you come here, Mother will hate me even more.

I can do it myself, you go to sleep.

Okay, Jangmi. Good night.

Bye.

This is as close as we can get to the real bracelet. How’s it?

It looks similar ,very similar.

It’s just like it.

I’ll have it on tomorrow’s paper.

She doesn't want me to…

… but I know she wants to.

Of course, she doesn’t mean that. Not even a little.

Why didn’t I think of this before?

I should’ve talked it over with you, I regret not doing that.

Well, I’ll do my best to find him.

Youngguk, thank you. I’m really grateful.

Ms. Lee, could you give me today’s paper?

Here.

Collect these before Mrs. Lee gets to them, please.

Okay, I will. Mr. Lee.

Looking for a baby who was adopted some 28 years ago.

Wearing this bracelet. If you have any info…

So we’ll post the ad and wait for a call.

Then we’ll ask for the engraved name?

Yes, Mother.

If they know the name Bamtol then I’ll let you know.

I really hope that Bamtol will show up quickly.

I know, me too.

If Yeonhwa finds out, we’ll get an earful from her.

I asked Ms. Lee.

I asked her to collect the papers before she gets to them.

You did?

If she finds out, she’ll get her hopes up.

I’d hate to disappoint her if nothing turns up.

Okay, that’s good. That’s great.

Even if we get caught later, this is for the better.

Yes.

Gangtae, put that on the table.

Here, here. Here!

Weren’t you reading that? Is it okay?

Yeah, I finished reading. Your hand’s more important.

I’m fine.

Get a room, will you?

What did you just say to us?

No, nothing…

Everyone, come out and eat. Chadol! Chorong!

Yes. Let’s eat!

What’s this? Kimchi Stew?

How pretty…

It sparkles…

How beautiful is this…

Who’ll get me this if not my son?

I’m so blessed.

Wait, I haven’t heard from Mrs. Ma in a while.

What if she told the truth to her daughter?

Hello, Mrs. Ma? It’s me.

Mrs. Cho…

Mrs. Ma, what’s wrong?

So your daughter found out before you told her?

Yeah.

How’d she find out?

She was having a hard time opening up to him.

I think she grew suspicious and ran a DNA test.

This was your mistake. But in some ways, it’s better.

It’s better than having a fake son eating away your money.

My daughter, she won’t even look at me.

She even told me to leave the house.

My son and my son-in-law stopped me though.

My gosh, Mrs. Ma. You can’t leave.

Your intentions were good.

People think I’ve got an easy life that I have everything.

But they don’t know the things I go through.

True, my life is much better than hers.

I’m sorry, I’m always crying…

No, don’t worry.

I hope you find your real grandson soon.

My son-in-law put on an ad on the paper secretly.

About the bracelet he had when he got sent away.

Someone must’ve seen it, right?

Of course, you’ll find him soon.

Good to see you.

Yes, hello.

Have you been well?

I came to cheer Mrs. Ma up a bit.

I see…

How are you feeling?

I’m better. I’ve gotten a lot better.

Great, that’s good.

Mrs. Ma only got you, you know?

Stay strong for her sake.

- Yes, make yourself at home… - Okay.

Oh, Mrs. Cho…

Yes?

Jangmi is your granddaughter, right?

Yes, she is. What about her?

I don’t mean to be rude, but may I ask you something?

Jangmi and Chadol, if they had a child, why’d the split up?

Do you know Chadol?

Yes…

Was there a reason why they split up?

For starters, they have different backgrounds.

But more than that…

He’s actually an orphan. We can’t accept that.

Orphan? Chadol is?

We’re not thrilled to hear his name, it upsets my son a lot.

It’s only natural. Nobody knows where he came from.

He could be from a criminal’s family.

We weren’t being unreasonable.

Anyway, I’ll go inside now.

Chadol is an orphan…

So…

… He’s not Shinae’s real son.

Chadol, how do we order?

Call the factory and ask him for a design sample first.

- Okay. - I’ll be back.

Director!

Hello.

Are you here for the audition too?

Yeah.

I’m not sure that we’ll have a spot for you.

Even if we do, we can’t offer it to you.

You need to let time go by, now’s not the right time.

Come back then. Bye.

Okay, thank…

- She still thinks she’s big. - How audacious of her.

Jangmi…

The room’s clean, dishes are done. Look at this.

When’d you get here?

Just now.

You’re an expert at this now, huh?

Of course, I told you I could.

Did you eat breakfast?

Yeah, of course.

I had tomato juice, boiled egg, and a piece of toast.

I’ve got nothing to worry about.

Where were you? You look tired.

Huh? I had something to do. Seeing some friends.

