Hello? Oh, Tae Sup.

I heard from your wife this morning.

You're coming up today?

I'm on my way up right now, mom.

Did you give that back to her?

No...

I'm bringing grandmother back up with me right now.

... what did you say??

You're bringing her with you?

Yes, mother

are you shocked?

Why? Did she change her mind?

I'll explain everything when I get there.

Was that Oppa (older brother)?

yeah

mom, what's wrong?

mom?

He says he's bringing grandmother back with him.

...mom!

mom...

are you okay?

I don't know

what mindset she's coming here with.

When I was there, she wouldn't even let me bring it up.

Do you think she was touched by Oppa?

He was like that from the beginning--telling you to meet grandmother.

Mom..

Oh wait.. what should I do? I need to go to work...

Call, mom. Call her. Will it be a big problem if you miss a day?

I saw how sick she was, I'm not sure if I can do that.

Min Seo Young is sick?I

Yes. let's go inside quickly and dry our hair!

she's not picking up?

unni.. oppa is

bringing grandmother up here.

what? really?

Oh, hello. This is your housekeeper.

it seems like you're still not well

Your voice is not strong. hey.. Grandmother is really coming to our house?

I have a situation here, so I can't come today.... what should I do?

It's okay. Stay there. I'm alright.

bye.

She found out she was pregnant after I left.

She didn't tell me because she had no thoughts of coming to Korea.

she has raised him by herself since then

then what is going to happen with the land? if grandmother comes and lives with us, we don't have to give it back to her.

I wonder if oppa already gave it to her?

if oppa gave it to her, we'll just have to take it back. right mom?

be quiet. the land has nothing to do with you

What do you mean it has nothing to do with me? If you get rich, I'll at least get some crumbs.

So immature... Mi Soo, run an errand for me. What?

Mom's acting weird, isn't she? I think she's feeling strange.

Unnee, put yourself in mom's position. 36 years ago, her mom abandoned her family and now that she's a grandmother herself, they're meeting again. How would you feel?

I don't know. I can't even imagine living away from Mom.

Mom, what errand?

She's sick. I don't think I'd feel at peace unless I at least make some porridge. You don't mind going, do you?

to Min Seo Youngs?

Even if you don't want to, just go.

I don't not want to go.

Mom, since grandmother's coming, what are we going to make.

Food, I mean... do you remember what she likes?

you need to go shopping mom!

She rolled up rice in laver,

and dipped it in soy sauce.

When we were young, she rolled rice up for us too.

us?

Oh...

uh... to the family!

are you talking about our aunt in the states?

Was I three...?

You're talking about the aunt who visited us in Seoul, just once.

I was so young I don't even remember ...

stop talking nonsense and go clean the bathroom

I think Yoon Mi and Yoon Ji made a mess while bathing there

Grandmother left you, your sister left,

Why did they all leave you?

There are plenty of people in the world who live without parents or siblings.

go and clean the bathroom!

Since grandmother's coming, it just made me think of auntie, too, that's all.

MiSoo, what brings you here?

hello

I'm here because my mom told me to bring you some porridge

Please tell her that I'll eat it well.

I didn't know she'd be sending some porridge.

I think she is sorry she couldn't come, especially because you're sick.

She's someone who is always true to her word, but today there are some special circumstances at home.

That's why she couldn't come.

does your head hurt a lot?

Should I buy you some medicine?

I have medicine at home, but it doesn't work.

Then, some different medicine...

Can you leave?

Just leave.

We're finished.

I said PLEASE GO!

MiSoo's here, too.

Calm yourself down.

you have a son...

how can you tell me to calm down?!

You've had a son this whole time!

And you want me to calm down?

go! GO!

I...I'll be going now.

good bye

I don't want to see you.

I'm not going to see you!

Just leave.

I SAID GO!

Can you go for some tea?

Should I speak first?

You must have been surprised.

and also taken aback.

The fact that I was there, you can just act like I wasn't.

I wasn't there.

Of course you'd be curious about what happened.

no...

I thought I heard something that couldn't be true for a moment

but that doesn't matter

both of you..

I don't know what to say...

I hope things work out for you.

MiSoo,

strangely enough,

even though I've only known you for a short time

you've shown me a lot of things

I don't know why.

things pertaining to Joon,

my drunken state,

I can act as though I never saw that either.

Joon

is my son.

it's true that he just recently came from America.

The Joon, that I never knew.

I didn't know that he was born shortly after I returned to Korea, until just recently.

It was a given that SeoYoung needed to know.

Right now, we, I mean

Seo Young is going through a really difficult time right now

because she can't accept the fact that Joon is my son

I think if it were me, I would feel the same.

