Hi Bye, Mama! - Slice Of life, episode 11 recap

Hi Bye, Mama! 

The share of life given to me, episode 11 recap

[Flashback in the year 2015]

When Yu-ri was still pregnant with Seo Woo she offers Gang Hwa one wish that she's willing to grant before she gives birth and Gang Hwa looks excited about it but he only asks for a simple request for Yu-ri to pick him up from work with an umbrella whenever it rains because Gang Hwa said that his mom is too busy working to pick him up at school when he was young that's why he wants to experience it even now that he's already an adult.

Yu-ri agrees thinking that it's just an easy task and she could do it but when it rained, she made excuses so she wouldn't have to pick Gang Hwa from work because her body seemed heavier that day and she's too lazy to go out while it rains outside.

Gang Hwa just smiled when he reads Yu-ri's excuses as if he already expected them from her, he ran in the rain with his bag over his head and came home drenched and Yu-ri fusses at him as he entered the house 

"Back then, each day arrived so naturally that I thought it was obvious the next day would arrive" Yu-ri narrates as she waits for Gang Hwa at the bus stop while it rains but she couldn't do anything for him anymore because she is now a ghost so she just painfully watch poor Gang Hwa go home as he walks slowly with heavy steps towards home.

"If I had known that the next day wouldn't arrive ever again, I wouldn't have let each precious day just pass by idly." Yu-ri continues.

Back to the present

Yu-ri jumps in front of a fast-moving motorcycle and successfully save the elderly woman from getting crashed, the motorcycle guy turned the motorcycle and he got thrown to the ground. At the hospital, the doctors and nurses prioritize the man in the motorcycle but Yu-ri kept on asking them to check the elderly woman but they told her that the elderly woman was just shocked but Yu-ri can see the elderly woman's soul is slowly leaving the woman's body. Gang Hwa arrived and he immediately checked Yu-ri and he breathes a sigh of relief when he confirmed that Yu-ri is fine, Yu-ri immediately asked Gang Hwa to check the woman but just like the other doctor Gang Hwa doesn't see anything wrong with the woman but Yu-ri still insisted to check the woman and Gang Hwa gave in to Yu-ri's request and he immediately called the nurses when he checked the woman and there's really something wrong and Gang Hwa wonders how Yu-ri knew when it isn't noticeable especially to someone who doesn't work in the field of medicine and Yu-ri just told him that it was jus all her intuition.

Before Yu-ri leaves, Gang Hwa told her to drink honey water for her hangover and Yu-ri remembers that Gang Hwa used to prepare honey water for her every time she has a hangover, and she just softly smiles at Gang Hwa and reassures him that she's fine but Gang Hwa still feels guilty about leaving her with Hyun Jung that night as he brings Min Jung home.

Meanwhile, Ms. Mi-dong has an unwanted visitor, was the famous exorcist with the eight ball cane, the ghosts watch from a distance and gossip over Ms. Mi-dong's visitor but when Hye Jin recognize who it was they tremble upon hearing that Ms. Mi-dpng's visitor is the exorcist with the most success rate in sending ghosts to the afterlife.

Guk Bong told MS. Mi-dong that he will take care of the ghosts at the columbarium for her because she has the lowest success rate and he also asks Ms.Mi-dong what are her plans on Yu-ri and Seo Woo... Ms. Mi-dong assured him that she will take care of it but Guk Bong doesn't seem convinced.

Ms, Mi-dong stands in front of Yu-ri's urn as Yu-ri's face flashback on her when she told her that Seo Woo might become a shaman-like her, she asks above just what is the reason why they let Yu-ri live again because she believes that there's a reason behind it she just doesn't know what it is yet.

Hyun Jung is deep in her thoughts about Yu-ri's situation when Yu-ri's mom passes by, she was startled to see her but quickly recovers and offer her a cup of coffee inside, Hyun Jung told Yu-ri's mom that it's been a while since Yu-ri's mom went to the bar because ever since Yu-ri died, she's been avoiding Gang Hwa and Yu-ri's mom admitted it but she also doesn't want to go there afraid that Yu-ri's memories will hunt her but everything's okay now that Yu-ri is back. 

Yu-ri's mom also mentions Yu-ri's job at the daycare and how Yu-ri couldn't talk about Seo Woo and Hyun Jung ask her if it's okay with her that Yu-ri is now replaced at Gang Hwa and Seo Woo's life and Yu-ri's mom told her that she feels satisfied with Yu-ri being around and she wouldn't ask for more and could already die without any regrets.

Yu-ri suddenly pops up and interrupt Hyun Jung and her mom worried that Hyun Jung would tell her mom about her secret but her mom still looks clueless about her true situation, to make sure that Hyun Jung wouldn't say anything she quickly asked her mom to cook her something at home so they could already leave.

Dr. Jang is still curious as to why Gang Hwa suddenly change from being stubborn to finally receive treatment, he asked Gang Hwa why he didn't sign the petition to restrict VIP priority at the hospital when he was the one who started it in the first place but Gang Hwa wouldn't say anything to him, they were interrupted by Geun Sang who arrived a little late to warn Gang Hwa about Dr. Jang who's already there.

Gang Hwa stares at the petition paper when Dr. Jang leaves.

