(Episode 57)
Pardon me?
Sergeant Lee, you found...
Bit Na?
Did he really find her?
Okay. I'm on my way.
We've gone through this before...
Sergeant Lee.
It looks like you came running.
Is this true?
There's someone whose DNA matches mine?
I've just given her a call too.
She sounded very excited.
She'll be here soon, so please wait for a bit.
See? It's good that you registered your DNA back.
Even if there's bad blood, you're drawn to your blood.
Right. Where does she live?
What is she like?
Well, when will she get here?
Be patient.
You'll find it all out once you meet her.
They found Bit Na.
They've run a comparison,
and it's a match.
I should go there now.
Honey, you should pull yourself together at a time like this.
Get changed first. I'll come with you.
I'm not dreaming, am I?
You're not dreaming. Let's go change and get going.
You shouldn't believe everything you hear...
just because you're excited.
The police station called me. How can it not be true?
Even the DNA almost perfectly matched.
Still.
They say you should look before you leap.
Let's talk later.
I can't hear what you're saying now.
Gosh, darling.
Mom, where are you going?
They found Bit Na.
Really?
I got a call from the police.
They ran a comparison...
and found a girl who matched my DNA.
That's such good news.
Congratulations, Mom.
I think this is the phone for the banner.
Hello.
I heard you were looking for Bong Bit Na.
Well...
If you called the number from the banner...
Yes. I was so surprised when I saw it.
That picture looks just like the one I took when I was a baby.
You have the same picture?
Yes. I have a shoe,
and I think it's the same shoe as yours too.
You have the other shoe?
Who did you live with?
My grandma.
I'd lived with my grandma since I was young. Just the two of us.
Did you happen...
to register your DNA at the police station?
Yes, I did,
but I didn't hear back from them yet.
That's why I'm calling the number on the banner.
If you, the person I'm speaking to now, are my mom...
I'm so nervous.
Can you...
meet with me?
Oh, dear.
Of course, I can.
I've just gotten a call from Sergeant Lee.
He said they found a lady whose DNA matches mine.
Will you come to the station now?
Really?
You're nearby.
I know where that is. It's only five minutes away.
I'll be right there.
Honey, what's going on?
I think it's Bit Na.
No. I'm sure it's Bit Na.
Everything she says is true.
Still, Mom, be careful until you compare the DNA again.
Mom, why don't you meet her at the station?
You can be more sure that way.
Jae Min.
Does that matter now? They have to meet up.
I just got a call from the police that they found a match.
This lady got a call from the police too.
She found someone...
whose DNA matched hers.
My goodness. Then there's no doubt.
Your dream came true!
Mr. Kim.
Let's go.
Mom, I'll see you later.
She just left.
Don't make any mistakes.
Yes, ma'am. This is Sergeant Lee.
Yes. We are waiting for you.
I'm sorry?
Can you delete my DNA information?
I made myself clear.
What are you talking about, ma'am?
You said you were coming.
I was going to,
but actually, my husband and I might get divorced.
And the kids I have with my second husband don't know about my past.
Still...
I thought about it, and since my family is quite wealthy,
it'll get ugly if we get involved financially.
I didn't think it through before.
Ma'am, the lady is here now.
Would you like to talk to her briefly?
No thanks.
I'm not going to meet her, anyway.
Hearing each other's voices will only make things harder for us.
I'd like to forget about it.
Also, please don't give her my personal information.
If you do,
you'll be in trouble for leaking personal information.
I have to go.
Ma'am.
How can she completely change her mind?
Why? Did she hear bad news or something?
I don't know how to tell you this.
Seon Hwa.
You now know how heartless and cold your birth mother is.
Then, give up on her.
Hae Ran must be crying her eyes out, holding her fake daughter.
I find myself strange.
Now that I've re-registered my DNA,
I can't wait to meet my mom.
Sure.
The person who gave birth to you is alive.
Of course, you are curious and want to meet her.
It's all thanks to you.
Thank you for coming with me to the station too.
