What's wrong?

Disappointed that I wasn't the reporter you were waiting for?

No matter what you try

your daughter will not be released from prison.

No.

That reporter promised to help me.

So just wait. My daughter will be released from prison.

If you continue, you will really get hurt.

Let go of me.

Are you threatening me right now?

Yes? Reporter Kang Ji Min? Yes?

Let go!

Hello? Hello?

I have to save her. I have to save Eun Soo.

Sir?

Please come to your senses, Sir.

Please wake up.

Sir?

I'm sorry.

I know I can't be forgiven by doing this

but the sin I committed against you,

I will try repay you

by helping your daughter.

From Chairwoman Kim Ho Ran

I will protect your daughter.

[Ji Dong Ri]

- You will probably need this? - Yes.

Alright, let's see. What about this?

What is that?

I don't know what that is.

We need this to show that you've been doing well in your studies.

We're prepared now. You can come in.

Yes.

Woo Joo, you are very talented at drawing.

You were trained well in sketching, too.

You understand well where to put the shades and the light.

Really?

- I practiced a lot with drawing figures, too. - You did?

Then with me, how about

we use what you learned at art school

and learn about how to express what you're feeling and thinking?

Yes, Teacher.

You can just call me Ahjumma.

No, that's not a proper attitude for a pupil.

Alright.

This side, too.

What does that look like to you?

A bird.

This is the beak. And these are the wings.

You did well.

Let's think about it freely, just like that.

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

How about some fruit?

- Is it fun? - Yes.

Teacher, you try, too.

- Let me take you home. - No, I'm alright.

I ran out of beer, so I was on my way to the convenience store.

Let me carry that for you.

Thank you.

No, I'm the one who is grateful.

Woo Joo has really fallen for your drawing.

She said she really wanted you to be her art teacher.

I don't know if I will do well.

I heard you briefly outside the room.

You seem very experienced with teaching.

When I attended college

I worked part-time at an art school for those preparing to attend art college.

No wonder.

Oh, right.

Payment for your services.

You didn't mention the amount, so

in there, I put the amount that matches what they charge in the art schools in this area.

What's wrong?

Well...

then...

how about this?

How about we try this without fees for the first month?

And you can pay me starting from the second month?

No way, how can we ask you to do this for free?

I'm just a little uncomfortable with this, that's why.

It's not like I've taught children as a professional

like other teachers. So it feels odd to accept money right away.

I request it.

Woo Joo,

I really enjoyed the time we spent together today.

See you next time.

Good night.

My daughter.

Please accept this and be at ease. But in return,

please adore Woo Joo twice as much and teach her well.

Let me carry that for you.

Thank you.

She currently lives in a rented rooftop room in Seongbuk-gu.

- Seongbuk-gu? - Yes.

I don't think she has any particular business there.

Who is this man?

He is the man Ji Eun Soo is seeing currently.

- Ji Eun Soo is dating a man? - Yes.

He's a reporter at A Channel, working at the Culture Desk.

He divorced his wife three years ago.

Hold on.

I've seen him somewhere.

Why bother calling us here, then?

When you are doing such wonderful work,

of course we reporters should gather to celebrate it.

"I Will Be at the Lowest Point in the World."

Wow, the elegance of even that title.

How about another round of applause?

Secretary Yoon brought these to me.

Please confirm that this is correct information, Department Manager Kim.

Yes, I understand.

Ji Eun Soo is dating a man?

There is a woman.

Is that true?

That's what I said. Next to your son,

I see a woman.

Can you also see what kind of woman she is?

What is it?

Thank you. Come again.

- Goodbye. - Yes, thank you.

Let's clean this up.

Aigoo, so busy.

Where have you been? Do you know how busy we were?

Really. He even had to call me in here.

I went to the temple to make an offering.

Temple? Why go there when you are Christian?

It's no fun to just go to heaven.

I thought I'd visit the afterworld, too.

Why? Has something happened?

