(Final Episode)
Where's Ha Neul?
He's not home.
He's not home? Where did he go so early in the morning?
Take a look at this.
I think he went to meet his mother.
What?
(Repair)
Welcome.
Ha Neul.
How... How did you find this place?
Take a seat.
I know it's not very spacious here, but still.
Should I go and buy you a drink?
No.
Just sit down.
Oh, okay.
How do you have all this?
Why did you do this?
- What do you mean? - If you got my letters and cards,
you could've written back.
Why did you just keep them with you instead of sending them to me?
Do you know how much I waited for you to write back?
Ha Neul.
Tell me why you didn't send them to me.
Why did you just keep those letters?
I felt sorry and embarrassed.
I couldn't bring myself to do anything.
So I ripped these letters and threw them away.
Then why did you tape them back...
and send them to me?
So you could use this as an excuse to tell me how much you missed me?
Did you think I'd get touched by this?
I hated and resented you.
I promised myself...
that I was never going to see you again.
I know that I made you angry.
I know how that you resented me a lot.
What I did to you is unforgivable.
After I gave birth to you,
I never once did my part as your mother.
Instead, I just used you...
for my success.
Don't ever come here again.
Just forget about me and be happy.
I hope that you will become a great adult one day.
I don't expect you to forgive me.
So just forget about everything. Okay?
I won't force myself to forgive you.
My mom told me...
to do what my heart wants.
I'll be off now.
Okay, bye.
And don't ever come back here.
Your only mother...
is the mother you're living with.
I can't forgive you just yet,
but I'll still try.
I'll try not to hate you.
I'll try to understand you.
Don't be sick.
Ha Neul.
(Donghae Clothing Repair)
Ha Neul.
Mom. Dad.
How did you think of coming here? How did you know the address?
I got the letters that Mom had written to me in prison.
The address was written there.
You should've told me.
Then we would've come here together.
Did you talk to your mother?
Yes, I told her how I felt.
Good job, Ha Neul. It must've been tough for you.
Yeon Hee.
You should take a walk with Ha Neul.
- I'm going to go talk to her. - Okay.
Let's go, Ha Neul.
Get up.
Jae Kyung.
So these are the letters that Ha Neul read.
I think my mom sent them to him.
I'm sorry. I really am.
I'll make sure this doesn't happen again.
Yu Na.
I told Ha Neul...
not to forgive me.
I told him that he should just forget that I exist.
Why do you think...
Ha Neul came here?
It's because...
he wanted to forgive you.
That's why he got on a bus early at dawn.
No.
I have no right.
I don't have the right to be forgiven by anyone.
Especially Ha Neul.
Deep down inside,
he's already forgiven you.
Don't you get that?
I felt heartbroken after I read my mom's letters.
On my way here,
my hatred and resentment for her slowly disappeared.
But I couldn't bring myself to tell her that I had forgiven her.
I just told her that I'll try not to hate her...
and that I'll try to understand her.
Good.
You did great.
I'm sure your mother knew how you felt.
Mom.
I have a question, Mom.
You have a question?
I'm not your biological son.
But you always loved me no matter what.
Wasn't it hard for you?
I'd be lying if I said it wasn't hard.
What was the hardest thing you had to do as you raised me?
When I had to scold you for doing something wrong.
I was worried that you might get the wrong idea...
and think I was being hard on you because you weren't...
my biological son.
I liked it.
I liked that how you scolded and punished me.
It showed me how much you cared for me and loved me.
This is nice.
Thanks to you, I got a chance to come to the sea...
and talk to you a little.
Why don't we take a walk?
How did you end up living here? This place is completely new to you.
This is the hometown of a cellmate I met in prison.
She got released before me and opened up a repair shop.
Then she handed it over to me.
I see.
I wanted to hide at a place where no one knew me.
You don't need to do that anymore.
You already got your punishment.
No.
I still can't forgive myself.
A few years isn't enough...
to wash away all the horrible things I've done in the past.
I don't think it's necessary to think that way.
Yeon Hee, Ha Neul, and I have all forgiven you already.
I told you...
that I don't deserve to be forgiven.
Your life became a mess...
after you met me.
I'm so sorry.
It's fine. It's all in the past now.
I'm relieved that you've finally decided...
to let go of your greed.
Why was I so full of greed?
Why was I so desperate?
If I think back,
I was never happy during those times.
It's not too late to start over.
You just need to start over, Yu Na.
I'm so grateful...
that you and Yeon Hee are Ha Neul's parents.
I will thank you even after I die.
Thanks, Yu Na.
There's one more person I need to apologize to.
Mr. Hwang Cheol Oh.
Thank you so much for accepting our decision.
After what Kang Yu Na did, our brand image was ruined.
But you two helped the company rebuild its reputation.