Until now

we've never even had a small problem.

We've seen others deal with problems,

but we really had no problems before.

It seemed that Min SeoYoung really loved you a lot, Director Han.

That's why, although the shock is really severe right now,

I believe that the power of love will prevail.

Isn't that SeoYoung?

what are you still doing in there, aren't you going inside?

Daddy,

my child, what's wrong with you?

wait.... Seo Young?

what is wrong?

why are you like that?

huh?

seo young!

what are you doing?

get water, quick!

dear... here...it's water

Are you okay?

please calm down

Calm you heart.

im sorry mom

Break off the engagement.

IMMEDIATELY!

what? a son?

They say that "couldn't possibly" is just imagination run wild...

With his lacking in other ways, now a son on top of all that?

seo young..

I cannot allow this marriage.

i wont let it happen!

I already said I would break off the engagement.

dear!

you think the same, don't you?

You're no trying to say anything else, are you?

of course, for sure

i am on your and seo youngs side

i can NOT forgive this!

How can I forgive something like this?!

call him now! straight away!

there's no need to.

Breaking off the engagement is simple.

seo young

there were times when i wished while looking at you,. that you loved young min less

what are you trying to say?

Breaking off the engagement...

are you sure you won't have any regrets?

What do you think about taking a little more time to make sure

that you won't regret breaking off the engagement?

Honey! Are you saying that it's all right for our daughter to marry Han YoungMin, when he's saddled with a child?

What do you mean think it over? This is not something that needs to be reconsidered.

I can't marry my daughter off to a man like that and still hold my head up high.

That's smearing mud on your reputation, too.

seo youngs life is more important!

dad

I'm going to break off the engagement.

YoungMin doesn't love me.

Wh...what's that?

If he loved me, how could he tell me he had a son?

how could he say such a thing?!

He should have taken care of it in a way that I wouldn't have known.

That's a given.

When did you father end up like that?

yes?

When did he leave this world--your father?

10 years ago.

how old were you, then?

It was when I just entered my freshman year in college.

MiSun was a junior in high school and MiSoo was in 8th grade.

how did you live?

At first, mother took over the bookstore that father owned,

but things weren't going well.

So, mom leased the store out and became a housekeeper.

Did she manage to send you all to school?

MiSun wasn't interested in studying so she only graduated from highschool,

but MiSoo graduated from college,

and I finished my PhD.

You have a doctorate?

yes

I teach students at university.

Right now it's only part-time, but starting with the new term, I'll be teaching full-time.

How is ShinJa living?

Yes?

Your maternal aunt, ShinJa.

where does she live?

i only know that she lives in the states

What do you mean you dont know? Do you mean to say you haven't kept in touch with each other?

i dont remember much because i was too young, but thats when she left for the states

even if she went to the states, how come you dont know anything about her?

she came once when i was in primary school

then after that, there hasn't been any news.

what is this you're saying? then is your mom not even knowing about the only little sibling she has?

how could an older sister....

aunt stopped all contact with us, thats why

what in the world.

you don't know anything?

yes...

gosh.... what if i get into a situation like this in the future?

what are you supposed to do, when suddenly you have a child?

Do you really think Professor Han will get dumped?

Because of his son that he didn't even know existed?

what should i call this?

Isn't this a type of natural disaster?

It wasn't as if Professor Han did something wrong.

i dont really know

they loved a long time ago

the love was finished but the son shows up now.

i wonder what love is

When i was a freshman in college, I read the Bible once.

It doesn't fit exactly, but there's something that stands out.

what is it?

Love covers countless wrongs.

have you ever heard it?

no.

Breaking off the engagement isn't covering up a wrong, is it?

i don't know.

It did seem that Min SeoYoung's shock was great.

You guys have to give it your best today. I dont even have much money but i signed you guys up, okay?

Don't worry! YoonMi, since you're starting school next year you have to work really hard.

Even so, it's only English and art--that's only two things.

Why do you say things like that? Do you know what a benefit this is?

I wasn't going to do stuff like this, but your uncle says it's cheaper at the city center.

What?... you want to do MORE?

We don't have any money anyway...

But mom, it'd be nice if Joon could go too.

Joon?

Joon doesn't even have any friends.

Should I ask?

you don't even know their phone number.

We can just ask your auntie...

Oh. We have to buy dog food, too, don't we?

Can you give us some dog food, please?

is there anything else?

Just the food, please.

Joon-ah!

Joon! Joon!

Hello!

So we meet again. Yes.

Is this your puppy?

