(Episode 65)
What is it that you want to tell me?
The thing is...
Eun Sung.
Dad.
Stop dragging it out and just say it.
What?
Right.
Well, actually...
Your sister and brother have...
a biological mother who is not your mom who raised you all.
What?
What does that mean?
A biological mother who isn't Mom?
I got divorced 30 years ago...
and remarried your mom.
And then, we had you.
Your sister and brother are...
They're your dad's kids from his previous marriage.
What...
You're dad's second wife?
So, we have different biological moms?
Eun A, Eun Hyuk, and I?
Come on. That doesn't make any sense.
So... Eun Sung.
I mean...
I mean, how could we have different moms?
Eun A, Eun Hyuk, and I are all Mom's kids.
The only mom we have is Ko Chun Young.
Well... Eun Sung.
Mom. It's not true, right?
Eun A.
It's not true.
What do you mean, you have another mom out of the blue?
Our mom is right here.
We're all her kids, and we're all family.
Mom. I'm right, aren't I?
Dad!
What is it?
Just go ahead and say it. This is frustrating.
Don't be surprised and listen.
Actually,
you guys have...
an older sister...
and an older brother.
What are you saying?
An older sister and brother?
I have more siblings?
Other than Sun Woo?
I...
remarried your dad...
thirty years ago.
But I have a daughter and a son...
from my previous marriage.
What? Remarried?
A daughter and a son?
Is that really true?
Yes.
But after my divorce, I lost touch with them...
because of unfortunate circumstances.
I've lived apart from those kids for the past 30 years.
But a little while ago,
I finally found those kids.
Is that true?
You have...
a daughter and a son?
I have an older sister and an older brother?
That's right.
It may come as a surprise, but everything your mom told you...
was the truth.
No way. A daughter and a son, all of a sudden?
A sister and a brother?
Sun Ju.
No, this isn't right. It's not like this is a drama.
- Sun Ju. - You're joking, right?
You're trying to tease us, aren't you?
Are there cameras hidden somewhere?
Are you shooting a reaction video or something?
It makes no sense.
How could you be remarried and have other kids than us?
Two kids at that!
Sun Ju. We need to talk. Follow me upstairs.
No, I'm going to stay here.
I have a lot to ask and figure out things with Mom.
I told you to follow me!
Dad.
Sun Ju, go upstairs.
I can't think straight with you here.
Sun Woo.
I'll reason with Sun Ju.
Don't worry too much.
Sun Woo.
Then...
was I the only one who didn't know...
when Eun A and Eun Hyuk knew about it?
That you had another mom?
No, I only found out recently too.
Eun A must've had some memories of our biological mom, though.
I did have some faint memories,
but we lost touch with our biological mom,
so I had just forgotten about her.
I thought of Mom as my real mom...
and buried my memories of my biological mom for 30 years.
But...
your sister and brother's biological mother...
came to find them for the first time in 30 years.
When I got divorced,
your sister and brother were going to live with their biological mom.
But because of unfortunate circumstances,
we lost contact.
I guess she saw me on TV...
and found your sister and brother just now.
She had been desperately searching for us all this time.
For 30 whole years.
Eun Sung.
Can I go to my room?
I just don't know what to think right now.
My head is a mess.
Right. You will need some time to get your thoughts straight.
I'm sorry to tell you these things all of a sudden.
Then, I'll head to my room.
Oh, no.
She must've been very surprised.
I was so shocked when I first this too.
I'm sure it's even worse for Eun Sung.
I'll go and see how she is.
Wait. Just leave her alone.
Nothing will get through to her now anyway.
Eun A and Eun Hyuk have...
another biological mom?
They have...
a different mom than me?
Sun Woo.
Then have you been searching for your kids...
for the past 30 years?
We didn't know about it,
but you've been longing for them for the past 30 years?
Yes.
They're my kids too.
But I always cared about you guys.
Your brother, sister,
you, and Sun Ju...
You're all the same to me.
So,
if you could just understand me a little...
I'm sorry.
My head gets it,
but my heart...
I still need some time to sort things through.
