It's representative of its brand, and the audience is growing.

I think it's suitable.

I agree. It's considered a blue chip in the performance industry.

- I agree too. - Me too.

Bro.

Bro?

Huh?

Yeah. I think...

Hello.

Why did you come?

Because you wouldn't pick up. It's not that I wanted to.

I apologize for the last time. My mistake.

I wanted to stop you but you wouldn't listen. I thought it was the only way.

I'm sorry. I apologize.

Come back home.

As I thought.

You still don't know what you did to me.

You attempted suicide twice when I was 9.

You held me hostage and gambled to bring father back!

If I'd found you later, or woken up a little later, I'd have lived with tremendous guilt.

Or I might have gone mad.

If you had thought about it, how could you have done it?

How could a mother do that twice with a 9 year old son?

And you did it again.

Do you think I'm still a 9 year-old boy you can manipulate?

Do you not really know what a serious abuse it is to me?

Do you at least love me?

I just wanted to stop...

I'm sorry. I was too rash. My mistake.

No. You don't think that.

If I had relented, you'd be happy that it worked.

You're like that. Too self-centered and stubborn. You only love yourself.

Do you know how scary and ugly that makes you?

Father was wise. He knew he had to get away from you early on and he did!

I know you're angry, but you should watch what you say.

I won't meet you anymore.

What?

I won't. I did what I could!

I did more than enough to make you proud.

I was loyal as a son.

- Kyung-Woo. - No more.

You died with the rat poison.

Kyung-Woo.

I'm ashamed that you're my mother.

Do you know how scary and ugly that makes you?

Do you at least love me?

I'm ashamed you're my mother.

Bastard.

I did everything for him. It was all for him...

I can't believe she took her side.

Come on. Geum didn't mean anything. She looked taken aback by your reaction.

Imagine how troubled she must be.

A stranger claimed to be her uncle and tried to scam us.

Do you really think she took her side because she's her birth mother?

Yeah, I know. How much she must've missed her.

She must've wanted to know who she is and why she abandoned her.

Still, I feel so empty. As if I was betrayed.

I'm sad she still misses her birth mother even at her age.

Hello?

Geum?

It's me. Do you know who I am?

Yes.

What's the matter?

I'm sorry about your uncle.

But don't worry. He's always been a trouble maker.

It's ok. I already forgot.

Right. It's not worth your time.

I'm relieved. I worried it might upset you.

I can't stay long. If...

My mother.

My mother told me you died at birth. That you were stillborn.

I believed you were dead for 3 years.

I found out later and went to see you.

But your uncle told me your father remarried...

...and that his new wife was raising you.

I was 23, and had nothing. I couldn't do anything for you.

I gave up on you thinking you had a good family.

It was a few years later that I found you were adopted at an orphanage.

I was married, and had my own family then.

I'm really sorry.

I know how shameless it is, but I'm really sorry.

I don't know how I can make it up.

How can I...

'Son'

I'm sorry.

For what?

Will you let me be your mom?

I don't want much.

Just meeting occasionally and if you marry...

Like this? Hiding me from your family?

You can't even take their calls.

No, thank you. I don't wanna be a hidden daughter.

You deceived me. Don't deceive your family.

I told my husband.

I didn't want to hide you. I didn't want to hurt you any more.

Can you meet me again?

Where did you go? Did you meet Kyung-Woo?

Yeah.

Don't worry about that scum. We'll forget about it, too.

Don't worry.

Ok.

And... if you wanna meet your birth mother, go ahead.

Go ahead. I don't mind.

Take a rest.

I won't meet her. I won't.

I won't any more.

Yeah? Suit yourself. Um... um...

I need to change the sheets.

You came early.

What's the matter? Why meet outside?

Have a drink first.

Well, father...

Help me. Please consent.

I still love her.

It's not just because of the baby.

If you do, I'll be a good son.

Take the baby after she gives birth. I can't let her in.

Father. Raise him without his mother? Please persuade mom.

How dare you ask me that? How much do I have to yield?

It hasn't been that long. But for 7 years you lied to us!

You already want us to forgive because you have a baby?

Are we supposed to do as we are told?

Your mother opposes that strongly. You should've looked for other ways!

Is that how you think of your mother?

I agonized a lot because of mom.

And is this what you came up with?

But I can't raise a baby motherless.

You still...

Ki.

Jeez... still asleep. Wake up.

Hey. Wake up. You're late.

- Alright. - Ok.

I heard you're a doctor. We want someone who can fully commit himself.

If you wanna join us, you should quit your job.

I can't believe it. Now that I made up my mind...

- Let's eat. - Thank you for the meal.

How is it going with your mother in-law?

- I heard she came here. - She did?

Of course. And to Hyo-Eun...

What? Hyo-Eun what?

Nothing.

She's still upset.

