Mr. Baek… it’s time to go.

Just one second… please.

Chorong, hello.

Hello, Grandpa.

Hi. Chorong, I’m sorry for everything.

Be a good kid, okay?

Okay, but where are you going?

Somewhere far.

I see…

Be healthy, Grandpa.

Okay.

Let’s go.

- Honey, Honey! - Let’s hurry.

Honey, Honey. Honey, Honey!

Honey! Honey! HONEY!

Now the cutting of the ribbon, everyone gather.

Jangmi, come here.

It’s okay.

Mom, hurry.

Chorong, I’ll stay here.

Jangmi, come. You’ve got to be here too.

Jangmi, come! It’s an opening ceremony.

Everyone ready?

So now the cutting of the ribbons.

Three… two… one.

Come inside everyone.

- This is for the younger crowd. - It’s nice.

My gosh, you did all this by yourself. I’m proud of you.

This is all thanks to you, Mrs. Jung. All you.

Thank you for raising him.

Not at all. This is all him.

I’m so proud of him too.

Stop it, I’m embarrassed.

I tried so many times to recruit you.

Look what you did.

He’s also opening up 10 more stores.

Great. It’s really impressive.

Come this way.

Honey, are you okay?

I am, I’m fine.

Honey, you should go to the hospital.

I don’t want to make a scene. We’ll go later.

When it’s finished.

It’s a good day for Chadol…

Maybe that’s why she doesn’t look so ill.

She looks like she’s asleep, deep in her sleep.

I wish all the cancer goes away, disappear forever.

Like it’s all a dream…

Dr. Jang, she seems to be going through phases.

Is this a bad sign?

Not necessarily.

Symptoms tend to get worse but it’s looking good for her.

- Is that so? - Are you sure?

Yes, as long as she maintains it, it’s looking for hopeful.

Is there a hope for her to get better?

You should still be prepared for the worst.

As long as she maintains, she can have more time.

She’s still leaving us. Time’s running out.

She loves spending time with Chadol.

- Chorong. - What?

How can she leave in peace, leaving them behind?

It’s unfair…

I’m sorry, I’m always crying.

Mother… you wanted to talk…

Right, you’re right.

Well, I… forget it, I shouldn’t…

It’s okay, just tell me.

No, I know I’m being greedy now.

I can’t get greedier.

If it’s about my wife, tell me. Go ahead.

I was thinking…about Chadol.

How about we accept him… forget it.

It’s nothing. That’s too much, I shouldn’t.

It’s not, Mother. I was thinking the same thing.

Youngguk!

This could be my last present for her.

I can’t let her leave like this.

Youngguk… Youngguk…

But this isn’t up to us, right?

I’ll talk to Shinae about it.

Thank you, thank you, Youngguk.

What did you want to talk about?

My wife’s… she’s been hospitalized.

She was okay few hours ago.

She didn’t want to make a scene at the ceremony.

I should let Chadol know.

Not yet. That’s not what she wants.

She doesn’t want him to see her like that.

Then I should go.

Shinae.

I’ve got to talk to you about Chadol.

What is it?

What is it, just tell me.

I was wondering if we can…

… officially adopt him… as our son.

What?

I saw her lying on that bed.

Then it occurred to me that there’s nothing left of her life.

She finally met her son but doesn’t have much time.

It’s just on paper but… at least he’ll be her son.

Then she’ll be able to leave… in peace…

So you want to make Chadol part of the Lee family.

I know it’s tough for you. You could… say no.

To be honest…

… I didn’t expect this from you.

I’m a bit nervous… and hurt too.

I’m sorry, Shinae.

But I’m also thankful that you asked.

He’s been through a lot.

Growing up without a father…

But if he becomes your family, he’ll have you as his father.

Well… I’m glad I got to raise him this far.

Don’t worry but I think this is up to Chadol.

I’ll talk to him… I better go.

Yeah, he’ll still be my baby, that won’t change.

What? He’ll be their family?

No way, we can’t do that.

Oppa, be reasonable. He’ll be the son of Gangho.

It’s not a bad decision.

Not a bad decision? Do you know what this means?

He’s changing his last name, from Park to Lee.

Still, we’ve got to do what’s best for him.

