(Episode 4)
Make sure you leave a good impression.
And don't tell her that we're siblings.
Hello, ma'am.
She's Yoon Ji Young.
- Say hello. She's... - My name is Choi Kyung Shin.
As you can see here,
she's perfectly healthy.
This is her graduation diploma.
Have you never been ill before?
No, I haven't.
I heard you're single...
and that you've never given birth before.
Are you sure you're willing to help?
Of course.
Thank you for doing this. I know it must've been hard to decide.
It says here that you majored in Art.
Does that mean you work in the art business?
I'm sorry to say this, but is it necessary to tell you all that?
Well, the thing is, she's very private with her personal life.
But it's nothing weird.
It's a very sound...
and healthy job.
I'm just curious to know more about you...
since you'll be carrying my baby.
I'm sorry if I upset you.
I'll be careful to make sure that everything goes well.
Can we talk in private?
Sure.
I'd like to know why you've decided to do this.
Can you please be honest?
I need money.
What other reason would there be?
Okay, fine.
You need money, and I need a baby.
But I'm not talking about an ordinary baby.
I'm talking about a very precious and valuable one.
So I need someone who can carry my baby very preciously.
Can you do that for me?
All babies are precious and valuable.
And I'm not just talking about your baby.
One shouldn't deserve to be pregnant...
if she's not sure that she'll be able to protect the baby inside her.
I already wrote up a contract.
Let's settle a deal if you agree with the contract.
Let me have a read.
Let's see. "Number one".
"Choi Kyung Shin will pay for Yoon Ji Young regarding..."
"all the expenses that arise due to her pregnancy and childbirth."
"Number two".
"As soon as Choi Kyung Shin confirms Yoon Ji Young's pregnancy,"
"she will wire half of the deposit which is 250,000 dollars."
"Once Yoon Ji Young delivers the baby,"
"Choi Kyung Shin will wire the remaining 250,000 dollars."
"However, an additional amount of money will be paid..."
"if the baby turns out to be a son."
"Number three. Yoon Ji Young will..."
"give the baby to Choi Kyung Shin as soon as she gives birth,"
"and that baby will be registered as Choi Kyung Shin's baby."
"Furthermore, she cannot claim any kind of rights regarding the baby."
"Number four".
"If the fetus turns out to be malformed,"
"Choi Kyung Shin will ask for an abortion,"
"and Yoon Ji Young shall do as she's told."
Does that mean we won't be able to get the other half of the deposit?
That's going to be a little tough.
I'll give you compensation, so don't worry.
Thank you.
But of course, that will never happen.
I'm sure she'll give birth to a healthy child.
- Please read the next one. - Okay.
"Number five. During her pregnancy and until she gives birth,"
"Yoon Ji Young will live where Choi Kyung Shin tells her to live,"
"and she'll follow all instructions given to her by Choi Kyung Shin."
"And for doing this, Choi Kyung Shin will..."
"pay her 3,000 dollars a month for living expenses."
Can't I work at least until my baby bump starts to show?
I know it may be uncomfortable, but I'd like you to do as I say.
That's why I'm giving you living expenses.
You should do that. You'll end up quitting your job anyway.
If you ever run away...
or end up losing the baby due to a careless behavior on your end,
I'll be filing a lawsuit to get all my money back.
That's the last article written on the contract.
Shall we sign it then?
This is incredible. You're even getting 3,000 dollars a month.
Let's pay the loan sharks 250,000 dollars first.
Then let's say we'll pay a monthly interest of 2,500 dollars...
until we pay back the remaining amount.
You need to live, so you can use 500 dollars.
I'm sure they'll let us off the hook if we promise to do that.
I thought she might not choose you...
if she knew that you had a stillbirth.
That's why I said you were never married. Wasn't that a good idea?
I hope everything goes well.
You must be hungry. What do you want? I'll treat.
What are you so happy about?
Are you happy that this is happening to me?
Would you act the same way if I was your biological sister?
Hey.
You're so coldhearted when it comes to money.
