Get your hand off of her.

Ms. Ji.

What's wrong?

Woo Joo.

Could you stand over there? I'll be right with you.

All right.

What do you think you're doing?

What's wrong?

I was passing by and saw a girl...

from our art competition.

So I was going to give her a small gift.

Is there a problem?

Since when have you been so warmhearted?

Then what on earth are you doing right now?

Why?

She's the daughter of a guy I like.

Is there a problem?

A stranger might think you're her mom or something.

Well, you'll be her stepmom if you marry that guy,

so I guess you're her mom in a way.

If you figured that out,

don't touch that girl with your dirty hands.

What about you?

Are you allowed to touch her with the hands that killed my son?

Go.

You're keeping her waiting.

That cheeky girl.

She got an idea to become her stepmother.

Do you really think things will go as you planned?

(Lie After Lie)

(Episode 8)

Did that surprise you a lot?

A little.

I've never seen you that angry before.

I'm sorry.

I thought a stranger was taking you away.

Woo Joo, what did that person do to you?

She just said hi. And she stroked my head.

But how did you end up picking me up?

My aunt said she was going to come.

Something came up for your aunt, so your dad asked me.

This feels great.

Actually, there was an event at my school today.

A choir competition for moms.

My friends all said they couldn't hang out with me...

because their moms came, so I had been a bit depressed.

So it feels great to see you here.

Really?

Then Woo Joo, do you want to do the art lesson...

outside?

Where at?

That's a secret.

- Let's go. - Let's hurry.

And then...

Then draw in the beak and the legs.

- That's a chicken. - Do you want to give it a try?

Yes.

Get the watercolour.

- Ta-Da. - That's a butterfly.

- Is that a butterfly? - Yes, a butterfly.

Flower petals.

Dad, I'm doing my art lesson at my teacher's house,

so pick me up here later.

My goodness. She's giving Eun Su a hard time.

Hey, she's that person from that time, right?

- It is her. - What are you doing?

She's the woman who took Woo Joo...

to the art competition in his place.

- Yes. - That happened?

If you're willing to leave Woo Joo with her,

that means she isn't just an acquaintance.

Wait, is she the woman from the cherry blossom festival?

- The one who listened to the waves? - Is that her?

- No, it's... - It is her!

Hey, this is a huge scoop.

Hey, Mr. Choi, Ms. Jung. What are you doing?

Interview him right away.

Yes, sir. Please look into the camera.

Since when did this begin, and how do you feel right now?

What are you doing?

Stop laughing.

I need to work at a different department.

- Move. - Hey, man.

You're blushing. Let me see your face!

Ms. Ji.

Yes?

This is something I haven't even told my friends.

To be honest, I wanted to be tutored to become the first place.

But my dad said,

"Think about what art means to you."

And?

It was a friend.

At first, I began to draw because I wanted to show off.

But after I took lessons from you, it feels more like a friend,

and I'll be okay even if I don't become the first place.

Then do you want me to share a secret with you too?

To be honest,

there is a precious photo...

I couldn't show anyone.

What's it of?

In the distant future,

if I ever get the courage to show it to someone,

I'll show it to you first.

Really?

I promise.

It's a promise.

Woo Joo.

Dad!

- I'll do it now. - No. It's okay.

My dad has a rule when he grills meat.

He'll never hand over the tongs to anyone when he grills meat.

Precisely.

Once you get a taste of pork belly I grill,

you'll never offer to help again.

In that case, I will make a lettuce wrap for my dad...

who is working hard grilling meat.

- All done. Dad? - Yes?

Here.

Woo Joo, your lettuce wrap is the best in this world.

Why did you want to see me?

That girl.

Eun Su's daughter.

How did you say...

you got rid of her?

I dumped her in the water.

Yes, that's what you said.

It must've been freezing...

to be on the cold lake floor.

Why do you suddenly bring up that incident?

I kept getting reminded of her today.

That little baby. It was only momentary,

but I held her in my arms.

Don't you remember that?

It has been long forgotten.

Do you resent me?

That's the heart of a mother who lost her child.

You want the culprit to feel the same way...

even if you must risk your life.

Would you ever understand that?

Yes.

Your mouth says yes, but your eyes say no.

This is your problem.

You become too weak...

in the most crucial moment.

And that's also why I like you.

Here.

What is this?

It's nothing much.

I want you to have this tested yourself.

Please hang on a second.

This is my favourite wine.

I bought it on my way here.

- Wine? - Yes.

I like to drink wine.

I just bought what I like,

so I'm not sure you'll like it too.

Don't worry. I'll enjoy it.