You don't have to thank me for that.
By the way, do you remember what town you used to live in?
If you go to the town,
there can be some people who remember you.
I used to move a lot, so I don't remember at all.
Right. I think I heard my grandma saying...
she changed her name.
Her old name was Han Young Ja.
Han Young Ja?
I see.
Ms. Han was trying to hide you so that nobody could find you.
Get some rest, Bok Soon. I should get ready to go to work.
Okay.
What should I do?
Seon Hwa,
Grandpa is looking for you.
Oh, okay.
Where did I leave the tangerines?
I went through all that to stop this.
No one should know.
You're right.
Bit Na...
You're really my Bit Na.
Are you...
really my mother?
You said your name was Choi Eun Gyeol, right?
Yes.
I found out my real name was Bong Bit Na later.
My grandmother told me that my real name was Bong Bit Na...
and that she also changed her name before she passed away.
Then,
do you know your grandmother's real name...
before she changed it?
I think she said it was Han Young Ja.
Here.
It's a picture of my grandmother.
Bit Na...
Bit Na.
Mom.
Bit Na.
Mom, I missed you so much.
Oh, my baby. Let me see your face.
This is what you look like.
I see. My baby...
This is my baby.
How can a mother do that?
Seon Hwa.
Couldn't you have been mistaken?
No.
I was right next to him.
How can a mother say that?
I can't understand her.
You're right. I never thought this would happen.
At first, I understood Grandma,
but I resented her a bit as well...
for keeping me apart from my mother.
If she hadn't done so, Grandma's and my life...
could have been different.
I thought that once.
Sure. You're human too. That's understandable.
But...
Grandma was right.
She couldn't possibly allow that woman to raise me.
Just because you gave birth to a child doesn't mean you're a mother.
My dear.
I can't understand how a mother can be that way.
When her daughter wants to meet her mother,
how can she treat her daughter as someone who's after her money?
I no longer have a real mom.
I'll just live thinking that she's dead.
How can she scar me like that?
Okay.
Just forget it all, Seon Hwa. From now on,
I'm your real mom.
Okay?
(Joo Hae Ran, Choi Eun Gyeol)
When will the results come out?
We're kind of in a rush.
Yes. We'll get it done as soon as we can.
Thank you.
Shall we take a look at the idea for the new product Ms. Bong brought?
I prepared a low-carb, gluten-free cheesecake.
Low-carb?
Ketogenic cooking and baking are the trends...
because even those with diabetes or those allergic to gluten can eat it.
Oh, you're right.
What are the main ingredients?
It's made with erythritol instead of sugar...
and a mixture of almond powder and tapioca powder instead of flour.
This is a sample I made.
It tastes as good as regular cheesecake.
It tastes good.
It's delicious.
Director Lee,
in the last quarter,
which facility did our company put the most investment into?
Sorry?
Oh, it's the cake automation facility,
to my knowledge.
Ms. Bong,
how can this low-carb cheesecake be made in an automated factory?
Well...
I think it will require some manual work.
So you're saying it can only be made...
through a batch production instead of an automated one?
Yes, that's correct.
Since this product targets a specific customer base...
Which means the base is very narrow.
On top of that, the price must be high, right?
Of course, it's important to impress each customer.
But if we launch a product that doesn't have a solid revenue model...
and fail to get the outfit we aimed,
who will take responsibility for the loss?
Our company's shareholders...
and employees must take responsibility for it.
Dad, it's still a business our company needs to consider.
If you came to such a conclusion only with this information,
you're unqualified to be a director.
I apologize. I'll collect more information and data.
Remember...
that what's important is the result, not the process.
What's going on?
You hardly call me out first.
I called you because I felt lonely and depressed.
You're the only person I could call.
What happened?
Did something bad happen?
I got abandoned...
by my mother again.
What?
Remember I said my mother was alive?
The police said...
they found someone whose DNA matched mine.
And?
But...
she said she wouldn't come.
How rich can she possibly be?
She said she got married again,
and her children didn't know about her past.
