I need to finish it very quickly since I don't have an anesthetic.
Look away if you think you'll be shocked.
I won't be.
Have you ever sutured without an anesthetic?
Of course.
- When? - Maybe not.
Soo Jin, you met the right person.
I am so good at needlework.
That's why they call me "zipper"
Just give me one minute.
Just like closing a zipper, it will be done to perfection.
Bite down on this.
If you bite too hard, you will look weird.
Don't worry about me.
Think of me as a bag... a leather bag.
It's going to hurt a little.
Ok. You are doing well.
You are doing well. How are you enduring so well?
Are you awake? Can you tell me your name?
What is your name?
Kim Yoon Bok
What's your mom's name?
Sin Ja
We are almost done. I just need to wrap it up now.
I told you that I would stitch you up good.
We worked great as a team.
Were you scared?
I want to go home, Mom.
Home? You want to go back?
Our home. The barber shop.
We need to sleep here today.
Why? Is it because you were scared to see the doctor stitch mom's palm?
It's ok.
Sleeping?
Just fell asleep.
Did you move in recently?
Ummmm. About 2 years ago.
I keep telling myself everyday to get organized... if I had known you would come here, I would have done it earlier.
From now, as a doctor, I need to ask you few questions.
Are you on the run from dangerous people?
This? I am the dangerous person.
It wasn't done by others but myself.
There is a lady who refuses to go to the hospital despite a deep cut on her palm.
That lady refused to go to the hospital despite her daughter being sick.
And I treated her and her daughter.
I need to know as a doctor.
What am I getting myself into?
Did you have both parents when you were growing up?
Yes.
Were they both good people?
I suppose.
Did you have a lot of friends in school?
You could say that.
Did you ever run away from home?
Is this some type of a survey?
Did you eat well?
Did you feel sorry toward someone every time you had your meal?
Have you ever cried while sleeping in a comfy bed?
I am an adoptee.
At age 6, I was abandoned and got adopted at age 8.
I can barely remember anything about my biological mother.
I never thought of reuniting with her.
Anyway I was not her child any longer,
and she too was not my mother.
Human Docu. Actress Cha Yeong Sin's...
Children have a mom who gave birth to them.
But, not all birth moms can take care of their children.
My mom who gave birth to me couldn't take care of me
so my present mom is the one who is taking care of me.
It's because present mom needs me.
Human Documentary
Yeon Sin takes Soo Jin everywhere she goes.
Film locations, beauty salon, even when she is going shopping.
For the future, Soo Jin will take her family name from Yong Shin and will live as Kang Soo Jin.
Let's accompany them on their beautiful journey together starting now.
I need her.
I can concentrate and feel calm when she is around.
That's the reason, director takes extra care so Soo Jin can feel comfortable on the set.
What I really really don't understand is that.
I really don't get it no matter how much I think of it even during my sleep.
What kind of mother could abandon a child like her?
Even though she can be so precious and special to someone.
Maybe my birth mother was poor and miserable.
Maybe she had a reason which cannot be told.
I couldn't get rid of those thoughts.
Everytime I ate delicious food,
I thought about my biological mother who could be starving somewhere.
Maybe I pitied my birth mother.
She left after placing me underneath a tree.
But..
I met her today.
When I saw her in person,
I hated her.
"How could you abandon your own kid and run away?"
I really wanted to yell at her like that and hit her so I ran away.
You did a great job. That is perfectly normal.
Your palm will heal in a week. I believe you should do what you want to do.
If you don't feel satisfied, go back and do more...
hitting, kicking or shouting.
Never
will I meet her again.
No.
You are bound to meet her again.
Go round and round, but you will meet again.
Meet again and you'll talk and cry.
People are like that.
It will be over, then.
I've never waited for her.
I've never wanted to meet her.
I never wanted to share that with her as to who I am and how I lived my life.
But.. WHY?
Why did you run a barber shop in a place like here for such a long time?
Even though you're teased as a witch by the neighborhood kids. It pisses me off!
Mom, why are you tying me up?
I'm not a bicycle.
I have to go somewhere and it's going to take some time.
