I just wanted to live an ordinary life.
I wanted to get married, have kids...
and work while raising 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 and I...
and even my mother-in-law...
tried our best.
But why is life so difficult?
This is too hard.
This is too much for me.
Let it all out.
After you cry it out,
you'll have the energy to live another day.
(Staff Lounge)
(Episode 10)
I thought this was your day off.
What about Ga Ram?
Where is Ga Ram?
Let go.
What's with you?
Wait a second.
(Human Resources)
What's wrong?
Why are we here?
Mr Kwon.
Please take back Ms Lee's request for childcare leave.
What are you doing? This is a done deal.
Ms Lee will keep coming to work.
Honey.
It's already difficult enough to find a replacement for her.
Don't bring your fights to me.
Decide now.
Are you going to take your leave or not?
- I will. - She won't.
I'll give you one day. Make your decision by tomorrow.
Mr Kwon,
I need to take this leave.
No one is stopping you.
But just keep this in mind.
Nobody in this company took childcare leave twice.
Don't blame me if you ever receive any disadvantages.
Mr Kwon.
What are you trying to do?
Mr Kwon.
I have a question. May I speak with you?
Mr Kwon.
Gosh.
Has he...
lost his mind?
My goodness.
What did you say to him?
You don't need to know.
What is it?
Hey, what happened?
Did you stop Mi So from taking childcare leave?
I have one day to figure this out.
What? What can you do with just one day?
I need to think about that.
My gosh, it sounds like it's over.
Everyone, clear your schedule for this evening.
Let's give Mi So a huge send-away party.
We won't see her again.
Why not?
It's not like this is the "Second Proposal".
She's taking a second childcare leave.
Did you really think that's possible?
Why aren't you going home?
I need to look into something.
Who's taking care of Ga Ram?
Ms Ok.
What?
Ms Joo will go crazy if she finds out.
I'll go back soon.
It was hard for me to make this decision.
So, don't make it any harder than it is.
Yes, Ms Ok.
I'm sorry to bother you.
No, it's okay. I was about to go back.
That why I called.
Il Mok is with Min Ho,
so I can take care of Ga Ram a little longer.
You don't have to do this.
It must've been...
something really urgent for you to leave him with me.
It's really fine with me,
so take your time.
In that case,
I'll go home with Mi So.
I might be a little late.
Don't worry about it.
I am truly sorry.
I have nothing else to say.
Don't worry, and do your business.
Okay.
Now, I understand why Mi So's screen name is...
Sorry Mum.
You really can't take a hint.
Why did you come all the way here?
How can I leave knowing that you will get completely drunk?
I feel bad for Ms Ok.
Of course, I'll be there.
- We can make it up to her. - All right.
My goodness.
Stop being so ridiculous.
I'll see you later.
All right.
Let's have a drink to fill...
our empty hearts. Gather around.
Until the day we have no pregnancies. Cheers.
- Come on. - Mr Yoo.
- Sure, I'll be there. - What are you saying?
What?
I have to go.
I have a meeting with other parents.
Dung Kim is a jerk, but at least he's a loyal guy.
How could you abandon your colleague's goodbye party?
I'll see her again.
You should get to know the other mums during your leave.
I feel so frustrated whenever I see you.
Bang Geul is a first grader now.
Do you think you can raise her well on your own?
Thank you for your advise.
Goodbye, then.
Ms Joo is very talented at saying the right things...
in the wrong way.
How do you think Mi So feels right now?
All right, guys.
My arm is giving out.
All right, gather around.
Drink up, everyone.
I've heard about Eun Sol.
I heard that she is a child prodigy.
I wouldn't say she's a prodigy.
Which academy does she go to?
Dear, it's bad manners to ask that on our first meeting.
You're right.
I'm sorry, I'm late.
It's okay, sit.
Mrs Cinderella?
Mrs Cinderella,
is your kid in the same class as ours?
Mrs Cinderella? What are you talking about?
- This is... - Wait.
May I talk to you?
- What? - Just for a second.
Excuse me,
I want to ask you for a favour.
What is it?
Please keep my work a secret.
I started this anonymously,
and I would like to keep it that way.
Okay, I'll cover for you.
Wait, Mrs Cinderella.
I am sorry about last time.
I was a little angry...
because you wouldn't meet me even with my best efforts.
I mean, we even speak badly about presidents, don't we?
Please forgive me.
Please?
Okay.
How could this happen?
Things are going rather well.
I'm sorry about that.
How do you know each other?
Oh, well...