Thank you for today.

I had a great time.

All right then.

- Oh, right. - Well...

You go ahead.

Do you have time this weekend?

I'd like to watch the movie you talked about with you.

I'd love to.

But the movie is not playing in theatres anymore.

I'll see you then.

I like to drink wine.

Tonight is fine. If you want to see me, I'm there.

What do you want to do?

Let's do whatever you want.

(Seoul Sewoon Elementary School)

This is so pretty.

Where did you get it?

I went to a department store.

This was the prettiest one, so I bought it.

Really?

She's bragging again.

That's what she always does.

This necklace is new.

My art teacher gave me this.

Really? The teacher who taught us the other day?

This is so pretty.

Let me see.

- What is it? - I want to see it.

Move over. I want to see it.

- Gosh, it's so pretty. - Move over.

This is amazing.

It's so cute.

Guys, try this.

What is it?

- My mom made cookies. - It looks delicious.

- Thank you. - Thank you.

Here.

Thank you.

Why are you giving me two?

My mom says you're pitiful.

So she told me to be extra nice to you.

Why am I pitiful?

Because you don't have a mom.

I guess she gets lessons about how to upset others.

Here. You should eat these then.

Why? I have a mom.

But you have no friends.

So you always try to make friends...

with your pretty clothes and cookies.

Otherwise, no one would care about you.

Darn.

That's not true!

Gosh.

What's all this?

I'm going to make wine.

For what reason?

If this wine ages well, we should have a wine party.

That sounds lovely.

What is this?

Cookies. Try some.

Jin Gook seemed depressed,

so I made something sweet for him.

If it tastes good, I will sell them at my bakery.

Why is Jin Gook depressed?

He's sad because of Woo Joo.

What did Woo Joo do?

Don't get me started.

Apparently, Woo Joo and Hye Yeong had a big fight at school today.

Jin Gook says Hye Yeong got on Woo Joo's nerves,

pointing out that she doesn't have a mom.

What?

So Woo Joo didn't put up with it.

"But you have no friends." She talked back like this.

So Hye Yeong threw a tantrum crying.

Even her mom came to school.

I guess there was a big fuss.

Why would a mom meddle in a fight between kids?

Eun Su. Eun Su?

How dare you make my daughter cry?

I didn't make her cry.

What do you mean?

You said Hye Yeong had no friends.

But she was the one who first...

Look at you. You wouldn't back off.

Hey, if you make fun of your friends, no one would like you.

People would say you're ill-mannered because you don't have a mom.

So what I'm trying to say is...

You're worse.

What?

You told Hye Yeong that I'm pitiful.

Why am I pitiful?

Why?

What are you raising your voice for?

Did your dad teach you like that?

This is why they say kids need a good upbringing.

Behave yourself.

Stop right there.

Teacher.

Who are you?

I see. The art teacher?

What's the matter?

What did you just say to Woo Joo?

I just taught her some lesson.

Do you have a problem?

No.

If she did something wrong, she needs to be disciplined.

But I think it's you who needs to learn some lesson.

What did you say?

Do you want me to repeat?

I'm afraid a word from an immature person...

might hurt my precious Woo Joo's feeling.

So I want you to go and learn your lesson.

"An immature person"?

Yes.

Kids can make mistakes. Because they are young.

And adults should tell them what's wrong.

That insulting others is a bad thing to do.

But you took the head...

in touching a kid's sore spot. Just look at yourself...

and see how pathetic it is.

I can't believe this.

Woo Joo, sometimes there are grown-ups...

who are more immature than kids.

So you don't have to feel hurt by what she says.

Let's go.

What on earth...

Woo Joo, where are you now?

I see. Your grandpa and grandma want to have dinner with you.

I'm going to pick you up now.

Really? Are you sure I don't have to come?

Okay. Be careful on your way here.

What did she say?

Her art teacher will walk her here.

But why are you calling her over all of a sudden?

I told you.

I can't let Ji Min lead a lonely life anymore.

What does it have to do with Woo Joo?

My point.

What does Ji Min do after work?

- Helping Woo Joo with her homework. - Right.

Then what does Ji Min do on weekends?

- He plays with Woo Joo. - Right.

- I get it. - I get it.

I've given it some thought.

If I want Ji Min to date a woman,

I should get Woo Joo away from him.

You're right. He should be able to be alone to meet someone.

Woo Joo is all he can think about right now.

So I'll do whatever I need to.

I'll do whatever I can if Ji Min could meet a woman.

(Woojoo Restaurant)

This is my grandparents' restaurant.

I see.

