Why are you coming in together?
Were we not supposed to come in together?
- No, I was just saying... - I see.
Is it because you lied to me?
When did I lie to you?
You told me Sorry Mum took childcare leave.
Why did you do that, Ms Joo?
Why did you tell her I went on childcare leave?
I never said that.
You told me at my studio...
that she was busy looking after her baby.
I guess you misunderstood me.
Ms Lee is quite busy with her baby these days.
That's all I was trying to say.
I asked you whether or not Sorry Mum took childcare leave.
I guess that was misleading.
I was just worried about Ms Lee.
Let's start our meeting on the recipe, Mrs Cinderella.
Oh, dear.
I'd rather have a meeting with her.
Mr Oh said I can do what's convenient for me,
and I don't feel very comfortable talking to you.
Ms Lee, you can take her.
Let's get going, Sorry Mum.
My apologies.
See me outside.
What's he doing?
Hey, isn't it fun watching women quarrel?
This is more intense than watching...
Korea play against Japan in baseball.
Do you think...
Ms Joo sent a text message to Ms Lee?
She didn't send it. Didn't you hear what Mrs Cinderella said?
"Text messages are so odd these days."
"The sender sends it but it doesn't seem to reach the recipient."
She got a blow right in the face.
If Ms Joo tried to get Ms Lee...
by not texting her or sending her off to field work,
then that's very foul of her.
That's not being foul. She's just trying to survive.
She's trying so hard to impress Mr Oh these days.
She might backstab us if it suits her needs.
You didn't have to do that, Mrs Cinderella.
I had to stop myself from going on.
I was startled when I read your text message.
Mrs Cinderella.
I have something to discuss with you regarding the printing issues.
Please get back to me at your convenience.
Sorry Mum?
Thanks for getting back to me.
- Aren't you busy? - I'm all right.
Are you back at work?
Ms Joo said you went on childcare leave.
Ms Joo said that?
That's odd.
I didn't take time off.
Can we meet? We can talk about it in person.
Why didn't you come to my studio last Saturday?
Ms Joo supposedly texted me about the meeting at the studio,
but I didn't get it.
Maybe she didn't send it.
She said she sent it so what was I supposed to say?
That wasn't nice.
Your superiors were convinced, too.
I'm not going to let this one slip about how she said...
I took childcare leave.
You shouldn't.
It's past your meeting time with Ms Joo. Is that okay?
She should know what it feels like.
Sorry?
"I texted you about being late."
I'll just say that.
You know what?
I'm starting to feel a little better now.
I'll let you know once my recipe is complete.
Sure.
I'm so glad I get to work with you again.
Me, too.
- Mrs Cinderella. - Hello.
What brings you here?
I came to meet Sorry Mum.
Her screen name is Sorry Mum.
- It is. - I see.
I became acquainted with her through my blog...
even before we began to work together.
Actually, I took this job thanks to her.
Is that so?
Ms Lee, continue your good work.
Yes, Sir.
- Sorry Mum is very kind. - I'm sure she is.
- Yes. - She's really good.
- She shocks me every time. - It's nothing.
- Ms Lee is very good at her work. - She is.
- Please take care of her, too. - Of course.
That wasn't necessary.
Do this well, okay?
- Go, Ms Lee. - Okay.
How can they do this to me?
Should we get going?
It's all right.
Life isn't all about grades.
"Angry" means...
- What is that? - It's nothing.
You're here.
Honey, give me a moment.
Just one moment.
(English spelling test, 30 out of 100)
How can you do this?
Honey, Min Ho was really tired,
so he couldn't study for it.
Why are you tired? Are you tired from eating bulgogi...
or pork cutlet?
Honey, what's the matter?
Why do you always ask me that?
Do you think I'm taking out my anger on him?
Ye Eun, you should eat first.
Stop talking about food.
All you three ever talk about is food.
Min Ho, do you think you're donating to your academy?
Do you know how expensive it is?
I'm sorry.
Honey, why don't we stop sending him to the English academy?
- What? - Min Ho isn't...
very interested in English,
and it's rather expensive.
You just make sure he studies.
