(Episode 44)
(LITZ Electronics)
I am at the lobby.
I'm wearing a blue top.
A Woman's Story?
Hello, I'm Joo Ye Eun of LITZ Electronics marketing team.
Thank you for making your way to our company.
It's okay.
Why are you here?
What do you mean? You wanted to see me.
- When did I say that? - That's what you said.
"I really want to meet you, A Woman's Story."
Are you A Woman's Story?
Bingo
Thank you for waiting...
- My gosh! - What's going on?
- What's wrong with you? - It's all over me!
What's the matter, Professor Cha?
Sorry, I dropped some plates.
Let's go outside and talk. That's nonsense.
- What's wrong? - People are watching.
- We should go to your office. - Let's go outside and talk.
What? You wanted to talk here.
How can you be A Woman's Story?
It's a blog which I started since Min Ho was born.
I stopped for a while, but I resumed once I quit working.
Why did your blog suddenly become so famous?
Cha Seung Won said he visited my blog once.
That's when more people started to visit my blog.
Why didn't you tell me?
You were saying how I was idling with my blog.
What's A Woman's Story?
I thought it was a woman's blog.
Woman.
It's like whoa-man. Whoa, it's a man's blog.
Why are we sitting here?
Let's go to your office. I want to meet your co-workers.
Why do you want to see them? You are an unemployed...
blogger.
I thought you contacted me because my blog was good.
That's true,
but things are different if you're A Woman's Story.
- Do we just call it off? - We can't do that, either.
Mr Oh said that I have to get A Woman's Story.
What do you want me to do?
Go home for now. I need to think about this.
I thought I'd finally get to see your office.
What are you talking about?
Did you think I'd be proud of you because you're A Woman's Story?
I'm leaving.
Stop being stubborn and please come home.
It's really difficult to look after Min Ho and work at the same time.
I don't care.
What should I do?
And I thought this would lead me to something.
I'm back.
How did it go?
- What? - I thought you were meeting Ms Joo.
Did you tell her to try to get along with Mi So?
There was no time to say that.
- Why? - Things happened.
Who can it be at this hour?
- Who is it? - It's me, Seung Ju's mum.
- Oh, my. - Hello.
I did find the right place.
What brings you here?
I heard you were looking after each other's kids.
Do you want to be a part of it?
Yes. I was so thankful the last time you looked after my son.
I can look after the kids for about two hours a day.
Thank you.
These are things my kids used. I brought them in case you need them.
Of course we need them.
I'll babysit from 4pm to 6pm while my kid is at the academy.
Let me know once this place gets busy.
We will.
Word of mouth is the most important,
so please spread the word to all the mums.
Don't even worry about that. I'm quite talkative.
We already know that very well.
We do.
It's Lee Mi So from the marketing team.
Hello, Mr Oh.
You want to see me?
Sure, I'm coming.
Okay.
Why does Mr Oh want to see you?
I'm not sure. I'll get going.
What could it be?
Your proposal is to do a catering service based on the online recipes?
Yes, I think it'll be a good method to sell our products offline.
Where would we provide the catering service?
I think senior centres would be good...
and day-care centres would work, too.
We can also try it in front of schools.
We'll make it available at places where mums gather.
Proceed with the plans.
It'll play in our favour when we negotiate over the merger.
Even if we have an administrator for the online recipes,
we'll need a separate person in charge of the offline products.
So I'd like to suggest that we give a chance to Mrs Cinderella.
If she's okay with it, it's totally fine with us.
The premium book was a success as well.
All right.
Thank you, Mr Oh.
Why are you here?
Do you think he only called you?
How did it go with A Woman's Story?
She hasn't made up her mind.
Convince her at any cost.
If we proceed it alongside Ms Lee's proposal, we have a good chance.
Do you like Ms Lee's proposal?
Very much.
It looks like your planning ability is far behind hers.
The proposal I handed in was a cooperative effort.
That proposal...
would be advantageous to you only if it succeeds before company merges.
You may leave.
Let's see you two fight in bloodshed.
It doesn't matter who drops out. I'll be the one taking the credit.
(Mrs Cinderella)
Mrs Cinderella?
It's been a long time.
If you're free today, can we meet?
Okay, I'll meet you at the same cafe then.
All right.
Why do you need to see her?
We need someone to make the online recipes.
So? You're willing to work with her?
Mr Oh gave the green light.
What's Mr Oh thinking?
Hello.
Hi. It's been a while.
It has been.
I was thinking whether or not to contact you.
I checked the Jongno Mum's blog.
Oh, that...
Reading your post brought tears to my eyes.
I was so thankful.
You had Eun Sol in mind as well.
I'm a mum myself.
I knew you were innocent,
so I couldn't just sit back and watch.
I saw Bang Geul a few times at school.
She's a beautiful child.
So is Eun Sol.
By any chance,
are you still looking for work?
Sorry?
When I met you last time,
you were going around handing in your resume.
Oh, that...
I didn't want to stay home so I thought I'd try it out,
but it's so difficult for full-time mums to find a job.
Then,
would you like to work with LITZ Electronics again?
