(Episode 80)
Hello, Sir.
I'm her mother-in-law...
and Jae Min's mother.
What brings you here?
I'm here to complain about what's going on in your company.
Mother, please.
Having a kid is not a crime.
After applying for parental leave,
they were advised to leave the company.
Does that make sense to you?
Hello, Ma'am.
Hello.
I'd like to say something to you.
What is it?
Should I say it here?
Should we go up to your office?
I prefer going to your office.
Sure. We can go to my office.
Okay.
Oh, hello.
Hello.
Aren't you getting off?
Well...
I think I forgot my cell phone. I should go back to the office.
- Please. - Thanks.
Close the door.
Of course.
Mi So.
Your mother-in-law is here again.
What?
Wait.
My goodness.
Gosh.
Wait.
You don't have to do this.
A strong young man is relaxing.
You don't have to work too hard.
Hi, Mi So.
What?
(Director's office)
Why is she here again?
I don't know.
What if she causes trouble again?
What's up with her?
Mum, what are you doing?
Let me handle this.
I have something to tell your boss.
Mother.
My son recently went back to work...
after parental leave.
I see.
I'm here...
because I'm worried if you still hold a grudge...
against me...
for what I did last time.
I think I was out of my mind back then.
Mum.
Mother.
I'm sorry...
for making a scene...
where my son and daughter-in-law work.
Thanks to you,
my son could take parental leave.
All he did was take care of his two children.
Don't give him any disadvantages.
Please.
Mum, stand up.
Come on.
It's okay.
I'm going to stay here until he says everything is okay.
Please stand, Ma'am.
Thank you, Sir.
My goodness. In that case...
I will...
trust your words.
I'll be on my way.
Okay.
Thank you.
I'm sorry.
Mum.
Go back and work.
Why did you do that?
Why?
What did I do?
Why did you have to kneel down?
There is nothing I can't do for my child.
Mother.
Why are you about to cry?
Mum.
If you do this, I just...
My goodness.
I feel so bad.
Don't say that. Go back and work.
I left...
Ga Ram with a friend of mine.
- I'm leaving. - I'll take you home.
Let go.
I never taught you to slack off at work.
What do we do?
Your mother-in-law seemed like a different person today.
She kneeled down for her son's sake.
She's not my mother-in-law.
She's my mum.
She's not your mum.
How can your husband's mum be your mum?
It works for me.
I envy you.
I wish I had a mother-in-law like that.
Before you ask for a good mother-in-law,
you should try to be a good daughter-in-law first.
What have you been studying lately?
Pardon?
My goodness.
This is all because of Master...
I mean, this person who always talks like this.
My gosh.
Did Ms Lee go home?
Yes.
Ms Lee is an amazing person.
What happened this time and the last time is...
all for your sake, Mr Kim.
Ms Ok would do the same for you.
That's what my mum said.
There is nothing a parent can't do for their child.
Ms Joo, you'd do the same for Min Ho.
I heard your mum made a scene again.
You should grow up. Please.
You should learn to respect others.
If you continue with this,
I will make a scene with you and quit this job if I have to.
Why would you quit?
Even people who don't work and get paid...
come to work every day.
I guess you two have teamed up to get rid of me.
I won't give in easily.
Like what kids say, whatever, I don't care.
What does he mean?
You should search online.
- Are you fitting in all right? - Of course.
Don't you feel great now that I'm on this team?
Eat up. Mi So, eat up.
Yes, eat up.
- Jae Min, sit here. - I'll sit with you.
I'm fine.
I'll go over there.
Hey, since when did he get so friendly with Ms Joo?
Let's just eat.
Let's eat.
Why are you here?
As you can see, that table is full.
You're making me feel uncomfortable.
I'm not doing this because I like you.
Why are you doing this, then?
It sounds like you think I'm hitting on you.
You keep reminding me of this guy who's married to you.
Pardon?
Mr Cha and I became very close friends.
He helped me a lot during the first phase of my leave.
Your food is turning cold.
You need to make A Woman's Story's premium book very well.
I already told Ms Joo that I'm taking over.
It'll be easier to use her if we corner her.
Yes, Sir.
