I'll meet Eun A and Eun Hyuk now.
I won't wait anymore.
Eun Hyuk.
Hello, ma'am.
Ma'am?
What's wrong? Is something going on?
Eun Hyuk, my son.
My child.
Why are you crying?
Please tell me what's going on.
He still doesn't know that I'm his mother.
I can't tell him that I'm his mom.
Let me give you a hand, ma'am. Please let me know.
Goodness.
It's all right. It was the wind.
It got into my eyes and made them teary.
I was glad to run into you from a distance.
I see. Right.
If it's all right with you, please use this.
Thank you.
You're here to see my mom, right?
I have to go out briefly, so I don't think I can be there.
All right. You should go.
Yes, have fun with my mom.
My child.
Let's meet again very soon.
Wait.
Everything went wrong because of Jung Ae's sister?
Yes.
She never gave Jung Ae the money...
or told her that we moved to the Philippines.
Why not? Why would Jung Sook do that?
I don't know the details.
It looked like she was after the money.
She didn't give it to Jung Ae and pocketed it.
I can't believe this. So the aunt split up...
her niece and nephew from their mom because of money?
And not for a year or 2, but for a total of 30 years?
Both Jung Ae and I were in shock as we talked.
We both couldn't believe it, so we checked again and again.
My gosh, we had no idea...
and thought Jung Ae abandoned the kids.
We thought she left them...
to get a fresh start with another man.
Jung Ae also thought we ran away with the kids,
and that I did it on purpose not to give them up.
How did this misunderstanding end up causing...
this absurd feud for 30 years?
This isn't something she can mess with.
How can she do this to the children?
It looked like Jung Ae put in lots of effort to find us.
She searched all over the Philippines...
because she had no idea we returned to Korea.
My gosh.
How can Jung Sook do this?
How can my own sister do this to me?
We always ate together, had tea together,
and even talked about Eun A and Eun Hyuk together.
What Jung Sook did is very grave and serious,
but she must've been tormented too.
She probably didn't expect...
her immature decision would end up snowballing like this.
She wasn't that young.
And even if she did this out of immaturity,
she had more than enough chances to bring this up.
If she had told me a little earlier,
I wouldn't have lived...
the last 30 years in this pain.
Yes, I understand how you feel.
I'll never see Jung Sook again.
You need to remember that too.
Even if she reaches out to you, don't accept it...
or dream of contacting her behind my back.
Why won't you say anything?
All right. Fine.
So?
When will you meet Eun A and Eun Hyuk?
Actually,
I lost my self-control after I met with Jung Sook...
and went over to Yoo Dong Gu's neighborhood.
And out on the street,
I ran into Eun Hyuk.
But...
I just couldn't tell him I was his mother.
He thinks Ko Chun Young is his mom.
I thought he'd be alarmed if I suddenly told him.
Yes, I'm very glad.
I know you're in a hurry,
but everything needs to happen in due process.
They'll tell the kids,
and once they're ready...
I had to wait 30 years.
Why is everything so complicated and difficult?
We should tell Sun Woo and Sun Ju too.
They don't know anything.
That worries me too.
This is all too sudden.
I don't know how they'll take this news.
Why aren't you at your work? And why the long face?
I'm going to work soon,
but Mom and Dad seem weird.
What about them?
You always raise questions about everything.
I am quite the curious and exploratory type.
But how can I put this?
I'm sure...
something is happening to our family.
Something big will drop very soon.
You always say something big will drop.
Go to work before your bus gets too crowded.
My gosh.
Look at how arrogant he is.
Just wait and see if I'm right or wrong.
(Haha Chicken, Good Day for Coffee)
Where did she go?
Did she leave home after that fight with her father?
Ha Young.
Where have you been?
Did you take ten laps around the neighborhood?
I wasn't in the neighborhood.
I took the bus and went out for a while.
Where did you go?
I got worried and followed you after letting you go alone,
but you were already gone.
You know.
A strange neighborhood.
Wherever the bus took me.
Here.
Did you have fun at the kids' cafe with Ga Ram?
Yes, he was thrilled.
I'm sorry. I offered to stay at the cafe,
but something happened between me and my dad, so I had to leave.
It's all right. Things happen.
I'll stay outside for a moment.
Please feel free to talk.
Have some tea.
