I want to go to the US and live with my mom.
I miss my mom so much.
I had to draw a picture of my mom in art class,
but I couldn't really remember her face.
I tried my best to remember and drew what I could,
but it doesn't really look like her.
I can do a lot better if I look at her photo.
Photo?
I wonder why my mom never took any photos.
She should've taken a lot of them.
Tae Woong, let's go home now.
Your grandma must be waiting.
What's in that room?
It's locked.
Why do you keep it locked?
The room's really messy.
There's a lot to clean up.
We should go now.
Tae Woong, let's go. I'll take you back home.
Okay.
Bye, Jenny. Make sure you eat well.
Okay, Ji Young.
Tae Woong.
Let's go.
I feel sorry for you.
Your son came all the way here, but you couldn't even meet him.
Tae Woong misses you a lot.
I felt so sorry for him earlier.
Why couldn't you have lived a better life?
You even made Tae Woong grow up without a mom.
I was worried that this would happen.
That's why I kept quiet and never told anyone about you.
I would've kept it a secret for the rest of my life...
if you didn't mess with Sang Hyuk.
I know.
It's all my fault.
I must've been crazy.
I guess I still should've...
kept it a secret.
I'm sorry.
I'm surprised you offered to buy me dinner.
You should've called if you came to Korea.
Then I would've treated you to dinner a lot earlier.
I thought you might not be glad to see me.
What are you talking about? That's nonsense.
I'm quite startled.
It's been three years now, and I heard you're still single.
Is that true?
You're in no place to say that to me.
I'm only single because I have a lot to choose from.
What about you? Is it because you still have feelings for Kyung Shin?
What are you talking about? I'm over her.
Then were you single for three whole years?
My gosh, are you sure you're physically intact?
Hey, hey.
I can't believe you just said that.
- Let's eat. - Okay.
It's quite cold now. Gosh, my hands are freezing.
Are you cold?
Here.
I'm startled.
I thought you'd tell me to run once I told you that I'm cold.
What do you take me for?
- A heartless statue. - What?
This is nice.
Do you want to watch a movie with me next time?
Sure. What movie do you want to watch?
Something romantic since it's fall.
Okay, I'll reserve the tickets.
I want to go to the US and live with my mom.
I miss my mom so much.
Are you upset because of Tae Woong?
Why don't you ask your ex-husband for a favor?
He's a very kind man.
I accidentally ran into him...
after you went to jail.
I was going to avoid him because I felt sorry,
but he said hello to me first...
and told me to cheer up.
He was very nice.
Yes, he's a nice person.
Why did you have to do that to him?
You could've done better.
How about you ask him to do you a favor?
Maybe he'll let you meet Tae Woong.
Stop talking nonsense.
Not only will that never happen,
but I also don't want to meet him either.
I know you miss him.
This is just taking a toll on Tae Woong.
Tae Woong wants a photo of you.
I have a couple photos of you from a long time ago.
Can I send them to him?
No, don't.
Why not? Can't he even have any photos?
No good will come from sending him those photos.
He should forget about me as fast as he can.
I have to do it.
- Really? - Yes.
- Why? - Mom. Dad.
I have something to tell you guys.
What is it?
We're going to move out.
What's wrong? Do you feel uncomfortable about living here?
No.
We don't feel uncomfortable, but we should move out.
We can't live with you guys forever.
And you guys deserve to live more comfortably.
We don't mind living with you guys.
Yes, we're okay with it.
No, we're going to leave. I've already made up my mind.
We're going to move out.
We have some money saved up,
and with a little bit of loan, we'll be able to rent a place.
Really?
I mean, if that's what you insist, I guess there's nothing we can do.
I'll see you guys.
This is incredible!
We're free!
Hurray to independence! Hurray!
Hurray! Hurray!
We did it!
- They're going to move out. - My gosh.
Is this a dream?
My gosh, you've been through so much, honey.
You heard what I said, right? There's no turning back.
Fine.
Instead, your monthly allowance is going to be 100 dollars.
What? 100 dollars? Why?
If we move out, we'll have to hire a nanny,
pay back the loan plus interest,
pay our maintenance fee, and we'll also spend a lot more on groceries.
One person's entire paycheck will be spent on all of that.
We can't cancel our annuity insurance or installment savings.
