I told you to leave immediately. Why are you still standing there?
Father, please stop it.
How can you be so coldhearted to her?
You think I'm coldhearted?
Had Soo Ji not told us,
she would've kept on deceiving us.
They say that you must never let a stranger into your family.
You raised her with so much love and even gave up on getting remarried.
But she went to see her biological father. That's not all.
She plotted with her biological father and deceived you!
Father, please.
Mom. I'm sorry.
And Grandpa, I'm sorry.
But I didn't mean to lie to you all.
She's right, Grandpa.
It must've been hard for Mi Rae to tell us about him.
Why would it be so hard?
Had she told Mother that she wanted to meet her biological father,
Mother would've understood her, don't you think?
Soo Ji, must you be like this too?
Mother, I didn't want to step in and say harsh things either.
But this is an important issue that we must address...
because Mi Rae has been in contact with her biological father...
behind our backs all along.
Am I right, honey?
What? I mean... Why would you ask me that?
Soo Ji, I told you that Mi Rae's father wasn't a bad person.
Mother, you're so naive. How would you know what he is really like?
Think about his past. We don't know what intentions he had...
when he approached our family.
Wouldn't you agree, Grandfather?
Soo Ji has a point.
He must've known that Mi Rae was adopted...
into the Hwang Dong Food family.
I'm sure he showed up in front of Mi Rae...
to extort money from our family using Mi Rae as an excuse.
Soo Ji.
Stop saying such things, will you?
Goodness. Stop it, Soo Ji.
What? Did I say anything wrong?
Don't worry.
I won't ever see my father again.
Mi Rae, what do you mean by that?
Mom.
I've already made my decision.
Grandpa.
I'll make sure my father won't cause our family any trouble.
So don't worry about it.
Doo Ho.
- Kang San, are you just getting back? - Yes.
I heard that Ms. Ok's family found out about you.
Are you all right?
I think I should go check in on Haeng Bok.
Wait, Doo Ho.
If you go there, Ms. Ok would be in a difficult position.
Then Kang San, can you call Haeng Bok...
to see if she's okay?
I'm worried if her family is giving her a hard time because of me.
I tried calling her many times.
But she didn't pick up.
Ms. Ok.
- You're early. - Yes.
Actually, Ms. Dong told me...
that your family found out about Doo Ho.
Right.
Your phone was switched off,
and Doo Ho was so worried about you.
Hearing about the predicament my dad was in back then from you...
helped me understand him a little bit.
But I don't think I should see him anymore.
I guess...
you made up your mind as you said.
Anyway, I appreciate your concern.
That's okay.
Geum Kang San.
Did you know as well?
I'm asking you if you knew about her biological father.
Yes, sir.
How dare you?
You didn't tell me about him while knowing that?
I'm sorry that I couldn't tell you, sir.
If you're really sorry,
how could you talk about that man first thing in the morning?
Did you plot with that loser who's her biological father or something?
Sir, Ms. Ok's biological father...
is not the kind of person you think he is.
Shut your mouth right now!
- Father. - Oh, goodness.
Father, what's wrong?
Kang San said...
that he had known everything about Mi Rae's biological father.
Mr. Geum, did you know about him too?
Yes, I did.
I heard that he was your tenant.
You two plotted together just as I thought.
Soo Ji, that's enough.
Grandpa, Mr. Geum didn't do anything wrong.
He happened to find out about me and my biological father.
He was just worried about me.
Maybe he wasn't just worried about you.
He might have plotted with your father to use you...
to extort money from our family. You don't know that.
Soo Ji, stop it right now.
I'm sorry to bother you, but you have a visitor.
Who came here so early in the morning?
What?
My gosh. The baker...
I mean, Mi Rae's biological father is here.
What did you say? Mi Rae's biological father is here?
Well... What should I do, Grandfather?
Should I call someone to kick him out of here?
How dare you set foot in this house?
You must know about my family.
Such a terrible person like you is not welcome here.
I'm sorry.
I was so worried about my daughter that I couldn't hold back...
and came here so early in the morning while knowing it would inconvenience you.
"Your daughter?"
How dare you call her your daughter?
You must be trying to extort money from us...
because Mi Rae is your biological child.
But don't even think of messing with us.
That's never my intention, sir.
Then...
why did you show up after all these years when you were out of touch with Mi Rae...
for over 20 years after you abandoned her?
Explain the reason to me.
Unless you were planning to use Mi Rae to steal our family fortune,
why would you have been seeing her behind our backs?
The same goes for you, Mi Rae.
You must've kept it from us...
because you were all in on this.
Grandpa.
My goodness.
Seeing that he can't say anything, I guess it's true.
