They're missing a child from Sunflower Class.
- Your class, right? - Dohun, where are you?
Yerin!
Stop joking. Where are you?
You will regret ever joining Hana Kindergarten.
Hello, this is Hana Kindergarten.
What?
You're lucky. Not many spots appear during a semester.
But it's $2,000 a month?
If you want the best environment for your child...
Is that place necessary?
The kids are from nice homes. It's a chance.
She doesn't seem wealthy.
She says her house is 1,000 square metres,
but lives at Haengbok apartment. She's a liar.
You were an escort. You can't hide your roots.
Please.
You be careful, too. It wasn't a coincidence you joined here.
Call's coming.
Hajin, isn't it your bag?
It used to be my mother's.
Did I take long?
Why are you doing this to me? What have I done wrong?
I don't intend to force Dohun to study.
Turning life over with good grades is an old saying.
My mum told me not to play with her, too.
She said she's a spy.
We have one left. Who's missing?
I don't know.
Oh my God. That's how Yerin joined here?
Close the door.
Are you okay?
I'm fine.
I was worried how you were doing.
What about Dohun?
I should go now.
Staying here won't bring him back.
You're not well yet.
Oh my God. What should I do?
Hey, what's wrong?
What will I do? My son, Dohun...
Don't even think about finding Dohun!
Someone took him and sent me that.
Calm down.
It could be a prank.
But who?
Can't you think of anyone?
The Perfect Day of the Ladies
Last Episode Lee Mibok's story
Tears of the Winterland Queen
- You are Park Gayeon? - Yes.
Nice to meet you. Have a seat.
Here's my resume.
You graduated at Inse University majoring in early childhood education.
You also studied in Australia?
Yes.
You have group tutoring experience and kindergarten training.
Humour-for-children certificate and math instructor certificate.
Instructor certificates in essay writing and self-leading study.
You are quite qualified.
Thank you.
You can start next week, and is $5,000 a month, okay?
Oh... yes.
Come next week and meet my kid.
I'm not a picky person.
I don't push my son to study.
Tag along with him to his academies and work-outs.
- Be there for him as I would. - Okay.
We can talk next time at home.
Thank you.
- So what happened? - Did she wake up?
Yes, after 3 days, though.
I thought she was going to die.
Don't even say that.
- Hello. - Hi.
What are you talking about?
Have you heard about Yeongji?
She woke up, but she can't talk.
It seems to be aphasia from shock of the accident.
Why is all this happening at the kindergarten?
I mean we had the academy incident before as well.
Why is this happening when I'm on the edge already?
What if the mother drags us in?
Let's stop talking about that.
A new kid joined us, and it's no good to dwell on it.
If things go wrong, the kindergarten and all of us go down at once.
All of you watch what you say.
We will take action right away.
She'll cut a deal if she finds out there's nothing to gain from stalling.
I am truly sorry to put you through this.
It's okay. We trust you.
Tell me if you need anything.
Sure.
And about what I said earlier...
Oh, right.
Here you go.
This is Mr. Jeong, and he's quite famous in this field.
It's a secret, but our alumni attended there, too.
Really?
I put in a good word for you,
so there won't be a problem with Dohun's case.
Okay. Thank you.
Dohun, do you want to try a place instead of Hana Kindergarten?
No, I like it here.
Why?
Kids listen to me well, and I'm comfortable here.
You little man.
But you complained about too much homework and studying.
I did, but now I have a teacher who can do it for me.
No problem.
Oh my.
Don't overload yourself.
Wherever you attend, I will do everything you want.
Okay, my son?
Okay.
I'm home.
- Mother. - Grandma.
Oh, how are you?
What brings you here? Dohun, go to your room.
It's the end of the year, so I stopped by the department store.
What's all this?
You see, this is the top quality.
Not just anyone could get these.
There are beef, dried yellow corbina, and fruits.
You didn't have to.
I got everything for your in-laws,
so tell the driver to take them.
Did you get a new table?
- Yes. - Who would think it's made in Italy?
What a bad taste. Your husband chose this, didn't he?
Take it back.
I'll tell you about a shop in Cheongdam-dong.
Look at this.
Hello, mother-in-law.
- You're home. - Yes.
