Two Mothers
You'll be paying Yeonhui a visit today?
Yes. I'm dropping off some oriental medicine.
Please come back with a smile this time,
not with an angry face like last time.
It's not like I did it on purpose.
It's because Mrs. Jeong makes me upset.
Mom.
And yet, you still got oriental medicine for her?
I wouldn't even want to see her.
This is what mothers do for their daughters.
You'll know when you're married.
The weather's getting so hot,
but Yeonhui has to carry that huge belt around.
And from the way Mrs. Jeong carries herself...
Honey.
Be quiet. Someone might hear you.
In any case, just accept it.
Junhui, don't tell anyone about it.
Got it?
Baek Yeonhui is so stubborn.
She could've just gotten a divorce...
Be quiet.
Uncle, I'm going to school.
Okay, my lovely princess. Have a great day.
Okay.
How sweet.
Aren't you going to class?
I'm going.
But have you talked to Hwayeong lately?
Not at all.
When I called her a few days ago,
she got angry at me for calling.
Oh, my life is pathetic.
Stop saying stuff like that.
After I watched my son leave this world,
my daughter has stopped
calling me since she thinks I'm a joke.
And my only brother went to law school
but he's totally useless.
My whole life, he's been sucking
the life out of me like a tick.
Here we go again.
Just hang on.
I'll get a job, make money
and have a great life, too.
Please do that, please.
It's your sister's wish.
It's getting close to Hwayeong's due date.
Mom.
Welcome.
Have you been well?
- Please take a seat. - Yes.
Bring us some tea.
What would you like to drink?
Coffee, please.
Please get us some coffee.
Yes.
I think my daughter-in-law
will be having a healthy baby boy.
Her stomach is so big now.
You only have to hold on for a bit longer
so just hang in there.
But what is this?
Did you get us oriental medicine again?
Yes, this is for you.
This is for Byeongguk.
And this is for Yeonhui.
Thank you. We'll make sure that we take it.
Because of your dedication,
I'm sure Yeonhui's birth will go smoothly.
Hey, if you're tired, you should go lie down.
During the last month, there's all this back pain
and it gets pretty demanding.
Here, lie down over there.
- Have some. - I will.
Hey...
You're pregnant, you can't drink coffee.
Don't drink it. Have some milk instead.
Excuse me.
Bring us some warm milk.
What's wrong with her?
Is she a mental patient?
Is this an act or a show?
I know that you like coffee
but abstain for your baby's sake.
There's not much time left.
Just wait until you give birth.
Her hands and face are so swollen
watching her takes me back.
I'd forgotten all about that.
It's not easy to become a mother, it seems.
We're the only ones here.
Why are you doing this?
Just let her be comfortable.
What do you mean?
You do this every time I come over
and it makes me feel uncomfortable.
Can't you ease up a bit?
For Yeonhui as well.
Don't say that.
Ease up?
Pregnancy itself is uncomfortable
and as parents, this is our job.
Mrs. Jeong.
Mom.
I'll have to get going now.
You should stay and eat first.
But since Yeonhui is reaching the final weeks
you should let her rest.
Mom.
Hey, slow down.
What happened to you?
I can't stand Yeonhui's mother-in-law.
Come on.
I'll let you speak privately.
Thank you.
Yeonhui's mother-in-law was at it again.
That's why I told you to let her be.
Yeonhui's just keeps to herself quietly
as if she were a criminal.
And she has to wear that huge maternity band.
I told you to watch your mouth.
Just think of it as karma.
Karma? What karma?
What did Yeonhui do to deserve this?
I can't believe what's going on.
I wish I hadn't let her get married
so that she could've live with us.
This is all your fault. You know that?
Be quiet!
Don't complain to me at my workplace.
Go back home.
I hope you're not busy right now.
No matter how busy I am
I'll always make time for you.
But what's up?
How's Yeonhui doing these days?
Yeonhui, again?
She's just pregnant is all.
Her stomach's gotten huge
and she's worrying about prenatal care.
But it's strange.
I guess you two don't talk these days.
Yeah, it's been a while since we last spoke.
That's why I was curious.
Mom stops by from time to time.
But I think her mother-in-law
is giving her stress.
That's why I'll never get married.
But if I do, I won't live like that.
I have to get to a meeting.
Yes, I'm on my way.
I want to hold my own baby in my arms.
After I was treated for cancer,
this might be my only chance.
So you've decided to go through with this?
What are you doing?
Hey.
That's your meal?
I didn't really feel like eating.
Even if you don't feel like eating,
you should do so for your baby's sake.
Have a seat.
Baby, have you been good?
It's your grandma.
My dear baby.
Take this in the morning and the evening.
Don't skip it just because it's a hassle.
It's supposed to help you give birth.
Understood.