It won't do if you go somewhere and I can't find you.
But I won't go anywhere.
I'm not going anywhere but wait here.
You promised.
You would come back and unlock it.

Hye Na... where are you?
MISSING Kim Hye Na/ 9 years old
According to a lawyer, they won't be able to prosecute me at all.
If they can't find Hye Na, our abuse.....
that's will be difficult to prove.
Even if we go on a trial, the maximum I can get will be probation, I heard.
Do you know Teacher Kang Soo Jin?
Huh? Who is that?
Isn't that Hye Na's homeroom teacher?
No. That doesn't sound like the homeroom teacher's name.
Find out who she is.
Why?
If Hye Na is alive, it doesn't do you any good.
Yoon Bok, did you sleep well?
Where is my mom?
She had some urgent errand to take care, so she left early in the morning. She should be back before lunch.
Are you hungry? Come. Let's eat.
Until my mom is back, I am not going to eat aything.
Really? This is really tasty but I guess I have to eat it alone.
What is it?
This one, once you fill it up with hot water, turns into tomato spaghetti.
This is my favorite. And this one,
If you pull on this string, it becomes hot and turns into bibimbap (vegetable mixed rice).
This is my second favorite.
And this is... jjajangmyeon (black bean noodle)
And this is a combat ration for the French Army.
Once it's heat up, it turns into Chicken curry.
Curry? I like curry.
Really? I think I am going to have curry.
Teacher~
We met before.
Yes.
You asked me my name and my mom's name didn't you?
Yes.
My name is Kim Yoon Bok.
My mom's name is Kang Soo Jin.
Don't try to know more about us.
My mom is not a bad person.
She is my mom who is the most precious and appreciated in the world.
Yoon Bok, what kind of teacher am I?
Doctor. Right.
Doctors can't share with other anything they heard from their patient.
That's the law.
So... if I tell others of your secret, you can sue me.
Really? What is "sue"?
Anyway, our talk is a secret.
- Even to my Mom? - Even to Mom!
Can you eat breakfast now?
Just because I am eating this, it doesn't mean that I will tell you about us.
I know.
I can't decide on tomato spaghetti and chicken curry.
Then we should eat both.
Teacher Kang Soo Jin?
We don't have anyone by that name at our school..
I see there is no teacher under that name.
Thank you.
Oppa, they said there is no teacher by that name.
The teacher who came last time,
Are you talking about that Teacher Song who acted like a dummy?
There was the lady who came with that teacher.
Was there?
Go meet that Song something teacher and find out about that Kang Soo Jin.
- Do I have to? - Yes!
Student, can we stop here today and continue tomorrow, please?
Pardon?
I will cut your hair nicely tomorrow.
Bro.
You have a sister, too, right? I can cut her hair, too.
Bring her with you. I'll give you both a free hair cut tomorrow.
Sam Hwa Barber Shop
Actually...
I waited for you.
For a very long time.
But I tried my best
not to wait for you for a longer time that I waited for you.
No one is coming for me.
That women abandoned me.
She would never come back.
I consoled myself, got angry with myself and beat myself up.
That's how I spent my childhood, youth, and adulthood
up to now.
Did you really think that I would accept this, Ajumeoni (Mrs)?
Did you think I would be thankful and happy to see you?
Did you expect me to greet you (like nothing happened)?
Then, what on earth are you doing here?
If you had ran away from me like that, you should have lived better.
Isn't that what you should be doing at least for my sake?
I saw you... on TV.
If I hadn't seen how you got adopted, how you were living,
and how you were doing, (it would have been different).
But I saw you.
I was so confident about hiding it well.
I thought you had no reason to visit a barbershop because you are a girl.
I won't be telling the truth even if I got tortured.
I just wanted to see you going to school and coming back each day.
I just wanted to see how you were doing each day.
That was all.
Who would've thought that you'd show up here hand in hand with a little daughter.
I never imagined
that that girl would jump in here with being cold.
I couldn't just throw it away
or use it.
So I saved it.
It's the record
of the 27 years
that I spent here.
In case you might need it later on.
