(Episode 56) Bom disappeared.
My daughter has disappeared?
What do you mean?
Paran.
Where's Paran?
We were told she was here.
We were told our child was here.
I'll look for her.
Has Paran gone missing again?
If she has,
what am I going to do?
Paran hasn't gone missing.
Don't worry.
My daughter didn't want to see me, so she left.
She left because she knew I was coming.
My daughter...
Ms. Bae is your birth mother.
She's looking for you.
No way.
Bom.
Bom, where are you going?
Are you running away?
Let go.
What do you care?
Let go of me.
Of course I care.
What did I tell you?
I said I'd follow you wherever you went.
You found your parents for whom you longed.
They're not the people I was looking for.
Bom.
The parents I longed for aren't people like them.
My mother isn't Ms. Bae, who chased me away,
and my dad isn't Mr. Choi, who accused me.
Paran hates me.
Of course she does
after what I did to her.
I chased my daughter away like a stray cat.
I chased my daughter away.
You didn't know it was her.
How is that an excuse?
I'll find her for you, no matter what.
I'll bring her back no matter what.
No one is to blame or criticize.
The mother heartlessly chased the daughter away,
so the daughter turned heartless too.
You two are the same.
The mother who found the daughter,
and the daughter who ran away from her mother...
It's all my fault.
It was my wrongdoing.
Let's go to Ms. Bae.
Your mother is waiting for you.
I don't care whether or not she's waiting.
Do you know how long they've looked for you?
Since learning about you, Ms. Bae hasn't
been able to eat or drink, waiting for your return.
Kang Maru, stop it.
I don't want to see them.
But they're your birth parents.
So what if they are?
It's not like there's fondness between us.
All they did was hurt me,
so I can I accept them?
Relay my message to them for me.
Tell them to leave me alone and have a great life.
I dealt with bankruptcy,
a lot of backbreaking work,
my parents' death,
and the care of my siblings.
But I don't know how to deal with this.
Do you remember when Bom first came to us?
She looked like a ragged little squirrel.
Seeing her like that, sweet Yeongho
felt he had to do something.
There's no way he could send her away.
Oh, my goodness.
Geez, Paran.
Bom. Goodness me.
I'm sorry I took off without telling anyone.
Hey, where were you?
It was mayhem here because of you.
Where were you?
Okay, fine.
I'll tell you where I'm going from now on,
so don't worry.
They say you're Ms. Bae's missing daughter.
Huh? So you knew?
What difference does that make?
Of course it makes a difference.
Everyone knows you're not my biological daughter,
so that's no shocker,
but you're Punggildang's CEO's missing baby girl.
Your mother came here and caused a scene,
demanding that she get you back.
You should go.
Go live with her.
Go. Go.
- Midal. / - Mom, what are you doing?
Hurry up and go.
Midal.
Go.
Go live with her.
It was a headache raising you,
and you're still causing trouble.
Stop it, mom.
Don't even call me "mom."
Go!
Mom, do you really think I'll leave?
I'm not going anywhere!
I can't!
I'm not your mom.
All you did was suck me dry.
You're an ingrate.
I know you're my stepmom.
But I still like that you're my mom.
It doesn't look like you'll marry Mr. Ma,
and all you do is fuel disgraceful rumors.
I don't want a troublemaker like you
under my wings,
so you're on your own now.
You're telling me to leave again, mom?
Stop it, will you?
Get out.
That wretched thing.
She stuck by me even though
I was so mean to her.
I don't want her to leave.
What if she really goes away
now that she's found her birth mother?
Lie down.
You'll pass out.
Why can't you pull yourself together
now that we've found our daughter?
I regret that I even slept
after forsaking my daughter.
When I was sleeping comfortably,
my daughter wasn't.
I know how tough my daughter has it,
so how can I lie down when
I haven't brought her home yet?
Huh? It's Bom.
Bom is here.
Our Paran is here?
Paran is here?
Paran.
Paran...
Goodness me. I didn't know.
I didn't know it was you, my lamb.
I'm sorry.
How could I throw water on our little lamb?
I heard I was your daughter, which I find
had to believe, so I'm here for confirmation.
Right. I can't believe it either.
But why are you so cold to your parents?
Are you really of our blood?
Let me look at you.
Let me see.
We can check to make sure you're really
my granddaughter.
What are you doing?
Mother, stop it.
Stop what?
We need to know if she really is your daughter
who was missing for 20 years.
Let me see.
Oh, my. Oh, my.
Oh, my. Goodness me.
Paran!
I didn't know you all knew about this scar.
You got burned because I wasn't careful.
I'm sorry I didn't recognize you.