I'm sorry. I knew I didn't deserve to be a father,
but I wanted to see Haeng Bok... I mean, I wanted to see Ms. Ok.
I hovered around her just to see her without thinking much.
Ms. Ok had no idea who I was.
Then what are you going to do now?
I promise I will never show up in front of Ms. Ok.
It's all my fault.
So please don't blame her. I implore you, sir.
Then you should leave now.
Yes. Goodbye.
- Doo Ho. - My gosh. Why would he...
Doo Ho.
Why did you come out? What if you get on the wrong side of him?
Are you really going to leave like this?
Why did you come here?
Why did you come here and get humiliated like that?
Why did you let me see that and make me feel more miserable?
I'm sorry, Haeng Bok.
Don't call me by that name.
I'm not Haeng Bok.
My name is Ok Mi Rae.
As I have until now,
I'll keep living as Ok Mi Rae.
Of course, Ms. Ok.
Of course, you should do so.
If you understand that, never come back here.
Ms. Ok.
Let's drop it now, Kang San.
Doo Ho.
Are you all right?
Doo Ho.
(Hwang Dong Food)
I haven't visited him in a while because of Ju Hyuk.
Is Chairman Hwang doing well?
Well... The thing is...
Mi Rae's biological father showed up, which stirred up a commotion at my house.
What? Mi Rae's biological father?
Is that true, Jae Hyun?
Yes. That alone is shocking enough, but that's not all.
It's unbelievable.
That man...
is an ex-convict.
An ex-convict?
Yes. What's more shocking is...
that the baker who works at Ms. Dong's bakery...
is the same ex-convict.
What?
The baker at Kyu Sun's bakery?
And he even has a criminal record?
Yes.
Ju Hyuk, didn't you tell your father about him?
Oh, my. Doo Ho.
Do you know how worried I was?
By the way, what's with that bag?
I...
am leaving now, Kyu Sun.
Right now?
Yes. So I'm here to say goodbye to you.
Doo Ho.
You trusted such a bad person like me...
and cared about me. Thank you for that, Kyu Sun.
I hope you'll become happy.
No. Don't go.
I don't think I can live without you.
No. I can't let you go.
I'm sorry, Kyu Sun.
For Ms. Ok... I mean, for my daughter Haeng Bok,
I have no choice but to leave. I must leave no matter what.
I shouldn't have...
blabbered about you being Mi Rae's biological father.
It's not your fault.
It's my fault. I should've left sooner.
Anyway, you should forget about me...
and stay healthy...
Take care.
Doo Ho. Wait.
Doo Ho.
My gosh. It's so hot.
How am I going to spend the summer in this room...
that has no air conditioning?
Wait. Where did I put my fan?
What's this?
What?
Did Mr. Kim come in while I was gone?
Did he try to copy me...
and write a love letter to Kyu Sun or something?
(To Ms. Ok)
"To Ms. Ok?"
Hold on. Ms. Ok is Jan Di's art teacher.
Why did Mr. Kim...
write a letter to Jan Di's teacher, not to Kyu Sun?
No way.
He's not trying to overcome such a large age gap, is he?
Even I, Geum Sun Dal, wouldn't even think of trying that.
"Dear Ms. Ok."
What is he saying?
- Doo Ho. - What? You startled me.
Father, have you seen Doo Ho?
How can you ask for him first?
Don't you see me?
Come on.
What's this letter?
It seems that Mr. Kim wrote it to Ms. Ok.
He said he was leaving because he felt bad that he was Ms. Ok's father.
What does that mean?
What did you say?
Kang San, is Mr. Kim really Ms. Ok's father? Is he?
Go ahead.
Hello? Doo Ho.
Doo Ho, where are you now? And what's with this letter?
Kang San.
I'm sorry, but please...
give that letter to Ms. Ok.
Let's talk in person.
Tell me where you are, and I'll come to you.
That's okay.
Thank you for everything.
Give my goodbye to your family as well.
Doo Ho.
Doo Ho. Hello?
Ho Rang. Ho Sik.
- Hi, Kang San. - Hi. You're here.
Hi. Is Ms. Ok in there?
Yes.
But why are you looking for Ms. Ok again?
Not now. Let's talk later, Ho Rang.
But...
(Horang Art Academy)
Ms. Ok.
Mr. Geum, is everything okay?
Jan Di hasn't come here yet.
Your...
father...
left.
What do you mean he left?
What is this?
He wrote this letter to you before leaving.
I don't want to read it.
Read it.
You should know how he felt when he made that decision.
No. I don't need to.
If you don't go see him now,
You might be parted from your father forever, Ms. Ok.
You might not be able to see him again.
Ms. Ok.
Anyway, I have no intention of seeing my father again.
What?
I already told you...
that I never had a father.