- You're coming from the gym? - Yes.
What brings you here?
Do I need a reason to come to my daughter's house?
Why? You don't want me here?
Of course not. I'm glad you are here.
Why do you always wear something like that?
Shall I get you a suit? Go and get changed.
It's expensive, too. Carry on talking.
Look at him, the sleaze.
I'm sure he was hanging around a sauna.
I shouldn't have let you marry into a family with only money.
Mum, stop.
A dress for $2,300, a bag for $6,400, and shoes for $1,200?
Why did your mother come again?
When did she ever have a reason for coming?
Don't you have something to tell me?
About what?
This month's bill.
A $6,000 bag, a $3,000 dress and $1,000 shoes.
You gave these to that girl
who called you late at night crying, right?
Come on.
Why look at other's bills?
You thought I wouldn't find out if you spent with the company's card?
Hey, you said you'd put it all behind.
She's only a bar girl. There's no reason you should mind.
Just a bar girl?
What a consistent taste in woman. You're reliable that way!
You're acting just like your mother.
Why bring up my mother in this?
Okay, okay. It's giving me a headache.
It's all my fault, okay?
I will get you anything you want for Christmas.
Forget it. I'm low on funds because of the trip to Japan.
Transfer $50,000.
It's for extending hotel membership, and your mother's allowance.
What?
Oh my God.
You have nothing to talk about
except for money, Dohun, and the money spent on him?
No, I have your lady friend to talk about.
Dohun, what's wrong?
You can't sleep? Want me to read you a book?
Guide for studying in England
Dohun, what's the matter? Is something bothering you?
I hate mum and dad.
Why do you say that?
They are going to get divorced.
Who told you that?
Mum and dad fight all the time.
Dad meets other women, and mum always yells.
You know, you fight with your friends, right?
It's the same for mum and dad.
Why would they get divorced when they have a lovely son like you?
They don't love me.
Of course, they love you. You're adorable to me.
Lie down. I will read you a book.
Okay.
Let's see.
Hello, ma'am.
He couldn't sleep, so...
It's late, Ms. Park. Go on now.
Mummy, you go.
What?
You go out. Why make the teacher go?
You're 7 now, so don't act like a baby.
- Ma'am, he's still young. - Whatever.
Get going now. I'll be the one that puts him to bed.
Goodbye.
You only study with the teacher.
Why ask her to tuck you in?
I'll be here, so go to sleep.
Oh my.
Hey.
Kim Yeongji
Junyeong from next class is going to attend international school.
Some of our kids will go as well, right?
If you're not going to send them to a university here,
it's a good choice. Great school, isn't it?
It's better to study there without trouble than to struggle here.
Kids will be from similar class, and they won't get stressed.
I want to send Dohun if I can.
You don't want to?
I heard the tuition is really high.
I want to send Rina there, but you need to be a foreigner to join.
But I didn't know Dohun was an American citizen.
Huh?
You know how it is.
Right, Dohun has a tutor?
- Yes. - How is she?
She is to look after this and that, not just tutor.
She graduated from Inse University, and she's diligent and pleasing.
I'm comfortable because she takes care of everything.
That's nice.
- But be careful. - For what?
I heard they listen to them over their mothers.
You must be joking. They can't be the same as a mother.
Right, I left my jacket at your place, right?
Oh, right. I'll bring it to you later.
Okay, next time. See you.
Dohun, don't throw the toys, okay?
What's all this?
Dohun, I told you to do your homework.
Put this back together.
I have to go out. Don't bother me and do your homework.
Do this.
Just buy another one.
Please get him a new one.
$200 will do?
He needs to finish English homework and has Lego class later.
Take him to the academy and get him dinner.
Also, read him some books. I will be late.
- Okay. - See you later, then.
See you, Dohun.
Dohun, the toys must hurt, right?
How can they hurt? They're not even human.
Get it for me quickly. Mum gave you money.
Hang on.
- Ta-da. It's done. - Wow.
Dohun, you should value what you have, okay?
Buying new ones isn't always the best solution.
Okay, teacher.
Do you want to see my treasure?
Treasure?
It's a magic dragon ball.
A dragon grants its owner a wish.
Really?
