(Episode 92)
Mum.
You should stop...
babysitting my kids.
I should stop babysitting your kids?
I'll send...
Ga Ram to daycare centre again.
I can help.
Why would you send him to daycare centre?
Tell me.
What is this about?
- Aren't you asleep yet, Mother? - Hi.
What's wrong, Mi So?
Jae Min, listen to her.
She's telling me to stop babysitting Ga Ram.
She's sending him to the daycare centre.
What?
Do I still...
seem like Ms Ok to you?
Do I feel like a stranger? Is that what this is about?
No.
Then why do you say such disappointing words?
I feel sorry that I couldn't babysit my grandkids earlier.
It's because I adore you too much.
I adore you too much to even look at.
How could I make you suffer?
My kids are important,
but you are also very important to me.
I'm fine.
I told you I'm fine. Stop doing this.
I'm not letting you...
babysit my kids any more.
Okay?
Mi So.
I missed my biological mother...
just because she was my mum.
It wasn't because I wanted her to babysit my kids.
Of course. I know.
I really envied Ye Eun because her mum would babysit her kids.
But I guess that was all because I was selfish.
Mum has her own life.
It's not her responsibility to take care of my kids.
You're absolutely right.
Let's...
send Ga Ram to daycare centre again.
All right, let's do that.
Ga Ram.
I'm sorry it'll be hard for you again.
When he grows up,
he'll understand us.
Right?
Right, Ga Ram?
What if we don't get a spot at a daycare centre soon?
Could there be any faster way?
What are you doing?
You came home late last night.
You must be tired. I should prepare breakfast.
Are you serious?
I don't want you to work too hard.
I don't want my daughter to work too hard, either.
Mum.
Just because you're my mum,
you don't have to take care of my kids.
It's hard for even young people.
Fine.
I'd be lying if I said it's not hard for me.
- Still... - Don't feel sorry for us.
Enjoy your life.
What would I do at my age?
What? Old people enjoy many hobbies these days.
Go on trips...
and go hiking with Mother.
Don't be so stubborn.
Let me take care of your kids.
- Focus on your work. - I'll...
start looking for a daycare centre from today.
- It's a hot dog. - It's a hot dog.
Mi So says...
old people have their own lives, too,
and we shouldn't ask them to babysit when it's even hard for us.
She's right. It must be so hard for them.
Because we have no place to send our kids to,
we blame our parents.
Parents who can't babysit their grandkids feel guilty.
That's right.
What are you going to do about Ga Ram?
We'll have to find a daycare centre.
We'll stay strong even if Ga Ram gets sick often.
When one problem is solved, another comes along.
Dad, smile today!
Smile today!
Dad, let's eat yukgaejang today!
Let's eat yukgaejang today!
- Good morning. - Good morning.
Hi.
So many applied for shared babysitting.
- Really? - Everyone got to know that...
Eun Sol's dad will teach kids how to get into a good university.
You were right.
A Seoul National University graduate is being a great help.
Mr Park.
- Good morning. - Good morning.
Have a nice day, Eun Sol.
See you.
- See you. - All right.
I heard you'd be the kids' mentor.
Are people already talking about it?
Of course. All parents want their kids to get into a good university.
Please teach Seung Ju well.
If Seung Ju can keep up.
How exactly are you going to mentor them?
Shouldn't you take them to Seoul National University first?
Can I tag along?
I really wanted to visit there, and I made it to...
Seoul National University station,
but I got lost.
The university must be far away from the station.
I guess you have to be smart to even find the place.
You can take Line Two.
(Timetable)
We don't have enough applicants.
There are many vacant time slots.
If we get many applicants,
you could leave Ga Ram here.
Although it's become reasonably famous,
we should run it more systematically...
so that parents can trust us.
I'll see...
if there are any previous examples.
We could learn from them.
I'll look into it, too.
How many will attend the mini launching show?
30 percent replied to our message.
