(Episode 72)
(Defendant)
(Plaintiff)
- (Judge) - Do you have anything to say?
We, his biological parents, had no idea of his existence seven years ago.
That's why I claim this adoption is void from the beginning.
When I first discovered him, he wasn't a lost child.
He wasn't taken care of from the beginning.
Im Ha-yoon only had his umbilical cord cut out. No
other medical procedures have been done on him.
He seemed like an abandoned child.
That's not true.
We had no idea he existed. If we had, we wouldn't have allowed that to happen.
His grandmother had told me to appropriately dispose of him.
I would like to submit the medical records at that time as evidence.
I have submitted them.
Yes, I have received them.
Despite the fact that my mother had given her enough child rearing expense,
Im Eun-hee has raised the child poorly in the orphanage.
Money was her only target.
The result of it is the restaurant she is currently running.
I have never received child rearing expenses.
I raised the child working as a cook and nutritionist.
My mother has supported her school expenses as well.
That's true. She's my savior.
I went to thank her, and that's when I met Ha-yoon.
It's true that his grandmother has supported him financially for many years.
At first, she had told me to send the child to other people for adoption.
Then she told me to make Im Eun-hee raise him.
Ever since then, she has given a large donation under his name.
It was an extreme amount.
Now that I think about it, she did that because he was her grandson.
Even after we found out he was our child, we have compensated her properly.
I have never received it.
After Eun-hee left, Seo Suk-jin came by with money that was meant as compensation.
Give this to her.
Eun-hee does not know this money exists because I never told her about it.
Im Eun-hee has left the child irresponsibly last time.
And now she's back to make this into an issue again.
There's no consistency here. This is just an
irresponsible action that will confuse the child.
I think her claims as the right as his parent is a violation.
Ha-yoon is a child actor.
This is a world where internet articles do not
disappear and will keep being searched about.
Ha-yoon is seven right now, but I was afraid he would find out about
this matter later on, which is why I left in the first place.
I assumed they would raise Ha-yoon better because they're his biological parents.
After I heard he was admitted to the hospital for leukemia, I came back right away.
The child was in very poor condition. He's in the same state right now.
Your Honor, we were apart for seven years, and
we didn't know of each other's existences.
Naturally, it will take us a long time to adjust to each other.
Please give us some time to become a family.
That's why I had left.
But in that time, Suk-jin voided my right as
Ha-yoon's adoptive mom. He's always been this way.
I had even married him in order to bring the child back.
Of course, I didn't find out about the fact that we
haven't even been registered for marriage until later on.
The plaintiff has liked me ever since we were young,
and she was the one who suggested marriage first.
Hey!
If I had used the child as a bait to get married to
Suk-jin, wouldn't I have registered for marriage first?
- (Proof of Marriage) - I found out the truth
after I saw the article about their affair.
(Affair Rumor of Actress Kim Ja-kyung and Director Seo Suk-jin)
I have recorded the date of the incident.
So? Did you explain the situation well to the judge?
All I had to do was state the facts.
I see.
Anyways, you must be tired. Did you eat lunch?
Yes, I did. I'll do my best, so don't worry.
Ja-kyung is sticking by your side, right?
People are watching, so do well. You can't lose.
Bye.
Im Eun-hee.
I let you raise my grandson for a while, but in the end, you drag my son to court?
I should have abandoned her in Cheol-gok.
Mrs. Hong, Ja-kyung is doing her part by Suk-jin's side, right?
Tell her to act well.
If she causes trouble, she won't get anything.
Yes. Yes. Yes. Yes. All right. Bye.
So she's going to give us a performance fee, huh?
Your mother-in-law is checking whether you're doing well or not. Do well.
Unbelievable.
I should just kill us all.
Hold it in. All we need to do is sit back and enjoy the ride.
Why? Are you tired?
I'm tired because of you. Your mom called my mom to check if I was doing well.
Tell her I hate things like that!
I'm sorry. She did it because she was worried.
I hate how she's doing this more than being in the trial.
- Don't you have to go to work? - I know. It's taking longer than I thought.
Eat this. The trial will end shortly in the afternoon.
