(All people, incidents, and backgrounds...)
(in this drama are fictitious and unrelated to reality.)
(Also, children were filmed under production guidelines.)
Back then, Mr. Hwang was just a young boy who was my age,
but he was really clever and nice.
He was like that.
Jin Goo was always brave while fighting his illness.
That ten-year-old kid went through the surgery bravely.
But I felt so bad whenever I thought of the chairwoman.
What? Why?
What do you mean? Because she lost you.
Back then?
The water is boiling.
But she said...
she lost me when I was seven.
Auntie Ha Na, is Yali here?
No, she's not here.
She's not in the master bedroom, either.
She must be hiding in some corner.
I want to play with Yali.
Do you want to find her with me? Okay.
Where are you, Yali? Come and have a treat.
It's such a wonder.
She's not in her usual hiding places.
She didn't go outside, did she?
No, she's still home.
Could she be in the utility room?
Yali!
Goodness. Ms. Goo, can you go...
to Jin Goo's room and look under his bed?
- Right. Okay. - Okay.
Let's not think about that.
Yali.
Yali?
I don't think she's here, either.
Hey.
- That's... - You're right. It's that camcorder.
I took it out to show you when you got here.
Gosh, I can't believe I get to see this again.
I was reunited with this after 20 years.
Let me show you the footage I took...
- at the hospital back then. - Okay.
Gosh, why do I feel nervous?
Am I about to see my darkest history?
Everyone has a dark history.
Take a look.
There's young Goo Ha Na, the ten-year-old with bobbed hair.
All right. Look here.
Stop it.
Say something to Hwang Jin Goo.
Stop filming me.
- Come on. - Stop filming me.
I looked so embarrassed.
- Say something. - Well, I looked shabby back then.
- No, you look pretty. - Stop filming me.
You did that on purpose.
Why don't we stop here?
No, it's all right.
You helped me back then...
by using all those difficult words.
Do you remember that?
Of course.
I thought you were very smart and brave,
although you seemed to be around my age.
I was grateful, found it odd, and got a little jealous, too.
I must've been cool since then.
You were also pretty back then, Ms. Goo.
Especially when you smiled.
I was?
I spent more days crying than smiling.
But you smiled a lot at me.
Goodness.
What? What's going on?
What's wrong?
My goodness! Did you touch this? My gosh.
- Eun Chong. - My goodness.
- What do I do? - Oh, no!
- Are you in a lot of pain? - Wait.
- Get something. - We need ice.
- Ice. - Goodness. Right here.
- My gosh. - Stand here.
My gosh. It must've hurt a lot. This is bad.
Oh, no.
Here's ice.
Was it the hot cocoa?
He spilled the hot cocoa while trying to find Yali.
He needs to go to the emergency room.
Yes. Hurry up, Jin Goo.
- Eun Chong. - Eun Chong, let's go.
Goodness, this is bad.
What do we do?
My gosh. What do we do now?
How's the adoption process going?
They'll come for a visit this week.
I'll relay additional information to Ms. Goo.
All right. Make sure you prepare everything.
Is there something you want to say?
I was a little worried.
Once she adopts him,
it's a good thing for Eun Chong that he has a mom now.
Once Eun Chong comes of age and begins the succession process,
Ms. Goo's presence may become a hindrance...
between you and him.
I thought about that, too.
I should do something for her in return...
for raising my grandson.
If Ms. Goo found out she was a fake daughter,
she might end up taking the parental right...
and custody over Eun Chong.
Would she betray me if she found out...
she wasn't Yu Jin?
You should be ready for the worst-case scenario.
But Eun Chong desperately wanted to be adopted.
- Please get it ready for now. - Yes, ma'am.
- You're here, Jin Goo. - Yes.
Ms. Jang would've gone to pick you up. You're back already?
Is he asleep?
What happened to his hand? Was he hurt?
He spilled hot cocoa and got scalded.
How bad was it?
It was a first-degree burn. Thankfully, it wasn't serious.
How could you use the word thankful after a kid got hurt?
Why weren't you paying attention?
If you went out with a kid, you should've kept your eyes on him!
Ms. Chairwoman.
Yes, right.
I was too worked up.
It wasn't Yu Jin's fault.
He spilled hot cocoa trying to find Yali.
What is it, Yeo Jin?
My gosh! What happened to his hand?
Lay him down in the room.
Here.
It must sting, burn, and feel painful.
It's all my fault.
Don't be so hard on yourself.
Kids can get hurt instantly.
Exactly. I already knew he could get hurt if I looked away.
All mothers blame themselves when their kids get hurt,
but don't do that.
He got hurt while playing at my place,
- so I felt even sorrier. - It's all right.
You shouldn't mind what the chairwoman said.
She must've been that concerned about Eun Chong.
It must've hurt so much to burn his flesh.
