I'm really glad to have met
a man who could fill up my life
Someone who's become my better half...
Are you that happy?
A woman definitely needs to have love.
I've been getting so much love
that I can't help but sing.
I'm really glad to have met
my better half, my Sangryeol!
Geez.
What will I do?
I might set the date soon.
What date?
Even if we don't get married right away,
but we want to have an engagement party.
What? An engagement party?
Are you insane?
You only just met!
It's not like we're getting any younger.
We need to get hitched quickly
so we can live happily ever after.
Still, you should give this more thought.
You only went on 2 dates with him.
2 dates?
That's not true!
I thought you'd be jealous, so I didn't tell you,
but we've actually gone on 5 dates.
Hey! That's not much better.
I never get tired of him!
Ji Sangryeol!
Love breaks down all boundaries in life.
He's so cute.
Hey! Snap out of it already.
He's either a player, or a conman. Got it?
No, he's not.
That must be Sangryeol.
You invited him over?
You never think!
Honey, honey! Darling, my darling!
Honey, come in.
Come in. Thank you for coming all this way.
Do you want something to drink?
Coffee or green tea?
Yes. Cold.
Okay.
What in the world are you thinking?
An engagement party?
Geez, baby doll. Is this jealousy I'm sensing?
If that's the case, when I told you I liked you,
you should've taken me
behind Ssangsun's back.
I even sent you this signal, remember?
What? Geez!
Who could that be?
Who is it?
Where is he?
You bastard!
- Honey! / - Honey?
It's you, isn't it?
Are you the one who seduced my husband?
It's you? It's you, isn't it?
Who are you?
Honey.
I just wanted to make a living...
It was to make a living, honey.
You need to eat.
I'm not hungry.
Byeongguk and I are both struggling,
you can't be like this right now.
Let's all eat together and cheer up.
Here.
Who is it?
Reporters.
I'm so embarrassed and humiliated.
I just can't live this way.
The reporters are everywhere.
I can't even step foot outside the front door.
What will we do?
Look at the mess Hwayeong brought upon us!
We had a reputation to uphold.
Geez.
Yes?
This is Kim Mi-ae from Wuseon Ilbo.
Please don't call me again.
How many times do I have to say it?
This is the next educational plan.
Great. Thanks.
By the way, how's it going?
It's going.
What do you plan to do?
Is it even possible for a surrogate mother
to win a custody battle in court?
No, that will never happen.
Jinwu's my flesh and blood. I raised him.
She may have given birth to him,
but she can never take him.
I just don't get her.
Are you sure she's not mentally ill?
Geez.
How could she tell the whole world
that she was a surrogate?
Has Tarzan...
Has Mr. Lee said anything about this?
He doesn't need to.
I'm sure he just wants this trial to end well.
Munsuk, I'm so sorry about all this.
What are you talking about?
I'm so grateful that you got me this job,
but I keep troubling you with my problems.
Honestly, I'm more worried about you.
I thought the hard part was over,
but it just never seems to end.
Stay strong.
You have me.
Whatever you don't get done at work,
I'll make up for you.
I'm so grateful.
Hello?
Is this Baek Yeonhui?
Yes. Speaking.
I'm Choi Sangdu.
- Enjoy. / - Thank you.
What is it?
Who wanted to see you?
I don't know him
but he said his name's Choi Sangdu.
He wanted to talk to me about Hwayeong.
About Hwayeong?
Hello.
Are you Choi Sangdu?
Yes.
Please have a seat.
I'm Yeonhui's attorney.
You mentioned Hwayeong,
so I came along.
What would you like to drink?
An Americano, please.
Two Americanos please.
Sure.
So you know Hwayeong pretty well?
Yes.
I know a lot about her past.
How did you get my contact information?
I've been watching you.
Thanks to that she-devil, Hwayeong,
I heard that you lost quite a bit.
I lost something very precious because of her.
I lost my leg
and my son, whom I never got to meet.
Your son?
Yes. The son I had with Hwayeong.
Hwayeong had your son?
She had another child besides Jinwu?
She tossed aside her own child
and now she wants her surrogate child
and she told the press about it.
Isn't it ridiculous?
If we can just find that child,
you may be able to stop her from suing.
So why did you want to see me?
You know John Wilson?
I went to visit him in jail.
