I will explain everything. [Emergency Center]

I...

I will tell you everything.

I will tell you everything!

What are you doing? Put her in.

- Let go of me! - Look, we caught you red-handed.

Not to mention you're a suspect in the Seongbuk-dong kidnapping case.

Put her in the car.

Hold on for a moment.

Then give it a try.

Try to explain.

You're right.

I did chase after the child.

But that's...

not because I'm a kidnapper.

I am your child's...

Are you joking around right now?

Can't you speak properly?!

This—

Please calm down. We will investigate her thoroughly.

What are you waiting for?

Dad.

Oh, Woo Joo.

- Are you alright? - What's going on with that Ahjumma?

Why are the police taking her away?

Don't worry. You don't have to be concerned about it.

Let's take a look at you.

Why is your face so pale?

Are you sick somewhere?

Let's see your hands.

Excuse me, she cannot leave now.

What?

You didn't know? That your daughter collapsed from an asthma attack?

Excuse me.

Ah, yes.

Here.

What is this?

It's the bag that the child's mother was carrying when she carried her here on her back.

Mother?

She even pretended to be her guardian?

[Train Ticket]

Look here, Ji Eun Soo.

Are you going to keep your mouth shut?

That the child was running away from you,

we have it on CCTV video.

Woo Joo?

No.

The child was not running from me.

It was because of another woman.

Please tell the child's father about it.

That it wasn't me.

I don't want the child's last memory of me to be like this.

What nonsense are you babbling right now?

I request it, please.

Take a look at this.

[2010.03.19 - Murder - Sentenced to 10 years]

You were convicted of murder?

I knew it.

This is why criminals always commit more crimes.

You are involved in the Seongbuk-dong kidnapping case, aren't you?

Where were you on the day of the incident?

Where did you take that child?

Laughing? Fine.

Let's see how long you can keep laughing.

Find out everything she did, and where she was on the day of the kidnapping.

Yes.

Alright.

Do whatever you want to.

You won't believe anything I say, anyway.

So do whatever you want to.

But

let me make one request, please.

We investigated all night long, but we weren't able to find any clues.

Did you find anything about her background, by any chance?

But you already know, Reporter Kang.

During the investigation, we can't give out any information.

Oh, in that woman's bag, there was a train ticket.

It looks like she was planning to flee after committing the crime, so please investigate thoroughly.

Don't worry. We requested a warrant

and we plan to indict.

But she is a bit odd.

She asked us to tell the child's father to make sure the child takes the medicine.

That she was sick.

Trying to act nice and hope for mercy?

Dad.

Dad?

My Woo Joo woke up?

Do you feel better?

I am okay.

You were very shocked, weren't you?

I wanted to answer the phone when you called,

but I couldn't breathe.

I'm sorry.

I'm sorry I didn't find you earlier.

What happened to that ahjumma?

She did something wrong to you,

so she's being investigated by the police.

But Ahjumma didn't do anything wrong.

In the CCTV video,

she was recorded chasing you.

That's because her daughter looks like me.

Did she say that?

Yes.

How dare she say such things?

Woo Joo, Dad told you.

Don't ever trust strangers.

That's what bad people say to get closer to you.

But that Ahjumma is not a bad person.

Then why did you run away from her?

Woo Joo.

Woo Joo?

Woo Joo!

[Se Mi]

Oh, why is she calling me again?

- We're home. - They're home? Woo Joo!

Oh, my baby.

Aigoo, goodness.

Grandma also passed away with fright.

Grandma.

What about me?

I aged about 10 years while looking for you.

Look at how my skin sags now.

Auntie.

- Asthma? - Yes.

The doctor said it's recurred.

- Oh no. - This is all because of that kidnapper.

I will drive figure-8s into her face.

Do that. Take the lead and I'll follow. I won't stand for this.

Stop it, Woo Joo might hear you.

I'm going to the playground with Woo Joo.

Da Hyeon's dog had puppies.

