Among the volunteers at MS Patients Organization,
someone is sure to remember.
Ms. Eun Dong Joo?
I'm Kim Soo Na. Were you looking for me?
What is it about?
Busan?
I've already punched in the address.
Just follow the navigation.
I thought you were on a leave. Why are you going to Busan?
Gosh, you know how introverted I am.
I'm feeling sentimental today.
I wish to see the ocean.
This is not the time to enjoy the ocean.
What about Sabina and Eun Dong Joo?
You shouldn't be...
Gosh, you're so talkative.
Can I not get some fresh air?
Dong Joo is doing her job,
so let me get some rest.
All right.
You are looking for this man?
Yes. His name is Eun Jeong Soo.
He was a patient at MS Supporters Association.
He died 28 years ago.
Then is he your father?
It could be.
I'm looking for him to find out.
It's from so long ago that I can't remember clearly.
This is President Eun.
- President Eun? - That's right.
We had a man we called President Eun a long time ago.
He was so kind and cheerful.
All the patients liked him.
Do you know anything about his family?
His family?
The thing is...
- Reverend. - Chairwoman Jin.
Aren't you Dong Joo?
Ms. Jin.
Sabina.
What brings you here?
And how do you know her?
Oh, she helped me out last time.
It seems like you two know each other.
Are you friends?
No, it's not like that.
- Last time with Lee Sung Wook... - We met by coincidence a few times.
By the way, what brings you here?
I'm looking for someone.
Her father was a member of the MS Patients Organization.
Oh, my. Is that so?
What kind of coincidence is this?
(Aram Orphanage)
It's so hot.
"Aram Orphanage"? What is this place?
Gosh, you're not my wife, so stop nagging.
Come on, tell me.
Why do you think we're here?
- Det. Cha Pil Seung? - Yes.
Hello.
- You're here because of Dong Joo? - Yes.
Did she cause trouble?
No, I just have some questions.
Goodness! You should've told me so.
Could you give me the files, please?
- Here you go. - Thank you.
"Found at a public garage".
"Date, August 3, 1992"?
I'm sure of it.
She was abandoned the day my father got into the accident.
Was there anything unusual when you first saw her?
I was the teacher, so I remember this for sure.
It seemed as if she was traumatized.
She couldn't speak for an entire week.
The only thing she remembered was her name, Eun Dong Joo.
Do kids usually show such symptoms when they get abandoned?
Dong Joo was special.
It seemed like there was something else that happened to her.
Could they be after effects of a car accident?
It's possible.
(Golden Garden)
What is this?
She had them with her on the day we found her.
This proves that she's the daughter of an MS patient...
who was at the Golden Garden.
Eun Jeong Soo?
He was one of the early members of the patients organization.
But unfortunately, he passed away 28 years ago.
That was all that I knew, so I came here to ask her.
That's right.
During the volunteer work,
she took much interest in the patients,
so I'm sure she'll remember.
I know Eun Jeong Soo's wife,
who would be your mother,
very well.
You know my mom?
Do you really?
She's a junior of mine from the same high school.
We lost touch when she left school during her junior year.
And then, we ran into each other at the patients organization.
She's a year younger than me,
so she must be 52 years old.
What's her name?
Shin Nan Sook.
So that's her name.
Even after Eun Jeong Soo relapsed, she endured it well.
Her husband was considerate, they had a stable income,
and they had a beautiful daughter whom they doted on.
Goodness, how did they lose...
their one and only daughter?
Sabina, what's wrong? You're looking pale.
It's nothing.
I'm a bit tense.
By the way,
about that Shin Nan Sook,
do you know where she's living and how she's doing?
I'm sorry,
but we lost touch after her husband passed away.
Rumours say,
she disappeared after his death.
She must've been in despair after losing her daughter as well.
How was my mom?
She was very skilful and smart.
She was good-looking.
She was tall and had distinct facial features,
so she always stood out among the crowd.
Do you have a photo of her?
I'm afraid I don't.
If I find out later, I'll make sure to hand it to you.
This is heartbreaking.
Is there no way for her to find her mother?
I'll contact my acquaintances and alumni.
Let me help.
Sure.
I wonder if this is fate.