You don't even treat me like I'm human.
Do you even know how I feel right now?
How can you ask me to eat?
Hey, I'll go pick you up on the day you go to the hospital.
Hey, how did it go? Did you meet her?
We signed the contract.
Already? But you only saw her once.
I'm in a hurry.
I'd ask a guy to get pregnant for me if I could.
How is she as a person?
She seemed okay.
I checked all her official documents.
She didn't seem like someone who'd normally do this to earn money.
You can never be sure of...
what goes on inside a person's mind.
That's why I'm going to supervise her.
I'm going to make her do everything I tell her to do.
I'm going to get myself a baby this time no matter what.
(Real-time Search Words, 1. Kain commits a hit-and-run)
("Kain Gets Booked Without Detention for Committing a DUI Hit-And-Run")
There are three companies...
that wish to cancel their advertisements with Kain.
And they'll be filing a lawsuit as soon as they hear the ruling.
Kain will have to pay for most of the compensation.
But our company is also responsible, so we'll have to pay as well.
The production agency paid us. How much money do we have left?
Do we have enough to cover this?
We only have 500,000 dollars.
We used a lot of money on producing and PR.
Do you think there'd be a lunatic who'd be willing to lend me money?
You don't have any collateral.
Okay, you can go.
Okay.
Sang Hyuk.
Hi.
How can you smile right now?
Why aren't you eating? You said you wanted to eat this.
How can you eat when you're about to go broke?
Starving won't solve anything.
I need to be full in order to take care of what's going on.
How are you going to take care of this? Do you have money?
- No. - Can you at least borrow money?
Then how exactly are you going to take care of this?
I need to find a way out of this mess.
Where is it?
Where could it be?
- Here it is. - Are you kidding me?
Let me breath for a second.
This morning sickness is killing me.
I throw up regardless of whether I eat or not.
This baby and I really aren't on good terms.
Our baby will hear you.
Don't badmouth our baby. Just hit me instead.
Here.
How can you want me to have a baby when you're practically broke?
I started out with nothing anyway.
I came this far with nothing.
I'm Shin Sang Hyuk.
Don't worry about a thing.
Just eat.
I know you decided to help us out because you trusted us.
I'm very sorry for the damage that was caused...
by Kain.
We were planning to launch our product in China.
And because you insisted that he was a famous singer in China,
I went ahead and signed a contract...
regardless of how expensive he cost.
But how in the world can this happen?
I'll do whatever I need to do to compensate you.
I know I won't be able to make up for all the loss,
but I'll still try my best...
to compensate you in different kinds of ways outside of the contract.
And regarding your launching show in China...
I'll take my agency's singers and actors...
and have them perform for free.
What's wrong?
Why didn't you show me the synopsis?
I heard I got the lead role.
How did you find out?
Did you meet the director?
He called asking why you weren't calling back.
Why didn't you show it to me?
Why bother? You won't be able to do it anyway.
Why won't I be able to do it?
I'm going to do it. I already told him that I'll do it.
Have you gone mad?
It's an action drama. You'll be a female warrior.
Is this your way of supporting my career?
You're only getting in the way.
I waited so long for this kind of opportunity.
That doesn't matter. Are you going to do stunts with a baby bump?
You're completely insane.
Who says I'm going to have this baby?
Then what?
The company isn't doing well,
and you don't have the ability to take care of me anymore.
I need to live my life.
- No, just do as I say. - Who do you think you are?
If you're a CEO of an agency, you should act like one.
How can you discourage an actress from wanting to take a role?
You used to be a nameless model.
I'm the one who helped you come this far.
You're always the competent one, aren't you?
I was able to get this far because I was competent.
I would've turned out like this regardless of who managed me.
I'm not going to give up on that role.
I set this house up for sale. Keep that in mind.
What?
(Leah Women's Hospital)
We'll be inserting the fertilized egg now.
It won't hurt, so don't be so tense and stay comfortable.
There it is.
Can you see that?
I'm saying I'll sell it to you at that price with the condition...
that you'll take all my employees.
