Wonderful Mama
I heard you quit your job.
I'm going back. That's what I came to tell you.
I won't go back empty-handed.
I'll compete with the designer you're supporting.
What's that?
If I fall behind that designer...
Then I'll quit the job and Mr. Jang Hoon Nam won't have any excuse.
I can promise you.
Leave right now.
Didn't you hear me tell you to leave?
Can't you hear me? Leave!
[Please contact me. Yoon Bok Hee]
Wait, Dong Soo.
I forgot. I left my purse.
I'll go get it.
Yoon Bok Hee is looking for you.
You know that, right?
What can I say to her if I see her?
Did you leave me with anything that I can tell her?
Thanks to the mighty Choi Eun Ok, I gave up being human a long time ago.
To my children and to her.
And to Min Soo.
Five, six, seven...
That's...
That looks like Number 703.
Is it?
Hello, Yoon...
Hello? Hello.
Dong Soo! The lights are on in Room 703.
I also think Mr. Lee Beom Seo is back.
There was a call just now, and I think it's Mr. Lee Beom Seo.
What?
If he called after seeing the note, it means he wants to meet you.
- He's not answering. - Why don't you text him?
My hands are shaking. Why don't you text him?
[Is this the phone of Mr. Lee Beom Seo?]
[This is Yoon Bok Hee. I'm in front of your place. Can we meet for a few minutes?]
Wait, Dong Soo.
Are you okay, Ma'am?
Why is my heart beating so fast?
I'm feeling short of breath, I can't really walk.
Because you're meeting him for the first time in 36 years.
But don't expect too much.
Maybe it's the wrong person.
Okay.
Let's go.
Mi... Min Soo's father?
You are.
You're Min Soo's father, aren't you?
Don't you wonder about the children?
They're still your children.
Didn't you miss them?
If I miss them, can I meet them?
Hello, Ma'am.
Welcome, Dr. Hong. Did I interrupt your busy schedule?
I just read research papers after work anyway.
Have a glass?
Do you often drink by yourself?
I worry about others when I'm in public...
And I don't want my children to worry at home, so I drink once in a while.
What exactly is bothering you so much?
The father of my children arrived from Seattle.
I saw him for he first time in 20 years, but I still feel weird about it.
It's about time he felt like a stranger to me.
Do you... still have him in your heart?
I really wanted to have him, but he was never mine.
Maybe that's why I still have feelings for him.
What does he say?
Maybe he still has feelings left...
He's been keeping up with news on me and my children through a friend.
Then why don't you make up with him?
You have no reason to hesitate.
I'm not sure... if I can still be a woman to him.
If he rejects me again... I'd never be able to forgive him.
Be brave, Ma'am.
Your sincerity will get through to him.
I've missed you a lot.
I really missed you.
I've always wondered how you were living and if you were doing well.
I've wondered so many times whether I should look for you...
But I couldn't look for you...
Because I've committed too many sins against you...
I had no right to face you.
Anyway, I've really missed you...
Sometimes I had to pretend I didn't miss you.
I wondered if I would see you in my dreams...
If I did, I wanted to beg for forgiveness.
It's all my fault... And I'm sorry.
And I really regret it.
How on earth have you kept going until now?
I always remembered you as the one after we separated.
How could you...
Now you look...
Why are you crying now?
Like you said... are you sorry because you left me?
Or do you feel pity for what you imagine happened to my life after you left me?
Or else, do I look that terrible now that 36 years have passed?
Whatever the reason is, you can't cry in front of me.
What right do you have to cry?
Am I always 20 years old in your memory?
Who made that 20-year-old girl's life like this?
Who left me with a lifelong heartache after taking my child away?
Bok Hee...
Don't cry. You have no right to cry.
You asked for all of it.
You regret it and you want to be forgiven?
It was your choice, so why now?
Why didn't you think about it back then when you were so cruel to me and my son?
Didn't you know you'd cry your eyes out when we met again after 36 years?
I'm sorry, I'm sorry... It's my fault, I'm the one at fault...
No, it's pointless now.
It's pointless, so let's not talk about it anymore.
There is only one reason I wanted to see you.
What happened to our Min Soo?
Did you really give him away to another family like Eun Ok said?
Do you really not know where he is and how he's doing?
That can't be. Eun Ok could do that, but not you.