You know, in Sinsa-dong—

Sinsa-dong?

Out of the way.

Did you go to a fortune-teller?

You should have taken me along.

You said he is always wrong. Why go there again?

So, what did he say?

- Am I getting married this year? - Yes, is she?

Ridiculous.

I didn't go there to ask about you.

I went because I was sad about your brother living like a monk for the past three years.

You did something useless again.

Ji Min said he is not interested in women.

But he said there is a woman.

- What? - Really?

Yes.

Then you should be dancing with joy.

Why do you look so sad?

Isn't it a good thing that there is a woman?

Yes, that is true, but—

But?

- The woman... - What about her?

Is she ugly?

He said there were two women.

- Two? - Two?

Let me take you home.

No, it's alright.

I ran out of beer, so I was on my way to the convenience store.

Let me carry that for you.

Thank you.

You don't have to say that.

No, I'm the one who is grateful.

Woo Joo has really fallen for your drawing.

Who is that?

I miss her.

Teacher, if you have time,

can I have an art lesson today?

I'm sorry I asked to change our art lesson day.

Tomorrow is my friend's birthday party, so I couldn't have my lesson.

No, this is really fine with me.

Our last lesson was really fun.

What is our lesson for today?

What color do you like, Woo Joo?

I like blue.

Blue?

What season do you like?

Summer. There are a lot of peaches.

Woo Joo, do you like peaches?

Yes. Grandma said I'm a "peach monster."

What about you, Teacher?

I also

ate a lot of peaches when I was pregnant.

So my dad said that I had a "peach monster" in my belly.

Then we have two things in common.

We both like art and we both like peaches.

Yes, Dad?

Yes, don't worry. Okay.

What did your dad say?

That he will be a little late, so I should go to my grandma's to eat dinner.

Then Woo Joo,

how about if I make dinner for you?

- That's very pretty. - Ta-da.

Let me try that.

Stir that in.

♫ I couldn’t recognize it at first sight ♫

Shall we put it in now?

- Like that. - Like that?

♫ Do I finally understand the reason ♫

♫ of our meeting? ♫

Wow.

I want to show my friends.

♫ Must be a precious gift from heaven to me ♫

Let's eat.

Thank you.

It's so good. You are a "yo chun."

- "Yo chun?" - Cooking genius.

Thanks. I love that you eat so well, Woo Joo.

Everything you make for me is strangely delicious.

This is a secret, but,

it tastes better than the food that my grandma makes.

Really?

What do you want to eat next? I will make anything you want.

This tteokboki is enough.

No, I want to make whatever you want, anything.

Then... gimbap.

The gimbap you made last time was really yummy.

Alright then, I'll make you gimbap,

and pizza and jjajangmyeon, too.

You can even make jjajangmyeon?

Of course. If Woo Joo wants it, I will make all of it.

Woo Joo.

Dad, you're home early.

The event I was supposed to attend was canceled.

Gosh, I'm sorry. You've worked so hard.

She could have gone to her grandma's place.

No, I had fun with Woo Joo.

Teacher made me tteokboki.

Tteokboki?

Who could it be at this hour? Continue to eat, please.

Yes?

Oh hello. We live across the hall.

I made some japchae, so I brought a little for you.

Ah, yes.

Ji Eun Soo?

Do you two know each other?

Yes. Of course we do.

We were colleagues.

Colleagues?

Yes. Colleagues from school.

[Bank Account]

It's not much.

It's the money I saved while I was in here.

You may need some money to get a job right away.

Are you crazy?

If you give this to me, then what about you?

I don't need money.

Just live a good life on my behalf.

My life is ruined anyway. What's the use of making an effort to live well?

Then what if you end up meeting your child?

Unni. We may be lacking as mothers

but let's not become shameful mothers.

Somehow we became this way,

but so that we can have more dignity,

let's make our best effort.

I

will wait for you.

- When you get out, you have to come visit me first. - I will.

You promised to come visit me first.

