It can't be.

Hwang Bomi is my daughter?

No, it's not true.

How... how can a woman like that be my daughter?

No, this is worse than a curse.

This can't be.

Excuse me.

How did I end up here?

You came in an ambulance.

You came in with a middle-aged lady.

Where is she?

She was just here.

Where did she go?

Give it to me!

The contract!

Did you see a piece of paper with my belongings?

It said "Contract" on top.

I didn't.

Why did it have to be Hwang Bomi?

I looked for her my whole life.

How can she be the child I've been looking for?

There you are.

I'm the EMT who brought you in.

I found this too.

She's still pretty weak.

We need to run more tests.

She looks weak, but she's strong.

I'm more worried about you.

You hurt your back and wrist when you broke my fall.

I just twisted my wrist.

I'm getting physical therapy.

Why don't you both take this chance to get a physical?

You hurt your muscles and ligaments.

It's a good idea to have them checked.

Is that dirty laundry?

Give them to me.

I want to hand-wash them.

You seem to be in a good mood today.

Thanks, Mom.

I'll go clean up my room.

Neurosurgery...

Why does she have this business card?

What kind of medicine is this?

I thought they were vitamins.

These are medicine for Alzheimer's.

Alzheimer's?

It can't be.

Hello?

Is this Daehan Hospital?

I have a question.

I don't believe it.

I have Alzheimer's?

I'm still young.

It can't be.

What did I do to deserve this?

I'm finally getting back on track with my kids.

Why?

How did you get hurt?

There's nothing to worry about.

I missed a step and fell on some stairs.

Did Mo-roo do this to you?

Maybe they put something on the stairs and made you fall.

That's right.

Shin Mo-roo and Hwang Bomi are totally capable of that.

That's not it.

I just fell.

As long as I have this contract,

Shin-yong will win the election.

Hwang Bomi?

She means nothing to me.

I never even breastfed her.

We parted ways 30 years ago.

That's it.

I have to take care of Shin-yong first.

No... no.

I can't do that.

She's my child.

I left her.

How can I stab her in the back?

What happened to your face?

I got into a small fender-bender.

Why do you keep getting into trouble?

How will you campaign looking like that?

People will think I beat you.

You're just too much.

You should be asking me how hurt I am.

All you're worried about is the election?

Why do you think I got hurt?

I was working on your campaign...

What do you want from me?

I know all about that Kim Tae-seob.

Don't you think I'm doing enough by letting that slide?

I'm suspicious about quite a few things.

I'm letting it go only because we go way back.

That's enough.

I don't want to argue anymore.

Hello?

What?

Oh Hae-jin?

That's right.

I remember Happy Orphanage.

My mom's looking for me?

Where's my mom?

So did you tell her my name and phone number?

No, she wanted to meet you.

So I set it up.

You're meeting her at 8 at the coffee shop in front of Ah-hyun Market.

Her name's Hwang Bomi now.

Here's her picture.

I know it's hard to believe.

Congratulations.

I hope you make up for the lost 30 years.

Goodbye.

What should I do?

If I'd known it was you, I wouldn't have wanted to find you.

It would've been better to spend our lives longing for each other.

Why isn't she coming?

She's already an hour late.

I'm sorry. It's closing time.

What?

Okay.

So this is the way it was.

Wasn't it enough that she left me once?

She left me twice.

Hwang Bomi, come to your senses.

What did you expect?

The only family you have is Shin Mo-roo.

I'll never look for her again.

I never had a mother at all.

Why can't you have a baby?

Why did you live your life like that?

Even without a mother, you should've led a good life.

Is someone up there?

Why are you doing this to me?

I'm not the one who deserves to be punished.

You got the wrong person!

You can't do this to me.

I've never been a good mother to Yeon-suh and Yeon-woo.

How can I be a burden to them now?

This is too much!

Please!

Just three years.

No, let me be sound of mind for just one year.

I won't ask for more.

Let me just make a warm breakfast for my kids every day.

What are you doing?

I'm putting Yoo-ra to sleep.

You must be tired.