What happened with Mr Kim's mother?
She probably kneeled down...
because she thought I was on his side.
That means...
he trusts you completely.
His project proposal won't convince the company.
He'll quit on his own.
Now that we've merged,
all we have to do now is grow bigger.
That's when we will really put Ms Joo to our use.
Hey, Bang Geul.
Hello.
Hello. Give me a second.
Mum, did you tell Dad?
Oh, that...
I did.
But he said he needs some time.
Dad. Can you play some music?
Music?
Wait.
Not this song.
What would you like?
Something that girl groups sing.
Listen to this, Eun Sol.
I want to listen to pop music.
Just do as I say.
Bang Geul, are you doing okay at the education centre?
Yes.
What about your homework? Isn't it hard?
Dad used to help me a lot,
but now that he's back to work, I have to do it myself.
Oh, really?
You should come and do it with Eun Sol.
I can teach you.
Mum.
Ms Ok would do the same for you.
That's what my mum said.
There is nothing a parent can't do for their child.
Honey.
Come on out.
I made some bibimbap. It's excellently prepared.
Can you run over to Ms Ok's house?
To Mother's?
Give her this and tell her that you bought it for her.
This is...
what I gave to you.
It's too small for me. But it'll fit her.
Her fingers are very thin.
What happened?
Come to think about it,
she probably never received a ring from a man...
after she took me in.
My gosh.
What's gotten into you and turned you this sweet?
It's such a waste. It's not like I can throw it away.
Don't tell her that it was too small on me.
Tell her that you bought it because you thought of her.
Mother, I'm here.
Mother.
Hey.
Why are you here? Kids must be home by now.
Well...
I have something to give you.
I also wanted to ask you about watching Ga Ram.
Ga Ram is so sweet.
Are you happy?
Yes, I'm so happy.
If I can live like this, I'll die with no regrets.
Don't say that.
Mother,
will you give me your hand?
Why?
I have something to give you.
Wait.
Why are you giving me a ring?
I want to confess my love to you.
What are you doing?
Please give me your hand.
Okay.
There you go.
Oh my.
Thank you...
for raising Min Ho.
You raised him with me.
Thank you for raising...
Ye Eun, too.
Oh my.
Mother, I love you.
Well...
The ring fits me perfectly.
Do you like it?
Of course.
It's from my son-in-law.
Dad!
- You're back. - Yes.
See you, Bang Geul.
Bye.
- Bye. - My girl is back.
It's been so long.
It's been just a day.
We've never been apart this long before.
Let's go home.
Bang Geul, you're heavy.
You're back.
Yes. Mum, I'm hungry. Give me something to eat.
I'll make you something.
Bang Geul's favourite,
fried chicken.
Yes!
Did you call Mother?
Yes, I did.
She hung up after a minute.
I'm...
so impressed.
She has such an interesting character.
I didn't know my mum well enough.
Since she takes care of Ga Ram,
we don't have to worry about him.
Now we just have to worry about Bang Geul.
When can we sign her up for after-school classes?
It's next week.
When that starts, she has somewhere to stay until the evening, right?
When she's finished with all her classes,
it'll be around when we get off work.
Bang Geul will have to stay out all day.
All kids with working parents are like that.
Dad.
Eun Sol wants to be a singer.
What?
- What? - She told me today.
She'll take dance classes, too.
Does she have her dad's permission?
He's thinking about it.
That's my girl.
Is this for me?
Yes.
Dad.
No.
What do you mean?
I'll never let you become a singer.
Why not?
People look down on that occupation.
They don't.
You're a smart kid.
You need an occupation...
where you can make use of your intelligence.
I don't want to become a doctor.
All right.
Find another dream.
But you can't become a singer.
Eun Sol, drink some juice.
Okay.
- Mum. - Yes?
Why isn't Dad...
like Bang Geul's dad?
What makes you say that?
Bang Geul's dad...
kisses Bang Geul all the time.
He hugs her a lot, too.
But Dad never does that.
That's...
I want to exchange my dad with Bang Geul's dad.
Eun Sol...
wants to exchange you with Bang Geul's dad.