I didn't wish for anythtng yet.
Since you fixed my toys, I'll lend it to you.
Thank you.
If you take legal action, it will only waste time and energy.
There won't be anything to gain, but only loss.
Let's settle this matter quietly.
Yerin
So the admissions paperwork is done?
Yes.
We have the portfolio and study plans,
so I will see you next week.
The result will be good if nothing goes wrong.
Okay. And...
This isn't much, but just to say thank you.
Thank you.
- Help me till the end. - Of course.
Dohun, you little...
Dohun.
Are you okay?
Yes, I'm fine.
Thanks for your effort. I bet he causes you trouble.
No, not at all.
Go back to work.
Let's go.
Come on.
Dohun, it's mummy.
Did you have dinner?
What?
Where are you?
Honey.
You all seem happy without me.
Hello.
Mummy.
You're here.
Ms. Park had some extra time, so I offered her dinner.
Have a seat.
Is that so?
She's Dohun's teacher. Don't think of fooling around.
What are you talking about?
I'm not like that.
I'm so tired.
Welcome home.
What were you doing coming home so late?
Mummy, I'm hungry.
Maid, give Hajin dinner and pay more attention to the kids.
Yes, sir. Hajin, let's have dinner.
It's a delicious dinner.
You always hang out, when I'm not around, right?
What do you mean? I was at a kid's academy.
Then, why are you always late?
Be quiet. Don't mind what men do.
If you keep this up, there will be no more money for you.
Children, come and sit down now.
Okay.
We will draw our family today. My loving family.
Let's draw what you want to do with your family.
Okay.
Start drawing.
Oh, it's Yeongji.
Hey, Yeongji.
Are you okay? Why aren't you coming back?
What's wrong with Yeongji?
Hey, Hajin.
Yeongji is a little sick.
Because of that accident? She's not well yet?
I'm here because I'm sick, too.
Hajin.
Come here.
Y-Yeongji's mother.
Well...
- Here's your jacket. - Thank you.
- Let's have tea. - Shall we?
- Come here. - What are you doing out here?
Oh, honey. This is Rina's mother.
Hello.
- Oh, hello. - You must be Dohun's father.
Let's have coffee later. Bye.
- Take care. - Okay.
Was she at Club Jewelry in Cheongdam-dong?
Cheongdam-dong?
It's nothing.
Husband, do you know her?
You're driving me crazy.
Gosh, give me a break.
I told you I could have misidentified her.
You misidentify a girl?
Tell me when and where you met her?
Oh my God.
You slept with her? Tell me.
What are you talking about?
Hey, that's nonsense.
I slept with no one.
I haven't been there for so long, and can't even remember.
What did you say?
You want me to meet a girl like her as a mother of Dohun's classmate?
What if you do? What's wrong with that?
For heaven's sake.
I've endured all your dirty past for the past seven years.
But I should meet someone like her at my kid's kindergarten?
Why should I undergo such humiliation?
You're not ashamed before your son?
My God, you're loud.
Stop it.
Come here.
Why should I live here like this?
If it weren't for you... If it weren't for Dohun...
If it weren't for me or Dohun, then what?
You think you'd be happy?
Don't get it wrong.
And us?
Your family pursued the marriage.
And your mother's business?
It wouldn't have worked without my family's money.
Be quiet and get out.
I said get out. Get out.
For Pete's sake.
Dohun, want a piggy back?
Okay. Here.
- Teacher. - Yes?
I wish you were my mother.
Don't say that.
You have your mother.
She'd be sad to hear that.
No, she will be happy without me.
Hey, that's not true.
Really?
Of course. Your mother loves you a lot.
Or why would she ask me to come?
Three phones? Is he crazy or what?
All bars, bars, and bars.
What a rotten egg.
Hi, it's me.
It's been a while since the last time I got a massage.
You said that the director of Lasena in Cheongdam-dong...
You said she know Rina's mother.
Yes.
Could you find something out for me?
It seems Rina takes after her mother.
You graduated from Ewha University, majoring in dancing?
Well, yes.
Majored in dancing at Ewha University?
That's great.
Let's order. What wouid you like?
I'm not feeling well. I'll just have coffee.
- I'll order something nice. - What should I have?