We could have found you sooner.
I'm sorry.
How can your apology be any consolation?
Right. Saying sorry isn't enough...
I got burned because you neglected me,
and then you abandoned me.
And now you come looking for me
in the name of parental love...
That's not true. That's not true at all.
We didn't just start looking for you.
I've been looking for you for 20 years.
Yet you didn't recognize me,
your darling daughter?
You've grown so much, so how could we?
Don't be unreasonable.
Your folks lived apart for years because of you.
Stop it, mom.
I know how hard you've had it.
So you must resent me all the more.
Although I was poor and had it tough,
I never despaired my circumstances.
But I am resentful now.
I left college twice because I didn't have tuition.
I did odd jobs even in the dead of winter.
I slept on a mat in front of the kitchen sink till
I was in high school, but I was still happy,
because I had my mom, dad and my family.
But now that I know you're my birth parents,
it's upsetting that I had to live like that.
While you were living it up in a house like this,
I had to give up my hopes and dreams
over chump change.
Bom, we've had it tough too.
After our mom passed away,
we lived at your mom's pub.
But you had been pampered until then.
I had no one to turn to even just to whine.
That's how my heart became calloused,
and I learned to endure.
And now you show up?
You cast me away so cruelly just a few days ago.
How did it feel to learn that I was your daughter?
Don't cry, Aunt Gukhui.
So why did you forsake me twice?
I didn't.
This happened because
your so-called father took you.
We never forsook you.
Who are you blaming?
My dad saved me and raised me.
You're right. I'm sorry.
But how can you say we forsook you twice?
You never came when I registered my DNA
and contacted the police.
You registered your DNA?
Never mind.
I came to tell you to leave me alone
and stop taking an interest in me.
Where are you going?
Paran, where are you going?
Oh Bom, you...
You're here.
My sister Paran, I'm glad you're here.
No, Paran.
You can't leave me.
Don't worry, mom.
I'll talk to her.
This...
This is the kind of mother I am.
The hands of time are so cruel.
The time you spent apart has been cruel.
Oh Bom,
I didn't know you were my sister.
I apologize if I wronged you in any way.
Did you really not know I was your sister?
If I had known, how could I have done what did?
Maybe you didn't know at first,
but didn't my hair pin give me away?
That's probably why you hated me more.
Because I'm your sister.
That's why you framed me.
Fine. Let's say I did.
You're right.
I hated you. I was upset.
I was upset that you stole Taeho and mom from me.
Don't worry about me anymore.
Like I told Ms. Bae,
let's just live like strangers.
How can mom do that?
I'm sure you hate me,
but come home for mom's sake.
You and I are sisters after all.
We should forget the past and make this work.
I'm sorry.
So let's go in now if you have the mind to
instead of making matters worse.
I'm not going in.
If you want to live like strangers,
why did you even come here?
That's not what you really want.
You do want to come home.
Like I said, that's not true.
Of course you want to.
I know what you're like.
You're always trying
to steal what's not yours.
Please stop it.
Stop what?
I'm so ashamed that you're my sister.
Everyone knows who you are now,
so don't disgrace the family
with your pathetic, lowly existence.
Know your place and live quietly somewhere.
Hey!
What happened?
Where's Paran?
I begged her to forget the past
and live with us,
but she refused to.
I should have talked to her.
What difference would that have made?
After the awful fight you two had,
why would she listen to you?
We finally found Paran,
but what if she never comes home?
It's all my fault.
You made the right decision.
Don't you dare come here.
Aran.
Mom.
Why do you have this?
Bom gave it to me.
Why would Paran give this to you?
Um...
Are you hiding something from me?
Of course not.
And it's just a hair pin.
We found Paran.
I don't know.
I really don't know.
What do you mean?
Mom! Mom!
Mom, what are you thinking?
Do you think I knew about Paran
but kept it from you?
Did you?
Mom.
I'm so ashamed that you're my sister.
Everyone knows who you are now,
so don't disgrace the family
with your pathetic, lowly existence.
Know your place and live quietly somewhere.
I won't be a pushover anymore.
Please, please believe me.
Tell me.
Why did you have Paran's hair pin?
You did know Bom was Paran
but kept it from me.
That's not true.
You have it all wrong!
That hair pain...
Paran.
You...
That hair pin...
I gave it to her just now
to return it to you.
Paran.
Is that really true?
And I came to tell you I'm Oh Bom, not Paran.
I won't be a nuisance to this family,
so don't worry.
Goodbye.
Bom,
you're leaving?
Paran.
Don't go.
Paran.
Why did she lie?
Why did she help me?
What does she expect me to do?
I just don't get it.