You're his father. His own flesh and blood. You know that, don't you?
You must know where he is and how he grew up, right?
Sincerity will win him over...
So should I be the one asking to reconcile?
Everything has its own time.
This could be the last chance you have to make up with him.
To do that... I have to tell him the truth about the secret I've kept to myself.
What's the secret?
Ma'am.
I committed a terrible sin 36 years ago...
So my husband left me even though he still loved me.
But I found out later it was a misunderstanding.
If I tell him about that...
He would think of me differently.
Why did you keep it to yourself then?
You should've told him.
I wanted to punish him.
I wanted him to live in pain and guilt for the rest of his life.
But now that I see him getting old, I want to ease his mind.
Then there's no reason to hesitate anymore.
Tell him the truth as soon as possible...
And ask for forgiveness.
Dr. Hong, if the secret gets out, people will see my dark side.
And... maybe you will hate me, too.
That's what I'm afraid of.
That's impossible. No matter what happens, I'm on your side.
No matter who says what, you're my savior and like my parent.
I committed a terrible sin 36 years ago.
I'm actually looking for someone...
And it has to do with Choi Eun Ok.
Who are you looking for?
My son that I lost when he was little.
If he's still alive, he'd be about your age.
Does that secret...
Have anything to do with the son Ms. Yoon Bok Hee is looking for?
It can't be.
Where is our Min Soo?
He's doing well, right? He grew up healthy and he's doing well now, right?
Tell me. You have to know!
You're his father. You took care of him, right?
Right? Right?
Yes, don't worry. He's doing well.
Beom Seo!
Like you said, I looked for him after my divorce.
Min Soo's doing really well, so don't worry about a thing.
Where is he now? What do I have to do to meet him?
He lives in the States.
He met kind adoptive parents and grew up well.
Please, just let me see him once even if it's from afar.
I won't tell him who I am, so please let me see him.
Min Soo, I'll get to see you soon.
Thank you for growing up well. Thank you.
Where is Min Soo now?
He's working in Silicon Valley or something. Somewhere really nice.
He did well in school, he's handsome and he's a kind person, I hear.
You must be very happy.
So when do you get to see him?
He thinks his adoptive parents are his real parents, so I can't just show up.
He said he'd find out when he goes back to the States this time.
Anyway, that's a big relief, Ma'am.
Yes, I'm so grateful.
Starting tomorrow, I'll be more diligent about my exercise and treatment.
So I can meet Min Soo with a clear mind.
Tell me. You have to know!
You're his father. You took care of him, right?
Right, right?
You must have suffered too, to go this far to stop it.
Of course, how could we forget the sin we committed against her?
If we just forgot it and had a happy life, then we're not really human beings anymore.
I'm also regretting what I did to Min Soo.
Come quickly and have some chicken!
What's with all this, Ha Pil?
It's my Mom's treat for everyone.
I see. I'll definitely enjoy it.
Ki Nam... have a big glass...
And forgive everything Jum Soon has done so far...
And let's be really successful after getting the funding.
And Youg Yi, let me pour you a glass too.
I'm really sorry about talking all that nonsense to you.
If you know it, be nice to me.
It's a tough world out there, so how could the family fight?
The only ones in the world on my side are my family.
Happiness is when we take care of each other. Get it?
Yes, yes.
To commemorate that, my dear...
Here's a chicken leg for you.
- You should have it. - You have it.
Good job today. Here, cheers!
That's the love between a husband and wife.
Man, those cheeks are going to explode! I wish I could slap that mouth!
Wow, chicken!
- It looks delicious! - Have some.
Go Eun, what about your uncle? Is he still at the office?
He's busy arguing right now.
Arguing?
Why are you crying now?
I'm asking why you're crying. Why are you crying?
Are you upset because I told you to leave?
Or are you trying to trick me because men are weak for women who cry?
That's not it.
- Then why are you crying? - Because tears just come up.
So why the tears?
Because I'm really pathetic.
I know it too...
That to you, I look really selfish and useless, with no principles.
If you know that, you should be walking out on your own.
Why are you still standing here?
Do you really want this company to close down?
- Still... - No need to talk anymore.
If you've actually realized what you are, then don't ever come back.
Wait!
Please wait, sir.
I can't do that.
