Excuse me.
Why are there so many side dishes?
This is too much for breakfast.
Today is Yeonhui's birthday.
Oh, I forgot.
I'm sorry, honey.
It's okay. You're bound to forget if you're busy.
How could you forget your wife's birthday?
That's dereliction of duty.
You should've told us about your birthday
instead of making us look bad like this.
Gosh.
I'm sorry, mother.
I know everyone has been busy
so I didn't want to bother you with it.
If you had known,
you should've told us yesterday.
I'm sorry, ma'am.
Let's have a birthday party.
Come to the restaurant later.
I'll treat you to a great meal!
- Got it, Yeonhui? / - Okay.
Eat up.
Hello?
Yes.
What's with the phone call?
I'm having seaweed soup now.
Dad, I'm fine.
If it's your father, invite him to dinner.
He can come to the restaurant later.
Dad?
Okay, I got it.
I'll clear my schedule tonight and stop by.
Okay, bye.
What did she say?
She's having seaweed soup now.
And she'll be having dinner at
Byeongguk's aunt's restaurant.
She has invited us, too.
I don't want to go.
Her mother-in-law is a difficult woman.
Come on.
We'd be going to celebrate Yeonhui's birthday.
Birthday? Is it someone's birthday, mom?
How could you?
You forgot your sister's birthday?
It's her birthday?
Oh, that's right.
But dad?
You forgot my birthday last month, too.
You only care about Yeonhui.
She's all that matters to you.
I'm your daughter, too, you know.
That upsets me.
Don't be jealous.
In any case, when will you get married?
Married?
You want me to get married?
No way.
Don't talk nonsense.
I'll set you up with suitable candidates.
Dad, I don't want to.
Is this because of Mr. Yu?
Not exactly. I'm just not interested in dating.
I'm going to work.
Hey, you should eat. Junhui!
I think it's because of Mr. Yu.
What should we do?
She's just immature.
Let's leave her be for now.
Good morning.
You're in a little later than usual.
Ms. Jeong.
Did you come up with the estimate?
Yes, it's on your desk.
Good work.
I'm going to Mr. Yu's office.
Hold on.
I'll go instead.
It's only right for me to go.
What's wrong with them?
Don't you know that the two are rivals?
For Mr. Yu's love.
What?
I'd fall in love with him, too.
He's all-around perfect.
He has a nice voice,
he's tall and handsome, too!
What a catch!
Why are you following me?
- Just because. / - Whatever!
To see Mr. Yu?
Why? Can't I?
I told you he has a girlfriend
and that girlfriend is me.
Must I tell you this myself?
I told you from the start.
That won't stop me at all.
What are you two doing?
Mr. Yu!
I wanted to see you, Ms. Baek.
Really?
Then let's go talk over there.
Let's go.
What's up?
I have a favor to ask of you.
A favor?
Great, if you're asking me out,
I won't turn you down.
Will you give this to your sister?
It's her birthday so I bought her a brooch.
Seongbin.
You can give it to her yourself.
Why are you asking me to do this?
I wanted to but I don't have the time.
You're so insensitive.
Do you like my sister that much?
She's a married woman.
What?
Are you worried that I might have feelings
for a married woman?
We've known each other since college.
When we were in school, she was good to me.
So this is nothing.
I heard this many times over.
Fine, I'll give it to her.
Junhui?
Ms. Baek!
Was I wrong to ask her?
So please focus on cleanliness.
Mind your nails and hair in particular.
And there's a birthday party
in the VIP room tonight.
That's all. Cheese!
Whiskey!
You're excused!
Ms. Lee?
Yes?
Have you called Lee Hwayeong yet?
Not yet.
- Okay then. / - Okay...
Hold on. We need to talk.
What's the matter?
Does Ms. Jeong want to meet Hwayeong?
Yes.
Since she knows Hwayeong is Grace Lee,
I think she wants to talk about the contract.
And Hwayeong was a surrogate for her family,
so Ms. Jeong is concerned.
Surrogate?
What?
Hwayeong was a surrogate for her family?
I don't know.
You just said that.
No, I didn't.
Look, Ms. Lee Gonghui.
I heard it with my own two ears, so tell me.
What happened? Tell me now.
Miranda?
Professor, how are you?
Hey, newbie. Bae Chuja!
Clean it like it's your own face.
Look at all that dust. Clean it well!
Focus on your own work.
What?
Hey, Bae Chuja.
Pay up.
Weren't you the one who cleaned
the bathroom on the 3rd floor yesterday?
An employee slipped this morning
and fractured her arm.
How could you leave water on the floor?
But I wiped it clean.
Is that the best you can do?
At this rate,
everyone who works here will have fractures!
And last time, you misused the chlorine
and ruined someone's suit.
Are you out of your mind?
I'm sorry.
Pay up or I'll fire you.
Hey!
We can't work under such conditions!
Stop yelling!
Which department are you in?
Department?
Bae Chuja and I are one team.
And I'm the leader of the team.
Which department are you in?
Don't you know that I'm the supervisor?
Supervisor?
So you're the supervisor?
Fine, if you are,
then you should be sticking up for her.
