Eun-suh's father is the president of the PTA.
And her brother is the president of the student body.
Eun-suh is also our class president.
Class president?
How do you do?
Mrs. Yoon, Shin-ae is first in her class
and she's the class vice president.
What?
You're the vice president. Mom...
How are you? I'm Choi Shin-ae.
Shin-ae...
Yes.
You're very pretty.
I'm sorry to keep you here when you're busy.
But I'd like to discuss some things when I have all of you here.
No, I don't want to discuss anything.
I told you not to be the class president or anything else.
No.
I'm not trying to pressure you to do anything.
Ma'am, you should be proud of her.
The kids elected her the vice president.
You should let her.
Dad.
Joon-suh.
Excuse me. I'd like to use the restroom.
The students put a lot of effort into the exhibition.
Luckily, my students worked well together under Eun-suh and Shin-ae's leadership...
- Teacher, there is a phone call for you. - All right.
Excuse me for a minute.
You must be very proud to have a smart daughter.
You too.
Does Shin-ae have any siblings?
She has a brother.
Eun-suh does too.
What grade is your brother in?
- He's supposed to be in high school... - He's studying for the GED.
- He was expelled. - Why you...
Really...
Do you get along well with your brother? / No.
Was she a healthy baby? She wasn't a sickly child?
We may not be rich, but I raised my kids in a healthy manner.
Mom.
What kind of girl is she?
Who?
Your class president.
Yoon Eun-suh?
She's a princess.
Her grandfather established our school. They're really rich.
Shin-ae's mother came to confirm her blood type.
It is type O.
Mom and Dad must be tired. They're not coming.
Honey, are you tired?
Yes, I'm exhausted from attending that exhibition.
Eun-suh must have snacks ready. She must be tired.
Eun-suh is a very understanding and sweet girl. She'll understand.
Happy birthday.
- Thank you. - Open your gift.
- They are our family. - They really are.
Eun-suh and I made them together.
Joon-suh painted and made the cups.
- Then what did you do? - I cheered him on.
I guess I could live without the kids as long as we have these.
They're not going anywhere.
I'm going to live with them forever.
I'm sure you will.
They are not going anywhere. I'm going to live with them forever.
I'm sure you will.
- You sound just like Mom. - Like mother like daughter.
I'm her daughter after all.
You're always giving me leftovers.
- You want me to go to school without breakfast. - You said you don't want to eat.
Why are you acting so irritable lately?
Come home early today.
You'll just make me work.
- That's why Brother ran away. - What?
Come home early.
The market opens today and we'll be busy.
- Your lunch. - What's for lunch today?
It's tonkatsu, isn't it? Thank you.
I'm ready.
Let me fix your hair.
Thin? They used to be fat.
I guess I'm not your daughter. I don't even look like you.
I must be adopted.
If you don't hurry, I'm leaving without you.
- There you go. - Bye, Mom.
Wait for me.
- Brother, let me ride on your bike. - What?
No, you're too heavy.
- You don't want to ride your own bike? - Fine.
Why do I feel so tired today?
I feel dizzy too.
I think I'll get into another accident.
I'm not good at riding a bike so it's dangerous.
- Hop on. - Thank you.
But this is the last time.
And if you ever mention accidents again... / Sorry.
It's lunchtime.
Everyone, Eun-suh has an awesome lunch. Gather around.
I'll get some water.
I'm sorry.
Shin-ae...
Choi Shin-ae.
You won't like it if your friends see you talking to me here.
Let go.
Let go of me! I don't have any money!
Not you too.
You sound just like Mom.
I know you steal from the restaurant. Cough it up.
You're calling me a thief?
You're the one who stole money and ran away from home.
What?
Here, here is the money. Take this.
Take this money.
Is she your friend?
Why are you meddling in our business?
- You twerp... - No!
Thanks.
Don't ever come back home, you jerk!
Is he your brother?
Yes, he's my brother.
My brother is a hoodlum. Are you happy?
That's not what I meant.
I wish the likes of you would disappear.
Shin-ae!
Why were you crying?
It must be a long commute from home to school...
You can't ride a bike?
No, I can't.
- Then I'll... - I don't have a bike to ride.
We don't have money to buy bikes.
Bikes are only for someone like Eun-suh.
When did your father pass away?
Before I was born.
Do you ever wish you had a father?
I'm sorry.
You're a good girl.
You're still the top student while helping out your mother.
She doesn't make me work when I'm studying.
I want to grow up fast and leave home.