Sara, you’ve no idea what you’re saying.

I’m making myself clear, this isn’t happening. Okay?

Gangtae, Chadol’s not your son. He’s my son.

I never said he wasn’t.

I’ll make the decision. It’s up to him.

So whatever he decides to do, respect that. Okay?

I’m home.

What’s wrong? Is… everything okay?

Chadol… let me talk to you.

What is it?

Chadol, Mrs. Lee’s been hospitalized.

Really? She was fine earlier.

She wasn't, she just didn't want to make a scene.

I better go see her then.

Chadol, listen to me before you leave.

I met Mr. Lee earlier.

He said that there’s not much time left for Mrs. Lee.

What?

He wants to see if they can officially take you in.

I agreed to it.

Mom…

Don’t over think it. Or feel sorry to me.

You’re just going back to your place.

How can you be so nonchalant about this?

I’m just happy to have been with you for this long.

And I can always see you whenever I want.

But that’s not the case for Mrs. Lee…

It’ll break my heart to see her go like this.

She is your mother. So do it, Chadol.

Mom…

He’s officially being adopted?

How could you guys not ask me?

Yeonhwa, I know you want to do that too.

But how could I? I can’t be that greedy.

Mrs. Jung agreed too. It’s up to Chadol.

Why should we burden him this way?

You know he’s too kind to make a decision like this.

Honey, go tell Shinae that we made a mistake.

Honey, calm down.

Sis, if Chadol agrees, just do it.

He is your son, you finally found him.

If he says no, I’ll make him accept this.

Jaedong.

Chadol, you’re here.

Yes.

I was worried you’d be sick.

You seem okay, how do you feel?

I’m fine.

I’m going to take a walk with him.

Chadol, take her for a walk.

Okay.

Should we sit down?

Yes.

I heard everything.

Don’t worry about it.

That doesn’t matter for me.

I’m just thankful to have you by my side.

I don’t want you to be troubled by this, okay?

I have so many things I want to do with you.

I’m just sad that I’m wasting time here like this.

Don’t be sorry.

We said we’d do all of that. We’d go travel too.

Okay.

We will and make memories there.

The sun feels nice… it’s great…

Why didn’t I appreciate this before…

Yeonhwa! Yeonhwa!

Yeonhwa! Look at this! Look!

Chadol finally became our family, he’s your son.

- Look at it! - Let me see, let’s see.

Your Sis should see first. Yeonhwa, look.

How odd, it’s just a piece of paper.

Why am I crying over this?

We have a son now.

Thank you, honey.

I owe you indefinitely, thank you. I’ll never forget this.

Yes, Mrs. Lee.

Did you hear? Chadol made his decision.

Yeah, I got the call too. Congratulations.

Thank you, this couldn’t have happened without you.

Chadol’s going back to his place so don’t feel bad.

But Shinae, just call me Yeonhwa.

That’ll be better.

Okay, I will.

What’s all this food? What’s the occasion?

It’s a day that Chadol was born again.

How gracious are you to celebrate for him.

You made the soup I like too.

Of course, this is my oldest’s favorite.

Yeah, Chadol and Chorong aren’t going anywhere.

What’s the big deal, things happen, am I right, Mom?

Look at you. Try this.

It’s delicious, it’s good.

Sooryun, you too.

Sooryun, what’s the matter? It’s delicious.

I don’t know… I’m not feeling well…

Sooryun… are you…?

You’re pregnant.

6 weeks now.

Gangtae…

What do you mean, you’re not quitting film.

Let’s give it 3 more years.

We’ll have a baby now. You can’t work like that.

Don’t worry, don’t you know me?

I have savings that’ll last us 3 years.

I can’t do that to you.

I told you. If you’re sorry, work harder on your scripts.

I know you can make good films.

Sooryun…

It’s the producer, what a timing.

No, I can’t make it today.

What? What did you say?

Mr. Lee read your script and he wired 2 billion to invest!

Really?

It’s for reals this time.

Do you know who this investor is?

He’s the investor for all the recent box office hits.

Every single one of them, this is huge!

He’s the Midas hand of the industry and he picked you!

Is this real? My movie, it’ll get produced?

Yes, I told you! I knew a day like this will come!

It’s $87 dollars.