I'm sorry.

Do you know how much I waited for you?

I was going to cut you off completely.

Where have you been? What have you been doing?

I...

I had such a hard time, Unni.

This fridge is just too small.

Why did you buy so much? It doesn't even all fit in there.

So many times in prison, you made sure I ate.

And I have a lot of money now.

Unni.

Hey,

I keep my hands off other people's wallets now.

And everyone uses credit cards now,

so it's not so easy to steal money, anyway.

I'm joking, obviously.

After I promised you, I lived a clean life.

I couldn't bring myself to do anything bad seeing the money that you gave to me.

Instead, I used that money

to learn baking and even opened a small bakery.

Saved some money, then...

Unni, you got married?

It's all thanks to you.

He was a regular at my bakery.

Belated congratulations, sincerely.

What kind of man is he?

He has a son

and he's a bit strict, but he's a nice man.

Oh, my husband, he works for your mother-in-law's company.

Chairwoman Kim Ho Ran, right?

And what about your child?

Your mother-in-law took her and offered to raise her well.

So, have you heard about your daughter?

If you're curious about your daughter

should I ask my husband to find out?

No.

No...

Unni, I want to make a request of you.

I want to forget everything.

I want to forget my past completely and make a fresh start.

Can you do that?

I know how much you longed for your baby.

I thought that it might be better for her to not know of my existence.

Maybe someday in the future, in the far ahead future,

until the time comes for me to tell them about the past,

the Ji Eun Soo of the past is dead.

And, Unni,

to Woo Joo and her father,

please keep my past a secret from them. - Huh?

The truth is, I'm giving art lessons to Woo Joo,

and they don't know that I am a convict.

I was going to tell her dad

but...

Don't worry about that.

I'm the same, after all.

Unni, how do you know Woo Joo and her dad?

My son is in the same class as Woo Joo.

So you must have heard, too.

Woo Joo doesn't have a mom.

Why is that?

I went to a general assembly meeting at school this afternoon

and the other parents told me

that Woo Joo is friends with my son, and asked me if I was okay with that.

What does that mean?

That kids from divorced families,

there is always some problem with them, so I should be careful.

Oh, Woo Joo, Auntie is here.

Here!

I told her not to dress in animal prints.

You don't like it?

She looks so cool, what's wrong with it?

Good morning.

- Hello. - Yes, hello.

Woo Joo, fighting.

Listen well to your teacher.

Woo Joo.

Who is that?

My Aunt.

Why does your aunt come, and not your mom?

- Huh? - Woo Joo doesn't have a mom.

Have you done anything to help with that?

What do you mean? That's what my mom said.

That Woo Joo has no mom.

So what about it?

Why are you getting so angry?

What's wrong with not having a mom?

Oh, really.

[Mom]

Unni?

I want to make a request.

Let me introduce her to you.

She is Jeon Jin Kook's mother, he recently transferred to our school.

Hello, I'm happy to meet you. I'm Jin Kook's mother.

Please take good care of me.

We're happy to meet you.

And who are you?

She's my friend.

I had agreed to have tea with her after this meeting

and I asked her to join me because I wasn't sure when the meeting would end.

If it's not uncomfortable for anyone, can she sit here with us?

But it's still a meeting for mothers, so for someone who is completely uninvolved to be sitting with us,

it is a bit uncomfortable.

She's not completely uninvolved.

My friend gives private art lessons to Woo Joo.

Is that so?

Yes.

Woo Joo's father was supposed to come today, but he couldn't make it.

So how about we say that my friend is attending in his place?

My friend can bring the information about this meeting to him.

You can do that, right?

Of course, I'll do that.

Alright, then thank you.

Then the first item on the agenda is about the lunch for the children.

We'll begin with the quality test for the school lunches.

The last item on the agenda is, are there any mothers who can give their time to teach a lesson to the children?

Anyone?

I'll do it.

Sounds good. Seok Koon's mother is a doctor,

so I think the children will enjoy hearing about her work at the hospital.