You're not recovered yet.

It's alright. Hold onto Grandpa's hand and return home safe.

What's wrong? Oppa, you should go too. You said you have some research to do.

Oh...

Take good care of Woo Joo.

Don't worry. We have 3 pairs of eyes watching her.

We will take good care of her.

I'll be back.

Let's go.

Why is your nose getting red all of a sudden?

I'm sad, that's why.

Look at how awful that kid looks with worry.

That kid lost so much weight in one day.

Woo Joo?

Ji Min, I meant.

They say "one leg will walk a thousand miles."

I'm sad that my son is suffering so much.

Women lined up for him, the line long enough to surround Deoksu Palace.

How did he become a struggling single father raising a child alone?

Has Se Mi called you again?

And if she did?

I'm just wondering.

But they have a child together,

so maybe...

Wake up from that dream.

I also thought about

that "maybe" and tried asking Oppa about it.

But he has no feelings left for Se Mi at all.

But why?

They were so close and in love,

why did they break up like that so suddenly?

[Athlete Sponsor Agreement]

[PGA Pro Golfer: Kim Yeon Joon]

[D.O Cosmetics: Kim Ho Ran]

Give us a 'fighting.'

That a world-class athlete like you has become the face of our D.O Cosmetics

is our honor.

Please take good care of me too.

How do you like it?

Having returned to Korea after so long, it feels unfamiliar, doesn't it?

Not at all.

Maybe because I lived here when I was young? It's comfortable.

However, I do feel every time...

this is a bit uncomfortable.

Oh, I watched your interview.

So have you met that person?

The person you are looking for, David.

She was sentenced to 10 years in prison for killing the son of our sponsor, Chairwoman Kim Ho Ran.

No, not yet.

What an important person they must be,

that what you want most is to meet that person.

I admit that I was curious.

It's...

someone that I like.

But aren't there too many reporters here for you to say that?

A joke.

Well, for young people today,

it's considered tacky to hide their love lives, isn't it?

Excuse me.

Yes, this is Eun Se Mi's cell phone.

What's wrong? Has something happened?

I'm sorry, but I have to go now.

- Where are you going? - Later.

The ceremony isn't over yet. David?

Then give it a try.

Try to explain.

You're right.

I did run after the child.

But that's...

not because I'm a kidnapper.

I am your child's...

[Gang Joo Prison]

I came after receiving a call.

Oh, just a moment.

Here.

Is she the person you are looking for?

Yes.

She was a good person.

I would forget that she killed someone from time to time.

- When was this? - The day she was released.

If you had come just 10 days earlier, you could have met her.

Did she say where she went?

- She didn't say anything. - What about her family?

I don't think she had any.

Oh, wait...

Have you been well?

I wanted to contact you.

- Why? - What?

We are completely finished, there is nothing left to say.

Anything left was all burned up, even the ashes have blown away. So why?

But still, we have Woo Joo together.

I didn't know

that you were a mother who cared that much about her child.

Fine.

I know I don't have the right to complain no matter what you say.

But I did miss you both.

I guess spring is here, seeing how you miss people.

That's what they say about fond memories, isn't it?

Because those memories were so dirty at that time.

But after time passes, they seem clean and neat.

And I guess that's how those memories became pretty to you?

You are still very angry with me, huh?

It's strange. Seeing you get so angry at me

actually feels better.

It makes it seem like you have some feelings for me left.

You asked to see me to talk about this nonsense?

I missed you.

It's true.

Every single day, I missed you and Woo Joo.

How dare you—

How can you say that you miss Woo Joo?

I'm a mom, too. I love her as much as you do.

Just—

That accident, it was just a mistake.

Anyone can make mistakes.

No. You cannot call that a mistake.

A mistake is something you can take back.

Let me tell you this clearly.

I will live for my family.

So you...

just live your life the way you want as you always did. Don't try to act like a mom now.

I'll be going now.

Woo Joo grew a lot.

I saw her, and now I miss her more.