You'll start campaigning tomorrow.

Are you ready?

So many people are working hard for me.

I'm ready.

I have faith in you.

You know I'm your number one fan, don't you?

Your boyfriend's right here.

So don't let anyone bring you down.

I don't know if I should be this happy when I think of Dallae.

She's having a hard time right now.

I feel bad for Dallae too.

But you shouldn't feel guilty.

You spent your life taking care of your family.

You can be a little selfish now.

Mom, I'm not sleepy.

Yoo-ra, you're still awake?

I'm sorry.

I'll put you to sleep in a second.

Wait, let me talk to Yoo-ra.

I have something to say to her.

Yoo-ra, it's Yeon-woo. He wants to talk to you.

Yeon-woo, why haven't you visited us lately?

I miss you too.

I'll come see you soon.

It's bedtime.

Do you want me to sing you a lullaby?

Close your eyes.

I'm so excited.

My eyes are closed.

Yoo-ra, I need to get your permission.

Can I be friends with your mom?

I want to be with you and your mom.

Will you help me?

I had Dallae discharged from the hospital.

I got her to the car unnoticed.

Thank you.

We'll announce Dallae's retirement from acting tomorrow.

We'll give a press release.

She can't retire.

The only thing Dallae has left is acting.

You have no right to decide that.

I'd rather die than to let her quit in shame.

If you insist, we'll have to reconsider this marriage.

Unfortunately, Dallae isn't an in-demand actress.

She wouldn't have gotten any roles except in my dramas and movies.

That's why I'm asking you.

Please give Dallae a chance.

If you take acting away from her,

she'll wilt like a flower.

You don't want her to be unhappy, do you?

Will you help me convince her to marry me

if I help you get her career back?

Can you convince her?

I can.

I promise.

Good, then I'll look into a movie for her.

And I'll do my best to help your son get his gold badge.

Really?

Thank you.

Thank you so much.

They're from Mr. Koo.

He sent you flowers every day while you were at the hospital.

Get rid of these flowers right now!

Dallae just came back from the dead.

Did you forget why she was so unhappy?

Don't ever bring up Mr. Koo again.

Why do you think Mo-roo's doing well with the election?

Our family can't even help him with his campaign.

Mr. Koo's the only one helping him right now.

Tell him to give it up if he needs to sell out his sister

to become an assemblyman.

We need him for Mo-roo.

But Dallae needs him too.

I'm going to get her in a movie and in a soap opera no matter what.

That's enough.

I'm not marrying him.

Even if he holds our lives in his hands, I won't do it.

Just leave me alone!

Did you really have to do that?

She just left the hospital.

Why are you talking about soap operas right now?

I'll go on a talk show and explain Dallae's suicide attempt.

Talk show?

People will sympathize if I tell them that the pressure

of being a star was too much for her.

If she makes one hit movie, everyone will forget what happened.

I'll do anything to get her career back.

Why are you so tough?

Didn't you just want her to live when she was in critical condition?

What more do you want now?

Did you just hit me?

What right do you have to hit me?

I guess you want to be the good dad by being a coward.

But I'll make sure my kids are successful and proudly go to hell.

All successful kids have a tough mother behind them.

How can you be a parent if you're afraid of going to hell

by making your child successful?

Shin Mo-roo, a righteous father.

The most sincere person.

I love the poster.

And Yoo-ra looks great.

Don't you think so?

How can Shin-yong be so shameless?

What right does she have to use the word "mother" in her campaign?

We should start by exposing her affair with Choi Jung-woon.

An election isn't a fight between families.

We should try to reach the voters first.

The aids' wives saw her carrying around his photos.

I guess so.

Your mother hasn't contacted you?

She hasn't.

I won't meet her even if she wants to now.

I'm never going to meet her.

You made the right decision.

What if she's a weird person?

It won't help my election.

It's election time, so be careful.

Don't do anything our competition can use against us.

I'm going to do my rounds at Boram Market.

Okay.

Right, the contract.

What if Kang Shin-yong reveals the contract?

This is Hwang Bomi.