So you'll just have to live with 100 dollars a month.
You can't have any more than that.
Welcome.
Is there something wrong?
I have something to tell you.
What is it?
Well, to be honest,
Ms. Choi is at my house.
What?
Kyung Shin? Your mom?
She was in that room when Tae Woong came yesterday.
I went to the suburbs for a shoot last week,
and I found her working at a restaurant.
She was doing chores, and some guys were mistreating her.
So I couldn't just leave her there.
Instead, I asked her...
to work and live at my place.
I see.
I'm sorry, Ji Young.
I should've asked you before making a decision.
No, it's okay.
I was worried about where she was and what she was doing.
I feel a lot more relieved now that I know she's with you.
As I know what she's done to you and Mr. Shin,
I shouldn't have helped her.
Don't think that way. You can help her if that's what you want.
Have you forgiven her?
I don't know. I sometimes pity her,
but I sometimes get so angry at her.
I don't know how I feel about her.
You must've brought her home because you've forgiven her a little.
You made a very difficult decision.
You should be careful though. Tae Woong can't find out.
She cried a lot...
after Tae Woong left.
She's still his mom. Can't you just let her meet him?
It's not as easy as it sounds.
Mother, Father, and Tae Woong's Dad doesn't want that to happen.
We don't have the right to get in the middle.
But Tae Woong misses his mom so much.
I feel so sorry for him.
But there's nothing we can do.
We should just hold it in.
Ji Young.
You don't know what it feels like to grow up with a mom, do you?
It feels really miserable.
Do you know how sad it is to be the only one...
growing up without a mom among all your friends?
Can't you let them meet just once?
I'm sorry.
It's not something we can meddle with.
It might cause big trouble to the family.
You shouldn't do anything rash either.
Na Mok.
- Kyung Shin. - Kyung Shin.
- My goodness, you're here. - Hey, Kyung Shin!
So this must be the place.
Yes, this is our factory.
It's tiny, isn't it?
Kyung Shin, you're here to work with us, aren't you?
Yes, I am.
Kyung Shin!
Thank you. I'm glad you're here.
I heard Lotieler's net profit...
already exceeded the yearly goal this quarter.
My gosh, you're incredible.
Word travels fast.
- Did Ms. Jang tell you? - Yes.
Are things working out between you guys?
I'm thinking about dating her.
Really? That's great news.
Hyun Joon, I'm so glad to hear that.
She's not too bad.
She has a great personality, and she's not too young either.
My gosh, it seems like you're head over heels for her already.
That's nonsense. I'm too old for that.
I'm just going to see how things go.
We only just started dating, so I don't know how it'll turn out.
Try your best, Hyun Joon.
You can ask me for some tips if you need any help.
I'm a master at dating.
My gosh, are you looking down on me right now?
I know as much as you.
Kyung Shin, now that you're here,
our factory looks a lot brighter.
She's right.
You look way different from us.
We're just normal people, but you look so elegant.
Exactly.
That's nonsense.
What?
You're from a rich family.
You're different from people like us who are from a poor background.
Kyung Shin,
our factory is a mess, isn't it?
What should we do?
Yes. If things keep going like this,
you won't be able to afford a proper living.
Exactly.
You should help us out and lead us toward the right way.
I'll try to think of a way.
Did you meet your son?
Why not?
I know you're divorced, but he's still your kid.
You don't need to cut ties with him just because you're divorced.
She's right.
People are allowed to see their kids even if they're divorced.
You should use the law.
I don't want to.
I have no right to meet him.
My gosh.
I killed someone, but I'm still living with my daughter.
And this con artist is living with her son as well.
It's not the kind of fraud you think it is.
I got arrested because I couldn't pay back my loan.
Gosh, okay.
I'll meet him later on when my son...
grows up a little.
Then are you saying Kyung Shin's living with Jenny?
It's better than having her do hard chores at a restaurant.
Yes, of course.
I was worried. I'm relieved to know that she's living with Jenny.
Gosh, Jenny has such a big heart. I can't believe she forgave her.
Jenny told me that she feels sorry toward us.
It's her choice.
Then I guess we shouldn't take Tae Woong to Jenny's house anymore.
Yes, I know. I'll be careful.