If I have to get a loan to send him to his academy, I'll even do that.
She was feeling great yesterday.
I know. Let's go memorise some words.
All right, come on.
It's all right.
Ms Lee.
Did something happen to Ye Eun at work?
I'm not sure.
It looks like she's feeling down.
Don't hate her too much, Ms Lee.
I never hated her.
Well,
it looks that way to me.
Goodbye, then.
How is it?
- Is it good? - I'm back.
You're home, Mi So.
How was Ga Ram?
He's great.
I learned something amazing from our downstairs neighbour.
I learned how to wake him up and how to hold him right.
That man downstairs is an expert on child rearing.
Really?
Mi So.
Yes?
What's the matter?
Does it look like I hate Ms Joo?
That's out of the blue.
But that's what it looked like...
to Ms Ok.
Did she say that...
she thinks you hate Ms Joo?
She did.
Why am I so disappointed?
Why do I feel this sad to see Ms Ok...
keep her distance from me?
It's because you two were starting to grow on each other.
I feel sad, too.
I wonder why she said that.
Would you do this if I was you real daughter?
I think Ms Ok is an amazing lady...
to love Ms Joo that much.
All mothers love their daughters.
I wish I had a mother like her.
Eun Sol.
Where's your umbrella?
You took it to school last Friday.
Did you lose it?
You do know that I hate people who lose their things, don't you?
I let Min Ho borrow it.
Are you talking about the kid who got 30 points on his spelling test?
Yes.
Right, I guess you let him borrow it...
because you came home in my car.
You're such a nice girl.
That's not nice, that's stupid.
Eun Sol, it doesn't make sense to suffer for other people's sake.
I'm sorry. I'll get it back today.
Let's go. I'll take you.
Eun Sol, take this.
- Have a great day. - Okay.
- Goodbye. - Bye.
It's Eun Sol.
Go and say hello to her.
What if she doesn't respond?
No, she'll say hi. Go ahead.
Goodbye.
Hi, Eun Sol.
It's all right.
Bang Geul, smile today!
My goodness.
I shouldn't meddle in children's fights.
Gosh.
- Wait for me. - Take my sword!
Take this!
Catch me if you can.
- I can get you. - You can try.
This is my shield.
Take this.
- I'm telling on you. - That was no fun.
Oh, no.
Wait, this is Eun Sol's. Why is this broken?
Min Ho, that's my umbrella.
I know. I was going to fold it for you.
What's wrong with my umbrella?
Why did you break mine?
No, I didn't do this.
Stop lying. You did this.
I'm not lying, Eun Sol.
Eun Sol, Min Ho didn't do this.
How do you know?
I saw it.
I really didn't do this.
I will never play with you.
My dad told me not to play with you because you're stupid.
You only got 30 points on your spelling test.
If you didn't take your childcare leave,
who's taking care of your son?
My husband is.
I see. It seems there are a lot of husbands who do that now.
There are a couple of them at my daughter's school.
I heard that, too.
But it's still difficult because people are biased against it.
They say, "You're ruining his career."
"He can't even breastfeed them."
That's awful.
It feels like a sin to have children.
But it's such a relief that your husband can help out.
I feel sorry and thankful at the same time.
Did you organise all of the recipes?
- Right, will you take a look? - Oh, okay.
Let's see.
They look awesome.
- Do they? - I'm salivating.
We'll use this.
My goodness, I want to use every single one of them.
Wait, did you really make this one yourself?
I'll make it for you next time.
I will look forward to it.
Okay.
Mrs Cinderella is already out of my hands.
I must face this myself to get on Mr Oh's good side.
Come in.
(Director Oh Sang Sik)
What brings you here?
I'd like to discuss something about Mrs Cinderella project.
I'll leave the current project to Ms Lee.
She knows Mrs Cinderella personally,
so it won't be a problem.
"Commercial Production Proposal"?
Mrs Cinderella has over 30,000 visitors on her blog daily.
She's quite incredible.
I don't think we should settle with publishing a premium edition.
I think producing a commercial...
will maximise sales on our new item.
We don't produce commercials at our company.
