I didn't want to say this,
but I have no choice.
Do you know why your father and I...
split up?
Because of your mom,
Ko Chun Young.
Your mom...
and my husband had an affair 30 years ago.
Is that true?
Did my mom and dad really...
Do you think I'm joking around because I'm bored?
If you can't believe me,
go ask your parents...
what happened 30 years ago,
why Eun A said she wanted to live with me,
and why Eun A was struggling for a while.
No way.
How could Mom...
How could Dad...
What you know is not everything. There's a reason why...
you two can never be together that you don't know.
That's why Eun A...
Gosh, I'm tired.
Oh, you were home?
Right.
You said that the company wanted you to stay home...
until the controversy subsided.
Yes.
Eun A.
I have something to ask you about.
Answer me honestly.
Sure thing. What is it?
Why did your biological mother and our dad...
split up?
Why are you asking this all of a sudden?
By any chance, was it because of our mom?
Was it because Mom and Dad had an affair?
What are you talking about?
Where did you hear that?
Where did you go earlier?
Did you meet my biological mom?
Yes.
Is it true?
Is what Ms. Sim told me true?
Eun Sung, the thing is...
So it's true.
Mom and Dad...
Eun Sung, it's our parents' matter,
and it has nothing to do with you.
It happened 30 long years ago.
I don't know why my birth mom told you that, but...
Eun A, I'll go to my room.
What?
Wait, Eun Sung. Talk with me for a little longer...
I'm sorry.
What do I do?
I hoped it wasn't true.
I hoped there was a chance that I had misheard it.
Mom, how could you do that?
How could you tell Eun Sung what happened with Mom and Dad?
Did Yoo Eun Sung ask you?
About what happened 30 years ago?
Yes. She couldn't ask our parents about it, obviously.
So? What's wrong with it?
She should know...
why she can't be with Sun Woo.
Mom.
I told her so many times up until that point...
that she couldn't be with Sun Woo, so she should end it with him.
But she still insisted on staying with Sun Woo...
and let rumors about him rigging the audition...
and giving her privilege spread and caused him to make the headlines.
The situation got worse and is now out of control.
Is Eun Sung the only one who's to blame...
for continuing her relationship with him?
Did Eun Sung cling on to him when he didn't like her?
Is that how they have come this far?
You know that's not the case.
- They like each other... - That's exactly why I did it.
Neither of them couldn't seem to end their relationship,
so I told her that to separate them once and for all.
Do you understand?
I wanted to make sure there'd be no lingering feelings,
and she couldn't even dream of staying by Sun Woo's side.
I nipped it in the bud.
Mom, even still, that was wrong.
Then what else could I have done?
Tell me if there's any other solution.
I told them over and over again...
that they could never be together,
but they never listened. They continued their relationship.
What choice did I have?
Even so,
you can't tell someone that her parents had an affair.
Why can't I?
If I could separate them,
I would say anything.
If that were what I had to do to protect Sun Woo.
Mom, Sun Woo isn't the only one who is cherished.
To me, Eun Sung is precious.
(Haha Chicken, Good Day for Coffee)
(Haha Chicken)
What? Eun Sung, what are you doing there?
Hey, Sun Ju.
Aren't you going in? It's cold outside.
Well... I'm going to.
What about you? Are you making a delivery?
Yes. People drink coffee no matter how cold the weather is.
Right. Then go on. I'll see you later.
Okay.
What's with her? She seemed so spaced out.
Did those articles shock her that much?
Eun Sung, why did you come out?
You must've had a long day yesterday because of the articles.
You should've stayed at home to rest.
I just felt a little cooped up.
My dear Eun Sung, shall I fix you something to eat?
Do you want some fried chicken?
That's okay. I already ate.
Then how about I make you some banana juice that you like?
We received some bananas...
from the kalguksu restaurant. They bought a lot, apparently.
Give me a minute.
(Haha Chicken)
Mom.
Yes?
Were you deeply in love with Dad?
Well... This is unexpected. What do you mean by that?
I mean, before you got married.
Did you love Dad very much?
That's probably why you married him.
Oh, that...
Why? Are you curious about it?
Yes.
I wonder what you two were like...
when you were younger.
I liked your dad very much.
I loved him.
But I decided to marry him...
for a bigger reason.
What was the reason?
Your sister and brother.
I couldn't stop thinking...
about your siblings.
Because I was so sorry...
to them.
Why were you sorry to them?
Well...
Here's banana juice that you like, Eun Sung.
I sorted out the well-ripened ones to make this.
It should be sweet and tasty.
Thank you.
So...
Are you two happy now?
Sorry?
What are you talking about?
Are you two happy that you got married?
Why are you asking such a question suddenly?
Is something going on?
No. It just crossed my mind while I was chatting with Mom.
Of course, we've been happily married.
Your mom and I also went through hard times after we got married.
But it hasn't been bad.
We had you, our pretty daughter.
And your sister and brother grew up well.
I see.
I understand.
You've been happy.
It hasn't been bad.
You got rejected twice in a row by the cafe owner?
Yes, even though I said "Ana bahebak" twice, not just once.
What? "Ana ba..."