I really wanted you to stay,
but you're leaving to achieve your dream.
So I have no choice but to let you go.
If it weren't for your support for the past six years,
we wouldn't even have made it this far.
Thank you so much.
I sincerely wish that your business, D and H,
becomes a huge success.
Thank you for saying that.
We'll be off now.
Although I was lacking in many ways,
you guys are the reason...
that I was able to become the director at Lara Fashion.
Thank you so much.
Ms. Do.
I had a lot of fun working with you guys.
It was an honor working with you.
I hope you're always healthy and happy.
Okay, thanks.
Thank you for your hard work, Director Han.
Thank you too, Director Do.
Shall we go now?
Woo Joo really said that?
Don't even get me started.
The three of us cried our eyes out that night.
He told me that he was grateful...
that I was his mother...
because I stayed by his side and protected him until the end...
unlike his birth mother.
You have no idea how touched I was.
I was so happy.
Woo Joo is a very thoughtful and considerate kid.
Now that Ha Neul also has opened up about his feelings,
we have nothing more to worry about when it comes to our kids.
What are you talking about? This is just the beginning.
Raising children is the most challenging task for parents.
Let's do our best to raise them into great adults.
Yes, you're right. we may have adopted them,
but let's do our best...
to raise them well.
- Enjoy your meal. - Here you go.
Eat up.
Okay. Here you go.
Enjoy your meal.
- Here. - You can eat more if you want.
How many sausages do you want?
Two? Here you go.
- Enjoy your meal. - Thank you.
- No problem. - Go on.
Enjoy.
Here. Have two.
Here you go.
Once again, you donated the entire profit...
to facilities for single mothers...
and single-parent families.
You're really amazing.
It's nothing.
This is what you call noblesse oblige.
Right.
I heard Ms. Do Yeon Hee started Lara Foundation...
by donating all her stocks.
Do you know where she is right now?
Oh, she's that person over there who's unbelievably generous.
- It's her. - I see.
Director Ko, thank you for the interview.
Bye.
Well, that was short.
Enjoy your food, kids.
Here you go.
- Thank you. - Thank you.
- Enjoy. - Thank you.
Hello, I'm Lee Sang Su, a reporter from Jeongmin Daily.
Is it okay if I interview you today?
I'm sorry, but I'm distributing food to the kids.
If you want an interview,
you can ask Director Ko Sang Hye over there.
I'd rather not.
I already interviewed her.
There's something I really want to ask you.
- Reporter Lee. - Yes?
I'm sorry.
Eat up.
- Thank you. - No problem.
Eat up.
- Thank you. - Sure.
Here you go.
- Thank you. - Thank you.
I'm really not up for an interview.
Okay, I won't ask for an interview.
Instead, can I ask you just one question?
Sure. But just one.
Sharing what you have with others...
can be both easy and difficult at the same time.
What do you think is essential when it comes to sharing?
Your heart.
In order to share with someone,
you might think you need to be rich.
But you don't need to worry about that.
- Let's go. - Ha Neul!
Woo Joo!
That's my son and his friend.
They come to the orphanage every weekend...
to teach kids how to play soccer.
They're able to have fun...
and teach the kids at the same time.
If you're willing to share, you can spare time.
There are many different ways...
to help those in need.
I need to go now. It's time to bathe the kids.
Okay.
Okay, let's go!
To the right!
(My Love, Jun Hui)
Let's meet right now.
Mr. Choi.
Did you really break up with Ms. Jang?
Yes, we've broken up.
Really? Why?
You guys were a great couple.
We've decided to end it for good,
so please don't mention her again.
- Okay? - Says who?
What are you doing here?
- Let's get married. - What... What did you say?
I'm not sure if I'll be a good wife, a good daughter-in-law,
or a good mother.
But I'll give it a try.
I'll try to make it work.
I'll live with your parents.
I'll have kids.
And I'll continue to work hard.
I was jobless for 35 years and a workaholic for 5 years.
But now I want to live the rest of my life with you...
and see what life has in store for the both of us.
Jun Hui, what's with you all of a sudden?
Because I love you.
I can't live without you, Han Gyeol.
I'm going to trust you and take a leap of faith.
Jun Hui.
So will you marry me?
Will you please marry me?
Kiss her!
- Kiss her! - Kiss her!
Kiss...
- Congratulations! - Congratulations!
Gosh, I just got goosebumps.
Let's wait here for your dad.
Who is that?
Is that your dad?
I think that's your dad.
Goodness.
Daddy.
Hi, Da Som.
Oh, it's you.
Where's my dad?
Your dad's busy today, so I came instead.
This is a gift for you, Da Som.
It's a bicycle.
What's going on?
What are you doing here?
- I'm filling in. - You're filling in?