So she wants to live as if I've never existed.
What kind of woman is that?
I hate...
that her blood is running through my veins.
What's wrong with my life?
I got abandoned by my husband,
my child is gone,
and even my one and only grandmother...
left my side.
And now, I'm abandoned by my mom, who's alive.
I'm sorry, Seon Hwa.
I once promised...
that I'd never make you cry ever.
But this is where we ended up.
Sorry.
I'm really sorry, Seon Hwa.
Sang Hyuk.
Although we parted ways,
you still haven't...
driven me away from your heart, right?
That's what I want to believe.
Of course not.
It's been only you who I've ever loved, Seon Hwa.
You are...
my first and last love.
You know that, right?
It's been only you who I've ever loved, Seon Hwa.
You are...
my first and last love.
You know that, right?
It's all ready.
I can't wait to see what face Jae Gyeong will make when she hears this.
She has to feel how painful it is to be betrayed.
Hello?
It's me.
That's right.
Are you sure?
Thank you so much.
Honey.
- They say it's her. - Congratulations.
The test came out that my DNA matches Bit Na's.
Good for you.
I'm really happy for you.
She brought the DNA test results with her.
I went there early in the morning and waited for it to come out.
We also just got a call.
Bit Na.
My Bit Na.
Oh, dear.
Take this.
Pretend you're pulling out your hair and give this to them.
The DNA test must be conducted with this hair.
Do you understand?
Fully enjoy this moment of happiness, Mom.
You won't be able to meet your real daughter forever.
Bit Na, try this.
It's gulbi from Yeonggwang I got recently.
It's not salty but tasty and chewy.
Okay.
You should have some too, Mom.
Just by watching you eat, I feel full enough.
I don't think I'll be hungry even if I starve for days.
Mom, let me remind you that I like gulbi too.
I also like it so much, Grandma.
Oh, dear. My Tae Yang.
I'll get you some. Wait.
Tae Yang, please let it slide just for today.
She's having the first meal cooked by her mom.
By the way, where have you been so far?
Well...
She lives far away,
and she came to meet your grandmother and us.
She'll be living in this house with us.
So I want you to get along with her too.
Mom.
I don't think...
My studio's contract hasn't expired yet.
You'd grown up in the orphanage after your grandma passed away.
And now you're living alone, you said.
You must've longed to have a family.
She's right.
You must've missed Mom so much.
I agree with her too.
You would never know how much she'd lamented,
thinking you were not alive.
But now that she's met you,
she must want to do lots of things with you.
Move in.
There are tons of things I want to do with you, Bit Na.
Of course, I can't make up for the time...
where you'd lived without me,
but I'll do my best to give you everything you want from now on.
That's my wish.
This is where my dream will come true.
I'll build an amusement park here...
and a casino and hotel this side.
I'll also build the finest retirement home.
Then, should we purchase this land?
That'd be nice.
Mother.
Mom wanted to see you.
Won't you tell me to sit down?
Please take a seat.
Mother, if you wanted to talk to me,
you could either call me over or come to my house.
We can't let anybody in here.
Anybody?
Is that how you address me?
It's my workplace.
If you'd visited me when I begged you,
why would I be here now?
Fine. Let me just cut to the chase.
I want to move to a new place,
so I'll need an apartment.
An apartment?
What about your old house?
Why would you move out?
I'll rent out the old house to earn my living.
And I want an apartment under Sang Mi's name.
Mother!
Sir.
I looked into Choi Eun Gyeol, and it was all lie.
Lie?
(The Second Husband)
What is it that I just saw?
You looked happy with Jae Min. What's going on between you two?
You're not jealous, are you?
You know better than anyone that you're the only man in my life.
Do you know about the incident that happened here four years ago?
I heard it was a murder case.
Sang Hyuk, you still couldn't get rid of your old habit?
You hit on me back then, and is it Seon Hwa this time?
Seon Hwa and Sang Hyuk, you two can never be together.
I'd rather kill both of you.
