Secret behind Mi-jo’s biological parent in Thirty-Nine

Mi-jo has always been curious about her biological parents in Thirty-Nine. In fact, her search for her biological mother led her to Joo-hee’s mother’s restaurant. She also meets Chan-young on the way to the restaurant and the three become extremely close over time.

Chan-young’s wish now is to ensure that Mi-jo finds her biological parent. It must be noted here that Mi-jo's panic attack might be connected to her biological parents.

In an attempt to find Mi-jo's parents, Chan-young enquires about Mi-jo’s admission at the orphanage that she grew up in. In addition to the information regarding Siolim Snacks — Joo-hee’s restaurant — she learns that Mi-jo’s mother had been an employee of the restaurant. Towards the end of the episode, Mi-jo meets Joo-hee’s mother. She informs her of the claims made by the orphanage as they walk hand-in-hand.

Mi-jo expects Joo-hee’s mother to laugh off the claims. Instead, she is shocked to see this woman in tears. Joo-hee’s mother apologizes, and before she is able to explain why, the episode closes to an end.

Unbeknown to her in the K-drama, Mi-jo’s biological mother is a convict who is currently incarcerated. She is also blackmailing her adoptive parents for money. It will be interesting to see how Mi-jo and Chan-young deal with these challenges in the upcoming episode.