Are they not interested or do they just not want to be bothered?
Until 30 percent becomes 60 percent,
and until 60 percent becomes 90, let's continue.
All right.
Here's some information about the missing kids.
All we have to do now is make videos.
- I'll leave for work now. - All right.
Jae Min, smile today!
It doesn't suit you.
Smile... Smile!
How do they do it?
Try it.
- Try it. - Thank you.
All right.
- Try it. - Okay.
Here.
What do you think?
It's not bad. It's very smooth.
- Right? - Yes.
- Ms Lee. - Yes?
Your sleepless nights are paying off.
- Really? - Yes.
All you have to do now is finish the launching show well.
Congratulations, Ms Lee.
Thank you.
- What are you doing, Mi So? - Sorry?
Where are the samples of the premium book?
They'll be ready by tonight.
You better prepare the launching show well.
Mrs Cinderella.
I'm afraid I can't have lunch with you today.
Are you going somewhere?
I have to look for a daycare centre for Ga Ram.
Why?
I feel bad about my mum babysitting him.
I'll get going. I'm sorry.
See you.
- See you. - See you.
Isn't it better to ask your mother?
No one feels comfortable about asking her mother to babysit.
It's more complicated because she's your mother.
Of course.
I never asked my mother before she moved abroad.
Sometimes, it's harder to ask your mother than a stranger.
That's right.
If she scolds my kid, it bothers me.
If she takes the kid's side,
I'm worried she'll spoil the kid.
It must be hard for grandmothers, too.
I hope Ms Lee will find a daycare centre soon.
Now I understand.
If I apply today,
when can I send my kid here?
There are many on the waiting list. You have to wait for a year.
We need it right now.
That's impossible.
I see.
As you can see,
there's nothing we can do for you.
I see.
If it's that urgent, I'm afraid we can't help you.
I see.
Well...
What's that?
It's materials for the mini launching show.
Weren't you in charge of video-making in Marketing Team?
Yes, I know a few agencies.
Please hire the best one.
It needs to be done as soon as possible.
All right. I'll contact them today.
Make sure you keep it confidential.
By the way,
Ms Lee doesn't seem to know you and I are working on this.
I thought she'd be worried about me standing up to Mr Oh.
This is a great idea,
but you never know how it'll end.
If we get a bad result,
I'll take full responsibility. You should stay out.
- That's absurd. - Why?
Think of Sky.
I'll share the responsibility.
It's our team's project. How could I stay out?
Then let's do it together.
Even if we don't get an enthusiastic response at once,
I'll push ahead.
Okay.
Ms Joo. I'll take today off.
Do you remember what you said...
to female employees who take a day off?
This is why you have to hire only those who already gave birth.
Then they won't take maternity leave at least.
Am I asking for maternity leave now?
- Did something happen? - It's none of your business.
You can leave. Something must have happened.
Can you see it?
Rock-paper-scissors.
They're dancing.
When the tagger shouts a number...
Why are there so many kids?
It's because parents are looking forward to having...
a doctor from a prestigious university mentor their kids.
Am I in charge of all these kids?
Take your time. You have a lot of time.
I'm not a man with a lot of free time.
It's your first time with kids. You should calm down.
All right, kids.
This is Mr Park Hyuk Gi.
Come and say hello to him.
Say hello.
Mr Park, how do you get into Seoul National University?
I really have to get into Seoul National University.
I am not all for parents who urge their kids for that university,
but since the kids want it, please do teach them well, Mr Park.
Please.
- Oh, you're home. - Yes.
What about dinner?
I don't want any.
Why are you working at home?
New blender is about to get launched.
I have a part in that.
How can the kids who come to shared babysitting...
talk about getting into Seoul National University all day?
What are you saying?
The moment they saw me they said,
"How do I get into Seoul National University?"
"Can you help us get into Seoul National University?"
They didn't seem like kids.
All they talked about was Seoul National University.
How do their parents educate their children?
I was just like them.
