[Episode 19]

I have evidence to prove that your sister tried to kill you.

If you want to see it, come meet me tomorrow.

Hello?

Hansuk, you didn't listen to me.

I'm going to hurt your sister now.

I'm going to make sure she doesn't survive.

Where are you?

You must feel great inside.

Where are you now?

Want to join us?

Tell me now.

It'll be much more fun with you here.

I'm going to meet your sister at our usual place.

Bring the money.

Your sister's life depends on you.

Hello?

Doyoung, something went wrong with the dubbing.

You'll have to do it again.

Please hurry.

Wait a second.

We don't have much time left. Please hurry.

How much work is required before they can go on stage?

It's ten in the morning and the warm up begins.

Practice continues until six at night.

Let's take a look at the dancers' daily lives.

The cell phone you have dialed has been turned off.

The cell phone you have dialed has been turned off.

Doyoung, what's on your mind?

We have a lot of guests on the show today. Please hurry.

[Shin Doyoung]

We'll be starting ten minutes early because of the baseball game.

Please be on standby.

Doyoung, what are you doing?

I'm going to hurt your sister now.

You must feel great inside.

Doyoung, please hurry.

Wait for me right here.

Jiyeong, Jiyeong!

The cell phone you have dialed has been turned off.

You'll be connected to a voice mail system.

Jiyeong, where are you?

Come back home right now!

Listen to me, Jiyeong!

How are you?

What's this? I thought you had pictures to show me.

Your sister would be disappointed.

You came running here when I mentioned the photos.

I bet you want to tear your sister into pieces.

Were you lying?

Of course I was.

I'm calling the police.

Did my sister make you do this?

You can ask her yourself if you want to find out.

Tell me the truth.

Don't you think you'd get sick of fighting each other your entire lives?

Get out of here.

Jiyeong!

Jiyeong!

Let go!

You asked me to knock some sense into her.

Stop lying and go away!

Hey, your sister is a piece of work.

She begged me to get rid of you.

Leave before I call the police.

Where's my money?

Take it, you piece of trash!

Hey, Saweol. Your sister told me to beat you up.

I think she wants to go back to twenty years ago.

That's when she left you at Seoul Station.

Jiyeong, are you okay?

Did you really ask him to kill me?

Not at all. Trust me.

I can't.

I want to trust you, but I just can't.

Jiyeong, please forgive me.

That day, I didn't lose you.

I left you there on purpose.

I thought I'd be happy with you gone.

That's why I left you at Seoul Station alone.

But I got off the bus and went back for you.

It's the truth.

But you were gone. You had disappeared.

You're lying. It's a lie.

I wanted to disappear as well.

I don't know why I did that, Jiyeong.

I wanted to die.

You should've died.

How could you have done that to me? I trusted you a great deal.

How could you have done that to me when I loved you so much?

I'm sorry, Jiyeong.

Please forgive me.

I can't forgive you. I'll never forgive you.

Jiyeong.

Be quiet. Don't say my name.

I'm scared of you.

I've lived every day in regret. I wanted to catch a deadly disease.

I wanted to jump off a high building.

You should've jumped. It would have killed you.

Why did we have to meet? Why?

Let's go to the hospital. Get up.

Let go.

Mom, are you watching me?

Are you watching your daughter, Hansuk?

What happened? Still no word from Doyoung?

What about our show?

Doyoung isn't the type to do this.

I'm sure she's been in an accident.

We're in trouble. We can't go on the air.

Sir, why don't we let Sieun host the show?

She's read the script.

This is driving me crazy.

Don't worry. I'm confident.

You watch the control booth.

Leave the studio to me.

That Shin Doyoung!

What happened to you? There were a dozen calls for you.

Why weren't you at the TV station?

Were you with Jiyeong when she got hurt?

Jiyeong's knee ligaments were ruptured and her elbow was cut.

Do you know something about this?

Why aren't you saying anything?

Jiyeong didn't say anything either.

What's up with you two?

Jiyeong, are you asleep?

Hi, Dongwu.

What happened?

Something came up.

I'm near your house. Can you come out for a second?

No, I can't.

If I go out now, I don't think I'd want to come back home.

I'm sorry.

I'll be nearby. Call me if you need me.

Pull it together.

[Junse]

You found Myeonghan?

I wasn't able to find Kim Myeonghan,

but I found out which orphanage her daughter ended up in.

What's her name? Is it Myeongsuk of Hansuk?

