(Early winter, 1997)

(Episode 1)

No, beef seaweed soup isn't that great.

Clams go better with seaweed.

But maybe the kids won't like it.

Cake? Don't even!

If you do everything they ask,

they'll think their parents are pushovers.

Get a moon pie and stick in

candles we use for my dad's death anniversary.

It'll be a royal feast.

Tell them I'll sing "Happy Birthday."

Me?

No.

They wouldn't make me drive without any sleep.

It's not that kind of company.

I'm not a bit sleepy, and I'm not tired.

The road is deserted, with no people or cars.

It's not dangerous at all.

Yes, I'll be home soon.

Don't worry about me. Bye.

'Happy birthday to you'

'Happy birthday to you'

'Happy birthday, dear Eunbong'

'Happy birthday to you'

What the...

(6 hours ago)

'We are all, so, so, so'

'So happy'

'This is a wonderful day'

'For a lovely person like you'

'Happy birthday'

Happy birthday!

That person must be having a birthday, too.

20 million of the 7 billion people on earth

have the same birthday, so what's the big deal?

Sour grapes.

You look really jealous right now.

Whatever.

All I want for my birthday

is to get out of here, mom.

What are you saying?

One pizza here costs over $15.

We can buy a ton of pork

and have a barbecue party with that money.

Let's go, mom.

If your daughter said that,

would you say okay and go?

Just do as I say today.

- Excuse me! / - I said let's go!

Are you ready to order?

One combination pizza

and one tomato oyster sauce pasta, please.

One pizza is enough, so why order pasta?

And two lemonades with no ice, please.

Coming right up.

We have water here, so why order lemonade?

Do you even know what lemonade tastes like?

Just for today.

Just let me do this today.

I really wanted today to be special for you.

Today is just like any other day,

so why did you want to make it special?

Why do you want to waste the money

you worked so hard for?

Why is your birthday a waste?

Birthdays come every year, so what's the big deal?

Do you know how much money you're wasting?

If you say one more thing,

I'll order the most expensive thing on the menu.

Okay, fine.

Why did I even bother...

Thank you for bringing me into this world.

12 years ago today,

you did a good job, Ms. Lee Yunae.

I raised my daughter right.

This is...

Don't be too touched. It's a knockoff.

The watch might be a knockoff,

but I bought it hoping that your future

would be filled with great things.

I'm sorry.

I think the birthday party ended late.

I'll pick her up right now and bring her.

Yes. I'll see you soon.

Welcome.

Where is the birthday party?

I heard the kids were in a room.

Cheers.

Clink!

Lee Nayeon, happy 12th birthday.

Oh, the card.

- Card? / - Yes.

Ma'am.

It's this room.

Is there a back door here?

Excuse me?

Is there another exit?

What happened?

You're still here?

Didn't you just leave with your mom,

saying your tutor was waiting for you?

And what's up with those rags?

When did you get changed?

Me?

What?

Can you believe it?

How could I look just like her friend?

What's even funnier is, she thought I was that girl

and badmouthed their other friend,

saying we should give her the cold shoulder.

Where? Where did that happen?

What's wrong?

In the restroom of that pizza restaurant.

You go ahead. I have to stop by somewhere.

Where are you going?

I have to practice for choir, so I may be home late!

Where is she rushing to?

Ma'am.

You can't do this here.

I'm sorry.

You can't do this.

As I told you before,

we don't have all our customers' information.

What about a phone number to make the reservation?

Her mother came in person to make the reservation

and paid in advance.

I don't have a phone number. I'm sorry.

Then if they come back,

can you please call me?

I really have to meet them.

Who is it?

I have a letter.

Are you Ms. Lee Yunae? Here you go.

Thank you.

- Excuse me! / - Yes?

Who sent this?

I only handle the deliveries.

(Probability of Paternity = 0.0001%)

No! This can't be!

Park Yugyeong!

Oh, my!

This is a masterpiece.

The model and the dress have become one.

A perfect piece of art.

You flatter me, Mr. Lee.

Excuse me?

If you keep that up,

I might buy half the clothes in this shop.

Oh, there you go again!

I'm not the kind of man to spew empty flattery

just to sell a few more items of clothing.

I'm being sincere.

I'm jealous of how lovely

and beautiful you are.