Anyone else?

We need at least two volunteers.

No one volunteered from our class last time

so the teacher asked us to pay special attention this time.

Anyone else?

Does it have to be a mother?

If I can do it, I would like to try.

Can you do that?

After giving art lessons to Woo Joo

it seems that this age is the best time to get children interested in art.

So I wanted to offer my help.

I'm sure everyone would be grateful, but they don't want to impose on you.

Aren't you all busy, to be honest?

How difficult it would be to make time to teach a class?

Of course, I'm not sure that I have the extra time.

If you're busy, you don't have to exert yourself.

No,

I think I can be available for an hour, since I'm teaching a student in this class.

Of course, if you could, I'm sure everyone would be grateful.

And of course, with someone like me who has professional experience with teaching

wouldn't the quality of teaching be higher and the kids would enjoy it more?

Yes, I think an art lesson sounds great.

She is a very skilled techer.

I think that's a good idea.

- Everyone in agreement? - Yes, terrific.

Thank you.

Let's look at this.

What is this?

It's Pororo!

You are correct. I drew Pororo

but what did I use to draw him?

Me. You used paint.

Paint?

I'm not sure.

Yes, it's hard to tell. So, if you look here,

you will see that I used coffee that adults drink.

Wow, that's so cool!

Can you draw with something else?

You asked if I can use something else besides coffee to draw?

Alright, take a look here.

Let's look. Ta-da.

This is "Mona Lisa" drawn by a famous artist in Brazil.

This one was drawn with jelly.

How do you do that with jelly?

And this one... what did I use?

Me. Chocolate.

Chocolate? Very close?

Me. Is it peanut butter?

Peanut butter?

Peanut butter... is correct.

As you can see, the drawings feel so different based on what you used, doesn't it?

Yes.

Then shall we draw our own picture using what's in front of you?

Yes!

Ready, set, go.

Try putting a bit more color here.

Jin Kook, you're also doing very well.

- Teacher, thank you. - Teacher, thank you.

Thank you.

Teacher. - Yes?

I want to learn from you, too.

Can I ask my mom if I take lessons from you?

I'm sorry, but I don't have the time to teach any other students except Woo Joo.

- Really? - Yes.

I'm sorry.

My teacher was super popular today in class.

- And that makes you so happy? - Yeah.

Seok Koon brags all the time

that his mom is a doctor. But today, everyone was jealous of me.

On top of that, Hae Yeong said she wanted private lessons from my teacher

and she said she will only teach Woo Joo!

Isn't it nice for you to both learn from her?

No, Teacher said she will only teach Woo Joo.

Hello. We meet again.

Did you come to buy something?

I was thinking about beer, too.

Strangely, I thought about beer today, too.

Isn't this convenience store a bit far from your place, Eun Soo?

There is a convenience store near my place, but it's a bit noisy.

But this one, it's quiet and nice.

How fascinating.

What is?

We sure run into each other often.

Last time, we met by chance at the cherry blossom festival. And last time, at the supermarket.

And now today, for beer.

Yes, you're right.

Oh, I heard about it from Woo Joo.

That you taught a class at school, and she was so happy, saying she became more popular.

I'm the one who is grateful.

Thanks to Woo Joo, I got to experience something fun.

I'm feeling a bit ashamed now.

Why?

Seeing Woo Joo so happy, I felt a little sorry.

It made me feel like feeding her and dressing her was all that I had done for her.

What she likes and what she is interested in,

I'm wondering if I'm missing anything.

Well, that was a long prelude.

I was just wondering how to thank you.

I, then...

would you like to see a movie with me?

What?

The truth is, a movie that I'd been wanting to see so much was released again.

I bought two tickets to see it with a friend

but my friend had something scheduled right at that time.

I can't see movies by myself, you see.

I see...

If you're uncomfortable, feel free to say no.

No, well, I...

It's alright.

I can just not see the movie.

No, let's go see it.