It's Kim Hansuk. She was sent to Jaeseong Orphanage.

Can't we go any faster?

I'm sorry.

How'd you get hurt?

I fell down. It'll get better soon.

Did you watch me host the "Wonder Woman Show?"

You did well.

But it was a bit awkward. Shin Doyoung is better.

Why didn't Doyoung's show up?

She said she was sick, but I don't believe her.

She's been hosting the show for two years. It was bound to happen sometime.

I'm so hungry. Can't we have the meeting after lunch?

I'm so hungry.

Buy us lunch.

I can't afford to.

Well, you're prettier than I am.

Okay then.

How could you not show up for the show?

I spent all night in the office.

Our advertisers were angry. Even my boss called me.

I must apologize. I'm sorry.

I told everyone that you passed out suddenly.

Who would've believed me if I said you ran out like a crazy person?

I'm sorry.

Is something wrong at home?

I was adopted into a childless home, but soon afterward, a daughter was born.

Yun Saweol is my sister.

I lost her when she was five years old. Twenty years later, we've been reunited.

But there's been a misunderstanding.

I lost her outdoors, but she thinks I did it on purpose.

She just won't believe me.

What a terrible person.

Is that why she came up with the idea for the play?

If Yun Saweol says something, don't let it get to you.

If word gets around, it'll have a negative effect on our show.

I'd be stripped of my title as goodwill ambassador.

Of course not. That'll never happen.

Just trust me.

Even if you hear something strange, just pretend not to hear it.

All of us are on your side. If you go down, so do we.

Shall we pay the director a visit together?

We should come up with a good strategy first.

This is the February 14th, 1988 edition of the "Dongseong Daily."

Seoul Station is crowded with people heading to their hometowns.

I don't know how to start my story.

It's such a terrible story that you probably won't believe it.

My family has been torn apart for 20 years.

I was separated from my parents without ever knowing why.

Korea's leading TV announcer has lied her way through life.

I'm writing this email because I've been hurt so much.

I'm going to start my story at the beginning, on February 13, 1988.

Kim Hansuk was given away when she was one.

That was 1978. So she must have been born in '76 or '77.

Her father is Kim Myeonghan and her mother is Bak Myeongsuk.

I know her.

She was adopted.

Who adopted her?

I'm sorry. I can't tell you that.

She may still be living with them and she may not want to be found.

Sir, I beg you.

Please, I need to know.

We beg you, sir.

We'll promise you scholarships and continuous support.

Won't it be enough to know that she was adopted into a good family?

No.

I have to meet her.

I did something terrible to her parents.

I have to repent for what I did.

I'm sorry.

I beg you.

[Parents: Shin Suho, Choe Jeonghui]

What is your father's name?

My father's name is Shin Suho.

Your eyes look like those of someone I know.

Sir, the play was actually based on my life.

Do you know who my sister is?

She's Shin Doyoung, Korea's finest announcer.

I was on a delivery and I recognized my sister's voice.

I remembered my sister's footsteps as she ran around on the second floor.

I told my sister that I was Jiyeong.

I told her to tell our mother.

Hello.

Mr. Chairman.

Yes, hello.

Shin Doyoung?

Mr. Jang wants to talk to you.

I'll forward the call to you.

Oh!

Maybe he liked the interview.

Maybe he wants to hire you to do a commercial.

You have to treat us to dinner.

This is Shin Doyoung speaking.

I was wondering if we could meet for dinner.

What is it about, sir?

I'll tell you when we meet. I hope you can make it.

But if it's a personal meeting with you,

I'd like to know what it's about.

Aren't you the daughter of Kim Myeonghan and Bak Yeongsuk?

She's here, sir.

I'm…

I'm a sinner.

I know you won't be able to forgive me.

I blamed Myeonghan for a death that he wasn't involved in.

Myeonghan went missing after he was falsely accused.

His wife worked as a private maid and a cook in reestaurants,

but she had to send her daughter to an orphanage.

[To: Kim Jegyeong, Na Hyeonseon]

[Title: The Truth about Shin Doyoung]

After being in an argument, I killed someone accidentally.

The argument was about my business.

I pushed the other man because I got mad.

He hit his head on the cement floor and died instantly.

I…

I blamed the death on my good driver, Myeonghan.

Myeonghan had a sturdy build. He did everything to help me out.

He was the rough type, so it was easy to frame him.

He used to boast that he named you after himself and his wife.