Just because he left again,
that doesn't mean it'll change anything.
Are you sure...
you won't regret this?
Yes, I'm sure. I won't regret this.
You pushed him away so heartlessly.
Are you really sure you won't regret it?
I have a class to teach.
Wait, Ms. Ok.
Hey, Kang San. Is something going on between you and Ms. Ok?
My gosh.
That's so shocking.
I can't believe Mr. Kim is Mi Rae's biological father.
Oh, my. Exactly.
I thought Ms. Ok was born in that rich family.
I had no idea there was such a sad story about her life.
I'm shocked. I couldn't even imagine that.
My goodness. I was so surprised to know that too.
But I don't understand Mr. Kim. If his daughter...
was adopted into a rich family,
he should've stayed and latched onto her.
Why did he leave?
He had a chance to change his life completely.
Right, Kang San?
Goodness, you. Mr. Geum.
He left for the sake of his daughter. Can't you see?
Oh, dear. I feel so bad for Mr. Kim when I think about that.
I already miss Mr. Kim.
I know. Right?
Since such a muscular man like him stayed in that room,
I felt so safe.
They say one's absence can teach you what one's presence cannot.
I'm a little sad too.
Oh, dear.
I'm worried about Ms. Ok and Mr. Kim.
Aren't you worried, Dad?
- Dad. - Yes?
Right. Yes.
Kang San.
What are you pondering on?
I'll step out briefly.
What? Where are you going at such a late hour?
I'll tell you when I'm back.
- Wait, Kang San. - Dad.
- But... - What's going on?
I wonder what's going on...
to make him storm out like that.
Exactly.
He left for work so early this morning too.
Is something going on with him?
(To Ms. Ok)
If you don't go see him now,
You might be parted from your father forever, Ms. Ok.
You might not be able to see him again.
(Dear Ms. Ok.)
Whenever I ran into you,
I saw...
your cheery, kind smile,
- and I hoped my daughter Haeng Bok... - This is so good.
- had grown up... - It's soft and tasty.
- to be someone like you. - Right?
- It's good, isn't it? - Yes.
When I found out that you were my daughter,
I was surprised and overwhelmed with joy at the same time.
I hope that Mr. Kim will find his loving daughter soon,
meet her again, and become happy with her around.
(Hong Do's Side Dishes)
- Happy birthday. - I wish you a happy birthday too.
I thought that I didn't deserve to be a father...
because I was incompetent.
That's why I left you.
But while seeing how well Kang San raised his daughter...
all by himself,
I realized I had been wrong and regretted bitterly.
The sky is so clear.
And the breeze is so refreshing.
Right?
Yes, you're right.
I'm only ashamed of myself...
and resent myself for abandoning my own child.
I'll always pray for you...
and atone for my sin for the rest of my life.
I'm sorry.
I'm sincerely sorry.
Where's Mi Rae? Won't she come down?
Mi Rae hasn't come out of her room since she came home.
She must be determined to cut ties with her biological father.
Just leave her be. Don't stir up emotions in her.
She must be really upset right now.
I'm worried if she might fall ill.
Father.
Can you please allow her to meet her biological father?
I already said so many times that was unacceptable.
Mi Rae.
Grandpa, I'll step out briefly.
Mi Rae, what's that in your hand?
Right, Mi Rae. What's that?
It's the letter my dad left to me.
The ex-convict left you a letter?
Mi Rae, are you going out to see him?
My dad left.
If I don't stop him now,
I might be parted from him forever.
- I'm sorry. - What? That brat...
Father.
She met her biological father again after 20 years.
She's right, Grandpa.
Hello, Sister. It's me, Mi Rae.
Mr. Kim Doo Ho... No, I mean...
Have you heard from my dad, by any chance?
What?
Ms. Ok.
Mr. Geum.
Where's my dad?
I came here to find him too.
The abbess said he might be here.
Has my dad...
left already?
Just as you said,
I should've stopped him when you came to me.
I was foolish.
It's okay, Ms. Ok.
It's not too late.
What?
I...
was going to let you go.
But I couldn't. So I came here.
So...
Please don't leave.
I will leave after praying.
If I stay around you,
I would only cause you trouble.
Are you leaving anyway?
Are you going to abandon me once again?
Are you really going to abandon me twice?
Dad.
Please don't go.
Not this time.
Dad.
Doo Ho came back.
Doo Ho came back?
How could you hire someone like him?
- I'll fire him tomorrow, and that's that. - Kyu Chul.
It was you just as I thought.
When I heard your resonant voice,
I thought it might be you.
Have a good day.
I love you, my dear customer.
My gosh. What did you just say?
Kang San has feelings for Ms. Ok...
Here. Put it on now.
Well... Mr. Geum.