Hyun Joon apparently decided to date Ms. Jang.
Really? That's great.
It's Doctor Oh.
Hey, Doctor Oh. Have you been well?
I heard you got discharged.
But I didn't know your number,
so I asked Ji Young for it.
Thank you for caring about...
someone like me.
Don't say that. We've been friends for years.
You went through so much.
It's okay.
Are you doing well? Where are you living?
I'm doing well.
What about Tae Woong? Can you not meet him?
He thinks I'm in the US.
He must miss you a lot.
Kyung Shin, what are you going to do now?
Do you have a plan?
I'm going to try something.
What?
I'm going to start a small business...
with a few friends I made when I was in prison.
Kyung Shin, you can ask me for help whenever.
I'll do my best to help you out.
Okay, thank you.
- Mother, you're here. - Yes.
I came to ask you something.
Sure, what is it?
Would it be okay if my husband and I...
took care of Soo Ji during the weekend?
We really want to spend the weekend with our granddaughter.
Of course, you can take care of her.
Really? Thank you.
It's going to be so much fun.
I'm so excited. I can't wait.
You can take some rest now. I'll go.
You're going to leave already?
Of course. Jin Kook said he'd be here really soon.
I hope you have a delicious dinner.
Mother, I feel so upset.
Why?
Why do you always insist on leaving every time I come home?
Do I make you feel uncomfortable?
No, that's not it.
I just figured you might feel uncomfortable.
I don't feel uncomfortable.
It's annoying to have a mother-in-law around.
You'll have to cook and do stuff.
What's so bad about that?
It's not hard to cook for my mother-in-law.
I actually want to spend time, talk together,
and have dinner with you and Father.
But you always leave the moment I come home.
It's really upsetting, you know.
My goodness, Hye Rim.
You always care so much about me...
and buy stuff for me.
So it's only natural that I feel grateful.
It's not a sin to be a mother-in-law.
Why are you always worried that I might find you uncomfortable?
Don't be like that.
It's your son's house, so think of it like your own...
just like my parents do.
My goodness, Hye Rim. Thank you so much.
My gosh, Mother.
I'll cook dinner for you. You should eat before you go.
We should also have some wine together.
You can even sleep over if you want.
My daughter-in-law is the best.
I'm so touched right now.
I love you, Hye Rim.
My gosh, Mother.
Where were you?
I met a few friends.
Friends?
I met them in prison.
They run a small factory that makes clothes.
And I decided to work with them.
Really?
I'm thinking about living there.
What?
I can't stay here forever.
I'm going to move out tomorrow.
Is there even a place to sleep there?
Yes, there's a small room at the factory.
You can't live there.
I'll be fine.
Why? Do you not like being here?
- What? - Can't you be bothered...
to cook and do the laundry for me?
I never got to eat my mom's handmade food like all my other friends.
But you're going to leave only after a couple of days?
Why? Is it because I was hard on you?
Think about how you treated me.
No, that's not it.
I just didn't want to make you feel uncomfortable by staying here.
I don't care.
I eat better thanks to you,
and you even do my laundry for me.
I thought you didn't like the food I cooked for you.
Well, I don't eat it because it's delicious.
I just eat it because it's edible.
Then...
should I just stay here?
Well, it'll be better than the factory.
Okay, then.
I'll just stay here.
Thank you.
- Wasn't the movie so fun? - Yes, it was.
I saw you sleeping earlier.
You saw that?
What should we have for dinner?
I'll buy you dinner.
We should eat something fancy since you're buying.
Sure, go ahead. All I have is money, so eat whatever you want.
You eat so well.
Is it that delicious?
It tastes really good.
Thank you.
Tae Woong used to love my handmade apple pie.
- This? - Yes.
Should I give him some?
What's the big deal?
I'll just drop by and give him some tomorrow.
Would you do that for me?
Here.
I bought some clothes for Jung Hoo.
Thank you.
My gosh, this is so pretty.
- Do you like it? - Yes.
Ji Young, look at this.
They're some blind date candidates for Hyun Joon.
Who do you think is best?
Mother, Hyun Joon's dating someone.
What?
Really? Who?
- You probably know her as well. - Who is it?
Her name is Jang You Jin.
She's the president of Global Investment's Asia-Pacific region.