You met Woo Joo?

- She didn't tell you? - Where?

Yesterday, in front of the restaurant. Woo Joo saw me and ran away.

- She ran? - Yes.

I was so bewildered by that.

Why?

Did you expect her to run into your arms and hug you?

You are the one who pushed her hand away first and ran away.

The damage you did to Woo Joo

was a despair as if her whole world collapsed.

So don't whine because she didn't give you a hug. It's despicable.

- How can you say such awful things to me? - No.

I could say even worse to you.

- Don't ever appear in front of Woo Joo again. - Oppa.

This is not a request

but a warning.

Woo Joo saw me and ran away.

Ji Min. Have you heard?

- What? - The culprit for the Seongbuk-dong kidnapping case was just caught.

- But it wasn't that woman. - What? - The next news item.

The police arrested the culprit for the Seongbuk-dong kidnapping case, a Mr. Kim in Gyeonggi Province, Icheon City.

The suspect confessed that he kidnapped a child for ransom in order to pay off gambling debts.

- The victim, Ms. Baek, was found safe in a nearby greenhouse. - Yes, Lieutenant?

What?

Yes.

I... I have to get going.

Reporter Kang. Ji Min!

We found a witness who saw what happened while investigating what she did that day.

The reason the child ran was because of another woman, not her.

We confirmed what the witness said with other CCTV videos in the area.

Oh, what have I done?

How degenerate must you be to use someone else's child as a bargaining chip?

- What is it you want? Money?! - No,

I'm not a kidnapper.

I'm just...

- I'm just worried about the child. - You shut that mouth.

If you speak another word,

I won't stand for it.

I'm sorry.

I should have looked at what happened before and after more carefully.

But because it concerned my family,

I let my emotions get ahead of myself.

I sincerely apologize.

The child—

The last time I saw her, she was sick, so...

She improved a lot after taking medicine.

I saw her

running away after seeing a woman.

I ran after her because it seemed strange.

Then she collapsed right in front of my eyes.

In that moment,

I didn't have any other thoughts except that I had to save her.

Please believe me.

I do.

That woman

is someone my daughter knows.

They hadn't met for a long time,

so my daughter must have panicked.

Normally, she

shouldn't run like that.

When she was younger, she had asthma.

I took her to every famous doctor I could find, and I thought she was cured now.

But it recurred.

They say you go back and forth between heaven and hell when you raise a child. I think that's true.

Thank you.

For what?

You seem like a good person.

So that must be why your daughter looked happy.

No,

I am lacking in many ways.

But she grew up well, thankfully.

This is yours, isn't it?

It appears that you are going somewhere.

To be honest, since I mistook you as a kidnapper,

I looked in your bag for information and saw your train ticket.

I'm planning on leaving Seoul.

Oh, and this. You paid for my daughter's medical bills.

- No, thank you. - But we can't impose on you like this.

No, please, it's alright.

Then...

Excuse me.

Then... will you have a meal with my daughter?

I heard from my daughter.

That she resembles your daughter.

That's not the only reason.

You saved her life. I think it is right to at least treat you to a meal.

And she will be happy, too.

She said,

"That Ahjumma is not a bad person."

No, thank you. No.

Instead,

please tell her that I asked her to not be sick.

Then...

Could I...

really do that?

Chairwoman?

Secretary Yoon.

How long has it been?

Have a seat.

Yes.

Have you been well?

Whenever I miss Ki Beom, this makes me feel a little better.

Memories are like that.

The memories you want to remember fade as time passes,

and the memories you don't want to remember become more vivid.

Isn't that true?

Oh, how is your son?

He is still bedridden.

Oh dear. Secretary Yoon, you've also suffered for a long time, just like I have.

When I lost Ki Beom, and you left, too

I felt quite lonely.

Why did you ask to see me?

Secretary Yoon, you are too smart to not know the answer to that question.

You told Eun Soo

that her child died.