All on the card?

Yes, Sooryun.

What? Are you serious?

That’s great! Your father must be happy.

I ended early so I’m going to visit your father.

Let me come with you.

No, don’t. He wouldn’t want to see you.

He doesn’t want to see you guys yet. I’ll go alone.

Sooryun, congratulations.

Tell Gangtae that too.

Honey, I think good things are going to happen now.

Sooryun’s pregnant and Gangtae got a contract for his film.

I think the baby’s a good sign.

You know what else? There’s more.

Chadol officially became Gangho’s son.

He’s now part of the Lee family and not Park.

Are you happy? That’s your wish coming true.

Jangmi’s going to be Gangho’s family.

Did you go visit Mother?

Oh, I meant to go last week. But it was raining…

She must be lonely there.

Go visit her more than me. Take care of her grave.

Do you know how tired I am after work?

I get 1 day off, can’t spend it on visiting her.

Once a year’s enough, isn’t it?

Go visit her instead of coming here. That’s what I want.

How much longer are you going to do this?

If you’re this worried then go do it yourself.

Can’t you be concerned for me too? How heartless.

Chadol’s my nephew now so we have no problem.

Legally yes…

I know it’ll be hard at first but everything will pan out soon.

Then Mr. Koh, want to come say hello to my mom?

Wh, what… Should I?

Who’s this?

Mr. Koh. I thought I was clear last time.

What brings you here?

I was walking Sara home. I thought I should say hello.

How funny. Didn’t I tell you this won’t work?

No, it can work.

Chadol’s now my family so he’s not related to Sara.

There aren’t any issues legally.

My gosh, you’ve got a low IQ AND EQ.

Stop talking about that.

How smart are you?

Think about what you just said.

How do you suppose that my mom must feel?

You don’t think about that, do you?

You’re audacious to walk in here wanting to say hello.

So what if there’s no legal issues here.

Uncle! Auntie!

Hey… this is your lucky day.

I’ll come back at a later time.

But I’ll be back, remember that.

Uncle, what brings you here?

Huh? Nothing, I’ve got to go.

Let’s go in, Sooryun, let’s go.

I’m so glad we’ve got reasons to celebrate today.

And Chadol, congrats.

- So cheers, everyone! - Cheers!

Congratulations on your baby!

Thank you, Chadol.

Chorong, what’s a good name for the baby?

How about bright Star? Kind of like my name.

Star? Star sounds good.

So even if it’s a boy, you’ll name him Star?

Why do you look so down, are you okay?

I’ve got something to say.

Sara, not today. Not today.

Then some other day?

Sooryun, she’s really dumb. Just like him.

What?

Whatever it is, let’s cheers to Gangtae’s new film.

- It’ll take time. - Still, cheers!

Yeonhwa! Yeonhwa! Yeonhw!

Mother, what’s the matter?

Youngguk, Yeonhwa fainted again. Call Dr. Jang!

What’s going on?

Jaedong, do something about your sister.

- Why? - Do something!

Dr. Jang…

… thank you!

Rest up.

Thank you.

What for?

For everything. All of it.

Me too, thank you.

Honey…

When I leave… I hope you can be at peace.

Don’t live alone all depressed…

Answer me.

Okay.

And… Mom…

Don’t worry, I’ll take care of her.

Should I call Chadol?

I don’t want him to see me like this…

But Shinae…could you call her?

Why’s he calling?

Yes, it’s me. I’ll be right there.

Welcome, Shinae.

Are you okay?

Shinae…

… I owe you so much.

You’ve done so much for me.

But I returned all that favor by hurting you.

No, don’t say that. Don’t feel that way.

But here I am, asking you for a favor again…

Could you do one thing for me?

My son… and my husband…

Please take care of them.

Mrs. Lee, don’t say that.

Thank you for raising Chadol so well.

I’ll remember this and pay you back in the next life.

Chadol, go see your mom. Hurry, before it’s too late…

Mom, No. No, NO!

[1 Year Later]

What’s taking him so long?

They said he was released a while ago.

What?

I think we got out earlier. Maybe he’s at home?

Home?

He’s not here, where could he be?

What if something happened to him?

He probably needs some time to gather his thoughts.