When Hana Electronics shot a commercial for their steam cleaners,
their profits soared.
Their flagship item has become the steam cleaner now.
Don't you find something strange about reporting this to me?
- Pardon? - You're not supposed...
to report to me. It's Mr Kim.
Oh, I mean...
Mr Kim is currently out of office so I brought it up to you.
This doesn't seem that urgent.
I'm sorry.
I thought it was a good idea so I wanted to act on it.
You can leave.
She has a daring side to her.
(Director's Office)
Why would you speak with Mr Oh directly?
I had to discuss something with him regarding Mrs Cinderella's project.
So you decided to skip over Mr Kim?
I guess your team is dysfunctional.
No, he left the office...
Is that so? Then, let me give him a call.
Let me call him.
Mr Kim? It's me.
Yes.
That Trumpet Yoo.
Why does he keep trailing me?
That punk, Joo Ye Eun.
Yes, Mr Oh.
Now?
Pardon?
You want me to test Ms Joo?
That's what I said.
I'll try it when the right time comes.
She'll fall for it. It'll be an offer she can't refuse.
- Your food is ready. - Let's enjoy this meal.
- Ouch. Excuse me. - Oh, my.
Nice to meet you.
- Long time no see. - This is excellent.
Do you have a new chef?
The soup is excellent.
Is that so? We changed out our salted fish.
Really? What did you change it to?
I'll get fired if I tell you the secret.
I can't afford to lose this job.
Just enjoy your food.
I'll open a restaurant for you if you get fired.
I don't want to get fired. I like it here.
- Have a good meal. - Thank you.
- Professor Cha. - Yes?
You shift is done. Don't you need to go?
Let me finish up.
And stop calling me a professor.
Okay.
What brings you here, Mr Cha?
You said you'd consider me as your master.
I did.
I'm going to conduct one lecture per day.
- Sorry? - What? You don't want it?
Would you rather miss my gem of wisdom?
No way.
If you're willing to teach me, I'll take it any time.
Hold on.
Ga Ram was quiet last night.
I did as you told me,
and he slept soundly last night, Mr Cha.
I don't like the way you call me.
Then, what do I call you?
You have options.
You can call me a teacher, a mentor...
or even a master.
I'll call you Master.
Master?
Sure.
You'll get tired if you keep holding him.
You need to keep the stroller inside your house.
You should get a baby walker once he's past six months.
Why would I want a stroller inside my house?
Oh, dear. Where did your creativity go?
Nobody said you only need to use the stroller outside.
Isn't it expensive?
- Why would you spend money? - Then?
Don't you know the rule of thumb?
You recycle, share,
switch and reuse.
Where could I go for that?
Every third Saturday, there's a flea market by the district office.
I have so much to teach you.
Are you back, Bang Geul?
I'm home.
Min Ho's dad is here.
Hello.
Why is Bang Geul so down?
She's on bad terms with a friend.
It's not like I can call up her friend's parents.
No, no, no.
You should never get yourself involved in your child's affairs.
That's what I'm saying.
What am I supposed to do?
I'm so upset.
- Party. - It's not even her birthday.
There are many types of parties in this world.
It doesn't have to be her birthday.
Invite her friend and try to get them to mingle.
That's a good idea.
Master, how do you know everything?
I had time on my hands,
so I was the one that raised Min Ho.
I see.
Party...
Welcome home.
Eun Sol.
Did you get your umbrella back?
She did.
Where is it? Let me see it.
That's not necessary.
Bring it.
Min Ho broke my umbrella.
What? Why did he do that?
I'm not sure.
Wasn't there anybody with you when he broke your umbrella?
Bang Geul was there.
It's okay, Eun Sol.
We'll get another umbrella.
No, we can't!
It's okay, Eun Sol.
What do I do, Mum?
Dad is really angry.
It's okay. Don't worry, Eun Sol.
Boys are mean like that. Don't cry.
Don't worry, Eun Sol.
It's okay.
You didn't have dinner yet, right?
Do you know Eun Sol's teacher's number?
- What do you need it for? - I have to speak to her.
Text me her number.
What is it about?
