(Episode 9)
(Ambulance)
- Why is there an ambulance? - Exactly.
It's Bang Geul's grandma.
My goodness.
- Mum. - Grandma.
Is she hurt?
My goodness.
- Please be gentle. - Mr Kim.
- Hello. - My goodness.
- Is she hurt? - Goodness.
She hurt her back as she laid Ga Ram down.
Oh, no. That's bad news.
- Bang Geul, get in. - Mr Kim,
- they can stay at my house. - What?
Do that. You'll be too troubled...
to take care of your children.
- I'm so sorry. - Hand Ga Ram to me.
Well, then.
- If it's not too much to ask. - Sure.
Let's go.
Ga Ram's stuff are at my house.
- Okay. - Don't strain yourself.
We'll let them sleep over if it's necessary.
Bang Geul, I'll be back soon.
Okay.
- Thank you. - Sure.
I hope it's nothing bad.
I hope so.
(This new one is the bestselling product among all of our products.)
(I believe it is enough to be popular in Japan, too.)
(Is that right? My wife really loves your new product.)
(Really? That's a relief.)
What is he saying?
His wife also loves our new product.
Really?
That's amazing.
- Yes. - It is.
Please, enjoy your drink.
Thank you.
- Thank you very much. - Sure.
Bang Geul, how did your entrance ceremony go?
It went well,
but Grandma hurt her back.
What? What happened?
It happened while she tried to lay Ga Ram in his bed.
Dad and Grandma took an ambulance to the hospital.
My goodness.
Bang Geul, let me talk to her.
Mum, hold on.
Hello, this is Mr Cha.
Oh, hello.
Your children will sleep over at my house,
so don't worry, okay?
I'm so sorry.
Thank you very much.
What is going on?
Honey, what happened? I heard Mother hurt her back.
Why didn't you tell me?
Why would I call someone who's working in Japan?
Don't worry about us, and finish your schedule well.
Come on.
I will take my days off, so don't worry.
Okay.
It's difficult for even you young people to raise children.
Will you take the responsibility if my back gives out?
I'm sorry, Mum.
Ga Ram.
- Wow, look at his fingers. - Look at me.
They're so tiny, Dad.
He's really cute.
Dad, I want a brother, too.
Ask your mum.
Let's all go out and let the baby sleep.
What are you all doing here?
Hello.
Oh, hello.
- What happened? - I'll tell you.
Come outside.
Just come.
Come here.
Hurry.
Don't say anything. It was an emergency.
Why are you so serious?
Because I know you'd hate it. I am going to take charge.
What's going on?
Ms Lee's back gave out, so she went to a hospital.
What's their dad doing?
He's at the hospital, of course.
And their mum is on a business trip.
- Min Ho's tutor will be here soon. - My goodness.
He can skip a day.
This isn't a day-care centre.
Watch your language. They'll hear you.
My goodness.
What was that?
Ga Ram.
It's okay.
You look much more like your mum as you grow.
Ga Ram, are you having trouble sleeping because of me?
Is that right?
- Ga Ram. - He must be hungry.
Is that so?
Gosh.
My eyes are bleary. What should I do?
This...
- I'll do it. - Okay.
- Can you do it? - I just need 160ml.
Really?
My gosh.
He's so loud. I can't sleep.
Why is he so carefree?
Goodness.
Bang Geul, you're all grown up now.
You know how to make Ga Ram's milk. Okay, Ga Ram.
- Ga Ram. - I will take care of Ga Ram...
so that my mum can work.
Gosh, you're so mature!
Min Ho must have been tired.
My dad snores a lot, too.
Ga Ram, don't snore a lot when you grow up.
If you snore a lot, you can't fall into a deep sleep.
Oh, dear. You're such a nice girl.
Ga Ram, good boy.
Good boy.
(Gwanghye University Hospital)
Please take good care of my mum.
She sounds offensive at times, but she's good at heart.
- All right. - Thanks.
To whom are you speaking ill about me?