All right then. Go inside now.

Okay.

I like you, Ms. Ji.

Me too. I like you so much.

Okay then. I'll see you later.

See you.

Grandma! Grandpa!

(Woojoo Restaurant)

Excuse me.

I'm Woo Joo's mother.

(Woojoo Restaurant)

So you're my daughter's...

art teacher?

Yes, I am.

Since when?

It hasn't been long.

It hasn't been long?

Yet you seem to have a great affection for her.

I saw you at the apartment block.

You did?

Yes.

You acted like you were Woo Joo's mother.

I just did what I had to do.

Then just do what you have to do.

But don't cross the line.

What do you mean?

Is Woo Joo the one you're interested in?

Are you sure you're not doing this because of Ji Min?

Why do I have to explain myself to a stranger?

Not a stranger.

Woo Joo's mother.

I'll cut to the chase.

If you're doing this because of Ji Min,

back off.

Do you think you're qualified...

to say so?

Ji Min and I are getting back together.

I'm going back.

It's the best thing that we can do for our child.

Because I'm the one Woo Joo needs right now.

Then...

where were you all this time?

Where were you when Woo Joo missed you?

What about today? Where were you when she needed you?

She was humiliated and treated wrongly.

And you were just watching?

You should've been the first one to come and defend her.

You don't know anything about me. How dare you?

At least I know...

that you can't show up proudly.

That's what I know about you.

Let me cut to the chase too.

As for Woo Joo's father,

I like him.

And I'm sure I can be a good mother...

to Woo Joo.

So I can't comply with your request to back off.

A good mother?

You're trying to seduce my man by winning favour with my child.

Do you think I don't know that?

You can't say that if you can't even win favour with her yourself.

I should be going.

Do you think you can beat me?

Yes.

Because I'm putting everything on the line.

(Kim Hyang Gi's art work was sold for two million dollars...)

(at Sotheby's auction in Hong Kong.)

Hello. Mr. Park. It's me.

I'm fine.

I need to ask you something.

Do you know anything about an artist named Kim Hyang Gi?

(Sold at auction for more than its estimated price)

Well, it's just that Chairwoman Kim recently bought...

many of her pieces.

So I was just curious about this artist.

Yes. Please look into it.

Oh, someone bought her piece for two million dollars...

at Sotheby's auction. Find out who that is.

Okay. Thank you.

I think it's Kim Ho Ran.

Woo Joo will be staying at my place for the night.

So you go have some free time.

All of a sudden?

Mr. Kang. Here it is.

- Here. - Thank you.

Why would you need a projector?

I just need it to watch something.

- You do? - I'm off now.

I'm off too.

See you, guys.

- Goodbye. - Bye.

Ji Min and I are getting back together.

Do you think you can beat me?

Ji Min.

Oh, you're here.

You didn't answer your phone.

So I was going to leave.

I left the phone here because I had to leave in a hurry.

So what brings you here?

Actually, I have some free time today.

So how about watching the movie tonight?

- If you're busy, let's do it later. - No.

I'm not busy at all.

Why did you buy so many grapes?

To use them for making wine.

You said you like wine.

Wine?

That's unexpectedly reckless.

How would you even drink this much by yourself?

All right then. Let's make it together.

I'm sorry?

I mean the wine. Let's make it together.

I only saw them making wine in movies.

But this is fun.

Yes, it's more fun than I thought.

- Gosh. - My goodness. Be careful.

- Excuse me. - Don't hurt yourself.

My goodness.

- Are you okay? - I'm sorry I startled you.

It's okay.

I'm sorry.

(On a sunny day with Ji Min)

(On a sunny day with Ji Min)

Eun Su, come on out. The movie is about to start.

- What is this? - I told you.

We can still watch this even if the theatres stopped playing it.

Take a seat.

- Here. - Thank you.

Isn't it cold?

You can use this.

(Chowon Photo Studio)

- That was really great. - I agree.

Especially that song the lead role sings in the last scene.

That's a song my dad used to hum often,

so it was even more memorable.

The lead role...

sang a song?

You know...

What was that?

Were you only pretending like you didn't know?

I wanted to hear you sing.

May I ask you a question?

Sure.

Doesn't Woo Joo...

miss her mom?

No, she doesn't.

What about you?

I don't want to see her either.

Look at the time.

Get some rest. I'll get going.

I want to stay with you.

I like you.

Ji Min,

I began to have feelings for you.

I'm sorry.

I haven't overcome my wounds...

I know...

what you're afraid of.

I'm scared too.

But I want to stop hiding behind my fears.

I'm not asking you to give me an answer right now.