Oh, Eun Sol.
All I talked about was Ivy League schools.
Eun Sol, it's okay because you don't do that any more.
Eun Sol, how's your dance academy?
It's a lot of fun.
I made a lot of friends.
Really?
Can you tell me what their names are?
Na Yoon, Da Hye and Do Yoon.
You made a lot of new friends.
What did you learn today?
What did I learn today?
I forgot.
Honey, I'm home.
Mi So, take a seat.
I had to get the sample for our new premium book.
That's why I'm late. Where's Mum?
She left a while ago.
You're in a good mood today.
Look at this.
(Shared babysitting is about raising our kids together.)
(Parents create a daycare centre and teach the kids with a teacher.)
(There are over 74 shared babysitting centres.)
A shared babysitting centre?
I was looking for others who were doing shared babysitting.
And I found over 70 shared babysitting centres in the country.
- Really? - Yes.
I think we should turn our thing into a shared babysitting centre.
How can you do that?
Parents can pitch in money...
and co-operate the babysitting centre.
We'll find a teacher...
and create a curriculum together.
Parents who have similar values...
can come together and make a great daycare centre.
It would be great if that happens.
Shared babysitting is a too good an idea to give up.
If it's a proper centre, more parents would join us.
Exactly. This is it.
I should make this work.
The problem is location.
You need to find a big house,
but that will strain the parents.
Yes. That's the biggest problem.
Mi So is...
not letting Mother babysit her kids.
What?
- Who babysits them, then? - Exactly.
They're looking for a daycare centre.
I'm worried.
This will be the last lunchbox she makes.
What do you mean?
It's nothing.
It's hard to find a spot. What will she do?
Oh, my.
Why are you already up?
I got up to cook for you.
That's why I woke up early, too.
You should go back to sleep.
Mi So, stop doing this.
You just need to relax.
We'll take care of Ga Ram.
Jae Min, do you think...
Mr Park will be interested in shared babysitting centre?
He's in shared babysitting, anyway.
I'm sure he'd be interested.
Stop making this busy man come and go, okay?
Well.
I wanted to talk to you.
About what?
We want to turn our shared babysitting...
into shared babysitting centre.
Shared babysitting centre?
Yes, in a word,
parents with similar values pitch in to establish a centre.
It's practically shared babysitting with a teacher.
It's like a real daycare centre.
There are over 70 of them around the country.
In that case,
you will need to find a location.
I knew he'd catch that.
Parents around this neighbourhood aren't well off.
Can you really find a place big enough for the centre?
Yes, that's the biggest problem.
Since you're interested in this,
I wanted to talk to you about it.
We both decided to pitch in.
He's right.
Mr Park, what do you think?
I'm not sure.
It's too tiring to see this get so big.
When I start something, I make sure it happens.
You don't have to decide right now.
Give it a thought.
Okay.
He eats that so well.
Do you like this chicken?
I had it often with Ms Lee.
Do you and Mother meet by yourselves?
If you tell my son...
about Ms Ok's surgery, you'll die and I'll live.
Well.
A while ago, I bumped into her.
Aren't you going to eat?
- We will. - We will.
Eat up.
Aren't you...
busy with work?
Why do you get involved in this too?
I want us all to live a good life.
I hope it goes well.
- Hello. - Hello.
Right, Mr Park.
Yes?
It's about...
Sang Goo.
Well.
Sang Goo is...
Send him to shared babysitting.
- Pardon? - You are always welcome,
but don't forget to volunteer.
Don't worry about that.
Please help Sang Goo get into Seoul...
If you're sending him here to get information about that,
forget it.
It's really awful to see kids only talk about...
getting into college all the time.
- Let's go. - Excuse me.
- Let's go. - Wait.
Excuse me.
What is with them today?
Yes?
Do you have a new project proposal yet?
Ms Joo is finishing it up.
You should've just gone with your project.
Are you talking about the campaign for missing children?