After what happened,
do you think I can work there again?
It was our fault.
If your husband is okay with it,
I'd like to work with you again.
You don't have to worry about that now.
- Pardon? - If it doesn't bother you,
I'd love to do what I can to help the company.
Thank you.
I'm so happy that I get to see you again.
Same here.
Welcome home.
I'm going to work with Mrs Cinderella again.
Mi So. What are you talking about?
It just worked out that way.
I need her for the current project so I met up with her.
She said she'll work with us.
If that's the case, I'll feel awkward in the middle.
You don't have to feel that way.
From now on, I'm going to keep you out of my mind when I talk to her.
Is that even possible?
I tried today, and I think it'll be possible.
I have a bad feeling.
I don't know why but I have a bad feeling.
I'm home.
Welcome home.
Wash up and wait for me in your room. You'll study with me.
Okay.
We need to talk.
I don't know who your lawyer is...
but if the reason for divorce is irreconcilable differences,
you must provide a convincing reason for wanting the divorce.
I'm familiar with that.
Do you know how difficult it is to prove it?
How difficult is that? I already have everything ready.
What did you prepare?
Here's the first reason.
You took my social life away from me.
Are you trying to achieve self-realisation like other women?
If that's your wish, do it after we get divorced.
I'll never be able to watch you work with other men.
Second,
I'm frightened of your educational philosophy.
Eun Sol's too young to stay at your friend's house. He's not our family.
She'll grow a sense of independence.
She can do that while she's here.
I'm sending Eun Sol to the States.
Don't sway her.
Third,
your verbal abuse is way overboard.
Maybe you should have taken an IQ test before we got married.
And fourth, your physical abuse is quite alarming.
Don't be ridiculous. Quit right away.
I'll make sure this doesn't affect neither you nor Eun Sol.
Eun Sol is not a baby any more...
How dare you...
try to disgrace me?
Finally,
you accused me of cheating.
I have a lot of time on my hands.
Let's see who shows up.
It'll be a problem if a man shows up...
or if the mums don't show up. Do you understand?
Do you have proof?
I can gather them one by one.
You left your trace wherever you go,
so that won't be a problem.
Give up on sending Eun Sol abroad.
Then, I'll withdraw.
When was it always that easy?
Who's her lawyer, anyway?
What are you doing, Bang Geul?
Bang Geul, I just got back from the academy.
I'm going to study now.
Tomorrow? Really?
Eun Sol, what are you doing? Why aren't you studying?
Let me finish this call.
Okay, why don't we play with Min Ho tomorrow after school?
Will you keep doing this?
What's going on?
How can you be on the phone when I told you to get ready to study?
Eun Sol, will you continue to disappoint me like this?
I was about to hang up, but...
How dare you talk back to me?
I hate you, Dad.
What?
Don't cry, Eun Sol.
This is all because of you.
Why are you so soft on her?
Don't scream at Mum.
Don't cry, Eun Sol.
I'm sorry.
We're bad parents, that's all.
I'm sorry, Eun Sol.
Don't cry.
Mum.
She's going to ruin that kid.
All right, we're about to take off.
Left turn.
Right turn.
What are you doing?
Dad's giving me a ride on a plane, Mum.
- Mi So. - Yes?
Get in line if you want a ride.
You know, this is one expensive ride.
No one else is waiting.
- Be careful. - Here we are.
Can I get a kiss instead?
A kiss? That's too weak.
Is it? Then what else?
That thing that you're thinking of.
Honey.
Why do we need to talk?
Did you give up on sending him to the academy?
Min Ho, wash up and go study.
And I need to talk to you.
Go on.
You can work with our company.
So can I tell people that I'm A Woman's Story?
No way.
Keep it a secret.
It's not like I did anything wrong.
I don't want people to know that my husband is an unemployed blogger.
I don't think that's right. We need to be open about everything.
My company is about to get merged.
I have to do this project well to survive.
If you don't help me, who will?
Okay.
Make sure no one knows that you're A Woman's Story.
Especially Jin Seong and Mr Kim.
I got it.
You should stop being stubborn and return home.
We can talk about work at home, too.
- I can't come back. - Why?
I started shared babysitting.
- What is it? - It's exactly what I said.
I will start shared babysitting in this neighbourhood.
You should be concerned about us. Don't worry about anyone else.
I thought I told you that I want to raise everyone's kids well.
You're unbelievable.
- Aren't you lonely tonight? - Go.
"Go."
My goodness. What is wrong with him?
Good morning.
- Hello. - Good morning.
What did Mrs Cinderella say? Will she take the part?
Yes. We decided to work together.
Will she work with us even after all that?
What did her husband say?
She'll take care of him.
Really?
In that case, Ms Joo must be concerned.
Mi So and Mrs Cinderella have a great teamwork.
If you two make a great project,
Ms Joo's project will look a little too humble.
What are you talking about?
It's so obvious. Even if you and A Woman's Story do well,
it's only on the internet, but Mi So's is done in real life.
People will respond differently.
There are rumours that you two are competing with these projects.
It's not a competition. We need to work together to succeed.
I was about to call you.