Ajumeoni, even if I had to sell the very clothes I'm wearing to find money
I would refuse your money.
Don't ever say that a single day you lived here was for my sake.
I refuse that too.
Let me ask just one thing.
Why did you do that?
Did you hate me?
Did I make things difficult for you?
Did I have to disappear...
for you to live?
I don't remember.
So I keep thinking and thinking like a madwoman.
Tell me.
It's the only thing you can do for me.
You can't?
Return the monthly rent I gave you minus the four days I spent here.
Let's not ever meet again.
Thanks to you, I got a great chance to look around the police station.
It's a good opportunity to get rid of the allegations, isn't it?
So many people are trying so hard to find Hye Na.
So I too want to properly try and find her.
- Who is teacher Kang Soo Jin? - Did something happen?
I mean the one who came with you to visit me.
That time, I ragged her there against her will.
Because Kang Soo Jin was the temporary class teacher for Hye Na.
Ah... So Kang Soo Jin was the temporary teacher in charge of Hye Na's homeroom?
Yes. But she didn't stay long in our school, and she wasn't interested in Hye Na at all.
- How do you know? - Because I was the one who was interested in Hye Na.
I was worried that something serious would happen at this rate.
It was I who sought help from the school, police stations and child protection centers time and again.
Even though Kang Soo Jin was Hye Na's class teacher temporarily,
she wasn't concerned about the child at all.
She is not in the country now anyway.
- Where is she now? - Iceland.
That far?
She left before Hye Na went missing.
She went to study birds or something, I heard.
So she studies birds.
I have to go because there's an urgent patient.
But I'll return before dinner time. Stay till then.
We have to go too. We were going to leave anyway.
You are going to go to a hotel with Yoon Bok again?
Yoon Bok is scared to be here.
I'm going to find a place to stay as soon as possible.
I will speak with Yoon Bok.
You too have a word with me. It won't take long.
Do you feel uncomfortable around me?
I will sleep out. I'm used to living in the hospital.
Doctor,...
I...
I want to go somewhere that nobody knows.
I wish I had a lot of things to do.
I wish I were really busy.
I'm worried about Yoon Bok.
Worried that she'll find out that I'm not in my right mind right now.
Worried that she'd think I'm angry with her.
I want to show her that I'm normal.
Yoon Bok is fine. She's not concerned at all.
No. She hides her feelings.
She says she didn't get beaten even if she did. She lies that she is not hurt even if she is.
Right now, that's you.
It's the same as if you got into an accident psychologically.
You've broken your bones and you're bleeding heavily. But you insist that you can walk.
You feel you can walk right now?
You are going to collapse after a few steps. Take some rest, please.
No. I'm not hurt that much.
I dumped her everyday in my head.
I simply did it in reality today.
You say I can't walk?
I can do the same thing all over again tomorrow.
It doesn't affect me at all.
They say she went to study in Iceland before Hye Na went missing.
- Iceland? - Yeah. Isn't that lucky?
As for the prepaid phone you're looking at, you can connect up to four lines under your name.
There are four kids in my class who have cellphones.
They are all wearable here. (Refers to a watch with phone functions)
So I'm the only one who really owns a cellphone.
I want to show them. What will they say?
Yoon Bok, I have something to tell you. Look here.
We are not going to live in the barbershop anymore.
You are not going to ask why?
- Is it because of me? - No.
I know you gone along well with Ajumeoni.
I was very pleased and grateful to see that.
But I had an argument with the barbershop Ajumeoni.
You know that even adults fight with each other, right?
Is it okay to call her?
As I told you before, you can only call my number that is saved there.
You shouldn't call or receive calls from anyone else. Okay?
Let's stay at a hotel today, and start looking for a place to stay tomorrow.
I won't leave you alone from now on.
It's okay even if you leave me alone.
Because I have a cellphone now.
Anyway, I will return before dinnertime now.
This turns into Bibimpab if you tug at the string.
There's also Jjajjangmyeon. I can eat alone.
Thanks.
I promised to meet someone at the cafe up there, so I have to go.
The time right now is 54 minutes, can you see?
I will come back when it's 20 or 25 minutes.