Eun Soo came to see me, acting crazy and saying we should burn in hellfire together.

I wish you had seen that, too.

I'm sorry.

No.

You don't have to look that way. I am not blaming you.

I'm glad that you told her.

Thanks to you, Secretary Yoon, now Eun Soo lives in hell.

But...

I hope you can do one more thing for me.

What do you mean?

Monitor Eun Soo.

You have Secretary Kim. Why should I do that?

You are the one who opened the doors of hell for her.

Chairwoman, that child is already dead.

You've gotten your revenge.

Yes. I did get my perfect revenge.

But her actions are a bit strange.

Considering how she came at me saying she would kill me,

she's awfully quiet.

That must be

because she went somewhere?

No.

She isn't someone who would ever just leave.

She is someone who would attack me every day, trying to plunge a dagger into my throat.

There wouldn't be a single quiet day.

So it's really strange.

What calmed Eun Soo down?

I really want to know that.

[ON Hotel]

Where were you?

I need to find someone. I heard there are private detectives in Korea.

She doesn't have any family and nobody knows where she lives.

- I'll text you— - What are you doing right now?

She was released 10 days ago.

Stop this. It's too late.

No, it's not.

If I was going to give up this easily, I wouldn't have even come back to Korea.

Do you know what my mindset was when I returned?

She had one friend who came to visit.

I will find her, no matter what I have to do.

And one more person, please.

Mi Jin Jeong.

Oh, Ahjussi, Ahjussi. Be careful.

These are very expensive.

Please be careful.

Ah, yes.

- Ahjussi, have you seen my son? - I did not.

Jin Gook? Jin Gook?

How old?

1 month.

I meant you.

Eleven.

Same as me.

I haven't seen you around here before.

Oh, we moved here today. That apartment.

Jin Gook?

My mom is calling, so I'll be going.

- See you later. - Really pretty.

Yes, isn't he cute?

I meant you.

Woo Joo, ice cream. It will melt.

Who is that?

She lives in our neighborhood.

Really?

She's the same age as I am.

How nice. You two can be friends.

Yes.

Shall we go?

Woo Joo.

Mom, please don't go. I want to go with you.

Mom! Mom!

Mom!

Mom...

Who wants to see you?

Woo Joo?

Okay, I'll be there.

Cheers.

Let's be healthy, Woo Joo.

- Promise. - Promise.

Stamp.

Oh, that ahjumma was released.

Right? She's not a bad person, is she?

No, she's not. Dad misunderstood.

She seemed to have some sadness.

Maybe she lost her daughter?

Poor ahjumma.

Maybe that's why she cried in front of me.

Did you apologize to her?

Of course.

Then that's fine. You say all the time that people can make mistakes.

But that if you apologize sincerely, and reflect, then you can be forgiven.

Yes, that's right.

Oh right. In the spirit of apology,

I asked her to eat with us without asking you first.

Really? When?

When would be good?

I have a good idea.

Do I look okay?

It suits you so well.

Does it really?

Yes. Going on a date?

Yes. With my daughter.

Dressing up so much for a date with your daughter?

Cheers.

I'm sorry.

A miscarriage is just like giving birth.

I made seaweed soup, so have some.

Mom made this with care for you.

You know it's her birthday today, right?

I feel sorry for myself for having to make seaweed soup for my daughter-in-law on my birthday.

I am sorry.

Stop saying 'sorry' already.

Has anyone ever blamed you?

It's now getting difficult to keep telling you that it's alright.

Mom.

I'm sad, too.

How many times has this been?

Is anyone criticizing you or scolding you because you can't have kids?

Isn't it about time that you give up?

She wants to have Oppa's baby.

But what did Ji Min do wrong?

Every time you do this, we feel like we are being punished.

Imagine how terrible Ji Min feels.

All he ever worries about is you.

That you might be hurt,

or that you might feel pain.

You are the one who wanted to adopt a child.

Then just raise Woo Joo well.

Why do you keep doing this, unable to give up?