What does that mean?
It means "I love you" in Egyptian Arabic.
Egyptian Arabic? Why would you say it in that language?
There are many other languages in which "I love you" sounds better.
It's not "enaba" or "anaba."
"Anabahi?"
It's "Ana bahebak." It's special.
Would there be any other women who confess their love in Egyptian?
Or Hungarian?
The way I see it, that was why you got rejected.
I bet you ruined the mood by saying "anabahi."
That's not it. There was nothing wrong with the way I confessed.
It's just that there's someone besides Mr. Shin...
who tries to stop us from falling in love.
Stop you from falling in love?
Yes. It's Mr. Shin's mother.
When she saw me approaching Mr. Shin,
she told me not to seduce him.
She said there was someone else who should be with her son.
Then I guess you should find out who that woman is immediately,
and then you should win his mother over.
Right. I guess I should do that.
I've seen the cafe owner only a few times,
but he seemed so meek.
I could tell he would do everything as his mother said.
Really? If that's the case, I need to win his mother over first.
But the problem is how.
Ta-da. I brought some flower cakes that you like, Ms. Maeng.
I spent the rest of my lunch break going to buy these.
I mean, I do like flower cakes,
but you shouldn't have come unannounced like this.
Goodness. Who on earth let her in?
I let her in.
Ga Ram, even when you see someone you know at the door,
you should ask me before you let the person in...
Jin Sil.
Since she's here,
don't be so cold toward her.
She even brought flower cakes because you like them.
How thoughtful of her. Don't you think so?
Well... That's true.
But I don't appreciate how she came unannounced.
Oh, by the way, how did you know that she likes flower cakes?
Oh, that. I heard it from Mr. Shin and remembered it.
He said that Ms. Maeng preferred sophisticated and elegant things...
- even when she chose food. - Gosh.
Such a compliment like that won't help you win me over.
But why don't you approve of me?
I'm pretty useful.
I'm like a bulldozer,
so I win most arguments.
I'm pretty crazy,
so I'm not afraid of the world.
That's why I don't like you.
You'll crush sweet Min Guk with your overly strong energy.
Not at all. In front of Mr. Shin, I'm just a sweet little lamb.
Little lamb, my foot.
What kind of lamb is that aggressive?
So reckless?
Then who is the person that should be by Mr. Shin's side?
The person you approved of?
It's probably Eun A.
Grandma really likes Eun A.
Eun A?
Do you really like Eun A?
That problematic customer?
Do you know why your father and I...
split up?
Because of your mom, Ko Chun Young.
Of course, we've been happily married.
Your mom and I also went through hard times after we got married.
But it hasn't been bad.
Hello?
Director Kang.
Eun Sung. What are you up to?
I stopped by the restaurant...
and then came back home.
Mother and Father must be very worried about us.
Well, yes.
But they believe things will work out...
because we're innocent.
They're right. We had a fair audition.
Oh, right.
I'm going to have a press conference tomorrow morning.
Oh, has that been decided on?
Yes. Mr. Kim thought it'd be best for me to speak up...
since the rumors aren't quieting down.
After the press conference,
we'll be an official couple.
An official couple?
Yes. It's like we're getting approval from the world.
Of course, our parents will object.
What's wrong?
Are you feeling worried that the whole world...
will know about our relationship?
Because we won't be able to take it back?
It's not that.
Eun Sung. Do you want to meet after I'm done with work?
Yes.
I want to see you too.
See you later.
So Eun Sung found out about everything?
About why her parents split up 30 years ago?
Yes. I'm embarrassed to tell you,
but I'm telling you because I'm worried.
I don't have anyone else to consult with,
and Eun Hyuk doesn't know about this yet.
Eun Sung already has a lot going on.
She must be having a hard time.
But she still asked you not to say she found out...
so your parents won't worry?
Yes.
That's what I'm trying to decide on.
Whether I should stay quiet or not.
If Eun Sung asked you to do so,
you should do as she says.
I don't think it will solve anything if your parents find out,
and the same for Eun Hyuk as well.
Do you think so?
I think it'll only make things worse.
If your parents find out,
they'll run over to your biological mother's house,
and they'll fight again.
And Eun Hyuk will be shocked again.
You're right. It won't help anyone.
Gosh. Why did Mom say that to Eun Sung?
Eun Sung didn't do anything wrong.
This must be really tough for you.
You're stuck in the middle, unable to do anything.
When I was young,
I thought I'd be happy...
once Mom came back into my life,
but things have gotten more complicated...
since she showed up.
Why are things so messed up and difficult?
Why is Yoo Eun Sung not saying anything?
I get that she was shocked earlier,
but she should respond...
to me telling her to break up with Sun Woo.
What?
Hello?
Mother. This is Yoo Eun Sung.
Eun Sung.
Director Kang.
Were you waiting for long?
No. I just got here.
Why did you ask me to come here?
Are we taking pictures?
Yes. I wanted to take commemorative pictures with you.
I think pictures taken here turn out really nicely...
because they have lots of cute clothes,
nice lighting, and a pretty space.
Now that I think about it, I never shot a video of you,
despite being a director.