He had your baby pictures in the car.

I wanted to find Myeonghan first, but I couldn't track him down.

You ruined my family. You changed my life.

Please kill me.

Mom, mom.

Why do you bring this up now?

Why are you telling me this?

You should've taken it to your grave.

[Your email has been sent]

I'll reveal what I did to the press.

I'll give away all my fortune, if that's what you want.

Please tell me more about my dad.

Did my father love me?

I can still remember how happy he was when you were born.

Once, I got mad at him for making such a fuss over you.

Your parents made a savings account in your name.

Your dad put his bonuses in it and saved a lot of money.

He said he was going to send you overseas for schooling.

My own account…

Another time, I met your father, who was holding you wrapped up in a quilt.

I asked him what he was doing.

He said that he could never be embarrassed about you.

I'm sure Myeonghan is alive somewhere. Let's look for him.

Don't find him.

If my dad sees me like this, it'll break his heart.

I never want to see him.

And...

I'll never forgive you until the day I die.

I'm going to curse you and wish you unhappiness.

Hi, Dongwu.

Is Doyoung home?

No, she's not.

Did something happen to her today?

Did she get in trouble for not hosting the TV show?

I don't think so. I think everything was okay.

I wonder what's wrong.

I called her earlier, but she hung up on me, crying.

She said she'd call back.

Dongwu, don't ask me about my sister.

Do you remember what our headmaster said at Michael's Home?

We shouldn't hate others.

If we give up because of hardships, we'll end up being losers.

It's not hard to beat your destiny.

The future is up to us.

You don't have a right to say that to me.

You sided with my sister when you knew it would hurt me.

You didn't hang onto my sister even when you knew she loved you,

so don't try to preach to me.

I've had a miserable life for 20 years because of my sister.

I'll never forgive her for that. And you have no right to judge me.

Saweol.

I know what you mean. I'm no fool.

Why don't we just hang up?

I'll send you a message when she comes home.

Doyoung…

Doyoung.

Dongwu.

Stop making me so worried.

You rarely answer the phone and your voice is always hoarse.

How do I look? Am I radiant?

Huh?

Is my face radiant?

Sure. You're always pretty.

I don't mean that.

Do I glow like someone who's been loved?

I do, don't I?

Someone told me about my birthparents today.

My father used to carry me around all wrapped up.

My parents loved me a great deal.

I don't remember it, but I guess I was loved.

I'm sure that my face was glowing with love.

You still look like that.

Dongwu, I can't believe all this is true.

It's as if I've stumbled upon a great treasure.

Congratulations.

Cheers.

So who told you all this?

The person who ruined my family.

Someone I want to curse forever. Someone I'll never forgive.

I guess this is how Choe Jeonghui and Jiyeong feel.

It must be hard for them to forgive me.

Saweol.

Junse. What am I going to do?

What is it? What's wrong?

I did something I wanted to do.

But it's driving me crazy.

My heart hurts. And I feel bad.

It's really killing me.

Saweol, where are you now?

Hello.

What are you doing here at this hour?

I came to see Saweol.

You mean Jiyeong?

Junse.

I couldn't stand Doyoung's lies anymore.

Do you think she'll lose everything?

Or will she try to lie one more time to fix the situation?

Maybe I'd feel less guilty if I were called a liar.

Do I have to forgive her? Why?

What about the 20 years I had to be alone?

I don't think I can tell you to forgive her.

But I'm sure life was hard for Doyoung as well.

I caught her lying again at the TV station.

I saw her telling someone not to believe what I said.

There's something I imagine from time to time.

It's about the time when I was went to the orphanage.

Why didn't I tell my mom that I wanted to leave?

I would've done the same thing.

Stop drinking.

You've had too much to drink.

You've been getting phone calls. Answer it.

Mr. Choe?

I think that hell awaits me at the end of this road.

We can take another road. Don't worry.

Have you lost weight? You seem lighter than before.

Ny gut have been ripped out.

Do you see the stars?

No.

Do you know why you can't see them?

It's cloudy.

It's because you're on my back.

It was a joke.

I'm sorry it wasn't funny.

Tell me you love me.

I love you. I love you heaps.

I'm sorry. Doyoung wasn't feeling so well.

You must be Cha Dongwu.

Come inside.

Doyoung, what happened?

What have you done? You're drunk.

Junse is here.

I guess he has a lot to talk about with Saweol.