We ran into each other...
a couple of times at the daycare centre.
She was so beautiful...
that we all called her Mrs Cinderella.
You are still very beautiful.
Why don't we have a drink?
- Of course. - Sure.
Do you not drink beer?
I'm a bit of a lightweight.
You'll get better as you drink.
The more often we meet, the better you'll get.
Yes, she's a heavy drinker.
I am not.
You are.
Okay.
My goodness.
I'm back.
Where are you going? Give me a report.
Report what?
What are Eun Sol's friends' parents like? What do they do?
How can I ask what their husbands do on our first day of meeting?
Which idiot would ask that directly?
You should lead them to bring it up themselves.
Do I have to teach you how to hold conversations?
Should I tell you what to say?
I'm a bit tired today.
You can tell me what to say next time.
I'll be sure to write it down.
Why would you write it down?
You can just record it with your mobile phone.
Your head isn't there just for decoration.
If you'd just use your brain, you'd think of these things.
- Even if you - In my opinion,
- Smile for me - you are just too lazy to think.
You can't hide your feelings
I look at you walk away
With your head held down
Bye.
Don't forget
Remember me
That's perfect! You're a singer.
Can't you applaud at least?
- I... - Okay.
tried public and private daycare,
childcare centre...
and babysitters.
- I looked into all of them. - I see.
But there's not one place...
- that will take Ga Ram. - Really?
Only people with money should have kids.
Then, why don't you just bring the baby with you?
How could I do that?
There's no daycare centre at work.
I don't know, then.
Then, stay at home for the rest of your life.
Are you sure you won't miss me?
I won't see you anyway.
You know why? Because you...
will be fired from work.
Hey.
Don't discourage me like that.
I'm going to sing
Hey, hey.
- Let go. - Don't sing.
- 8797. - Let's get some air.
- Don't sing. - Let go, Mr Yoo.
Come on.
- Why would you sing? - Why wouldn't I?
(Karaoke)
Things are going to subside soon.
When that time comes, you take care of Trumpet Yoo.
I'll take care of Mi So. All right?
What are you planning to do with Mi So?
I have an idea that's beginning to crystallise in my mind.
Do you want to hear about it?
Why aren't you saying anything?
It's not that impressive.
Isn't it?
Is it not?
I was wondering why you didn't think of that in the first place.
Is that so?
Was that it?
I'm such an idiot.
You can smile
Get started
Raise your voice
Dance your heart out
You're a superstar
Raise your voice
I thought you said things would subside.
- Be louder - Sorry.
- You're a superstar - I was too rash.
Just like this
We're home. We're at home.
Take your shoes off. Watch out.
- Ouch. - Oh, dear.
- Oh, dear. - Where's our room?
We're home.
Did she drink a lot?
We had team dinner.
Sorry for taking too long.
Don't worry. Put her to bed.
Oh, dear.
Hello, Ms Ok.
I am so thankful...
and sorry.
- Goodness. Sorry. - Ouch.
What's wrong with me?
I feel so dizzy.
- This way. - It's here.
I'm here.
Ms Ok.
You don't have to look after Ga Ram anymore.
I'm taking a childcare leave.
Is that right?
I'm not good with housekeeping,
so please teach me a lot.
Please teach me a lot.
I'm so dizzy.
Mum, lie down.
Bang Geul, my baby.
Goodness.
Mum's going to sleep now.
I'm sorry. She drank too much.
Isn't she losing out if she takes the childcare leave?
I'm going to let her go to work.
How so?
There's nobody who can look after Ga Ram.
Don't worry. I'll make it happen.
Well...
Never mind.
If I volunteer to look after Ga Ram,
Ye Eun won't sit still.
For every household,
raising kids seems to be a battle.
I'm sorry.
I should have done this in the first place.
What time is it?
How was I yesterday?
I can't remember the slightest thing.
You're always pleasant.
I shouldn't have taken all the glasses Trumpet Yoo poured for me.
Why did you wake up so early?
I'm going to visit Mother before I go to work.
We didn't go yesterday.
I'm going to pack up my things at work.
So don't say a thing.
You don't have to pack up.
What are you saying?
What are you going to do about it?
I'll see you later.
Why is he acting like that again?
What did I do? Why are you getting angry?
What's wrong, Mother?
- Mi So. - Yes.
I don't like hospital food,
so I told her to pack me some lunch...
and this woman is getting angry with me.
What kind of a caregiver makes lunch for their patients?
Why not? You're getting paid.
You're supposed to do what I ask.
