(Episode 66)
Are you done talking?
Who do you think you are?
Am I wrong?
Are you a mom just because you give birth to them?
Whenever Eun A...
was sick, suffering, sad, or lonely,
I was always by her side.
The person...
who raised Eun A to be a good person was me too.
Do you think I didn't want to raise Eun A?
Do you think I didn't want to comfort Eun A...
whenever she was suffering?
If you and Dong Gu never had an affair,
this would've never happened.
I told you we never had an affair.
- That it was a misunderstanding. - Give me a break.
Aren't you tired of saying that for the past 30 years?
You've been repeating yourself like a parrot.
Aren't you sick of it?
You're...
the same person you were 30 years ago.
You're just as brazen as you were 30 years ago, too.
Fine. Let's put the past behind us.
Why do you want to take a grown child now?
You said you had two kids.
What are you going to do...
if Eun A goes there and becomes a nuisance.
You have a husband too.
I'm her mother.
Do you think I'd bring her home and watch her become a nuisance?
Regardless, it's better for her to be with her biological mom...
than to be with someone who's not even related to her.
Even if we're not related,
for the past 30 years,
we were mother and daughter.
The whole world was jealous of how affectionate...
and close we were.
You're right.
That's why.
That's why I'm saying I'll take her in.
While Eun A called you "Mom" for the past 30 years,
I kept wondering if I would get to see my kids before I died,
or if I would get to hear my kids call me "Mom."
I stayed up all night every night wondering that.
I'm going to take my daughter back now.
Do you...
really have to be this cruel?
You know better than anyone...
how painful it is...
to be apart from your children.
Just know I'm being really forgiving right now.
Compared to what you two did,
I'm a saint.
What I really want to do...
is have you and Eun A cut ties forever.
What?
Sim Jung Ae!
Are you really trying to go all the way with this?
If you are confident, try to stop me.
I'm not afraid of anything.
Sim Jung Ae!
(Haha Chicken)
Honey.
What's wrong?
Did the talk not go well?
Was she adamant about taking Eun A?
Yes.
She said she wanted Eun A to cut ties with me.
She said she wanted to split us up forever.
She said this was nothing compared to what we did.
What?
Cut ties with you?
How could she say that?
She was cruel back then, but she got even worse.
Her face was cold...
as she told me that she was Eun A's mom.
I felt a chill down to my core.
I thought I was going to die right there.
Even still, you raised her for 30 years.
She wasn't willing to budge?
Budge? What do you expect from her?
Sim Jung Ae would never do that.
My gosh. We'd be lucky...
if she didn't spend the past 30 years plotting her revenge...
or wished for our lives to fall apart.
My gosh.
Goodness.
We should bring Eun A in as soon as possible...
since I'm sick of that Ko Chun Young.
(KS Foodville)
Why? What did you guys talk about?
She suddenly called me out,
and she asked me why I was taking a grown child in.
What about her? Why does she want to keep her?
She's old enough to move out.
So? What did you say?
I asked her why she cared if I took my own child in.
That she's not even related to her,
so she should keep her mouth shut.
Why would you say something like that?
What good does it do you to hurt her like that?
Even if it doesn't do me any good,
I'm going to say everything that will upset her.
My gosh. You're so childish.
Even still,
you know Eun A can't move in any time soon, right?
We told our kids about Eun A and Eun Hyuk just yesterday.
They haven't been able to accept that reality yet,
so how can we bring her in?
It'll only cause trouble.
Are you...
against Eun A moving in with us?
I'm not saying I'm against it.
I'm saying there's a process for everything.
Moreover, this is about accepting someone into our family,
so we shouldn't rush it. Don't you think?
They need to meet first.
Right.
Then...
what do you think about setting up a meal with the kids first?
It'd be nice if you joined too.
You're getting ahead of yourself again.
That should come after the kids get settled.
This isn't something that will work just because you push forward.
To Eun Sung?
Yes. I thought she'd be a good fit...
for the role of Ye Won in "Hidden Memory,"
so I told her to audition.
But Eun Sung already put a lot of thought into it...
and decided not to audition.
I know. I also know why she made that decision too.
That's why when Eun Sung auditions,
you can't get involved in the evaluation whatsoever.
