(Episode 88)
Did you really tell Eun Sung...
that her dad and I had an affair?
Yes, I did. I mean, it's true...
that you two had an affair.
How could you tell my child such a thing...
I talked to your daughter over and over again,
but she refused to leave my son.
So I wanted to knock some sense into her...
What is wrong with you?
Sim Jung Ae,
you...
are still the same person... you used to be 30 years ago.
You haven't changed a bit.
Ko Chun Young,
how dare you...
You.
Even if you apologized on your knees for the rest of your life,
it wouldn't be enough.
Why should I apologize?
I did nothing wrong!
How could you...
Hey, Ko Chun Young! You homewrecker!
Fine! If that's what you want to believe, keep believing it!
Only then can you delude yourself into thinking that the 30 years...
you spent hating us after your divorce weren't a waste.
What is this nonsense you're spewing right now?
Hey, I saw the two of you together with my own eyes.
Are you saying that you two didn't actually have an affair?
That's right. We did not.
It is true that you saw me with Dong Gu,
but I told you that we had a situation.
And I've already explained everything to you!
Who'd believe that?
You two had an affair behind my back,
and you're now coming up with all sorts of lies.
So?
Is that why...
you've been spreading rumors that Dong Gu and I had an affair?
After losing my parents,
I had to make ends meet,
so I struggled to get a job,
which I lost because of you!
I didn't spread such rumors. People did.
If you need someone to blame, blame the others.
Or blame yourself for your disgusting conduct.
Hey, Sim Jung Ae!
You admitted it yourself.
You said you had an affair with Dong Gu...
and that you stole my husband!
I only said that because I was exhausted.
I...
wanted to breathe, for goodness' sake!
I told you over and over that it wasn't true,
but you still showed up every day and harassed me.
I just... I couldn't even breathe...
because you were hanging me out to dry!
So?
Are you saying you admitted it...
when you didn't actually have an affair just to get back at me?
Do you think it makes sense?
What kind of idiot would believe that?
"So be it. I don't care anymore."
"Sim Jung Ae, it's your turn to suffer!"
"If I can't clear my name and prove..."
"that I'm not an adulteress,"
"you need to suffer too!"
Hey, you...
You think you can lie to my face because it's in the past now.
Whether I'm lying or not...
isn't up to you to judge.
Do not...
call my daughter again.
If you...
ever hurt my dear Eun Sung again,
I'll make your son pay for it.
Hey, Ko Chun Young.
Are you threatening me right now?
This isn't a threat.
It's a warning.
When and if that happens,
I'll do more than slap your face.
I will tell your son...
how nasty and conniving you are.
I'll tell him all about it.
Has she completely lost her mind?
Hey, Ko Chun Young.
Ko Chun Young!
Where is he?
(Haha Chicken, Good Day for Coffee)
Gosh, where did he go?
- My gosh. - Eun A.
What are you doing here so early?
Dad, where have you been?
I have called you several times. Why didn't you pick up?
You called me?
I guess I left it at the restaurant.
- I had to go to... - Dad.
We have a problem. Mom is...
Your mom? What about her?
I mean, my birth mom. She told Eun Sung about...
So Mom is...
Mom, where have you been?
Mom.
Mom, what's wrong? Did something happen?
Mom, are you crying?
Why? What happened?
You...
Why didn't you tell me?
Tell you what?
I heard Sun Woo's mother called you...
and told you...
what happened between me and your dad 30 years ago,
blaming us for her divorce.
What? Mom, how did you know?
Is that important now?
You should've come straight to me and your dad...
and told us about it as soon as it happened.
Why would you...
keep it all to yourself?
Well, I just couldn't bring myself to tell you and Dad.
Why not?
Why? Were you worried that your dad and I would be embarrassed?
That we'd be humiliated?
Mom.
Is that why you ended things with Sun Woo?
Is that why you said on the live broadcast...
that nothing was going on between the two of you?
To protect me and your dad?
No.
I decided to break up with him before I heard about it.
Because I knew it would never work out between us.
Eun Sung.
Eun Sung, I swear.
What Sun Woo's mom said I had done...
I never did such a thing.
Your dad didn't do anything that he should never do...
as a man who had his own family.
Neither did I.
Really?
Are you telling me the truth, Mom?
I can believe what you said, right?
Yes.
That's right.
Sun Woo's mom is wrong about what really happened...
as misunderstandings accumulated between us over the past 30 years.
So don't worry about anything, Eun Sung. All right?
At least regarding that matter,
your dad and I are completely innocent.
I'm so relieved.
You see, I had no idea.
I thought if there was even a small chance...
That's okay.
I'm sorry, Mom.