Going home from work, Yeon-Ji saw a dress displayed at a store that reminds her of Yu-ri not knowing that Yu-ri also bought the same dress and is planning to give it to her, she leaves the paper bag at Yu-ri's desk and got confused when she saw the same paper bag at her desk. They both go out from their rooms holding the same dress and they just laugh at their silliness.

[flashback ]

Yeon-Ji and Yu-ri used to fight a lot when they were younger, they fight over the smallest things just like dresses, in a flashback, Yu-ri and Yeon-Ji are holding each other's dresses while holding the scissor, on the other hand, threatening to ruin each other's dress...

And jump to when Yeon-Ji is seen crying inside a room holding a dress that turns out to be Yu-ri's while ghost Yu-ri painfully watches her and desperately wants to comfort her and told her to stop crying.

Yu-ri's dad couldn't still believe that Yu-ri is really back. He went to Yu-ri's room while she's sleeping and quietly cries as he stroke her head while she's asleep. Yu-ri felt her dad's presence and woke up just to see him cry, Yu-ri quickly gets up and gave him a hug that made them both break into tears.

"I told him not to cry in front of her" Yu-ri's mom said as she and Yeon-Ji watches the two outside Yu-ri's door.

Hyun Jung meets with Ms. Mi-dong at a cafe, Ms. Mi-dong stutters as she responds to Hyun Jung because she looks scary as she interrogates Ms. Mi-dong. Hyun Jung is eager to know Yu-ri's real situation, she wanted to confirm if Yu-ri could really live again if she takes her life back, she also suggests that Yu-ri also belongs with her family and maybe it could be considered instead of being Gang Hwa's wife again but Ms. Mi-dong couldn't give her answers because she's looking for answers too. 

Hyun Jung was desperate to find answers but they were interrupted by Geun Sang outside the cafe, Ms. Mi-dong was shocked upon seeing Sang Bong lingering behind Geun Sang.

She grabbed Sang Bong in the ear and drag him back to the Columbarium and saw the exorcist there as he looks at the urns as if he's searching for his next target. He stopped at Hye Jin and told her that she's the first that should go because she killed herself but the other ghosts throw Sang Bong and said that Sang Bong killed himself too

But Guk Bong said that Sang Bong didn't commit suicide and his death is the most wrongful and cruel one...

Outside the daycare, the other mothers approached Yu-ri as they gossip about Seo Woo, they ask Yu-ri if she also noticed how slow Seo Woo because they know that Yu-ri spends time with her as a pick-up helper but Yu-ri told them that Seo Woo may be slow but she knew other kids who's slower and the other mothers lean to her as she whispers each of their kids before turning her back at them and heads inside the daycare.

The gossip that started from the other mothers has already reached the children, one of the kids shares the secret that she overheard from her parents that Seo Woo's mom is abandoning her and it made Yu-ri furious. The other mothers also sent the gossip about Min Jung's divorce on the wrong group chat where everyone could see it including Hyun Jung and Min Jung.

After reading the gossip about her, Min Jung remembers what Yu-ri told her before that she shouldn't stay quiet all the time and she should stand up for herself, she immediately went to Hyun Jung's bar and found Yu-ri and Hyun Jung who's as livid as her.

Wearing badass outfits and glasses, the three is ready to enter a war with other mothers. Hyun Jung is furious as she declares war on the other mothers as she speaks to Geun Sang over the phone, Geun Sang groans because Hyun Jung is getting in trouble again, and Gang Hwa is trying to make fun of him but Geun Sang told him that he has two problems because Min Jung and Yu-ri is with Hyun Jung.

They found the three mothers at the kid's cafe and gave them the beating they deserve

Gang Hwa and Geun Sang recall how Yu-ri and Hyun Jung first met. They met in front of a newsstand fighting over the last copy of the latest magazine, Yu-ri was a H.O.T. fan while Hyun Jung is Sechs Kies fan.

And while the two are busy fighting, Min Jung quietly arrives and grabs the last copy that Hyun Jung and Yu-ri are fighting over...

The waiter looks confused watching three strange women with messy hair laugh without apparent reason, Min Jung was overjoyed with how their revenge turned out and asked Hyun Jung and Yu-ri if they practiced fighting because they're too good at it and the two proudly told Min Jung that that's how they become friends, after fighting when they first met.

Hyun Jung excused herself to get some fresh air, she glances at the wrong sent message in the group chat and watches Yu-ri and Min Jung in the window laughing together and it somehow makes her feel sad. Hyun Jung went back inside and Yu-ri takes her turn to go to the restroom and Hyun Jung takes the opportunity to ask Min Jung if she is really having a divorce, Min Jung admitted that she once consider having a divorce because when she married Gang Hwa, she thought that it would be okay as long as she gives her best but she later realizes that there's a door in Gang Hwa's heart that she could never open and she feels like she's fixing a home after a huge bombing instead of building one but she couldn't continue with the divorce because she loves Gang Hwa too much.

While the ladies are out drinking, Gang Hwa is babysitting Seo Woo, they are busy playing with stickers when Seo Woo pick a sticker with a girl on it and put it on their family picture...

And when Gang Hwa asks who it is, Seo Woo answered "Cha Yu-ri..."