Even adults have a hard time dealing with pain from scalding.
My gosh. What if that leaves a scar, Yeo Jin?
There were enough adults at their place.
Why weren't they paying attention to one kid?
How sad. Your dear grandson got hurt.
You'll want to sit next to him right now.
It must be tough to hold yourself back.
Was he badly scalded?
Where are you going?
Didn't I tell you? I'm meeting my friends.
They told me to treat them before the wedding.
Do I have to go?
I'll save you until next time.
All right.
Did the meeting go well last night?
Yes, of course. I think things will work out.
Ms. Yoon didn't come.
I'm glad.
Don't worry. He'll get better soon.
Yes.
Right. Please relay my suggestion...
to that marketing team leader from New York.
What do you mean?
I heard the marketing team leader from New York was in Seoul,
so I said it might be a good idea to schedule a tour.
That sounds great.
You two both work for the hotel, so it'll be a win-win situation.
I'll ask when I get to work.
- I'm leaving. - I'll go with you.
- Goodbye, then. - Bye.
Goodbye.
I guess he doesn't know anything.
Right. You should go first, Jin Goo.
Should I tag along?
It's been a while since I met your friends.
- It'll be a surprise. - Do you want to do that?
Wait, I'm sorry.
We're doing something like a bridal shower.
- Where are you guys meeting? - That's a secret.
I'll call you after.
What are you thinking, Jin Goo?
She must've been with her friends.
And yesterday, something urgent must've come up before the meeting.
(Head Director's Office)
What could her weakness be?
Well, she seems weird.
She's in such peace even after betraying Jin Goo.
All she ever does is play with that kid.
He must be a lucky kid.
He gets so much love from my aunt...
just because he's Yu Jin's friend's son.
It's not just Ha Na. I now have that kid as my superior.
At times, it feels like he has the most power at my place.
Chairwoman Shin adores Eun Chong?
But her fake daughter brought that kid home.
Eun Chong is Du Na's son.
And Du Na was a friend she met at the children's home.
Hwang Jin Goo went to St. Paul's Home two days in a row?
Yes, according to Zero,
his car navigator was set to that address.
Yesterday, Chairwoman Shin must've gone there with him.
Yes, I'm sure she's looking for her daughter.
Du Na was from that children's home, too.
What if she used a different name that wasn't Yoon Yu Jin?
Wait,
is Du Na...
actually Yoon Yu Jin?
Danny, where are you?
You said there were no articles that included photos...
among the ones you found.
No, the photos were all taken down.
Can you look up articles in the actual newspaper...
or the missing child flyer?
Do you want to confirm her looks?
I have a feeling...
Eun Chong is Chairwoman Shin's grandson.
The boy your sister raises, her friend's son?
Yes, his mother is someone named Lee Du Na...
from the children's home.
She disappeared when she was ten, and she has lost her memories.
That's the same age as the initial report on her disappearance.
She must've gone to the children's home after receiving the delivery...
because of Lee Du Na.
If Eun Chong turns out to be her grandson...
Your sister comes into the picture to protect her grandson.
I'm seeing the plot here.
I need to confirm if Lee Du Na is...
really Yoon Yu Jin.
It must hurt.
I'm sorry, Eun Chong.
No, I'm sorry. I should've been careful.
I wish I could suffer in your place.
Don't scratch it no matter how itchy it gets.
Okay.
Ms. Bang Ul must be worried, too.
I called her and said you were fine.
Grandma, when will I get adopted?
The agency will check our situation at home this week.
All right!
- Ms. Jang told you, right? - Yes.
Right. Mom.
You lost me when I was seven, right?
Yes, why do you ask?
Did you hear something?
Mr. Hwang got his heart surgery when he was ten years old,
and I heard you had a tough time after losing me back then.
- Did Ms. Sim tell you that? - Yes.
I did have a tough time back then.
I kept getting calls about girls who looked like you,
but they weren't you.
I see.
Eun Chong should take a break from kindergarten until he's better.
Then, who will I stay home with?
Auntie Ha Na will have to go to work.
You can stay with me.
Okay!
Did Ha Na call you?
She said he was fine,
but he must've been in so much shock.
It must hurt a lot, too.
That was such an unexpected situation.
It could've been much worse.
That's true.
Wait, I'm sorry.
We're doing something like a bridal shower.
- Where are you guys meeting? - That's a secret.
I'll call you after.
I'm sorry.
The canceled meeting got rescheduled. I have to go.
At this hour?
The marketing team leader in New York is on a big power trip.
I must have a knack for lying.
It's so easy to make up a lie before I come to meet you.
What's on your mind?
- Mr. Goo Ji Seok. - Yes?
You're thinking about something else while sitting here with me?
So, Hwang Jin Goo still hasn't caught on?
Was he not suspicious when you said you'd meet friends on a weekend?
Things are hectic at home because that kid got hurt.