Whatever others said,
I should've trusted you and Dad.
I believed what Ms. Sim said without even asking you about it.
Don't be sorry. It's not your fault.
Sun Woo's mom...
had no doubt that it was true.
So she must've told you that with confidence.
And you...
must have had no choice but to believe her.
That's why my heart is aching.
The thought of you suffering all the pain...
and agonizing...
with no one to talk to about it breaks my heart.
Mom...
Eun Sung.
My dear daughter Eun Sung, I'm so sorry.
I put you through such a hard time.
You...
suffered so much because of me.
I'm sorry for all that. Forgive me.
My biological mom called Eun Sung over...
and told her that she got a divorce 30 years ago...
because of you and Mom.
I can't believe her.
How could she tell such a thing to my child?
She must have lost her mind.
Hey. I'm glad you came out.
Ko Chun Young had already come here and caused a scene.
Why did you come here too?
Gosh. Why couldn't you let it go when I ignored your call?
My phone wouldn't stop ringing.
How could you do such a thing to my daughter?
I know you did that to separate the two of them,
but that was totally out of line.
What's wrong with that?
You broke my heart 30 years ago.
Seeing your daughter hurt by me...
is that painful?
Does it make you furious?
What did you say?
Were you always this unreasonable?
You can't even tell right from wrong and do everything as you please...
Honey.
What are you doing out here?
What are you doing with my wife in front of my house?
I have something to tell your wife...
If you have something to say, say it to me.
Don't come to my house uninvited when I'm gone.
Fine.
Then I'll talk to you.
I talked to her many times, but she couldn't even understand.
Let's go some place quiet.
Fine. Let's go.
Telling my child about that was totally out of line.
How could she say such a thing as an adult?
Right. I feel bad about that too.
It's unfortunate.
"Unfortunate?"
My gosh. Are you a politician or what?
Is it from the apology speech of some company's chairman?
Clearly, you didn't mean that.
Then what do you want me to do?
She's already told your daughter about it.
But thanks to that, our kids broke up.
Isn't that good enough?
That's not even close to good enough.
Why must Eun Sung be the only one to make the sacrifice to break up?
What about your son? Why must only my daughter suffer?
Are you saying...
that my wife should've told Sun Woo...
about what happened in the past to make things fair?
You think they would've broken up...
without your daughter being hurt?
What? How dare you say something like that?
Gosh. Why are you getting so worked up?
I'm trying to talk it out quietly.
You're only getting me riled up. You call this "talk?"
Who's getting who riled up? I'm the one who's angry here.
You don't know the first thing about what happened 30 years ago!
You're in no position to say anything about it.
I know what happened then.
I heard about it.
That's Sim Jung Ae's side of the story, for goodness' sake!
I told you not to call her that again.
She's not your wife anymore!
What else should I call her?
Should I call her "Sim Cheong" from the folktale?
What did you say? You jerk. Why you little...
Did you just call me a jerk?
How old are you?
I'm older than you!
Prove it!
You crazy brat!
Did Hye Yoon say that you were the only one for her?
That no one else was in her heart?
Even if I'm not the one in your heart, I...
(Good Day for Coffee)
Look at you.
Why do you look so sentimental?
You're teary-eyed...
and giving off a sad vibe.
Were you thinking of Ga Ram's mother? Jung Hye Yoon?
I was right. You were thinking of the mysterious girl.
Mr. Shin, what did you like so much about her?
Why do you want to know that?
I'm going to try to become like her.
If what she had was a useful skill or a charming trait,
I'm going to obtain it.
And then I'll flirt with you.
Sun Ju, do me a favor and stop joking around with me.
Do I look like I'm joking around?
To be honest, I haven't taken my life so seriously until now.
But my feelings for you are 100 percent sincere.
They're absolutely pure.
Sun Ju.
I know this from my experience of unrequited love.
It's not worth it.
And don't do that especially for someone like me.
Whether it's worth it or not...
depends on the man I love.
It may have been painful for you because you loved Jung Hye Yoon,
but as for me, because it's you that I have a one-sided crush on,
my life has become abundant.
The world now seems to shine in all the beautiful colors.
All right. Sun Ju, I...
I appreciate you saying that.
I'm not just saying that.
I mean it.
Having someone like you by my side...
is so nice.
If you like it that much,
I can stay by your side forever.
I'll be glued to you, even.
(Haha Chicken, Good Day for Coffee)
It was warm in the past few days,
but it became cold again.
I know, right?
Make sure to put your muffler around your neck...
and bundle up to stay warm.
I'll do that. You're the only one who cares about me, Jin Sil.
I'm here, right by your side.
