May 5, the 3rd episode of the SBS weekend drama "The Secret of Birth" featured two friends, Jung Yi Hyun (Sung Yoo Ri) and Lee Sun Young (Lee Jin) relying on each other like family.
Jung Yi Hyun and Lee Sun Young had been best friends since they were young girls. However, when Jung Yi Hyun reappears after being gone for a year, Lee Sun Young is completely shocked. It turns out that Lee Sun Young had made 2 mistakes in the past that affected Jung Yi Hyun. In the meantime, Lee Sun Young had married Jung Yi Hyun's cousin Choi Ki Tae (Han Sang Jin).
Lee Sun Young tries to apologize to Jung Yi Hyun but realizes that she does not remember anything that happened. Instead, Lee Sun Young shows her life with the in-laws to Jung Yi Hyun and tells her, "I'm not happy here. This is hell. Please remember all of this. If you start remembering everything from the past, please pity me."
Jung Yi Hyun figures out that Lee Sun Young had done something wrong to her but holds her friend tightly.