If she keeps on doing this,
I can't look after her.
- Excuse me... - Oh, gosh.
Fine, forget about it!
It's not like you're the only caregiver out there.
Mother.
Wait a second.
You can't just leave.
I can't put up with her any longer.
She wants me to pack her lunch?
How would I do that?
I'm sorry.
I'll get her lunch ready. Please let it go.
I've been doing this for 10 years,
but I've never had a patient with such a wild temper.
Please let it go.
I have an infant so I can't look after her.
I'm only letting this go because of you.
Thank you.
Take this...
and get some breakfast.
Thank you.
Do you not like the hospital food, Mother?
Try it yourself.
Tell me if it tastes good or bad.
I'll bring you food from now on.
How could you? What about work?
I applied for childcare leave.
I can look after Ga Ram,
so don't worry about it.
Good job.
They won't fire you for taking childcare leave, right?
Right. They won't fire me.
If they frame you like they did last time while you're on leave,
I won't stand it.
I hope my colleagues know how scary you are.
Goodness.
Are you going to work?
Yes, I'll be back.
He's having a hard time...
because of me.
- What did you say? - He's coming around 2pm or 3pm.
- Okay, go work. - Okay.
Good morning.
Are you going to make deliveries in that outfit?
No,
I brought a change of clothes.
Hurry up and change. We have a lot of deliveries to make.
Yes, Sir.
Wait.
Have you really done this before?
You don't look like a man who'd take a mundane job like this.
There isn't such a thing as a mundane job.
A mundane job? No way.
Let's see.
I hope this goes well.
My goodness, are you trying to put me out of business?
- I'm sorry. - Move away.
Il Mok.
Are you hurt? Are you okay?
- Mother. - Move out of the way.
Look here.
Who are you to yell at him?
Do you know who he is?
- Mother. - He graduated...
from the best university in Korea.
He's a professor who teaches students.
Then, why is he here making deliveries?
He's doing it because he wants to.
Don't tell him what to do.
Sure, Mr Professor.
If you want to deliver food, find another place!
Hey.
Mother.
- I'm sorry. - Il Mok.
I am sorry. I'm so sorry.
Things must have been really hard on you.
My goodness.
My goodness, Il Mok.
It's all right, Il Mok.
There are worse things that could happen in life.
You're healthy. What more could you ask for?
You're right.
It's better this way.
Take this time and read as many books as you want,
and eat a lot of delicious food.
You will find a way out of this in time.
Please don't say anything to...
Don't worry.
I won't say anything to her.
I'm sorry.
- I am truly sorry. - Don't worry about it.
You should also gain some weight while you take some time off.
You look too skinny.
Let's go.
Okay, sure.
We will film whenever you can, Mrs Cinderella.
All right, call me back.
Is she willing to work with you?
Of course, we got past our misunderstanding.
That's great, Ms Joo.
Ms Lee, don't just sit around while you're on your leave.
Think of some usable ideas.
You might lose your touch if you just sit around at home.
Of course.
Will you give this to my replacement?
The ones on the top are the CRM quarterly reports,
and the ones below are approval requests from the sales department.
Below those are...
My gosh.
Where are you going, Mr Yoo?
I can't sit around and watch you pack up.
Mr Yoo.
I will still come to work until they find a replacement.
My gosh.
Now, where were we?
Take these back.
- What are you talking about? - Just do as I say.
You know what? I treated you like a brother.
Why are you being rude to me?
He looks like Jae Min from the back.
He definitely went in here.
(Human Resources)
What is he doing?
Oh my gosh.
What are you doing?
You don't need to do this.
What are you talking about?
Ms Lee, this is bad.
What? What's wrong?
Your husband is making a huge mistake right now.
What?
Come on. Hurry.
Go in.
(Human Resources)
What are you doing here?
Why did you bring him here?
There was no one to look after Ga Ram.
Ms Lee, did you know about this?
- About what, Sir? - Mr Kim wants to take...
childcare leave in your place.
Pardon?
(Working Mum Stay Home Dad)
You don't just help raise a child.
Both parents need to work together.
How can you let your husband do that?
I don't want you to do this.
Bang Geul, I told you to be careful.
Mum, can't you just take care of us?
Will this get stolen again?
Ye Eun will be mad if she finds out.
How will I make a living?
You look worried.
What will you do about your career disruption?
Do you want me to do it? He'll just make more problems.
I can't let Mi So sacrifice alone.
Carve up some reason and fire him.
This is finally the beginning.
Let's do this.
