What are you going to do about A Woman's Story?
Mr Oh keeps asking me.
Don't you know...
he's made it clear that he doesn't want to work with us?
I told the higher-ups...
that you'll persuade him.
Pardon me?
Why are you dumping that on Ms Lee?
- You stay out of this. - Why should we stay out of it?
You're the team manager, so you should persuade him.
Why should I?
Then what will she do?
That's not right, Mr Yoo.
Goodness gracious.
Why is everyone getting so worked up at this early hour?
Calm down, everyone.
I found someone suitable.
Please come in.
Master.
Please say hello.
This is Ms Joo's husband.
What's going on? What are you doing?
Hello.
I am Cha Il Mok.
Hello. It's nice to meet you.
By the way,
why did you bring Ms Joo's husband?
You want to know why?
It's because he is...
A Woman's Story.
You know A Woman's Story, right?
I heard you've been sending him a dozen messages a day,
Rita.
Haven't we...
met before, Rita?
Mr Kim. Does this mean you asked me...
to persuade him fully knowing who he is?
I just thought that you'd be better at it than me.
Well, then...
Why did Ms Joo hide the fact that her husband is A Woman's Story?
He'll explain it all to you now.
Do you have time to be chilling here right now?
Your husband is at the marketing team's office.
What are you talking about?
Why are you so surprised? Your husband is A Woman's Story.
My wife wanted to tell you all that I'm her husband,
but I told her not to do it.
Why?
Having a stay-at-home husband isn't exactly something...
to brag about.
- What are you doing now? - But my wife here...
told me to stand up against prejudice...
and persuaded me, so I made a very difficult decision...
to take this job.
However, I wanted to make as much money as possible.
So I asked to get paid double of what Mrs Cinderella got.
What are you doing? This is crazy.
But my wife...
stopped me because she thought...
that I was asking for too much.
Hence, I listened to her, gave up my greed...
and decided to do this.
Well...
Rita.
I heard that you've been stressing my wife out because you thought...
that she's the one who asked for the initial payment.
Now you know.
I'd like to clear up all the misunderstandings,
so I'll work for free.
You'll work for free?
Everyone, I love money.
However, my wife is a lot more important to me.
This is the least I can do to help her out...
to reduce her stress at work.
Don't you think this is a husband's duty?
Thank you. I'll do my best.
Isn't he so inspiring?
Honey.
Why did you say that? You didn't have to do any of that.
This will make things easier...
for you and Mi So.
You should...
just be confident and focus on work.
I'll do all the dirty work, okay?
You no longer have...
anything to worry about, right?
- Come here, Sweetie. - I'm upset.
I'll take care of everything.
(Staff Lounge)
Thank goodness, right?
My feelings are hurt, Master.
I can't believe you kept it even from me.
Don't be silly.
He can do whatever he wants.
Thank you.
You helped me take a huge load off of my chest.
I didn't even do anything.
It was Jae Min's idea.
I'd like to have a meeting with you today. Will that be okay with you?
Yes, of course.
I'll see you in the meeting room. Take him there.
- This way, please. - See you later.
It's this way.
Your husband...
is such a great guy.
From Mum, your husband to Min Ho,
you're surrounded by wonderful people.
You're truly blessed.
Mr Kim.
Thank you.
For what?
You know...
that I'm the one who was trying to negotiate the initial payment,
yet you didn't say anything about it.
Who doesn't like money?
Anyone can be swayed by it.
I'll start working on the missing children campaign.
Please help me out.
Sure.
I guess this has been resolved,
but what should I do about using Ms Ok's name?
Come in.
Did you want to speak to me, Mr Oh?
How's the missing children campaign coming along?
Someone doesn't want me to come back.
I don't know who it is,
but I want to teach that person a serious lesson.
Did you really forgo the plan?
- Yes. - Why would you do that?
We created Sales Team Four, expecting to see new sales methods.
Many employees are against it.
Our retail stores are also avoiding it.