Oh, by the way, Joon's grandfather. We're on our way from registering at the city's pre-school program, and

YoonMi was saying that it would be good if Joon signed up as well, since Joon doesn't have any friends.

What is that?

It's something sponsored by the government for kids who haven't started school yet. They do all kinds of educational programs.

So it would be really great if Joon could go and make new friends and study there as well, right?

I already signed up the two girls for two subjects: English and art.

It's pretty cheap too.

Our Joon doesn't need English.

Ah, that's right. He came from America.

Mom,

What is it?

I'm just curious about how you feel meeting your mother after 36 years...

Even if I try to imagine what kind of emotion it must be, I can't really understand it.

What would it be like to never know the mom who gave birth to me.

I can't even begin to understand.

I'm trying not to think anything.

I still have a bit of hatred inside me,

and I dislike myself for that.

and then,

there were times I would tear up, too.

But then, I dislike myself for that, too. So I try not to think anything.

Since she's my mom.

and I'm the child.

That's what I plan to leave it at.

Hurry up and change your clothes.

What a relief that grandmother has a daughter like you!

What would grandmother have done if you hadn't been there?!

Hurry up, or we'll get in trouble with grandma.

Mommy, wait for us!

Hurry..hurry!

Oh, it's your uncle!

mom, grandmother has arrived

Mom, she's here.

grandmother is here!

It's a pleasure to meet you for the first time.

I'm Mi Soo, grandmother.

She's the youngest, grandmother.

Did she grow up like that?

Did your mother teach you like that?

You should do the grand bow for your elders.

The grand bow? Of course we should, come right in grandmother!

Please come in, grandmother.

Why isn't your mother even coming out?

How did you end up changing your mind?

It's good that you came.

Here, YoonMi.

Wow, that's so much grandmother, just give her 1000 Won (about a dollar).

Go ahead, take it.

Thank you very much.

And the younger one is YoonJi.

Thank you.

You know you're going to put those in the piggy bank, right. Give it to mommy.

Hurry.

You're hungry, aren't you?

I'll set the table.

Mother,

I wasn't able to give this to grandmother.

I haven't spoken to her about it yet.

What's that?

Please tell her, mother.

It's a land deed. Apparently, your husband left this to me when he passed away.

Land? What...., he left you an inheritance?

With a letter.

I mean... how in the world. In his state...to think of that...

He said, in case we were to take you in, to take good care of you.

So...., you brought me here just because of this?

Because you received some land?!

There was no reason for us to accept it,

so I sent Tae Sup to YeoSu to give it back to you!

Aiyoo, aiyoo...I see her personality is still exactly the same as her father's.

MiSun, MiSoo, come out and set the table.

Come here, quickly!

All we have left to do is carry it out, right?

I don't have any excuse.

I have nothing to tell you.

You know SeoYoung's personality well enough. How could you allow the situation to come to this?

It wasn't only SeoYoung, but you made fools of all of us.

Didn't you assume that it was a given that we'd just accept this and move on?!

I'm sure it's not like that.

So then he must have been thinking of forgetting about the marriage.

Every day was filled with suffering.

The only thought I had was to confess the truth.

Do you really think Seo Young can become that child's mother?!

He will cause her trouble for the rest of her life.

I can't allow that kind of marriage to take place.

I never even considered breaking off the engagement.

It's not you, but SeoYoung who's breaking it off.

I think we need to give this some time.

Will that make the boy disappear?

There's no need for that.

I'm breaking off the engagement.

Seo Young!

I'll say it again in front of my mom and dad.

Let's break it off.

Besides, my heart has already broken it off.

How to love a man that already has a child,

I don't know anything about that.

There won't be anything like that in my life.

Seo Young!

Why are you dragging this out? If she wants to break it off, then that's that.

Honey!

What's even harder to know is Han YoungMin's love.

Even though I was in so much pain I thought I'd die,

YoungMin wanted me to accept that child.

This isn't the love I've always wanted.

Not in a million years.

Can't you try to understand me just one bit?

This matter has nothing at all to do with my love for you, SeoYoung.

My heart hasn't changed at all!

How can you talk about calling it off so easily?

This isn't right.

Easily, huh?

So.....

the fact that I've turned into some mentally unstable woman because of this...

doesn't mean anything at all to you?

Easily, you say?!

That's not what I mean!

I loved you.

And was engaged to you. Does it seem like it was easy for me to break all that off?

Do you know who our household is for me to easily call off an engagement?

I can't say that breaking off the engagment is the circumspect thing to do right now.

Honey, what do you mean circumspect?

Is it circumspect to give your daughter to a man who already has a son?

