(Episode 38)
Whose is this?
It looks like a diary.
Auntie.
Did you leave the rice paddle in the kitchen?
Yes.
Oh, that...
Is this your father's diary that you talked about?
Yes.
I'm sorry.
I was wondering whose it was.
I was looking for the name
to find out whose it was.
I didn't read it so don't worry.
It's all right.
So you've decided to understand him?
There's nothing to understand.
I am forever grateful to him.
If it weren't for him,
I wouldn't be here today.
I'm thinking about it a lot.
How to repay him for his love.
I'm so proud of you.
I have a long way to go.
I need to work even harder so that
I can make my family happy on behalf of my dad.
I've talked too much.
Let's go to the kitchen.
I'll teach you how to make porridge.
It's important to keep the inner temperature
same as the bottom temperature.
And you don't just stir with all your might.
Imagine that you are flipping it upside down.
Like this?
That's good.
Then the bottom part comes to the top
without splattering everywhere,
and you can boil it slowly.
I thought stirring it hard was the key.
If it weren't for you
I would've spent all day making this.
You make it seem like it's a big deal
when I teach you something so trivial.
It's sweet.
Everything you teach me is a huge know-how.
You taught me how to tell the maturity of wine.
Who else could impart such things?
How did the publicity photo shoot go?
Well... I made a mistake.
What happened?
Well, I...
Ms. Oh.
Let's talk about it later.
I have to go. Bye.
I need to get Taeho to like me again like this.
Ms. Oh, what are you doing here?
I need to grind this.
You really don't rest all day.
I'll do it.
I am good at working with my muscles.
You must be upset that Master Kim scolded you.
I'm all right.
Maru comforted me on the way home last night.
That's what's great about working with a friend.
A friend?
Yes, friends are good.
You must not have eaten breakfast yet.
I'll go buy something for you.
I'll go.
You seem to like sandwiches.
I know a great place near here.
That's a man's job.
Can you move that leaven here for me?
Yes, I'll complete the mission.
I'll be back.
Yes?
You're back already...
Taeho.
I told you not to
come to the pub for personal reasons.
I packed you a meal.
How can you be so harsh?
Eat later if you're not hungry now.
He's not here.
Did he go to his office?
I took too long, right?
I'm eating breakfast thanks to you.
Why don't we make a toast
for another great day at work?
Cheers.
You got something on your face.
No, not there.
Maru.
Mr. An and I were having breakfast.
I see.
You haven't eaten yet either, right?
Just wait.
I'll go buy you one, too.
It's okay.
You're here early, Mr. Kang.
Mr. An, you asked me a few days ago
about how I feel about Bom.
I like her.
Mr. Kang.
I want to protect her.
Liking someone takes responsibility.
Isn't it immature to just follow your feelings
without taking responsibility?
What about Ms. Choi?
Aren't you two engaged?
That personal.
I don't need to explain details about my life,
but I'll act honorably about my feelings for her.
You're so brazen.
Maru, here's your sandwich.
What is it?
I need to talk to you.
Let's eat with Mr. An.
Come with me.
What's going on?
What do you think of Mr. An?
What do you mean what do I think of him?
Do you have feelings for him?
He's a kind and generous person,
so I trust him and follow his lead.
Is that all?
Is there something more?
What about me?
I told you before that I like you.
Tell me. What am I to you?
You're a good friend to me.
I like you as more than a friend.
I want you to like me, too.
Maru, I am always grateful to you, but
this isn't the best time for me to do this.
Where is it?
Ms. Oh, have you seen the distill team ledger?
Ms. Oh Bom!
Yes?
Have you seen the distill team ledger?
It's in the kitchen. I'll go get it for you.
Okay. Make it snappy.
Is something wrong?
Maru, you're here.
Hello.
You need to grind leaven?
I'll help you.
No, it's my job.
Your job is my job from now on.
Maru, if you keep doing this...
So what?
I can't help my girlfriend out?
I'm sure her birth parents are out there.
I need to find her real parents.
I saw the flyer.
The girl in the flyer looks a lot like Bom.
There was a flyer looking for me?
Were you waiting for me?
Bom, wait up.
What's wrong?
It's not my business anymore.
What's wrong?
Is it because of what I said earlier?
I'm not forcing an answer from you...
It's not because of that!
I'm sorry, Bom.
What are you apologizing about?
Go and stop bothering me.
What's wrong, Bom?
I'm sorry for taking my frustrations out on you.
I said you can do whatever you want
You can yell at me if you want.
You can say whatever you want.
I won't ask why you're upset.
