Mom…

… what did you say?

She… is your birth mother.

What are you talking about?

That makes no sense.

You’re lying, right?

You’re kidding, right?

How can SHE…

… No way…

Chadol… this is your mother.

Your biological mother.

How…no way.

Chadol. Chadol!

Chadol! Chadol! Chadol!

Yeonhwa…

If you knew why didn’t you say anything?

Why didn’t you tell us?

How could I tell you guys…

How dare I… how could I…

That’s why you went to Ms. Jung’s house? To see him?

Shinae, what do I do?

What do we do… what if something happens.

I can imagine how shocked he must be.

Well… what do we expect…

We’ve been terrible to him…

… we hurt him so much…

I would be upset too. I wouldn’t want to see us…

Mother, calm down.

Honey, be calm.

He’s probably just shocked, he’ll be fine.

Yes, Mrs. Lee.

He’s mature and thoughtful, he’ll be back soon.

I’m a sinner to you, Shinae.

Mrs. Lee…

What?

Gangho Group’s Mrs. Lee is Chadol’s birth mother?

Is that why Chadol’s phone’s been off?

That’s incredible. That’s huge!

So Chadol’s now part of Gangho’s family?

So he might even become the CEO later?

He’s out somewhere in shock but that’s all that comes to your mind?

Why’s he overreacting? He’s probably too excited and happy.

You think he’s you?

I knew you were materialistic.

If that’s how you feel, go find yourself a rich mom too.

I didn’t say that. I need my mom.

I’m going inside, you guys eat when Sooryun comes.

Sooryun said she’s going to Jangmi’s house.

Then Sara, go make some dinner.

Sucks for you. Chadol’s Mr. Koh’s cousin.

Moving away can’t solve that.

End it before more people find out, okay?

My gosh, how could this happen?

Chadol, when did these orders come in? Chadol!

Chadol, what’s wrong?

Chadol!

Welcome. Come in, come in.

You’re here. Yeonhwa! Chadol’s here, he’s here!

Drink some.

I wanted to know…

… why I was abandoned.

Why my mother had to leave me…

Always wonder who I was and where I came from.

My life’s been filled with questions.

But I’m relieved now.

Thank you for bringing me to this world.

But I considered my mom now as my own.

She is the only mother to me.

You can’t expect me to accept you…

… as my mother now.

I want to continue living my life.

As my mother’s son and I don’t want things to change.

For now and in the future too.

I heard you are sick…

… I hope you get better.

I’m leaving.

Baby!

Baby!

This isn’t her fault! It’s not her fault!

It’s my fault. I did this!

I’ve done things that I shouldn’t have done.

Your mother was overjoyed to hear that you’re alive.

Don’t break her heart.

Hate me for what I’ve done.

It was all me, I did all this!

She had no idea, she didn’t know you were alive.

I’ve done a terrible thing, Chadol. Chadol…

Chadol…Chadol…

I beg you. I beg you, please.

I’ll raise her well, please. Please.

Your mother must be proud to have a son like you.

I thought you were a kind person.

I don’t know how rich you are.

But your wealth doesn’t give you the right to belittle others.

It’s distasteful.

If you hurt my mother again, you’ll pay for it.

Hey!

My daughter’s very ill. We need your mother’s help.

I beg you, please let her stay. Please.

Chadol, you’re home.

Where’ve you been?

Mom…

Yes.

You were shocked earlier, right?

Chadol, you’ve still got to see her.

She must be waiting.

I was there.

You were?

Good, Chadol. You did well.

Was she happy?

I told her…

…that nothing’s changed. That everything’s the same.

What do you mean?

I just got so angry…

… when I saw her face.

Why did she found me now… hurting everyone.

What’s the point…

So I said all these mean things…

… and it breaks my heart, Mom.

I know she’s not well…

I know she’s sorry…

Why did you do that?

You missed her.

You wanted to find her too.

But why’d you break her heart like that.

But what about you?

I can’t, not after all you’ve done for me.

Chadol, don’t be sorry. I’m fine.

I’m glad you found your real mother.

I’ll be fine if you’d want to live with her.

I’m really fine. I’m okay with anything.

Mom, stop doing this.

I mean it, I do.

Mom…

Chadol…I know how you feel.

I know how you’re feeling, Chadol. I know…

Honey!

Why’re you so startled? What’s this?

Where are you going? Are you leaving?

No, I’m not… I have to go out somewhere.