During the car accident at the Golden Garden festival,
Prof. Cha, who was a co-founder of the association, passed away.
I was in so much pain that I stopped being involved.
But now that I'm back here once again,
I found someone who needs my help.
Just like what I said during the magazine interview,
the knots I've had all this time are starting to come undone.
You're right.
Dong Joo,
I'll do my best to help,
so please be patient.
Thank you, Sabina.
You're looking for the witness of the hit-and-run accident...
on Route Seven, 28 years ago?
I read the report.
It said you guys went to the scene after the witness reported it.
But that was it.
We made a public search,
but the culprit didn't show up, so we had to end it.
Do you have a tape-recording...
or the original file of the report?
Hold on.
Look at you. Is this how you'll spend your leave?
I told you. I'm introverted.
This is how an introverted man spends his leave.
Let's see.
This recording is old, so the sound quality might be off.
Hello? Is this the police?
I'm reporting a car accident. Please hurry.
Please calm down, ma'am.
Where is your location?
My location? Well... It's...
It's Route Seven.
Hurry up, please.
You said it was a car accident. Could you explain in detail?
A car has flipped over. Please just come!
What happened?
Hello?
We found out that she called us through a nearby phone booth.
I'd like to take this.
Did you memorize everything that I've told you?
- Yes! - Yes!
Then say it out loud. Go.
One. You must help one another during difficult times.
Two. Royalty is the most important.
Sa Rang.
How many times do I need to repeat it?
It's loyalty, not royalty.
Loyalty.
Exactly. Royalty.
This is serious.
Sa Rang.
How will you date a man from Seoul if he can't understand you?
Follow me.
"The weather is chilly."
"The weather is Tilly."
It's chilly, not Tilly.
Exactly. Chilly.
That's it. Try it one more time.
"The weather is chilly."
"The weather is Tilly."
Fine. Talking isn't important when dating.
Body language alone is enough.
We're running out of time.
Oh, my gosh. It'll only take 50 minutes.
Cover for me for just 50 minutes.
You can do it.
Good luck.
You're a mother ghost to me.
(National Singing Contest)
Mother!
(National Singing Contest)
I'm so nervous.
Everyone looks so well-prepared.
I didn't prepare at all.
Oh, my.
Are you NORAZO?
No, there's NORAZO.
But we're ANNORAZO.
That's so interesting. You guys look so alike.
Sing for me.
This is our new song. Listen up.
1. 2. 1, 2, 3, 4.
Shower, shower, shower
Sing this song while you take a shower
Shower, shower, shower
It's so cool and refreshing
No way. You sound like them as well.
Can you listen to my song now?
Let's hear it.
1. 1. 1, 2, 3, 4.
The wind is blowing
Into my sorrowful heart
No!
Hey, you must never sing a ballad here.
Then what should I sing?
Find something that suits your tone...
and enchants the audience.
That something.
That something?
Okay, I got it.
I know what it is.
Thank you for visiting our restaurant.
I'll take your order.
Have some water.
It's very refreshing.
What is this?
Hey, where's your grandma?
Hey, what's the best dish?
They order seasoned spicy chicken often these days.
That's spicy!
Then have the soy sauce one.
That's salty!
Forget it. Go bring me some makgeolli.
We don't have any.
What?
Why don't you?
Why? Why don't you have any?
Go buy some!
Mid Eum.
They're scary.
This is ridiculous.
Go get it!
You've never tasted...
such tasty chicken before.
"You've never tasted..."
"such tasty chicken before."
Get up.
- Grandma. - Grandma.
- Get lost. - Grandma.
We were bored, so we just joked around a bit.
Get lost,
you gangster-like, good-for-nothing...
piece of garbage.
We won't sell any chicken to you.
Get lost!
You little scumbags!
You're better off dead!
Those dirtbags.
By the way,
where did Lion Head go?
Goodness.
I'm Number 619, Oh Mi Joo, a lady down to her bones.
Hello.
I wish to become a competent singer,
- so I'd appreciate it... - All right, please start.
Yes, sir.
Such is life
Everyone comes here empty-handed
But they tell fairy tales
To everyone they meet
Don't be disappointed in yourself
You can't be good at everything
Tomorrow just has to be better than today
This is your life
Amor fati
(Dong Joo)
What is that?