You said we’ve got somewhere to go? Where?

You’ll find out. Let’s go.

Oppa, who’s house is this? Why’re we here?

How’s it? It’s clean, right? Do you like it?

I do. But why are we here?

This is your new place.

What?

Don’t look too surprised.

That room’s too small. If you like it, you’re moving here.

Why are you being impulsive?

What’s wrong?

You’re finally settling down, don’t waste your money.

Waste?

I want you to stay at a safer place.

I can do this for you, that’s why I’m doing it.

I told you. I need to stand on my two feet.

I can’t leave you there by yourself.

Why can’t you? I’m fine.

Jangmi, just do as I say.

Okay.

If you want to then wait until we can get a bigger place.

I really wish Mom approves of us.

Look how much you changed. Doesn’t she see it?

I’m hungry. Let’s go eat.

Buy me something yummy to eat.

Will you?

Okay, let’s go.

I’m sorry but you’re not who we’re looking for.

- Thank you. - Thank you.

Yes, hello.

- You’re calling about the ad? - This is Gangho Group.

You have the same bracelet?

Does it also have a wooden plate?

What’s the name engraved on that?

None of them are it?

Yeah, we have a lot of people call.

But no one with the correct name.

Okay, we’ll give it some more time.

Mom, what did you bring?

Come take a look at what’s inside.

It’s got your clothes, bag, and make up.

Thank you, Mom. I needed spring clothes.

I couldn’t even buy make up. You’re the best.

Only when I bring you things, huh?

No.

I’ll bring you make up so don’t worry and use it.

Oh and I couldn’t bring it with me today.

But I got some pans and plates that I can bring you.

I’m fine. I don’t need anything.

I’m fine right now.

Doesn’t look like it to me. Not even close.

Mom, I’m really really okay.

Plus… Chadol wanted to get me a new place. But I refused.

What? He did what?

Yeah.

He’s lying. He doesn’t have the money, you believe him?

Mom, he’s doing really well now.

His shoes are being exported to China.

He even bought his mom a car.

What…

He bought his mom a car?

Yeah, I know.

Whatever.

What’s his business compared to Chilsung Group?

Mom…

… Can we not talk about that?

Imagine how frustrated I AM.

I’ll be happy and won’t make any trouble, I promise.

Whatever.

I’m home.

Mother? Geumja!

Where’s everyone?

Where did Mother go?

Manjong, you’re back.

Yes, Mother. Where’s Geumja?

Eh? Is she not here? She was here.

What’s up with her? I haven’t seen her at home.

I’ve got to tell her to stay put.

But be good to her.

She may be dumb, but…

…it’s not like she had a son and kept you in the dark.

Who would do such a thing?

You know Mrs. Ma’s daughter…

Youngguk Lee’s wife. Mrs. Lee?

Yeah… they’re all looking for her son.

No way.

How can a classy, innocent and beautiful woman…

Have such a horrific past? No way.

What do you mean? It’s true.

Really? Does Mr. Lee know?

He must be furious.

No, he’s looking for his wife’s son.

He thinks his wife’s son is his own too.

That guy, he makes everyone look so bad.

How can a real man accept a son from another man? No way.

I know, he’s a good person indeed.

No, if I was him, I would’ve gotten a child outside the marriage too.

How can he give his company away to a stranger’s kid?

No. You wouldn’t let that happen, right?

No way, not a chance.

Anyway, whoever that kid is, he’s a lucky kid.

He’s about to inherit Gangho Group.

You don’t say.

What’s this?

This is the same bracelet as Chadol’s.

Looking for a boy who was adopted some 28 years ago.

Wearing this bracelet.

28 years ago, this must be Chadol…

Where’s the bracelet?

Chadol, it’s me.

You know the bracelet that broke off, did you throw it away?

No.

Where is it?

Why?

I want to fix it. Where is it?

Don’t, it’s broken.

Where’d you put it?

Huh? On your desk?

Hello?

You’re calling about the ad? Yes, yes.

Did the bracelet have a wooden plate?

Is there a writing on it?

Bamtol?

- They said Bamtol? - Yeah.

- Arrange a meeting, right now. - Okay.

We finally found the person with the bracelet.

Shinae…

Hey…

What are the chances that we’d run into her again?

What a coincidence… how unpleasant.

What brings you here?

I have an appointment here.

Youngguk, let’s go in. I’m so nervous.

Okay, let’s go.

Take a seat, I don’t think the person’s here yet.

Okay.

Give that person a call, see how far they’re.

- Yeah, do that. - Yes, Sir.

Hello?

Where are you? We’re here.

Me too.

- Oh, you are? - They’re here? Where are they?

