(Episode 1)
- Hello. - Hi.
- I'm sorry I'm late. - No, I was here early.
- Let's go find the ingredients. - Okay.
- Welcome. - Hello.
Do you always come to pick these out yourself?
Of course. Mr Kim, do you cook at all?
Not at all.
It's my first time even coming to a fish market.
You're a bold husband.
I don't cook because I can't.
You can't cook because you don't.
- Is that so? - Yes.
- Excuse me. - Sure.
Hi, Mr Lee.
I'm at a fish market.
Did the team leave?
The venue was supposed to take care of that.
- Take this, too. - Yes, Sir.
No.
The name tags aren't here yet.
Wait a second.
I'm getting another call. I'll call you back.
Hello, are you at the lobby?
I'll be there. Okay.
- Are the name tags here? - Yes.
I'll go to the lobby.
It's all right. You're almost due. I'll go.
How long will you come to work with such a body?
She'll leave the moment you sign the papers for her maternity leave.
Even our full-time employees don't dare to go on maternity leave.
I can't believe a contract worker is asking for leave. That's absurd.
It's all right, Eun Joo. Your contract will be renewed.
A renewal?
How can a pregnant lady get her contract renewed?
Being pregnant isn't a sin.
It is a sin because we are short on hands.
Just when they're finally trained, they go and get pregnant.
- I'll be back. - Don't cut me off...
when I am still speaking!
My goodness, that woman.
Excuse me, are you here with the name tags?
- Yes, I am. - Hello.
- Here you are. - Thank you.
- Goodbye. - Goodbye.
Oh, my.
- Hello, Bang Geul. - Mum.
What's wrong?
I was just wondering when you'll come pick me up.
I told you that I'll be late today.
I'm so sorry. I'll finish up here. Wait just a little longer.
Okay, come quickly.
Okay, wait a little bit longer.
When is your mum coming?
She'll be here soon.
I see.
This is bad. I have to be somewhere.
I'm so sorry.
It's okay. Your mum is a busy woman.
Are you leaving?
The new products will be here, so I'm going to the venue.
I hope you aren't trying to run away, Ms Joo.
Come on, Mr Kim. I'd never do that.
Mi So.
I'll be a bit late tomorrow.
I'm taking half a day off.
- You're taking half a day off? - Is your dad...
- the CEO of this company? - Pardon?
If not, how dare you take time off.
We're about to launch our new product.
I have to attend my son's sports day.
She's going to her son's sports day?
Mr Yoo, how are you managing your team?
Do you work here to clean up after married women?
She did everything she has to do, and decided to take her leave.
What could I do?
It looks like Ms Joo always goes to her son's school events.
She doesn't need to care about what the company thinks.
Her mother helped her out with everything,
so she didn't take maternity leave or child-care leave.
But someone who used up all of her leaves like me...
can't even dream of going...
to my child's school events.
- Let's finish this up and go home. - Okay.
What's wrong with me?
You've been feeling under the weather lately, haven't you?
I have.
I really can't be sick.
Have the new products arrived?
Okay, that's good to hear.
Take about 30 of them and give them to the hotel employees.
It's nothing to be thankful for.
We have to get the word out anyway.
Use it well, and spread the word.
If anyone asks, I was there today, okay?
Okay.
Goodness.
Hello.
- It's Min Ho's mum. - Who is she?
I told you about her. She's moving into our apartment this weekend.
- Oh, the mum from the kindergarten. - Yes.
I heard you were meeting here, so I came to say hello.
Oh, and since I'm moving in,
let me treat you to chicken and beer tonight.
You're really friendly.
Working mums must strive harder...
to become friends with full-time mums.
Wow.
Okay, this all looks good.
Everyone's name tags are here.
Thank you.
- Did you check everything? - Yes.
- Are you sure? - Yes.
Look at the time.
We checked everything, so let's get going.
I'm leaving.
Wait, who said that you can leave?
Aren't you supposed to work late the day before our new launch?
You let Mr Koo go home just now.
He's the eldest son in his family.
How can he miss the memorial service?
I made calls to all the bloggers and reporters,
and everything we need will be there at 9am tomorrow morning.
Is there anything else I must do?
What if something happens after you leave? What then?