Where are your manners?
I'm sorry.
Good job. Next.
Please give me one more chance. Let me make up for it.
Next!
Dr. Lee said it could be a relapse.
Ma'am, the preparations for the wedding are complete.
I've checked with the catering service,
and the pastor will give his blessing.
This is the list of the guests.
What is it? Is something wrong?
My fingers keep trembling.
I'll set up an earlier date for the checkup after the wedding.
What should I do?
If this is a relapse, everything is over.
You shouldn't hide it any longer and tell Mr. Choi.
He's the only one you can rely on.
I can only rely on him if I can trust him.
Not only did he cause that incident 30 years ago,
but he's still immature.
He just seems that way.
He's more considerate than he looks.
Oh, Bella.
Don't you know how to knock?
Knock?
Is that necessary when I'm here to see my wife?
Listen to me if you don't want to get kicked out.
This is an order.
Stop.
Ta-Da.
What are you doing?
Nam Hee, you're being too harsh.
I know I did you wrong 30 years ago,
but how could you treat me like a dog?
What? Like a dog?
Then what is it?
I thought you'd feel empty after giving...
your five-carat diamond ring to your future daughter-in-law,
so I lost sleep over it...
and finally bought the right one.
How could you trample all over my sincerity?
Look at this.
Look at this pigeon blood ruby ring that is as red as my bleeding heart!
You bought this for me?
I'm so grateful for your sincerity.
But where did you get this?
That should've cost at least 100,000 dollars.
Where did you get the money?
I don't have any money!
I used the corporate card.
So you bought it with my own money?
And company funds, at that?
Your money is my money and vice versa.
The company funds are...
Gosh.
I beg you.
Don't do anything...
and just lie low.
That's your being helpful.
Darn it.
Please be prudent.
Prudent?
I'm begging you.
Please leave this place.
Don't worry.
It'll happen soon.
What was that? Was she serious?
Also,
Nam Hee's hand was trembling.
Is she ill?
When did you come?
Aren't you packing too little...
for your honeymoon?
It'll be a short trip since I need to work.
Wouldn't Sabina be disappointed?
Both the wedding and the honeymoon are too simple.
She wanted that.
The more I look at her, the more I'm starting to like her.
Mom.
Thank you for giving us your blessing.
I know very well...
that you had high expectations for me.
It must've been very difficult to yield to me.
Goodness.
If you know that, have a good marriage life.
I wasn't able to do that,
but you've witnessed it.
You know you shouldn't live like me.
Mom.
I finally realized...
that the success or failure of a marriage...
doesn't depend on who you marry...
but depends on how much effort you're willing to put in.
You should rest up.
If you know that,
you should forgive Father.
I've never felt happiness...
while growing up.
I know you can relate.
Father is regretting it immensely.
And he still loves you nonetheless.
If you change your mind, things can go back to normal.
I truly hope...
that you can become happy.
Is that...
your wish?
You know that we never have enough time.
Instead of wasting time hating each other,
you should start loving more.
You're right.
I don't have much time left.
I'll think about it.
Thanks, Mom.
I'm sorry, Grandma. I truly mean it.
It was the preliminaries today, so she had no choice.
If anything, I'm to blame for asking her to take care of them.
No. I failed to receive their order.
No.
I couldn't keep my promise.
Shut it!
Everyone, just shut it.
Hey, Lion Head.
Do you even know...
what kind of mess you've caused...
before begging in front of me?
I do.
I asked them to take care of the restaurant for me...
and went away for a teeny bit.
You little...
You still haven't come to your senses.
Is "teeny bit" your definition of two hours?
You've committed four sins.
Failure in duty, laziness, dereliction of duty,
and child abuse!
Ma'am, I'm truly sorry. I won't do it ever again.
Please spare me this once.
She's right. She won't ever do this again.
I can vouch for her.
Grandma, please forgive her. Please.
Grandma...
No. Be quiet!
How could you betray me like this...
as soon as I entrusted the restaurant to you?
I hate people who can't be loyal.
So you're fired. Fired.
Get out.
- Grandma, please! Just this once! - Get out.
- Grandma, what's all this ruckus? - Get out.
I'm glad you're here.
Drag her out. She's fired.