She's just a kid. You don't have to worry about it.
Do you want Eun Sol to run away from home again?
Please...
try to understand what she wants.
She can be anything but a singer.
Who looks down on singers these days?
As I said,
people don't change that easily.
Many singers are from prestigious schools.
Do you look down on them too?
That's...
According to Min Ho's dad,
Min Ho's mum didn't want Min Ho to become a cook,
so he taught Min Ho how to cook without her knowing.
Now, he regrets it.
He regrets...
that he made Min Ho...
hold prejudice against cooks.
Who are you comparing me with now?
Why?
Do you see how Eun Sol would feel?
The worst thing...
you could ever do to Eun Sol is...
to be prejudiced her.
Prejudice?
It's a perfectly normal opinion.
Hello.
- You're here. - Yes.
Have you talked to Eun Sol's dad?
You know how he is.
I'll try to come up with a way.
After all this time,
I start feeling sorry for him.
Please help him...
change.
I'm sure he'll listen to you.
You went to the same university.
That's the biggest problem he has.
I know.
Yu Ra's mum wants to see me.
I see.
What's the matter?
Well...
It's about the swimming class Eun Sol and Bang Geul are taking.
Yu Ra can join.
She can?
But...
Let me take charge of giving them rides.
Why?
That'd make me feel bad.
To be honest, I don't want to...
leave the kids with you alone.
What did I do?
You talk behind people's back.
If you're bothered by what I say,
Yu Ra doesn't have to join the class.
No.
Let me give them rides. I'll be careful.
What if you do something bad to Yu Ra because I don't help out?
It might offend you,
but I'm not like you.
- Is it only me? - I'm the same.
I want to cry.
It's okay. You shouldn't have spent so much.
What happened?
It's pay day today.
That's right.
See you.
(Withdrawal)
Why are you guys so impatient?
You could stay a bit longer.
What are you doing?
Have you checked your salaries?
I don't want to.
Do we have to?
Pay days are scary.
After paying for all the things,
the balance makes me lose all my energy.
I know.
At least, your kids are young.
My kids are in college.
Do you know how much their tuitions are?
It used to be hard when I was in school, too.
How do these college students manage?
Exactly.
Here's our hero.
We wondered what it was.
I heard sushi is...
very expensive.
Do you want some?
I'm fine.
It's just that I've never had it.
I was just wondering what it tasted like.
You should come with us to a sushi place on the weekend.
We're not rich. We don't have to eat that.
Are you coming?
You should go on.
I'll eat by myself today.
Mi So is treating herself today.
Isn't that an expensive place?
Mi So never eats alone.
- Why? - It's because...
she always had to eat alone when she was a kid.
She always waits for someone to eat with her.
Really?
Mi So has so many stories, doesn't she?
Ms Eun, you're buying today.
What?
What are you going to do?
Why did you hurt your back?
I told you to be careful. Didn't you see what I went through?
Sure.
Okay. I'll be there.
Ms Ok.
I have to run to the hospital.
My friend's back gave out.
Hurting our back is the worst for people our age.
- Exactly. I'll say hi and return. - Sure.
- Bye. - Goodbye.
Ga Ram, Ga Ram.
Ga Ram, you'll stay with me.
Peek-a-boo.
Who's this?
Mum, I'm here.
Is she in the room?
I hope she didn't have lunch.
Ga Ram.
You eat well and sleep well.
- Good boy. - Mum, I'm here.
Oh, my.
Mi So.
Why are you here?
Mi So.
Where's my mum?
(Working Mum Stay Home Dad)
I really despise you.
How can you not recognise your daughter?
I'm sorry, my child.
- What's with you? - What did I do?
Are you afraid of people finding out A Woman's Story is your husband?
I thought you proposed A Woman's Story's premium book.
Dung Kim stole it.
Why did you let him?
You heard about Eun Sol's dream.
I told her, no.
Have you ever seen her dance?
It doesn't matter. She can't pursue that.
Do you remember the guy who came by saying it's loud?
He was a senior manager at Ms Joo's company.
That means Rita is Dung Kim.
Why did you do that? Why did you treat Mum badly?
You should treat her well...
in my place.