Of course. You did terribly wrong.

You gotta keep begging for forgiveness.

Yeah. I didn't expect her to forgive so easily. Don't be disappointed.

I'm fine, father.

- Geum, it's yours. - Oh.

Hello, director.

Hi, it's been a while. How are you feeling?

Good. Can I see you this afternoon?

Who is it?

It's me, Tae-Young. Can you open the door?

Thank you. I came for the memorial service.

Who is it?

Hi, mother. I came to help you with the service.

Get out.

I'll go after cooking. It'll be hard for you...

It's none of your business. You're not my daughter in-law. Leave.

I don't wanna cause a fuss today. Get out.

Mother.

Didn't you hear me? Do I have to yell? Get out!

Just take the groceries then.

Get out. I don't need them!

Mother.

Out! Don't ever come back.

- Mother. - Get out!

Goodness.

Won't you listen to me?

I'm torn, too. I don't want them back together, but...

Shut up! Just follow me.

I'm sorry.

What are you doing? Do you want me to drag you out?

I bought nuts. And some brisket, too. Did you make soup already?

Do you really wanna start something?

It's burning.

Cut the peppers. I'll make some chili paste.

You're totally insane. Insane.

Get out!

Mother. I'm sorry. I'll leave after I do this.

What?

Take some rest.

What are you doing? Mom's really mad.

I'll cook and leave. I don't want to bother her either.

- Hi, mom. - Where are you?

Come home right now. Just come.

See who's here!

See for yourself! Right now, you idiot!

Mom. Father's here.

Hi, father.

What are you doing here?

I'm sorry. I came to help mom with the service.

You shouldn't barge in like this. Take the apron off.

I'll just finish this.

You're unbelievable. You're ignoring your father in-law?

I have no choice.

I know it's rude, but I don't know how to get your forgiveness.

Father, mother. I know what I did to you.

I can never undo what I did, but...

I'm sorry. I really am.

Then you shouldn't do this!

How many times do we have to tell you?

Father. I know how much you hate me.

But if I don't do anything, I'll always be a sinner to you.

And an irresponsible mother to my baby.

I'll do whatever it takes. Give me one more chance.

However long it takes, I want your forgiveness.

Yes.

Hi. Have a seat.

Do you know Kyung-Woo left home?

No. I didn't.

He did and he even said he wouldn't meet me. Do you know why?

I'm sorry.

Good you know. Please part with him.

I apologize sincerely. For everything I did. Humiliating and slapping you.

You can do to me whatever I did to you if you want to.

Please break up with him.

It's not that I hate you. I know you're a nice girl.

Good natured and positive for an adopted girl.

Director.

But you can't have kids. It's a miracle if you do, right?

I can give up on everything but that.

He was lonely all his life.

Do you really want him to be lonely for the rest of his life?

I'll beg you. Just break up with him.

What are you doing?

He's all I have.

I lived for him and...

...the only dream I have is to live happily with him and my grandchildren.

Is it too much to ask?

No. You're right. It's not too much.

Then...

Director. But I love him too much. Really. I can die for him.

I'll beg. Don't tell me to break up. I'll do anything else. Let me stay by his side.

I know I'm being shameless, but please give us consent.

Warm coffee.

What are you looking at? Am I that good looking?

Why didn't you tell me that you left home?

How did you know?

Did you meet mom?

I told you not to.

What did she say? Was she harsh again?

No.

Really.

She apologized for what she did.

She did?

She must be really desperate.

Go home.

Did she tell you to persuade me?

Fool.

Then you should've asked for her consent in return for sending me home.

She pleaded in tears.

She's a good actress. Don't buy it.

Kyung-Woo. What's wrong with you? Go home.

I won't. Ok?

Don't bring it up.

It's not that she's totally unreasonable. Go home. Go home and...

I said I won't!

Whose side are you on? Don't you think I might have a good reason?

Can't you just take my side?

Did something happen?

No.

Don't bring it up again.

Go. I have work.

What are you doing here?

Can I come in? I have something to tell you.

Come in.

I threw away all my pride and came to beg you. There's nothing to hide now.

You're right. I met him knowing he was dating you. I liked him that much.

But I swear I didn't know about your pregnancy.

I thought you two didn't have any chance and he'd break up with you soon.

But I never imagined you were pregnant.

Why bring it up now? I want to forget.

And... I paid enough for betraying my best friend.

Kyung-Woo's father cheated on me with a nurse when he was 9.

He said he never loved me and it was suffocating.

He hated me so much that even my eating disgusted him.

But I wanted to cling to him.

I didn't want Kyung-Woo to grow up fatherless.

I begged, pleaded, and even tried to kill myself. But he still wouldn't come.

Even when his little son called in desperation while I was dying.

That day my life ended as a woman. I only lived since then as a mother.