I need to go and pick up my daughter.
If you are so worried about your daughter,
why did you return after your maternity leave?
You should have been a stay-at-home mum if you have a child.
Just let her go.
What's the use of keeping someone that wants to leave?
Yes, Ho Ya. What's the matter?
What?
Why can't you make it?
Okay, see you next time.
That's just great.
A blogger cancels on us the day before the launching.
I'll find a substitute.
Where do you think you're going? Find somebody and report it to me.
Sir, I have to go pick up my daughter!
It's 8pm already.
I'll do it for her.
You can go home.
Are you the one in charge of the bloggers?
She's in charge.
Once I get home, I'll make sure to find...
Jin Seong, back us up.
I can't work with these women with their child rearing issues.
Ms Joo dropped by earlier to check.
Did she already?
Hey, why are you on your own? Where's Ms Joo?
We have enough men here. We don't need to bother a woman.
This is so different from Mi So's situation.
What happened to Mi So?
A blogger turned her down so she's still at work finding a replacement.
Why would you tell me that now, you punk?
I told you as soon as I saw you.
Gosh.
I'll take care of it. You two can get started.
He's going to cause a commotion again.
My goodness.
Yes.
I have no excuse for this.
I'm so sorry.
I know it's really late,
but I have nobody else who can look after Bang Geul.
I'll be there within an hour.
I'll be there in an hour no matter what.
I'm so sorry.
I'm sorry.
- Yes. - Is that scumbag inside?
Aren't you supposed to be at the venue?
I'm here to find a blogger on behalf of Ms Lee.
Why would you do that?
Give me the list of bloggers and go home, Ms Lee.
Why would you make that decision?
Her child is still at the kindergarten on her own.
You punk, what else is next?
This is why your wife has no manners.
- Do you know what your nickname is? - I have a nickname?
They call you Gutter Kim, Dirty Kim...
- and even Scumbag Kim. - What?
The problem here is that all three are equally liked by the employees.
But the third one is the most popular.
Have you lost your mind while preparing to launch a new product?
If you're going to say it anyway, can't you be a little bit nicer?
There's a reason why all our employees call you...
- by the three nicknames. - Are you done?
I'm not.
I have this sweet dream every night.
You're the new employee standing in front of me. Then I go,
"You punk."
- "You are a total joke." Then... - Oh, gosh.
I'll finish my business now.
Where's the list of bloggers, Ms Lee?
Ms Lee, are you going to let your husband do this for you?
Look at you punks.
Oh, my goodness!
What now?
Gosh, I'm bleeding.
I'm late.
I'm sorry. I don't think I can make it.
Yes.
I have no choice.
I know.
I'm so sorry.
I took too long.
You made it.
I'm so sorry.
I've been busy at work recently.
I understand but please try to make it by 8pm.
I won't be late from now on.
Please take this.
You didn't have to do this.
My bad. I fell on my way here.
The whipped cream got smudged. It should taste the same though.
I'm so sorry.
Are you upset, Bang Geul?
Bang Geul, I won't be late from now on.
Bang Geul.
My teacher was supposed to go somewhere.
Was she?
I'm sorry.
This won't happen again.
Do you promise?
I promise.
Mummy, you're bleeding.
I am.
Doesn't it hurt? You need some medicine.
You're all grown up.
You're already thinking about me.
Let's get going.
- I know. - Exactly, right?
- What? - I'll take you out again.
That sounds good.
What is she doing here?
I'm going to take these myself.
Is that how much you like them?
Of course.
I've had these for so long.
Mum's home. Run to your room.
Run. Run!
Go inside.
Why are you home?
I thought you had a meeting.
Well,
we decided to meet tomorrow.
We are hiring people to pack our belongings.
Why would you give yourself more work to do?
It'll make things easier for them if we organise things first.
What is Min Ho doing?
He's been studying for about two hours.
Don't try to fool me. The television is still warm.
That was me. I was watching it.
Why is the rice cake out? I told you not to feed him snacks.
What am I supposed to do? He's hungry all the time.
I think Min Ho will grow very tall.
You can go home.
I'll just finish this.
I can finish up. You should go.
You did enough for today.
I'll come back tomorrow to do the rest, so just leave them.