When is it?

This is the man that Ji Eun Soo is seeing currently.

Yes, Department Manager Kim? I need to meet with Eun Soo.

Hello?

This is Ms. Ji Eun Soo, isn't it?

Yes, who is this?

The final resting place of Ji Dong Ri,

you requested for it to be moved to our special Royal section, didn't you?

I'm calling to confirm it for the last time.

No, I've never requested that.

What? They said they were family and paid for everything.

Who did that?

Someone named Kim Ho Ran.

You've come?

Come and look at this painting.

How does it look to you?

I like it because I feel like there's a hidden story behind it.

How shall I put it? That there is more than meets the eye?

It makes me feel continually curious.

Just like you.

I'm the one who is curious.

Why did you do that?

Ah, why?

You didn't like my small gift to you?

He was once the in-law of our D.O group, and his final resting place was so shabby.

By even disturbing my father

to call me here, what is your purpose?

I hear that you're dating?

Maybe something happened to your head after you lost your child?

Even just a few days ago, you were pointing a knife at me

screaming that we should go to hell together.

And now you're suddenly

playing lovey-dovey games with someone, huh?

Was that it?

I know, right?

Maybe that's why they say you never know, when it comes to life.

So you expect me to believe this?

Just what are you up to?

Why?

Did you think I would be in despair forever

and dry up?

What?

You're right, if I think about what you did,

I feel like all the blood in my body will flow backwards with rage.

If I only could, I want to tear you to shreds.

But I realized that isn't the best revenge I could have.

So?

After meeting such a good man,

it made me want to live a happy life, as if to say to you, "look at me."

So you dare to dream of happiness?

Yes.

After all, when a door closes,

another door opens.

To be honest, until I arrived here,

I wanted to tell you to please disappear from my life.

But no.

Please continue to watch over me like this.

See how much happier I will become.

Please keep watching.

Oh,

you asked me what I thought about that painting.

It looks very

childish

and silly to me.

- Let me take you home. - It's alright.

I ran out of beer, so I was on my way to the convenience store.

I wonder where she is.

You know that today's event for the new product is very important, right?

It's your first official meeting with your fans since you returned to Korea.

- If you keep being distracted and end up making a mistake— - I'm scared.

I'm scared that I really might never meet her.

I know how much you wanted to meet that woman, David.

But seeing how we can't find her no matter how much we look for her,

maybe it would be best to give up—

Hold on. Stop this car, please.

Taxi!

David! David!

David!

- Where did the woman who just got out of your car go to? - She went in that alley.

I'm sorry.

Please go home safely, I'm sorry.

I'm sorry.

[Se Mi]

The recipient is not answering your call—

The recipient is not answering your call—

He said he was looking for someone. So he was distracted.

And the reporters?

Fortunately, we canceled the event.

Business is all about image. If he harms our company's image like this ever again,

we will not tolerate it. Tell them that.

Yes, I understand.

And this is what I found out myself.

That he is someone who is meeting with Ji Eun Soo frequently,

that he was divorced three years ago, and that he is currently working at the Culture Desk at A Channel

were all true.

So Secretary Yoon's information was all true?

Yes.

Who is this girl?

She is that reporter's daughter.

He had a daughter?

Wait... why didn't Secretary Yoon tell me about this girl?

And one more thing.

As you said, this man

is Eun Se Mi's former husband.

- Seonbae? - Hmm?

We're going for some beer after work.

Let's go together.

What to do? I have plans.

What are you doing?

Going to see a movie.

With who?

A friend.

Culture Desk! An exclusive scoop!

Actress Ha Jin Ah and Director Kim Jeon Gyoon are dating.

Reporter Jeong, you contact Ha Jin Ah's agency.

Ji Min, you have a relationship with that director.

Confirm that this is true, and make sure to get an interview with him.

Go! Love is in the air. Go get 'em.

What to do? I will be late because of work.

If I can't make it before the movie begins, go on ahead and watch it.