You said you’ll have dinner outside, no?

Are you going on a trip without me?

No, not at all.

I’ll tell you later.

What’s in here?

Did you pack food too? You’re not…

Yes, you’re right. I’m going to see Jangmi.

She’s got nothing at her house.

I’ve got to bring her some pans, plates and some food…

How dare you!

Didn’t you hear me before?

ARE YOU CRAZY? Why’re you throwing food?

I told you not do this!

I told you Jangmi’s not my daughter anymore, didn't I?

You did. But who could you?

You can tell me all you want but I can’t do that to her.

What?

Honey, let’s just let them be.

Chorong knows everything too.

Fine, then go live with her.

I’ll find a young mistress and get married.

What? A young mistress?

I’ll marry a young girl.

What, what did you say?

Why would a pretty, young girl marry you?

Because I have money.

I don’t need a wife like you, get out. Get out, OUT!

Manjong, what’s the matter?

How would you like a young and smart daughter-in-law?

Find me a nice girl.

What are you talking about?

Fine, let’s see how happy you’d be with a new wife.

I’m never ever coming back here. Never!

- That useless wife! - Geumja, Geumja!

Manjong, what’s going on?

Mother, look at this.

She’s been delivering these to Jangmi this whole time!

What kind of mother wouldn’t do that?

Mother, don’t open the door for her. This is really it.

Hope you get struck by a thunderbolt!

Mom…

Mom, he’s still your husband…

So? That’s what he deserves.

He told me he’d get a new wife and get married to her.

Even the way he treats you guys.

Enough is enough, how could he be so stubborn?

Mom, I’ll make you pumpkin cake to cheer you up.

Pumpkin cake? You know how to make that?

Mom, it’s really good.

She could open up a restaurant.

Then how about some rice wine with that?

Perfect!

So you finally found your real grandson?

Yeah, we did. It’s a miracle.

My gosh… congratulations, Mrs. Ma!

I can only imagine how excited you must be.

I bet you’re so excited you could dance around all day.

It’s the opposite of that.

Eh? What do you mean?

I thought once we find him, everything will be good.

But my daughter’s lying on her bed in sorrow.

What, why?

The boy resents her so deeply.

I can understand that, he must’ve been hurt.

He probably had resentments growing up.

And we mistreated him this whole time.

Not knowing he was our own. What do we do…?

Mistreated him?

I don’t understand… he’s someone you knew?

Yeah, you know him too…

What? I do too?

Who, who is it?

It’s your granddaughter’s kid…

… that kid’s father, Chadol Park.

Chadol…Chadol Park?

Yeah.

He was my grandson.

My gosh…

How can this happen…

Hello… Hello?

Mrs. Ma… you’re sure it’s Chadol?

Yes. We’ve done a DNA test too.

Mrs. Ma… let me call you later.

I’ve got to use the restroom.

Manjong! Manjong!

What did you say? Who’s the grandson?

Chadol Park! That Chadol, didn’t you hear me?

No …You’re pulling my leg, right?

No way.

They’ve done a DNA test.

Mr. Lee was aggressively looking for him…

Wait, wait…

So he’ll be Chadol Lee now.

We should’ve just let Chadol and Jangmi get married.

What do we do now?

No way…this can’t be happening.

How could this… Chadol Park…

I’m so dumb! How stupid!

I had no clue…what do I do? What do I do…?

What do you mean? You want me to play dumb?

As I said.

It’s as if you’ve never heard this about Chadol. Okay?

That’s not hard to do… but why?

Just watch me do my thing.

I’ve got a plan.

What’s he thinking?

Did she leave?

Yeah.

I feel bad seeing her carry that cello everywhere.

Mom, you’re really not going home?

I have pride too.

He told me he’d find a young mistress and marry her.

Why would I go back?

I’ll be humiliated if I do, no way.

Jangmi! Honey! Jangmi Baek!

That sounds like your dad.

Shouldn’t you be out looking for a mistress?

Dad…

What’s all this…

Don’t you know how I raised you?

… you’re breaking my heart.

Jangmi, pack up your things.

What are you talking about? Speak Korean.

She’s leaving me with no choice. We’re still family…

I’m giving in, you win.

Wait, does this mean you’re approving them?

Do I have a choice?

I can’t let my precious daughter live in this hole…

Dad…

Let’s go home. I’ll take Chadol and Chorong in.

Dad…

You should’ve done this earlier, what was all that for?

