Sea of the Woman (그 여자의 바다)

Taesan Noodles.

Do you have something?

Yes. In April of 1973,

Yoon Soo In went to a clinic...

where she was recorded to be four weeks pregnant.

Is that true?

Yes, and in December of the same year, she had a son at...

Somang Hospital in Seoul.

Okay, thank you.

Mr. Choi.

Sorry, but where's your sister?

My sister?

She went to a fabric store in Dongdaemun.

Did she?

Why would you want to see my sister?

What's this about?

Never mind.

What was that?

Try and hit it.

Ji Hoon.

Mister.

Hello.

We met just once. Do you remember me?

Yes.

Good boy. You're so smart.

Yes.

- Did you have lunch? - Yes.

- Do you listen to your mom? - Yes.

Why are you here?

I wanted to see you.

- You're back. - Yes.

Soo In.

Mr. Choi from Taesan Noodles was here.

- Mr. Choi? - Yes.

He asked for you.

Why would he want to see you?

He's engaged to Se Young.

Se Young and him both.

Is there something between you three...

that I don't know about?

No, there isn't.

I'm sure he was just passing by.

- Ji Hoon. - Yes, Grandma.

The man you saw outside the house.

Did you meet him before?

Yes.

When?

When Mom and I were on the way to see Auntie.

Really?

Yes. He's really nice.

What's that?

Does it look like me?

Let me see. It doesn't look like you at all.

Not even a great painter...

could put your beauty on paper.

Who drew that? Some kid?

Soo In's son. They visited us yesterday.

Soo In's son?

Soo In as in Ms. Yoon?

She has a son?

Yes.

You didn't know, did you?

Please don't tell anyone else.

- Why not? - Well...

Soo In got married in Seoul but her husband died.

She's living alone with her son now...

and nothing good will come from the gossip.

When did she get married?

As soon as she arrived in Seoul.

I feel so sorry for her, having to live without a husband.

So I was right. I wasn't mistaken.

You never know what a person's like.

But then, that means Ms. Yoon...

was pregnant at the time.

Who did she marry in Seoul?

- How strange. - Man Pyo.

What did you say just now?

What did I say?

You talked about Ms. Yoon being pregnant.

What's that about?

Oh, now, you see...

Se Young. Se Young.

Will you please knock?

Don't you think of lying today.

I wanted to go straight to Mr. Choi,

but I came to you first.

What's this about?

Do you know who fathered Soo In's child?

It must be her husband.

Do you really not know?

Why are you like this all of a sudden?

Your uncle told me everything just now.

Soo In's son is also Mr. Choi's.

Mom.

Is that true? Is it?

My goodness... How...

Then...

Do you still want to marry him knowing all that?

How could this be?

The reason you're rushing the wedding...

and threatening to leave home.

Was it because of that?

Because of Mr. Choi and that kid?

Yes. What else am I to do?

What if Jeong Wook finds out and goes back to Soo In?

What am I to do then?

Have you lost your mind?

Even though you love Jeong Wook that much,

how can you still want to marry the man knowing that...

he has a child with Soo In?

Mom, please. Please pretend you don't know.

Please turn a blind eye to it.

No, I can't.

You can't marry him.

Where are you going?

Let go.

You can't get married.

I can't forgive Jeong Wook.

I'm going to tell him the wedding's off.

No, Mom. You can't do that.

He doesn't know.

He doesn't know Soo In has a kid or that it's his.

Don't say anything, Mom.

Please don't.

Se Young!

Mom, please.

It'll end when we get married.

Soo In said she'd never appear near us.

It's all up to you now.

Please, Mom.

I can do anything else for you,

but not this. I can't accept this!

Please, please, Mom.

If I don't get to marry Jeong Wook,

I really can't live.

I can't live.

Mom, please.

Please...

Mom.

Is Jeong Wook not in?

He hasn't come home yet.

Where is he?

Dad, isn't he late because he has work to do?

He told Ms. Kim that he'd visit a buyer.

He didn't have to today.

I wonder where he is.

I'm sure it's nothing serious.

Maybe he has something to do.

Did you two fight over something again?

No, we didn't.

Jeong Wook would never disappear without a word.

Is his family having troubles again?

Give them a call, Se Young.

Okay, I will.

You look smart. What's your name?

Ji Hoon.

I can't believe it. That boy is mine.

He's my son.

About what Dae Bong said yesterday.

That Se Young and Mr. Choi will get married soon.

I thought about whether or not...

I should bring this up.

I thought I should before they get married.

What is it you want to say?

I think that...

you, Ji Hoon, and Mr. Choi, the three of you...

should consider becoming a family.

I'm sorry, Soo In.

I know that Mr. Choi is Ji Hoon's father.

He isn't married yet, so...

No. That's preposterous.

Well,

when you and Mr. Choi broke up,

was Mr. Choi aware that you were pregnant?

Did he still leave you?

No. He didn't know.

Why didn't you tell him?

Why did you break up knowing you were carrying his child?

When I found out I was pregnant,

he'd already turned against me because of the embezzlement charges.

I thought it was over between us...

and went to the clinic for an abortion.

I couldn't go through with it.

I was too scared.

Around that time, I heard Jeong Wook and Se Young were engaged.

He'd left me...

and gotten engaged to Se Young.

I thought I shouldn't use a baby to hold him back.

I thought I should disappear...

and live in hiding with the baby.

I thought that would be the best for everyone.

I see.

I understand how you must have felt then.

How dismal you must've felt.

But if...

If Mr. Choi knows he has a son...

If he knows Ji Hoon is his son,

might he not give up marrying Se Young...

and come back to you?

What about Se Young, then?