What?
Grandma.
Are you all ganging up on me?
Everyone, get out!
You're fired!
What happened to his face?
And his arm?
What happened?
He'd been doing fine while receiving treatment.
But today, he caused a scene in the therapy room.
He was practising walking,
saw a kid, and hurt himself while running at him.
It'll be very helpful to bring his family here.
I told you.
Due to his debt, no one should know that he's here.
Look for a nice sanitarium.
Yes, ma'am.
Poor you.
You haven't regained your memory,
but you still yearn for your children.
Don't you dare...
use this arm.
Don't try to cause another ruckus.
Yes. Be patient for one more day.
When tomorrow comes, Sabina will no longer be of reach.
(Episode 18 will air shortly.)
(Episode 18)
Your mother's name...
is Shin Nan Sook.
You're home early, my princess.
Where were you?
Why haven't you been answering your phone?
What's going on?
You'll be walking into the palace by tomorrow,
so what's with the frown?
A bomb just dropped at our feet.
A huge one that'll kill us if it goes off.
A bomb?
What's this about?
Do you know Kim Soo Na?
Kim Soo Na?
The reverend at Church of Happiness...
who was a year above you in high school.
Kim Soo Na?
How do you know that name?
Chairwoman Jin wants to get...
the MS Patients Organization rolling again.
She met with the reverend...
in charge of the volunteer work back then.
It was her.
So?
Does she remember me?
Yes, she remembers your exact name,
Shin Nan Sook.
Shin Nan Sook?
Yes, that's the name of my mother.
Are you sure?
Reverend Kim went to the same high school,
so she remembers her clearly.
My mom must be a charismatic woman though.
She's tall and has distinctive facial features...
which makes her stand out wherever she goes.
She loved my father dearly...
and adored me too.
Get a grip on yourself, will you?
Then why would she have abandoned you?
I already told you.
She didn't abandon me. She lost me.
It won't be long before I locate her.
The reverend offered to find her for me.
- Sister... - I know.
If Eun Jeong Soo isn't my father,
then this all means nothing.
However, I'm sure that he's my father.
- I can feel it. - Sister...
The man in the photo just doesn't seem like a stranger.
I'm sure he's my father.
Is there something stuck in your ear?
Listen to what I have to say first!
Gosh. Why on earth are you yelling?
Before the kids wake up, we need to...
Sister, you are his daughter.
How can you be sure?
Here.
(Golden Garden)
What's this?
I went to the orphanage you grew up in.
Look closely at the photo.
Do you see what's written on it?
Golden Garden.
Then...
The 1992 Golden Garden Fireflies Festival...
took place in Busan,
and you were there too.
One of your parents suffered from MS...
and Eun Jeong Soo is the only one with that surname.
That makes you his daughter.
Detective Cha!
Detective Cha, my gosh.
Thank you so much, Detective Cha.
Thank you so much!
Right, anyway...
You must be hungry. Should I whip something up?
I just had grilled mackerel, remember?
Right, you ate.
Then I'll bring out some fruit.
Hold on.
What are you doing?
Darn mosquito!
Do you find fun in teasing me?
I wasn't teasing you.
I have better things to do, you know.
Look for yourself. See the mosquito?
There's nothing here!
Do you have a double-digit IQ?
Is it a single digit?
Find, it's only a double-digit.
Unbelievable.
Gosh.
I do find her adorable.
Gosh.
Don't worry.
Kim Soo Na can ask around all she wants.
She won't be able to find me.
Mom,
she's in frequent contact with my mother-in-law.
You're bound to cross paths sooner or later.
She insisted on helping Dong Joo find her mother.
Once she recognizes you,
it'll all be over.
We'll still be strangers.
Once you marry into the family,
I won't be around them a lot anyway.
Apart from when your child celebrates its first birthday party,
I won't see them.
So don't make a fuss.
What about the wedding tomorrow?
She could attend the wedding.
It's a small wedding.
You have to be invited or be a family member to attend.
Why would she be there?
What if you encounter her though?
What will we do?
Sabina, I said I'd do anything...
for you.
If she intrudes with your road to happiness,
I'll handle the problem.
So don't worry...
and focus on being happy.
Mom,
are we on the right path?