Until you feel ready, I will...

I'm sorry.

Ji Min...

I apologize.

I like you.

Ji Min, I began to have feelings for you.

I know...

what you're afraid of.

I'm scared too.

Does it have to be him?

I don't want your life to become more unfortunate than it is now.

That's why I'm doing this.

I want to be happy.

Do you really think he can make you happy?

No. If he could, he shouldn't have left like that.

He's a guy who ran away like a coward...

when you said you'll wait until he's ready.

What do you know about him?

A guy who hesitated once will always be hesitant.

So stop going after a guy with a wounded heart.

You should meet...

a guy who can make you entirely happy.

Please.

- Enjoy. - Thank you.

He's right.

I couldn't make anyone happy.

You're late.

I heard you left your office early.

Did you stop by somewhere else?

Leave.

Were you with that woman?

Did you two have a drink?

Are you actually planning on going steady with her?

Se Mi.

Yes.

It's all over between us.

No, it's not. I can never end things with you.

And neither can you.

That's not true.

Then why did you not tell your family...

that I had an affair with someone else?

Isn't it that you wanted to leave room...

for us to get back together when I'm back?

No.

You're wrong.

It was because of Woo Joo.

I wanted her...

to remember you as a loving mother.

Do you really have to get Woo Joo a stepmother...

when you care about her so much?

She'd say anything to win your heart for now.

She's already acting like she's Woo Joo's mom.

Did you meet her?

What did you tell her?

What did you say to her?

I asked her to stay out of this.

I said she couldn't dare to dream about being with you.

Why? Am I not supposed to say that?

You have no right to see her.

Because I love you.

Love?

Because of you,

I've lived with a huge void in my heart.

Even when I wanted to make it warm, it was just frigid.

Now I thought I started to make it warm again.

You just stopped it from happening. And you call it love?

Let's stop jabbering about love...

and live with a cold heart as we always have.

Did you get home safely?

I can't believe you guys.

You're meant to succeed.

I just got here.

I will have a good time with Woo Joo.

(My Dear Woo Joo)

Hello, Woo Joo.

Teacher.

Woo Joo.

- Hurry. - What?

Just hurry.

- Come on in. - Okay.

- Why? Is anything wrong? - Hurry.

Ta-Da.

What is this?

Teacher, I won first place.

- Really? - Yes.

I'm telling you about this right after Dad.

Will you come with me to the award ceremony?

Sure.

(Congratulations, Kang Woo Joo!)

You're buying a cake. I guess you have something to celebrate.

Woo Joo won first place in the art contest.

Gosh, I'm so proud of her.

Oh dear.

This is my gift for Woo Joo.

That's sweet. Thank you.

- Please give this to her. - Okay.

Excuse me. Are you Woo Joo's dad?

I'm Hye Yeong's mom. She's Woo Joo's classmate.

Hello.

This is on me.

Gosh, no. It's okay.

I'm doing this because I feel sorry for Woo Joo.

I thought Woo Joo made fun of Hye Yeong saying she had no friends.

But Jin Gook's mom told me...

that Hye Yeong pointed out that Woo Joo had no mom first.

I guess that's just what kids do.

Anyway, I'm sorry that I scolded Woo Joo.

Did you scold her?

A little.

But the art teacher or something...

humiliated me that day.

She called me an immature person...

and told me to go learn my lesson.

I couldn't sleep a wink that night.

By the way, what's going on...

between you and the art teacher?

- Hey. - What?

Hye Yeong sincerely apologized to Woo Joo.

I see.

Please tell your kid not to do that again.

Bye.

Actually, she seems to be good at seducing men.

I'm serious.

Think about it.

What did you just say?

No, I didn't mean it like that. I'm saying...

Now I get it.

I was wondering why the nicest woman in the world...

said such a mean thing to you.

I can tell she is a good judge of character.

I see.

Bye.

My gosh. What did you just say?

Are you saying I should be disciplined or something?

Gosh, is that what he's saying?

(Block 2)

You're here.

Hi.

Woo Joo just fell asleep.

She called me suddenly.

She wants me to come and see her being awarded.

Goodbye.

Thank you.

Thank you for defending her when I couldn't.

Goodbye.

Am I...

misunderstanding you?

I thought...

you were having the same feelings about me.

You're not misunderstanding me.

I am feeling the same way.

Woo Joo once told me...

that somehow you make her laugh.

And that's how I felt too.

When I'm with you,

somehow I end up laughing.

But I'm not sure if I can make someone happy.

I don't know what I'm doing with you.

There's something you should know.