Yes. That was a good one.
Yes.
It's also a sore sight to the eyes.
Since when were you so conscious of other people?
I lost a lot of confidence...
after my paternity leave.
But...
I have a question, Mr Oh.
The leader of our team is...
Ms Joo.
Why do you ask me about project proposals?
You always put an importance on the system.
Oh, that.
I just really liked that project.
I'm sorry.
It's the same for this one...
and the at-home babysitting service.
You seem to be the only one who likes my projects.
I will try to come up with a project that's more appealing to many.
(Director)
I tried to make him feel conscious.
I wonder if he realised it.
What is he up to?
One more time.
You should stop...
babysitting my kids.
I should stop babysitting your kids?
I will send...
Ga Ram to daycare centre again.
Ga Ram.
What's with your mum?
What's going on?
I'm home, Mum.
Mum, are you okay?
- You're back. - Has Ga Ram been doing well?
Of course.
I have to stop by at home.
At home?
I'll come back tomorrow morning with some clothes.
Sure. Go ahead.
See you.
Ga Ram, Mum is home.
Mum.
Yes, Bang Geul.
- Did you take a shower? - Yes.
I even had a bubble bath.
What if you catch a cold?
It's okay.
I'll dry my hair.
- Okay. Go ahead. - Okay.
Ga Ram, you should take a bath, too.
Come here.
Let's take a bath.
My stomach...
Oh my.
Ms Ok, what's wrong?
My stomach is killing me.
Where's your son?
Don't tell...
the kids.
They're so busy these days.
- My stomach... - Oh my.
What should I do?
Just a second.
Oh my.
Hyuk Gi?
We're in trouble here.
What?
Please wait a second. I'll be there in a moment.
- Where are you going? - I have an emergency patient.
Wait.
Is it someone important?
Why is he going out at this hour?
My stomach is killing me.
Does it hurt a lot?
What should we do?
Ms Ok.
What's wrong with her?
Could it be the cyst?
Just a second.
It seems to be an ovarian torsion.
Explain so I can understand.
An ovarian torsion refers to...
the twisting of the muscles in your ovary.
It can't be detected by a CT scanner.
- And? - She needs surgery right now.
I was going to do a laparoscopy,
but she'll need a laparotomy now.
Please save her.
Ms Kim, is the anaesthetist here?
- He just got here. - Get ready.
Ms Ok.
You'll be all right after deep sleep.
Doctor, please save me.
I have to look after my grandkids.
Are you worrying about your kids now?
I'm the best doctor in the country. Don't worry.
Please don't say anything to my kids.
They have to go to work tomorrow.
Okay. I'll be right back.
Ms Ok.
Oh my.
Gosh.
Oh my.
(Operating Room)
Ms Lee.
How long will the surgery take?
It'll take two hours at most.
Well...
Should I tell her kids or not?
Ms Ok doesn't seem to want it. It's up to you.
Doctor.
Please do a good job.
Don't worry. Excuse me now.
(Operating Room)
What should I do?
Can parents set up a daycare centre?
Apparently. If things work out, our Ga Ram will...
Our Ga Ram?
Yes, he's our Ga Ram now.
We might be able to look after him.
That'd be great. It'll be easier for Ms Ok.
Dad.
I'm hungry.
What? It's almost midnight now.
I'm hungry.
No, you can't eat.
My stomach is rumbling. Please.
- Mum. - My goodness.
All right.
After telling me not to eat, you're eating more than I am.
I'm worried you'll gain weight.
Okay. I'll give you some.
- Does it taste good? - Yes.
Honey.
Really?
Will Eun Sol's dad help?
Yes.
He said yes so easily.
That's great.
A shared babysitting centre sounds amazing.
If parents can take care of the kids with teachers,
parents will feel so relieved.
Exactly.
If it works out, it'll be great.
Mum can finally enjoy her life.
That's right.
Should we have a drink to celebrate it?
Sure.
Cheers!