Even if you kick me out, I'll keep coming back until you say yes.
You're really hopeless.
Come with me.
Go.
- Sir... - Go now!
- Please... - Go now.
No matter how mean you are to me, I can't leave like this.
I won't leave as this terrible, pathetic, and useless woman.
What's that?
- Look! - I'm going to transform myself.
I'm going to transform myself into a cool, capable, hardworking woman.
I really want to show you that woman!
Why? Who wants to see you transformed?
Why do you want to show me that?
What's the reason?
Ms. Go Young Chae!
It was the first time...
You, I mean.
Someone who believed in me and had expectations of me.
That's why I don't want to disappoint you. That's why.
So please give me one more chance. Just one more.
If I disappoint you again, I really won't show up anymore.
Look, I'm getting better.
I didn't fool around at home, I kept designing.
Please.
Ms. Go Young Chae. You really don't understand.
Why are you still bothering him at this hour?
This is no use, so please go back.
Young Chae...
It's too late to turn back.
It must have been hard on you all day, so go home now.
Sir, I beg you. If you give me just one more chance, I'll do really well...
Ms. Go Young Chae.
You probably don't know because it's your first time...
But you can't just have it your way in this world.
We have to start manufacturing early tomorrow morning...
But we can't even go to bed because of you.
The fact that you only think about yourself like this doesn't suit us, either.
Please leave now.
Hoon Nam, you should go inside now.
Go Eun, kick her out and lock the door. Young Yi, let's go.
Young Chae, I'm sorry. Should I walk you to the bus stop?
Please let me ask you for a favor.
Yes, what's going on?
You're not asleep yet?
What did you decide on Go Young Chae? Did you allow the competition?
I heard you said yes.
I thought it would be okay.
The clothes are for the second presentation anyway, so it'll be helpful.
Han Se Ah will also work harder if she has competition...
So there's nothing to lose.
Let's decide on it during the meeting on Monday.
Bye.
What did Jang Hoon Nam say?
He wants to decide at the meeting...
But he doesn't seem to want it.
What's your reason for having this competition?
She promised me.
If she loses the competition, she'll give up the company and Hoon Nam.
So you'll get rid of all your headaches at once?
Take a look, I'm getting better.
I didn't fool around at home, I kept designing.
I thought this would help you, so I came by on my way home.
What are these for?
I told you before...
They're the ones Han Se Ah designed that had a sale of over one billion won in an hour.
It fits well and it goes with different outfits.
If she designs something like this for us, we'll be really successful, too.
Of course. Se Ah wants to go with this concept, too.
So it's okay to get your hopes up.
What about... Hoon Nam?
Oh my. I'll go get Hoon Nam and bring some tea.
Don't worry about anything and just trust Han Se Ah now.
She's really good.
Soo Jin... I'm going to ask you a question.
You two... are over, right?
If not... please get over him.
Hoon Nam will never go back to you...
And then it will be hard for you.
You understand, right?
I'll go wash my hands.
Hi Mom.
I told you, I can't come home tonight.
I'm staying at the office. I mean, I'm working all night.
What do you mean, why? Because I have to work.
I'm not at a club!
Fine, I'll take a picture and send it to you.
Seriously? She still thinks I'm the same Go Young Chae from the past?
I'm hungry.
I skipped lunch and dinner and now it's too late to eat.
What should I do?
My brain isn't working because I'm hungry.
I'm going to transform myself.
I'll transform myself into a cool, capable and hardworking woman.
And I really want to show you that woman!
Please don't ask me anything...
Just let me work.
I'll really do my best.
This is the first time someone told me that.
You can shine... I'll trust you...
No one ever told me that until now.
Miss! Miss!
Yes? Sir, what's going on?
Get out.
No, I can't. I don't want to. I said I'm not leaving.
Follow me.
Sir!
Let go of me. I'm not leaving! Let me go!
- Follow me! - Wait, wait.
Sir!
Go ahead.
You said you were hungry. Go ahead and eat.
You're going to feed me and kick me out because you feel bad for me.
I don't need to eat, so please...
Are you so used to fancy stuff that you haven't had potato stew before?
Go ahead. You must be hungry.
What? You don't know how to eat?
Here.
Hold it like this... and eat.
What is it? You don't like potato stew?
I...