Find a woman named Kang Seo-poong.

Do whatever it takes to get that contract from her.

It's urgent.

You want this to be my campaign office?

That's right.

We can feed everyone, and you don't have to rent another space.

It's great.

You'll kill two birds with one stone.

It might hurt our business.

But it's only 15 days.

But Do-yong has to be your campaign manager.

I'd like that.

Mee-so, you took a load off my back.

Shin-yong!

What are we going to do?

Something really bad happened.

That jerk Shin Mo-roo's been spreading rumors that

you left your child alone to be with another man.

So that jerk's using dirty tactics?

Then we have to give him a taste of his own medicine.

Start telling people that Shin Mo-roo and Hwang Bomi

used to live together in high school.

No, I'm not running a negative campaign.

I'm going to fight him fair and square for Yoo-ra's sake.

We can't waste any more time.

They already started campaigning.

We don't even have a sign up.

Let's start by finding some volunteers.

I'll get some people I used to go clubbing with.

They're the best at running around.

I'll get some neighborhood ladies.

I have some pull at the dry cleaners.

I'll call all my unemployed friends.

Let's all work hard!

Let's do it!

A happy mother makes a happy world.

Number 15!

Kang Shin-yong!

Let's do it again!

Come on!

Number 11, Shin Mo-roo!

Shin Mo-roo!

Shin Mo-roo for the Namsan region!

Shin Mo-roo!

Hello!

My name's Kang Shin-yong!

I'm candidate number 15!

Hello!

My name's Kang Shin-yong!

I'll try to make our world a happier one.

Thank you!

I'll always strive to give you hope and strength!

I'm number 15, Kang Shin-yong!

Please vote for number 15!

Kang Shin-yong.

She's my daughter.

Please vote for her.

How could she leave her child to be with another man?

Didn't her child get hurt because of her?

How dare she show her face here?

Being divorced is nothing to brag about.

Live your life right!

You should've taken better care of your husband.

What kind of politician will you be after having broken up

your own family?

Did you see her cheat?

Isn't it enough that she was unjustly blamed for it?

How dare you hurt my daughter?

How can you defend your cheating daughter?

Rotten people.

What?

Rotten?

You're calling my daughter rotten?

I'm sorry, let me apologize for my mother!

Please forgive her.

Forgive what?

You didn't do anything wrong!

Mom!

That's enough!

What a sight.

Why's she putting herself through hell?

Stop!

Isn't that Bae Yeon-woo?

Can a reporter get involved like that?

What's going on?

Is she really the woman who ruined her husband?

I can see that she'd swallow a man whole.

As a woman, it makes me sad.

She must think so little of the voters to run after

having done something like that.

Goodness.

Tell us more.

Look here.

Why are you accusing my sister without any proof?

Do you want to go to prison for defamation?

You're the one who broke up her family.

Everyone knows that you're a home wrecker.

I heard that Kang Shin-yong's brother was a hoodlum.

I see that the rumors were true.

I guess lowlife blood runs in the family.

What?

Hoodlum?

How dare you?

You're dead.

They're really hoodlums.

That's enough.

Who are you to meddle?

You worms.

You'll really get it today!

You pushed me when I wasn't ready.

You!

My stomach!

Are you okay?

Let's go.

Stop right there!

My wife's pregnant!

Are you okay?

Mee-so!

Mee-so!

An empty house.

A lost love.

Nights that were too short.

Winter fogs outside the window...

Remember it.

You have to remember.

My mom's name is Nam Ah-jin.

My son's name is Bae Yeon-woo.

My daughter's name is... Bae Yeon-suh.

I'm so scared.

Do you think Yoo-ra wants to live with her dad or mom?

Whoever she picks, she'll be an assemblyperson's daughter.

Whom do you want to win?

Honestly, I hope Shin-yong wins.

For some reason, I don't trust Mo-roo.

What are you talking about?

Are you saying you want your brother to lose?

I already feel bad that we can't help him because of

what happened to Dallae.

How can you say something like that?

Mom, I was wrong.

No matter what, he's my brother.

