[Episode 39] This is the Missing Children Center.
We're calling about the DNA test results.
Where did you say you're calling from?
Are you Ms. Bae Gukhui?
You found someone who matches my DNA?
Hold on.
You mean those people are my birth parents?
Yes. The DNA indicates you are family.
Please come tomorrow to confirm.
Okay, I'll do that.
Thank you.
Could you please say it once more?
Where are you calling from?
If I go to the National Police Agency tomorrow,
I can meet her?
All right. I understand.
They found Paran?
Ms. Bae.
Is something wrong?
It was a wrong number.
I see.
Mr. An.
Yes?
It's been over 20 years since we all got together.
Yes, you're right.
Thank you for everything.
You've taken care of Aran while I was busy,
and you're giving us your wonderful son.
Please don't say that.
I'm grateful to you for everything.
Bom, I...
What's wrong? Did something happen?
Maru, I found them.
Found what?
Did the DNA place call you?
I knew it.
I knew you would hear good news.
But I feel strange.
I thought I'd be happy, but I'm not at all.
I'm scared and worried.
What are you worried about?
Your birth parents have been looking for you, too.
This is great. It's such a relief.
It was just the parents today, so next time,
why don't we have our entire families meet?
There's no need for that.
We can all meet at the engagement party.
Since Mr. Choi is here as the head of the family,
it feels like a whole family.
Thank you.
Why don't we hold the engagement party this year?
Actually, about the engagement party...
I'm sorry to say this to you,
but we want to set the date on our own.
Taeho has his schedule to arrange.
Let's do that, Taeho.
Is that what you want?
What do you think, Mr. An?
Mr. An.
Ah, what?
Why are you breaking out in a cold sweat?
Are you feeling unwell?
I'm sorry.
I'm not feeling so well today.
Could we end the dinner early, please?
Of course.
Let's allow the kids set the engagement party date,
and end our dinner here.
All right.
What were you about to say, Taeho?
Were you about to break off the engagement?
Aran, let's go back to being friends.
That's ridiculous.
How can we be friends?
I'd rather be your enemy
than your friend.
I'd rather hate you for the rest of my life.
Aran.
Can you be happy
if we break up like this?
You'll meet a good man.
Can you love someone else besides me?
Is something wrong?
No.
We were talking about when to get engaged.
Really?
I'll keep my eye on you, Aran.
Don't nag my son too much.
I don't nag at Taeho, mother.
Right, Taeho?
(Looking for a Missing Child)
(Looking for a Lost Child)
(Confirmation of DNA Registration)
Where has she been hiding?
I've been searching her for 20 years!
Why did she have to show up now
after all these years?
Mr. An.
Are you not feeling well?
Shouldn't you go see a doctor?
I'm fine.
You should go home and rest.
You've been working too hard
doing the promotion and recruiting Master Kim.
I'm sorry for making you worry.
(Confirmation of DNA Registration)
This document...
Is it because of Paran?
I...
You must've been upset that Paran wasn't at dinner.
I thought a lot about her today, too.
You can't forget some things, even if you want to.
I'm keeping Paran in my heart.
Put your mind at ease now.
It's okay to move on.
Bom.
I'm sure your birth parents are great people.
Yeah...
What if I hadn't tried to find them?
I don't know.
Would they have moved on?
I would've lived happily without knowing them.
Just like now, with mom and Ga-eul.
I'm worried about what'll happen after I meet them.
Isn't that kind of a selfish thought?
What about your birth parents?
They registered their DNA and have been waiting.
This is so complicated.
I don't know if this is good or not.
I feel guilty toward my mom who raised me.
I'm sure she'll understand.
It's about finding your birth parents.
Everyone will be on your side,
since it's about making you happy.
I'm on your side, too.
I'll stand by you, no matter what you decide.
Thanks.
You're getting lazier and lazier.
You should come and help out
when you get off work instead of wasting time.
I'm sorry.
Leave it. I'll do it.
Hey. You know that manager of yours?
What about him?