Did you start planning it thinking that you'd face no objections?
Ms Joo.
This is your first project as a team manager.
Do whatever it takes to make it work.
I don't want to see what's been done.
Show me a new sales approach.
I'm sorry.
This project will be a difficult one to execute without proper help.
Then you must come up with an alternative plan.
Okay, I will.
Mr Oh.
We've decided to make A Woman's Story's premium book.
I heard about it. So he's your husband.
I'm sorry for not being able to tell you in advance.
- Get back to work. - Have a good day.
Joo Ye Eun.
How dare you disobey me?
What's the matter?
Mr Oh wants us to revive the campaign project.
I know that he liked that plan.
You asked me to keep it confidential,
so I told him that I'd come up with another plan.
When I have an idea of who's behind Dung Kim,
I'll explain everything to Mr Oh myself.
Mr Kim, Mr Oh could be the one behind Dung Kim.
Let's sit here.
I'm sorry that meeting went on forever on your first day.
Please don't worry. I'm so happy to be able to help you.
Shall we join them?
Sorry?
Let's eat with them. Come with me.
Come on. Hurry up.
My gosh! Jae Min.
It's really good to see you here.
Il Mok, take a seat.
- Mi So, sit. - Please, join us.
My gosh, Jae Min.
Thank you for being her lunch buddy.
There's no need to thank me.
We aren't strangers, Il Mok.
How was the meeting?
She picked out all the recipes already. I didn't have to do much.
I knew Mi So would do that.
Make sure you do everything to make this project go well.
Of course. Take care of Ye Eun so that she won't get tired.
Of course.
- Let's eat. - Let's do that.
This is a great cafeteria.
What do you think? I had to do that.
I had to show people that I made this menu.
This is great.
- Hello. - Hi.
Mum.
- Eun Sol. - Ms Yoon.
Hello, Min Ho and Bang Geul.
Guys, Da Woon's mum is going to conduct a science experiment today.
- Yes! - Awesome!
Mum, I want to play with them, too.
- No. - I don't even have academy today.
You'll go home and study.
Yu Ra's mum.
We can take Yu Ra.
We also let them prepare and review what they study.
That's not everything.
She has to prepare herself in advance.
Why don't you let her come and you can also join us...
- and volunteer in this... - No, thanks.
Let's go.
Let's go, guys.
- Okay. - Okay.
Let's go.
We're here.
- Hello. - Hello.
Welcome. I brought things for the experiment.
- Yes! - Yes!
Take a seat.
- I can have Da Woon. - Sure.
All right, then. Why don't we...
put these together?
- What should I begin with? - What's this?
- Bang Geul. - That?
We don't have more volunteers, do we?
No. People aren't as interested in this as I thought they would be.
Even if it's a few people,
it could still be a great help to working parents.
It's not easy, though.
I quit work because I had no one to babysit my child.
- Did you? - Yes.
It still makes me angry whenever I think about that time.
- Why? - My company wouldn't...
let me use my maternity leave.
I heard there are still people like that.
It'll always be like that.
System is nothing.
If people do not change, the system never gets implemented.
Exactly. That's why we should try our best.
Hey, Da Woon.
- Hey, Mi So. - Yes.
I have a gathering with branch owners.
Okay. I'll pick up Bang Geul and Ga Ram.
- Thank you, Mi So. - Go on.
Eun Sol, how was school today?
It was fun.
Why don't you eat that?
This is your favourite dish.
Did I ever tell you that this was my favourite?
I can tell even if you don't tell me.
You're the best, Eun Sol.
Eun Sol and you became close.
We've...
always been close.
- Right, Eun Sol? - Yes.
I envy you two.
My dad has been so busy...
that we haven't even eaten together for long.
He must be busy because he just returned to work.
That won't do. I will scold him for that.
Don't do that to him.
He's scolded me a lot too.
Stop it and just eat.
Mum.
Okay. I'll be out.