Is this Cha Dongwu?

Yes.

He's the only person on earth who truly loves me.

Jiyeong, good job.

My phone is ringing like crazy thanks to you.

Mom, be happy for me.

I'll be falling off a cliff soon.

Stop talking and go to your room. I'll see you next time, Mr. Cha.

Dongwu, don't worry about me.

I'm sure they won't kill me.

They're too cultured to kill me right away.

But they'll make sure that I dry up slowly.

If Jiyeong got sick, she'd use my liver for medicine.

Are you crazy?

Get up, Doyoung.

I'm fine. I'm used to this by now.

Cha Dongwu, come out. Let's talk outside.

Don't worry, Dongwu. Goodbye.

Doyoung, let's try to come together as a family.

Don't do this.

Does Dongwu like you regardless of what you did?

Yes, he even knows how you treated me.

Jiyeong sent emails to members of the press.

What do you mean?

Jiyeong, is what Doyoung's saying true?

You'll be asked for interviews. Put on a facial mask before you sleep.

I'll get my 15 minutes of fame, thanks to you.

I'll be known as the mother who lost her daughter for 20 years.

When I met Doyoung in Hong Kong, I asked her to look for Saweol.

Do you regret it?

I'd be lying if I said I didn't have regrets.

After all, none of this would've happened.

I don't agree with you.

It was bound to happen anyway. You just initiated it.

I know Saweol is having a tough time.

But I feel sorry for Doyoung.

It's not such a great feeling to be sitting next to Doyoung's true love.

But I don't hate you, either.

Thanks to you, I'm able to look into my own soul.

Do you love Saweol?

Yes.

I want to help the two sisters forgive each other and make peace.

Are you crazy?

I'm losing my mind.

You need to be punished as well.

Do you feel sorry for yourself?

Are you mad because of what I did 20 years ago?

I feel more sorry for you now.

You knew early on that mother hated me.

You'd ask me to play with you.

If I didn't, you threatened to tell mom.

I'm sorry. I was five and so immature.

Are you making fun of me?

I just realized that you should be pitied.

What a great day you'll have tomorrow. You can come and watch.

I heard you lying to Mr. Go, the producer.

I got so angry.

Thinking back, I guess I can understand what you did.

You must've focused on your work to make up for everything else.

You seem to know it all.

I wonder why this happened to us.

I can't believe it.

Look at the pictures. It can't be a lie.

If this is all true, what'll happen to our program?

Won't Doyoung be stripped of her goodwill ambassador title?

I'm glad that reporters haven't written about it yet.

I hope it remains so until the end.

After all, this is a family problem.

I don't agree.

I feel sorry for Doyoung, but she really has some explaining to do.

And what good would that do?

It's not about anything good or bad.

Doyoung.

I know what you want to say.

Just wait a few days. I'll declare my position.

It's a lie, right? Doyoung?

Don't worry too much.

I'll give you an official statement within a few days.

Please don't write anything until then. I beg you.

You should be focused on your shop.

It's not right to give me so many clothes.

I owe a lot to Saweol.

Thank you so much for finding Saweol.

She's the friend who's stuck with me during the hard times.

I've learned a lot from Saweol.

Thank you for looking after Jiyeong.

I'll wear the clothes well.

Are you sick? You don't look so well.

Your life must've been rough without your family.

I'd be lying if I said, "No."

What was most difficult?

There are so many children in this world with parents.

There are so many happy people in this world.

You've found your parents.

And you hold the key to your sister's happiness.

Can you find it in you to forgive her?

One of my employees heard rumors from a reporter.

Is it true that you sent emails to reporters?

Yes.

Do you think you can send another email to negate the first one?

Why?

I hope you can forgive your sister.

Why does everyone expect me to forgive her?

Something really bad could've happened to me at that time when I was five.

I hope you can forgive her.

I don't know why you're asking this from me all of the sudden.

The girl…

The girl that I've been looking for is your sister, Doyoung.

I checked the documents at the orphanage.

She was adopted in 1982.

If I hadn't accused Myeonghan, she would've never ended up an orphan.

And none of this would've happened.

Why don't you blame everything on me and forgive your sister?

I hope you can stop things from getting out of control.

Please.

I ask you.

I hope you're not too busy.

I'm not.

I have a favor to ask.

Can you pick out a present for mom? You know her tastes.

When I was worked as your personal shopper…

I was the happiest when I was picking out your dresses.

Here.