Here. You can't keep being on an empty stomach.
I almost caused a scene in there.
How dare he utters ridiculous claims about setting up the restaurant for you.
Don't mind him. He's being ridiculous.
I'd feel so much better if I could just beat
him up with the determination to go to prison.
- Don't. You better not. - Myoung-sun.
I know. I'll hold back.
You must hold back until the end.
If we want to bring Ha-yoon back, we have to speak without losing our cool.
I know! That's why my blood pressure is about to explode!
What's with you? Why are you laughing?
You're getting vicarious satisfaction through me, aren't you?
Yes, you're saying everything I want to say.
Here.
Eun-ah sent me an encouraging message. Did you tell her about this?
Yes. She'll see Ha-yoon often now anyways.
You did the right thing.
Thank you for encouraging me, my little sister.
(Seoul Family Court)
When the child was getting chemotherapy treatment for leukemia, his
biological mother decided to appear in "Jang Hye-bin" and started to film it.
- Her appearance had been decided before that. - That's not true.
Every day, Im Eun-hee came to nurse him.
I didn't see Kim Ja-kyung at all.
Seo Suk-jin only showed up to talk with the doctor as well.
Only Park Bok-ae and Im Eun-hee stayed in Ha-yoon's hospital room.
My wife and I both work. It was a realistic decision that we had made.
We did the best we could.
We gave him the best hospital room and generously considered him.
Currently, his biological parents are residing at Hannam-dong villa by themselves.
That's not true. We're currently living with our child right now.
The Hannam-dong villa will only be used during her drama filming in
order to not harm the child because of an actress's irregular schedule.
Last but not least, this is the most recent call I had with the child.
Mommy, I'm scared.
Daddy is yelling. He's fighting with grandma.
Mommy, please pick me up.
I don't want to be here.
He's only seven years old. He's at an age when he still longs for his adoptive mom.
I'll be the judge of that.
Thanks. I couldn't have done this without you.
Forget it. I'm so tired.
Gwang-soo, take Ja-kyung. She has filming today, right?
Yes.
- Hurry up. - Okay.
What will the result be?
I'm not sure. Like the judge had said, she'll be the judge of this.
Is there anything else we can do?
As of right now, no. We did our best, so we just have to wait now.
Okay.
I'll let you know if I hear anything.
- Thank you. - You worked hard today.
Oh, Gun-woo.
- Tiring, huh? - It's more tiring than I thought it would be.
This is just a process. It'll pass over soon.
Our Ha-yoon is waiting at the end. We must walk through this tunnel.
Even though it may be dark and tiring, don't take a break. Okay?
Okay. Cheer up.
Cheer up.
What did you come here for? You should have just gone home and rest.
I know.
Her face became so tiny. My goodness.
I'm fine. It's better for me to work during this time.
If I stay home, I'll just become impatient and only think of Ha-yoon.
That's true.
You must have been trimming the chives. I'll go finish that.
There's a reason why rich people are rich.
Eun-hee is rich?
Of course she is.
She has a rich heart. She has a son. She has a lover, too.
All you have is a lover.
Would you like to have a son?
What did you say?
Goodness! You always twist things the wrong way!
My goodness. Your nostrils always flare up when you like it.
What the heck?
Mommy!
Are you sick?
Nope.
Mommy, when are you coming to pick me up?
Just wait a little bit, sweetie.
Until I come for you, you need to eat well, sleep well,
and be healthy. Okay? Don't worry about anything either.
Okay, but these days, I can't fall asleep.
I think I'll be able to sleep well if you read to me.
Should I do that then?
Okay, I'll record myself reading a book and send it to you.
What book should I read for you?
"Crybaby Cloud." Read that for me, mommy.
All right. Listen to it with Yu-ri, okay?
Okay. I love you, mommy.
I love you, too.
My mommy said she'll come pick me up soon.
Until then, you need to obey grandma and not cry, okay?
Okay.
But it seems like Mommy Ja-kyung is going to keep staying here.
Because of the trial.
What's a "trial?"
I don't know.
- But Ha-yoon, don't tell Auntie Ja-kyung about Auntie Eun-hee. - Okay.