Just think of me as a punching bag,
and hit me until you feel better.
Whatever.
Maru.
You said your dad isn't your birth father, right?
This is my dad's diary.
I only found out a few days ago.
My dad isn't my birth father either.
He found me on the streets.
What are you talking about?
I know.
I don't remember anything,
but that's what he wrote in the diary.
He found me crying on the street.
My body was covered with wounds,
and I was too shocked to speak.
He thought I was abandoned after being abused,
so he didn't look for my birth parents.
My mom raised me for 20 years thinking that
my dad had me from an affair.
My dad wrote all this in his diary,
and passed away so I can't ask him anything.
Maru, you're home late.
You're still up?
Why do you look so upset?
Did something happen?
No.
You used to tell me everything,
and now you have so many secrets.
Tell me.
It's about a friend.
She just found out recently that she was
a missing girl, and her parents adopted her.
I see.
She's hesitant to find her birth parents.
Because of the parents who raised her, I'm sure.
But imagine how her birth parents feel.
Who is this friend you're talking about?
Do I know her?
She can register her DNA...
Ms. Bae registered her DNA and
is waiting for her missing daughter.
I hope you find your daughter soon.
(Kang Maru)
You scared me!
What are you doing here so early?
I want to go to work together.
You should just move to this neighborhood.
Should I live in your mom's pub storage room?
If she rents the room out to me,
she earns extra money.
And I get to see you every day.
Stop joking around.
Why were you waiting for me here?
Bom, I know it isn't my business,
but let's go register your DNA.
Your father tried to look for your birth parents.
I looked into it, and
many people found their parents that way.
Bom.
Move.
I looked it up all night.
You may not find them right away,
but it happens, even if years later.
Let's say I find them. Then what?
What about my mom?
Should I abandon my sister and my family
and go live with my birth parents?
They might've been looking for you for 20 years.
Think about how they must feel.
You can worry about that
after you find your birth parents.
I shouldn't have told you about this.
Bom.
Oh Bom!
(Missing child)
(Finding Missing Children Center)
If they are still looking for me,
they would've registered their DNA.
But what if I really find them? What happens then?
Hey, Maru.
Where are you?
I'm scared.
Where are you?
I came to register my DNA,
but I think I made a mistake.
I don't know why I'm here.
Stay right there.
I'm on my way.
Bom.
Let's go inside.
I can't.
You came all the way here.
You do want to find your birth parents.
What if they're not looking for me?
What if I register my DNA,
but I get no calls?
What if I was really abandoned?
What if they've been waiting for you?
What if they've been heartbroken for
20 years and spent sleepless nights?
What if they couldn't find you
because you haven't done anything?
That's why I don't know what to do.
Bom.
At least do everything you can do.
How can I help you?
I'm here to register my DNA.
I was found wandering around 20 years ago,
and I want to find my birth parents.
May I have your ID first please?
Please read the consent form
and fill it out.
All right.
We'll call you as soon as we have the result.
Okay.
Thank you.
Bom.
Look at me.
Why must I do something like this?
Bom.
I felt like a criminal.
Did my parents abandon me because I did something?
Did I lose them because I was such a fool?
It all felt like it was my fault.
You know it's not your fault, Bom.
I was able to come this far because
I thought of my mom, dad and sister
when things got tough.
But now I feel like I'm all alone in the world
and there is no one by my side.
I will be by your side.
You see my name and number there?
I will be there whenever you ask me to come.
I will go find you even if you get lost.
Why didn't you say anything about the dinner plan?
What do you mean?
You didn't know?
There's a plan to have dinner to meet Aran's dad,
and talk about your engagement party.
Hey.
I'm talking to you. Where are you going?
You should've told me you were coming.
Cancel the family dinner.
What are you talking about?
Is something wrong at home?
I can't get engaged to you.
What are you talking about?
Aran, let's break up.
Are you breaking up with me?
Tell your parents.
I will talk to mine.
No.
I'm going ahead with the dinner.
We're going ahead with the engagement, too.
I have no intentions of breaking up with you.
Your tantrums won't help one bit.
You're the only man I've ever loved.
You're closer to me than my parents are.
You will meet someone better.
Stop.
I won't break up with you.
Bye.
Taeho!
I'll keep the engagement rings a little longer.
What?
Don't be overwhelmed by the engagement,
and take your time doing what you want to do.
Midal.
Midal...
Water...
I feel like I'm dying.
My heart...
My heart is burning.
Get me some water.
Does Bom ever talk about her manager?
All she talks about are interest, rice wine,
and sometimes concerns about Maru.