Jangmi, Dad said yes, let’s go home now.

Could you let me stay here though?

What, why?

I don’t want you to stay here.

If you don’t want to come home we’ll get you an apartment.

It’s not that.

I just want to be able to stand on my two feet.

I want to be independent, could you let me?

Okay.

Take your time and come when you’re ready.

Okay, I’ll think about that.

Bring Chadol home tonight. We’ll have dinner.

My gosh, you really meant it, huh?

You get back home too. We’ve got a guest tonight.

Okay, I’m coming. I’m coming, honey. .

My gosh, what are you doing? Jangmi’s here.

You look especially handsome today.

My gosh, come out.

Bring Chadol tonight, I’ll cook up something nice.

Okay.

His phone’s been off since yesterday.

Let’s go.

Hurry.

Chorong, let’s go.

Yeonhwa.

It’s a mushroom tea.

Drink it up.

It’ll help you feel better.

You finally found him, you have to be strong.

You haven’t heard from him, right?

No, not yet…

Yes.

Mrs. Lee. Ms. Jung is here, with her son and his kid.

Who… who?

Chorong.

This is your grandma and grandpa.

And this is your great grandmother.

Great grandmother?

Grandmother’s mother.

Oh, so the boss grandma.

Yeah. Boss grandma.

Chorong, good to see you, hello.

Hello…

Don’t stand there, come sit.

Sit down. Sit…

No, I better go. I’ve got to be somewhere.

Take your time, okay?

Dad, I want meat.

Meat?

It’s Mom’s favorite too. I wish she was here too.

Maybe later.

Yes, Chorong. Bring your Mom next time.

I want to meet her too.

Bring her.

Okay.

Daddy, the soup’s delicious.

It’s not hot? It’s delicious?

Yeah.

That’s what uncle and Daddy says, ‘delicious’ like that.

Like that?

She’s just so adorable, isn’t she.

She brightens up the mood.

How delicious.

It’s delicious? Let me try, it’s delicious.

It feels like a dream…

Seeing you here…

I don’t know where to start.

But…

I’m sorry …

… about yesterday.

No, no. Don’t apologize.

I’m glad you came…

I have no right to say anything to you.

You’ve been here this whole time…

And I didn’t even recognize you…

I can’t say anything even if you hate me for it.

But even if you hate me…

… I’d love to see you once in a while.

I… missed you.

A lot…

Well, I…

… did too.

Chadol… Chadol, I’m sorry.

I’m sorry… I’m sorry… I’m sorry.

I know my wife would want to apologize and thank you.

But she doesn’t have the courage.

That’s why I called you here.

It’s fine, I understand it all.

I know she’s sorry and thankful.

I’m really thankful that you brought Chadol to us.

No, I’m glad Chadol got to meet his real mother.

It’s really great and I’m glad.

I’m fine.

You raised him for 28 years.

And to send him back like this, that’s not easy to do.

How’s Chadol?

Did they talk a lot?

They were awkward at first, but it helped to have Chorong there.

I think they’re better now.

That’s good, I’m glad. After all, they’re mother and son.

Sara.

Mr. Koh… what do we do?

I don’t want to think about anything.

I’m glad my sister found him. I’m happy for her.

What about us? Huh?

I know there was that thing with your mom and my sister.

But that’s settled.

Then there’s Sooryun… but that’s long been over.

Now, your own brother, he’s a bigger problem for us.

But, Sara. I solved this seemingly insolvable issue.

You did? How?

Listen, Sara.

If your brother officially becomes my sister’s son.

Then that solves the problem. I’m a genius, I’m the best.

There’s no problem for us then, right?

He’ll officially be your family?

Yeah, if Chadol becomes Chadol Lee, you’re not related.

And you and I will have no problem, right?

You’re right. You’re a genius!

Genius. Sara!

My gosh, aren't we at work?

Mr. Koh and Sara, would you tone it down?

My apologies.

Sara!

Oppa!

Where have you been? I’ve been calling you.

Oppa, what’s wrong? Is everything okay?

Jangmi… I found my mother.

My birth mother…

What? How?

What’s she like? Have you met her?

Mrs. Lee of Gangho Group…

… she’s my birth mother.

What?

It’s been hectic lately, I’m sorry I didn’t call you back.

Don’t be, that’s huge… I’m so happy for you.

But you must’ve been shocked.

There’s more though…

More? What is it?

My dad approved of us.

What? Really?

He gave in to me.