Can you wait alone for me here till then?
Yes.
Can I ask who she is?
She resembles you.
There are so many minutes left till 3:20.
Soo Jin, I know you are smart,
but if you were going to, you could somehow disappear.
To a place where I can't reach you, right?
But... You always came back.
This time, you should come back on time, okay? When the problem resolves, come back immediately.
If you don't make it on time, I will really get angry at you.
You know what I mean, right?
I understand, Ahjussi.
So please make sure Mom won't pass away.
Does your mom ever listen to me?
Granma!
[Viki Ver] tvN E06 Mother -♥ Ruo Xi ♥-
Because... I have a... cold.
Then, I'll talk.
I got a cell phone. But I can't make a call.
Mom told me to not call anyone besides her.
That's what I meant to say. I don't know any contacts yet.
I don't even know my number.
We will be leaving soon.
Later.. When I grow up, I will come back to see you on my own.
I will remember the way here.
I've got to go now, Granma. Bye.
Yes. Yes. Of course.
Then, just a moment. I will take a memo.
- Yes, yes, yes. - Oh.
Ah, no, no. Sorry, I will call you again. I'm sorry.
Ah, seriously.
Ah, really, what should I do?
I'm sorry.
I was busy... Well, did you get injured anywhere?
W-what is this? I was in a hurry.
I'm sorry. I thought I put my gear in Park... Sorry.
I get it. Just call the insurance company.
Oh, okay. I will make a call now.
I'm sorry.
Hello?
Excuse me.
I would like to report an accident.
This man was the one that bumped into your car.
What did you say?
- This man's car rolled backwards and bumped into your car. Not the other way around. - Aish.
Seriously, I'm in a hurry, really.
I saw everything.
I will call you again. Sorry.
Let me check my black box.
This crook.
Is this the insurance company? This is Jongno-gu, Pyeongchang-dong, Pyeonchang Munhwa-ro.
What's the street number?
It's 24th street.
Yes, Pyeongchang Munhwa-ro, 24th street. There was a minor traffic accident.
Thank you. You are really smart. Where do you live?
Do you live near here?
The barbershop.
The Sam Hwa Barbershop! You live there, I see!
No, I just live there temporarily.
I see. What's your name? I want to send you something in gratitude.
Yoon Bok!
Mom!
Unnie!
Come here, Yoon Bok.
Her name is... Yoon Bok?
I'm sorry, Hyeon Jin.
But can't you keep seeing Yoon Bok a secret?
Unnie. Our mom is a woman who raised three daughters without a husband.
There is no one better than Mom who can understand you.
It's because I'm running out of time.
We need to leave soon. As soon and quietly as possible.
I will explain later.
Of all people, isn't it Mom, who's running out of time?
Mom might pass away without knowing you have a daughter.
You don't know how much she loves kids, do you?
Whenever she sees kids, her eyes are full of sweet honey.
When it comes to Tae Yoon and Tae Mi, she could blow off her live shooting.
If she sees Yoon Bok, she might want to live.
You know... A wish to live matters the most when it comes to cancer.
I'm sorry, Hyen Jin. Mom won't understand.
You or Yi Jin won't understand. Even I can't understand this situation either.
The only thing I know for sure is that I need to take that child immediately
and run away as far as possible.
Alright, Unnie.
Anyway, I understand your situation.
But I'm a reporter. Telling a lie is not in my nature.
You asked me a really difficult favor.
Have we got found out?
No, we're okay. Don't mind it.
Sorry, it's my fault.
It wasn't your fault. Everything's going to be fine.
I need to go somewhere.
I will be back by 4:30.
Eat this and wait for me. Let's have dinner when I get back.
I will leave my bag and coffee here. If someone asks where I am, tell her I went to the restroom.
If something's up, call me, okay? Can you do it?
Yes, I can. Come back from the restroom soon.
I'm home.
Welcome back.
How are you?
Try this.
If you don't give it now, you will lose. Rock, scissors, paper!
Oh, it's good.
Mom ordered beef from Hoengseong. She wants to feed Unnie before she leaves.
