Park Joon-geum: Moon Boon-Hong

Quotes 

• Moon Boon-Hong : [phoning]  It's Mom. About that fireman you inquired after, do you still wish details about him?

  Kim Joo Won : Yes. What did you find out?

  Moon Boon-Hong : No, I knew of him before, but I was afraid of it upsetting you. You see... he passed away.

  Kim Joo Won : Why? Was it... because of me?

  Moon Boon-Hong : Hear me through, please. He was a widower firefighter... Gil Ik Sun, by name. He passed away leaving behind a daughter. You already know her: Gil Ra Im. She's probably before you right now, observing you.

  Choi 'Oska' Woo Young : [seeing the seriousness that's come over him]  What's wrong? Who's on the phone?

  Kim Joo Won : [ignoring Oska]  Please continue.

  Moon Boon-Hong : You'll know all this again when you recover your memories, but... that scheming girl used her father's death as an excuse to get close to you. To make you cling dearly to her, she used her dead father to ensnare your sympathies and lock you in tight with guilt. Oh, son, I pray even now your sense of family duty will someday be enough to see through her scheme, Kim Joo Won.

• Moon Boon-Hong : Upon hearing that you got all your memories back, your mom was so happy.

  Kim Joo Won : Really? ARE you happy? You're not running scared?

  Moon Boon-Hong : [hiding her sudden alarm]  No... because I trust in my son.

  Kim Joo Won : I also trusted in my mother, but we both know she's been very atrocious lately. While you've been scrupulously unjust towards that girl and towards me, most of all you've been unjust towards yourself. How could you tell me such a boldfaced, injurious lie?

  Moon Boon-Hong : So what should that lie matter? She wouldn't stop taking away my son - she left me with no choice?

  Kim Joo Won : You're wrong. Although your reasons weren't always in the right, in all previously misguided actions, you more or less always maintained your dignity, and I could respect you for that; but, mother, in this last situation, you threw away that dignity, along with your son.

  Moon Boon-Hong : Kim Joo Won...

  Kim Joo Won : So from now on, I don't plan on living as a mother's son.

  Moon Boon-Hong : KIM JOO WON!

  Kim Joo Won : I'm really sorry, mother, but I've lived as your son for thirty-four years; now, for the rest of my life, I will live only as that woman's husband.
