Why are you out here together?
I thought you went home.
Well, it's just...
Well...
Your mother babysat Bang Geul for us.
- What? - Mr Kim,
- do you know my daughter, Ye Eun? - I do.
She's my junior at work.
Do you and your wife work at the same place, then?
We do.
I was so thankful, so I came out to grab a taxi for her.
Come with me. I'll grab a taxi for you.
Then, I'll see you later.
- Again, thank you very much. - Don't mention it.
Hey, Ye Eun.
Ye Eun, I'm fine. You can go home.
Why did you do that for?
You should've taken care of Min Ho if you had the time.
You two were both home.
I ran into Bang Geul's mother on my way out.
I don't like you going in and out of that house.
Why? Are you on bad terms with them?
They seemed like good people.
Then I must be the bad one.
What I'm saying is...
Mother.
You're still here.
I'm going home.
Hey.
What happened?
It's nothing.
Did you get into a fight because of me?
We didn't fight.
Ye Eun...
thinks of you like her father.
She may sound cold,
but she respects you a lot with her heart.
She lost her father when she was young,
so she's not used to fatherly love.
She doesn't know what to do when you get angry.
Please be understanding.
Don't worry, Mother.
Let's go. I'll keep you company to the bus stop.
Thank you, Il Mok.
- All right. - Let's go.
Why aren't you sleeping?
You must be tired.
I feel...
uneasy being here at the hospital.
People like me should try and avoid staying at a hospital.
You should spend a few days at my house when you're discharged.
Why? Will you make me work?
I need you there to give you nutritious meals.
Nutritious meals?
You're a horrible cook.
I must take after you.
You had to say that, didn't you?
How's your morning sickness?
I'm doing okay so far.
It has to be a son this time.
We need him to carry on the family name.
I'm going to sleep.
I'm thankful that you are okay.
I thought you went through a more serious operation.
Wouldn't your life be better without a nagging old lady around?
I don't have my own mother.
So I need you in my life as a mother figure.
Stop being so emotional.
You should go to sleep, too.
I need to finish this.
Good night.
Why would you need to work here?
I'll get in trouble if I don't do this right.
I must present myself well...
to go on my maternity leave later.
Is she trying to make me help with her second child?
Should I just do that?
No way.
What if I become ill while taking care of their children?
- That hurts, Dad. - What?
I'm sorry.
All right.
Dad, you can't leave out these strands.
Did I do that?
Why is it so difficult to tie your hair?
Mum, tie my hair.
Dad is really bad at this.
I'll do it for you.
Why did you come home?
I was going to stop by. I even packed your underwear.
Mother fell asleep, so I came home. I wanted to take a shower.
Bang Geul, I'll take you to the kindergarten.
So, go and get your bag.
Okay.
Right, it looks like Joo Ye Eun...
is on bad terms with her mother.
- Why? - I met her on my way out,
and they didn't seem very close.
Apparently, mothers and daughters love and hate each other.
I wouldn't know though.
They're complaining about nothing.
Do you know how lonely it is to be without a mother?
Is that so?
My dear Mi So,
you should never be so lonely.
It's Bang Geul.
Bang Geul is here.
- Hello. - Hi, Bang Geul.
- Hello. - Hello.
- Hello, Ms Lee. - Do you know each other?
She's my superior at work.
My gosh, really?
You can send your kids over on Saturdays.
I'll take them to the art museum...
and feed them dinner, too.
Thank you, Ms Joo.
You are both working mums, but you two are very different.
You're highly interested in Min Ho's education,
and you also take good care of his friends.
A lot of working mums don't care about full time mums,
but they shouldn't do that.
Shouldn't the one who is too busy to mingle...
try to make friends first?
Ms Lee, you should care more, too.
Otherwise, Bang Geul won't make any friends.
Absolutely, my friend.
My friend?
Why are you beating around the bush?
Well, Mr Oh.
It's just...
It's an approval request for the launching party.
Why did you bring me this old form?
Could you take a look at the supplier?
Did you know that it changed from Youngjin Industry...
to Daehan Electronics?
I knew.
May I ask why it changed?
Do you know how many products were refunded with the last model?
We always get some refunds on every model.
The problem is that it was 10 times more than the previous one.
That's all from Youngjin Industry.
Did that really happen?
It's great to question things,
but make sure you have the right information.
He's the one who questioned this.
I like your attitude.
Good employees think of and care for the company as if it were theirs.
I asked him to question you. It was me.
Why don't we grab a drink sometimes?
Sure.
Please let me join you, too.
Goodbye.
It's me. I think Kim Jae Min is going to look for you.
That's right.
Avoid him as much as you can,
and say the right things if you ever see him.
Hold on.
Have this.