But what? You want her to pay up?
Says who?
Does the employee want her to pay?
How much is it?
You should talk to people with kindness!
It's like you're aching for a beating!
My fists are itching for a fight because of you!
Hey!
Have you lost your mind?
I'm your supervisor!
So? You think you're some hotshot?
Do you want to see what I'm made of?
Do you?
I'm about to die here.
So why did you fight her?
I've been waiting for this chance.
Who cares if she's the supervisor?
She's so money hungry.
She's always asking for money.
We're all cleaners around here
and we should look after each other.
How could she side against us?
Oh, my forehead.
I used my forehead to hit her,
so now I have a splitting headache.
Thank you.
Are you going to be nice to me now?
But let's be honest.
Honest? About what?
Our age.
What?
I know I look really young, but
I'm actually much older than I look.
I'll show you my ID first.
Here.
Let me see yours now.
We're the same age.
What?
Let's be friends, Lee Ssangsun.
Yes! Friends it is, then!
We're no strangers, Bae Chuja.
Right.
Friends, friends
Chansik, what's up?
It's about Hwayeong.
Do you know which family
she was the surrogate for?
Mr. Bae, is the rucola pizza ready yet?
It's almost ready.
Let's talk at home. See you later.
What is he talking about?
Surrogate?
Hey, newbie. Let's get back to work.
Let's have a great day.
Great!
Ms. Baek?
Here.
What is this?
It's your birthday today.
It's just some chocolate.
I wish you a life of sweetness,
like this chocolate.
Thanks for remembering, Yeongeun.
It's nothing. You're so good to me.
I'm sorry I couldn't get you something better.
Don't say that! I'm so happy that someone
remembered my birthday at all!
Welcome.
Today is Yeonhui's birthday.
I forgot. I'm sorry, honey.
Honey, how do I look?
What's wrong with you?
Take it off now. You look cheap.
Do you want to have lunch with me?
Tell me. Is it your mother-in-law?
Your husband?
What?
I can tell you're very stressed out.
I'm just a bit tired.
Did you try on the lingerie I gave you?
Does your husband like it?
Oh.
I don't think it really suits me.
I'm sure it'd look better on you.
No way.
So what's married life like?
Married life?
I'm not married yet so I'm curious.
You have a son, Jinwu.
And I know that you're happy.
Was your husband your first love?
Don't you know first loves never work out?
What? So your first love was someone else?
Tell me about it. This will be fun!
Hwayeong, I think I have to get going.
I'm meeting with my family later, so
I feel a bit rushed today.
Meeting with family?
What's the occasion?
Don't you think we're giving up too much?
At this rate,
there won't be much of a profit.
By starting out Lasar with that famous brand,
we'll be appealing to the younger folks.
Even if we don't have great profit,
in the long run...
Let's keep an eye on this.
We still have some more time.
Hello?
This is Grace Lee.
Do you know why I called?
It's my birthday today.
But I have no one to celebrate with.
You'll stay with me today, right?
I'm sorry.
I have an important dinner appointment.
Can't you postpone it?
I don't think so.
Fine. That's too bad.
Then buy me a present.
You can do that, can't you?
- I'll take this one. / - Okay.
I feel bad I'm the only one getting a gift.
Pick something out for your wife.
I'm not sure.
How could you forget your wife's birthday?
That's dereliction of duty.
Maybe I will.
I'll pick one out for you.
This one looks nice.
Okay.
What do you think? Do you like it?
I don't know what women like.
- We'll take this. / - Okay.
This is why I like you.
What?
You listen to me well.
Will you listen to me, too?
You mean about the contract?
That depends solely on you.
Merely with presents,
you can't win such a big project, can you?
Since you're busy today,
I'll let you go.
Oh, Mrs. Jeong. You look so pretty.
I'm too old to be pretty.
Jinwu, how do I look?
Grandma, you look so pretty!
Like a movie star!
Really?
Oh! My dear grandson.
You are so good at giving compliments!
- Shall I call the driver? / - Yes.
Jinwu, let's go.
You can cut the cake
and blow out the candles.
Do you know the birthday song?
Yes.
Happy birthday, dear Yeonhui
Happy birthday to you!
Blow out the candles.
Jinwu, let's blow out the candles together.
One, two, three.
Yeonhui, happy birthday.
Thank you, mother.
Happy birthday.
Happy birthday!
Here. This is for you.
When did you buy this?
Isn't it too expensive?
Not at all.
You've had it hard after getting married
but I haven't done much for you.
Don't say that.
People would think she's having
a difficult married life.
Come on. You shouldn't say that.
Byeongguk was just saying that...
Yeonhui, try it on.
Okay.
It's pretty.
It's nice.
Mom, I want to eat the cake.
No, Jinwu. Eat your meal first.
No, I want to have some cake.
Okay, just one bite.
Grace Lee
Byeongguk, it's me.
I'm not feeling well.
What's the matter?
Hello?
Can you come over right away?
I'm so sick... So sick...
Here.
Thank you.
Is the exchange complete?
Yes.
I'm sorry, but
but I'll have to get going.
There's an emergency at work.
