[Asia Economy Reporter Kang Hyesoo] On the 21st, tvN's 'Hi Bye, Mama!' aired a scene where Cha Yuri tearfully reunites with her mother, father, and younger sibling.

That day, 'Hi Bye, Mama!' began with a flashback to 2013. Cha Yuri (played by Kim Taehee), who was following Jo Ganghwa (played by Lee Kyu-hyung) as he got off the village bus, sent him a text message. "The groom's land is sinking in several places. Watch your step. Or do you want to walk backward?" After reading the message and turning around, Jo Ganghwa said, "What? Since when were you there?" and smiled brightly at Cha Yuri.

After Cha Yuri's death, Jo Ganghwa falls into despair and drinks heavily, which makes Cha Yuri despair because she cannot take care of him. One day, when Jo Ganghwa was still drinking alone, Oh Minjeong (played by Go Bo-gyeol) suddenly appears and sits in front of him, saying, "It's a bit awkward for a woman to eat alone." She orders two bowls of noodles and says, "Won't you eat with me, senior?" When Jo Ganghwa says he won't eat, she insists, "Both are mine."

Oh Minjeong starts eating both bowls placed in front of her. Seeing this, Jo Ganghwa's expression brightens a little.

Cha Yuri collapses on the street, crying out, "Sister, I just want Ganghwa not to cry." Go Hyunjeong (played by Shin Dong-mi) comforts Cha Yuri by holding her. While they console each other, Yuri's mother Jeon Eunsook, who happens to be passing by, discovers Yuri and approaches her. Surprised by Yuri's mother, Go Hyunjeong is speechless, and Yuri turns her head to look at Jeon Eunsook and says, "Mom." Jeon Eunsook is so shocked that she collapses to the ground.

Meanwhile, at the temple, the monk advises Jeon Eunsook, "Parents also have a three-year mourning period, Bodhisattva. I think it's time to let her go." To this, Jeon Eunsook replies, "There is still so much I can do for her. Is letting her go all I can do now, monk?" The monk responds, "Death is the natural order." Then Jeon Eunsook says emotionally, "My heart still melts when I think about it, but I miss her. Just once, really just once, I want to see my daughter so much."

Yuri and Hyunjeong take the collapsed Jeon Eunsook to the hospital, and Gye Geunsang (played by Oh Eui-sik) reassures them that she is okay. Jo Ganghwa arrives late at the hospital and orders more tests. Then Jeon Eunsook wakes up and tells Jo Ganghwa she is fine. She starts to say, "I saw something, you know..." but then looks at Cha Yuri again. When Jeon Eunsook asks, "Is this really my daughter?" Cha Yuri sobs and runs to her, saying, "Mom." Only then does Jeon Eunsook embrace Cha Yuri and cry out, "Oh my, this is really my daughter."

Then Yuri's father Cha Mupung and younger sister Cha Yeonji (played by Kim Misu) also come to the hospital, and the four family members finally reunite.

Seeing Cha Yuri meet her family, Go Hyunjeong drives home with Gye Geunsang. Geunsang says, "You should have done this earlier. You were going to hide it forever anyway since you were going to find out," but he notices Hyunjeong sobbing while driving. Geunsang presses her about what happened with Yuri, and Hyunjeong tearfully says Yuri said she wouldn't return to her seat.

Back at her parents' home with her family, Cha Yuri looks bitterly at the baby items collected on the shelf. Then, seeing her mother looking for her, she pouts, "I want to eat gosari (bracken)," and her mother smiles, saying, "I'll make it for you right away."

At the daycare, Cha Yuri greets Oh Minjeong and Seo Woo. Oh Minjeong says, "I'll come around dinner time, so see you then," and tries to leave, but Yuri asks her to wait a moment and brings two cans of coffee, offering one to Oh Minjeong. She says, "One is no fun, right?" When Oh Minjeong says, "I only drink Americano," Yuri pretends to know and says, "No, I drink this," but when Oh Minjeong looks at her curiously, Yuri makes a vague excuse.

After leaving the daycare and on her way to run errands, Oh Minjeong overhears daycare mothers saying, "Seo Woo and that aunt (=Cha Yuri) look a bit alike," and "Both have big eyes, strangely similar," which makes her somewhat suspicious.

While walking, Oh Minjeong unexpectedly meets Go Hyunjeong. Hyunjeong sincerely says, "I hope things go well" to Oh Minjeong, who is preparing to return to work. Oh Minjeong asks if Hyunjeong is close to Cha Yuri and says, "I decided to help with Seo Woo's after-school care, so I was curious... Seo Woo was also very close to her birth mother, right? They just look very alike."

On the way home with Seo Woo, Cha Yuri buys and eats fish-shaped bread. When Seo Woo recognizes the ghost beside her, Yuri despairs. She also grows exhausted as she receives a series of texts from Oh Minjeong urging her to send Seo Woo to English and piano academies.

In the evening, Cha Yuri hands Seo Woo over to Oh Minjeong. As Yuri turns to leave, Oh Minjeong says, "Do you want to at least take a look around the house?" which makes Yuri happy. At Oh Minjeong and Jo Ganghwa's house, Yuri awkwardly greets Jo Ganghwa, who just got off work. She then searches for the earthbound spirit but ultimately cannot find it.

Oh Minjeong and Seo Woo go out to greet Cha Yuri. Oh Minjeong says, "Tomorrow is a play day at daycare, so please play with her at the playground." She also says, "I think Seo Woo likes you more than me. Thank you for caring for Seo Woo," which confuses Cha Yuri. Then she remembers she left the egg gift Seo Woo gave her earlier and goes back home.

Back at the house, Oh Minjeong, Seo Woo, and Cha Yuri find Jo Ganghwa eating Seo Woo's eggs. Seeing Jo Ganghwa, Cha Yuri shouts, "Hey!!" startled by which Oh Minjeong looks at Cha Yuri in surprise.