Lee Sung Wook and Eun Dong Joo...
My head is about to explode.
If I trust you...
and keep walking this path,
will it lead to my happiness?
Of course.
Lee Sung Wook and Eun Dong Joo...
Don't even think of them.
I'll make sure that none of them...
get in your way.
If deities existed, I could make a sacred vow.
Once I'm married,
I will never commit any sins again.
So please...
Please, no more...
Yes, I know.
That's how it'll be.
That will happen...
for sure.
Castorpollux roopretelcham.
You said it's your favourite saying.
Your wish will come true...
because we'll be together forever starting tomorrow.
Fried Chicken Grandma,
I'm...
sorry.
My gosh.
Your handwriting is neat.
What are you writing?
Grandma was angry yesterday, so I'm writing a letter...
to ask her to forgive Mi Joo.
I see.
I don't understand Mi Joo though.
Why did she go to the singing contest...
when Grandma hates it?
Because she wants to be a singer.
What for?
Well, it's her dream.
Dream? What's that?
A dream is something you wish to do when you're older.
Then what's your dream?
My dream?
I want...
our dad to return home safely...
and for us to live happily ever after.
That's my dream.
What about you?
Me?
I want to be a Buddha.
A Buddha? Why?
Do you remember when we followed the landlady to the temple?
I saw the lady visitors doing this.
Like this. They were bowing to the statue.
They were making a wish.
"Please bless us with a daughter."
"Please let my son pass his exam."
That's right!
It's why I'll become Buddha...
and grant the wishes of everyone I like.
Mi Joo's wish...
and your wish too.
That's enough.
Stop crying...
and tell me what you wish for.
Oh, wise one.
What I truly wish to be is a singer.
A singer that sings.
Is that so?
If that's what you want, then that's what you'll be.
Mi Joo, you will now...
be a singer!
Sa Rang,
what are you thinking about?
I dreamed of becoming Buddha.
I'm home!
- Dad! - Daddy!
I know my puppies have been waiting for me.
I'm sorry for not coming home sooner.
Dad.
Dad,
I missed you so much.
Don't you ever go anywhere ever again.
Don't worry. I won't go anywhere else again.
The three of us will live happily ever after together.
- Dad. - Daddy!
Dad...
- Daddy... - Don't go anywhere ever again.
- Daddy... - Sa Rang.
Sa Rang?
Why?
Why are you suffocating your toy?
My gosh.
Where did our dad go?
Dad. Daddy!
Dad?
My mother's name is Shin Nan Sook.
Hello? Is this the police?
I'm reporting a car accident. Please hurry.
Is she Dong Joo's mother then?
- I'm off to work. - Right, go and earn money.
Just a second.
Here.
Shin Nan Sook, 52.
- Who's this? - Eun Dong Joo's mom.
We've narrowed down the search pool, so get digging.
Searching all these names will be quite the job.
But I'm on leave.
Since I'm an introvert, I'll enjoy it in my room.
What are you going to do...
if Ms. Eun's mom is the hit-and-run driver?
What do you mean?
Something's brewing between you two...
which is why you're at her place often.
It's just a stakeout.
You even gave her 1,000 dollars.
- That was to feed the kids. - Still,
Cho Rong and I could look out for them.
Then you'll be working overtime.
Right, let's agree you don't have feelings for her?
Good day.
I have feelings for her?
Well, I do think that she's kind of cute.
No, she's not! I have high standards.
My stomach was aching but that washed it down.
You really should quit drinking. Don't you feel sorry for your liver?
Put yourself in my shoes.
I had the audition in the bag,
but the phone call ruined everything.
That's not all. Ms. Kang told me to stay away as well.
Just know that I chose to drink instead of diving into Han River.
Mi Joo,
I'm sorry about this, and I know you're not in the mood,
but can you congratulate me?
What?
What's there to apologize?
What makes you happy makes me happy too.
Anyway, is there something to celebrate?
- Yes. - What is it?
I think...
I'll find my mom soon.
I met someone who knew her well.
52-year-old Shin Nan Sook is my mom...
and the lady will try to locate her for me.
I know what you're worried about,
but that won't be the case.
My mom raised me with love and adoration.
We were a loving family.
She's probably been looking for me all this time.