You've called at the right time, Ms Joo.
Do you have time today? I have to talk to you.
I have to talk to you, too.
We'll meet at 7pm at the chicken place. Okay?
That's not a place for me.
She's so rude.
Hello, Teacher.
This is Eun Sol's dad.
May I have Ms Lee's number?
Hello?
Hello. This is Eun Sol's dad.
Hello.
Let's meet at 7pm at the chicken place.
Me?
Why?
What was that?
He's so rude.
Who is it?
Well...
I need to calm down for Mrs Cinderella's sake.
This is all you need to remember for chicken seasoning.
The ratio is 1 to 1 to 1 to 1 to 1. That's it.
How can they start working together again?
Mix the seasoning.
They are going to completely forget about me when they meet.
You have to cut the chicken fillets.
Do you think that's possible?
I'm not sure.
Gosh.
I'm afraid she'll shun me again. I can't even sleep at night.
There is one good news.
What is it?
Your fear of birds.
You completely overcame that.
Master, I am so anxious.
I can feel a huge accident...
on the horizon.
Ms Lee knows that there's nothing between you two. What's the problem?
I hope you're right.
It has to be right.
We have to stir-fry that now,
but this young man doesn't have cooking oil.
Rock, paper, scissors.
See?
Something doesn't feel right.
I never use scissors.
Sure. Just get moving.
Come on, move faster.
- Mr Kim. - You.
Jae Min, I finally meet you.
- What's wrong? - What's wrong?
I got fired and divorced all because of you.
Do I look happy to you?
- Did you get divorced? - Yes, I did.
Who lives with an unemployed husband these days?
You jerk. Couldn't you have let that one go?
- I'm sorry. - Is that all you've got to say?
- You jerk. - Mr Kim.
- Let go of him. Please stop. - Gosh.
- Calm down. - Let me go.
- Calm down, please. - Let go of me.
Stay off my grid, okay?
I don't know what I'll do next.
Does Dung Kim live here?
Yes. He showed me this studio.
Really?
I feel bad now.
He got divorced because of me.
That's not true.
He got caught having an affair...
when his wife came to Korea for a surprise visit.
The whole place turned upside down back then.
- Really? - Yes.
That's a relief.
What brings you here now?
I left my USB at home.
My gosh.
I'll never let you turn my place into a babysitting centre.
I don't like babies.
It won't be a bad idea to experience it before you get married.
I still don't want it.
Stop talking about it that way.
I'm not finished, yet.
You must choose, young man.
Would you give up this stir-fried chicken...
and live a selfish life,
or would you defend it...
as a person who wants to live within the community?
You're being so cheap over food.
Come on.
- Have some. - Fine, I don't want any.
It turned out good.
My goodness.
Hi, Ms Ok.
Let's go to my house.
Why would we go there?
You need to see Mi So as much as possible.
She'll resent you less that way once she finds out.
What if Mi So finds it weird?
She knows how close we are these days.
I'll tell her you came to see me. Come on, let's go.
It's okay. Let's go.
Oh, dear.
You're here early.
- It's about Eun Sol's mum... - Listen to what I say first.
- Keep an eye on your child. - Sorry?
Your son keeps on convincing my daughter to play outside,
but Eun Sol doesn't have time to play with kids like him.
"Kids like him?"
He gets 30 percent on spelling tests...
so what do you want me to call him?
Excuse me.
Ms Yoon, they're causing a commotion here.
My husband is with Ms Joo?
What?
I'm on my way.
Eun Sol doesn't have time to play with kids like them!
She'll be leaving Korea soon.
You said I should keep an eye on my child but what about your wife?
What is she doing here?
Everybody was talking about her because of her false credentials,
and she wants to work for us again?
How do you know that?
I work at LITZ Electronics.
Ms Joo!
What are you talking about?
What? Did I say something wrong?
You're working with Mrs Cinderella again, right?
What... What are you doing here?
I'm Bang Geul's mum.
Gosh.
Then, is she really working for LITZ Electronics?
I asked a question!
She is. The proposal was approved.
Why are you doing this?
You're making this worse for Mrs Cinderella.
It's okay, Sorry Mum.
Mrs Cinderella.
Are you out of your mind?
You're wiling to go back after what they did to you?
Why do you care?
We're going to get divorced.
(Working Mum Stay Home Dad)
Why are you doing this? What's the problem?
You don't even know how lucky you are to have a mum by your side.
Do you know how it feels to miss someone so dearly?
Why do I need to know?
Stop trying to act nice. I've had enough of it.
- I'm not going to get divorced! - I will.
Even if you decide not to send her abroad, I'll go ahead with it.
How could you do that to Eun Sol?
You've made her a loner at school.
They're not at her level so you must cut them off early!
Why is Mi So your sister-in-law?
What? Ye Eun treats her like her sister so it just came out.
Are you going to keep doing this?
If I stay out of it, you can live as Mi So's mum.
Did they say in-laws?
Why are you in-laws with Ms Ok?
What brings you here at this hour?
Let's have a drink, Master.
What's between you and Mr Kim?
What do you mean? We're both parents.
There's nothing more to it?