Jangmi’s wedding’s coming up, when’ll he show up?

Maybe there’s some place he wanted to go.

A place he wanted to go? Right, he must be there.

Yes, I’m sure. That’s it.

Mom…

I knew it.

If you got released, you should’ve came home.

What are you doing here, let’s go home.

I can’t go.

I told you, Chadol got us our house back.

I can’t leave my mother here.

Are you going to live here? Aren’t you scared?

My mother’s here, I’m not scared.

I know you’re a good son, everyone knows that.

But Jangmi’s wedding’s soon, you’ve got to be ready.

I can’t go to her wedding. I’m not going.

What about me then? I stayed with you all this time.

I know you loved your mother but she’s gone and I’m here.

Then let me ask you one thing:

Are you coming home or not?

I can’t leave her here.

Okay, fine. Then do you as you wish!

We’re becoming a family now, it’ll be the start of a new life.

Let’s just be happy and stay strong.

I’ll take care of you two.

Okay.

Everyone! Fighting!

- Fighting. - Fighting!

Jangmi looks beautiful.

Mom, don’t cry. If you cry, Jangmi will cry.

Don’t cry, your makeup will smudge.

Okay, I’m not crying.

Dad’s falling in love with Mom.

What?

Jangmi, I’ll see you soon.

Take a picture of us. Sooryun, come.

Gangtae, it’s been awhile. Congrats.

Thank you. Wait, wait.

I thought I saw Father.

Jaebong, see you later.

Jangmi, you look beautiful.

You’ve got to be happy.

I’m sorry, I don’t have the courage to come see you.

I’m sorry, Jangmi…

Everyone, may I please have your attention.

Now the bride and groom will enter.

Please greet them with a round of applauds. Come in!

Oppa!

I’m a kissy bug!

Get off my daughter!

You’re pretty.

I wish I had a Mom like you.

Chadol…

… don’t ever let go each other’s hands.

I’ll be watching from heaven.

Mom…

Jangmi…

Take a good care of my son.

Sometimes he’ll make you upset…

… You’ll want to let go of the hand.

But just hold on then soon…

He’ll be your best friend. Do that for each other.

- Yes, Mother. - Thanks.

Mom…

Thank you.

My son…

My son…

Okay.

The two of them will now march towards their rosy future.

It came out?

Whoa, looks good.

Isn’t she beautiful?

My gosh, We get it. She’s your wife.

She’s pretty much doing this for free.

You know how busy she is, right?

Fine, hang it over there.

She’s practically selling those shoes.

The sales skyrocketed thanks to her.

Okay, I got it the first time. I got it!

Appa!

Oppa, we’re here.

Let’s go.

I’m here.

I brought some kimchi for you. What do you think?

Good.

Eh? Where’s my picture?

You’re in the group picture.

Mom has her own.

I guess she’s still number 1 in your heart.

You want ramen?

Yeah, your ramen’s the best.

I told you.

You’ve got to keep your promise.

3 years, that’s it. And then you’re coming home.

I’m getting used to this place now.

You heard about my transfer, right?

I’m leaving on Sunday for America.

This Sunday? That’s so soon.

Yeah, it’ll be years until I’m back.

Mr. Koh.

What are you going to do?

What’s your decision? Are you coming with me?

Start a new life away from all of this. Let’s do that.

I can’t leave my family like that.

So you won’t come with me? You sure?

Cut! You’ve got to be desperate.

You’re crazy in love!

Shinae!

Bbangguk!

You’ve been well?

Yeah.

You too?

It’s been awhile. You got better, huh?

- Daddy, take a picture! - Me too!

Okay, look here.

One, two, three!

Should we take one?

One, two, three!

Chorong, look at Mommy.

Oppa, ready?

Daddy, hurry, hurry!

- Hurry! - Daddy!

Hurry!

Okay!

Everybody look here! One, two, three...

Isn’t that Jangmi Baek? Jangmi Baek?

- Right, that’s her. - She’s so pretty.

Jangmi! Chorong!

Yeah, there’s no reason to hide.

We’re a family now.

My mom and dad got married.

We’re a family now.

Thank you.

Mommy and Daddy are kissing!

- Chorong. - What?

Kiss! Kiss! Kiss!