So you were that listed visitor?
Hwayeong said that if I did her a favor,
she'd find me my child.
What was the favor?
She wanted me to tell
John Wilson to keep his promise.
Promise?
What's this?
It's the conversation I had
with Hwayeong after the visit.
John Wilson.
He won't betray her that easily.
If you visit him, let him listen to this.
It might change his mind.
I knew him briefly when I was in the States.
Since he knows I'm the CEO of HS Group,
he's trying to squeeze money out of me
to get a lawyer, that's all.
Do you think this will convince John Wilson?
We should try.
If he finds out that she used him,
his resolve could waver.
But I must warn you,
you should be wary of Choi Sangdu.
He may be fighting Hwayeong with us,
but he's the father of her child.
We never know when he might switch sides.
You're right.
But what I don't understand is
why Hwayeong abandon her child?
when she is so hung up on Jinwu?
Why won't she look for her own kid?
If what Sangdu says is true,
we should look in to that further.
What? Are you serious?
Yes!
It's all over the Internet.
My goodness...
Miranda, you've definitely grown older.
What?
That's why you're so behind on the news.
"A Surrogate Mother's Custody Battle."
Isn't President Lee Hwayeong
Chef Bae's niece?
She used to come here often.
Oh, my...
So our CEO's little boy?
Shh! Quiet, Sunnam!
Shouldn't you be working?
I need to talk to you, Michael.
What? Really?
Wait a second.
HS Group's CEO, Lee Hwayeong Makes Unbelievable Press Release
Why didn't I know about this?
At 4 weeks, the child...
What are you doing here?
Did you read the news articles?
This time, Hwayeong's really...
I'm sorry.
That's okay.
It's not your fault.
I didn't think she'd take things this far.
So, while I'm here before you,
I'd like to apologize again.
How are you feeling, by the way?
What?
You seem a bit nauseated lately.
I'm okay.
It's a stomach virus.
I'm sorry.
Thank you, my sweet little girl.
Close the door.
Ssangsun.
Straighten up so I can put this on your head.
I'm just going to let myself go
and just kill him!
No, I ought to...
I ought to break
every single bone in that jerk's body.
Just stop.
Just be happy that you didn't lose any money.
I'm so upset!
He's a married man!
How could be trick me like that?
I'm so angry!
What will I do?
Forget him.
For the first time in my life,
I felt like he really loved me.
That's not love at all.
Couldn't you tell?
You can't get engaged after only 5 dates.
From the second he started winking at me,
I already knew he was trouble.
Why didn't you tell me?
I did!
Why would a younger guy go for us?
I'm so upset!
Stop crying. You're so noisy.
Your bruise won't heal that way.
Stop crying.
Hey.
Who cares about the bruise on my face?
What about the bruise in my heart?
Ji Sangryeol, just you wait.
I won't forget that name until the day I die.
Ji Sangryeol! Just wait and see.
Chuja! Chuja!
It's Uncle Chansik.
Stop crying.
Have you seen the news on the Internet?
Sora.
I already know.
Hwayeong's came out on the news.
What? You knew?
What are you saying?
Why would Hwayeong be on the news?
Don't look.
What is it? What is it exactly?
Just show her.
She'll find out eventually.
Man.
HS Group's CEO, Lee Hwayeong Makes Unbelievable Press Release
- Chuja! / - Mom!
Your mom's home!
- Jinwu! / - Mom!
Did you have a good day today?
Yeah. I went to the playground with grandpa.
We even rode our bikes at the park.
That must have been fun.
Have some pear, mom.
It's delicious.
Very sweet.
Thanks for taking care of him, dad.
You don't need to thank me for that.
I'm just worried about Jinwu.
He says he misses his grandma.
I have something to tell you.
John Wilson?
Yes.
That's what Choi Sangdu said.
I'm going to go see him
with Myeongun tomorrow.
No. Let me go.
Myeongun said that
it'd be better if he took care of it
rather than if you stepped in.
And I agree with him.
At least until we get something substantive,
I think it's best we leave it up to Myeongun.
We've never met before, have we?
Are you a lawyer?
Yes. I represent Ms. Baek.
Meeting me won't do you any good.
Why did you even bother?
John Wilson.
Hwayeong is using you.
Using me?
Well...