Ms Yoon, my mum is here.
Okay. I'll see you off.
Okay.
- Come again, Bang Geul. - Okay.
I wonder if she's near.
- She's here. - Hi, Mum.
Hello.
I'm sorry. I'm too late.
Don't worry about it. You could've picked up Ga Ram first.
I couldn't do that to you.
Bang Geul, let's go and see your grandma.
My gosh.
Did you make up with her?
- Yes. - That's great news.
Congratulations.
Thank you.
Bang Geul, hop in.
- Goodbye. - Goodbye, Bang Geul.
- Goodbye, then. - Sorry Mum.
No, you're in a hurry. I'll talk to you later.
Okay. Good night.
- Okay. - Thank you.
I'm so full.
What is Mr Kim up to?
He's the one who told me to spend a lot of time with my kid.
You still shouldn't have told Bang Geul that you'll scold him.
I meant that, actually. I'll tell him off someday.
Please, just stay still.
Do you know how humiliated he made me feel?
You'll see when I see him.
Eun Sol, what are you up to?
Should we start studying?
You're so adorable.
- Good job. - My gosh, Ga Ram.
Ga Ram.
I'll sleep over at your house starting tomorrow.
My goodness.
Are you that happy, Ms Ok?
Of course.
I get to see my grandchildren as much as I want.
Some things will be uncomfortable.
I know. I've lived with Ye Eun.
Thank you, Ms Ok, for taking care of my children.
Thank you, Ms Lee.
For letting me see my children.
I'll stop by often. Don't kick me out, okay?
If you're hard on my daughter, I will kick you out.
Grandma.
- My gosh, Bang Geul. - Come here.
I'm sorry I'm late.
I had to pick up Bang Geul.
Look at your mum.
She's already all packed.
Are you coming over tonight?
Well, I have...
something to do tonight.
I thought I'd drop my stuff at your house, though.
What's the occasion?
Why are you here?
It's not like I'm banned from this place.
Where's Min Ho?
He's out riding a bicycle with his friend.
Have you eaten dinner?
Come to the kitchen. I made vegetable porridge.
Sit.
You must be hungry. Eat up.
What about you?
I just ate.
This is good.
How do you feel?
I'm fine.
Ye Eun.
Tomorrow,
I'll move into Mi So's house.
Dropping off and picking up Ga Ram every day and night...
seemed to be too much work for them.
I wanted to take care of Ga Ram until he becomes a year old.
Please understand.
Mi So had...
a difficult life raising her kid while working.
You don't need to ask for my permission.
You can just do what you want.
Take it easy and go.
Thank you.
Do you want...
to sleep next to me tonight?
I want to sleep...
next to my daughter tonight.
Really?
Okay. I got it.
Sure. Then I'll sleep here with Min Ho.
All right.
That's awesome.
What happened?
Your mum will sleep with your grandma tonight.
That's amazing!
- Why are you so happy? - I can sleep next to you.
You're excited to sleep next to me?
You shouldn't sleep here since you're pregnant.
Shall we sleep in Min Ho's room?
That room is small. It'll be uncomfortable.
Thanks, Ye Eun.
For what?
After I left Mi So,
I honestly didn't know...
how I should live my life until I met you.
If I hadn't been able to raise you,
I wouldn't have come this far.
Thanks to you, I could meet Mi So too.
You're making me feel guilty.
I did my best,
but I'm sure I hurt your feelings at times.
I'm sorry.
Ye Eun.
You're my daughter no matter what anyone says.
Don't ever forget that, okay?
Isn't it?
- Good morning. - Hi.
- Grandma! - Yes!
- Did you have a good sleep? - Yes.
Where is Jae Min?
He's still sleeping. He came home very late.
He drank a lot last night.
Really?
I should make some hangover cure soup.
Let's do it together.
Dad, wake up.
Grandma is here.
Oh, is she?
Dad, can you play with me today?
Bang Geul, Daddy is going to get a little more sleep.