Did you wake up?
How's your back?
Don't you have eyes of your own?
I can't move an inch.
- I'll get some water. - Thank you.
Who's that woman?
She's a caretaker in the hospital.
Do you have money to waste? Why do I need a caretaker?
The kids are at Min Ho's.
I have to look after them today.
I can't stay here with a stranger.
- Call Mi So. - Oh, gosh.
You know she's on a work trip.
She'll be back tomorrow evening.
Goodness.
There's not a slightest thing I like about her.
How long do I have to be lying here?
You sprained your back.
They say you had a sudden shock in your back.
You need to be hospitalised for at least three weeks.
That long?
I'm going to suffocate in here.
Can't you keep it down?
Excuse me.
Can you please keep your mouth shut?
Why? Can't I even talk with my own mouth?
You're going to hurt yourself more if you shout like that.
- Thank you for the meal. - All right. Dig in.
Go ahead.
Wow, this stew is so tasty.
- I used a special sauce to make it. - Dad, do we have stir-fried pork?
Leftovers from yesterday.
- Son, you want meat for breakfast? - Come on, Dad.
- I always crave meat. - Okay, I'll make them right now.
My goodness.
Oh, dear.
Why did you come so soon, Mr Kim?
Dad's here.
I couldn't take time because of my kids.
- Dad! - Bang Geul.
- Hello. - Thank you for yesterday.
I was fine. My mother-in-law did everything.
- I'll take Ga Ram. - It's okay.
- He's sleeping. - You'll hurt your back.
He's sleeping well. Don't wake him up.
Just take him later.
Don't you have to send Bang Geul to school?
I didn't want to bother you too much.
Did you eat breakfast, by the way?
I'm okay.
What do you mean? You probably didn't eat at all yesterday.
Have a bite.
Come on. You don't look okay.
- Well, then. Thank you. - Come on in.
Is this your breakfast every day?
Isn't this normal?
- Is it? - Il Mok is an excellent cook.
I see.
Try some. I recommend this stir-fried pork.
All right.
- Gosh! - I know that face.
I'm used to it.
Try some kimchi as well. It's ripened just right.
Okay. Thank you.
Did Ms Joo leave for work already?
She goes for swimming every morning.
She's trying to watch her body.
I see.
Is Grandma really sick?
She's going to be in the hospital for three weeks.
She's going to get bored.
She'll get well soon once she gets treated.
But she'll have to be careful.
Then who would look after Ga Ram?
Don't worry. I'll take care of it.
Let's do a cheer. This is your first official day in school.
Smile today!
There!
See you later.
- Pay attention to your teacher. - Yes.
- Bye, Dad. - Bye.
She's in my class.
Hello, you are in class two, right?
- I'm in the same class. - Really?
Let's be good friends.
Sure.
That's the wrong spot.
It's more...
- to the bottom. - Here?
Why don't you understand what I'm trying to say?
Mother.
Why are you here?
I thought you were coming back tomorrow evening.
I couldn't focus on work with you injured.
It's good that you're here. Have a seat and scratch my legs.
- It's so itchy. - Okay.
Thank you for everything.
Why would you thank her? She gets paid for it.
- I'll be outside. - Sure.
- Come on. - Gosh.
I'm sorry, Mother. It's because of Ga Ram.
Who are you blaming? It's your fault.
- Sorry? - I told you to move the bed.
I told you I'd injure my back.
- I'm sorry. - The doctor said...
my back might hurt again.
I don't need anything from you.
Stop being stubborn and stay at home now.
My back is injured,
so who's going to look after Ga Ram?
I know. You can't look after him any more.
You need to know this.
I did enough for you.
It must have been difficult for you to look after an infant at your age.
Sorry, I asked too much of you.
My goodness.
Don't make me emotional. You should get going.
Jae Min can't look after the baby on his own.
- Hello. - Mum!
- Welcome back. - Mum!
- Mum! - Hey!
- Goodness. - How was your day?
- Bye. - See you later.