Emergency?
I'm sorry. It's your birthday and all...
I'm sorry, father. It's an emergency.
It's okay. You should go then.
I wonder what happened at work.
You know how busy it can get
running a business.
Isn't that right, Mr. Baek?
Sure, of course.
What's the matter?
I'm so sick.
Shouldn't you go see a doctor?
You're drenched in sweat!
Hwayeong, Hwayeong!
Give me my present first.
Ta-da.
Wow, it's pretty.
Do you like it?
I'm sorry, Donghyeon,
for forgetting you.
But it's better to forget, right?
I'm doing the right thing, right?
Mom.
Jinwu, mommy is right here.
Close your eyes and sleep.
Rock-a-bye baby, in the treetop...
What? The owner of the restaurant?
I think so.
So are you saying that
she gave birth to the CEO's son,
the owner of the building where I work?
I think so.
You think? Tell me what you know.
I'm not sure.
But Gonghui said something like that.
And I think Ms. Jeong wants her to call
Hwayeong to meet her.
My gosh.
Chansik, what's going on here?
Hwayeong has been working
with that company.
Does she know nothing?
She wouldn't know, would she?
I'm not sure about that.
What if it's true?
Even if Hwayeong doesn't know now,
once she finds out...
Oh, my head hurts.
Chansik, when you meet Gonghui tomorrow,
you should ask her.
Okay.
He must be crazy!
He didn't come home last night again?
Huija, this isn't right.
Please scold Byeongguk.
I'm sure he was very busy.
Think of how he left at your party.
Do you think he wanted to leave?
He must've been very busy
if he didn't make it home last night.
Don't you think?
It's true.
But I feel upset because it's so frequent.
Did he call?
No.
He must be out of his mind.
Jinsuk.
How can you say that?
In any case, you have to make him stop.
If you keep letting this go on,
it'll surely bring you trouble.
You're giving her such great advice.
Hello?
It's me.
I'm sorry I didn't come home last night.
Mr. Kim's father passed away.
I went to see him after work.
Please understand.
Even so,
you should've called me.
You didn't even pick up your phone.
We were all worried, even your mother.
I'm sorry. I'll go home early.
Okay.
Come to the coffee shop later.
Okay.
This season's designs were great.
Our clients are raving about them.
And there is a surge in orders.
Your idea was great.
Ms. Baek should take the credit.
Junhui?
I thought she was just an immature kid,
but I guess she's talented after all.
And the newly hired Ms. Jeong Yumi
is very talented, too.
Great. Keep up the good work.
Thank you.
Wait, Mr. Yu.
Yes, sir?
What do you think of Junhui?
Never mind. You may go.
Yes, sir.
Mr. Yu, we need to talk.
Why?
Give this to my sister yourself.
Didn't you go to her birthday party?
I did go.
But with her husband and in-laws present,
how could I give her this?
"Yeonhui, the man who considers you his
first love asked me to give you this."
Just like that?
Do you know how cruel you are?
Okay, I'll give it to her myself.
Oh, geez!
Ms. Lee, I'd like a word with you.
Okay, Ms. Jeong.
Did you try calling Lee Hwayeong?
Yes.
But she doesn't pick up.
Can you try again right now?
Now?
The person you are trying to reach is not...
She's not picking up.
Then try again before the day up,
and get back to me.
But don't tell her I made you do it.
Set up an appointment if you can.
Yes, Ms. Jeong.
Hold on.
Oh my!
What's wrong with you?
I'm busy.
What did Ms. Jeong say?
- Just... / - Just what?
Just...
Did she ask about Hwayeong again?
Tell me!
She wants me to call Hwayeong
and set up a time to see her.
Ms. Lee.
Lee Gonghui, listen to me well.
Tell me what you said yesterday.
About what?
About Hwayeong being the surrogate mother.
No. I don't know that for sure.
I really don't!
Just tell me the truth.
Is it Mr. Jeong?
Is he the father of the child
that Hwayeong gave birth to?
Is it true or not?
Why didn't you tell me earlier?
Look here.
Mr. Bae?
Why do you keep pestering Ms. Lee?
You did it last time, too.
That's not how a gentleman should act.
Hey, professor.
Mind your own business.
Why are you meddling in
other people's affairs?
You're pestering this delicate woman
so how could I not meddle?
You're so ignorant,
you can bravely harass this woman.
What? Ignorant?
Hey, you!
Did you call me ignorant?
I went to law school, you know!
Who cares if you're a professor?
Why are you two doing this?
You can't be fighting over me.
I know the both of you like me
but you shouldn't do this!
You're just a dork.
What? A dork?
Hey!
- Chansik! / - It hurts!
You're dead meat.
Come here.
Chansik, stop it.
Please!
What are you doing?
Yeonhui.
It's good to see you!
How was your birthday party?
What did your husband get you?
Oh!
I got it from my boyfriend.
Boyfriend?
The man I told you about before.
I guess we were meant to be friends.
How could we get the same gift?
All of us should meet up.
My boyfriend, your husband, you and me!
It'd be a lot of fun.
Now, that's something to look forward to.
- Honey. / - You're here.