I wanted to die. I really did, but I couldn't leave him alone.

I lived the past 25 years hoping some day he'd understand me.

Is it too much to ask that I want him to have a good match?

Mi-Ja. Please save me. Tell your daughter.

I can't live without him. You'd understand.

He's all I have. How can I live without him?

Is my sin that terrible?

I lived miserably for 25 years. Do I deserve to lose my son?

Kyung-Ja.

I can't live like this. I try to accept it, but I can't.

I wouldn't do this if your daughter could have kids.

Please help me. Please.

Just promise this. If he asks for your consent, tell him to get mine first.

Promise me. Please.

Don't worry. Marriage between in-laws is not illegal.

You thought about that, too?

I think we're meant to be. We always think the same.

But have you seen in-laws marrying?

No. You?

No.

But it's perfectly legal. No worries, right?

I'm really going mad. I passed the audition.

- Really? - Yeah.

I shouldn't have taken it. I made up my mind and tried to focus.

But I was going mad after I heard that news.

You want to do it?

Yeah. The moment I heard, my heart started pumping again.

What can you do? You shouldn't have taken the audition.

I know. So frustrating.

Father.

- Father. - Hi.

- What brings you here? - I just dropped by.

Share it with your colleagues. I bought plenty for everyone.

This is a lot. It's over 10 servings.

You like dumplings. Cheer yourself up with it. Keep it up.

Is that why you came?

I have no complaints these days.

Hwang is doing better, and Geum is recovering well.

You even changed your mind.

It will be hard to keep up now, but you'll be fine. Don't feel rushed.

Get back to work. Bye.

Father.

Thank you for the dumplings.

Grandma!

Grandma!

Hyo-Eun.

Grandma.

How did you come? Alone?

Yes. I go to elementary school now. I can come alone.

Still, how?

I wanted to give you something.

I wrote a card at school. I missed you, so I wrote for you.

Grandma.

For me?

Why? You have a mother and other grandparents.

I had to write to someone I missed.

I see everyone else every day, but I can't see you.

Grandma. Don't be angry.

I'm not angry at you.

You pushed me away because you were angry, right?

Because I didn't come to see you.

It's not that.

Grandma. I didn't forget you. You told me not to, so I didn't.

And I go to school now. I wanted to show you.

Yeah. You grew up so much.

But don't come alone again. You shouldn't travel alone.

Ok.

Good. Let's go home.

Hyo-Eun. Go by yourself from here. Can you?

Yes.

Ok. Go then.

Go.

I have to go. Hurry.

'Dear grandma.'

'You make the best pizza in the world. I didn't forget you. I love you. Hyo-Eun.'

Father's here.

I didn't hear the ring.

Don't mind her. Don't even get upset.

How did you cope at my age?

It's different now. There are so many childless couples.

Kids are only trouble. No kid, no trouble, you know?

And he doesn't mind so no worries.

You think so? Aren't I too selfish? That's what I'm afraid of.

You're insulting his love. Don't you trust him?

You know how much he loves you.

I'm sorry I was mad.

No, I'm sorry. I didn't know.

Is your father in?

Yes. Come on in.

Drink some. Have dinner, too.

Thank you, mother.

I have something to tell you.

Go ahead.

I want to marry soon. The second Sunday of next month.

That's exactly a month later.

Yes. That's far enough, and I could find a place, too.

Ok. I think we can manage.

Did you get your mother's consent?

No.

But I told her I'd marry. She's impossible to persuade.

You know how she is.

She'll never give in. I'll just go ahead.

Take it. Go ahead.

Take it.

Hello?

It's me. I'm in such pain.

I'm having stomach cramps again. Please come.

I can't. Bye.

Kyung-Woo. I'm not lying. It really hurts.

Call Dr. Han.

Kyung-Woo, please. Kyung-Woo...

Stop it. I won't buy your lies any more.

I'm sorry.

No. Who is that?

Don't mind it.

Please allow us.

My mother is impossible to persuade. I gave up on her. Please.

I want to marry soon.

I know what you mean.

Mother.

I'm sorry, but let us talk for a while.

Let's talk outside.

What?

It was your mother, wasn't it?

Is she sick? Then go.

Don't mind it.

I'll go with you.

I said no! Why do you keep butting in?

I told you not to interfere.

How can I not when you act this strange?

You know that, right?

What happened? Tell me.

You really wanna know?

She threatened me with rat poison to stop the wedding.

I'm leaving.

What? She threatened with rat poison?

Goodness. That's why he hurried. And why Kyung-Ja came to beg.

Dr. Han, this is Kyung-Woo.

Yeah, I'm at your home.

Is she serious?

Another stomach cramp. She was crawling on the floor.

How is she?

She got shots and is sleeping now. Wanna talk to her?

No. Thank you.