We can do that later. Let's take pictures today.
I want to have pictures of your handsome face to cherish.
Director Kang.
Eun Sung.
Ta-da.
Eun Sung. You look so pretty.
I knew you were pretty,
but I thought you were an angel just now.
You look great too, Director Kang.
I knew you were handsome,
but I'm almost blinded by you now.
I think I've already gone blind.
Don't we look like bride and groom...
since we're dressed up like this?
Bride and groom is going a bit too far.
No, I'm not.
We obviously look like bride and groom.
You're pretty like a bride.
Then I'll be your bride for today.
Then am I your groom...
for the day?
I'll take the picture now, Eun Sung.
I'll take it on the count of three.
One, two, three.
You need to look forward.
Look forward.
One, two, three.
I'll take another one.
One, two, three.
Gosh. We look so nice.
Why aren't you giving me any of the pictures?
We printed two. Why are you keeping both?
Why does it matter who keeps them?
Me keeping them is the same as you keeping them.
And you keeping them is the same as me keeping them.
Then give it to me so I can keep them.
That's not fair. It was my idea to take the pictures.
You can keep them.
I can just see you in person every day.
Do you remember we met for the first time here?
We confessed our feelings to each other here too.
Of course.
How could I forget that?
I remember every moment with you.
What? It's snowing.
Director Kang.
If so, you will also not forget...
this moment, right?
You'll remember this forever, right?
Of course.
I'm sorry, Director Kang.
Eun Sung.
I love you.
How does Sun Woo seem to be feeling?
I'm not sure. I haven't noticed any particular changes yet.
You said Yoo Eun Sung had told you that she would end it with Sun Woo.
Yes. That's what she said, but...
What's going on?
Did she tell Sun Woo or not?
We'll find out soon...
whether or not Yoo Eun Sung understood what I said.
Eun Sung, you came home late last night.
Did you go out to meet a friend?
Well...
No, I met Director Kang.
You met him again?
I told you that you two couldn't be together.
I know. So I met him for the last time.
What? For the last time?
I, too, thought that we were not meant to be.
So I decided to break up with him.
Are you serious?
Will you really break up with him?
Is it because of what happened yesterday?
But what made you decide suddenly?
I mean, I was against your relationship as well.
But I didn't know you would decide so soon.
Just as Mom and Dad said,
what's the point of dragging it on when we're not meant to be?
It'll only make us suffer...
and leave scars.
You're right.
You made the right decision.
You must be heartbroken now,
but you should accept that you're not meant to be with him.
I feel so bad...
that you two are hurt because of us.
But I'm glad you made the decision.
Eun Sung.
I'm really sorry.
I feel like you're suffering...
because I failed to live my life right. I'm so sorry.
Eun Sung.
You made your decision...
because of what my birth mom told you yesterday, right?
I can't say you're wrong,
but it wasn't the only reason.
I contemplated what to do for a while.
You know that.
Ms. Sim only gave me an undeniable reason. That's all.
Come on. Even so, this is so cruel.
Why must you be suffering this much...
because of what Mom and Dad did wrong?
I have no choice since I'm their daughter.
Goodness, Eun Sung. What should I do with you?
Don't be too upset, Eun A.
You see, I'm fine.
But did Sun Woo agree to break up right away?
He's not the type who would do so.
He'll have no choice but to end it with me.
Because we ought to break up.
I prepared something too.
Ms. Shin, did you prepare everything for the press conference?
Yes, sir. It will begin in 20 minutes.
Good.
It isn't an exaggeration to say that today's press conference...
will determine the fate of "Hidden Memory."
All the investors have their eyes on it, Director Kang.
I know. This is our last resort to calm the controversy.
So I'll make it work.
All right.
Have all the reporters arrived?
Yes. You can go in whenever you're ready.
Here are the materials for the press conference.
Thank you.
(Press Conference with Director Kang Sun Woo)
(Meeting Room, Occupied)
Yoo Eun Sung is on a show.
- Which one? - Which show?
- She's on "Cinema 3.0." - "Cinema 3.0."
Director Kang.
Oh, it's... Well...
You need to see this.
Hello. I'm Actress Yoo Eun Sung.
I'll start with a question about what everyone wants to know.
There's a suspicion that you passed the audition...
because you're in a relationship with Director Kang Sun Woo.
Please tell us about it.
Yes.
Firstly, there was nothing unfair in the audition process.
I went through the same process as all the other actresses...
and got the part because of my acting abilities.
Then why do you think such articles came out?
Well... I don't know why.
But the premise that Director Kang and I...
are in a romantic relationship is false to begin with.
I will tell you the truth.
Director Kang Sun Woo and I...
are not in a relationship.
We...
are nothing more than a director and an actress.
Eun Sung.
What are you planning to do to calm this controversy?
It seems that Eun Sung decided to shoulder all the responsibility.
Great. Now I'm relieved.
Since she decided to break up with him,
I think she's trying to make sure to end it once and for all.
I had my own reasons. I had no choice.
What is Eun Sung going to do now?
- What do you think of Min Guk? - Pardon?
Hey, Eun Sung.
Sun Woo is here.
