Cha Yu-Ri, in the 12th episode of "Hi Bye, Mama," described Jo Kang-Hwa as someone who dislikes eating spicy foods. Things changed, however, when he married Oh Min-Jeong. He became more considerate and approved Min-Jeong's favorite dish.
After Yu-Ri's death, Kang-Hwa shut himself off from the outside world. He was in a state of depression and grief. By the time he met Min-Jeong, he started to go out, courted her and bought her flowers.
For the past five years, Seo Woo recognizes Yu-Ri's face. She mentioned her name to Kang-Hwa while showing a sticker of a girl, allthough she still doesn't know that Yu-Ri is her real mother. Seo Woo grew up seeing ghosts and human beings alike. Kang-Hwa asked Yu-Ri if she wanted to tell Seo Woo who she is, but she said no. Kang-Hwa got more confused by Yu-Ri's decision. He felt that Yu-Ri has reasons she would never tell him.
On her way home, Yu-Ri met an exorcist. He told Yu-Ri that he came for Seo Woo. Luckily, Dong Daek (also a shaman) came and rescued her. Inside Dong Daek's house, Yu-Ri further asked who the exorcist man was. Dong Daek shared that he is one of the shamans who picks up wandering ghosts on earth. He looked for Seo Woo since she has the ability and potential to be a shaman in the future. Yu-Ri frantically disagreed and told him she will protect her daughter at all cost.
The following day, Kang-Hwa brought Seo Woo to Yu-Ri's house. Yu-Ri happily introduced Seo Woo to her grandparents and aunt. They spent the whole afternoon together. Kang-Hwa told Min-Jeong that he was going to Hyun-Jung's house and let Seo Woo play with their son.
Kang-Hwa told Geun-Sang to inform his wife to pretend they would go out together if Min-Jeong asked, but Min-Jeong bumped into Hyun-Jung with her son alone outside the grocery store. She remembered that Kang-Hwa's permission that Seo Woo will spend the day with Hyun-Jung's son. Min-Jeong went home still bothered where Kang-Hwa went and why she lied to her.
Kang-Hwa confided with his good friends Hyun-Jung and Geun-Sang later that night. He is confused and concerned about Yu-Ri. He asked Hyun-Jung if she knows anything, but the couple never said anything about Yu-Ri. Kang-Hwa wanted to know Yu-Ri's plan and why she didn't want to let Seo Woo or Min-Jeong know about her.
Yu-Ri's parents enjoyed taking good care of Seo Woo. Everyone was very happy. Mo Poong (Yu-Ri's father) played with his grandson. Eun Suk (Yu-Ri's mother) carried Seo Woo with her while Yu-Ri's sister made funny sounds. It was a very memorable night for Seo Woo and Yu-Ri's family.
On his way home with Seo Woo, the exorcist called Seo Woo's name. Hearing the voice, Seo Woo ran towards the man. Before he made any move, Kang-Hwa reached out for Seo Woo. He angrily asked the exorcist what he wanted, or why he knew his daughter. The man told Kang-Hwa that he came for Seo Woo and told him he knows Yu-Ri. The man went on and revealed that Yu-Ri is a ghost for the past five years.
Kang-Hwa went to see Yu-Ri and asked if these were all true. He asked if Yu-Ri stayed with them for the past five years and watched over her family. Unable to say a word, Yu-Ri cried ceaselessly.