Since we met, I felt warm in my heart thanks to you.

I've never met someone like you.

Someone with a warm heart like you.

I know I don't deserve to have you in my life.

But I wanted to be greedy just this once.

I've had a pathetic life.

But I thought my life could be brighter with you in it.

Just this once.

I wanted to be lucky enough to have someone like you.

Excuse me.

Now I'll announce the Grand Award winner.

The Grand Award goes to...

Congratulations.

Kang Woo Joo from Sewoon Elementary School.

Put your hands together for her.

In her painting, Ms. Kang Woo Joo delivered a message...

of the importance of protecting the environment...

which she interpreted through her innocent eyes.

Now the award will be presented.

This award is presented to Kang Woo Joo for winning...

the Grand Prize in D.O Cosmetics' first Environment Care Children...

Art Contest with her astonishing and brilliant art work.

June 13, 2020.

Chairwoman of D.O Cosmetics, Kim Ho Ran.

Congratulations.

Congratulations.

D.O Cosmetics will promise you to enhance local cultures...

and improve the environment.

We promise to help the community...

That's where you're supposed to be, Se Mi.

Don't you think so?

Do you think it's possible for me to get back to where I was?

It won't be easy.

Unless you're as desperate as she is.

What do you mean, desperate?

What do you think of those two?

Don't they look alike?

This is why they say, "Apple doesn't fall far from the tree."

What are you talking about?

(Paternity DNA Test Results, EO Genetic Laboratory)

(Probability of Paternity: 99.8 percent)

What is this?

I know how scared you must be.

You wanted to get back with him so bad.

But now you have to compete with her biological mother.

No way.

Your parents must be excited about Woo Joo's award.

Of course they are.

Especially her aunt is the most excited.

If you had seen her getting all excited,

you would've given second thoughts about us.

What?

Sometimes, she looks like she's out of her mind.

You know what?

When I look at you,

I wonder what your family members are like.

I'll introduce them to you.

If you're uncomfortable with it, I won't.

No. I'm fine.

Introduce them to me.

All right.

Next year,

let's go to the Cherry Blossom Festival again.

And let's go to the beach to listen to the sound of the waves.

I promise you.

Even though it may take some time,

I will open up to you with my sincere heart.

Without lies.

With all I am.

Even though it may take some time,

I will open up to you with my sincere heart.

With all I am.

I've never met someone like you.

Someone with a warm heart like you.

I wanted to be lucky enough to have someone like you.

Mr. Yoon.

I think I'll be able to live with Woo Joo soon.

You'll finally get what you wished for.

Yes.

But it doesn't seem like...

you're as happy as I thought you'd be.

I don't know.

Sometimes, I feel like I could scream out of happiness.

It's because of that man, isn't it?

I guess so.

He's a good man.

It doesn't feel right to do this to a good man...

like him.

Excuse me.

Hello?

Yes.

(Research Institute of Gene)

You're here.

Why are you empty-handed?

(EO Genetic Laboratory)

This is...

You would know whose genes they are if you've seen it.

Mr. Yoon.

Why do you think I asked you to watch Eun Su?

It's because I thought...

maybe you could find the missing puzzle that I don't know about.

But it turned out...

the missing puzzle was you.

Eun Su's daughter.

She's alive.

Chairwoman Kim.

You should put all the blame on me.

Please don't touch those two.

Finally,

you're showing your true colours.

But sadly,

it's too late.

I couldn't sleep.

So I'm out walking around the park. Goodnight.

(10 years ago, On the day of the incident)

Why?

Are you going to stab me with it?

Go ahead.

- I'll kill you. - What are you waiting for?

Aren't you going to stab me? Go on. Stab me.

Stab me! Go ahead and stab me!

(Lie After Lie)

Actually, Woo Joo was adopted.

He would've found out the truth by now.

He would know why Ji Eun Su approached him.

I never thought you'd be Woo Joo's biological mother.

Stop harassing her.

She used you.

She doesn't love you, and she's lying to you!

Is she really your daughter?

This child is Woo Joo.

You didn't know, did you?

If you say you didn't know, I will believe you.

What are you going to do now?

The whole world knows your plan.

Why are you being so mean?

She was actually a saviour to you.

Why did you recommend me?

I was appointed as a special correspondent 10 years ago.

And I found out that you were the one who appointed me.

This is getting interesting.

So that reporter adopted Eun Su's daughter?

I need to report something about Chairwoman Kim Ho Ran.

I believe you can help Ji Eun Su.

How is Eun Su involved with her?

You watch me. You stole my right to be her mother.

But I'm going to get it back.
