She's going to come twice a week
when grandpa and dad aren't home.
Thank you.
You're very pretty.
No, you're more lovely.
People used to call me the Elizabeth Taylor of announcers.
Will you go bring my old photo album from my room?
I want to show Seyong.
Not again.
Hurry!
You have very big features and tanned skin.
It looks like you're a lot like me.
What?
Don't you think so?
I don't know.
I was adopted then brought back to the orphanage so
I can tell when people are lying.
I know what you're about to say
and I'm ready to hear it.
Tell me the truth.
Someone came to see me, right?
Yes.
Who?
Your real mother.
Is she Jang Mihwa?
You knew?
Are you okay?
Can we go somewhere quiet?
Yerin.
Are you okay?
No, don't try to make me feel better.
Did you ever wonder who your mother was?
Of course.
I did.
I thought that my mom was pretty and kind but very poor.
I thought that maybe she fell in love with a rich man.
And she got pregnant with me.
She died during childbirth
and the rich people gave me up.
They didn't want to trouble my dad.
That was the mom and dad of my imagination.
But now I find out my mother is Jang Mihwa?
Why? Why! Why!
Do you know what scares me and frightens me the most?
What?
What if my mom doesn't
want me any more because I'm that woman's daughter?
What if she asks me to go with her?
I don't want that!
Are you two seeing each other?
No.
You brought her home?
You've never brought anyone home before other than Yerin.
You told me to hire a reporter as mom's tutor.
That was your idea.
That's why you brought her here?
Yeah.
In our study club,
I learned that home shopping hosts have to be very expressive.
I'm very expressive.
I don't want to toot my own horn
but I don't think Ha Jeongu's that great with food on TV.
Want to see how I eat?
Well, it's important to eat your food well
but you also have to describe it well.
You shouldn't just say that the food's good or not.
You have to describe how good it is,
how the taste is in your mouth, how the flavors are.
Oh, I didn't think of that.
Isn't it time for grandpa and dad to come?
Oh, I think so.
You have to leave before you're caught.
I'll give you some homework to do for my next visit.
Come up with ten alternative expressions to describe good food.
Okay.
Aren't you going to take her home?
I can take the subway.
No, I didn't bring up my son to be that rude.
Will you be a gentleman and drive her home.
Okay.
Let's go, Seyeong.
Okay.
Goodbye.
- Bye - Bye.
I really like her.
I think they're dating don't you?
No.
No? 86c
Yeah, he said no. 86c
If he's not interested,
Why would he choose her, out of all the other reporters?
I have to start eating right and learning how
to describe how the food tastes.
Your mother's very sweet.
I told you she's all over the place
She must like you, too.
Now, finally I can rest without my mom breathing down my neck.
Would you mind not telling my family that you were adopted?
Why not?
Because my family's a head family
so the adults are very sensitive when it comes to roots and background.
Are you saying that I don't have any roots or background?
No, it s not that.
It's just that I live with the head family so...
Are you supposed to be proud of something like that in this day and age?
Seyeong.
Get in.
No, I'm fine on my own.
My mom will yell at me if you leave like this.
Get in.
I said get in.
Bye.
Drive safely.
Yerin.
Call me when you need me.
I'll be there
I gave you pain killer so you should be fine soon.
Let us know if she's uncomfortable
Okay.
You have such a sweet daughter.
She's so good to you.
Why are you laughing?
Because it's funny.
Did you bring some makeup?
Why?
You said that Yerin and Kim Juhui are meeting tonight.
They might come see me after dinner.
I want to look decent.
Okay.
I also want to shower and wash my hair.
Will you help me?
What?
Please.
Okay.
Why didn't you go sit somewhere?
Why are you being so pitiful?
Because I need to breathe.
I understand your situation and all
but you're not paying any attention to our movie.
What about my situation?
Don't you remember?
You got drunk and told me
the woman you're having an affair with is dying.
What? Affair?
You really don't remember?
Did Yeonga come back home?
When I took you home,
it looked like she'd packed up and left you.
Are you kidding me?
I'm not smart enough to have an affair!
Who was that woman you were crying over then?
Oh, she's this woman I know.
I feel bad for her.
Really?
Yeah
What's this about an emergency?
Did the CEO say you can't do the movie?
I'm the one who quit.
What?
What did you do while I was gone?
He keep telling me to go under budget.
He told me not to do the rain and to change the size of the bridge.
How could he do that?
We're already a low budget movie.
What more can we do?
That's what I told him!
I'm sick and tired of his ways. I have to hit it big this time.
Will you get one more beer?
I have to go drop off the car. Go on.
Okay drive safely!
Bye, bye.
Lyeong?
- Auntie! - Seyeong.
Who's this?
Oh, this is is Han Jaeseong, the producer of Ilyeong's program.
This is my older sister.
Oh, hello.
I should get going now.
Bye.
That's the producer?
Yeah.
He's handsome.
I don't think so.
Who cares that he's in a head family?
Why, what happened?
Nothing'.
Who's this?
I thought you were a model.
Where did you guys go?
