Momo promised she'd raise my baby well.

We were as close as sisters.

It's Mommy.

Thank you for taking such good care of the baby.

Thank you so much.

You poor thing. You kept saying you felt dizzy.

How could this happen?

The poor thing.

At least he got to see his mother's face...

Don't worry.

- Hello? - Ba Ra...

passed away at dawn.

There won't be a funeral before the burial.

Is her granddaughter really moving in next week?

Yes. I spoke with her on the phone.

I think I'm going to miss him.

You should come and visit sometime.

I'll text you the address.

- Would that be okay? - Of course.

Thank you. I know she was grateful too.

It was nothing.

Ba Ra asked me to.

- I've been paid more than enough. - Please, I insist.

Goodness.

You should go back in. The grandmother is all by herself.

Right.

She's not just a pretty face, but an angel.

Ba Ra.

How could you leave me...

and just go like that?

How could you?

That looked like Geum Ba Ra, the reporter.

Well, I can just check.

The number you have dialed is not in service.

Please check the number and dial again.

The number you have dialed is not in service.

- Please check the number and dial again. - I'm heading out.

Okay.

Was she in a car accident or something?

Shouldn't the baby see his mother off?

Be sure to burp him and lay him down gently on his side.

He sometimes spits up, even after burping.

Got it.

- Yes... - The press will be there,

so I think we should go together.

I'm downstairs.

Seatbelt.

She was in the prime of her life.

What's wrong?

Book us a table at the Ria Hotel buffet. For just us two.

No. You know what will happen if you overeat.

Don't worry. I will just eat in moderation.

You think you can restrain yourself in front of a feast?

I can if I have to.

I can do anything...

for my health.

We cleanse ourselves of worldly dust and attachments.

We pray to the sky and the earth.

From the Muryangsa Temple

Here in this world of suffering

In Seodaemun District, Seoul, South Korea,

In this pure sanctuary of Suwol

At the request of the humble devotee Ha Jae In

We pray for the spirit of the dearly departed Geum Ba Ra

For the spirit of the dearly departed Geum Ba Ra

For the spirit of the dearly departed Geum Ba Ra

May she attain rebirth in paradise...

Let go...

of all earthly attachments...

and depart in peace.

Thank you.

Drive safe. I'll treat you to a meal sometime soon.

Sure.

She's really changed, that Momo.

Such a waste of a pretty face and a sharp mind.

She must have studied so incredibly hard.

And she never even had one proper tutoring session.

If she had married me,

she wouldn't have died.

Life and death are up to fate. Her time was just up.

Goodness.

Did my little one burp?

You're so adorable.

Your Daddy...

cried so much today.

Thank you.

I hope you find peace...

wherever you are.

I'd like to pour you a drink.

You've been through so much.

You're the one who has.

Thank you so much.

Just take a sip.

When are you going to tell Yong Joong?

- You're not going to tell him? - No.

Why?

They already decided to go their separate ways.

Then why did you ask me for the surgery?

Just because.

I'm a better fit for Momo than Jin Ju is.

That's the only reason?

Yong Joong is having such a hard time.

Are you punishing him?

I'll explain everything to him.

It's not the right thing to do.

We're way past doing the right thing.

He and Momo just had a falling out.

Saying it's me would just confuse him.

He'd have to force his feelings all over again.

It's up to you.

I feel bad for Jin Ju.

- Isn't there some way I can repay her? - Of course there is.

You'll be a fine replacement.

I'm just kidding.

I had a baby.

A son.

Did they move?

Hello.

- Who is that? - Excuse me?

It's...

Ba Ra's baby.

What brings you here?

- Excuse me? - Security didn't alert me.

How did you get in here?

Wait, is that my key?

You don't remember giving it to me?

Momo gave it to you?

Who are you?

Are you playing dumb?

The key...

Did you get it from Momo?

Give me the key and leave.

Call security.

Who was that?

Are you on a trip? Aren't you worried about your old man?

I had surgery for stomach cancer.

To get away from her father, Jin Ju used me...

That little...

She swapped bodies with Geum Ba Ra.

Is the owner of this house...

still not out of the hospital yet?

- Who are you? - She's friends with my daughter.

But you haven't heard?

She passed away a little while ago.

- In a car accident? - No.

Apparently, something went wrong with her brain surgery.

I can't believe it either.

Kim Jin Ju.

Stabbing me in the back until the very end...

Evil can never triumph over good.

Even a single ray of light can illuminate the darkness.

But no matter how much you try to shroud the light in darkness,

you can never blot it out.

I'm not sure...

how I'm supposed to address you.

The shelf collapsed, and a diary accidentally fell open.

The name...

Hyun Ran Hee, Momo's mother, caught my eye.

Let me get straight to the point.

The long-lost daughter you've been searching for...

is me,

Geum Ba Ra.

In one of the album photos,

I saw a woman who I thought looked a lot like me...

and could've been an aunt.

On the off-chance, I found a toothbrush, a comb, and some hair,

and I sent them for a DNA test.

It came back as a match.

I couldn't believe it, so I checked again and again.

Seeing the undeniable result, I burst into tears.

Father.

Dad.

"Dad."

It's something...

I've missed and desperately longed to say.

So please...

don't blame yourself anymore.

I had a baby,

a son.

I ate the sea bream seaweed soup that you made...

with tears of joy.

And thanks to you, I've recovered well from childbirth.

I'm so relieved and happy...

to know who my mother...

and father were...

before I leave.

I have no regrets.

Please forgive me...

for leaving without seeing you...

or giving you one last hug.

Please, try to accept this.

Still, we met a few times, so we'll always have those memories.

Knowing that you're my father,

I'm so happy.

So very happy.

Looking at your paintings,

my heart and my soul...

were filled with tears of love.