Did you listen to the music
and read the book I got for you?
Yes.
That's good.
Baby, do you like music?
Your grandma prepared it for you.
What's wrong?
Do you think it's time?
Yes, a little.
Oh, no.
Let's go to the hospital.
I'm still fine.
What do you mean?
Get ready right now.
Wait, should I call an ambulance?
Mrs. Jeong isn't even home.
Just take it off.
No, I'm okay.
There's no one in the house.
I'm just afraid you'll get a heat rash.
Yes, mother?
I'm at the hospital right now.
How's your stomach? Hurts, doesn't it?
Pack your bags right now
and get ready to come to the hospital.
Tell Byeongguk and come with him.
Yes, mother.
Lay down here.
Are you okay?
When do you think she'll give birth?
You must be very worried about her.
Don't worry. I think it'll go well.
Doctor.
Don't worry.
The baby will be out in no time.
Thank you.
But where is Dr. Lee?
He went on a business trip.
So I'll be here instead. Don't worry.
But what about the favor I asked of him?
He told me all about that.
You don't have to worry about that either.
Doctor.
Everything worked out.
Well then...
Hello?
Jinsuk.
We're heading to the hospital right now.
Okay, I've had her hospitalized
so just come to room 707.
Okay, will do.
She wants us to come to room 707.
Yeonhui.
You've had a hard time
keeping up with my brutal sister-in-law.
As you're raising the baby,
put all that behind you.
No matter what anyone says,
that baby is yours, okay?
Okay.
Great.
With that baby,
our future will be filled with joy.
Just a little bit more.
If it hurts too much, don't hesitate to scream.
Yes, you're doing great.
One more time.
The baby's almost out.
Great job. It's a boy.
Nurse Park?
Hang on.
Wait, show me the baby.
You can see it later.
Doctor.
Please calm down.
I have to treat the aftereffects, don't move.
Hey there child, here's your mom.
Baby, can you hear me?
I'm your mom.
Your mom.
Honey.
He looks a lot like you.
All this time, you put up with a lot.
Mother was right.
I never imagined
that we'd ever have such a beautiful baby.
Let me see my baby.
He looks just like his grandpa.
No, he looks like Byeongguk.
Byeongguk takes after his father.
That's why the baby takes after his dad.
My precious baby.
You're the male heir of the family.
Oh, no.
He's crying.
Ms. Lee Hwayeong, this is your medication.
Take it within an hour after your meals.
I'll also be giving you a shot.
Nurse?
Can I meet with Dr. Jin Myeongseok?
I'm not sure. He's in a meeting.
I want to see the baby.
You haven't seen the baby yet?
Doctor?
Good work.
Are you feeling any discomfort?
Where is my baby?
I want to see the baby.
Your health is my main priority
so please wait a bit longer.
Doctor.
Can you two step out for a bit?
Myeongseok.
I want to see my baby.
Show me my baby.
Hwayeong.
- Myeongseok. - Stop it.
You already know. You're a surrogate.
You promised you'd never see the baby.
No.
No...
Don't do this.
Myeongseok.
That baby is mine.
You know that baby is mine.
Forget it.
Myeongseok, just once.
From this day forth, we're strangers.
Don't ever call me again.
Everything I owed Donghyeon,
just as you requested,
I've paid back in full.
Myeongseok, Myeongseok.
Myeongseok!
Please show me my baby.
I'll give a shot, please get some sleep.
Please, I beg you. Show me just once.
After you sleep for a bit,
you'll be able to see the baby.
No, no.
I have to see the baby right now!
Are you okay?
- Hurry inside. - I'm sorry.
No, please call the doctor.
Call him!
Please calm down.
Please call the doctor!
Calm down.
Doctor, Doctor!
Myeongseok, my baby.
Show me my baby. Bring him here!
Nurse Park, prepare some Ativan.
Yes.
Myeongseok, Myeongseok!
Hwayeong, what's wrong with you?
You promised not to do this.
Myeongseok, my baby.
You idiot. Didn't you see this coming?
You knew.
I tried to stop you but you wanted this.
Then bite the bullet.
That baby isn't yours.
Why not? It's my baby.
It's my baby!
Myeongseok.
My baby.
My baby, it's my fault.
I made the wrong choice.
My baby.
Rock-a-bye baby,
on the treetop...
My baby.
I'm your mom.
Say "mom."
Come in.
Have some seaweed soup.
Mother, I just had some.
That was lunch.
You need to eat more often.
It's good for your breast milk and your health.
But mother...
Are you trying to say you didn't give birth?
You birthed this baby.
No matter what anyone says,
you have just given birth.
Just focus on looking after your health.
Yes, mother.
Let me see, my baby.
You look exactly like your dad.
Yes, yes.
You're our family's greatest fortune.