More than 40 upper class parents including mid-level executives
were prosecuted in charges of illicitly admitting their children
into international schools.
They forged paperwork
and falsified divorces out of wrongful love for their children.
The police presume there won't be any further investigation.
So don't worry.
Of course not.
I'm sure nothing will happen to us.
They won't pursue it further.
But things can go south unexpectedly,
so don't contact Mr. Jeong for the time being.
Okay.
How come the kid is wearing a crown?
The shoes also look strange.
- Hello. - Yes, hi.
Let's go.
Mum, Dad
Me, Teacher
It's me. Did you look into it?
What?
No match in the dancing department?
Okay, I see.
Yes, thank you.
What a cheeky woman.
Is that true?
Yes, it is. This is nonsense.
Of course, it's nonsense.
I would rather switch kindergartens.
I can't associate with a woman like that.
- I can't accept this. - What's going on?
The mothers here have class and social status, right?
Of course.
Okay, then. As we have drawn a conclusion,
I'll settle it with the principal.
Yes, you do that. I can't believe this is happening.
This can't be true.
A written request for Ha Rina in Sunflower Class to move out
Have we ever submitted a claim like this before?
But, ma'am. This is a bit...
It's your decision to make.
But if it's not accepted, all 15 kids will switch kindergartens.
This institution would quickly lose its reputation.
You know mothers are sensitive concerning such matters. Right?
The principal is in a meeting.
I'll wait. I can't let this go.
Either Yerin or my daughter has to go.
Oh my. Look who's here.
Hey.
Looks like you're here on business. Go in.
Dohun. Dohun.
Dohun, I'll carry you. Sleep in your room.
Where's mummy?
She's not home yet.
Let's go and sleep.
I want to go to mummy's room.
Hey, come on.
No, I said no.
Then, let's stay here for a while, and I'll take you to your room. Okay?
Dohun's mother.
Did you sleep with my husband as well?
What?
What are you saying?
Are you insane?
You were an escort in Cheongdam-dong.
What?
And graduated from Ewha majoring in dance?
Your name isn't on the alumni list.
You didn't know I graduated from that school, did you?
How dare you deceive me?
Yes, I lied.
So what?
You're really shameless.
I took all the trouble to send my kid there,
and I have to see it all messed up because of you?
It seems all the kids know already.
It's just a matter of time before Rina hears it.
No. Please no.
How would she feel if she finds out who her mother really is?
Please don't.
Don't do that, please.
Dohun.
Dohun...
Ms. Park...
Ms. Park.
What do you think you're doing?
I'm sorry. I fell asleep.
Mummy?
My God, I don't know what to say.
Even so, this is out of line.
Hurry and take him out.
Don't do that to her. I asked her to tuck me in.
Be quiet and come down here.
Don't do that.
Dohun, go to your room.
Get out of my house right now.
I put you with my son because you are smart,
but how dare you get on my bed?
I asked you to take care of him, not to take over the bed.
You don't know your place?
Do you flirt with my husband when I'm not around?
You've gone too far.
How far have I gone?
You're just a helper.
How dare you look me in the eyes and talk back?
You think this is possible?
Don't ever think about coming back to this neighbourhood.
Get out right now.
MDT Overseas Education Consultants Jeong Daeho
Anyways, who's the rich daughter-in-law that got caught?
I heard that she spent thousands of dollars.
One of the parents should be a foreigner,
so she fraudulently divorced and married a foreigner.
Do you have to do that to send your kid there?
That's what I mean.
I heard Dohun's application was accepted.
Did you hear anything?
No, I haven't heard anything.
It's awful that
I could have been publicly associated with someone like that.
Well, I envy you.
Hana Kindergarten, then an international school.
Then, a boarding school in the States?
He's taking the elite course.
You can say that.
Teacher.
Mummy, where is the teacher?
She's not coming back.
Why isn't the teacher coming back?
You're going to a better school, so you don't need a teacher.
Why? I won't go there.
Why did you send her away? Bring her back.
Please stop it.
Ask her to come back.
Lee Dohun, stop it right now.
You go out. I want to live with the teacher.
You!
Ask her to come back.
How dare you...
You like her more than you like me?