I'll tell you later.
You should go, Donguk.
Yeah, I'll see you later.
Auntie, we were on a picnic today.
Really?
What should we have for dinner7
I had some fried cakes and rice wine with Choi of Seongbuk dong.
I don't feel like eating.
I'll have some rice cakes later if I'm hungry.
Okay. What about you?
I had some fried cakes and beer with a friend too.
Okay
What do they want for dinner?
Your grandfather had fried cakes
and so did your father. They don't feel like eating.
But they have so many fried cakes for our memorial services.
Aren't they tired of those cakes?
Why would they pay money for fried cakes?
I get sick and want to vomit whenever I'm around the smell of cooking oil.
It's only the women who do all the work.
The men don't have to lift a finger so they don't know how hard it is.
If the men had to fry cakes for memorial services;
then we wouldn't have any fried cakes in Korea
There's so much discrimination against women in Korea
Yeah
What are we having for dinner?
Let's just have some water and cold rice.
We're not cooking more rice?
Why bother to when it's just us?
I'm home
Jaeseong.
Did you drop her off well?
Yeah.
What about dinner?
I haven't had any.
Okay, I'll make some rice for you. 221c
What more would you like to eat?
Your told me to have cold rice
and you re offering to cook more rice for him?
You're the one being unfair, mom.
What?
Jaeseong's not just any son.
Are you sure there's nothing going on with you and Seyeong.
I'm sure.
Why don't you try to start something.
I really like her.
I told you I'm not interested in dating right now.
If you keep teasing me, I'm going to ask her not to come.
Fine, fine, go upstairs.
I'll cook some rice for you.
Go upstairs.
I'm sorry.
Ilyeong?
Seongsu? What are you doing here?
I'm actually trying to collect old videotapes.
We have IPTV and internet files now
but I still love watching old VHS tapes
They're like listening to old scratchy IP records.
You're right.
What are you doing here?
I came to do some research.
And I can also get some ideas for the Movie Preview segment.
Since we're here, why don't we go have dinner
I lost yesterday so I owe you dinner
I'll pay you back tonight
Okay.
Are you doing that on purpose?
No.
Can't you do it right? And not make it hurt?
I'm doing my best.
Mother, what are you doing here?
I thought you went to see Yerin.
I stopped by to say something.
I'll wait outside.
No, you stay.
Okay.
I washed my hair so I would look pretty for Yerin.
What if she says she won't see you?
What do you mean?
Are you saying that so you won't have to tell Yerin the truth?
I'll keep my promise so don't worry
But I'm asking you about that possibility.
She might not want to see you, because she thinks you abandoned her.
My daughter would never do that.
Then promise me one thing.
What?
If Yerin says she doesn't want to see you
you have to walk away.
Okay.
Yeonga?
Yes?
You heard her. You're the witness.
Yes, mother.
I don't want to go to her...
Poor girl.
Why are you drinking so much?
I can handle two glasses.
And I didn't bring my car.
You want to say something to me don't you?
I'm smart
It's okay, so let me know What it is.
Remember Jang Mihwa? We had lunch together last time.
Yes.
She's actually...
My birth mother?
How did you know that?
Did Minguk or Yeonga tell you?
I told you I'm smart.
Well, since you know, I'll tell you everything.
Jang Mihwa is...
Mom, no.
I told you.
I'm grateful to her for leaving me.
And I've been a good daughter to you.
Please give me this one thing.
Don't ask me to go see her again.
I'm done. I've already met her once.
But Yerin...
Mom. please
I don't want to see her again.
Please.
I want to stay as your daughter
What time is it?
9.
Why are they taking so long with their stupid dinner?
Call her and ask her what's taking her so long.
It's not easy to ask someone to up half their liver.
Be patient.
I'll smack you in the mouth!
Why are you being mean to my wife?
Give it time.
I'm tired and sleepy.
I want Yerin to see me when I'm perky.
I'm going to take a nap.
Call me When she calls.
Okay.
Go home.
You're not coming?
I have to make a stop somewhere.
I'll drive you.
No, I'll be fine on my own.
Do as I say.
Okay.
I'll be waiting at home. Come home soon.
Okay.
What's taking her so long?
Call her.
She might come tomorrow.
She has to come right away to tell me what happened
Why is she taking so long?
Why are you by yourself?
Where's Yerin?
She's not coming.
She doesn't want to see you again.
What?
You're lying!
You didn't tell her the truth!
She'd come if she knew her mother was in the hospital.
Bring her!
No, I have to see her!
Jang Mihwa, you promised you wouldn't do this!
You heard her, right?
You heard her say she'll give up if Yerin say no.
Yes, I heard.
Don't lie to me.
I'm calling the reporters.
Bring me my daughter!
Do what you want!
This is where I've reached the end of my kindness.
I'm not taking care of you because I'm full of generosity or because I'm rich.
I didn't want Yerin to end up hurt.
So now you have to stop.
This can't be.
This is impossible! No!
Calm down!
This can't be happening!
I can't die like this! I can't!
Get her!