We need to repay him for what he did.
He brought you home when you got drunk.
I must do something in return.
Bring him to the pub sometime.
I'll treat him to a bowl of soup.
All right.
So, what about this weekend?
I'll ask him.
All right.
It's great that you're being so obedient.
Stop this. Go and rest, mom.
You can't do all this alone.
Let's do it together and then rest.
I'm surprised to see you two come in together.
Oh, how creepy.
Get rid of that doll head.
You play with that all day long.
What do you plan to become?
What else?
I'm going to become a famous hairstylist.
I'm all for it.
I don't believe this.
As her sister, you should tell her to study,
but instead, you're all for it?
Bom understands me.
Mom, you don't even care what my dream is.
Fine. You two live on your own without me.
Why did you put that thing up?
It'll only increase our electricity bill.
Get in the holiday mood.
My friend gave it to me, since you wouldn't buy one.
Yeah, since we finally have a Christmas tree,
let's take a family picture together.
Come here.
Do it without me.
You have to be in a family picture, mom.
Come here.
Oh, what a bother.
One, two, three.
Mom.
Yes?
Can I sleep in here with you tonight?
Why? Is Ga-eul grinding her teeth again?
No, I just want to sleep next to you.
Go ahead. Sleep next to me.
Do you love me, mom?
Oh, that darned love.
Yes, I love you. I love you.
I love you to death.
I love you, too, mom.
Hello?
Is this Ms. Bae Gukhui?
We're calling about the investigation on Choi Paran.
We already officially declared her missing.
Wait!
What exactly is this about?
It's nothing major.
A few months ago, an unknown man
came to the missing children center
and asked about Paran.
What man?
Thanks for today, Gukhui.
Taeho seems like a nice boy.
Have you asked about Paran at the center recently?
No.
Why?
Did someone ask about Paran?
Yes, but I guess they can't get in touch with him.
I must have been too hasty.
I rushed to declare her missing
when we still had hope of finding her.
Don't worry.
If Paran is out there,
I'll find her and bring her back.
Don't worry.
I, Lee Baedal, take this woman as my wife.
Through you, I felt true and great love.
Even if you don't cook me breakfast,
I will love you forever.
If you snore at night,
I will think of it as a lullaby.
If you fart, I'll think of it as a perfume.
I will love you forever.
I love you, Jeongmi.
Why are you crying? Stop!
I'll stop.
I, Choi Jeongmi, take this man as my husband.
Even if you end up with a beer belly,
I'll always walk holding your hand,
and if you pull on a cart, I'll push it from behind.
I'll become a reliable wife to you.
I love you.
Jeongmi.
Baedal.
Jeongmi.
- I mean, honey! / - Honey!
Say "cheese."
One, two, three.
We should be eating steak on a day like this.
I know.
How can we be eating instant noodles?
Noodles symbolize a long, happy life together.
You know so much, honey.
Uncle Baedal.
I'm congratulating you two for now,
but I'm quite concerned about your future.
Why are you concerned?
We'll live happily ever after.
Yes!
Eat some more, honey.
(Registration of Marriage)
We are now registered as a married couple.
Jeongmi.
Yes?
Honey.
Are we really married now?
I'll be so good to you.
I'll be a really good husband to you.
So where do we live now?
Where else? Of course we'll live at my house.
Your house?
Our place is quite nice.
My brother-in-law passed away recently.
I live with my sister and two nieces,
but it's been quite gloomy at home.
If you move in, we'll be like a whole family.
What are you talking about?
Hey, I can't live at your house.
Then where are you planning to live?
We should rent a small room somewhere at least.
I refuse to move into your house.
I don't have money to rent a place right now.
You...
Let's get a grip and think about this thoroughly.
I'll go back to my house and think about it,
so you go home and plan our future.
Jeongmi!
There aren't any good presents.
Jeongmi acted like she was about to die.
Where did she go that she didn't come home yet?
How frustrating.
I'm not supposed to say anything.
Oh, whatever.
Grandma, Aunt Jeongmi...