I shouldn't have said that.

As punishment to myself, I'm going to study.

Oh, Dad, I keep seeing the crypt you took me to in my dreams.

Like you said, that lady must've really doted on me.

Yes...

Crypt?

What are you talking about?

Dad took me to a crypt while you were in Cannes.

I didn't think much of it then.

But I can't get it out of my head.

I'm going upstairs.

Let's talk.

Tell me.

Where did you take Sorah?

Did you take Sorah to her mother?

I did.

I felt bad that she never met her daughter.

You felt bad?

I raised a child you had with another woman.

But you feel bad for a woman who was irresponsible enough

to have a child and leave her?

What am I?

A nanny?

A mom?

Lower your voice. Sorah will hear you.

You didn't mean it when you asked me to raise Sorah like my own?

Why don't you just tell Sorah that she has two mothers?

Tell her that the ashes in the crypt are her real mother's!

Real mother?

I won't ever go back there.

I told you that in exchange for raising Sorah,

you could never bring that woman into our house.

Never to make me feel like we were both in this house.

Why did you break that promise?

You took Sorah to her mother while I was gone?

How many times are you going to kill me?

Just take Sorah and leave!

Calm down.

What if she comes in?

Did you miss that woman that much?

So you felt bad for Sorah every time you looked at her?

It was just as hard for me!

I tried to make it up to you my whole life.

It's time you forgive me.

I hated being poor.

So I married a rich old man, but you went bankrupt a month later.

All I had left were my kids.

You cheated on me and had a baby with her while I ran

around trying to help them be successful.

And you want me to forgive you?

I was lonely then.

You were never home!

I was doing it for the kids!

Who cares if you were lonely?

Was your being lonely more important than the kids?

I regret it so much right now.

But don't hate Sorah.

You know how much she loves you!

I don't care anymore.

I wasted 20 years.

Sorah has her own mother.

But I thought I could be her mother if I tried hard enough.

I'm only going to care about my kids now.

You take care of Sorah!

Mom isn't my birth mother?

She's not my real mom?

How can that be?

How can my mom not be my mom?

Then who have I lived with for the last 20 years?

So she always hated me?

Hello, I'm number 15, Kang Shin-yong!

Hello, I'm number 15, Kang Shin-yong!

A happy mother makes a happy child!

Hello, I'm number 15, Kang Shin-yong!

I'll give you courage and hope!

I'll give our children new hope!

Shin Mo-roo!

Number 11, Shin Mo-roo!

A righteous father!

Shin Mo-roo!

Number 11, Shin Mo-roo!

A righteous father!

Shin Mo-roo!

Number 11, Shin Mo-roo!

A righteous father!

Shin Mo-roo!

A happy mother makes a happy world?

Does going around cheating make a mother happy?

Then is a righteous father someone who gets remarried without

considering his child's feelings?

You're a shameless divorcee.

Do you think this is a joke?

It isn't.

That's why I'll prove my innocence.

I'll sue for custody if I have to.

Sue for custody?

Yoo-ra hasn't started school yet.

She's at the level of a 5-year-old.

She's afraid of people.

All of that is your fault. I can't let her live with you.

I'll raise her, even if I have to sue you for custody.

What proof do you have that it's my fault?

You can't turn a lie into the truth.

The law will decide what the truth is.

Let the courts decide what you did to Yoo-ra.

Fine, do whatever you want!

Go get Yoo-ra in Donam-dong.

I won't leave Yoo-ra with that woman another day.

Donam-dong?

Can't you go?

I got into it with her family a little while ago.

I don't have time to go.

Fight with them if they don't let you take her.

What if I see Shin-yong's aunt there?

She'll try to kill me.

What happened?

What happened to you, Mee-so?

Who pushed my daughter-in-law?

Hwang Bomi's election volunteers.

Mee-so could've really gotten hurt.

Goodness.

What did the doctor say?

Is the baby okay?

She needs to rest.

Our baby will be okay, right?

Of course he is!

A Kang wouldn't lose to people like that!

Mee-so, I'm sorry.