Can I just wear this out?

Of course.

Oh, Ms. Yun?

Oh, Ms. Yun!

You were coming this weekend. Why come so soon?

Did you two make plans to meet here?

How could you two come at the same time?

As mother and daughter,

you must read each other's minds.

Mr. Lee,

you seem overly chatty today.

I talked too much, right?

I was so glad to see you both

that my heart started racing.

I'll leave you two alone to chat.

Let me bring some tea out. So glad to see you.

Is everything going well?

Should I be sorry?

You look like

you'll be upset if everything's fine with me.

I had a bad dream last night, so I asked.

If everything's fine, I'm happy.

It's so strange.

When a certain someone shows concern for me,

I get really upset.

You should visit us.

I think your father wants to see you.

I'm sure he doesn't.

He lost his head to a second wife who's my age,

so I'm sure he doesn't want to see me.

How long have you been buying clothes here?

It hasn't been long.

Ms. Jo of Sanga Group introduced me,

so I came a few times.

The clothes are comfortable and stylish.

So I became a regular.

Ms. Jo of Sanga Group?

Yun Yeongsuk, you sure climbed high.

You're the daughter of a snack cart owner,

but after hanging out with Ms. Jo of Sanga Group,

you think you're so grand.

Hello?

Hello?

What the...

It's me. Yunae.

Who?

I said pull over. Pull over!

I said I have nothing else to say!

I understand how you feel.

But if you hear me out, you'll understand.

So just calm down, and...

- Hey! / - Pull over!

What are you doing? Are you crazy?

You aren't taking me seriously!

I said pull over!

I told you that

my summer house is just ahead.

Let's talk there.

You need to listen to what I have to say.

I told you I had my reasons!

Reasons?

You mean how you used a lie to steal my man

and marry him?

But you know what?

Your lies won't work on me anymore.

I think I should go and see him right now

and return everything to its proper place.

You've gone insane.

Do you think he would return to you?

Do you really think

he chose me because of the lie I told?

You're delusional.

He's an ambitious man.

He's not a loser who would throw away everything

and go back to you!

Who knows if he's going to live being lied to,

or pull himself together and come back to me

after finding out the truth?

I'm sorry. I said I'm sorry!

I'll make it up to you.

Tell me. What do you want?

I'll give you any amount you want!

A filthy person like you

can offer nothing but filthy money?

Looking at you right now,

I think I can get my man back.

Thank you for giving me the courage.

So?

You're going to become a homewrecker?

I'm his wife, and I've been living with him

for the past 12 years!

Don't you know that digging up my past

will only make you look crass and desperate?

Yes, you might be right.

But for my daughter,

who celebrated another birthday without her dad,

this is reality.

I'm going to act like a true mother for once.

I'm going to bring my daughter's dad back

before it's too late.

What are you talking about?

A daughter?

What's that about?

It's like I said. My daughter.

The daughter of me

and your husband, I mean, Jang Gyeongwan.

You should've suspected that much.

You didn't get an abortion?

You said you did!

You said you had an abortion!

Yes.

I said that to protect my child.

What?

Lee Yunae, you're crazy!

So what are you going to do after all this time?

What is it you want?

I told you.

I'm going to tell the truth and make things right.

I told you I'm sorry. I am!

But it's been 12 years.

It's all in the past!

You moved on and are living well now!

I'm living well?

I'm begging you.

Please leave

the three of us alone.

Please let me protect my family.

I'll make it up to you for the rest of my life.

I mean it.

You must be really scared of my daughter

to get down on your knees

in front of a crass woman like me.

But Yugyeong,

you look so shabby right now.

I wish there were others here to see you.

Don't do this.

Keep being yourself until the end.

That way, I can really enjoy my victory.

Fine! Do what you want!

See if you can get what you want!

Aren't you cold?

Would you like to warm up in my office?

But it's still raining...

I'm going to act like a true mother for once.

I'm going to bring my daughter's dad back

before it's too late.

She's crazy. She's crazy!

What the...

Oh!

You stayed really late tonight.

I'm sorry, Father.

I stayed too long.

You're the pianist

for this week's service?

It was really nice.

Really?

I recorded it so I could review it,

but would you like to have it?

I love getting a gift,

but you have to listen to it, too.