Sun Woo.
No way.
How could Mom have other kids besides me and Sun Woo?
No, I don't like it.
I just want me and Sun Woo to be you and Mom's kids.
Goodness, kiddo.
Who said you weren't our kid?
Kang Sun Ju.
You're my daughter.
You're Kang Ki Seok's daughter, through and through.
But Mom has other kids.
Then, we have to share Mom with them.
I don't want to.
I don't need any other siblings other than Kang Sun Woo.
I'm only going to live with our family.
Goodness. You're still a little kid, aren't you?
You're only the size of an adult,
but you still have a lot of growing up to do.
Dad, what am I supposed to do?
This situation is just too hard for me.
I just wish it were all a dream.
When I wake up, I wish it would all return to normal...
as if nothing ever happened.
Sun Ju.
You have me, your dad. Don't worry about a thing.
Even if Mom has other kids,
nothing will happen to you, and nothing will change.
Because you will have me by your side.
Okay?
You're going to keep that promise, right?
You'll always stay by my side, right?
Of course.
You're my daughter.
Dad.
My goodness.
Goodness. Yes, my daughter.
My pretty Sun Ju. Don't cry.
There. Stop crying. It's okay.
Will Eun Sung be okay?
Her face turned as white as a sheet.
I know.
She seemed so shocked.
I mean,
if I had been in her position,
I would've had a hard time accepting it too.
She didn't doubt a thing...
and grew up with her older sister and brother,
but they have a different mom.
Eun Sung always liked and got along with her siblings.
She still does.
That must be why she's so shocked.
Oh, my heart aches.
Because of something the parents did wrong,
the kids have to suffer.
Gosh, I know.
How is Sun Ju?
Well, she's as you'd expect her to be.
No. I think she's a little worse than that.
It must feel like a threat to her that you have other kids.
She must be anxious that she might lose her mom.
From Sun Ju's perspective, it would seem that way.
She wouldn't have even imagined anything like this.
To hear that she has half-siblings...
Seeing her in such shock makes me feel sorry to her.
I'm sorry to you too.
I already knew about everything.
You don't have to mind me as well.
We'll have to console the kids well.
We don't want them...
to act out because of this.
Tomorrow,
I'll see how Sun Ju feels...
and talk to her once more.
What about Sun Woo?
He's calmer than Sun Ju,
but he does seem surprised too.
Of course, he would be.
His mom practically dropped a bomb on him.
Oh, right.
This month's utility bill.
Gosh.
The utility bill.
(Transaction history, Take this and get lost.)
Fifteen dollars...
What?
"Take this and get lost?"
What's this?
Mom, is the food ready?
Hey. I just need to make the soup.
But take a look at this.
There was 15 dollars deposited into the cafe's bank account.
The person who sent the money is "Take this and get lost."
What? "Take this and get lost?" Take what and get lost?
I don't know that either.
It says the deposit was made yesterday.
Did any of the customers pay with a wire transfer?
No. I didn't get any wire transfers.
Was it perhaps Grandpa?
What?
Father.
Did any of the customers pay with a wire transfer yesterday?
No, I only take cash or cards.
The account is under your name.
I can't check it, so I don't recommend it to customers.
It's such a hassle.
Then, who...
Gosh, Sun Ju...
That 15 dollars is from Sun Ju.
Eun Sung.
Are you okay?
What? Oh, yes.
I did have some memories of my mom,
but I was really surprised when I heard...
that she had found us.
But as time went by, I came to accept it.
It must be confusing for you now,
but it's not like we can do anything about it.
Who's calling so early in the morning?
Hey, Min Guk.
What?
"Take this and get lost?"
I never sent that to your mother.
I paid the part-timer for my coffee...
What? Then, did the part-timer...
Min Guk, hang up now.
I'll talk to the part-timer and call you back.
What on earth did she do?
Gosh.
No.
I don't want a brother or a sister.
Gosh, why is she calling me this early in the morning?
She doesn't even know the situation I'm in.
Gosh.
Hello?
Hey, part-timer. What on earth did you do?