I don't know about that
but this won't do you any good.
There's nothing that will change my mind.
What if she betrays you first?
If she betrays you,
would you still remain that confident?
I knew him briefly when I was in the States.
Since he knew I was HS Group's CEO,
he's trying to squeeze money out of me
to get a lawyer, that's all.
I had nothing to do with him.
I'm just making sure he won't drag me down.
Please leave.
You hold the key to the truth
behind what happened with HS Group.
Please help us.
Tell Grace Lee
that I'm doing very well.
Tell her that my love and trust in her
will not waver.
...At least for now.
That means there's a chance.
Depending on how Hwayeong acts,
he may change his position.
You think so?
He's trying to hide it,
but he is wavering a little bit.
What are you two doing?
Is there something fun to discuss?
Please teach them office etiquette.
Two people from different teams
can't fool around like this during work hours.
What do you mean, Yungi?
You and Sojin used to do that all the time.
Are you jealous?
Do I smell love in the air?
It's not like that at all!
We were just talking about the new lineup.
You've got it all wrong...
That's enough.
Just get back to your department.
Ms. Baek.
Hello.
What are you doing here?
Right?
I can't stand this anymore.
Are you feeling better?
Yeah, I'm fine.
Chuja, you get up, too.
My heart may be bruised up,
but your heart must be in tatters.
You haven't had dinner yet, right?
I'm okay, but I'm worried about mom.
Want me to make you some porridge?
Sora.
Let's go out, get her some porridge,
and get some food for ourselves.
Chuja, I'm taking Sora out to eat.
Cheer up and feel better.
Go.
How...
What will I do with you, Hwayeong?
Hello?
Hello, I'm Reporter Lee from Jongil Ilbo.
What? A reporter?
You know that your daughter
sued for custody as a surrogate, right?
As a mother, what are your thoughts?
I don't know. Don't call me anymore.
Geez.
How did they get my number?
I didn't come home because I had work.
Sorry I didn't call.
What have you done?
What are you trying to achieve?
Are you out of your mind? Are you insane?
Mom.
What gives you the right to have custody?
You made us all look like idiots.
What gives you the right?
Calm down.
How can I?
I just found out that my own daughter
made a huge mess without telling me.
How can I calm down?
How can I just stay put?
Mom, what's wrong with you?
Stay out of my business.
Do you think I'm a moron?
I see exactly what's going on.
How can I not get involved?
My own daughter
is digging her own grave.
What kind of mother stands by and watches?
I'll take care of it myself!
It's my grave to dig,
so stay out of my business!
Why'd you hit me? Huh?
Why'd you hit me?
Why are you doing this me?
Because I'm your mother!
I don't want to watch my child
destroy her own life!
I just want you to snap out of it already!
Is Jinwu your son?
You gave birth to him for money.
That's nothing to be proud of.
Now you're saying Jinwu is your son?
Have you no shame?
Can't you tell right from wrong?
Are you saying he's not my son?
You know I carried him for 9 months!
But you got paid to do that.
You sold your body to give birth to that child.
That's all. What more can you ask for?
If you really wanted to be his mom
you shouldn't have taken the money.
You should've gotten with Byeongguk.
You should've seduced him from the start.
Why couldn't you do that then? Why?
I did, but he dumped me.
He said I was below him.
But when you came back from the States,
he took you back?
You really are crazy!
Even after that, you still wanted to marry him?
He was Yeonhui's husband!
He was Yeonhui's husband.
I did it for my brother!
I did it for his sake.
Mom, that's why...
That's why I did that.
Yeonhui and Byeongguk,
I couldn't let them live happily ever after.
Not while we were living in misery.
How could I let them be happy,
when we were hitting rock bottom?
After ruining our lives,
why do they get to live in happiness?
That's why I did it! That's why!
Oh, Hwayeong...
It's too late to go back now.
Everything is already in motion,
so please, mom.
Just leave me alone.
No, Hwayeong!
I'll take the fall for this.
I'll tell everyone that it was my fault.
I'll say I forced you to sell your body
and to become a surrogate.
I'll take the fall for all of this.
So please stop.
Hwayeong, please stop.
I didn't do it for you.
Jinwu's my son.
Why do you always say that?
Is this how you're going to be?
If you plan on keeping this up,
let's just die.