He saw the way I was living and said he’s giving in.

He told me to bring you for dinner.

I’ll make it clear that my approval’s not for your sake.

I just don’t want Jangmi to live there anymore.

And it’s for Chorong.

So you’ve got to be good to them.

Yes, I will.

I’ll be watching, I can always take it back.

So be on your guard.

You can’t just take it back like that.

Don’t mind him, he won’t do that.

I’m not just saying this.

Yes, I know. Don’t worry, I’ll be good to them.

I appreciate the attitude.

Take this and let’s put the past behind us.

Let me offer.

Me too, it’s a good day. I want some.

Okay.

How can you turn down alcohol, right? No way.

- Cheers. - Cheers.

Something really great happened to Chadol.

What is it?

He found his birth mother.

It’s someone everyone knows. Mrs. Lee of Gangho Group.

My gosh…

… is that true?

How could that happen? Is this true?

Yes.

My gosh…how could she be your mother?

He’s got a real talent.

He should’ve been an actor not Jangmi.

What? Jangmi’s Dad approved?

Yes.

How ridiculous.

The moment they find out about Gangho, they accept you?

It’s not like that.

They didn’t know about that, I told them.

Don’t be naive.

If that was the case, they would’ve accepted Gangtae first.

That’s ridiculous. Watch, you’ll see that I was right.

Anyway, it’s great news for Chorong.

Mom, you’ll accept Jangmi too now?

Chadol, you can’t expect that from her.

Even I can’t accept her.

Chadol, congrats on finding your mother.

Thanks.

Mother, why’re you up?

I took a nap, I can’t sleep now.

You asked me to play dumb so you can approve them?

What choice do I have? I can’t kick her out forever.

Right, good.

Either way, Jangmi will be Gangho’s family.

You're a district rep, Jangmi’s Gangho’s daughter-in-law.

I can die in peace now.

Don’t say that Mother.

You’ve got to live long, remember?

Yes, yes.

Wait, Mother.

Sunjin Corp’s Jongtae Lim has been arrested on suspicion of corruption.

2 trillion dollars? That’s a lot of money.

[A list of civil servants who accepted bribes have been discovered.]

[With this discovery, a full investigation has been launched on charges.]

What’s wrong?

Nothing, it’s nothing.

What? I’m on the list too?

Attorney Park, you’re sure?

I’m not leading the investigation but be ready.

Okay… thanks.

Manjong, what’s wrong? What’s the matter?

Why’re you doing this?

Mom, find me a shovel and a large plastic bag. Hurry.

Shovel and a bag? What for?

Do we HAVE to do this?

What if someone finds it and steals it?

Who’ll do that? This is our little secret.

What are we doing in the middle of the night?

I feel like a refugee.

We are like refugees.

Okay.

Even if something happens, we’ll have this so don’t worry.

This is a secret between me and you, okay?

Of course. Who would I tell this to?

But what’s the matter?

I don’t think anything will happen.

But IF something happens, keep an eye on these.

Manjong, why are you saying that!

You’ll give me a heart attack!

I’m saying, IF… if it happens…

What are you two doing?

We came for some fresh air.

Why’re you out?

To get water but couldn't find you guys.

Mother couldn’t sleep. We’re going in now.

It’s the middle of the night, come inside. It’s cold.

Okay, okay. Let’s go.

What do these people want, Manjong?

We’re from the Prosecutor’s officer.

Are you Mr. Manjong Baek?

Yes, I am.

You’re under investigation.

In connection with Sunjin Corp’s corruption charges.

Please come with us.

Honey. Honey…

What are you talking about? What’s going on?

Please cooperate.

Manjong!

Mother, don’t worry, it’s just for questioning.

Mom, just remember what I said last night.

Honey! Honey…

Take care of her, okay?

Hey! Let go of him!

- Manjong! - Honey!

Manjong!

Manjong! Manjong!

Where are you going, Manjong! My gosh…

Stop right there!

He hasn’t eaten anything!

- Manjong, where are you going? - Mother!

What’s going on? What do I do?

Mother! Mother…

This is when he was in elementary.

He grew a lot.

He’d grow day by day, getting taller.

He was an adorable baby and grew up fast.

Not only that.

He was kind hearted and thoughtful.

He was?

I’ve got to show off.

This is what he gave me.

It’s an old wallet.

You’re right.

I gave him $2 every week for allowance when he was in 6th grade.

$2?

Yeah.