Mi Joo, what's wrong? Why are you crying?
I'm jealous, that's why.
I thought things like that only happened in movies.
Finally, after 28 years,
you'll find your parents.
My gosh.
You must be so happy.
How ecstatic are you?
Every second of every day seems to be ticking so slowly.
I don't know if I can be patient enough.
The stars will help you find her fast.
Hold on. Let's practice what you'll say when you meet her.
The word...
we've always wanted to say...
but never had the chance to.
Mom!
My gosh.
Come on. Try it.
Go ahead.
Mom...
Gosh.
Mom!
- Mom! - Mom...
Mom!
She insisted on helping Dong Joo find her mother.
Mom, where are you? You should be here by now.
I didn't just in case.
Is Kim Soo Na there?
Are you kidding me right now?
You should be at my wedding even if the world is going to end.
You've been looking forward to this all your life.
Calm down.
What I've wanted...
isn't your wedding but your happiness.
If there's a slight chance of me ruining it,
I'm going to stay back.
- Mom... - Don't cry.
You'll ruin your makeup.
I already talked to Secretary Han, so go on with the wedding.
I've thought about it and it's the best course of action.
Mom. Mom?
How are you feeling?
I'm good.
Please don't be too upset.
Your mom called.
She might not be able to attend due to stomach cramps.
I'm terribly sorry.
Chairwoman Jin understands, so don't worry.
Just a second.
Could I take a look at the guest list?
May I ask why?
I wanted to see if there is anyone I should remember to greet.
I see.
This is the guest list.
(Guest List)
Well, thank you.
That reminds me.
Another part has been added to the wedding.
Just know that it's a surprise Ms. Jin prepared for you.
May I ask what it is?
It wouldn't be a surprise if I told you.
Anyway, don't be too bothered by it.
Mom, I checked the guest list.
Reverend Kim won't be here, so please hurry over.
Hello, everyone.
- Hello. - Hello.
I'm sure you're angry to have been asked to come here on the weekend.
We thought so which is why we prepared a nice meal...
and a wedding...
that will be one of the simplest small weddings ever.
Coming to think of it,
there isn't much that I've achieved.
However,
I am nothing but proud to be the father of my son.
That son is getting married today.
It's why...
I insisted on hosting his wedding.
Nice, right?
Thank you.
Then let us begin the wedding.
Here comes the bride and groom.
You look beautiful.
Yes, where are you?
Really?
No, don't worry.
Ms. Jin asked you at the last minute,
so we added you on for later.
As a married couple, we will not fight.
However, if we do argue, I will be the one who loses.
If the unforgivable happens,
then forgive me three times.
I will forgive you four times.
While we're together, I will smile and respect you.
I will trust you.
I will always treasure you.
As your partner, your peer,
and your lover, I will always be by your side.
- No matter what hardships we face, - No matter what hardships we face,
- we'll not give up on each other... - we'll not give up on each other...
- and love each other forever. - and love each other forever.
Their last words were particularly memorable.
"No matter what hardships we face,"
"we'll not give up on each other and love each other forever."
It wouldn't be right for the parents...
to not say something in return, right?
Then,
let's hear from the bride's mother.
It's not a beautiful night, but a wonderful midday.
I don't know about anything else,
but this I want to ask of them.
Sabina, my daughter,
the heart of my life.
In movies, weddings tend to wrap up one's story.
However, in real life,
it marks the beginning of one.
You're now living a new life now,
so forget about the past...
and live as happy as you possibly can.
Congratulations.
How touching.
Next...
is the beautiful Chairwoman Jin.
Since Ms. Shin already said many nice things, I'll keep it short.
Sabina,
thank you for joining the family.
Joon Ki,
love with all your heart...
and enjoy a happy marriage.
Then let's raise our glasses for the future of the couple.
- For their happy future. - For their happy future!
Next is the highlight of today's event.
The bride and groom will sing their own nuptial song.
Please give them a big round of applause.
Bride and groom, the stage is yours.
I never thought
I wanted such a great fate
But without you, only fate
Can now fill my days
Meeting you among countless people
As if in a dream we recognize each other
I was thrilled to give my love but now I receive yours
All that was a miracle
Ms. Eun,
I think I found your mother.