- Eun Chong got hurt? - Yes.
He went to Jin Goo's place to see the cat and burned himself.
Chairwoman Shin must've flipped out.
How did you know?
You were jealous of Eun Chong...
and said she adored him more than her daughter.
You're right.
Even today, she got furious at Ha Na because that kid got hurt.
I almost felt bad for Ha Na.
Was Eun Chong her grandson just as I speculated?
When you heard Ha Na was Yoon Yu Jin,
did you think she looked like what she did as a child?
- Not at all. - What about now?
I see zero resemblance no matter how often I see her.
- As a child, was Yoon Yu Jin... - How long will you talk about her?
You said you cut your ties with her.
Why do you keep asking me about Yu Jin these days?
Do you want to reconnect?
Then, do that.
Right. Sorry.
- Something came up. - Like what?
Is something going on with Yu Jin?
It's too early to share. I'll tell you later.
Is this something good or bad?
I'm not sure.
If you aren't going to tell me,
don't make me curious.
I'll tell you once I'm sure.
Eat up, now.
You only say that you cut ties with her.
I'm sick of your first love.
She's never gone.
I could probably find a photo of Du Na at home.
I have to go to my siblings' place.
Why?
Right. Because your brother opened for business?
"Opened for business?"
- Thank you. - Thank you.
Thank you.
Here's your tteokbokki.
It'll taste delicious if you dip this into these.
Try it like that.
My aunt let him start that business.
She even gave them credit cards they could use.
Yes, Mr. Han. Where are you?
I'm at home.
I cleaned my place, did the laundry, and thought of you during a break.
- Have you eaten? - I have.
What about finding the evidence...
of the death of Chairwoman Shin's daughter?
I still haven't figured out a way.
Is that so?
You shouldn't devote yourself only to work.
You should be out on a date on your day off.
I'm going to visit my siblings' place.
Your siblings' place?
Yes, I'm nearby.
I see. Is that so? All right.
Let's talk later.
What? Wasn't that Ji Seok?
Where?
Why would he be here?
- He doesn't know I started this. - Right?
- But the back... - Stop jinxing this.
He wouldn't leave quietly.
He'd come in and make a scene inside.
Why is he suddenly back home?
Is their tenant home?
There she is. Du Na.
(Probability of Parentage: 99.9 percent)
There's a 99.9 percent chance he's her grandson.
It was just as I expected. The kid was the real deal.
A seven-year-old successor is now unexpectedly in the picture.
Yu Jin was something, too.
She knew she was being tailed,
so she didn't list him on her family registry.
I would've handled him then if I had known.
What's your plan now?
I'll wait for the right moment.
Goo Ha Na is nothing but a cover.
All I have to do is keep that seven-year-old under control.
Wait.
I heard Goo Ha Na planned to adopt him.
If she becomes his legal guardian,
she'll get everything.
You have to stop that.
I have to stay focused.
Yeo Jin, how's Eun Chong?
Oh, I don't think he'll get blisters.
Gosh, I'm so glad.
My goodness. This world was filled with misery.
Why?
It's the lady of Myeongun Group.
His second son gave up parental rights and custody...
to his wife when they split up.
But since that day,
her daughter-in-law won't let her meet her grandson.
- Why not? - She got revenge on that family...
by using her parental rights and custody.
How can that happen?
She should get him back right away.
She can't.
Whoever has parental rights and custody has the most power.
There's no legal problem even if she refuses to show her son...
- to his grandmother. - Is that so?
That lady cried a river, saying she might not see her grandson...
for the rest of her life.
If she never gets to see her dear grandson again,
that'll be the worst punishment imaginable.
Don't let your fake daughter get everything you have...
and make a wise choice, Yeo Jin.
Goodness.
Yes. If the agent asks,
"What can your auntie do to make you feel the happiest?"
What will you say?
When she hugs me tightly like my mommy.
Me, too.
I think they'll ask, "Why do you wish..."
"to adopt Eun Chong?"
Because Eun Chong is very dear to me.
And I want to be by his side to help him grow up...
into a healthier and happier boy.
I want to stay with you, too, Auntie Ha Na!
Yes, please let us stay together.
What are you up to?
We practiced the interview for the adoption agency's visit.
Auntie and I have no problems!
Is that so?
She got revenge on that family...
by using her parental rights and custody.
If she found out she was a fake, would she take Eun Chong from me...
by using her parental rights and custody?
Okay.
Why was Ji Seok here?
Did he come to get something?
Was there something related to Yu Jin?
Mom will stay with Eun Chong tomorrow.
It'll be too dangerous to pay special attention to Eun Chong.
You should keep your distance.
I'm sorry. I forgot that I had a breakfast meeting.
Why don't you take tomorrow off?
I'll ask at work.
No, it's okay. I'll stay with him tomorrow.