I'm sorry.
It's so cute.
He must be a philanthropist. Like father like daughter.
I wish I had a father like him.
Why are you hitting me?
Who gave you this doll? Who gave it to you?
Tell me now.
I didn't steal it.
- Eun-suh's father... - Why would you meet her father?
- I ran into him on... - Are you a pauper?
- Mom. - Why did you take this from him?
I fed you and sent you to school and now this...
Why are you doing this?
What's wrong with accepting a stupid doll?
What have you done for me? Have you ever bought me a doll?
You always beat me and make me work at the restaurant.
What?
Don't I spend money on you when I have money stashed away?
I'm sick of it.
No one lives like me.
They're not as smart as I am but they still wear nicer things
and buy all the dolls they want. What am I?
They have better parents and have much better lives than I do.
But what about me?
If you're so jealous, go and live with them.
Go! Fine, I'll leave. I'll go!
Go! Go live with your rich parents.
Go live with your real parents.
My real parents?
What do you mean? What are you saying?
They're your real parents.
You'll finally be free of this place.
Go to your real parents.
Go live with your parents who can buy you this stuff!
What are you doing here?
I was on the bus when I saw your car.
- Where did you go? - What about you?
I...
I was just...
Let's take Eun-suh and Joon-suh on an outing.
Today?
Please.
You did well.
Reel it in.
Good.
Keep it tight.
Honey, aren't you cold? Do you want me to bring you a blanket?
You and Eun-suh look great together.
The dean called today.
I told him you'd be going on the exchange program.
Honey, today I...
I'm happy now. We're happy now.
Please, have mercy on me.
I'll do even better for you and our children.
I think I can forget everything and go on.
Please, honey.
Let's see. You're not doing it right.
Eun-suh, you're prettier. Who do you take after?
I take after my mom. Do you want to meet her?
Your mother is so pretty.
- Eun-suh must be in a great mood today. - Yes, I'm really happy today.
I'm happy you're happy.
I'm happy too.
Yoon Joon-suh, aren't you happy?
I'm really, really happy too.
Shin-ae, what's wrong?
I got kicked out of the house.
I have nowhere to go.
Choi Shin-ae.
But why did you come to...
That doll...
My mom beat me because of this doll you bought me.
- Shin-ae, then I'll take you home. - I heard everything.
Mom told me everything.
Mom, what is she talking about?
Is it true?
Is it true I'm your daughter?
Shin-ae.
You and I were switched at birth. I'm their daughter, not you!
Eun-suh! Eun-suh!
Eun-suh.
Yoon Eun-suh.
Eun-suh.
How did you get so far?
What if you'd gotten lost?
I... I'm really not Mom and Dad's daughter?
I'm not your sister?
That's not true.
You're my sister.
- But she says I'm not. - Eun-suh.
It was strange.
I can't paint like you do and everyone said I don't look like any of you.
And I'm not even smart.
You, Mom, and Dad are all good at everything, but I was...
Stop this.
You're my sister. You're really my sister.
Let's go home.
Yoon Eun-suh, let's go home.
Are you going to keep this up?
No, you're not my sister.
My sister is a sweet girl.
She wouldn't worry her brother like this.
Do you know how I worried about you?
Even when we played hide-and-seek, my sister would mark where she was hiding
so I wouldn't have to look for her too long. That's how sweet my sister is.
Why are you crying? Why should you cry?
Let's go.
How are Joon-suh and Eun-suh?
And Shin-ae?
Send her back tomorrow morning.
- Honey. - Send her back.
But how could we...
- How could you be so cruel? - Yes, I'm cruel.
Shin-ae is just as much your daughter as Eun-suh.
Shin-ae is our real daughter.
Have you thought about what kind of life she's had until now?
If she had a good life, I wouldn't be doing this.
The thought of her living at that place...
The thought of her continuing to live there... / Stop it.
I can't. I can't send her back.
Can you send her back? Don't you care a little about Shin-ae?
I... I'm not going to think about her.
Honey.
If I start to care for her, what will happen to Eun-suh?
Have you thought about Eun-suh?
Will you abandon her? Will you kick her out?
If I don't protect Eun-suh, who will?
If I get weak, we'll lose Eun-suh forever.
Don't touch Eun-suh's clothes. I brought you some new underwear.
Eun-suh, sit down.
Good morning.
You were thinking, "Everyone at school will find out," right?
Eun-suh.
You were thinking, "I wonder if she'll be all right today," right?