Jang Mihwa!
Jihyeon got her smile back thanks to Donguk
Why didn't you ask him to come have some fruit?
I think he's at the store. I'll take some to him.
Why isn't Ilyeong home yet?
- Yeah, she's late - Yes.
If she had a boyfriend. I'd think she was on a date.
But that's not possible.
Why didn't you go someplace nice since I'm buying?
I prefer places like this instead of going out for steak or pasta.
This takes me back to my college days.
Yeah, I remember having a lot of rice wine in college.
Were you going to choose "The Gingko Bed"?
That takes me back to old times.
I once waited in the snow for the woman I loved,
like General Hwang in the movie.
There was romance in that, in waiting for one another.
Yeah.
Have you done that before?
Of course.
It was like in the movie "Contact".
I remember sitting upstairs at cafe overlooking
Piccadilly Square crying over the man I loved.
It was so childish.
Did your story have a happy ending, like the movie?
If it did, I wouldn't be single.
What happened with you and the woman you loved?
The same thing. That's why I'm still single.
Should we go with "The Gingko Bed" and "Contact" for the next program?
That's is good.
They both have to do with one sided love.
Since we came up with a great idea, want to have a drink?
Yeah.
I'm sorry I laughed at you when said your nickname
was Audrey Hepburn. I'm sorry I called you Audrey "Heifer".
Well, I also laughed at you when you said your nickname was
Leslie Cheung. I called you Liar Cheung.
I'm sorry
Should we have a drink, Audrey?
Should we, Leslie?
See you tomorrow.
- Yeah, take care. - Yeah.
Did I work out too heavily this afternoon?
Why is my heart beating like this?
Did I have too much to drink?
Why does my face feel flushed?
Have some of this.
Thank you.
Are you studying?
Yeah, I'm studying for my high school equivalency test.
Let me see.
No
I said let's me see.
You got this easy problem wrong?
You never learned how to factor equations?
Math is really hard to learn on my own.
Oh.
I'll tutor you every day starting tomorrow for at least 30 minutes.
What?
I'm a science teacher.
I'm good at math too.
I can tutor you starting tomorrow.
That'd be great.
I can be scary when I'm teaching though.
Okay.
Have some fruit.
And thank you for today.
You're here.
You're not sleeping?
You have a radio show to do tomorrow morning.
I wanted to wait up for you.
You must be tired. Go to bed.
Okay.
Thank you, mom. I love you.
I know.
You can't sleep if you have coffee before bed.
I won't be able to sleep anyway.
I feel bad for her and for your mother
and for your sister and for myself
and for you
That's why people say life itself is one big sad story.
I really feel bad for her.
We should call Yerin for for her death, though.
Yerin doesn't want to see her.
But she has to be there when she dies.
Mother is taking care of her now.
but this woman's the person who gave birth to her.
I feel that Yerin has to stay with her on her deathbed.
I regret not being able to be with my mom when she died.
Hello.
- Hello. - Hello.
Good morning.
Hello
Good morning.
Are you okay?
Yeah.
What happened?
Are you going to see your mother?
Why would I?
She came to see you.
So? I don't care.
She left me when she wanted to.
I said I don't want to see her.
What did Ms. Kim say?
Why would she say anything to me?
I'm her daughter.
I don't have to be Kim Shinhye. I can go on living as Lee Yerin.
I feel a weight's been lifted.
I didn't have to worry.
Good. I was worried.
You don't have to.
I'll see you later at your farewell party.
Jangi Mihwa, wake up! Wake up!
Doctor.
How long has she been like this?
She kept throwing up at night. Then she lost consciousness.
She was fine a moment ago. Why is this happening?
I thought she was being strong despite her situation.
Did something happen recently to put her in shock?
Well...
I'm afraid you'll have to prepare for the worst.
Jang Mihwa, Jang Mihwa?
You look like you re in a good mood.
Me?
Wasn't I always like this?
You looked like you had something bothering you recently.
Oh?
Have a good show.
Thank you
What is it?
Mother, Jang Mihwa is about to die.
Her condition got worse last night Mother, Jang Mihwa is about to die.
Her condition got worse last night
and now she's in a coma.
The doctor told us to prepare for the worst.
What?
Bring Yerin here.
She has to be here for her mother before she dies.
Think about it.
Let's say you found Yeonju
Do you think you can die in peace?
She has to see her daughter before she dies.
Yerin.
Yes?
May I see you?
Yes.
What is it?
I need you to go somewhere with me.
Where are we going?
You'll see.
Mom.
Don't ask any question and come with me.
Mom, no...
No.
If she doesn't get a liver transplant.
she'll die.
You're her daughter
The odds are higher.
Is she out of her mind?
I hate her! She disgusts me.
You look like Brigitte Lin
with that hair
You're like Takeshi Kanehiro.
I like that you're always smiling.
- Go! - Go!
He was so sad when he was with me
but with Seyeong, he is so cheerful.
Why do I have to save that woman's life?
She left me.
Now she wants me?
If she really wants what's best for me,
she should have gone and died.