I want to ride the bicycle.
Do you want to ride the bicycle?
Here you go.
I'll explain later.
My princess, shall we go for a ride?
Yes.
Say goodbye to your mommy. Let's go.
Hyung Jin, what's going on?
I'm sorry.
I forgot that I had a conference outside the city today.
I had promised Da Som that we'd go on a picnic,
so I didn't want to disappoint her by canceling it.
So I asked Mr. Yoon to do me a favor.
You didn't have to come if you were too busy.
You didn't have to ask him to fill in for you.
Seo Woo, I need to go now.
- Have fun. - Okay.
I hope you become happy, Seo Woo.
I mean it.
There's your mommy. Hello.
Move aside.
Please make way for Da Som.
Let's go, Da Som.
Gosh, it's really fast.
Look over there. Please move out of the way.
- Is it fun? - Yes.
Da Som.
If he was your kid, I wouldn't have let you go.
If he was actually your son,
I would've done everything I could...
to keep you from leaving me.
(Hwang Cheol Oh)
Mr. Hwang.
I'm the reason you're dead.
I'm sorry.
(Hwang Cheol Oh)
You told me that we'll meet in the fiery pit.
I won't ever forget that.
I'll live the rest of my life atoning for my sins.
I won't ever become happy.
You want to leave? Where?
Wherever.
To a place where no one can find us.
What's gotten into you?
We just started settling in.
Why do you suddenly want to leave?
You should think about your son.
San's father knows where I work.
He even saw San.
What?
I told him that San wasn't his son,
but we can't hide it forever.
So you want to run away from San's father?
Think about it carefully.
I know you feel ashamed to face him,
but he's still San's father.
You need to do what's best for San.
I'll take good care of San.
No matter where we live,
I'll raise him well, so don't worry.
Yu Na.
That's the only way I can atone for my sins.
Living at a place where no one can ever find us.
That's the only thing I can do...
to get punished for what I did to him.
(Up for rent)
Nice job.
- San. - Yes?
Today's the last day at the beach.
The last day?
We're going to leave.
We're going to leave to a place where no one can find us.
Like hide-and-seek?
Yes, like hide-and-seek.
Let's go.
- Your grandma's probably waiting. - Okay.
Let's go.
Yu Na!
Do you know this is where it all started?
I thought it all started at the fish market.
You accused an innocent person for sexual harassment.
For me, it was here.
When I was going through the most difficult times in my life,
you told me...
that I should...
punch that punching bag and cry all I want.
This was also where...
we had a party after I got a divorce.
And we also came here to share...
both our sadness and happiness.
Also, this rooftop was where I proposed to you...
the second time around.
I didn't know we shared so many memories...
up on this rooftop.
You really didn't know?
I'm kidding. Of course, I knew.
- Thank you, Yeon Hee. - For what?
I feel like I was a bit selfish...
for thinking that you'd be okay with adopting Ha Neul.
You could've thought differently.
What are you talking about?
I also thought it was the right thing to do.
That's my point. It was a difficult thing to do,
but you just made it so easy.
Not everyone would've been able to do that.
Are there wings on my back?
It wasn't because I was a special person.
I loved you,
and that made me love Ha Neul too.
I couldn't separate the two of you.
That's why I'm so grateful.
Not only do you love us both, but you also try so hard...
to understand and care for us.
You guys also give me a lot of love.
There's no need to thank me.
Let's cry, laugh,
and grow old together here.
What are you guys doing?
You came up here to get ready for the party,
but you're busy showing each other affection.
I didn't see anything.
We're done preparing. We were waiting for you guys.
Mother, come this way.
- Let's go. - Let's go.
But what's all this?
- Is this for my birthday? - That's right, Grandma.
Just a second.
Here.
- Happy birthday to you - Happy birthday to you
- Happy birthday, dear Ms. Seo - Happy birthday, dear Grandma
- Happy birthday to you - Happy birthday to you
I hope you're healthy for a long time.
- Mother, blow out the candle. - Okay.
I want to blow out the candle too.
- Okay. - Yes, let's blow it out together.
- Blow it out with your grandma. - Let's do it together.
In 1, 2, 3.
- Happy birthday! - Happy birthday!
- Goodness, thank you.
Thanks, you guys.
But this party shouldn't be just for me.
It should be for all of us.
You guys are all healthy,
and you're all living here like family.
It's the best thing we could ask for.
- You're right, Ms. Seo. - Yes, I agree.
- Congratulations. - Congratulations.
- Thank you. - Congratulations.
Thank you.
Everyone, raise your glass.
Let's make a toast.
Happy birthday to Ms. Seo, who's like a mother...
and grandmother to all of us!
And let's hope we continue...
to love each other and be happy!
- Cheers! - Cheers!