Stop probing into it.
We haven't even seen her before.
Text it to me right now.
That's not right.
I can't let this go. She didn't deserve that.
Why would he break someone else's belonging?
Strictly speaking, that's violence.
She wasn't wrong about saying he's stupid for scoring 30 percent.
What do you think you're doing?
I can't let this one go.
I need to hear a formal apology.
That's for Eun Sol and me.
Stop it.
Goodness.
Please call Bang Geul's parents as well.
How could she watch her friend getting picked at?
That's being an aid to violence.
My goodness.
Why are you doing this? It's just an umbrella.
It's not just an umbrella.
My precious daughter is crying.
That's enough.
I'm only putting up with you because of Eun Sol.
- What did you say? - Gosh!
Is she out of her mind?
How's Dad? Is he still angry?
Be honest, Eun Sol.
What did you say to Min Ho today?
Did you call him stupid for getting 30 percent on his spelling test?
He is stupid.
Apologise to him tomorrow.
Why should I?
How could you say that to a friend?
You were wrong.
No. He was the one that broke my umbrella.
- Park Eun Sol! - Dad said...
not to play with him.
I shouldn't ask her teacher for Eun Sol's mum's number.
Isn't that going overboard?
What else, then? Bang Geul is so upset.
It'll be much easier to get numbers if I knew the other mums.
It's not for something bad.
We just want to invite her over. She'll understand.
I don't feel comfortable calling the teacher.
My heart is pounding.
Don't worry about it. Give her a call.
It's okay.
(Bang Geul's teacher)
- Oh, it's her teacher! - What?
Is she watching us?
- How did she know? - Be quiet.
Yes.
Hello.
Sorry for not introducing myself ahead of time.
Bang Geul didn't mention it.
Did something happen?
- Pardon? - What? What's wrong?
Wait, be quiet.
And what happened?
- Tomorrow? - What is it?
The person you are trying to reach is not available.
She's still busy.
Who are you calling?
Are you calling the teacher?
You don't need to be at Eun Sol's school tomorrow.
I told her you were rash about it because you were angry.
Why would you say that?
I can put up with everything else,
but I won't let you make Eun Sol's life difficult.
Are you trying to say that I make her life difficult?
I thought you were smart. Do I have to spell it out for you?
What's with her?
Why is she so defiant these days?
I'm so sorry. I should've said hello to you first.
What is it?
Yes.
What?
Min Ho, did you break Eun Sol's umbrella?
I didn't, Mum.
I really didn't do it.
Then why is her dad asking to see me?
I really didn't do it, Mum.
What's wrong?
Tell me everything.
Mum.
What on earth is going on?
I have no idea.
How can she get called in for being an aid to violence?
Don't you think I should go?
Her dad is coming, so it's better for me to go.
Bang Geul, have fun at school.
I'm going to work now.
- Good luck. - Don't worry.
Bye, then.
You were on the phone all night yesterday.
What should I do?
Min Ho's mum must be angry.
Okay, I'll see you soon.
What will I do with him?
(Haneul Elementary School)
Ga Ram,
let's visit your sister's school.
I'm so sorry.
I am out of words.
I'm fine,
but Ms Joo is very angry.
Bang Geul's father will be here soon.
I should apologise to the both of them.
Bang Geul, I'm here.
Dad.
It's all right. It's not a big deal.
Is your dad here, Eun Sol?
No, my mum is here.
What? Really?
Hello.
I'm Bang Geul's dad.
Hello, Mr Kim.
Hello.
This is Eun Sol's mum.
Jae Min, I'm sorry.
I shouldn't have left like that.
Yoon Jeong Hyun,
you're getting punished for abandoning someone like him.
How can this happen?
Something is weird.
Eun Sol's mum was there.
How dare she say that to my son?
Apologise to Min Ho.
I don't want Dad to yell at me.
Did you meet Mr Kim?
You're finally here. I'm her husband.
Jeong Hyun, what's going on with your life?
What do you think about Eun Sol's mum?
- Why? - What did you say?
Shut up, Jeong Hyun. I can't take this any longer.
I can't live like this.