I will go there as soon as I'm done with work.

Don't worry and take your time.

I'll look around until you arrive.

[Christmas in August] [Theater 7, open at 6:15 pm]

[Christmas in August] [Theater 7, open at 9:10 pm]

Shall I get this one?

Do you guys want this?

Yes!

Okay, pick one.

Thank you.

Take care.

Your skills are amazing.

Huh?

No, it was my first time.

I didn't know I had such a hidden talent.

This reminds me of that cherry blossom road.

It does.

Eun Soo, in your hair...

No, not there.

I got it.

Tonight was the last showing of that movie. I'm sorry you didn't get to see it.

It's alright.

You said you really wanted to see it.

It's the last movie that I saw with my dad.

The last movie?

Yes, he passed away.

I came to see the Chairwoman.

Yes, just a moment.

Why did Secretary Yoon only leave out the child's photos?

Chairwoman, Eun Se Mi is here.

Have her come in.

Have a seat.

Yes.

I'm very sorry about what happened today, Chairwoman.

I'm so sorry.

But we will make sure to reimburse you for any material loss you incurred today.

And if you want any additional events to be scheduled,

I will make sure that we attend properly.

Yes, let's do that.

Thank you.

You seem to be having a hard time.

Is it because of your ex-husband, by any chance?

How do you know about that?

I saw you with a man at the agreement signing ceremony.

He didn't seem like an ordinary acquaintance.

Yes, it's true.

He is my ex-husband.

Has something happened with him?

You ask me before, why must I restrain myself?

That if I miss someone, I should see that person.

So I tried to have courage when speaking with my ex-husband—

But he didn't accept you.

He did not.

But you two have a child. The child must miss her mom.

I thought so, but she ran away as soon as she saw me.

Oh dear. I guess she's upset about a lot of things.

But I raised her like my own for seven years.

She's not your biological daughter?

Yes, Woo Joo?

- Where are you, Dad? - Huh?

I'm taking your art teacher home.

Really? I used the method that Teacher taught me

and drew her face with peanut butter. I want to show it to her.

You did?

Next time. Tonight, it's too late.

I can't show her tonight?

Of course not. Teacher is tired.

No, I'm alright.

Woo Joo, Teacher wants to see the picture you drew.

Really?

Yes.

I'm sorry that you're inconvenienced by Woo Joo.

I think Woo Joo likes you so much, Teacher.

No, I really enjoy spending time with Woo Joo, too.

So I'd like it if you didn't say that you were sorry.

- Dad. - Woo Joo.

Where is it?

Look at this.

Woo Joo, is this me?

Yes.

You did such a great job.

I used the method you taught me.

It's so pretty.

How old is that child?

She's eleven now.

If she's eleven years old...

Yes, Mom?

What happened?

I met Eun Soo.

That's a relief.

Yes. I'm taking her home now.

You seem happy.

Eun Soo is returning, so maybe I should have a party for her.

Yes, Chairwoman.

But I think Ki Beom drank a bit, so please drive them home, Secretary Yoon.

[Line Officetel, Room 803]

I understand.

[Lie After Lie] [Preview]

I have trauma.

Eun Soo.

I was beaten by my ex-husband.

No matter how much I try to erase it, I keep having nightmares.

A knife wound heals, but a wound in the heart does not.

How much those nightmares hurt when they come...

I wanted to meet you, even like this.

Please give me one more chance, I beg you.

Do you have a new woman?

I am not going with Auntie, though.

I am going with Teacher.

This is where the art contest is?

- What is your name? - My name is Kang Woo Joo.

Woo Joo.

Find out when that child Kang Woo Joo was adopted.

Ji Eun Soo?

It's me, Yeon Joon.

You are Yeon Joon?

You must have one more question. The woman I must protect.

I think it'd be best not to talk about this.

Why are you letting that go?

Because I don't think you know how to protect her.

Just wait a little longer, Woo Joo. Let's live together, you and I.