I can practice again tomorrow.

Okay then. Thanks.

You should go home.

It's raining, so your mom must be worried.

Good night.

Nayeon, you must be happy.

You already have a male fan.

I know.

My fan is handsome, isn't he?

You'd better go. Do you have an umbrella?

You're riding your bike in this rain?

You're in Class 3, aren't you?

I've seen you before,

so can I ask you a favor?

What is it? Do you think I'm rude?

I'm in a big hurry right now,

so can you please give me a ride home?

Shouldn't you wait for my answer

before getting on my bike?

I said I'm in a big hurry.

Let's go.

Are you normally this bold?

In that case...

How about this?

You can't tell the difference between

being bold and being innocent at your age?

Being bold is annoying

but being innocent is really adorable.

So you're saying you're adorable?

Isn't that obvious?

'Ave Maria'

What are you doing?

I'm singing super innocently.

What?

And you can't handle how cute I am right now.

'Ave, Ave'

'Do'

Stop it. I can't bear it anymore.

Really?

Then I'll practice until I get better.

Don't cry. Don't cry.

It's not your fault.

I didn't do anything.

I didn't even touch her.

That idiot woman!

Why did you have to mess with me?

Thanks to you, I won't have to live on

cold rice and soy sauce for a week.

Just a second!

This is for the ride.

Oh!

That umbrella...

It's really old, so I don't need it back,

but if you really want to give it back to me,

you can come to church this Sunday.

I'm playing piano for the choir.

Mom, get me a towel.

Mom, your daughter's going to catch a cold!

What's this?

Is she mad because I came home late?

Stop playing around, and come out!

What?

She's still not back yet?

Why did you come back?

Do you know how many deliveries got cancelled?

If you want room and board, you must work!

If you're shameless, you should at least be sharp.

Are you brazen or just stupid?

Then again, your mom is so thick-skinned,

so why wouldn't you be?

A normal person couldn't abandon her child

because of a man.

You little ingrate.

You won't apologize?

Hey! Have you gone deaf?

You think I'm joking here?

What's all the noise?

What now?

"What now"?

You're busy lollygagging around

while I've been working my butt off out here!

I can't believe this!

You. Clean up here

and do all the dishes!

Learn to pay for your room and board!

Oh, boy.

Hey, you have to be quick on your feet

if you want to survive in this world.

You have to move quickly.

Is it so hard to humor your aunt?

Out of my way!

Uncle.

Send me to an orphanage.

Orphanage?

Yes. I don't want to live this way.

Who's going to make the deliveries?

Stop talking nonsense,

eat what you're told to, and don't cause trouble.

Move!

Where did you go without telling me?

I told you to buy a cell phone.

Why won't you listen to me?

You'd better come home soon.

Wow.

Elise is being tortured in Korea.

It's because I started this today.

Your heart is with Czerny,

but your hands are with Beyer Book 1.

Oh, poor Elise.

It's because you keep distracting me, dad.

What are you saying?

When I've been rooting for you all this time?

What are you doing?

That's violence.

This isn't violence. It's my way of showing

how much I love my daughter.

Then should I show you how much I love you?

- Easy, easy! / - Come here!

Hold on! Stop it!

Stop it. Your mom must be home.

Honey.

Why are you soaking wet?

You have an umbrella in your car.

It's raining really hard.

The umbrella didn't help.

Sejin, go get a towel.

Okay.

You said you were meeting a friend.

You've been with her all this time?

Oh, right.

Women lose track of time when they get together.

What?

Chatting.

- Dad, here's a towel. / - Thanks.

Sejin.

Can you get a bath ready?

Your mom might catch a cold.

Okay.

Honey, you have to grow old in my arms,

get sick in my arms,

and die in my arms. Got it?

What is it? Did something happen?

Charging!

It's charged.

Clear!

(Paternity Test Report)

Clear!

Is that you, mom? Where are you?

A protest? You're kidding!

I will do everything in my power!

Gyeongwan did a great job.

Who is it?

Your first love, mom?

Don't let your imagination run wild.

She's not yours.

I'm your mom's old friend.

It's nice to meet you.

I'm Sejin. Jang Sejin.

That single mistake

tore us apart completely.

Get a hold of yourself, Park Yugyeong!

There's nothing to be scared of!