I told you to stop listening to that music.
I smell alcohol.
Mum, did you drink again?
I had a glass of beer.
Mum, what does alcohol taste like?
I'm dying to know.
Please give the same attention to your books.
Whatever.
How does 18 times 4 equal 78?
Isn't it 78?
Then, what is it?
- It's 72. - What?
Really?
Why? 8 times 1 is 8, 8 times 2 is 16.
And 8 times 3 is 24, 8 times 4 is 48?
8 times 1 is 8...
Sisineung World...
Mrs Country Bumpkin...
Shogi...
Hi. Do you have any good news?
Any luck with Shogi?
- Mummy. - Shush.
What about Mrs Country Bumpkin?
I'm going on a school trip tomorrow.
We're doomed.
Should I try contacting Mrs Cinderella?
She doesn't usually attend social events.
Can you make me tuna gimbap?
Right, leave a comment on her blog.
My nickname is Sorry Mum.
Okay, got it.
This...
Hello, is this Hwiarin?
(Mrs Cinderella's Recipes)
(Healthy Recipes, Making a Cake with My Daughter)
"Sorry Mom"?
Why are you sorry, Mi So?
Hello.
I'm at a working mum with a seven-year-old daughter.
I wanted to work while raising my child,
but I haven't been successful at either of them.
Once I return home after work,
I have more work to do at home.
Sometimes, I feel like it's more than I can handle,
so I collapse on the spot and cry.
At those times, I always visit your blog.
(Mrs Cinderella's Recipes)
I'm so envious of you. Your life seems so happy.
But as I go through your blog, I feel hope rising within me.
Someday, I may be able to live like you.
Thank you for giving me the strength to go on.
Is this true, Mi So?
(Hello, This is Sorry Mum.)
(Mrs Cinderella's Recipes)
It's Sorry Mum.
(Hello, This is Sorry Mum.)
What is this recipe contest?
Why are you here?
Is it that surprising to see me coming back home?
I thought you had a seminar in Suwon.
The hotel was awful, so I came home.
Why do you have a laptop?
Well,
I wanted to find information for Eun Sol's upcoming tests,
so I bought one.
That's a prestigious school which I went to.
So what?
Do you really think you'd be able to find information that would help?
It's only a test for elementary school kids.
Just make sure Eun Sol gets to school.
There is one more thing which you should be concerned about.
- What is it? - Give me food.
It's so late.
Why? Should I be imprisoned...
for being hungry at 12:30am?
No, I'll make something.
What's wrong?
These are yesterday's leftovers.
It's too late to make new dishes right now.
The congress must be very hard at work.
What are you saying?
I mean, they've made a law saying housewives can't cook...
new dishes late at night, right?
I'm glad I'm paying their salary with my taxes.
I'll make you something new.
Call me when you're done.
Sorry Mum,
thank you for inviting me to a great event.
Will Mrs Cinderella really be there?
This is such a relief.
Yes, thank you.
What's wrong with me?
I'm so tired.
Bang Geul, why aren't you eating?
I'm not hungry.
Why aren't you hungry?
Eat up, okay?
- Come on. - I don't want to.
Breakfast is the most important meal of the day.
Please, I really can't be late today.
Open wide.
I don't want to eat.
All right.
Good girl.
Let's have one more bite.
Come on.
Did you make tuna gimbap?
What are you talking about?
Why do you need gimbap?
I told you that it's our picnic day today.
Why didn't you tell me earlier?
I told you yesterday when you were on the phone.
- Did you? - Didn't you make it?
I'll buy some for you.
No, you have to make it.
All of my friends bring gimbap made by their mums.
I can't make it right now.
We don't even have the ingredients.
You're awful, Mum.
I'm sorry, Bang Geul.
Bang Geul.
Yes.
- Mum, my stomach hurts. - We're on our way.
Yes. What?
Come quickly. Hold my hand.
Where? I see it.
Hello.
Hello, Bang Geul.
- Hello. - I'm so sorry. We're really late.
- See you later. - See you.
Bang Geul, get in.
Come on.
You can't come, can you?
Yes.
I have something really important at work.
Work is the only important thing for you.
I'm sorry, Bang Geul.
Goodbye.
See you later, my son.
Bye, see you.