Where have you been?
Mom, I...
It's nothing.
You remember, right?
Of course.
I'll keep my mouth shut.
What are you two planning behind my back?
Nothing.
It would be a lot cheaper
to redecorate this place
than to rent a place for us.
But it really is a tiny room.
Where would we put a bed,
and where would we put a wardrobe?
Geez...
You earned a lot of money.
Come on.
We spend a lot more than I earn.
Sis.
Move over.
Sis. You like me, right?
What's wrong? You're scaring me.
Are you in trouble again?
I've messed up a lot in my life.
I promise I'll turn over a new leaf.
Can you do me a favor, please?
Hey, don't ask for anything.
It's nothing big.
Can we switch rooms?
What do you mean, switch rooms?
My room is too small for me
to live in with my wife.
I need a room at least this big
for the two of us to sleep comfortably.
Ha!
You have to move out after you get married.
No woman would agree to move in here.
You'll be single for the rest of your life.
You don't need a big room.
You'll just feel lonelier.
Ha! I'm left speechless here.
Hey, it's hard enough taking care of you.
Now you're bringing in someone else?
Don't even think about it!
Sis.
And what woman wants to live with her sister-in-law?
If you can't make a living,
don't make a woman struggle with you.
If you don't have the money to move out,
just live and die a bachelor.
Please switch rooms with me. Please?
Oh, come on!
Ms. Oh.
Look at your hand.
I'm just not used to this sifter.
I was happy about getting a nice paddle,
and now this sifter is causing problems.
They say incompetent carpenters blame their tools.
I'm doing the same thing.
Don't you have another sifter?
I have one that I'm used to at home,
but I just have to use this one today.
Why do you keep working when you're hurt?
Let's go.
Thanks for driving me home.
I'll be right back.
Take your time.
You're not going to make deliveries?
Sis, can we switch...
Don't even call yourself my brother.
Then where are we going to live?
Geez...
Where's mom?
Oh, Bom.
Will you switch rooms with me?
What are you talking about?
Have you seen my sifter?
Hey, Bom.
Why do young girls need such a big room?
Is it in storage?
Oh! Aren't you Bom's manager?
Hello. You're Ms. Oh's mother, right?
Yes. I'm Bom's mother.
You brought Bom home when she got drunk,
and I never got to thank you.
I see.
I didn't get a good look at you in the dark.
Now that I see you in daylight,
you're so tall and handsome.
So what brings you to this neighborhood?
Ms. Oh had to get something from home,
so I came with her.
You drove Bom here yourself?
You are so kind.
No wonder Bom talks about you all the time.
She keeps saying that you're such a gentleman.
Oh, we shouldn't just stand out here.
Since you're here anyway,
let's go have a cup of tea in the house.
Thank you, but I'll come back next time, mother.
Mother?
Yes, yes. Mother.
Right, I must be as old as your mother.
Mom.
Hey, Bom.
What did you forget to take with you,
that you made your manager come all this way?
I got some fresh air thanks to her.
Really?
Right, she may be clumsy and forgetful at times,
but she's good with her hands,
and she's diligent about her work. You know, right?
Sure, I know that.
Mom, stop. He feels uncomfortable.
Oh, okay.
I was being too rude.
I'll get going now.
Okay, bye.
We'll get going now.
Bye.
He has a great job,
and he seems like a good person.
He'd be the perfect man for Bom.
What are you two doing in here?
And she pretends to be so innocent?
You wanted to talk to me?
Do you have to ask?
I wouldn't know unless you tell me.
Behave well at work, Ms. Oh.
I haven't done anything to deserve to hear that.
Please explain why you're saying that.
You got Maru to pay off your debt,
and flirted with Taeho to be the publicity model.
The money issue has nothing to do with you,
and I never asked to become the publicity model.
You acted like that during the shoot,
and you say you didn't want it?
I just wanted to do my best,
since the task was given to me.
Just know your place and behave accordingly.
I don't know why you're treating me this way.
You told me before
that I'm just an intern who can be fired anytime.