You must be cold from the wind.
Okay.
Were you shocked...
after hearing my father and me talk?
Well, a little.
When I was young,
I had this dream every day.
Should I call it self-hypnosis rather than a dream?
I wanted to build a perfect family that would make others jealous.
And the requirements for the perfect family I wanted...
include both material and mental well-being.
My family is not struggling financially now...
because my late older brother worked very hard.
But we went through a very hard time for a while.
I thought I had nothing.
Neither a mom that everyone else had,
my father's love...
nor material wealth.
When I saw you for the first time,
you seemed poised and full of confidence.
So I thought you had grown up in a wealthy family.
And that you had been loved so much by your parents...
who could provide you with everything you needed.
I only disguised myself so that I could come across like that.
If I looked like such a person on the outside,
I thought I would become one on the inside as well.
But would that work, really?
If you could change your appearance as you wanted,
would you be able to change the inside of you as well?
I believe so.
I have led my life that way until now.
And things turned out pretty well for me.
People try to become happy.
They don't try to look happy, I believe.
If I look happy, I'll become happy eventually.
So I'll make sure to get with a man whom everyone would want to be with.
Only then will my life become perfect, just as I dreamed.
Ha Young.
This may sound presumptuous, but at least once...
I know how materialistic I must seem to you...
and how horrible a person I must seem to you.
But I will...
continue to live my life in my own way.
Not by anyone else's values,
but by my own.
Hey.
Father.
Please have some hot cinnamon punch.
Thank you.
Father.
Are you worried about something?
Actually, something happened that I think was unfair.
As you know, when I appeared on the TV show,
Ms. Chu saw me and called me. Right?
I appreciated her thoughtful gesture,
which was the only reason I agreed to see her.
Wasn't it because you wanted to get with her?
Jin Sil, why must you be like this too?
This is why Ha Young keeps getting the wrong idea.
Ms. Chu kept asking me to have a meal with her,
and I felt it was a little too much.
So I suggested we have some tea instead and took her to the cafe.
I guess Ha Young saw you with her and got the wrong idea.
She probably thought you would start dating again.
Yes, that's exactly what happened.
I have no interest whatsoever in Ms. Chu. All right?
But Ms. Chu suddenly said...
that she was interested in me in front of Ha Young.
Goodness. Ms. Chu causes so much trouble.
She chose to date Mr. Im instead of you,
which broke your heart.
Now that she has broken up with him, she wants you?
My point exactly.
She must have thought I was so easy...
seeing that she wanted to come back to me like a migratory bird. Gosh.
When did Jung Ae say she would see the kids?
Didn't she ask you to let her meet them right away?
Of course, meeting them was the first thing she wanted.
But I asked her to give us some time.
I mean, we have to tell Eun A and Eun Hyuk about her,
and they need some time to prepare emotionally.
We probably shouldn't tell Eun Sung, right?
If she finds out that her siblings have a different mother...
Even so, we can't keep it from only Eun Sung.
When Eun A and Eun Hyuk start seeing their birth mother,
she'll notice something has changed.
No. Still, let's not tell Eun Sung for the time being, okay?
Let's tell Eun A and Eun Hyuk first.
And after they meet their mother, we can tell Eun Sung...
All right, then.
Let's tell only the two of them tonight.
Tonight?
Why? You don't want to tell them?
I do. It's not that I don't want to tell them.
But that's so soon.
I understand how you must be feeling.
But we could put it off for only a day or two, at most.
Jung Ae wouldn't wait for so long. You know that.
We have to tell them one day or another, so let's do it tonight.
Maybe that's best for the kids.
All right.
Let's tell them after dinner.
I want to make something delicious for them.
Okay. By the way...
Do you think they still remember their mother?
Eun Hyuk may not remember her,
but I'm sure Eun A still remembers her.
Even when we were living in the Philippines,
it took Eun A some time to open up to me, unlike Eun Hyuk.
And she held onto the doll...
that her mother had bought for her for a long time.
Then I guess Eun A will be less shocked than Eun Hyuk.
Since she has some memories of her mother,
it must be easier for her to accept her mother back than for Eun Hyuk.
Thank you.
My parents' restaurant appeared on a TV show thanks to you.
Thank you. I'll treat you to a meal sometime.
You don't have to. It was nothing.