You should be relaxing right now.

But we're making you work.

We're horrible people.

Don't say that.

I'm part of the family too.

But when my stomach hurt, I thought of you, Father.

You bought my baby a lot of meat so he'd grow strong.

I'll protect our baby no matter what.

Otherwise Father will want the money back for the meat.

That's right.

If you're worried about that, take good care of the baby.

And from now on, think of him as your slave.

I'm just so mad.

What if our precious grandchild had been hurt

because of that Hwang Bomi?

That woman's always causing trouble for our family.

I won't take it anymore.

They accused our Shin-yong of cheating,

and now they're having a beautiful affair?

I'll make sure Shin-yong wins this election and

they get a divorce!

That wench Hwang Bomi made Yoo-ra sick too!

We have to think of Mee-so.

We should stop talking about that family.

Go away!

I hate you!

I'm not going to Dad!

Yoo-ra, Dad and Grandpa are waiting for you.

Please help me.

I'll make you a lot of yummy stuff if you come home.

I can't go home without you.

You're a bad person.

You took my mom's room.

Who gave you permission to come in?

Get out right now!

I'm glad you're here, you wench!

My daughter-in-law ended up in the hospital because of you.

And people at the market threw food at Shin-yong and me!

Pack Yoo-ra's things.

I'm taking her home.

You can't take her!

I see you need to go to jail to come to your senses.

We're going to call the police.

It's your fault Yoo-ra lost her memory!

You have to pay for that.

Yoo-ra, let's go.

This isn't your home.

You have to go to your dad's house.

I bought you a bunch of dolls.

No, I don't want any dolls!

I'm not going!

You scare me!

Why are you making Yoo-ra cry?

Tell your husband to send the police and not you

if he wants Yoo-ra.

You will regret this.

It won't help your campaign to treat your competition's wife like this!

I want to talk to you.

Are you going to threaten me?

I'm not easily scared.

If you cause trouble with that contract,

I'll make it my life's mission to make Shin-yong miserable.

If you're afraid of that contract,

ask Yoo-ra and Shin-yong for forgiveness.

You have to pay for your sins.

I heard you're an orphan.

Have you ever thought of your parents who've been miserable

and wishing you to be well?

Parents?

I don't have any.

My life wouldn't have been so miserable if I had parents.

Unlike Shin-yong, I've never had a family on my side.

You don't have to live your life like this because

you don't have parents.

You have to live your life right if you want to be proud

when you meet them.

I haven't done anything wrong.

So stop wasting your time.

All I want is that contract back!

Why are you so mean?

Why did you grow up like this?

Why can't you admit what you've done wrong?

If your parents were alive,

they'd be doing exactly what I'm doing.

I gave you one last chance.

So you won't give back the contract?

Fine.

Let's do it.

Kang Shin-yong's misery will be on you.

What am I going to do?

I can't just leave her, but I can't keep her either.

What am I going to do?

What took us so long to meet?

I wanted to hold you so badly, baby.

Why did I find you only now?

What are you doing here?

I wanted to ask you something.

Is it important?

You came all the way here.

I was going to go home soon.

Dad...

Will you pay me if I clean the store?

You ran out of money?

Your mom didn't give you your allowance?

That's not it.

Mom gave me a lot of money, but I spent it already.

Mom always gives me money.

She does everything I ask.

You don't have to clean.

Come here. How much do you need?

You and Mom are my favorite people in the world.

No one's been loved as much as I have.

I'm so grateful to Mom, it makes me want to cry.

Do you love your mom that much?

That's good.

You should love her a lot.

She deserves sympathy.

Yeon-woo?

When did you get here?

I missed you so much.

Why didn't you visit me at the hospital?

Weren't you worried about me?

You must've had a nightmare.

What are you doing in my room?

Get out right now.

I have nothing to say to you.

The invitations turned out really well.

Our wedding is next Saturday.

It shouldn't be a problem, right?

What?

Listen to me.

I'm not marrying you.

I'll give back the house, the car, and the money.

Just let me go.

I don't want to go back to that horrible life.