That's obvious,
but people who like to talk...
will keep talking behind her back.
They'll nitpick and try to find flaws.
Then don't think about anything and answer me this.
As a director,
what do you think about Yoo Eun Sung, the actress?
Is she not good enough to play Ye Won?
I'd have to see how Eun Sung portrays the role of Ye Won...
to be more accurate,
but her image does fit the character.
Honestly, when I imagined Ye Won,
I was reminded of Eun Sung a lot.
Gosh, then the answer is clear.
Let's see the talent and potential of the actress, Yoo Eun Sung,
through this audition. Okay?
What? Mr. Kim asked you to audition?
Yes. I figured you'd find out soon enough,
so I'm telling you in advance.
Why would he do that? Why would he ask you?
He said that I fit the image of the character of Ye Won.
You're not really going to audition, are you?
I'm thinking about it.
He told me he'd make sure there was no unfairness in the audition.
And more than anything,
I want to participate in this movie as an actress.
What are you saying?
I wanted to participate in the movie as an actress,
but I thought I should put that aside for everyone's sake.
But now,
the situation has changed since I made that decision.
I was really disappointed when I missed my chance...
to be in Director Hwang's movie.
Ms. Yoo. Director Hwang's movie...
I'm going to think about...
whether or not I'm going to audition,
and I'll let you know first once I make a decision.
No way.
How could Mom have kids...
besides Kang Sun Woo and me.
Sun Ju!
Oh, my! It's hot!
Gosh.
Gosh, I'll clean it up.
Oh, dear...
Goodness.
Did you burn your hand? Are you okay?
Yes, I'm fine. I didn't get burned.
As long as you're here, I'm fine.
That's good.
Are you sick?
Your face is red. It looks like you have a fever.
What? No.
I'm not sick.
I'm just... How should I put it?
I feel fluffy.
Fluffy?
Yes. I feel soft,
ticklish,
and nauseated...
Fluffy,
soft,
nauseated...
How funny.
Don't smile like that. My heart hurts.
What?
I made your heart hurt?
Yes.
My heart is working overtime.
What did I do to make her heart work overtime?
He's a total player.
How could my heart beat so fast because of his indifferent smile?
(Haha Chicken, Good Day for Coffee)
Oh, my.
It's cold. What are you doing out here?
Oh, right. I felt a little stuffy.
Oh, right.
You said you liked someone. Right?
Is your face red...
because you were thinking about him?
Well...
Mother, what do you think about me?
I'm pretty cute.
What? What do you mean?
I don't know.
I'm not sure if you're cute.
Take a good look at me. I'm pretty cute.
Gosh. It's not like you can become cute...
just because you insist that you are.
No way. If you look at me carefully...
Oh, my. Why are you getting so close?
I feel uncomfortable.
Oh, my. Goodness gracious.
Gosh, why do you think?
It's because you're Mr. Shin's mother.
What's gotten into my son?
You called me out of the blue.
I heard you didn't eat lunch.
I called you to buy you lunch.
I came because you asked,
but you're acting strange.
Wait. Today isn't a special day.
Well... Even if it isn't a special day,
a son can go on a date with his mom.
What's wrong?
Is it because of what I said to Eun Sung yesterday?
It's not just because of that.
Just...
I'm grateful to you for a lot of things.
After meeting my biological mother,
I came to realize...
that you went through a lot.
It's not easy to raise a child you didn't give birth to.
But you raised not one, but two kids.
Why are you bringing that up now?
That's a given.
When I didn't know I had a biological mother,
I thought that was a given too.
But after I found out,
I came to realize how amazing you were.
How were you able to raise us with so much love?
Without discrimination.
When I...
decided to live with your dad,
the biggest factor...
was you and your sister.
You guys...
kept catching my eye.
Even though life was hard,
I endured it because of you guys.
Because you guys...
were so beautiful...
and lovely.
Thank you, Mom.
Ta-da.
What is this?
It's a necklace!
Oh, my. How beautiful!
Are you giving this to me?
Yes. I'm giving you a token of my love.
A token of your love?
Mom. Thank you so much for raising us...
to this day.
My son...
I'll treat you better from now on.
I'll be steadfast...
and stand my ground as your son.
What kind of dream did I have last night?