Besides, you canceled your plans because of me the other day.
Don't worry about it.
Oh, I heard Show Host Han Yu Jung was getting married.
Did you receive her invitation?
Yes. I met her briefly yesterday to receive it.
She seemed so haggard.
She said she had to handle an unexpected problem...
when she was busy preparing for her wedding.
A problem?
Her birth mother, who had left home ten years before, came to see her.
And she said she would sit in the bride's mother's seat.
What? That's ridiculous.
She has no right to do that. She ran away from home.
I know. It seemed to be troubling her.
Such people have no conscience.
What makes them think they can leave their children...
and come back to be a mom again just as they please?
That's exactly my point.
There are so many selfish people who make things convenient for them.
Hold on.
It's almost the call time. I'll get going now.
(The global home shopping network, Number One Home Shopping)
People have no idea how much an abandoned child suffers.
The child has to live with all those painful memories.
How could she go to see her daughter as if nothing ever happened?
My, look at you. Kang Sun Ju!
Yoo Eun Sung!
Hey, you now look like you're actually working here.
And you look good in that apron.
Of course.
Even though you're my friend,
you can't get free coffee. You know that, right?
Of course, I know that. It's your management philosophy.
But why are you alone? Where is your boss?
Oh, him? Before I arrived,
his aunt and your brother came here, apparently.
And his aunt left her gloves here.
So he stepped out to drop them off.
- Have a seat. - Okay.
You said you had something to tell me when you called me yesterday.
Oh, I forgot.
The thing is... Come closer.
- What? - I...
have a boyfriend.
What? Really?
Who? You didn't get back together with Han Si Heon, right?
A dramatic reconciliation?
Gosh. Why would you bring him up right now?
You know well how my relationship with him ended.
Right? Then who is he? Does he work at the film company?
I doubt it's that haughty director.
It's him? He's your boyfriend?
The snobbish guy who's obsessed with luxury goods?
Come on. My dear director is not a snob.
He's so truthful and thoughtful.
And he wears designer clothes because he can afford them.
It's not because he wants to show off.
You said he was bad-mannered and arrogant before.
Every romance begins with a fight for sure.
So when will you introduce him to me?
Today? How about you ask him to come here?
Well... No. That's too soon.
My dear director is quite shy around strangers.
Gross. "My dear director?"
Jung Ae.
How do you call yourself my sister?
Let us...
never see each other again.
I'm sorry, Jung Ae.
What I've done is unforgivable.
I shouldn't have done such a horrible thing.
I need Dong Gu to tell the kids about me as soon as possible...
so that I can meet them.
Gosh. I'm exhausted.
Dear me.
My arms hurt so much.
I know.
We bought too much food.
Our grocery bags burst,
and my arm muscles are about to burst too.
Oh, man.
We should hurry up and start cooking to cook all this food.
- Okay. - My goodness.
What's all this?
- Hey. - Did you buy the whole supermarket?
Is today a special day?
Yes. Today, our family will have a nice dinner.
Hey, call Eun Hyuk and Eun Sung...
and tell them that I'll cook up a feast today,
so they should come home early for dinner.
- Okay. - Okay.
My gosh, what's all this?
Our table might collapse because of all these dishes.
Father, did you win the lottery?
Or did your secret investment suddenly become a jackpot?
I have no money to invest in anything.
Your mom is in charge of our finances.
Then what could it be? You closed the restaurant too.
Why are we having this heartwarming gathering?
Goodness, there is no specific reason.
We come across a day like this in life.
Yes, she's right.
We never had a day off ever since we started our business.
Your mother said she was strained, so I suggested taking the day off.
I felt under the weather and didn't feel like working either.
You're right. Our chicken place doesn't have a day off.
I understand how tired you two must be.
So you prepared this much food because you needed lots of energy.
Yes, so let's dig in! Okay?
I made japchae, Eun Hyuk's favorite.
I also made braised short ribs, Eun A's favorite.
Yes, Mom. I'll enjoy it.
Let me burn my mom's love deep into my heart.
You always make Eun A and Eun Hyuk's favorites.
But I like everything, so I don't really mind.
This is so good.
Mom, your cooking skills should become a national treasure.
The short ribs melt in my mouth.
It's like ice cream.
Let me try one too.