I've never had such warm potato stew before.
You must be really hungry.
So why did you do the things no one asked you to do like skipping meals?
Here. Don't be picky and eat the vegetables, too.
What? Am I really the first man to take care of you like this?
Hurry up and eat. You should go home.
Why don't you walk faster?
How can I walk fast? This is the last time...
That we'll walk to work together.
Anyway, thanks for everything.
Since President and Mrs. Jang want me to leave, I can't keep insisting anymore.
Go Eun was right...
When you say no, you really mean no.
What do you call it?
'Reversing course?'
Right? You really could 'reverse course.'
But because of you, I'll stop 'reversing course...'
I mean, I'll stop 'never reversing course.'
Excuse me?
You promised that you'd never show up again if you lose this competition?
Can you keep that promise?
Sir... That means...
Go home before the bus service is over.
Thank you, sir! Thank you, thank you!
What's wrong with you?
I'm sorry, I was just so happy...
I wish I could buy you an expensive suit at a fancy shop in a department store.
- Together with a shirt. - Miss!
I know. I won't do that anymore. I mean, I can't do it.
I'll never disappoint you again. I'll work really, really hard.
Got it, just go home now. Stop making noise in the neighborhood.
Okay, I'll really work hard. I'll really transform myself.
- Sir! - Watch out!
Did you get hurt?
Watch where you're going!
I'm not hurt. I'm fine. No problem.
I'll get going now.
Go Young Chae!
Sir...
Watch out!
So careless.
How long has it been since the last time I saw meat?
Mom, did you win the lottery? What happened? Giving us meat and all.
What else could it be?
I scared her by saying I'd check her budget, so she's using money more wisely now. Right?
Money makes even a dog into a gentleman.
Now that you've given me a little money you're going to nit-pick everything?
Young Chae, eat a lot of this.
You need to eat some meat and gather strength to compete with a famous designer.
So good! How was it seasoned so perfectly?
Mom, did something good happen to you?
Now that I'm looking at you, you even have makeup on so early in the morning.
Look at the color of her outfit. What is it? Why are you smiling so much?
There is something.
The happy news I've been waiting for came from abroad.
Abroad?
That means it's done! We're saved! Abroad?
That means it's done! We're saved!
What is it?
What do you mean, what? We're starting construction in Cebu again, right?
How many times do I have to say it? That money's long gone!
Eat and go to work already!
I'm so full. Take the dishes to the sink after you eat.
She's answering the phone alone?
That's what a woman in a relationship does.
Mom must really be dating someone.
- It's me. - Did you get home okay last night?
I'm going back soon, so I wanted to say good-bye.
Leaving already?
What are you doing today?
I have a few things to buy, so I'm going to a department store.
That's good. Let's meet today.
The line is busy, so you will be transferred to voice mail...
Why is the line so busy?
Then you should make up with him this time.
There is no reason for you to hesitate.
Let's have dinner together. I have something to tell you.
How many times do I have to tell you?
I don't have any relationship with Manager Kim!
What are you doing right now?
Did you just go through my jacket? And my phone?
Yes, I went through them.
I went through them to make sure what you said was true. So?
Now you're open about your insanity.
Who wouldn't go insane when I'm accused of being delusional for no reason?
There is no need to talk...
Just go to Dr. Hong today!
Before I admit you to a mental institution for having serious delusions!
Mental institution?
Is that what you have to say?
Even if I made a mistake...
How can you say that to a woman who gave birth to your child?
Would I say that if you were normal?
I'm trying to let it go, but you're just getting worse!
Honestly, have you ever made me feel comfortable when I come back from work?
You're always crying after getting scolded by Mother...
Now you suspect me of cheating?
Jang Ho. What are you doing so early in the morning?
Mom's feeling good for once, do you want to ruin her mood?
Da Jung, stop with the fuss and come out.
I'm warning you...
Don't take my word so lightly.
If you show another symptom of being delusional, I'm really sending you to Dr. Hong.
Got it?
They are really a match made in heaven. Completely denying what they've done.
Fine, if you're going to be that way, I'll get proof.
So that I won't end up in a mental institution.
What is this?
- Monkey! This is monkey! - That's good!
You've been to a zoo, right? What did you like best at the zoo?
I've never been there.
Really? Why? Because your dad's busy?
