You're the Best, Lee Soon Shin (최고다 이순신)

Episode 26

Soon Shin.

You...

You have a real mother who gave you birth.

But Soon Shin...

I never thought you are not my daughter.

Please don't forget that.

Thank you for coming today. I really appreciate it.

The reason why I am having this press conference is...

I'd like to reveal I have a daughter and tell you why I had to hide it from people.

A long time ago, I had a daughter with someone I loved.

But we had to break up for some unavoidable reasons.

I didn't know where my daughter was raised.

I found out about her by a remarkable coincidence.

I apologize for waiting to tell the truth to the public with a humble bow.

I beg for your forgiveness.

When did you have the daughter?

Did it happen after your debut or before?

Please check out the press release for the details.

So do you keep in touch with your daughter now?

She hasn't known that I'm her real mother until now.

If I think of her, I feel so sorry and agonized as her mother.

I'm sorry but I really don't want the media to give undue concern about my daughter.

I'm afraid that she'll get hurt because of me.

Please. Please...

Show your mercy to my daughter.

Why are you revealing this now?

Where's your daughter?

When are you going to reveal your daughter to the media?

Please answer the questions.

Mom.

What did you just say?

Am I not your daughter?

Are you kidding me now?

You're joking right?

Soon Shin...

Then who is it?

Who is it? Who is my mom?

Who's the mom who gave birth to me?

The reason why I am having this press conference is...

I'd like to reveal I have a daughter and tell you why I had to hide it from people.

What's that?

- When did you get here? - Turn that on.

No, Grandma.

A long time ago, I had a daughter with someone I loved.

But we had to break up for an unavoidable reason.

I didn't know where my daughter was raised.

I found out about her by a remarkable coincidence.

She really did it. What should I do to that bitch?

She crossed the line. Why is she having the press conference?

She was supposed to get our permission first.

'I feel so sorry and agonized as her mother?'

That's a lie!

She's such a bitch.

If she really cares about her daughter, she should've gone down her knees.

What is she doing over there?

- Grandma, are you okay? - Grandma.

Soon Shin...

Hye Shin, can you turn on the TV again?

No. There's nothing to watch, you know.

I want to watch. I want to.

Soon Shin.

Mom.

I just can't believe it.

I can't believe a single word you said.

I'm not your daughter?

You're not my mom?

Grandma, answer the question.

She's really not?

Then who am I?

Soon Shin...

Should I believe what you said? Why am I not your daughter?

How come Teacher Song Mi Ryung is my mother?

I am your daughter. That's what I have believed for more than 20 years.

Why are you telling me that I'm not your daughter now?

Soon Shin, let's talk in my room.

No. I'm not going to listen anymore.

There's nothing to talk about with you.

Soon Shin. Soon Shin!

Mom, I'll go get her.

Soon Shin!

Hi.

Did you see my sister by any chance?

She went this way.

Hye Shin!

Please answer the phone.

What should we do? Do you want to go around one more time?

Did something happen with your sister?

That man was...

Dude.

Who are you? What are you doing here again?

Mr. Shin...

Hi.

- You know this guy? - Yeah.

You do? Oh, I didn't know that.

I'll leave you two alone.

Is Soon Shin okay?

Is she home now?

No, she's not home.

After she heard the news, she ran away.

Where? Do you know?

Does she even have a place to go?

- Um... - Is there somewhere she might go?

We'll find Soon Shin.

Please, Mr. Shin. Don't make things worse than they are now.

My family is going through hard times. I'm begging you.

I really want you to let my sister go.

Mom.

Did you bring her back?

No. I couldn't find her.

What should we do, Mom?

She will come back.

She probably needs some time to think.

Let's wait until she makes up her mind.

She's going to be fine, isn't she? She can overcome this, right?

She will come back. I raised her to be a strong girl.

I knew she had some secrets.

She must be going through tough times. She looks so pale now.

Are you taking her side now?

I wasn't good enough. If I had done better, she would've kept teaching me.

She abandoned you!

She abandoned you!

Wait, Soon Shin.

Yes?

When is your birthday?

Pardon?

My birthday?

You said you were born and raised in my neighborhood, right?

Why do you ask?

I'm sorry. Teacher is sick now.

Call back later.

I'm sorry...

She's sick now.

Just turn off the phone.

Did the reporters leave yet?

They are still in front of the house.

I think it'll be hard to even get out for a few days.

Book the hospital room now.

Pardon?

Book the hospital room and call an ambulance.

Tell reporters that I passed out. Let's get out of here.

Okay, I will.

- You must be really shocked. - What do you mean? Why?

About Teacher Song Mi Ryung. You know about this, didn't you?

What are you talking about now?

You don't know yet? She had the press conference today.

She has a daughter.

What?

Mr. Hwang.

What happened? She collapsed again?

It must've been traumatic for her.

You're here, Yeon Ah.

Why didn't you tell me about this?

I didn't know you were going through tough times.

I'm sorry I didn't tell you earlier.

I didn't know you were going through a lot of distress. I was kind of mad at you.

Mom, you're okay, right?

You really are okay, right?

I'm okay.

The media will get better so cheer up.

Thank you.

I called every reporter I know and told them to write good things about you. So don't worry.

The person you are trying to reach is current unavailable...

Soon Shin, it's Mom.

Where are you?

Please give me a call.

I'll be waiting.

Hello?

Chan Mi, I'm sorry I called you so early.

Did Soon Shin come see you?

Soon Shin? No.

She didn't come home last night?

No, no. Please let me know if she calls you.

Sure, I will.

Who was it this early in the morning?

Mom, Soon Shin didn't come home last night.

It was Mrs. Lee. She was looking for Soon Shin.

Oh my God...

- She finally found out everything. - Found out what?

- It probably was traumatic. - What are you talking about?

She's probably going crazy. She finally found out her mother isn't a real mother.

Honey!

What are you talking about? Mrs. Lee isn't Soon Shin's mother?

What are you talking about?

What are you talking about, Mom?

Chan Woo, she's saying something weird.

Something weird?

Let's just tell them everything, honey. It's no longer a secret anyway.

- Didn't you watch the press conference yesterday? - Press conference?

Yeah. Song Mi Ryung's press conference.

She revealed she has a daughter.

What? A daughter?

Why are you making so much food this morning?

You couldn't sleep last night.

I made some food that Soon Shin likes.

She probably wandered around for hours last night. I'm going to make her cheer up.

If she comes back home, don't say things that would hurt her feelings.

Just say positive things.

Mom!

Are you stupid, Mom?