Dr Park, you're such a gentleman.
You should learn from him.
This is why I hate couple's get together.
We always get into a fight after we meet up.
It's the same for us, too.
This isn't a difficult thing to do.
Treat your wife well and your life will treat you well, too.
Right, I heard Mrs Park graduated from the University of Tokyo.
Excuse me?
How did you know?
You bragged about it at the last get together.
You mentioned the University of Tokyo is more difficult to get in than Seoul.
Did I?
I have nothing to brag about but her.
Not only are you pretty and smart, but you are also a good wife.
No wonder he always leaves work on time.
I heard Eun Sol is smart, too.
She takes after her mum.
Go ahead.
Why would you lie about it?
What was I supposed to do?
All the ladies there are from the Seoul National University alumni.
But you shouldn't have lied about it.
What if they find out the truth?
You won't find people who go to Japan to study anymore.
Start taking Japanese lessons from tomorrow onwards.
You need to know the basic at least.
I don't want to study. I'm not confident I'll do well.
That's nothing to be proud of.
Or I'll find you a good private tutor.
Isn't putting Eun Sol in tutoring more than enough?
Stop nagging. Just listen to what I say.
You can never go wrong that way.
How much more do I have to take?
(This is Seohak Publishing. Have you made up your mind about your book?)
Welcome home.
- Hello. - Hi.
Are you done with today's lesson?
Yes. Eun Sol is progressing well according to our schedule.
Let's discuss about next month's progress.
Mummy, you know Yeon Ji in my class, right?
Her mum is an English professor.
Is that right?
Her parents came for career introduction today.
They looked great.
Maybe I should be a professor and not a doctor.
I'm fine with whatever you decide to become.
Daddy says that's your problem.
You don't have a concrete goal.
Why did you never have a goal?
I'm only seven...
but my goal is to make it to the Ivy League.
You're right.
I lived my life without such goal.
Mr Kim.
I'll take childcare leave.
You said you'll only take maternity leave. What's this about?
I was planning to keep it to maternity leave...
but there's no other way.
So I wanted to tell you ahead of time.
Nobody has ever used childcare leave twice in our company.
I would prefer not to have a career break.
But, there's nobody who can look after my baby.
I have no choice.
I don't need to hear your excuses.
Why don't you resign? You're causing trouble for the team.
It's not illegal to take childcare leave.
I never said it was illegal.
You are supposed to use the law the right way.
Anyone here welcomes childcare leave?
I can resign and raise my child if I wanted to.
But what about later?
If we don't both work, we can't raise two children.
Stop whining.
Am I your brother? Or your dad?
I expected this from you when I thought about taking a break.
So instead of one year,
I'll take six months.
That'll be all I need to send my child to daycare.
Mi So.
Why did you change your mind?
It's too expensive to hire a babysitter.
We hardly make enough to cover our living expenses.
We can't hire a babysitter.
I have no choice but to take a career break.
We'll have to endure.
I feel so heavy.
(8 months later)
When are you going to hand in the proposal?
I'm working night and day on it. Give me more time.
Give you more time?
You must be full of yourself after completing one show launching.
My stomach is full already.
And are you proud of it?
I'd rather not see your belly sticking out.
Where are you going now?
You said you didn't want to see me.
I'll drop by the Apgujeong branch and head straight home.
Why do you keep pouncing on my words?
You don't care anymore. Is that it?
Hey, watch what you say.
What do you mean she doesn't care? Why are you being harsh?
- Gosh, how insane. - How mean!
Ms Lee, can you do this for me?
What is it?
Parking ticket?
It's on your way out, right?
I'm heading to the conference room for a meeting.
If my baby is premature, it's because of her.
Look.
How naive.
Why would she volunteer herself to be a personal helper?
- What's this for? - I have to head to the bank.
Really? Then, can you do me a favour?
You don't need to be her pet.
What choice do I have? She's my superior so I have to obey her.
I'll get going.
If you keep doing this, I won't help you anymore.
My goodness.

Why didn't this come to my mind earlier?
(Project Proposal for Mrs Cinderella Collaboration)
(Blogger Mrs Cinderella)
Work is endless.
Mi So.
Mi So?
When did you get back?
Why are you sleeping here? You are pregnant.
I was working on the proposal.
- What time is it? - It's past midnight.
- Go inside and sleep. - Okay.
There. Watch yourself.
There you go.
My feet are numb.
Don't worry, Mi So.
I'll convince Mum.
Why are you here? You never said you were coming.
Hey, you don't know what you are doing.
Quit it!
That's not how you do it.
For goodness' sake.
Stop it.
Why are you doing this?
Are you out of your mind?
Get up now!
Please. It's just six months.