No. Dad said I'll get sick if I go to a crowded place with bad air.
Oh my god.
You're so concerned about health, but you're cheating?
That's a sure way for men to die early.
Teacher, what does the zoo look like?
Does it really look like this book?
No. It's much bigger than this and much nicer than this.
When you finish this book, your mom and I will take you to a zoo.
Wow! I wish you were my dad!
Still, your dad loves you a lot.
A hundred times more than I do.
We're done with the lesson. Do you want to go for a walk with Ji Woo?
Yeah.
What are you hiding there?
The password is the same, so I opened his email...
But it's clean.
They see each other at work, so why would they need to exchange emails?
Would there be another way to find a proof?
There is only one. To catch them at the scene.
Have someone follow them, then if they go into a hotel...
No I can't. I don't think I can do that.
Unless I'm ready to leave him. If I go that far...
I won't be able to face him again.
Then what will you do? Live like a delusional person just like that fox's wish?
That's why I need proof.
What's this? A letter?
Hey, let's go through this.
If he ever got caught for speeding, he'll have had his picture taken.
Really?
Hold on.
What's this?
Property tax notice?
I don't know about this studio.
Someone else takes care of these things, so we don't get notices like this.
It looks like he bought it last year under his name.
What? Then this must be a sponsorship I've only heard about?
Mr. President, this is the presentation material for tomorrow.
Please review and practice it today.
Again?
Why are they doing this so often?
Is there any assistant who can take care of this?
- Sir! - I know.
Give me a good summary on this. And a list of expected questions, too.
Don't worry. I'll be by your side when you present tomorrow.
If you weren't here, I'd have quit this job a long time ago.
The best things come to those who wait...
I just didn't know that.
I grabbed a useless one and made my life a mess.
I'm grateful that you've realized that.
Just in words?
Would you like to have a glass of wine tonight?
At my place?
Arles Officetel... that must be it.
How does it look? Is it correct?
Unbelievable.
This man!
What are you doing?
Thank you for your hard work.
We have a question...
Are you familiar with the single lady who lives in 404?
Oh, the pretty lady?
She's not single.
I think she's newly married.
- Newly married? - Yes.
A young man comes with her.
Sir, does he...
Look like this?
Maybe...
He drives a big foreign car.
Oh, then it's him. The black foreign car.
- Young Soo... - Keep yourself together.
If you fall apart now, it's only your loss.
Since you worked hard, take a nap until we get home.
I'm the happiest man in the world right now.
No nagging from Mom, my wife, or Ji Woo.
Not as a good son, a good husband, or a good dad...
I can just be a good man.
Then... what am I to you?
Huh?
I'm sleeping.
This is as far as it goes, so shut up?
[I'll be late because of a meeting.]
[I'll get home at dawn, so don't wait up.]
He says he's coming home in the morning, so I'm sure he's coming here.
Does that mean we're finally catching him in the act?
Young Soo, you have to help me.
Take pictures so that they can't accuse me of being crazy.
Then let's start with recording. Give me your phone.
Make sure to keep this with you.
He's coming.
Don't stop me.
Da Jung!
No... Suppose I get involved, and they ask, 'Who are you?'
No no... I can't get fired.
What's all this?
Where is he?
What are you talking about? Who is 'he?'
Why on earth are you doing this, ma'am?
You don't know? Where did you hide him?
Why are you driving his car without the driver?
There you go again...
My car broke down, so the President was being kind to me.
Now I explained to you, may I go in?
Who said you could go anywhere?
You live in 404 in this building, right?
But it's under my husband's name.
Is he... your sponsor that I've only heard about?
You play his girlfriend for an apartment?
Watch your words!
How can you say 'a sponsor'?
Do I look that cheap to you?
What?
President received investment shares in this apartment.
And he lent it to me as part of my employee benefits.
And it helps with keeping costs down, too.
You didn't know any of that, did you?
Since you stay at home and take care of the kid.
You think I'll fall for those words again?
Keeping costs down?
He can't rent out this fancy apartment in the middle of Gangnam?
He just happened to lend it to a single female secretary?
Look here, ma'am.
I've given you a warning.
If you ever provoke me again, you wouldn't be able to keep your seat.
If you don't want to get treated for being delusional...
Delusional?
You think I'd let you ruin me again?