It disappeared in my mouth.
It melted away, Mother.
Eat up.
This one?
What's this?
Try this too.
Yes, eat up.
Try this one.
I'm so full.
I haven't stuffed myself like this in a while,
without worrying about losing my weight.
Everything was so good.
She made everything we loved.
Japchae, braised short ribs, grilled hairtail, and tofu pancakes.
She left out carrots, the one thing you hate,
even from japchae, where carrots are a must.
That's how considerate she is.
She considered my taste and made it to my preference.
Anyway, don't you think something is definitely going on?
They said they just wanted to take the day off,
but Mom wasn't the type who'd close without a reason.
You're right. I kept thinking about that too.
I hope it's nothing big.
- Mom. - Yes?
Thank you so much for making such a wonderful meal.
Don't mention it. I should cook for you as your mom.
But still, everything was especially delicious tonight.
And it also felt wonderful to eat with everyone,
including Eun A and Eun Hyuk.
Yes.
Eun Sung.
Do you like...
your sister and brother?
Of course I do. They're my sister and brother.
Yes, the three of you got along...
especially well since when you were a kid.
You always went around together...
despite the age difference.
To be frank, they were nice enough to let me tag along.
They were considerate of me.
It couldn't have been fun to hang out with me.
It must've felt juvenile.
But they both...
played home and with dolls every single time.
- They did? - Yes.
Gosh, Eun Sung. You're blessed with such wonderful siblings.
Yes, I got extremely lucky with my family.
I'm not jealous of anyone.
Right, hey.
I forgot to make payments to the liquor company.
Can you run to the restaurant and take care of it?
Right.
- Okay? - Okay.
Hello?
Yes.
Hey.
Sit down.
We have...
something to tell you.
What is it?
Wait, I hope it's nothing bad.
It's nothing bad.
If you think about it, it may be good news.
"Good news?"
But why do you look so serious?
Smile a little if it's good news.
It's all right.
It doesn't matter if it's good or bad.
We can accept anything. We're both grownups too.
Yes, of course.
We can deal with anything, so feel free to tell us.
Well...
Your mother showed up.
My mother showed up? What mother?
Your biological mother.
Our biological mother?
What are you talking about?
Mom, what's Father talking about? My biological mom?
Is he saying you aren't my biological mom?
Mom.
Dad.
Well, Eun Hyuk.
Why did she suddenly show up?
She's not entitled to anything. What gives her the right to show up?
It's been over 30 years. How shameless is she to show up now?
Eun A.
Hey, Eun A.
Why did you suddenly bring up that woman, Dad?
Our mom is right here.
Eun A, please hear us out first.
I don't care. I don't want to hear it.
She's not my mom,
so don't ever bring her up when you're with me.
Eun A.
Mom.
Eun...
Eun Hyuk.
If she abandoned her children, she couldn't be a mother.
Where has she been for 30 years? Why did she show up now?
I can't believe this.
I had another mother?
(Hyewon Police Station News)
(Marie)
Hello?
Jung Ae.
It's me. Ko Chun Young.
Yes, Ko Chun Young, not Marie.
And not Yoon Ji Sook, either.
And you weren't Sophie, but SIm Jung Ae.
And not Sim Mi Jin, either.
Why are you calling me this late?
We should probably meet...
to discuss the children.
"To discuss the children?"
What gives you the right?
I don't know.
Wasn't I more entitled...
to discuss their matter as the one who raised them for 30 years...
compared to you, who weren't around?
- What? What did you just... - That's why...
I'm asking to meet up and talk.
Come to our restaurant tomorrow...
before we open.
How shameless.
It's not like this is my first time here.
But I feel completely different.
Sim Jung Ae is here.
We meet officially for the first time in 30 years.
It has been a while, Ko Chun Young.
Have you been well, Jung Ae?
(Unpredictable Family)
My biological mother showed up after 30 years?
She wants to meet you and Eun A.
Eun A and Eun Hyuk are my children.
Let's go somewhere to shop for a gift for your mother.
I want to win some brownie points with your mother.
By the way, why do you look so downcast?
If you have any questions...
or things you want to know, just ask me.
Don't keep it bottled up.
Dad, I need time to think.
What would we do without you?
You're still Eun Hyuk's and my sister.
Our family won't change a bit.