Instead, I'll take care of all the debt.
Stop saying you don't have money. You're the CEO of a huge agency.
Hey, I'm only trying to sell it to you because you're my friend.
I just don't want my company to end up in someone else's hands.
I'm selling it to you at half the original price. You know that.
Okay.
Thanks for deciding to think things over.
But you need to promise that you won't fire a single employee.
That's the only condition I have.
Yes, call me after you think about it.
Bye.
The realtor came by to take a look at the house.
Are you seriously going to be like this?
Do you want coffee? Oh, right. You can't drink coffee.
Other people seem to have no trouble pocketing money from their company.
Why do you need to compensate for people's personal assets...
when the agency's gone bankrupt?
Please calm down.
Why don't you just sell the agency instead?
I'm going to.
What?
Why can't you just ask your parents for help?
Go ask them for help.
- No. - Sang Hyuk.
I'm an orphan. Now, let's drop the subject.
Then I'm not going to have this baby.
I'm suffering every day because of morning sickness.
But you're not helping at all.
Choose.
Either meet your parents...
or give up on having this baby.
Please don't connect this issue with the baby.
I'm never going to starve you nor our baby.
Just trust me.
Then I'll meet your mother instead.
If you do, that will be the end of us.
Then I'd rather end it with you.
I wonder if she found a surrogate mother.
Why won't she share what's going on with us?
It's so hard to get a decent answer out of her.
Why can't she be friendlier?
We really don't go well together.
Hey.
Mother, it's me. Have you been doing well?
Yes, I have. What brings you to call me?
Can we meet tomorrow?
I have something to tell you.
Okay, sure.
Who was that?
Just someone I know.
Sang Hyuk's wife?
What? No, it wasn't her.
She'll ask you to meet up with her.
If she asks for money, make sure you reject her.
How do you know that?
Don't you watch TV?
His agency's about to go bankrupt.
He'll never call,
so his wife will call instead.
Don't even meet up with her in the first place.
If you help her out financially behind my back,
you'll get kicked out of this house.
Can't you just help him out?
If you treat him warmly first,
he might stoop low and come back.
Why should I do that?
I feel so happy that his business went bankrupt.
My gosh.
Mother.
Sang Hyuk's agency isn't doing well because one of the singers...
ended up causing an accident.
Our house is going to get sold, and so will the agency.
We need about four million dollars.
I don't have money.
Mother, please. Why do you think I came to see you?
He's your son.
Can't you help him out a little without the chairman knowing?
If that's too much, can you at least give us two million dollars?
Every single penny that goes in and out of my bank account...
is controlled by the chairman.
I don't even have control over a dollar.
If he really needs money,
tell him to go ask his father himself.
You know he'll never do that.
Then I guess there's nothing you can do.
You're fine.
I don't think it's anything serious.
I think you're getting headaches from stress.
I heard you went bankrupt.
Do you think that's why? Gosh, my head hurts so much.
Can I take a nap in the recovery room?
Hey, you're at an OBY-GN right now.
Can you please go see another doctor from now on?
There's an internist downstairs.
I like this place. I've been coming here for years now.
You're my personal doctor.
Don't forget how much I helped you back when you were in college...
and was in desperate need of a practice patient.
I'd rather be your wife's personal doctor than yours.
Is she not pregnant yet?
She's pregnant.
She's really sensitive these days because of that.
I'll bring her here soon.
Gosh, congratulations. You're going to become a dad.
Aren't you even worried?
I'm really broke.
Gosh, I'm sure you already have a lot of people worrying about you.
You can get through this.
Can I take a short nap?
My gosh.
If you must take a nap, go take a nap in the collection room.
The collection room?
What do they collect?
(Art Academy)
(My younger brother)
Yes, Ms. Choi.
Did you try a pregnancy test?
I tried it yesterday, but it came out negative.
What about today?
I'm sorry. I was busy getting ready for work.
I'll check as soon as I go home.
Okay, please let me know.