Paran said she had registered her DNA
and the cops contacted her.
But you were never notified?
No.
How can that be?
I did make Mr. An my proxy...
What are you doing here this late an hour?
What did you do?
Our daughter registered her DNA, but you refused
to see her when the police called!
Why are you being like this to my husband?
Why are you blaming him about your daughter?
Calm down, Jeonggi.
We should let Mr. An explain.
Well, you see...
I registered my DNA and
waited day and night.
So what is the meaning of this?
Please tell me what happened.
Gilsu, why are you taking this?
Say something.
This is so unfair.
I had gotten so many prank calls that
I must have thought it was another prank call.
That's just ridiculous!
Even just a few hours ago,
I got a call that someone saw Paran in Busan.
I've gotten so many calls like that.
I never told you, Ms. Bae,
but over the past 20 years,
I've gone to all corners of this country
upon getting calls about Paran.
That's right.
I'm the only one who knows how hard you tried.
How would anyone else know?
I'm sorry.
I never thought that call was real and that
Paran had been really found.
We've all had it so tough...
We're sorry, Mr. An.
You should be.
Why are you blaming him when you didn't recognize
your own child?
You're right.
I failed to recognize my own child,
so how can I blame Mr. An?
How many close calls over Paran have there been?
How can they be so shameless?
They failed to recognize their child
and yet they come here and throw a fit.
It was hard holding myself back from
giving them a piece of my mind.
Forget it. That's enough.
All that matters is that she's been found.
How can you say that after what they did to you?
My poor husband. I feel so sorry for you.
You got an earful
over a single slipup.
Wait, their youngest girl has shown up.
That means Aran is the waning moon and
Oh Bom is the rising sun.
But Aran still is the eldest.
Geez. Who am I supposed to side with?
(Closed for the Day)
Closed? No way.
Chowon Pub never closes.
Bom.
Um...
It turns out I'm Ms. Bae's missing daughter.
But that makes no difference to me.
I told them that too.
No matter what happens,
my feelings for you won't change.
You want to be like this under the circumstances?
This is why you shouldn't come home.
You acted like you were covering for me,
so how can you betray me like this?
Do you think I was covering for you?
What were you doing?
I felt sorry for you.
You told a lie you couldn't handle
and didn't know what to do.
What?
Who are you to pity me?
Stop it, Choi Aran.
Everything's gone awry since you showed up.
It's all your fault.
Let's go.
Hey.
It won't take long.
There was something familiar about you
right from the start.
And lo and behold, you are Paran.
My goodness.
Do you remember the pink polka-dotted top I got you?
You're wearing that top and the yellow hair pin
in the picture on the flier.
And that's how you found your parents.
What is it that you want to say to me?
What?
Nothing in particular.
I just want us to overcome
our misunderstandings and be friends.
I said a few things you may not have liked
and hit you lightly, but you must know
it was out of my interest in you, right?
If that's all,
I'll get going.
Hey, wait.
I'm not against your seeing Taeho at all.
What's wrong with young people loving and dating?
Bom! I mean, Paran!
What am I doing, trying to get through to her?
Geez.
It's so hard marrying my son into Punggildang.
- Bom. / - But...
Mom, what makes Chowon Pub special?
We're open 365 days a year.
We never keep a patron from coming,
and we always keep a patron from leaving.
I had finally managed to kick you out,
so why are you back here being pathetic?
Just go to Ms. Bae!
Yes, Bom. Your being here resolves nothing.
It's only right that you go to your birth mother.
I don't know what's right.
You are my niece regardless,
so no matter where you go,
you know I love you and support you, right?
I'm not going anywhere, Uncle Baedal.
What? Why not?
Ask anyone out there what's better:
doing dishes at this dingy pub
or living it up with your rich mother.
You're such a fool.
What am I going to do with you?
I'm going to live with you and your badgering.
Please, Bom.
Your birth mother died inside many times over.
The right thing to do is let go of your attachment
to this family and go to your mom.
Why are you trying to shoo Bom away?
Forget about it. I'm not going.
Why would I leave my home?
- Goodness me. / - Hey. Hey.
Wow. This is nuts.
So Bom was Ms. Bae's missing daughter,
the second in line to inherit Punggildang.
I hope I didn't get in her bad books in any way.
I hope you didn't try to flirt with her.
Geez.
A virtuous man like me? Never.
I never told you this,
but did you know it was me who brought Bom
from the wine bar to HQ and made
this dramatic reunion possible?
No way.
I swear.
About that rumor concerning the love triangle
between Mr. An, Ms. Choi, and Bom...
No, no. No way.
Yes, it's just a rumor.