I already checked with the security guard.
Your so-called husband that comes by here...
Is actually my husband.
Now the evidence is clear...
So if you tell on my Mother again...
You'll be the one going to the mental institution.
Understood?
Lady, you still don't know me.
I can do whatever I have to.
You really picked the wrong person.
Look here, ma'am.
I gave you a warning.
If you provoke me again, you won't be able to keep your seat.
If you don't want to get treated for being delusional...
It recorded everything.
Now that I have this, Mother would believe me, too.
Wow, it's scary.
Are you really the pork belly?
When you were hitting her with your purse, I thought you were a martial arts fighter.
Even the ghosts ignore the nice people.
I'll live with poison in my heart from now on.
Mom, what is that?
It's a marriage registration form.
Your father and I went to the county office during our lunch break.
I still can't tell if it's real or just a dream.
So this is really it?
Proof that you're no longer single?
Yes! It's proof that I'm not single anymore at the age of 50.
Woman!
Fif... Fifty?
But, but... you're not 45?
Well... it's the same difference.
What does it matter, between us?
What do I do?
I got fooled. You really tricked me!
How can you be 10 years older than me?
Dad, you're surprised, too? Mom looks a little young.
That's right.
When I go outside with Ha Pil, everyone calls me a young bride.
What, they don't call you a sister?
I'm going crazy...
I got married into a silvertown!
What's this, Young Yi?
Go Eun left it there just now. She said it's a gift for you.
A gift?
Sir, I'm so grateful that I couldn't just do nothing.
It's from my heart, so please accept it.
And... you're an angel without wings.
Angel?
Someone must be happy.
Go Young Chae is a bit silly. Nice words become brown-nosing if they go too far.
She's really got many different sides.
Did you finish drawing everything I asked you to do?
No. I was busy making your gift, so I haven't done it yet.
I knew this would happen.
Why did you do something I didn't ask for, but not the thing I asked?
This fabric, needle work, thread, time...
They're all this company's property. So don't waste time for nothing.
Understood?
And I'm telling you...
I'm not an angel without wings.
I have wings here.
By the way, when do we start using the air-conditioner?
I'm dying of heat.
Look at you!
Don't you know the whole country is suffering a shortage of electricity?
Still, it's so hot, I'm going to die.
- Come with me. - What?
Where again?
Pick one.
- Excuse me? - You said it's so hot you're going to die.
I can't let my employee die, so have one and get back to work.
Okay, I get it.
I'm yet again the first man to buy you an ice cream when it's hot.
Here.
Have the most expensive ice cream.
So good.
If it gets hot again, you have to buy me another one before I pass out.
I'll buy you everything you want to eat...
So work hard on your design and win the competition.
So you want me to win?
Right? You're on my side!
There are no sides!
You said you wouldn't disappoint me.
You need three things to succeed.
Talent, passion, and effort.
You have talent, and you like clothes so you seem to have passion too...
So you just need to put in effort. Okay?
Okay, I get it.
You've never heard this before.
Let's go.
I'm going to drop my ice cream!
You're really confident, right?
I already told you.
I could draw the design with my toes, and it would still be enough.
I have to get rid of her this time, no matter what it takes.
Otherwise, I feel like something will really happen between them.
Why don't you meet someone else?
Even if you win him over, what will you do about your mother?
Mom asked me before...
Whether I'd choose her or Hoon Nam.
I couldn't answer her before...
Now I think I can.
Sure. I'll just watch a presentation and eat some rice cake.
How is it?
It looks good. Why don't you try it on?
I'll just buy it. It's embarrassing.
I just wanted to buy some clothes for Min Soo.
It's my gift, so I have to like it.
Go ahead and try it on.
Please follow me.
Give me your purse.
Don't go anywhere. I'll be right out.
It's a recent photo of your daughter.
Soo Jin.
I'm your dad.
It's been a long time.
Should we go somewhere and chat...
How do I look, Min Soo's dad?
Your wife is so beautiful, it looks great on her.
Should I say it? That you're fired?
I'm sorry, Manager Kim.
You need to learn your lesson. Let go! Let go of me right now!
I don't need your clothes.
You lost your last chance in life.
This is heaven's punishment I'm giving you.
Tell me what illness she has.
She has early stage Alzheimer.