I keep getting moved over and over again.
- Are you that happy? - Yes.
Gosh, you can't stop smiling.
All of the stress I received from Sim Jung Ae...
disappeared in one go.
Our son is so affectionate and warm.
I felt like my soul was getting comforted.
Gosh, he takes after me in his good sense.
I'm relieved that at least Eun Hyuk is taking care of you.
Eun Hyuk was always a good son, even as a kid.
He would wake up from his sleep just for me.
And he knew how I felt by just looking at my face.
Yes, you're right.
Our kids really liked you.
Gosh. But what did Jung Ae say? I'm not a mom?
That I have no right because I'm not related to them?
Gosh, what a load of nonsense.
You shouldn't get worked up.
You received a nice gift.
I should take a photo of this and send it to her.
That Eun Hyuk bought this for me to symbolize...
that he'd love me, his mom, forever.
Right? That way Sim Jung Ae will get dejected...
and won't treat me badly.
You're not really going to take a photo and send it. Right?
I know that would make you feel better,
but that puts Eun Hyuk in an awkward position in the middle.
He'll get stuck in between his two moms.
Why would he?
He's not allowed to give his mom a gift?
That's what you might think,
but things are different from Eun Hyuk's perspective.
The material is domestic cow leather,
and it's a rare Korean-made product.
- Gosh, my daughter. - It's very big...
and has side pockets,
- She's always so pretty. - so it's very convenient.
We have red, brown, khaki, and more.
- There are eight different types. - By the way, I expected Eun Hyuk...
to call me first by now.
It's very simple and practical.
But I have to text him first to barely get an answer from him.
So it looks good with everything.
Oh, my. It's Eun Hyuk.
Hi darling.
It's me, Mom.
Hello, Mother. Have you been well?
Gosh, I'm always just thinking about you guys.
Have you been well?
I'm always the same.
You should call me more often.
And ask me to meet you.
I found my son after 30 years,
but you're so distant.
It's so upsetting.
I'm sorry. I wanted to call,
but I still felt a bit awkward.
And I have my mom too.
Why? Is Ko Chun...
I mean, your mom...
Is she against you contacting me?
Did she ask you to keep your distance from me?
No. She didn't say that. I just...
I just feel uncomfortable.
What's there to be uncomfortable about?
I'm your mom. I gave birth to you.
Okay. Let's meet up soon.
I'll treat you to a delicious meal.
Okay. Bye.
What did Ko Chun Young say to him...
for him to be walking on eggshells like this?
Should I take this chance...
to have Eun Hyuk move in too?
My gosh.
Oh, my! I'm sorry.
What are you doing?
What?
Why would you touch my pants with that dirty thing?
Do your job right!
I'm really sorry.
But I barely grazed you.
But if you're upset,
I'll pay for the dry cleaning.
Hey, lady.
The problem isn't the money for dry cleaning.
You ruined my mood.
Do you think some chump change would fix it?
Then what should I do?
Give it.
- Give it to me. - Oh, my.
Why don't you experience it? See how it feels. Here.
Oh, my!
Why are you doing this to a lady?
You look like a gentleman.
What's it to you, old man?
Don't stick your nose in this.
How old are you?
Pebble Welfare Foundation.
Manager Kim Ju Cheol?
What about it? I'm Kim Ju Cheol.
I'm going to go to the foundation to meet your boss.
I'll tell him the CCTV by the stairs captured some interesting footage...
he should check out.
My gosh.
Goodness.
I want to thank you again.
I was able to avoid a dangerous situation thanks to you.
Gosh, that was nothing.
Thank you for this.
Haven't we met before?
What?
We did?
In front of Haha Chicken. Twice.
Oh, right. I remember.
They were filming something there one of those times.
Yes.
What business did you have at Haha Chicken?
Oh, well...
It's a personal matter.
It must be hard to talk about.
Okay. If our paths cross again, we'll meet then.
I'll get going now.
Thank you, sir.
Thank you so much for today!
He's so gentle.
There was no flattery, and he left so casually.
I heard...
that Mr. Kim told you to audition.
Yes. I'm grateful that he saw something in me.
So what are you going to do?
You already decided against it once,
so it must be even harder.
I think that could make it easier to decide.