I'm free.
- You will? - Yes.
It won't be easy to babysit him all day long.
It's just for a day.
Eun Chong, you can stay with Little Grandma tomorrow.
Will Ms. Bang Ul not be here?
No, she's not coming.
Think of everything you want to eat and do tomorrow.
I'll take the day off.
Yu Jin, do you not trust me?
Then, please do that for us.
All right. Don't worry.
Then, please do that, Aunt Myung Ji.
Sure.
You did that on purpose.
- Why don't we stop here? - No, it's all right.
Did I open up her old wounds?
You were also pretty back then, Ms. Goo.
Especially when you smiled.
I was pretty when I smiled?
Gosh, what am I thinking?
Now, as of today, we've become the Travel Service Department.
Let's keep up our spirits.
- We can do it! - We can do it!
Let's start working on the projects...
we can also implement here at the hotel.
- Yes, sir. - Yes, sir.
President Hwang, why don't we begin the mother-daughter therapy tour?
We can offer it to the hotel's guests.
It can be a regular program or a promotional event.
- That sounds great. - That sounds great.
Ms. Goo, slam on the accelerator once again.
Gosh, okay.
Also, I'm no longer the president. I'm the general manager.
- Yes, sir. - But Ha Na,
let's turn the mother-daughter therapy tour...
into a big success!
Okay. Let's do this!
- We can do this! - We can do this!
- You're the best!
It's like they're celebrating.
And Ms. Yoon, I need to see you.
Sure.
Why didn't you call me back yesterday?
Did you call?
Gosh, I didn't know you called. I'm sorry.
- Why did you call? - I wondered if you were having fun.
It's been a while since we met, so time literally flew by.
Show me some pictures.
I wanted to see how much fun you had.
My friends took the photos.
They said they'd upload it on their account, but not yet.
- I'll show it to you when they do. - Okay.
Why are you staring at me?
No reason.
You used to say it was because I was pretty. "No reason?"
Where's your love?
Of course, you're pretty.
Are you done?
When are you meeting the marketing team leader from New York?
I wanted to say hi, too.
Both Ha Na and you were very interested in that team leader.
I'll find out the schedule.
What is this? Is he suspicious of me?
You may leave.
How's Mother doing with her new business? Is it going well?
You know ingredients are everything when it comes to food, right?
Of course.
The vegetables would be delivered every single day.
- Right? - Yes.
I'll serve my customers as if I'm cooking for my own son.
Yes, please keep that spirit and do a great job.
I look forward to this, too.
There seemed to be all kinds of broths.
I'm not sure if I can make all those.
Don't worry about it.
You'll get the broth package from the headquarters,
so all you have to do is mix everything in perfect ratio.
It's not too difficult.
Gosh, I'm glad.
You'll do a great job.
- Then, let's go to the kitchen. - Okay.
First, I need to get him on my side.
All done.
Goodness.
Hey, that must be the pizza.
Pizza's here.
Goodness. What's this? That hurt.
Darn it. What is this?
I'm sorry.
It's okay.
I should've been more careful.
But it's dangerous to leave this where people are walking by,
- so play with blocks in your room. - Okay.
Give it to me, please.
Well, I'm taking this.
I'll give it back when you're a good boy with me.
You have your mommy's phone?
- Yes. - Can you show it to me?
Later.
I said you had to listen to me...
to get your block back.
I'll show it to you after I eat this.
Okay. Eat up.
I threw out her phone in the lake at the time of the accident.
What's this other phone?
Lee Du Na. Lee Eun Chong.
I heard he took his mother's last name...
because he had no dad.
Come in.
Mr. Goo, I found it.
I met the reporter who reported her disappearance...
and received the original of the article.
(Missing Child, Name: Yoon Yu Jin, age 10, female)
Du Na?
They're the same person.
How can this happen?
How can this be real?
So, everything was...
staged by Chairwoman Shin and Hwang Jin Goo.
How's Eun Chong?
He didn't go to the kindergarten, right?
No. It must sting and itch, but he's holding out.
Aunt Myung Ji is babysitting him.
That's an unlikely pair.
She's suddenly so nice to him.
Is she?
That's a good thing.
Yes.
I guess so. Yes.
Mr. Goo.
I was on my way to say hello as this was day one...
of our new department...
as General Manager Hwang Jin Goo of the Travel Service Department.
(Cinderella Game)
Mr. Hwang was beaten up by Mr. Goo?
Could it be because of that rumor?
Thanks a lot, friend.
I warned you. Do not get me involved in these dirty rumors.
You wouldn't like both anyway.
Will you tell your sister that she's a fake?
I found it!
How did this end up in your room?
Why is this happening?
I have a bad feeling about this.
Ji Seok has changed completely.
Is something going on?
This is all too sudden.
I've been too narrow-minded.
I look forward to our continuous cooperation.