I just want to make wine that tastes good.
I don't care about anything else,
so you don't have to worry.
Don't talk back to me.
It's obvious that you're uneducated.
What do you mean by that?
I heard that you were adopted.
Listen, Ms. Choi!
Who did you hear that from?
Why? You thought I wouldn't know?
So behave well.
Choi Aran.
Taeho.
Come with me.
Come with me right now!
Why do you treat Ms. Oh that way?
I just gave her advice about her place. So what?
You...
You're unbelievable.
Why are you so rude to everyone?
And whose fault is that?
I told you. It's over between us.
Don't act like this anymore.
What do you mean, it's over?
It's not over unless I end it.
I don't care about you now, no matter what you say!
Aran, you focus on your work,
and I'll focus on mine.
It may be hard now,
but it'll get better soon.
Then just focus on your work.
Because I'll keep my eye on you.
There was trouble during the photo shoot?
They dressed Oh Bom up with lots of makeup,
made her stand next to me,
and made us pose instead of doing our work.
We just wanted to show how you teach her.
I'm sorry for making you feel uncomfortable.
I know how the world works these days.
It's important to sell your image and make ads.
Since I have to run a company,
I must have gotten greedy.
I'm just worried about Oh Bom.
I thought I'd finally met someone who knows wine.
You must really care about her as your apprentice.
Yes.
Ms. Bae.
You need to leave wine alone to mature.
Bom needs to mature on her own right now.
The dough is so thick, it's hard to knead.
Why is it so thick?
I can't knead it enough!
This makes it so much easier.
I'll have to add water later anyway.
Whether I add it now or later, it'll be the same.
What are you doing, Bom?
You're here?
Did you add water to the rice and leaven?
It was too thick,
and my arms were about to fall off.
Don't you know that you shouldn't add water
when you're mixing rice with leaven?
What if germs grow on the dough?
I...
You thought making rice wine was an easy job?
A bottle of rice wine is what you get
after you follow a long and careful process.
I'm sorry.
If you're going to take shortcuts like this,
quit learning how to make rice wine,
and go find an easier job.
Auntie.
Auntie...
I'm sorry.
I was too hasty.
I wanted to do well and learn faster.
I got kind of greedy.
I didn't scold you because I hate you.
I wanted you to learn each step carefully.
Your dream is to make delicious rice wine.
You promised your dad you'd become a master.
I'm sure you will have moments of doubt and regret
along the way.
But don't look for shortcuts.
That's deceiving everyone you love and yourself.
I had many difficulties when I learned this, too.
I will tell you a secret.
I thought of my lost daughter
whenever things got tough, and endured it.
Auntie.
When it gets tough, think of your family.
It'll give you new energy.
Okay.
I won't ever disappoint you again.
I called them as well.
They will be here soon.
Thank you.
Sure.
You quit your job at the pub?
Good.
Come work on the marketing team at Punggildang.
I don't know if I should accept that favor.
Think of it as an opportunity, not a favor.
We planned to hire someone for that team anyway,
and that's why I'm hiring you.
I'll do my best.
Someone who we think is your family is coming.
I will text you the time and place.
Mr. An.
Yes.
This is Maru, who I told you about.
Say hello. This is Mr. An.
I'm Kang Maru.
I've heard a lot about you.
He'll work on the marketing team starting tomorrow,
so please prepare everything he needs.
Okay, I will.
If you have any questions or difficulties,
talk to Mr. An.
He knows more about the company than I do.
It's a pleasure to meet you.
Excuse me.
Hello?
This is the National Police Agency.
You're more than an hour late.
I...
The other person is already waiting here.
I'm not ready to meet her yet.
I will call you back later.
Mr. An?
Yes.
Take good care of my kid.
What do you mean, your kid?
Please take good care of Maru.
Oh, right...
Don't worry.
Are they here?
May I have their contact information, please?
Let's wait just a little longer.
I can't get caught now.
I need to take care of this.
Ms. Oh Bom.
Yes?