(Yusook OB-GYN)
Let's meet at the hospital.
Let's do a checkup.
You're pregnant.
It's been four weeks.
Congratulations, Kyung Shin.
Thank you.
Thank you. You did well.
Congratulations.
I'm so happy for you.
Really?
Yes, honey. You're going to become a dad soon.
A dad?
So this is how it feels...
to become a dad.
Congratulations.
Congratulations to you too.
You did really well.
Thank you.
I've been through...
so much until now.
I know. Thank you for enduring everything.
I'm going to change once our baby gets born.
I'm going to say whatever I want to say...
and do whatever I want to do.
Sure, go ahead.
No one will be able to say anything then.
Hello.
I'll be taking care of you for 10 months.
10 months is a long time.
What if I get attached to you?
But your real mom's Ms. Choi.
I'm just a stranger.
I hope you stay safe while you're here.
I hope we get along while you're with me.
I wonder if Se Young's doing well in the army.
Aunt Ki Sook.
Ji Young.
So that's what happened.
Where's your mom?
She said she might go to her hometown,
but I'm not sure.
I feel so upset.
I can't believe that happened.
You must've been through so much.
I'm fine now. I think things will get better soon.
How? Do you have good news?
I'm planning on working at the countryside for about a year.
I think I'll be able to pay back most of the debt if I do that.
What are you going to do there?
Is there a nice job?
Are Se Young and Bong Kyu doing well?
Of course. Bong Kyu's looking for a job,
and Se Young's in the army.
Hey, aren't you hungry?
Let's go to my place. I'll cook for you.
No, it's okay. I need to go to the academy.
I have to take care of something.
Gosh, but you still need to eat. Come on, let's go.
My goodness.
Why did you just let her go?
You should've at least bought her a meal or something.
She kept refusing.
I even tried to give her money, but she didn't take that either.
Ji Young was always a very honest and decent kid.
She was never greedy for money.
On the other hand, our kids would have...
no trouble taking the money they were given.
How can I refuse to take the money that people give me?
She must've been through so much.
My goodness.
Honey, aren't you happy?
I feel like I'm about to cry.
Why are you causing a fuss?
It's not like she's the one who's pregnant.
You can't have a daughter. I want you to have a son.
He's right. You should have a son.
We have no control over that.
And more people are in favor of having daughters these days.
Are you going to inherit the company to a daughter?
How will a woman be able to take care of a big company?
There are a lot of competent female CEOs these days.
I'll raise her to become someone like that.
There's a limit to what women can do.
I want you to have a son.
My gosh.
Let's think about that later on when we find out the gender.
My gosh, I'm just really happy to hear the news right now.
I feel so much more relieved now.
I hope everything goes well until the end.
I wonder what kind of baby we'll have.
It'll be a son that looks just like you.
A son?
So many people are expecting our baby to be a boy.
Yes, it needs to be a boy no matter what.
Let's go for a stroll in the park with our baby in a stroller...
once our baby gets born.
I've been wanting to do that for so long.
I'm going to...
carry our baby on my shoulder and go on a city tour.
I'm also going to swim with our baby...
and go skiing during the winter.
I'm so relieved.
Honey, you kept your promise.
What do you mean?
A long time ago, I ran away to the States...
because I didn't want to get married into such a rich family.
And I was trying hard to focus on studying there,
but you came to see me.
I was so shocked to see you live in such a small room.
Back then, you asked me...
to go back with you to Korea.
You promised that you'll protect me no matter what.
You asked me to trust you.
Who knows?
You might've lived a better life if you didn't come back with me.
I love you.
I want you to stay here from now on.
I don't want you going anywhere.
(I am also Mother)
What kind of privacy does a surrogate mother need?
Didn't you look into all that before asking her to carry your baby?
Do you really think I'll let my baby eat this?
I decided to switch agencies and sign a contract...
- with CEO Kim Jae Woo. - What?
You guys are both insane.
Did you forget that you're obligated...
to do everything I tell you to do until you give birth?
Why are you talking back?