I'm here.
Come on. Stop it.
Jin Sil, I don't think we should go in right now.
Romance is in the air in there.
- Pardon? Romance is in the air? - Yes.
- What's going on... - Stop.
If you want your son, who still has feelings for Ga Ram's mom,
to move on with someone else, don't interrupt them.
The romantic mood is getting heated up now.
- What? A romantic mood? - Yes.
Gosh. Stop it already.
Mr. Shin, if you like having me by your side,
please sing a song for me.
What? Sing for you? Why would you ask me to sing?
I heard...
that you had been a member of a music club in college.
All right. We have the item every cafe must have these days,
- which is a mic, right here. - No.
Here.
Goodness, no. Don't give me that mic.
Please sing just one song for me. Come on.
I saw you enjoying singing when I wasn't here.
When did I sing here?
I saw you...
singing here...
and then hiding the mic hastily when I came.
I was just checking if this mic worked fine.
- I was testing the mic. - Come on. Sing for me.
Just this once, please. Come on.
When the light came in
You would open your eyes naturally
Looking
At those eyes of yours
Opened my eyes to love
The things I used to know
Feel like they have changed
For some reason
The exciting things
That seemed to happen only to others
Are now happening to me
Gosh.
What did Yoo Dong Gu say?
What else would he have said?
He complained about how you told his daughter...
about what happened 30 years ago when you were an adult.
He said it was unfair that only his daughter...
made a sacrifice and Sun Woo didn't when they broke up.
- My gosh. - Unbelievable.
Who else should've made a sacrifice?
He was the one who was at fault.
Why didn't he persuade his daughter...
to end things with Sun Woo before any of this happened?
Had he done that, I wouldn't have had to say what I said.
I heard Ko Chun Young came by and lashed out at you.
Gosh, those two think they can barge into our house as they please.
What would've happened...
if I hadn't come home to get changed for my meeting in the evening?
That jerk would've lashed out at you again.
My goodness.
I went to see Jung Ae...
and ended up talking to her husband.
He's just like her. He wouldn't listen.
You should've told me that you were going there.
Why did you go there without telling me?
I went there because I heard Jung Ae...
called Eun Sung and told her about us.
So?
What did Eun Sung say? Did you talk to her?
Yes. I told her that everything Jung Ae said to her...
was not true.
I told her that we never did such a thing.
And? What did she say?
She said she was relieved...
and cried without even realizing it.
It utterly broke my heart to see that.
She actually said she felt like she owed us an apology.
For faltering and doubting us.
She said she felt so bad.
Why does Eun Sung have to be hurt...
because of a misunderstanding on Jung Ae's part?
Eun Sung did nothing wrong.
Eun Sung doesn't want to come back?
She said she would never come back...
and that she was completely done with "Hidden Memory."
Because of the live broadcast,
I knew she wouldn't return easily,
but this is very unlike her.
She was more passionate about "Hidden Memory" than anybody else.
I know.
There must be another reason,
aside from wanting to break up with me,
but I can't figure it out.
How about I meet her?
We live in the same neighborhood,
so let me try persuading her in person.
I'll hear her out and ask her why she doesn't want to come back.
Okay, please do that.
She won't see me.
Don't worry.
I'll meet her tomorrow and talk to her.
You seem to be in a great mood today.
You even offered to buy me pizza. What's gotten into you?
My morning shift ended early,
so I thought of how lonely you must be, trapped in this small room,
and decided to buy you this potato pizza as a special treat.
Unlike yesterday, you are very arrogant today.
How come you seem so relaxed today?
And what's with that triumphant smile?
Well, I haven't triumphed yet.
Shall I say something happened that put me at an advantage?
Put you at an advantage?
Oh, is it about the owner of the cafe?
How did you know?
Have you been studying to read minds?
Read minds? Oh, please.
He's the one you're obsessed with these days.
Right.
So?
What happened today that you're in such a good mood?
Auntie Jung Sook, when a man sings a song for a woman,
it means he's interested in her, right?
My gosh! He sang a song for you?
Yes. A sweet, romantic song at that.
He has such a nice voice on top of being so handsome.
My gosh. He made me melt.
He made me melt like ice cream on a hot summer day.
My goodness. You're head over heels for him.
You weren't exactly normal to begin with,
but you really can't think straight now.
What does your heart say? Do you want to go to Cinderella?
Do you admit it?
Yes.
As you said, I listened to my heart, which everyone could hear but me.
And you were right.
I don't want to let Ha Young go yet.
Then there's nothing to worry about.
Now you two can think of each other and move forward.
She just so happens to be single at the moment.
Hey, it's not that easy.