Doyoung and Jiyeong, look this way.

Look here.

One, two, three.

That's cute. Jiyeong, kiss your sister.

One, two, three. That was great.

Look this way.

Doyoung, kiss your sister.

One…

There were times when we were happy together.

Thanks.

Are you going home right away?

Yes.

You must be upset today because no one wrote about the story.

But don't worry.

Reporters don't keep other people's secrets for long.

Especially, something of this caliber.

Your wish will come true soon.

I'll see you at home.

What's this?

It's a present. Open it up.

I'm sorry about yesterday.

I wanted to apologize.

I rarely wear broaches.

But you can wear this one. It's pretty.

When I was in the fourth grade, you came to school with a broach on.

You were the substitute teacher that day.

You were so pretty. I was proud of you.

Thanks for the present.

If you were a real mother, you would've pretended to like it.

You've always treated me like that.

Can't you be nice to me at least once every ten years?

Can't you let me leave this home with a single good memory of you?

Whether you liked it or not, we've lived together for 30 years.

If I leave without any good memories, I'll feel so sorry for myself.

I think it's over between you and Junse. Get hitched with Dongwu and leave.

I will.

I always do as you tell me.

I have a mother and father now.

My father is Shin Suho and my mother is Choe Jeonghui.

My name isn't Kim Hansuk anymore.

My new name is Shin Doyoung. Doyoung…

It's a pretty name.

I really like my name.

I'm sorry. You can call me a mad woman.

Let's just pretend I never sent the email.

I heard about the past when we were happy.

Do you think my father knows about me?

Do you think he's watching me every day from far away?

If what I fear most becomes a reality, I'd be too ashamed to meet my father.

That's not fair. I would've wanted to go with you.

I left in the morning and came back at night.

If we left together, I wouldn't have wanted to come back alone.

I would've returned with you.

I have a favor to ask, Dongwu.

Ask me anything.

When my recording is over, let's go to dinner and a movie,

and the sauna, too.

Do you think you can manage? People will recognize you.

Who cares? I've always wanted to do these things with you.

That's nothing hard. Let's do it.

I'll go and buy the movie tickets.

Good luck with the recording.

You can't take a picture of a bridge while you're standing on it.

Trips can have certain meanings.

It may not be possible to truly know the meaning

of being alive during one's lifetime.

However,

maybe it's possible to know who you love most right now.

Today is Wednesday, a perfect day to say thanks.

The theater was full, but someone returned two tickets.

I was so lucky to get them.

See you later.

Doyoung.

It's on the internet. The pictures and your story.

I asked them not to publish it,

but one person broke the promise.

It's okay.

I still hate you.

I may never fully forgive you.

I'm trying hard to forgive you.

I want to take it a step at a time.

So you take care of this mess.

Okay. I'm confident I can handle it.

Don't worry.

Are you going somewhere?

Yes, I have an appointment.

See you. Take care, Jiyeong.

Hey, why are you here alone?

Doyoung, why are you crying?

I'm so happy that I'm scared.

Doyoung.

Mom!

What is it?

I'm so happy.

Mom.

Doyoung, look at the baby.

Isn't she pretty? She's your sister.

Give her to me so I can feed her.

Let's go.

I'll be right back. Stay here.

Hurry on back.

Okay. Wait for me there.

Mom, why did everything end up this way?

I didn't have the courage, but I wanted to run away.

I didn't have a place to call home, but I missed the warm air.

I wanted to be happy, too.

Just once, I wanted to be loved.

I wanted it every day.

I was stupid.

There were things about my life that were positive.

Why did I concentrate on something I didn't have?

Hi Doyoung. Where are you?

Is the traffic heavy?

Dongwu, have you been waiting long?

No, time flies.

I may be very late.

Just come. I'll wait for you.

I may not make it in time.

That's not a problem. We can catch the next one.

Will you wait for me?

I said I would. Come when you're ready.

Dongwu, can I call you if I have a nightmare today?

Of course.

Thanks, Dongwu.

I love you and I'm sorry.

Don't wait for me if I take too long.

What are you talking about?

You were the warmest person in my life.

Are you going somewhere?

I'm going to where you are. See you later.

Thank you.

I have many happy memories to take with me.

I was a very happy person.

I won't be having any more nightmares.

There were days when I wanted to be loved by my mother.

Please forgive my greed.

Jiyeong, I'm sorry.

Don't forgive your sister for leaving you this way.