Do you know what's really horrible?

To lose it all after you've had it all.

Aren't you afraid of that sense of loss?

Not at all.

I don't want to hear it.

Get out!

Get out right now!

It's a good thing that in spite of everything,

I still love you.

What if I'd changed my mind?

Your family would be out on the streets.

We'll pick out your wedding dress tomorrow.

I don't need a dowry.

You just need to move in.

Oh, yeah.

One more thing.

Forget all about Bae Yeon-woo when you come.

I placed a couple of bodyguards by the gate just in case.

Dallae can't go out without my permission before the wedding.

What?

She's not a prisoner.

It's just to avoid trouble.

Please understand even if it's uncomfortable.

I rushed the wedding.

I thought it might be beneficial to have it before the election.

Thank you.

Let me know if you need anything.

We're family now.

Oh, yeah, I found a good movie for Dallae.

I gave Dallae the script to take a look.

I'll see you tomorrow at the wedding shop.

I'm glad Dallae can still act,

but I don't know how to convince her.

Why doesn't Dallae want to marry him?

What man would take back a woman who tried to kill herself?

He's our family's savior.

If she doesn't marry him, she can never marry.

You think so too?

I made the right decision, right?

I'm Kang Shin-yong, number 15!

A happy mother makes a happy world.

I'll strive to give our children a new future.

Hello! I'm number...

No, thanks.

Hello...

Look behind you.

KANG SHIN-YONG...

I'M ALWAYS HERE FOR YOU!

Yeon-woo...

I know you had a hard day.

But you did well.

I'm so proud of you.

You're a great mother, and you'll be a great assemblywoman.

Do I really deserve your love?

No one else deserves it more than you.

I never thought I'd love someone this much.

I'm so happy right now.

Thanks for making me feel this way.

Aunt, is something wrong?

You can't sleep?

It might be because I had coffee late at night.

Shin-yong, are you really going to sue for custody?

Yes, it's the only way to expose Hwang Bomi.

I'm going to make her confess everything she did to me.

More than anything,

I can't forgive her for what she did to Yoo-ra.

Right, I'm sure you feel that way.

Hi.

I stopped by the flower market.

Aren't they pretty?

They're lovely.

How do you feel today?

If you're up for it, let's go for a walk.

No, I think I'm coming down with a cold.

I don't want to go out.

A cold?

You don't have a fever.

Do you want to see a doctor?

It's not that bad.

Will you buy me medicine from the pharmacy?

My throat feels itchy.

Sure.

Yeon-suh went to school today.

Will you be okay by yourself?

I'm not a child.

I'll sit here quietly. Don't worry.

I'll be right back.

Don't miss me too much.

Professor, why are you all made up today?

Do I look pretty?

You look like a 20-year-old young lady.

Go.

Bye.

Kang-so...

Even after a long time has passed,

remember me as I am today.

Pretty and well-groomed.

Professor, I'm...

No, Professor.

No!

I came alone. Dallae isn't feeling well.

I thought going out would be too much for her.

It's okay.

You have great taste.

You can pick her dress.

Have a seat.

Bring them out.

They're all so sophisticated and elegant.

I'm thinking about getting some evening gowns as well.

She'll attend many parties as a part of the Jaeil Group family.

There's nothing to worry about.

This is what's best for Dallae.

She might hate me now.

But she'll thank me later.

Hello?

Yes, this is Shin Dallae's mother.

This is Daehan Hospital.

We have the results for your physical.

We would like you to stop by today.

Today?

I heard you have the results.

We're both healthy, aren't we?

You're healthy.

But Shin Dallae has a cerebrovascular condition.

A cerebrovascular condition?

It's called a moyamoya syndrome.

The blood vessels in the brain get blocked and may cause hemorrhage.

Dallae's case is already advanced.

And we found more complications.

It's very serious.

If she starts hemorrhaging a year from now,

she might never wake up.

Actually, it could even happen tomorrow.

What did you say?

She might never wake up?

Are you saying she could die?

My Dallae?

My Dallae?

No!