What's so difficult about it?
It's not some complicated math formula.
Come on. Love is much more complicated than math.
Why? Is it because of your pride?
Are you embarrassed to go back on your word?
Because you said you'd never see her again?
Hey, you didn't have to point it out so bluntly.
Hey, you don't need to worry about that at all.
As you know, she broke that rule first.
When she had to make that important decision,
she reached out to you first...
to talk to you even though things were awkward between you two.
I can't break the rule just because she did.
I mean, I'm a cop.
Hey, what does being a cop have to do with this?
You have an unnecessarily strong work ethic.
Hey, if you only care about being a cop,
you should go and meet an informant in the evening.
An informant?
She is a friend of the victim in the karaoke robbery case...
and the one who called it in first.
Yes, I'll meet the informant...
and catch the culprit.
Detective Yoo.
What? Ha Young.
We meet again.
I know. What brings you here?
I'm here to meet an informant. What about you?
Oh, I'm here to meet the detective who will be our new advisor.
Detective Park said...
he could no longer do it as he was too busy.
Really?
Detective Park told me nothing about it.
Well, I guess he hasn't had a chance to tell you yet.
He only told me earlier today.
I see. I'm sorry, Ha Young.
You keep getting new advisors.
I asked Detective Park to take good care of you.
This jerk is bailing on you.
No, it's okay.
I know full well how busy homicide detectives are.
I'll see you around.
Hey, Detective Park.
Hey, I'm sorry.
The informant I told you about does not exist.
What did you say?
But if you've run into someone you know,
you should spend some time with her instead.
It's my gift to a friend of mine...
who thinks love is harder than math.
Detective Park, you can't...
Hello?
What is this?
Why? Did you hear from Detective Park just now?
Yes, he texted me.
He said you were the new advisor.
What? Me?
Gosh, Detective Park fooled you too.
Did he do this so we could meet again?
I'm sorry, Ha Young.
I really had no idea...
that he'd do this.
Isn't this so funny? I mean, us.
Yes, it is.
I'm a little flustered, but it is funny indeed.
Detective Park is funny.
He planned this surprise event for us.
He looks like he'd be rough around the edges,
but he's actually quite witty.
This ramyeon tastes even better because I'm having it with you...
on my day off.
It's all because you cooked it well.
From the amount of water to the cooking time,
everything was perfect.
Really? No wonder the noodles are so firm and delicious.
Oh, right. Eun A received tickets to a play and a musical from work...
as a New Year's gift.
She said one of us should go and watch them.
She's busy with her shows on the days...
when the tickets are booked, so she can't go.
Really? A musical?
Why? What is it?
I heard the neighbor's daughter was the person you were supposed...
to watch a musical with in December.
The one who works in film. You said you were interested in her.
Oh, yes.
Who told you that?
Mr. Shin, the neighbor.
He told Mom and Dad that you and his daughter were meeting up.
So you watched a musical with that lady?
Then things must be going well. I had no idea.
To be honest, it's not going that well.
But I want to be more proactive from now on.
So far, I've been a little hesitant...
due to some circumstances.
My gosh, really?
Does that mean you'll get married this year?
Hey, come on. That's too soon.
Anyway, which film production company does she work for?
Is it a company I know?
Well, the thing is...
- You actually know... - Wait, hold on.
What?
Yes, hello?
Hi, Eun Sung. It's me, Shin Ha Young.
I need to talk to you about something.
Can we meet?
Oh, what's it about?
I'll tell you more in person.
When is good for you?
I'm flexible.
Just tell me where to meet you.
There's a cafe in the area called Good Day for Coffee.
Meet me there in half an hour.
Sorry?
Okay, sure.
How did Ms. Shin know about this cafe?
Most of those who come here are regulars.
Eun Sung, I see you came before me.
Yes. You're here, Ms. Shin.
By the way, how did you find this cafe?
Oh, that. This cafe is run by my family.
Your family?
So this is the cafe that your family owns?
That means you and Mr. Shin...
How do you know my nephew?
My parents' restaurant is right across from this cafe.
That place, Haha Chicken.
You're the daughter of the Haha Chicken family?
That means...
You're Detective Yoo's younger sister?
- Eun Hyuk. - Hey.
Were you coming here to meet someone?
- I see. - Detective Yoo.
Oh, hey. Ha Young.
Are you and Eun Sung completely over?
Why would a great man like you cling on to her?
Forget it. I found a good match for Sun Woo as his future wife.
I thought I should tell you two eventually.
Both of us are in an awkward position.
Who is the person you love the most, Ga Ram?
- Eun A. - I was rejected...
by your dad.
Will Eun Sung really not come back?