- Bye! - See you.
- Let's go. - How was your day?
- Let's go together. - Okay.
Dad, Ga Ram got water in his nose.
Really? Why is it so difficult to bathe him?
Dad, hold him. I'll wash him.
Be careful.
- Bang Geul, Mum's home. - Mum!
What happened? I thought you were coming back tomorrow.
I finished the meeting ahead of time.
I dropped by the hospital on the way.
She gave you an earful, right?
Move over. I'll do it.
We're almost done.
You didn't wash here yet.
Move over.
I'll do it.
You two, don't worry.
Ga Ram, Mummy will wash you.
- Oh, dear. - Is that right?
Is that right, Ga Ram? All right.
- It's okay, Ga Ram. - Mummy's back.
Don't cry.
How was school, Eun Sol?
It was fun. I made so many friends.
That's not what I was asking.
How were your classes?
It's our first day, so we didn't do much.
Don't take it lightly. Pay attention, okay?
Okay.
So Eun Sol, what are your friends' names?
Bang Geul, Yu Ra...
and Min Ho.
You have to pick the right friends.
Bad friends will give you trouble.
Okay.
Yes.
You should manage Eun Sol's friends.
- Pardon? - You should look into...
who their parents are and what they do.
We didn't do that when she was in kindergarten.
That was an English kindergarten, and this is a public school.
It's whole different level.
Before she transfers to a private school, get to know other parents,
and let her hang out with kids from good families.
That should be one of your abilities as a mum.
Sure.
Make sure you don't spill any information on academies.
That includes her tutors, too.
Gosh.
Hello, Sorry Mum. I was about to give you a call.
Yes.
My daughter just entered elementary school,
so I wanted to shoot it as soon as we can.
Can we meet tomorrow? I have to tell you something as well.
Yes, I'll see you at 1pm at the conference room tomorrow.
Okay, goodbye.
Are you going to work tomorrow?
Yes, I have to. I have to take care of some stuff.
You took your day off, right?
- Yes. - It's for just one more day.
- Don't say that. - Right, Honey.
Why don't we have some beer?
It's been over a year since I had beer.
Okay.
I will prepare some dried filefish and peanuts.
I'll be there in a minute.
- All right. - Cheers.
Wow, this is so good.
I really missed this.
Didn't you drink in Japan?
I was working. How could I drink?
Oh, things went pretty well on this business trip.
I knew you'd do well.
You know what?
- I don't think my mum can... - Let's not talk about it.
Just for a day.
Let's keep things cheerful just for a day.
Okay, things will work out.
Of course.
That's what life is.
Cheers.
Goodness. This is so refreshing.
(Human Resources Team)
Good morning.
I don't feel so great. I didn't get to sightsee Tokyo because of you.
I'm sorry.
Ms Joo.
Thank you very much...
for taking care of my children under such an emergency.
Who did?
Ms Joo took care of your children?
Wow, can people change that abruptly?
I owe you so much, Ms Joo.
That won't happen again.
You sound like you'll never see me again.
How can that happen? We are neighbours.
I sincerely thank you.
Mrs Cinderella will be here today.
I will organise a shooting schedule.
- Why? - Don't you have...
- any souvenirs? - Of course, I do.
Here is my warm heart. You can keep it.
What was that about?
How much longer will it take until you mature enough to marry?
- Are you going for a lecture? - Yes.
- I'll be back. - Okay.
Il Mok, wait.
Hello?
This is Mr Cha Il Mok's mobile phone.
I am Professor Cha's teaching assistant.
He left his laptop at the office.
I'll send it home. Could you tell me the address?
Could you hand it to him at school?
He doesn't teach here any more.
What do you mean?
He just went out for work.
- You didn't know. I'll call back. - Excuse me! Hello?
I didn't get to lie until now because it was during the break,
but what will I do from now on?
Should I work part-time as a delivery man?
My gosh.
(Minjok Gimbap is looking for part-time workers.)
(We're hiring a kitchen assistant, a server and a delivery man.)