What did you write under the sender's name...
when you transferred my payment to Min Guk's mom?
Is that why you called me at this hour of the morning?
I passed on your exact words as you wanted me to.
What's wrong with that?
Why would I want to tell her to "Take this and get lost?"
I said that to you.
I said that was for the price of coffee,
but you sent me those words to my account.
That means you wanted to say the same thing to my boss.
"Take this and get lost."
Hey, part-timer.
Are you trying to put me in a pickle on purpose?
So, are you being pickled now?
Hey, you crazy psycho!
I've never seen someone more ridiculous than you.
Someone like you, who does however she pleases...
You must find me quite fascinating, but you can see more of me later.
I have a serious situation going on, so I'll have to go now.
Hey. Part-timer!
What on earth is wrong with her?
She thinks she's untouchable.
Gosh, I'm seriously worried that my sister might be someone like her.
If a girl like this were my sister, I would just...
Goodness.
Gosh, who is it?
Eun Sung's friend. The part-timer at the cafe.
I don't know what she has against me,
but everything she does gets on my nerves.
Why would you have any beef with the cafe's part-timer?
That's what I mean.
There's no reason for it, but I keep getting tangled up with her.
It's driving me crazy.
Eun A.
Eun Hyuk.
Hey, Eun Sung.
Are you going to work already? Don't you want any breakfast?
Yes, I have a lot of work to do at the office.
Tell Mom and Dad that I went to work.
- Bye. - Bye.
At least eat a bun when you get to work.
Or a triangle gimbap.
Eun Sung must feel awkward to be around us.
That's understandable from Eun Sung's perspective.
She could suddenly feel some distance between us.
Figures.
When I first heard that we had a biological mom,
I was so surprised too.
It takes some time to get comfortable with the idea.
Everything can't be the same as it used to be,
but it doesn't change the fact that Eun Sung is our sister.
Let's take care of her.
Okay. I'll try talking to Eun Sung this evening.
What about Sun Ju?
I think she's awake, but she hasn't come down.
She must want to be by herself.
My goodness.
I explained things to her yesterday so that she'd understand.
I think this matter will take some time.
For Sun Ju...
and for me too.
It's not a small matter.
That you have other kids.
We've lived for over 30 years not knowing about it.
Right.
Of course, it's not a small matter.
For me and for you both.
This happened in the past,
and this is how things are now.
In my head, I get it.
But it's true that my heart is having a hard time accepting it.
That's why Sun Ju is struggling so much too.
Give us some time.
Don't tell us to accept and understand it.
Just wait for us.
Then, we'll start opening up our hearts to it bit by bit.
What? Yoo Eun Sung found out about all of it?
But how?
Ju Ri must've gone around telling people...
that she failed Ms. Yoo.
She asked about it, already knowing the answer.
It made my face flush.
But why? You haven't done anything wrong.
I felt like I played a part in Ms. Yoo not getting cast.
Gosh, if only I hadn't listened to Ju Ri and made that report...
It's not like you made up stuff that wasn't true.
You just did your job as an employee of a film company.
It was Director Hwang who didn't cast Ms. Yoo.
It wasn't us.
Have you given it some thought?
What to do about Yang Ju Ri and Han Si Heon, I mean.
You can't let them get away with things this time.
That's right.
Because of Yang Ju Ri and Han Si Heon, my chance...
What?
Yes?
Did you ask to see me, sir?
Yes, come and have a seat, Eun Sung.
Okay.
Let me get straight to the point.
You decided not to apply for the "Hidden Memory" audition, right?
Well, yes.
There are many people who are concerned...
and worried about this.
I thought it was for the best of the film...
for me to contribute to the production as a crew member.
Well, I'm not sure if that's the case.
An actress contributing as part of the production crew?
What do you mean by that?
I want you to apply for this audition too.
From what I can see, your image is perfect for...
the role of Ye Won.
What? The role of Ye Won?
Yes. Ye Won's will to shed light on the truth until the end...
is perfect for your steadfast and clever image.
Well, yes. Thank you so much for thinking highly of me.