Yu-ri, when I go to my mommy, do you want to come with me?
I need to live with my mom.
I see.
Yu-ri!
Cha Yu-ri! Where did she go?
What is it?
You need to hurry up and get ready. We have dinner plans.
I just want to stay home with Ha-yoon.
You can't. There's someone who wants to see you.
The more glamorous your hair is, the more he'll like it. You know
that hairstyle that looks like you got hit by a bomb? The wild curls?
Your make-up should be dark, and your skirts should be short.
- Girl crush style, you know? Like those leather pants that stick onto you! - Really?
What do think? Will Wang-sung like this?
I styled myself as you told me to. Do I look strange?
Wow...
Of course not! Wang-sung will love it!
This is his favorite style!
Really?
S-so-won...?
Where should we go for dinner? Have you decided?
I'm not sure...
What do you like, sweetie? I'll buy you whatever you want.
I don't have much of an appetite today. Besides, I have something to do with my mom.
Do what?
Then we'll go by ourselves, Wang-sung.
Sure...
You're immature.
She must have really believed me! How could she come here looking like that?
All people are kind.
You're the weird one for pulling such a joke on her.
Is that so?
But that lady must really like Uncle Wang-sung lot. I pity her.
Why would you pity her?
Hey, your sister will be done soon. Go and buy a latte. She seemed
really tired today. She was at the courts and filming dramas today.
Okay.
Hey. Are you sure you don't have to wear that cast anymore?
Yes. The cast did what it was supposed to do and died an honorable death.
What are you saying?
You must really be close friends with Eun-hee, seeing how you came to the courts.
Where is the wind coming from?
Why are you ignoring me-
Where do you think you're grabbing?
I just-
Why do you keep acting like you know me? I told you we're over. The end! Got it?
Do you still not remember?
Oh my god. You're driving me crazy. What the hell am I supposed to remember?
Oh, you didn't wear the cast. You wanted me to remember how you
deceived me with it, right? I remember it all very clearly!
You backstabber! You fraud with no conscience!
Do you really not remember or what?
One Night Motel.
Gosh! What the hell do you think you're doing?
- One Night Motel! - What? W-What motel?
One Night. The name of the motel that we went to together.
What are you talking about? Where did I go with you?
You and me go One Night Motel. Okay?
Where am I?
You remember, don't you?
No! I don't know anything! I don't know anything at all!
- I would know since we went together. - I said I don't know!
Hey. I told you to go buy coffee for Ja-kyung. What are you doing here?
I'm going.
Think about it carefully. When you remember, call me. Okay?
What the hell is wrong with him?
You're the one who delivered the spicy beef stew to our house, right?
Huh? Yes...
Goodness. You must really like Gwang-soo a lot,
seeing that you followed him all the way here.
Me?
This is my workplace!
Oh, you work here?
I see. The two of you fell for each other here, right?
I told you that's not the case! What kind of ridiculous story are you making up?
All right, fine. It's not true, but why do you have to yell?
I was trying to be nice to you, but you have no manners.
That damn family only speaks their mind and won't listen to what others say!
Oh my god! Unbelievable!
The name of the motel that we went to together.
You and me go One Night Motel.
No. No way.
- That's ridiculous. - One Night Motel.
- No, no, no! - The name of the motel that we went to together.
One Night Motel.
No way.
Why do you keep hanging out with that kind of wench?
What do you mean? What's wrong with her?
She's so charismatic and cool.
Whatever. She's rude. She didn't even say hello
to me. She didn't lower her eyes either.
My goodness. Are we the mafia? Why must she lower her eyes?
And she has such big, beautiful eyes.
I think she's the most beautiful when she glares at me from the front.
Goodness! Come to your senses! I hate those kind of wenches!
It's my choice.
Hey, come here and drink this so that you won't be tired.
Hey. You've been living next to your beautiful sister
your whole life. Raise your standards, will you?
She's a hundred times more beautiful than Ja-kyung.
What nonsense.
Oh my goodness. He really must be blinded by love.
What's going on?
I don't know! Gwang-soo is dating some bizarre wench lately!