Let's just end our lives together.
To make life easier for everyone else,
you and I should just leave this world.
Let's go. Let's go!
Let me go! I'm serious!
Believe me mom, I'm serious!
Jinwu's my biological son!
What?
He's not my surrogate son. He's really mine!
Hwayeong, did you...
Did you and Byeongguk...
What did you just say?
What are you saying? Jinwu's what?
He's really my son.
He's related to you, me and mom.
He's a part of our family.
Hey, Hwayeong.
Say that clearly one more time.
I got Donghyeon's friend Myeongseok to help.
Myeonseok used my egg for fertilization.
What?
You... How...
Now, do you understand
why I couldn't let Jinwu go?
Do you get why I can't let Yeonhui have him?
He's my biological son.
He's a boy of my flesh and blood.
He's your grandson, and your great-nephew.
He's my son.
Oh, Shik!
Chuja.
Hwayeong, what will we do with you?
Jinwu's my real son.
He's a boy of my flesh and blood.
He's your grandson.
What will we do?
That poor boy.
I can't believe he's Hwayeong's son.
Where's my baby?
Wake up, Jinwu.
Mom, let me sleep a little longer.
According to Korean law, "mother" is defined
as the woman who bears the child.
Miss, are you married?
Have you ever experienced the pain of birth?
No, he's of my blood.
How could Jinwu be....
Jinwu, Jinwu, wake up.
Wake up, Jinwu. Good boy.
Let's eat.
Come on, Jinwu.
Come on.
Jinwu, you're too old for that. Get down.
No.
Jinwu, come down.
Sit here.
I made the eggs that you like so much.
Here.
It looks yummy.
Stop making life so hard on your mother.
She's having a hard enough time as is.
Is Myeongun well prepared for this case?
Yes. I'm sure he is.
What if he loses?
Hwayeong gave talks on the Korean Law
all over the news and media.
Dad, I'm giving a lecture at work today.
What? Really?
Yeah.
I'm giving a lecture on our new product
and some educational stuff for our planners.
Thanks to Munsuk,
it all happened rather quickly.
I'm so nervous.
Really?
That's great! I'm so proud of you.
I had no idea you were so talented.
Hey, but...
Can I bring Jinwu to your lecture?
Yes, Attorney Ko.
He's going to Byeongguk's this week?
Okay.
I miss you, Jinwu.
What's wrong with all of you?
You two look completely dazed.
What's going on with you two?
Mom, did something happen?
No. Nothing happened.
It's nothing, Sora.
Don't worry. Just focus on your schoolwork.
I want to know what this is about, too.
What is it?
- Come and eat. / - Yeah, come on.
Mom, Uncle Chansik. I'm going to work.
Okay. Have a nice day.
- Hwayeong. / - Mom.
Just leave me alone.
I'll handle it on my own.
She's left the nest now,
just let her live her own life.
The more you hang on, the more it'll hurt you.
So stop all this crying and sighing
and eat up to get your strength back.
Say ah. Come on. Ah.
Ow, my stomach.
That's strange.
I haven't eaten a thing since yesterday.
Good morning.
What's wrong?
My stomach hurts so badly.
Where does it hurt? How?
I'm not sure. What's wrong with me?
No... No!
Take me to the hospital.
Let's stop by the pharmacy first.
No, take me to the hospital.
Jinsuk.
Get on my back.
No...
Come on. Hang on.
Wait just a little bit longer.
- Hold on. / - Let's go.
Ow, it hurts.
Hang on.
Are you okay?
Yes.
There's a general practice just ahead.
If you get medicine and a shot, you can...
I can't.
What?
Why not?
OBGYN.
Take me to an OBGYN.
An OBGYN?
I'm...
I'm pregnant.
What?
I'm sorry.
It's not your baby.
Have you been well?
Didn't you miss me?
When can I live with both you and mom?
I love you both so much,
so why can't be all live together?
Retract your suit.
Have some dignity.
How dare you?
Jinwu is Hwayeong's son.
We're not giving up!
Do you need to do this in front of the kid?
Get out of my face.
Should I call the police?
I came to see my son.
Why are you doing this to me?
You'd do anything to get Jinwu back.
I'm so sick and tired of it.
We're in the same boat now.
You can't get rid of me now.