Did the talk go well yesterday?
Yes.
Did she say anything else to you?
She said I can go.
That's good.
I was so worried that she might be mean to you again.
I think Ye Eun has changed a little.
That's the feeling I'm getting.
- Hello, Mother. - Hi, Jae Min.
I made soup for your hangover. Have a seat and eat it.
I have to step out for shared babysitting.
I'll eat it when I get back.
Dad. Can you play with me today, please?
I'm sorry, Sweetie.
I have to babysit Da Woon today.
Don't go babysitting today...
and just play with me.
Play with Grandma. I'll be back soon, okay?
Okay.
How's Ms Joo doing?
She just feels apologetic.
I'm so glad that you helped her out like that.
Without your help, she would be in so much trouble by now.
Thank you so much for your concern for Ye Eun.
By the way,
there's something I just can't wrap my head around.
Dung Kim said that he saw you at the tofu restaurant, right?
- Yes. - At that time,
did Ms Joo say hi to you?
No, she couldn't. I mean, she was with her co-workers.
Then how did he find out that you're her husband?
Right, that is strange.
Could he have done...
a background check on you?
Why would Dung Kim do such a thing?
I'm not sure,
but that's the only plausible explanation.
It's weird that he kept posting comments on your blog.
He also asked you to meet in person.
What if it wasn't about you?
He could've done a background check on Ms Joo.
Why would he want to dig up things about my wife?
We should look further into this.
All right. I'll ask Ye Eun, too.
Goodness.
Honey.
- Where were you? - Shared babysitting.
I see.
Did something happen between you and Dung Kim?
No. What do you mean?
How did he find out that I'm your husband?
I told you. He saw us at the tofu restaurant.
I pretended not to know you.
How did he figure it out?
Jae Min thinks that he's been doing a background check on you.
Are you sure...
that I don't have to worry about anything?
Do you want to pick up a side job?
A side job?
It's nothing illegal. Don't ask me anything about it...
and just give me a name I can use.
Ms Ok. Open a new bank account for me.
A new bank account? What for?
I don't have to worry, right?
Don't worry.
Mum, can I go over to Seung Ju's place?
Sure. Go ahead.
Bang Geul. Let's go over to Seung Ju's place.
Okay!
- Be careful. - Have fun.
See you!
I'm hungry.
Shall we eat out?
What do you feel like eating? I'll cook it for you.
I just don't want to stay home.
- You have a good appetite today. - Yes.
Did you...
get to reconcile with your mother yesterday?
Ye Eun.
You're my daughter no matter what anyone says.
Don't ever forget that, okay?
This tastes exceptionally delicious today.
Why aren't you eating?
Don't worry. I'll eat.
Do it like this.
- Mum. - Yes.
Do you want to go to the sauna with me?
Sauna?
I never got to bathe with you as a kid.
I'll scrub your back for you.
I'd love to.
We're going out, Ga Ram.
Let's go to the sauna.
- I'm getting a little hungry. - Are you?
Let's eat seaweed soup when we get there.
We should order the sweet rice drink, too.
- The sweet rice drink? - Yes.
I'm going to eat eggs, as well.
All right. Get whatever you want to eat. It's on me.
I bet you'll eat a lot again.
It's Sky eating, not me.
Let's go and eat delicious things!
That must be what a mother and a daughter should look like.
Smiling together and walking together like that.
That's what a mother and a daughter should do.
Ye Eun!
(Working Mum Stay Home Dad)
Don't look at me like that.
What are you doing?
What brings you here?
I have to talk to you about something.
The money you offered me. I won't take it.
You joined this place out of your free will,
but you can't leave just because you want to.
You must've had an agenda.
Stop talking nonsense and get going.
Rita. If you bother my wife, I won't let it slide.
Stop Kim Jae Min.
You created this mess because you couldn't manage your subordinate.
- By any chance... - I think I know who is trying...
to stop me from coming back.