Make my teacher come back.
How could you do this to me?
What am I to you?
You know what I'm doing for you?
You know what I'm going through? You brat.
Come here.
Mummy.
Mummy, I'm sorry.
- Come here. Just get out. - Mummy!
I'm sorry.
Mummy. Mummy...
Mummy, I'm sorry.
Don't make me leave.
I won't do that again. Forgive me, mum.
I won't do that again, mum.
Teacher, answer the phone.
Take me with you.
Come and see me. Why did you go?
I don't want to go to another school.
What are you doing?
I'm going to Hawaii with Dohun.
What do you mean, so suddenly?
He's going to attend international school in the autumn.
We're leaving so he can learn English.
You are just informing me after making all the decisions?
You can just send him to study abroad later.
Why make all the fuss now?
We can stay there and move to another country for studying.
So you can live the life you want just as you wish.
You mean we should live apart?
Let's end this.
As you said, we have nothing to talk about except money,
and we have nothing in common.
I'm really tired of cleaning up all these messes.
Why do I have to live like this?
I'm exhausted.
Fine.
You can say that for yourself,
but would it be the same for your mother?
What about my parents?
My family gave you the building and the sports centre.
And the loan to your mother. What do you expect them to be?
Can you return all that?
You're pathetic.
- Let this go. - Hey, Mibok.
This is business.
You think I like living like this?
You know all my family has is money.
But why act like this all of a sudden?
Hawaii? You're really ridiculous.
You think I won't go?
Just wait and see if I go or not.
Okay, I'll be there right after the school play.
so tell me when Mr. Jeong's side is settled.
Okay.
Dohun
Teacher, answer the phone.
Take me with you.
Come and see me. Why did you go?
I don't want to go to another school.
Hello?
Is this the police station?
I have something to report.
What's going on?
What should we do?
I can't reach Mr. Jeong. I think...
I think he got caught.
The police called earlier to say they'll come tomorrow
asking for cooperation.
But what do you expect me to do, calling me right now?
You can't do anything if you get scared like that.
They can't do anything without a warrant,
so deny cooperation.
Buy some time, then, get rid of the documents.
What if something goes wrong...
If something goes wrong, you and I are going down.
We have to prevent that.
I have connections there, so I'll figure something out.
- Okay? - Okay.
Get going.
Hey.
You left during the play for this?
This is what you meant by "doing anything"?
Do you really...
Do you have to go this far?
I will do it.
I'll do everything I can do.
I'll send Dohun to Hawaii
and get away from this miserable life and from you.
How could you...
Mibok, aren't you afraid of anything?
There's nothing I can't do for Dohun.
He's all I have now.
- Where did he go? - Where is he?
I'm sorry. The play finished?
Where were you? I kept calling you.
- What for? - You weren't with Dohun?
No, what's going on? Did something happen?
What will I do? What to do?
Dohun is missing.
He disappeared after the play while we were cleaning up.
What? What do you mean?
He was on stage a while ago. Where could he go?
Did you check the bathroom?
Ma'am, please calm down, and let's...
What if he went back on stage?
He's not there? Did you look thoroughly?
Dohun. Dohun!
Dohun.
Teacher, have you seen Dohun?
We're looking for him now.
Dohun.
Dohun. Dohun!
I must look like a fool.
I'm the one who excluded you and made Rina's mother leave.
I did that.
Why?
For what?
You have everything. You don't lack anything.
So why?
I have everything?
What's everything to you?
We're all occupied with the kids
going around from home to kindergarten.
It's the same for every day.
We can't tell one day apart from another.
But still, we're anxious comparing ourselves to others.
We pretend to be cool and fine.
We never tell each other the truth.
Dohun's mother.
Did joining here make you happy?
Wasn't there a day you couldn't take it anymore?
Yes, I feel the same.
But what Yerin needs is who I am now.
You did all that for Dohun as well.
My baby...
Yes.
I just wanted to raise him to be at the top.
I wanted to give him everything.
But look at me.
Now, I am...
Calm down.
I'll bring some water. Alright?
Dohun...
I'm sorry, Yerin. Dohun's mother is...
Mummy, this lady here...
Come here, Yerin.
Mummy, what's wrong?