That's right, Se Mi. Oppa said this, too.

That your health comes first.

Let's go, let's go.

Wow, my Woo Joo is all grown up now.

- One more. - Wow.

Okay.

Let's see, did we bring everything?

Upsy-daisy.

Upsy-daisy.

Woo Joo asked to go camping.

She said that to apologize to someone, we should go to the very best place.

Do you have the time?

- Dad. - Hmm?

Are you feeling better now?

Yes.

I'm sorry about that day.

You were misunderstood because of me.

I'm alright.

Your name was Woo Joo?

Yes.

Who gave you that name?

Dad. He said this world wasn't enough,

so he loves me as much as the whole sky and all the stars. (T/N: 'Woo Joo' means 'outer space' in Korean.)

I'm a bit of a

Daddy's girl.

Woo Joo? Are you embarrased

- to be 'Daddy's girl?' - Yes.

I'm lying, though.

[KUO's]

- Please use this. - Oh, what am I gonna do?

Who was that handsome guy?

You crazy girl.

Noticing a man at a desperate moment like that?

I am definitely a piece of work.

I'm sure he's waiting for my call.

Maybe I should ask Oppa who he is?

[Se Mi]

You startled me.

She is so tenacious.

- Ji Kyeong Unni? - You scared me!

How can you come here?

Please speak with me for a moment.

What do you keep wanting to talk to me about?

My Oppa has drawn a line when it comes to you.

And nothing says that I can't cross that line, does it?

What?

Please give me Oppa's cell phone number.

I must meet Oppa.

What are you making?

A flower coronet.

A flower coronet?

Come closer.

Let's see.

Daebak.

Do you like it?

For real. When I ask Dad to do my hair, he just pulls everything back really hard.

Please take some pictures so I can show my friends.

Wow! I thought it was a goddess.

Wow! Did your dad learn to do your hair?

Who did that for you? Very skilled.

So beautiful! Yeah!

You look pretty.

My friends say that you are really good, Ahjumma.

Woo Joo, are you happy?

Of course.

Is that so?

That's enough, then.

Please come and eat.

Please sit there.

Dad, how do you like my hair?

Woo Joo, you look so pretty.

Ahjumma did it for me.

I won't wash my hair tonight and go to school like this tomorrow.

Is that so? Then shall I try a little bit more?

Try what?

Pretty.

- Woo Joo, do you want to try it? - Yes.

Please leave that. I will do it.

No, it's alright.

You treated me to a meal, I will clean up.

Then shall we do it together?

You are very good with your hands.

I majored in art.

No wonder.

My Woo Joo draws well, too. You two have that in common.

But... I've been curious...

Woo Joo's mom must be busy?

Huh?

I thought she would come with you.

I am divorced.

Woo Joo doesn't have a mom.

The truth is, the woman that Woo Joo ran away from,

she is Woo Joo's mom.

She appeared so suddenly that Woo Joo must have been shocked.

I want to make sure that Woo Joo doesn't get hurt anymore and lives happily.

I'll just have to try harder.

Gosh, I'm telling you all sorts of things.

Woo Joo doesn't have a mom.

Where is your home?

Please let me off here.

I guess she was very tired.

Thank you for today.

We wanted to treat you, but we ended up having a better time.

Then...

I almost didn't get to say goodbye to you.

Just for a moment.

Let's go, Dad.

What did you two talk about?

Secret.

Ahjumma, if you miss your daughter, come see me.

You said I look like her.

If that comforts you, then anytime is fine with me.

[Train Ticket - Yongsan to Mokpo]

Say ah.

You did well, good job.

Water.

So what did you tell her?

It's a secret, I told you.

Are you going to be this way? How can there be secrets between us?

Then what did you talk about with Ahjumma while washing dishes?

It's a secret.

So childish.

I had no idea I could be this childish.

It was about Mom.

She asked why your mom didn't come along.

So you told her I don't have a mom?

- Woo Joo. - Yes?