There's no Korean braised ribs abroad, you know.
I lost.
I'm home.
Oh, you are here. Big Aunt is here.
- Hello. - Hi.
You are here earlier than I expected. It needs some more time.
It's good.
Paper, paper, rock!
Don't you think she's suddenly got on top of her games?
I guess she's treating us as Chairman.
What does that mean?
You woudn't know since you left early yesterday. Yi Jin is going to take the chairman position.
Ask Lawyer Sang Doek later.
Mom, I don't think I can have dinner with you tonight.
Why?
Mom said she will be here at 4:30
Its 4:05 now
and so how much longer?
One minute, two minutes, three...
I have an urgent issue to take care so I need to get going.
And.... can we meet a little earlier next time?
Soo Jin, you need to tell us what this urgent issue is.
Everyone gathers and prepares to have dinner with you.
If you won't tell us why you can't keep your promise to have dinner with us,
that's too rude, isn't it?
What? You are leaving without having dinner?
I'm sorry.
What are you saying? Try eating even one spoonful of food. It doesn't take long to eat.
Yeah and also tell us about this urgent business too.
Dr. Jeong, what's up?
What? You are on your way here?
You want to take Soo Jin?
When? Where are you going?
Going for a drive and a dinner?
I guess you did have urgent business which you can't tell us about.
Eat first. Dr. Jeong can eat first too. I've cooked more than enough anyway.
Hey, what is important? Kalbijim (braised short rib) or man?
When you were younger, you've done far worse than this.
Hurry and go.
Soo Jin, get in.
Look at her getting in so quickly.
Don't think they are just acquaintances.
I'm sorry. Were you surprised?
Yes, I was.
There is a place I needed to go with you, but there was no way of contacting you in advance.
Because we need to be there on time.
Where is it?
Place that I go often on weekend nights. Place I seldom spend overnight too
Where is Yoon Bok?
What is the relationship between Dr. Jeong and Unnie?
I don't know but they met 3 times this week.
Huh?
Mom, you're pretty amazing, aren't you?
You're so ill and yet you still try to find your daughter a husband.
Aren't you thankful that you too managed to get married because of that?
But it isn't a blissful marriage.
Where can you find blissful marriages? Being able to give birth to such cute children is good enough.
They don't match.
What do you mean?
How old is Dr. Jeong? Is he younger?
What are you saying? Soo jin looks a lot younger.
A doctor at his age who's still unmarried is strange and worrisome.
If he were that decent, he would have been taken already.
Perhaps Dr. Jeong has some kind of problem?
Just on time.
We need to find a place before the sunset. Soon birds will start night aviation.
After night aviation, a goldfinch comes first to sleep in.
And then, a mountain bird and a woodpecker follow.
Once it gets quieter, please watch carefully. A solitary snipe might come in.
A solitary snipe?
I heard one has to accumulate good deeds through three generations to be able to see a solitary snipe.
But I saw it for three years here at around this time every year.
If we go up a little more from here, there is a creek.
Next to it, there is a wide and flat rock. You need to wait there without moving at all.
Because that bird flies around only for thirty minutes right before sunset.
You can go now.
By myself?
Just for 30 minutes. Total solitude where nobody knows you.
Yoon Bok, you're okay to be with me while she's gone, right?
Bye, Mom.
There was a baby bunny who wanted to run away.
"Mom, I am going to run away"
If you run away, I will catch you.
For you are my cute little baby
"Mom, if you follow me, I'll go to the river and turn into a fish"
And swim away.
If you go to the river and turn into a fish, I will become a fisherman.
And catch you.
If mom becomes a fisherman
I will climb up high on the mountain and turn into a rock.
I am going to give everything to this child.
I am going to give her a whole lot.
Until the child's scar is healed.
This is so important to me.
Because it's a matter of my soul.
If you go high up on the mountain and turn to rock,
I will become a hiker.
And will go up to where you are.
No, I don't need a lot stuff.
When I receive those things, I think..
Did my birth mom abandon me because she couldn't give me these stuffs?
I can live without these, though.
Soo Jin's birth mother must have some kind of hidden story (to abandon her child).