Where are you? Do you see us?

Oh…

Mother, is this it?

Yes, this is it…

It’s Bamtol’s bracelet.

Ms. Jung, where’d you get this? Did you find this?

No.

This is Chadol’s.

Chadol’s?

Chadol’s? How’d he end up with it?

Did he find it? Or did someone give it to him?

The truth is…

… this was on his wrist when he first came to us.

So Chadol isn’t… your real son?

Was he adopted?

Yes, but I raised him as my own.

And he is my son.

How did this happen?

How’d he end up being raised by you?

My husband, while he was alive, brought him to us.

And we took him in as our youngest.

So your son, Chadol… is Yeonhwa’s son.

What do you mean? Didn’t she already find her son?

Seunghyun wasn’t her real son.

What do you mean? He’s not?

That’s why we published the ad, hoping find the real son.

I don’t understand…

Shinae, if this is Chadol’s…

We’d like to run a DNA test. Could you help?

DNA test?

- This is Chadol’s toothbrush. - Oh, toothbrush!

No, come with us. Get in.

- Me too? - Yes, of course, come.

Yeah, let’s go.

That’s him.

Okay, Mrs. Lee.

Hello.

Can I try this on?

That one? What size do you need?

270.

You have a white hair.

Oh… thank you.

I’ll come back later.

Okay.

Chadol, what was that?

Huh? I don’t know…

Thank you.

Please take care of it.

As soon as possible.

Okay.

I thought the results will be in, what’s taking so long?

The results are in.

- Please review it. - It’s out? How’s it?

What does it say? Is he it?

What does it say? Is he it? Is he?

He is. Their DNA matches as mother and son.

My gosh!

- My goodness. - How could this be…

Youngguk, how can this be?

My gosh, he was in front of us all along…

Ms. Jung, thank you. Thank you so much.

I have no more wishes in life. Thank you.

Wait, wait… Go and bring him to us.

I must let Yeonhwa see him…

What is it? Is she not picking up?

No, she’s not.

Why don’t you take me home first.

Yeonhwa, I’ve got to see her. I need to talk to her.

Yes, Mom.

Chadol… where are you?

I’m at the store. Are you crying?

I’m not. When’re you coming home?

I’ve got to check on a design first. What is it?

Come as soon as you can. We’ve got to go somewhere.

Where?

Come home when you can.

Okay.

I wonder what’s going on…

Yeonhwa!

Where is she? She’s not picking up her phone.

Ms. Lee!

- Ms. Lee! Ms. Lee! - Hello, Mrs. Ma.

Where is my daughter?

She’s not back yet.

What? Where can she be right now?

She’s not picking up.

Results are in.

Ms. Yeonhwa Koh and Chadol Park…

… shows a 99.9% DNA match…

… and are biologically related…

Does this mean he’s my son?

Yes, you’re right.

How can…

…how can this be…

Are you okay?

I’m fine.

Don’t let that person come back here.

I don’t ever want to see him again.

I’ll give you everything you want, just leave me alone!

Get these people out.

My kids, they didn’t do anything wrong! They didn’t!

Turn that off.

How dare you! Where’s your respect?

Like mother like son. You bastard!

Everyone’s got their own place.

That position’s not for you.

Mrs. Lee!

Shinae…

Mrs. Lee…

You came to see Chadol, right?

What am I going to do now?

What do I do about Chadol?

Mrs. Lee, you know everything, right?

Come inside.

Chadol somehow knew that he wasn’t home.

He didn’t even cry at first…

I even told him to cry if he’s hungry.

To let me know if he needs something.

Even as an infant, he didn’t cry?

How…. I’m sorry…

He was a good kid, it was not difficult to raise him.

No, he made me happy and I depended on him.

Mom, I’m here!

Chadol, Mrs. Lee…

Mom, why’re you crying?

What’s WRONG WITH YOU?

YOU CAME ALL THE WAY HERE TO MAKE HER CRY?

Come out! Come out now!

Chadol, Chadol! Chadol, don’t do this.

Chadol, don’t do! You shouldn’t do this.

What do you mean?

Why’s she here again? Why do you let her do this?

I won’t let her! Get out!

Chadol, do you know who she is?

Shinae, don’t. Don’t tell him, not yet…

This is your birth mother.

She is your mother. So don’t do this to her.

Mom… what did you say?

This is your real mother, Chadol.

You found the real son?

What? Chadol Park?

- Jangmi, I gave up. - Dad…

We’re from the prosecutor’s office, please come with us.

She’s done nothing wrong! Blame me!

I’m sorry Chadol, I am…

Why’d she find me now, hurting everyone else…