Didn't you hear me? I said, come here.
I believe we've met.
What are you doing here?
This is...
Oh Yerin
I thought I should return it. I took the wrong one.
They did that to my kid
just to end up like this?
Is that it?
For what?
Hajin's mother told me everything,
and I wanted to confront the mothers.
I wanted to ask why they had to do it to my daughter.
That's why I came.
But...
In the end...
They all got what they deserved.
Dohun...
You didn't take him?
I have nothing to do with that.
She's the one who brought this on herself.
It'd be better for you if you don't stay here longer.
We are from the police.
Are you the mother of the missing child?
No, I'm not.
I'll take you to her. Come with me.
I'll ask one more time.
You really don't know Dohun's whereabouts?
No, I don't.
- He's about 140cm tall. - What about his outfit?
He's wearing the prince outfit from the play.
I don't think he went far.
He must be around here.
Mummy, why are the police here?
Who are they arresting?
Are you scared?
You don't have to be scared.
Police only arrest the bad guys.
It will be over soon.
Bad guys?
Mummy.
Yes?
You know...
Yerin, what's wrong?
I'm not a bad guy. Don't let them arrest me.
What do you mean?
Dohun made me promise not to tell anyone.
Do you have to go this far?
I will do it.
I'll do everything I can do.
I'll send Dohun to Hawaii
and get away from this miserable life and from you.
Mibok, aren't you afraid of anything?
Afraid? There's nothing I'm afraid of.
I'll do everything I can do.
I'll send Dohun to Hawaii
and get away from this miserable life and from you.
I hate you, mum.
I hate you.
Stop joking around. Where are you?
Shh.
Be quiet and follow me.
Where are you going?
I'm going to run away.
Why? Where would you go?
Your mother will be worried.
No, she'll be happy if I'm gone.
No mother is like that.
There is.
She sent my teacher away and will send me away, too.
I hate all that.
I'll hide here and run away when it quiets down.
If you tell anyone that I'm here,
I won't be nice, okay?
O-okay.
Promise me.
Close the door behind you
and keep your promise.
You got that?
Don't even think about finding Dohun!
So where is he?
Dohun.
- Dohun. - Dohun.
Dohun, it's mummy. Open the door.
Hey.
Anybody have the key?
The key. Hurry up and bring the key.
Oh, Lord.
Open it up quickly.
For Pete's sake.
Come on.
Give it.
Step aside.
Dohun.
- Dohun. - Dohun.
He's not there?
Dohun! Where is he?
Dohun.
- Dohun. - He's there?
Turn on the light.
Oh my God. Are you okay?
What are you doing here?
My God.
Are you okay?
Thank God. Is he hurt?
- No, he seems okay. - He's fine.
I'll spank you if you do that one more time.
A long day went by like that.
The incident after the school play at Hana Kindergarten
turned out to be a happening.
But a lot of changes were made to the kids at Sunflower Class.
Cluck, cluck. Chick is singing.
Moo, moo. Cow is singing.
Bang, bang. Hunter is shooting.
Totter, totter. Wild duck is walking.
People ask me.
If the life there was special and happy.
Everyone wanted to join there
and dreamed to be the best.
But not one of us could remain there.
Choi Insil.
Jeong Daeho.
Which citizenship did you obtain?
Pardon?
You didn't go to jail?
Forget it.
Fine. Back at you.
But the mothers of the class
were just the same mothers
who wanted to raise their kids better.
One, two, three.
We were enemies and friends who bore every suffocating day.
If I met them not as Yerin's mother, but as Jeong Sua,
maybe, things could have been different.
Hello, Yeongji.
I have something for you.
Oh, it's my notebook.
Say thank you.
Thank you.
- You're leaving? - Yes.
Bye.
- Hello. - Hello.
Yerin, you're back.
Yerin, you can do it, right?
Of course. Don't worry, mum.
Good luck.
Yerin, it's been a long time. How are you?
Teacher.
How have you been?
Good, thank you.
I'm glad we had a spot.
I know.
Then, I'll see you in the afternoon.
Yerin, see you.
- Bye, mum. - See you.
Children. Yerin's back.
Hello, Yerin.
It's good to see you. Let's go inside.