- Bye. - See you later.
Bang Geul looks disappointed.
I feel sorry for her.
You should've taken a day off.
Shouldn't you sacrifice a bit for your child, too?
I'm sorry. Work has been hectic these days.
Let's go get the teacher's lunch and some drinks for the kids.
- I'll drive. - Let's go.
- Goodbye. - Bye.
I really want to stop saying that I'm sorry.
My goodness, I'm late.
Hello, what's your screen name?
My goodness, you're here. Nice to meet you.
You can go in this way.
(A Recipe Contest for Bloggers)
Everyone will be surprised, right?
They'll be surprised to see that it wasn't a contest.
I think so, too.
I think everyone is here.
We're waiting for Mrs Cinderella.
She said she was coming.
(Mrs Cinderella)
Yes, hello?
What happened? Is Mrs Cinderella there?
Not yet.
That's weird.
She did say that she was coming.
It's Mr Kim. Hang up.
- Hello, Sir. - Hello.
Thanks for your hard work.
Where's the substitute?
- She's not here yet. - I thought so.
You even interfered with your husband's work.
- This is why a man should marry... - Let's go.
My goodness.
I'm seriously going to knock him out and quit working as of today.
What will you do about your rent?
You told me that your landlord wants you to pay monthly rent now.
Mi So,
I heard one of the bloggers didn't show up.
If you're so worried, you should stand in for her.
I need to manage the event.
Your son's sports day must have ended early.
I didn't need to stay to the end.
I just needed to participate in a couple of races.
By the way, the first place prize was really excellent.
It was a USB.
Things must be so easy for her.
Let's see.
Did you bring anything good?
Of course. I brought gimbap.
Play rock-paper-scissors.
My goodness, did you make these?
My gosh.
That's so pretty.
- Why don't you try one? - Make sure to chew well.
What would you like?
Do you want gimbap or chobap?
Open your mouth.
You eat so well.
Bang Geul, have some water.
Here, take this.
I'm fine.
You should drink some water.
- Have some water. - Eat this, too.
Is it good?
He eats so well.
- He does, doesn't he? - He does.
Hey, that was disgusting.
My gosh, how could you throw up there?
Are you okay?
Ma'am.
My head really hurts.
Mummy.
- I want my mum. - What's your mum's number?
I'll call her.
Mummy.
(A Recipe Contest for Bloggers)
- Did you take a lot of pictures? - I did.
That was good, wasn't it?
I prepared something, too.
- I saw that. - Have you taken other pictures?
I took a lot of pictures.
That's amazing.
What will you do with this?
May I have your attention please. Thank you for coming.
My name is Kim Jae Min. I'm from the Marketing Team,
and I'll be your host for today. Nice to meet you.
All right.
Have you prepared your best recipe?
- Yes. - Yes.
I'm sorry to say this,
but I don't think it'll be of much use to you today.
- How come? - Why?
The entire country knows that all of you here...
are as good as any chef.
But aren't you sick of cooking all the time?
- He's right. - I know.
That's why LITZ Electronics is here...
to give you what you need.
The star chef, Mr Choi Hong Seung...
will serve you his best dish.
Please welcome Mr Choi Hong Seung!
This is so decorative.
This is so fresh.
Isn't this amazing?
She didn't end up coming.
Did Bang Geul get back from her trip?
Why do I have so many missed calls?
Hello.
Yes, I'm Bang Geul's mum.
Who's this?
What?
I'm so sorry.
I was at work so I couldn't pick up my phone.
I'm on my way. I'm sorry.
- I'm sorry. - Honey.
What's wrong?
- Bang Geul had an upset stomach. - What?
She threw up all day so Sang Gu's mum took her to the hospital.
- How did this happen? - It's all my fault.
I made her stuff her sandwich down in the morning.
What is it now? Why are you both out here?
I need to leave early today.
Stay here. I'll go.
Are you out of your mind?
We're in the middle of our launching show.
You can fire me if you want!
Darn it.
I'm sorry.
(Emergency Medical Centre)
Bang Geul!
(Working Mum Stay Home Dad)
I'm sorry. It's all my fault.
Did you think you'd live happily after dumping a man like him?
It can't be, right? It can't be.
What?