That manager is handsome,
seems to be kind, and
he has a good, stable job.
He's perfect as Bom's husband.
Maybe I should push for Bom to marry him.
You can't decide that on your own.
Bom is the one who gets married, not you.
You can get more allowance if
Bom marries a rich guy.
Let's join hands together and
make plans to get Bom to marry him.
Mom, why don't you get married again instead?
Dad hasn't passed away too long ago
so not immediately.
What about next spring?
Isn't there someone among your customers?
I would prefer someone who I can talk to
and is handsome.
I can't believe you'd say such nonsense.
Stop moving your head.
Midal, water...
Forget it.
You go get it yourself.
Ga-eul, my heart is burning.
Faking an illness loses effect after a while.
Stop it now.
You guys are too cruel.
'Love is gone'
'From my heart'
One bottle of soju please.
All right.
Don't worry, Jeongmi.
Just have faith in me and wait.
Everything is going well.
Hey. People will stare.
Let everyone stare.
I'll make you happy.
I'm sorry that a loser like me loves you.
Hey!
Love is not a crime either.
I'm so pretty, you couldn't help but fall in love.
Jeongmi is gone and love is gone.
They are all gone.
Gone... All gone...
He said he loved me so much...
Yeah, forget him. Forget him!
Baedal!
Jeongmi?
Jeongmi!
Jeongmi. Jeongmi!
Jeongmi!
Baedal.
Jeongmi!
Baedal!
Jeongmi.
Baedal.
Did you call out my name?
I called out your name, because
I missed you so much!
I yelled out your name because I missed you, too!
I can't live without you now.
Let's be together now.
Jeongmi. Jeongmi!
Taeho, don't be late, okay?
Are you ready?
Yes.
You don't look too well.
Did you not sleep well?
I'm sure you're nervous
having dinner together with your in-laws.
I guess so.
Aran, try these heels on.
They say nice shoes take you to nice places.
I hope only good things happen to you.
Thank you.
You've lived a tough life because of me.
If Taeho was good enough to win your love,
I'm sure he's a great guy.
Your dad bought you heels for the dinner.
You're so lucky.
We should've met sooner.
It's all my fault.
Everyone knows how busy you are with Punggildang.
I'm glad we are able to meet today.
It's been a long time.
I'm Aran's father.
I'd like to officially introduce myself.
I'm Taeho's father.
I've heard so much about you.
How great is it that you're back in that house?
Aran is happier, and
Ms. Bae isn't so lonely anymore.
- Honey, please. / - What?
I'm just welcoming him.
You embarrass me.
Taeho is late.
He said he'll be late because he's busy.
I guess he's doing all the work at Punggildang.
Shall we get started first?
Did you start working here when we opened?
Yes.
You've worked hard when we were very busy.
Thank you for working so hard.
What?
You don't have to come to work tomorrow.
There's still a week left this month,
but I put in a whole month worth.
I'll help you.
Thank you.
How's your mother doing?
I should go have a bowl of soup at her pub.
She asked you to come and eat?
Oh, gee.
She says that to people she likes.
Does that mean your mom likes me?
My mom's a very generous person.
- Ms. Oh. / - Yes?
It's nothing. I'll tell you later.
I'm sorry. Taeho is running very late.
The man of the hour always shows up last.
Right, Mr. Choi?
Yes, that's right.
Will you call Taeho?
Sure.
The phone has been turned off.
The call will be charged after the beep.
Please hang up if you do not wish to be charged.
Taeho must be busy inspecting the bar today.
He told me he would go ahead with
the engagement even if he doesn't make it here.
Hey.
Taeho.
You're late.
We've all been waiting for you.
I'm sorry for being late.
Aran told us you were very busy.
Have a seat. Have you eaten?
I have something to tell you. Actually...
Taeho.
I'm sorry.
It's okay. Go ahead and answer it.
I'm sorry. Excuse me.
Hello?
This is the Finding Missing Children Center.
We called about the DNA test result.
Where are you calling from?
Are you Ms. Bae Gukhui?
You found someone who matches my DNA?
Let's go back to being friends.
I'd rather be enemies with you
than be your friend.
Aran.
I, Lee Baedal...
I, Choi Jeongmi...
Vow to become her husband.
Vow to become his wife.
I love you.
I love you, too.
Wow!
They found Paran?
Where has she been hiding?
Why did she have to show up now
after all these years?
I'm worried about what will happen afterwards.
I feel guilty to my mom who raised me.
Do you love me, mom?
Yes, I love you.
I love you, too.