If...

If Mom said she wanted to see you, what would you do?

Never mind, you don't have to tell me.

If you don't want to think about it, you don't have to.

No, I want to tell you.

I... don't want to see her.

I asked her not to leave, but she left.

So I don't want to see her, either.

All I need is you, Dad. Really.

[A Channel]

- Ji Min? - Yes?

You are lucky she didn't sue you.

To be honest, even if you were sued, you couldn't complain.

She saved your child's life, but you accused her of being a kidnapper.

Is this like the saying, "Save someone from drowning, and they demand their bag?"

So you guys got something to pick on me about.

I received forgiveness from the person herself. Why the fuss?

- She forgave you? - Yes.

I went with her and Woo Joo and ate together at a camping ground.

- A camping ground? - With her?

To... gether?

- Why? Is there a problem? - Wow.

Kids. Print this in the in-house newsletter.

Reporter Kang Ji Min went to the camping grounds to eat with a woman.

Did you cut the meat for her?

And put it in her mouth like this? Ahh...

Really.

Perhaps the man who gave up on love is climbing up that mountain again?

Even you?

Ji Min Sunbae is blushing.

Really, you are scary people.

I will return.

Are you going on that business trip alone? Maybe you're taking someone?

Flowers are so pretty at this time of year.

That's right.

I'm envious.

My ears are red from embarrassment.

Dad, if you miss me during your business trip, look at these.

These are the only pictures I took with you in them.

Next time, let's take one together for sure.

Dad, it's your granddaughter. She's grown a lot, hasn't she?

Dad, you've never called her by name, have you?

Her name is Woo Joo. Woo Joo.

I even went camping with my daughter.

Look at that.

I'm there, aren't I?

We even ate together.

And she smiled at me, too.

I'm really glad.

That my Woo Joo's last memory of me

is this happy image.

But Dad,

my Woo Joo

asked to meet me next time.

Next time...

[Train Ticket - Yongsan to Mokpo]

The person who will suffer most when she finds out I am her mother.

That person is my Woo Joo, so I was going to leave.

But my Woo Joo doesn't have a mom.

Mom. Mom.

Though I know that's not supposed to be me...

I... want to be by my daughter's side.

I want to live as her mother.

Thanks to the warm weather, there have been many celebrations of spring.

I am in Samcheok, Gangwon Province, to see a cherry blossom festival.

The endless tunnel of cherry blossoms is a dreamy sight.

Cut. Good.

- You've worked hard. - Yes, you too.

I'll meet you again in Gangwon Province.

- Yes. - Bye.

♫ I couldn’t recognize it at first sight ♫

♫ Did I finally understand ♫

♫ the reason of our meeting? ♫

♫ Must be a precious gift from heaven to me ♫

♫ I mean you ♫

♫ I don't want my pounding heart to get caught ♫

♫ I'll take a step back ♫

♫ This day that feels like a gift from heaven ♫

♫ It permeates like a spring light that came quietly ♫

♫ I want to make it seem like it wasn't a coincidence ♫

It's finished.

- Thank you. - Yes.

If only I could become a mother for my daughter,

I thought I could try...

becoming your woman.

How is your health?

It's alright.

It's alright.

The baby... after you heal.

We can just try again.

Nothing's going on, so I'll be home soon.

Report of murder. A man in his 20s. Line Officetel Room 803.

Where was the murder incident?

Line Officetel Room 803. Okay, confirmed.

Line Officetel Room 803?

[Lie After Lie] [Preview]

I won't forget this for the rest of my life.

How warm you were...

Eun Soo, I hope your path is no longer covered with thorns.

I won't leave.

Your wife.

This man doesn't have a wife.

I want to return.

For Woo Joo's sake, it's right for me to return to him.

I thought you were leaving.

I moved nearby here.

Ahjumma makes people happy. I keep smiling when I'm with her.

I will become Woo Joo's mom, no matter what.

♫ At the end ♫