And he saved it all up and got me this wallet.

It’s a leather wallet, quite expensive. He was proud of it.

And few days ago…

… he bought me a car.

You’ve a lot of memories with him. I’m jealous.

You can start now, it’s not too late.

I really want to.

I’d love to… but I don’t know where to start…

I’m sorry… I’m always crying…

Just take it one step at a time.

Doing something every time you see him.

What’s this?

Read it.

Taking a walk, drinking tea, movies and grocery shopping.

What’s this?

It’s a list of things Mrs. Lee wants to do with you.

It's not hard to do these.

Chadol, why don’t you open up to her?

She may not have a lot of time.

Hey, it’s me.

Do you want to go on a date with me?

What? Date?

What a nice day.

It’s really nice.

I know, right?

Link arms with me. That’s what sons are for.

I got the memo from Mom.

Taking a walk, going to the movies.

Drinking tea and grocery shopping.

We’ll do it, one at a time.

You must be busy with work.

But I can make time for you, Mom.

Mom?

Mom, I know a cafe there. Let’s go there.

Okay.

It’s really nice.

So you never accepted money from Sunjin Corp?

You know that we have a list to prove it, right?

Look here, Mister. That’s no evidence.

That’s just what Mr. Lee scribbled. It proves nothing.

It’s not like you have proof of it in my account…

Bribes don’t get wired to bank accounts.

Then stop talking about the list. Bring me real evidence.

If you keep harassing me without evidence, this won’t end well.

I’m a district rep and am favored by my party leader.

In 4 years, I’ll be in Congress.

Plus, I wasn’t going to mention this.

But I’ll become Gangho Group’s in-law soon.

So what? Is that a threat?

Threat? Not at all, not even close.

I’m just saying.

My daughter’s about to get married to Gangho.

What’s that little money going to do for me?

So you’re denying? Bring him in.

This is Mr. Lim’s driver.

He said he’s driven to your house.

So? So what if he came to my house.

They think a driver’s testimony’s enough to get me arrested?

- There he is. - He’s coming.

Mr. Baek, you’ve just been questioned for a corruption charge.

Do you accept the charges?

No such thing happened, there’s nothing to accept.

This is a conspiracy, a smear campaign.

When the truth comes out, I’ll sue them for defamation.

Does this mean you won’t be summoned again?

Manjong… Manjong…

Grandma, eat this.

Manjong…

… what do I do. Manjong…

Mother, Manjong’s home. He’s home.

What?

Mother! Mother!

Manjong, Manjong…

You look terrible.

Are you okay? Is everything okay?

Yes, Mother. As you can see.

What happened? Were you released?

You didn’t accept bribes, right?

Of course now, I got released, didn't I?

You guys shouldn’t worry.

My gosh, thank you, God. Thank you so much!

- Dad, did you sleep? - Have you eaten?

My gosh, Geumja, get some food for him.

Okay, okay. Mother.

Mother, is everything okay?

Yeah, nothing happened here.

I made sure nothing happened to the babies.

Okay Mother…

My gosh…

Attorney Park, I just got released, what’s the status?

It looks bad. You might get arrested.

What? A, arrested?

Yeah, you’ve got to find a good lawyer. I’ve got to go.

Attorney Park, Attorney Park!

Arrested? I’ll end up in jail?

No way! That won’t happen! Why would I?

Manjong.

Didn’t you say everything’s okay? What’s wrong?

It’s nothing. I’ll handle it, don’t worry.

Mother, I’ll be back.

Hey, you’ve got to eat something.

Jangmi! Jangmi!

Yes, Dad.

Where’s Chadol?

Chadol? Why do you ask?

I need his help. Call him, right now.

Okay, Oppa, it’s me…

It’s Jangmi’s father. Come meet me at Mr. Lee’s house, now!

What’s wrong with him?

- You’re here. - Why’d you bring me here?

We’ve got no time for that.

Who is it?

I’m Manjong Baek. Our Chadol…

I brought Chadol with me.

What is this about?

Go, get inside first.

Father, you’ve got to tell me what’s going on.

Just sit there, for Jangmi and Chorong’s sake.

Chadol…

Mr. Lee, it’s me your in-law.

In-law?

What brings you here?

Mr. Lee, please help me.

What are you talking about?

Well…

I’m sure you’ve heard but.

I’m about to become your in-law.

I’m your granddaughter’s grandfather.

So please, would you help me get out of this situation.

And clear my name.