I made a list of reasons...
for why I should audition and why I should not.
So now I just need to review it seriously.
Regardless of what you decide,
I want you to follow your heart this time.
This...
is your dream and your life. Not someone else's.
Okay.
I will.
This is my life that I'm responsible for,
so I'll listen carefully to what my heart says.
What if Ms. Yoo really auditions?
What if she gets the part?
Ms. Shin.
Can you sign off on this?
Eun Sung, you know that the deadline...
for the audition is coming up, right?
Right.
Dragging this on isn't the answer.
Let's make a decision tonight.
Eun Sung!
Oh, Dad.
What are you doing here at this hour?
Oh, I left my cellphone charger at home, so I came to get it.
I see.
By the way, are you worried about something?
Why do you look so tired?
Oh, well...
The audition?
Mr. Kim asked you to think about it first?
Yes. He said he saw my potential...
during Director Hwang's audition.
He said he wanted to choose the right actors to make the best movie.
That's why he wants me to audition.
I'm grateful to him.
He saw your potential as an actress,
and he had good things to say about your acting talent.
Dad. What do you think I should do?
Should I audition?
What do you want to do?
You must want to audition...
which is why you're contemplating this.
You're right.
To be honest, when I gave up on the audition last time,
I was really disappointed.
I thought it wasn't something I should go after, so I let it go.
But on the inside, I was upset.
Gosh. All things aside,
I wanted to be part of a great movie as an actress.
From the beginning, you said you liked the character...
and the movie itself was interesting.
Yes.
Even though you pretended like you were okay,
I know you were going back and forth.
That's what upset me too.
Dad.
Do you think it'd be okay if I mustered up the courage again?
Should I try again?
Regardless...
of whether or not you try, you'll end up with regrets,
especially if the results aren't good.
Then, you'll end up with more regrets.
But Eun Sung,
as an actress, you always have to try.
Even if you fail or fall,
that's how you progress one step at a time.
(I support your dream.)
("Hidden Memory")
Did Sun Ju say she wasn't going to eat with the family again?
Leave her be.
It seems like she's eating on her own.
Gosh. I'm relieved if that's the case.
Okay.
Why are you looking at me like that?
Haven't you seen a person eat?
You locked yourself up like you'd never come out again,
but that didn't last too long.
Why? Were you going after my throne...
while I locked myself up?
That's nonsense.
Do you feel better now?
- Do you want to go shopping... - Mom.
Did you meet your kids?
What?
Did you meet your kids whom you missed for 30 years?
Yes.
You brat! Watch what you say.
How could you say "your kids?" They're your brother and sister.
What I call them isn't important.
So how was it? Was it nice?
What do you want her to say?
I know you're curious about it too.
Don't you want to know what they're like?
You went out without eating yesterday.
Do you feel better now?
I went out without eating yesterday...
because I had a busy day at work.
Not because I was uncomfortable with Eun Hyuk and Eun A.
Regardless of the reason,
it feels like Eun Sung is back. This is nice. Welcome back!
Eun Hyuk. I didn't go anywhere. Why are you welcoming me back?
I know.
Eun Sung was always here.
Maybe I went somewhere.
Where's Eun A?
Her show ended late,
so she called and told us...
she was sleeping at her coworker's place.
I see.
Eun Sung, you're more dressed up than usual.
Are you going somewhere?
Oh, right. Well, today...
(Cheong Film)
(Apply)
(Your "Hidden Memory" audition application has been submitted.)
Excuse me, Ms. Shin.
I have something to tell you.
Ms. Shin.
I applied to audition for "Hidden Memory."
What?
You did?
I'm sorry for not doing my job as a part of your team,
but I felt like I'd regret it if I didn't try.
I told you that you couldn't.
Even if Director Kang isn't in the audition,
if an employee of Cheong Film auditions,
- it'd be unfair... - That's why...
I'm going to quit...
Cheong Film.
(Resignation Letter)
Ms. Yoo.
You made the right choice.
Thank you so much.
Shouldn't we throw Eun Sung a goodbye party?
What should I do?
Should I meet them?
I know this is hard for you,
but can you understand me?
The person who raised you for over 30 years is Mom.
I don't plan to budge.
Honey. Sim Jung Ae!