You met her at the opening ceremony of Lotieler Department Store.
He's dating her?
Three.
Honey, honey.
Hyun Joon's dating someone.
- What? - He's dating Ms. Jang You Jin.
Remember the American firm that invested in Sang Hyuk's company?
Are you talking about that really tall lady?
Yes, she went to university with Hyun Joon.
They were close ever since they were in university.
They must have a pretty big age difference.
Yes, I also thought she'd be a lot younger than him,
but she's only five years younger than him.
Really?
Is she married?
She was married once.
But thankfully, she doesn't have any kids.
What do you think?
I guess she won't be able to have kids since she's too old.
Yes.
But if we think about Tae Woong,
it might not be so bad to have her focus on raising him...
instead of having any kids of her own. Don't you think so?
Sang Hyuk told me that he set them up together.
She has a great personality, and she's amiable.
If Sang Hyuk set them up, then I'm sure she'll be fine.
Yes, we should hurry up and make them get married.
Okay.
Mother and Father can't find out about this.
Don't you think this is a bad idea?
Don't worry. I'll give it to him discreetly.
- Hey, Jenny. - Are you at home?
Yes.
Then can you come meet me at the front gate for a while?
Don't tell anyone.
Okay.
What's wrong?
Come and gather around for a second.
What's the matter?
What do you think about starting a business based on customer demands?
A business based on what?
What's that?
Simply put, it's a business...
that delivers clothes that our customers want.
We can gather factories like us...
and make a brand out of all of them.
Then we can deliver some of the clothes to our customers.
People buy clothes online or via home shopping because they're busy.
But we're going to target people that want to try on the clothes...
before they buy them.
They can try it on and buy it if they like it.
And if they don't, they won't have to buy it.
And then?
After we do that a couple of times,
we'll be able to get a grasp of what type of clothes each customer likes.
Then we'll be able to deliver clothes that he or she might like...
which will enhance the probability of them actually buying the clothes.
Like this, we can increase the number of our customers...
by reaching out to them directly.
I wonder if it'll work.
She's right. How are we going to visit everyone one by one?
We'll have to spend a lot on labor costs.
There are people like us that wish to live a diligent life...
but can't because they're an ex-convict.
We can ask them for help.
Come on. I'm pretty sure people will wear our clothes a few times...
and decide not to buy them at the last minute.
There are a lot of ill-mannered people.
We can slowly filter out people like them.
It's inevitable to have leftovers when you work in fashion.
So we can just think of them as that.
And in the end, we can do good deeds by donating those clothes...
to poor people.
Do you think so?
But do you think the other factories will join us?
I'll go to each factory myself and try to convince them.
If we agree to distribute the profit equally...
and promote us as a social enterprise,
I'm sure a lot of factories will be interested in joining.
It's going to require a lot of money.
How are we going to afford everything?
Tae Woong, are you going somewhere?
I'm going to play out in the garden.
I see. It's cold outside.
I'll be okay. It's not that cold. I'll be back soon.
Okay.
- Tae Woong. - Jenny.
Come inside.
- Hey, can you give us a second? - Sure.
Here.
I brought these for you.
They're apple pies.
You can take home the rest.
- Don't show this to anyone, okay? - Okay.
It's good.
Who made this?
My staff. Why?
- It's delicious. - Really?
Eat up.
What's wrong?
This reminds me of my mom.
I miss her.
I still can't remember what she looks like...
even though I saw her a few days ago.
- Why not? - I don't know.
The more I think about her, the more I end up forgetting.
Jenny, do you end up forgetting if you think about something too much?
I have a photo of her.
Really? Can you show me?
I'll send it to you...
if you promise that you won't tell or show anyone.
I promise.
- Do you really promise? - Yes.
Mom.
That was taken years ago.
I remember now.
My mom has beautiful eyes, nose, and lips.
Hey.
I'm with Tae Woong right now.
He's crying saying that he misses you.
Do you want to talk to him?
What?
Who is she?
(I am also Mother)
Can't you just let her meet Tae Woong?
It's not that simple.
I want to show this to my mom.
Tae Woong, why did you leave without saying anything?
What did you do with Jenny?
Mom's not in the US.
Why did you lie to me?
Why are you making things harder for me?
I heard you met Tae Woong. We need to meet.