Every time I meet her, she attacks me, like she's a fighting chicken!
Gwang-soo has a one-sided crush on her.
- What? - If she liked Gwang-soo, would she attack you?
She's doing it because she doesn't like him but he's following her around.
Don't worry. It's game over if the woman doesn't like him back.
I hope that's true. I want to be blessed with a good daughter-in-law, too.
- Blessed with a good daughter-in-law? - I think I'm blessed with a good son-in-law.
That's why I'm hoping I'll be blessed with a good daughter-in-law, too.
Blessed with a good son-in-law? Yeah, right. I really don't want to go.
Just dampen your mother-in-law's ardor and live there. It's temporary anyways.
The trial will end soon.
Suk-jin's mom will never change, and she'll never stop giving me a hard time.
"The Crybaby Cloud cried easily."
Nose.
- Gosh! - Why aren't you reading? You said it was for Ha-yoon.
Because of you. Why are you suddenly blowing your nose?
Was it too real? Okay, letâs do it again then.
Don't over exaggerate.
All right. All right.
"The cloud on top of the mountain is Crybaby Cloud."
"The father didn't look back. He just kept walking gruffly."
- "The mountain..." - It's my mommy.
"The cloud on top of the mountain is Crybaby Cloud."
Wow! Auntie Eun-hee is good at reading books!
"He cried because he was angry."
"He cried because he was sad."
That's my Auntie Myoung-sun. She's the funniest person in the world.
I want to listen to it, too.
"The Crybaby Cloud cried over and over again."
I can't believe I have to do this.
Mother, I'm home.
Hi. Good job today.
Thank you.
Is this what I should make you for breakfast?
Just act as you've done before. You don't need to make an effort.
When the trial is over, we won't be seeing each other anyways.
She's so ill-mannered.
Thanks.
I didn't do much, so what are you so happy about?
- Still. By the way, my mom made your breakfast... - I saw.
Just tell her to act like before. It just makes things even more awkward.
Ja-kyung, that's the way my mom shows her love.
Love? Yeah, right.
Don't mock her. It's the truth.
What the hell is this?
(Director Seo Suk-jin and Actress Kim Ja-kyung seems
to have entered the end of their marriage)
Why? What is it?
Look.
Gosh! How did they know I was there?
People and their imaginations...
- I'll put up an article to explain everything. Don't worry.- I'm so annoyed.
Would this be enough for you?
I just need coffee.
Ja-kyung, my mom made an effort to make this for you, so please eat some.
If she gave in first, you should at least pretend to come around.
Remember you saw my gift for you and said,
"Don't try to be sincere. I gave my son to you?"
- Yes. - I'll return those words right back to you.
I think I've done everything I can just by moving back into
this house and staying by Suk-jin's side during the trial.
You can eat the salad.
Mom.
Forget it. Stop it.
How can she speak that way to you when you're her mother-in-law?
Since my son is a half-wit, I need to become a half-wit, too. What else can I do?
She's a toothless tiger now.
She's totally powerless.
Mi-sook, give me a cup of coffee.
What?
Are you happy making mom into an empty shell?
Last year, you were the one who upset her the most.
That's why I'm saying this. So you can become mature.
I'm maturing. Why can't you when you're so smart?
Can't you see how her insides are emptying?
- Kim Ja-kyung and Seo Suk-jin are getting a divorce. - Really? They just got married.
I know.
There's an article about Kim Ja-kyung and Seo Suk-jin getting a divorce.
What?
Really?
What's this? It's true.
Who the heck takes photos like these? They're so talented.
I know. Hold on.
This is the wrong article. They had gone to court for
Ha-yoon's trial. There must have been a misunderstanding.
Oh, no wonder.
Did you not sleep last night? Why do you keep yawning?
I know. I feel a bit under the weather. I should stretch.
Good idea.
These are vitamins.
Take one a day. Don't forget. Okay?
Stop yawning anywhere anytime.
Take care of your body.
You're so darn skinny.
What the heck?
The article is incorrect, so you should correct it.
We didn't go to court for divorce.
The reason?
Fine. I'll tell you.
It absorbs into the skin quickly.