I'm just saying let's think things over more deeply,

so that we can make a decision that won't cause regrets later.

By thinking things over 10 times or 100 times, will it make an existing son disappear?

I cannot allow SeoYoung to have this kind of marriage.

How could I?!

Aigoo...how could this...this is preposterous!

I want to stop talking.

If you had been me,

what would you have done. Tell me.

I couldn't think of any other way than this one.

...telling you straight out and honestly.

If I was wrong in doing that,

then teach me.

Can you send the child back?

Back to that woman?

Why can't you answer?

That's choosing to throw me aside.

Eat well, grandmother!

Mother doesn't make chapchae often because it's so labor intensive, but she even made chapchae today.

How hick.

Why grandmother?

Do people still make chapchae when guests come over?

Well, in our house, we always make chapchae when guests come over.

All of the guests love our Chapchae, so...

We all love it, even the kids!

Grandmother, the dish that our mother makes best in the world is this bulgogi (barbecue beef).

Please try it.

Even if you eat this at a traditional restaurant, it won't come close to our mother's taste.

It appears she learned from watching me all those years ago.

So mom, grandmother taught you how to make that?

Please eat some "keem" (roasted, salted seaweed sheets).

It's the kind that you like, not seasoned.

Oh, I was wondering why the seaweed wasn't seasoned, but it's because of grandmother, right?

Why do you like eating un-seasoned seaweed?

When I asked mother what kind of food you liked, she said you liked unseasoned seaweed.

A long time ago, I did.

What about now?

Well, I'll still eat it.

Is it good?

You must be quite tired.

Driving all the way to YeoSu and back.

And on top of all that, your sleeping arrangments must have been uncomfortable, too.

I didn't even know I was tired. Maybe it was because I was so excited.

Oppa, you did a good job

Oppa, you're the best. You did something really big.

You really think that way, right?

Of course.

Grandmother and mom will get along well, right?

There are a lot of things left between them, but they're still parent and child, right?

The mother who birthed me; the child I labored to give birth to.

What other explanation is needed?

You're right.

Use this closet.

I'll hang it up for you, grandmother.

You didn't even prepare a room for me and dragged me up here?

We only have the back room that we use for storage--that's why.

Do you want your own room?

Are you telling me to use the storage room?

If you really want to be alone, I'll move into another room.

If I take over the master bedroom, I'll feel uncomfortable, so I don't want to.

Oh grandmother, you really have a lot of clothes!

You must be a real fashionista.

Do you even wear these kinds of clothes?

I could wear these!

Mom!

Your brother left?

My head hurts, so I think I need a cup of coffee..

What's wrong?

I want to make that cup.

Mom,

instead of drinking coffee, do you want to go to the street vendor?

It's been a long time since we've been to the street vendor's.

Let's go mom. Hmmm?

I'm home, mother-in-law.

I know.

Did you eat dinner?

She ate.

There's no reason to come in.

But I went down to the countrside and back, I still need to greet you properly.

I came back safely.

Did Shin Bi have a good time?

What is so complicated with your household?

I went down to bring back my maternal grandmother.

Where did you get a maternal grandmother from? I thought she had passed away?

I thought so too,

but apparently she left long ago, and we lost touch. We just recently reconnected so I went to get her.

How did you find out where she was?

ShinBi's dad, I prepared your bath.

Since she's calling you, go.

Yes, mother.

Please sleep well.

Mom.

Our grandmother does seem to be a bit interesting.

Grandmothers usually don't speak that way, you know.

It seems like she's making it hard for us on purpose.

"Do you make Chapchae for guests nowadays? So simple."

"Didn't even prepare a room for me, do you drag people around like that?"

Slowly, mom, slowly.

I'm just saying this to make you laugh.

Am I complaining?

You just watch out. When I get twenty years older...

Your mom's not going to change.

My heart and my speaking style.

will be the same as now.

Mom,

was grandmother like this back then too?

mom, toast!

In any case, you got to meet the mom who gave birth to you.

and now you're able to live together.

So, I still don't understand...

... why I still feel so conflicted inside.

She left a sick father...

And my younger sister in my care.

Leaving the front gate,

that contemptible mom...

the mom who I hated in my heart all this time...

Even though 36 years have passed,

she hasn't changed a bit.

I don't know what I expected that my heart feels so heavy.

If she had held out to the end and refused to come from YeoSu,

I think you would still have been upset.

Do you really think so?

If you hadn't known anything, it would have been different. But having seen her there in YeoSu, would you have felt at peace?

Mom,

let's do another toast?

What are we toasting to this time?

Isn't it that guy?

Min Seo Young's fiancé?