But when I think about how Soo Jin was abandoned,
I don't feel like understanding whatever hidden story the birth mother had.
The child's body was full of injuries and
I think she was tied with a lock so she couldn't run away.
The only reason I could understand the birth mother would be the case she had a fatal disease.
Then, "Ah. That's why she could not raise her child any longer."
Like that, I will get to understand her finally.
I'll turn into a bird and fly far away.
If this program airs on TV, can everyone see me?
Everyone in our country can see you.
Is there someone whom you want to see it?
How would you like that person to see you?
That, I am doing well
If you turn into a bird and fly far away, then I will become a tree
and wait for you here... forever.
I am well
Are you open?
Of course. Come on in.
What are their names?
One is Soo and the other is Jin
Soo & Jin
I need to feed them.
Oh, my. What should I do? She needs this to feed the birds.
What?
I didn't give the bird cage key back.
I was in charge of the birds.
Yoon Bok!
Mom!
You've been well, Mom?
You've been well, too?
You are saying Unnie has a child?
Unnie asked me to keep it from Mom, but I don't think it's right.
You are saying Unnie has a child?
Unnie asked me to keep it from Mom, but I don't think it's right.
Why do you think so?
Mom will be so happy when she sees her child.
At this rate, she might pass away not knowing Unnie has a daughter.
Why do you think we didn't know she had a child all along?
If that child was legal and just, we would've known already.
If Unnie had an affair with a married man... Are you saying that Mom will be happy to know that
her well-raised daughter broke someone's family apart and is on the run with the child?
If someone finds out that her daughter has done something bad, which would earn the societal criticism,
even an normal healthy person will break down mentally and physically.
But Mom? In this situation?
What should we do?
What do you mean? We should hide it and make sure they leave well.
Unnie Soo Jin is really sneaky.
She seemed like she'd never have a child in her life when we were talking about inheritance yesterday.
Attack!
Why are Mom and Aunt talking over there when it's so cold?
Mom and Aunt are talking?
They don't usually converse.
We usually use that place for having a secret conversation.
Oppa, do you know where Iceland is?
It's in the end of earth.
I think it will be fine.
Even if that woman, Kang Soo Jin, really took Hye Na. If they are in Iceland, then-
Why did they go to Iceland again?
To study, I hear. What did they say she studies?
Birds?
Oppa. Let's live well from now.
We only have each other, you know.
What are you planning to do, with Soo Jin Unnie?
They will be leaving soon. I can only say that much.
When are they leaving?
In 2 weeks?
If she's leaving, she should leave soon. Why take 2 weeks? Is there a problem?
I will tell you later.
She flirts with a single man in that short time, really.
It won't do. I didn't think she was that kind of a person.
It's not that...
Yes, Ma'am.
Can we stop by the barbershop for a moment, Mom?
For what?
I brought the cage key with me. Grandma won't be able to feed the birds.
I'm sorry, Mom.
Alright. You tell me now.
I was debating whether I should tell you,
but Unnie Soo Jin has her reasons...
Hey.
Okay. Soo Jin must have her reasons for sure.
But it is her problem. When were you going to tell me then?
But first, she needs to be ready to introduce her child to you-
So, you say Soo Jin has a child?
Look at them.
Granma!
Oh, my. Oh, dear.
Oh, my..
Feed them now, Grandma. They must have been hungry, right?
By the way.. Are you feeling better?
Thanks for everything.
Let's go there again.
Can we do that?
Let's go tomorrow. I go to work on Monday.
Sounds good.
Am I stopping you from going in there for a good-bye, aren't I?
That's not it.
Yoon Bok, let's go now.
Okay.
Oh, my!
Are you the one that abandoned my daughter?

♪ Even the voice I missed ♪
This is her? Why have you been hiding her? Is there a problem or something?
- You are Kang Soo Jin's daughter? - Yes.
I'm your grandmother.
Grandma.
By any chance, can I see a picture of Hye Na?
I feel like she resembles a child I know.
Until a 7-year old grows up to enter college.. What's the probability of me surviving till then?
I just remembered what I've forgotten all this time.