That's right.
Yes, I'm your grandma.
I'm your grandma alright.
Honey?
Why are you home so early?
Yeonhui's mother and father
are coming to see the baby today.
Let me hold him, mother.
No, wash your hands first.
Just let me hold him first.
I said no.
Go and wash your hands first.
Okay...
What are you doing?
Have some seaweed soup.
Yes.
Is it all prepared?
Yes.
It's hot.
You should be careful.
It's been less than a month.
Is it okay for guests to come over?
They keep trying to take Yeonhui away.
What other choice do I have?
I have to invite them over
so that they can see the baby.
Your phone has been ringing since earlier.
Surrogate
Mom, father-in-law likes sashimi.
Did you prepare some?
Yes. Of course.
The subscriber is unavailable.
Now connecting to voicemail.
Ma'am, it's me.
I'm sorry but can I see my baby?
Just let me see him once.
Please just once.
Myeongseok, I want to see my baby.
Show me my baby.
Hwayeong.
- Myeongseok. - Stop it.
You already know. You're a surrogate.
You're a surrogate.

The subscriber is unavailable.
Why? She's not picking up?
I wonder what happened to Hwayeong.
She been dodging my calls for a week.
Chansik, do you think something's wrong?
I'm not sure.
I wish I could go and visit her.
But I don't know where she is.
Do you think she gave birth already?
Uncle, did Hwayeong have a baby?
What? No.
What baby? Who's having a baby?
Watch what you say.
Keep drawing.
Gosh.
I can't stand it.
Let's look for Hwayeong.
How would we find her?
We don't know where she lives.
That brat.
Oh, right. Over there.
Enjoy your night.
Thank you.
This is Lee Gonghui.
Hello, this is Lee Hwayeong's uncle.
Chansik...
I'm in front of the restaurant.
Can I see you for a moment?
Sure, of course.
I'll be right there.
Oh, no.
What am I supposed to do?
Sunam, please look after this table.
Oh, no.
Chansik?
How do you do?
Hello.
I've been waiting a long time for you.
Why? Is something up?
We don't need a reason to see each other.
We don't?
Come on.
I don't know. I just don't!
I was wondering if you heard from Hwayeong.
Hwayeong?
So you haven't heard from her either?
No.
I'm sorry. I haven't heard from her either.
Never.
- Never? - Yes, never.
I called her, but she wouldn't ever pick up.
Okay then.
I wanted to ask over the phone
but I thought I should ask you in person.
If she calls,
please tell her to call us.
Okay.
Goodbye then.
Chansik!
When will we meet again?
What?
Goodbye.
Oh, my gosh!
He's just so handsome.
He's a sight for sore eyes.
But where did Hwayeong go?
Hello?
It's me.
Ma'am, my baby.
How is the baby?
I tried calling you many times.
Open the door. I'm at your house.
Ma'am.
Were you drinking?
Yes.
And the baby?
Why didn't you bring the baby?
This is the rest of the money. Check it.
Our contract is over now.
Thanks for all the hard work.
Ma'am.
My baby.
Can't you show me his face once?
Your baby?
How dare you?
You didn't give birth to that baby.
My daughter-in-law did.
Ma'am.
Why are you getting greedy
over something you'll never have?
Don't be a fool.
I understand how you feel.
But what good will come
from seeing the baby?
You will never see or meet us again anyhow.
Have a great life.
Ma'am. I'll do it.
I'll believe that I never gave birth.
So please...
Don't approach me ever again.
It's for you and the baby.
It's the wisest choice.
I'm sure you know better than I do.
Ma'am, ma'am.
Ma'am!
Oh, this so cute.
This is even cuter.
Hello?
Still not done?
What's taking so long?
I'm done. I'll head to the office.
Hello, ma'am. Let me get that for you.
- How have you been? - I've been fine.
- Mom. - Hey.
Mr. Yu, are you coming with us?
We're going to Yeonhui's home.
We'll be seeing the baby.
You should come with us.
Hey.
She's Yeonhui's friend.
The president will be coming down shortly.
Okay.
Honey?
Your chauffeur is waiting for you.
Okay. Let's go.
You're here.
Hello.
How do you do, Mrs. Jeong?
Good evening.
We wanted to see our grandson so badly,
we violated the 30-day rule. We're sorry.
Don't be.
I'm the one who should be apologizing.
I should've let Yeonhui rest with you.
But if I don't see Jinwu for a day,
I feel like I'm dying.
I'm glad you're here. Take a seat.
Where is Yeonhui?
Jinwu.
Jinwu, are you awake?
Yeonhui?
Be quiet.
Let me see.
Mom.
- Let me see. - Dad.
He's so cute.
- He's such a cutie. - Wow.
He looks so smart.
My goodness.
Watch how he yawns.