If you babysit for six months, I won't ask for more.
Is this some type of a protest so that I'd look after your baby?
If Mi So takes childcare leave,
she'll be pushed to the bottom of the food chain at work.
She'll be losing out a lot.
You can do this all day and see if I'd budge.
- Are you going to keep doing this? - It's only six months.
We can send the baby to daycare after.
It's cold.
You are here, Jae Min.
Hello.
Mum.
What's he doing?
I don't know.
Come on.
My love for you is
Always unconditional
My love for you is
Always the best kind
He must be insane.
I will cross the Pacific, I will cross the Atlantic
And I will cross the Indian Ocean
If you call me, I'll be there
I will be there unconditionally
What is this every weekend?
I won't give up until you agree to take care of my children.
Is it your plan to follow me around wherever I go?
- That's the plan. - All right, then.
Try all you can.
(Public bath)
What is this?
She's being smart.
(Public bath)
Get up.
Get up this instant!
Fine. I will take care of your children.
- Really? - What did you just hear?
Could you write me a note?
You idiot.
Thank you, Mum.
Get lost.
Let go of me.
I will never forget this.
Get out of here.
Did your wife make you do this?
Did she say that I will say yes to you?
Mi So doesn't know about this.
I'm sorry to ask you to do this. I know things are difficult for you.
Whatever. You don't mean that.
Can you imagine how desperate we must be?
We have to wait two years...
to get into a public childcare facility.
Even private ones won't accept them until they're six months old.
And we don't even know if they have a place.
It's only for six months.
After six months,
you two are on your own.
Mum, you're the best.
- Come here, Mum. - You are crazy.
Mum, I will...
become a great son from now on.
- Whatever. - Thank you.
Look at the picture, and draw as many circles as the picture.
Can you do this?
That's right.
Where have you been going on the weekends?
What is it?
Did something happen?
Something did happen.
What is it? What happened?
My mum...
What's wrong? Is she hurt?
She will come here...
to take care of our second child.
What?
Hence, you don't need to take childcare leave.
You can go back to work right after your maternity leave.
- Are you serious? - Of course.
She did hit me when I asked her to write a written consent,
but she said yes.
- This is a great news. - My goodness.
- Watch out. - I'm fine.
See? I told you to trust me.
How did you persuade her?
She never would've said yes.
I knew no parents would disagree with their children.
Are we going to live with Grandma?
Yes, just for six months.
She's scary.
She's not a scary person.
It's just the tone of her voice.
She's not scary at all.
This is such a relief.
I was really stressed out about this.
You can just go on your maternity leave, then.
Why would I do that now?
I'm going to use two weeks of vacation.
There's no way you'll recover within two weeks.
Do you know how much I suffered...
from using all my leaves for Bang Geul?
I'm going back right away.
Bang Geul, this is so great.
Can you be a good girl?
What?
What's this?

I'm finished.
My goodness.
You're still here.
Could you check for typos?
I sent it to your email.
Right now?
I need to go home.
I need to report it tomorrow.
You can leave it on my desk.
Wait.
That jerk.
Is she asking me to stay to do her work?
I'm finished.
Bang Geul, I'm coming home.
That hurt.
Oh, no.
My goodness, Ms Lee.
My gosh, your water broke.
- I need to get to the hospital. - What about your husband?
He's on a business trip.
My gosh, hold out.
- This hurts. - Just one moment.
Mother.
Could you take care of Bang Geul?
I'm going to the hospital.
Oh my gosh.
Oh, no.
(My Mi So)
Hi, Mi So.
Oh, who is this?
Hello, Ms Ok.
What?
Please.
Mi So, please be okay.
The results will be out soon.
Hold out for a little longer.
I am so sorry.
There's no need to speak.
Hello.
I think you need to go into a surgery.
A surgery?
The umbilical cord is tied around your baby's neck.
The baby's breath is giving out.
What will I do, Doctor?
Let's do the surgery, okay?
Ms Kim, page the anaesthesiologist.
- And get consent from her guardian. - Okay.
Doctor, don't let anything bad happen to my baby.
You are a mother. You need to stay strong.
What's your mother's number?
I'll call her.
I don't have one.
I'm sorry, I shouldn't have asked.
Then think of me as your mother for the day.
You can't get exhausted already.
Let me grab a cup of water for you.
Mum, you have to protect my baby.
If anything goes wrong,
I will resent you for the rest of my life.
You probably had...
your baby alone like her.
I'm sorry...
that I couldn't be there for you,
my baby.
Ms Ok.
How is everything with Mi So?
It's been 20 minutes since she went in.
It took some time for the anaesthesiologist to get to her.
I see.
- Everything will be okay, right? - Of course.
Don't worry about it.