Please include as many active components as possible that are good for the skin.
No matter how much the marketing team boasts of how good the product
is, if it isn't effective, it'll just be ignored by the consumers.
Sure. Our current goal is to include as many of those active components as possible.
Sounds good.
Will I be able to check the marketing proposal next week?
Yes, I'll report it to you.
(Im Eun-hee, adoptive mother of child actor Seo Ha-yoon, used
him as hostage to demand money from his biological parents)
I heard you needed this document.
Thanks.
- What? - Did you see the article?
Yeah, on my way here.
The media manipulation is only temporary.
Once the trial ends well and we bring Ha-yoon, people will figure out the truth.
Seo Suk-jin and Kim Ja-kyung won't give up their child so easily.
Just doing a trial won't work. We need to bring them down once and for all.
Why didn't Eun-hee ever fight back?
So-jung...
that's why...
What?
I want to get permission from father to officially announce Eun-hee as my fiance.
I don't want her to be known as a pathetic woman who raised their abandoned child.
I want her to be in an honorable position. If I want that to happen-
We need to tell father that we're sisters.
That way, he'll quickly make up his mind.
I'm sorry.
- I want to be against your dissolution, but... - No.
Things will start to work out once Eun-hee and my relationship becomes clear.
All right.
Thanks.
She's my sister.
I'm going to go see Eun-hee right now. Do you want to come?
Right now?
I'm just so frustrated.
I have no idea why she let them get to her.
To be honest, I want to tell her to give up on Ha-yoon.
Why would she get married to you with their child?
That means he'll become dad's grandson. I'm against that.
What's with that smile?
Does it mean, "You're still young?"
No. It's because it's so like you.
It's good to see that side of you again.
She'll never do it.
Why not?
Because Ha-yoon is you.
Me? No way. Why am I Ha-yoon?
To Eun-hee, Ha-yoon is you.
After we lost you, we thought we were losing Eun-hee, too.
- Really? - Yeah.
I've never seen such a strong eleven-year-old before.
She would neither eat or go to school.
Back then, I really thought she was going to die.
The director had to hold her down to force her to
get an IV shot and barely managed to save her.
After that, all she did was take care of the kids in the orphanage and study.
And that's how she ended up meeting Ha-yoon.
So that's what happened.
No matter what you say, Eun-hee can't give up on Ha-yoon. She won't.
Why can't we get in touch with our dad?
I know. Those parent jerks just give birth to kids and abandon them-
I wasn't talking about your dad.
Giving birth and abandoning them is the same
thing as going bankrupt and abandoning them.
I remember how you said "parent jerks."
The two of you look alike when you smile.
My dad said we look like our mom.
Lucky. I don't know who my parent jerks are.
What are "parent jerks?"
When you curse a bad guy, you call them a jerk.
- Don't listen to her. It's a bad word. - Are you making me into a fool?
I thought you were a gangster.
She is.
Gosh, you're so annoying.
You remember that, so it means you remember everything.
It's so cold. I think they came and went back home-
Oh, Eun-ah.
What brings you here?
- She came because she has something to tell you. - Not anymore.
Myoung-sun told me not to do it.
What is it about?
I wanted to tell you to stop the trial and give up on Ha-yoon.
I can't do that.
I know. I heard the explanation.
Gun-woo, let's go see dad.
I'm shocked you want me to publicly announce
Eun-hee as Gun-woo's fiance through the company.
But why are you bringing that up?
Father.
What?
What's going on?
Eun-hee is So-jung's older sister.
Eun-hee is the family that So-jung found.
W-what did you say?
(Person Who Gives Happiness)
You'll always be my dad.
I'm upset. I want to at least live with you until you get married.
I want to express my gratitude to your father today.
Don't worry. My father knows.
- Lee Gun-woo. - Seo Suk-jin, don't mess with my woman anymore. It's a warning.
- Can we win the trial? - I'm not sure.
We heard there was a video of Ja-kyung's mother abandoning Ha-yoon.
I saw it. It's definitely around.
I'm worried about Ha-yoon, but I'm worried about you, too.
It's like I'm raising two kids.