But there is a clear reason why I'm not participating...
in the audition.
Fairness?
Don't worry about that.
I'll make sure there's no criticism or negative feedback.
I'll exclude Director Kang from the judging for casting Ye Won.
Gosh, you don't have to do that for me.
As a filmmaker, I'm just trying to cast...
the perfect actress for the best movie.
This isn't for anyone.
Please seriously consider taking part in the audition. Okay?
I need to get a job somewhere...
if I want to rent a small room, at least.
It hurts my pride, but...
Welcome.
We don't find positions...
like department store clerks, personal shoppers,
or home shopping network models for people.
We connect people to jobs like housekeeper,
building custodian, paperhanger, or plasterer.
I get it.
So...
About Ms. Hong's place that you mentioned yesterday.
I'll go there.
Goodness. That post has already been filled.
The working conditions and pay that they offered...
were the best.
Well, except for the fact that you have to live in their home.
What? Live in their home?
Does that mean they provide housing? Like a place to sleep?
It wouldn't be a house but a room.
But sure, you could sleep in it.
Is there any way I could still get that job?
Ms. Hong. Gosh, I feel as if we could be friends already.
That job is already long gone.
That's why you have to grab the chance while you have it.
Oh, no. That sounds perfect. A live-in housekeeper.
Well, then. How about you grab the next chance?
What? The next chance?
Then, is there another position that's as good as Ms. Hong's?
Don't slack off.
From top to bottom. Sweep and mop.
Make it gleam and shine.
Got it?
Yes. I will do my best.
Not your best. Be the best.
A professional doesn't use doing one's best as an excuse.
My gosh.
How is this a better position than Ms. Hong's place?
What? "A chance that's as good as a live-in housekeeper?"
Darn it.
Oh, my.
Oh, no.
Why, you!
Hey.
I just came home for a bit to get some kimchi.
We're out of kimchi at the store.
Okay.
Hey, why are you carrying so many clothes from your room?
Are you going to take all of these to the dry cleaners?
I'll take some to the dry cleaners and throw some away.
I'm cleaning out my closet whenever I get the chance.
Why would you do that?
You already know. Why are you asking?
I said I was going to live with my biological mom.
Eun A.
Why?
Did you think I was joking and wasn't really going to leave?
Eun A. Let's talk.
Talk about what?
I don't have anything to talk about with you.
Eun A.
I've raised you for over 30 years.
- Even if you hate me... - So what if you raised me...
for 30 years?
I suffered for 30 years because of you.
You're the reason why I was raised by you.
Did my biological mom abandon me?
Did she force you to raise me?
Eun A.
Just know that I'm not telling Eun Hyuk and Eun Sung...
why Dad split up with my biological mom...
because it is true that you raised me.
Eun A!
Goodness, she doesn't even know how I feel!
Goodness.
I was so deeply hurt.
I suffered so much.
(Haha Chicken)
You want to meet with Eun A's mom?
Yes. Even if we let her go,
I want to have a conversation first.
What on earth was she thinking...
when she said she wanted to take Eun A?
But you'll only end up feeling hurt if you see each other.
Still, this isn't an issue that we can avoid.
My baby wants to live in someone else's home.
Well, yes. That's true.
Then, should I meet with her? I am the kids' dad.
No, I'll meet with her.
This is a matter for the moms to discuss...
and put an end to it.
You're here.
Why did you ask me to come all this way?
I don't even want to see your face.
And do you think I want to see yours?
What did you say?
Why, you little...
So?
What is this about?
Eun A.
Why do you want to take her with you?
Why else?
Obviously, I want to take her since she's my child.
How is Eun A your child? She's my child.
I've raised her for 30 years.
She's my precious daughter.
What?
Hey, Ko Chun Young.
Why, Sim Jung Ae?
Why do you want to take a grown child now?
I want to hear my kids call me Mom.
I lay awake in bed every night.
Mom's kids...
- Oh, that's hot. - To Eun Sung?
I heard Mr. Kim told you to audition.
So, what will you do?
You're not really going to audition, are you?
Would it be all right for me to try again?