What about the recipe for the restored wine?
Nothing went wrong thereafter,
so that's been resolved...
Then what about you?
Are you going to sustain your close
and personal relationship to Bom?
Yes, we're still doing well.
Oh...
That complicates matters.
I'll quit when I must, but
I won't leave loose ends hanging.
Geez.
Are you doing shoddy work because
the head of the team isn't here?
Did you go to the supermarket this week?
We were planning to go this afternoon.
I figured, so I went myself.
Punggildang products were in a corner
collecting dust.
Oh, uh...
Mr. Kang, as an entry-level,
you should be out doing a lot of legwork,
not forgetting your place
and pursuing impertinent matters.
I'm sorry.
Go to the supermarket right now
and get our products displayed in the center.
Could you change the placement of our products?
I'm begging you.
You promised you'd put them in the center.
Geez, what's with all this yammering?
Sir. Sir.
Hey, Punggildang, what are you doing?
Who asked you to rearrange those?
Our wines were collecting dust in the corner,
so I'm dusting them and reorganizing.
That won't do you any good.
I won't give Punggildang the center spot.
If I knew what was bothering you,
I'd make it go away.
I'm not good at reading minds,
but I can tidy this up
to make it look nicer.
Sir, after I rearranged them,
there's a bit of space left.
Could I display just one more row of our wines?
I'll go ahead and use this space then.
I heard our yeonmiju is doing well.
I'll put that right here, okay?
There's no way to get the better of you.
Thank you.
I'll take that as a yes and display the wine here.
Oh Bom, this is it and no more.
Maru. Maru.
How did you do it?
The supermarket called.
They said you did grunt work with
Ms. Bae's youngest daughter
and changed the display placement.
Pardon? What did you just say?
If I knew Bom was going with you,
I would have come to win brownie points.
What a shame.
Maru, where are you going?
Ma'am,
what did you put in this soup?
Pardon?
Did you find something that didn't belong there?
This is my first soup upon returning to Korea
in 20 years, and it tastes just like it used to.
How did you make it?
Oh, I see.
I've been making this soup for 20 years.
I'm grateful that you enjoyed it.
I'd like another bowl, please.
Of course.
I made this soup for 20 years
to raise a child not my own.
She won't leave even if I tell to, will she?
No. She can't leave.
What's wrong with you?
What do you mean?
Why are you rearranging wines at a supermarket?
You reunited with your parents after 20 years.
But your misunderstandings with them
are making this reunion a curse,
so why are you at a store rearranging wines?
I was finishing my job at Punggildang.
Listen to me.
You're smart.
Resolve the misunderstandings with your parents.
Don't be stupid
and work through any hard feelings.
It's none of your business.
- Oh, wow. / - Enjoy.
Why is that spindly kid back here?
Hey.
Ma'am.
Mom!
What did I tell you?
You said I mistreated Bom, didn't you?
So is that why you told them I was
a mean stepmother?
Fine. Tell on me if you will.
And the water I threw at you
is for that entire family, so now go.
Maru!
How dare he?
Ma'am,
I don't know what that was about,
but how could you throw water at someone
in the dead of winter?
How is this any business of yours?
I'm closing for the day,
so please go
instead of picking on me.
Geez.
The recipient is unavailable...
She's not answering.
What if we really lose Paran again?
This won't do. I have to get my daughter back.
Let's not be rash.
Let's give her time to think.
That's right.
We know where she lives now,
so she won't go anywhere.
There's not much we can do.
Time will only deepen her resentment.
I have to get her home no matter what.
Neither Bom nor Midal can do it.
We have to be strong and
send her to her birth parents.
Hon, I'm not sure if we're doing the right thing.
Jeongmi, what are you doing in this room?
We think Bom should go to her birth parents.
Who says?
Midal,
put Bom first.
It's much better for her to
live there than here.
I can't let Bom go without a fight.
How can I let my daughter go
after raising her
on a shoestring budget?
Why? Did that woman ask you for Bom?
Did she?
Midal! Midal!
Paran,
what are you doing here?
Let's go.
Let's go home.
What is the meaning of this?
I'm taking my daughter.
Mind your own business.
How is Bom your daughter?
Let go of her hand.
I don't know either whether I'm Oh Bom or Paran.
I don't know who I am either.
Ms. Bae is decorating your room.
What am I supposed to do then?
They are your parents regardless.
Reconnect and reconcile
with them when you can.
I won't ask you for anything else.
Please watch a movie with me.
Go to your rich mother and get us some money.
No, I don't want to.
Hey,
I'm not telling you to live here.
Open these when you get home.
No, thank you.
Couldn't you spend just one night here?