Il Mok,
what will you do?
Are you requesting a childcare leave?
My mother-in-law took care of my second child,
but she recently got hurt.
Can't you...
look for a babysitter?
It's really difficult to find a babysitter.
They don't want to work at a house where there are two children,
and even if they do,
I'll end up spending more money than my salary.
And there are not many day-care centres that allow infants.
But still...
You said much damage was done to your career because of that.
What can I do?
Ms Joo will take it from here.
Here is your schedule.
I don't want to do this...
without you.
Come on.
You wanted to be a confident mum to your daughter.
Ms Joo is great to work with.
You can trust her.
I'm very disappointed.
Mrs Cinderella, will you not see me ever again?
I will have a lot of time when I go on my leave.
Cheer up, Sorry Mum.
I will.
I will cheer up to raise my children well.
Did Mrs Cinderella leave?
Yes.
Ms Joo, take this.
Collaboration schedule?
Why are you giving this to me? You are in charge of this.
You'll need to take the project.
What are you talking about?
Mrs Cinderella said she will only work with you.
I requested a childcare leave.
My mother-in-law hurt her back,
so I have no one to take care of my son.
How could you request a leave without my permission?
I knew you'd only tell me...
to resign from my position.
I requested it to Mr Kwon of the human resources team.
Do you think he will approve it?
I thoroughly explained my situation to him.
You can't just come back and leave work whenever you'd like.
This is why I hate women.
- They always do this. - Hey.
Is Ms Lee going on a leave because she wants to?
No one is there to take care of her children.
This country is so incompetent...
when it comes to supporting childcare.
You're going off on a huge scale.
But you can never speak up in front of your bosses.
Do you want me to sign you up for a meeting with the president?
Well...
My gosh.
- What a loser! - My goodness.
You will definitely get fired for requesting a childcare leave.
If the company is okay with it,
I'll step up to fire you.
If you fire me,
I'm fired. What can I do?
Dung Kim, that jerk.
Hey, Kim Jae Min.
What are you going to do with Mi So?
What's going on, Mr Yoo?
What?
I'm back, Mother.
Welcome back. You must be hungry. Sit down.
Okay.
This is too much for me.
You must be tired, so you should eat a lot to get energy.
I braised some kimchi which is your favourite.
- Here you are. It'll be delicious. - Okay.
Thank you, Mother.
Wow.
This is good.
Eat slowly.
Hello, Mr Kim.
Yes, it's okay. What is it?
I am so sorry, but you're the only one I could turn to.
I'm fine. Where are your kids?
Bang Geul went to an academy, and Ga Ram is asleep in the room.
It won't take long.
I don't mind if it does.
Il Mok is home.
I'm so sorry.
- You said it was urgent. Hurry up. - Okay.
I'm sorry.
My goodness.
Oh, my.
What's so urgent that he even burnt his shirt?
Oh, dear.
Hey.
So you requested for a childcare leave.
Trumpet Yoo must have told you.
Would you like some juice?
The design for this project is faring well.
Mr Park from the design team is so crafty.
Here you go.
What's wrong?
It's okay, Mi So.
You did your best.
I just wanted to live an ordinary life.
I wanted to get married, have kids...
and work while raising my kids.
But was that too much to ask?
What upsets me the most...
is that I have nobody to blame.
They all have their reasons.
My husband, I...
and even my mother-in-law...
tried our best,
but why is life so difficult?
It's so hard.
This is too hard for me.
(Working Mum Stay Home Dad)
I finally know why Mi So's nickname is Sorry Mum.
What are you planning to do with Mi So?
There's no one to look after Ga Ram.
I'm sorry. I should have done this from the beginning.
Please withdraw her childcare leave.
Is he out of his mind?
Mrs Cinderella?
I don't want others to know about my work.
It's working out better than I thought.
Do you know who he is?
He's a professor!
He's making a huge mistake.
What are you doing here?
He's requesting to take a childcare leave.
Sorry?