"Why doesn't she take a few days off?"
You were thinking, "I'm going to be strong," right?
You were thinking, "I believe in Eun-suh," right?
Yes, I believe in you.
I do too. I'm not going to be weak.
Don't worry.
So you're living at her house?
Of course, it is really my house.
Then she should move to your house.
I suppose so.
Eun-suh...
What will happen to you?
Don't cry.
Don't cry. I'm all right.
Welcome...
I'll have some stew.
So she went there.
What do we do now?
What do we do?
What do others do in our situation?
Do they switch their children back?
Do we...
Do we have to switch them back?
Please, take Shin-ae back.
I...
I came to ask you to take her back.
Eun-suh was a sickly baby. She grew up nestled in my bosom.
She's my baby. Let me raise her.
Don't you feel sorry for Shin-ae who grew up here?
Take good care of her.
I didn't bring her up well.
My husband died after spending every dime we had on gambling and hospital bills.
I was too busy making a living to care for her properly.
I couldn't bring her up as a gentle girl.
Please, take good care of her.
Although I couldn't do much for her,
Shin-ae is my only daughter.
I can't send her to you.
I wanted to ask you to let her stay.
How was Shin-ae?
Wasn't she a finicky eater?
She has a healthy appetite.
When did she start talking?
When did she take her first steps?
I'm sorry.
Was she a beautiful baby?
Did she have lots of friends?
Shin-ae...
My Shin-ae...
Please take good care of her.
Take good care of her.
Yoon Eun-suh.
Choi Shin-ae, what do you want?
Where are you going?
Home.
Your home isn't in that direction.
What are you saying?
Yoon Eun-suh.
No, I mean Choi Eun-suh.
Are you afraid that restaurant lady will be your mom?
You're scared you'll be getting a thug for a brother, right?
You're a terrible person.
How can you say that about your mother who raised you?
You're terrible.
Let's go.
What do you know about our family? Who are you to call me a terrible person?
Go and see for yourself.
- Shin-ae, what's wrong with you? - You stay out of it.
Let's go.
Eun-suh!
Joon-suh, something terrible happened.
Shin-ae took Eun-suh to her house.
Let's go.
Your days of suffering are over now.
I hear Shin-ae's real parents are filthy rich.
Where did you hear it?
It's all over school. My daughter told me.
So how much are you going to ask for?
Get as much as you can.
They should compensate you for having raised their child all this time.
You witch...
Get out!
You only think about selling your kid off to the highest bidder?
- What are you saying? - What?
Shin-ae.
I'm not Shin-ae. This is Shin-ae.
- You brat. - She's your daughter.
Brother.
Brother!
Let's go.
Let's go home.
Shin-ae.
Joon-suh hit me.
Joon-suh hit me because of Eun-suh.
A girl shouldn't cry.
Go and wash up for dinner.
I'll leave! Are you happy? You live with Eun-suh.
Why do you hate me so?
Why do you hate me?
I'm your daughter. You're my mom.
Do I have to work at the restaurant all day, getting beaten up by my mom and brother?
I want to wear pretty dresses and be loved by my brother, too.
Can't I do that?
Can't I be loved by my mom and dad?
Can't I wish for that? Am I a terrible person for wanting that?
You're supposed to be my real mom.
You're my mom...
Mom... Mom...
Shin-ae... I'm sorry.
I'm so sorry. Don't cry.
Don't cry. I'm so sorry.
Don't cry.
- We're home. - Joon-suh.
Come here.
- Later. - What?
- Dad, what happened was... - Why did you hit your sister?
I didn't hit Eun-suh. I didn't hit my sister.
Shin-ae must be having a hard time in her new surroundings.
You and Eun-suh should be nice to her. She's also your sister.
She's not my sister. My sister is right here.
After all this time...
I don't know how important she is to you, but she's not to me.
Tell her to go back to her house!
Dad.
- Joon-suh. - You go inside.
What about Eun-suh?
Are you thinking about her at all?
Don't cry. Don't cry, Mom.
My Eun-suh is all grown up.
She's big enough to be married.
She sure is.
My Eun-suh...
My precious daughter, Eun-suh...
Eun-suh is not pretty. She's ugly.
Dad, Mom, and Brother...
I'm really grateful.
Thank you for raising me.
I'm going to take this.
That way, I'll always be with them.
Bye, Dad.
Bye, Mom... You're the best mom.
And Joon-suh, bye...
Eun-suh.
Eun-suh!
