(Cheongju Hyuntan Hospital)
(Episode 17)
You're up.
Are you okay, Ji Young?
What about the baby?
He's in the infant unit.
You bled so much.
They barely managed to keep you alive.
If you bled more, you almost could've died.
Things could've been really bad.
My own baby almost died from giving birth to someone else's baby.
Is the baby doing okay?
He's healthy. There's nothing wrong with him.
He's not deformed.
The doctor checked thoroughly.
The hospital that diagnosed him must've been really absentminded.
I can't believe they diagnosed a perfectly normal baby as deformed.
This is what you call a medical malpractice.
There's no other better example.
Don't you think you should tell his biological parents?
Mom.
My goodness, okay.
I have no money coming in but a lot of money going out.
I wonder if they'll give me money even if it's a deformed baby.
But what else are they going to do? It's their kid.
He's still the heir, so I'm sure they'll pay at least a small amount.
Bestie.
He looks so handsome.
He has distinct features, and he looks manly.
(Chungju Restaurant)
Be careful.
Thank you.
Let's go.
Ji Young, put the baby down here.
You should stay here with me...
until you recover.
What about the owner of the restaurant?
She can stay somewhere else for a while.
You should stay here.
It's not like you have anyone to take care of you in Seoul.
My gosh, he must be hungry.
- You should feed him. - Okay.
- Okay, okay. - There, there.
Is the milk coming out okay?
Yes.
Look at him eat.
I want to name him Joon Su.
Joon Su?
It's what Young Kyu wanted to name our child...
once it was born.
I want to...
give him that name.
My goodness.
Mom.
Life was never easy for you, was it?
You were born into a poor family.
And you got ignored because you were a daughter.
Then not long after you got married, you got kicked out...
because you couldn't give birth to a son.
I was your one and only hope.
But after marrying me off to a rich family,
you weren't even able to meet me whenever you wanted to.
And you had to stay quiet like a sinner...
because I wasn't able to get pregnant.
This is probably for the best.
Now, you don't have to see me go through all this.
I hope you go somewhere happy, Mom.
(Petit Parole)
Isn't the office too small?
Maybe I should've helped you out.
You should save up and use that money on your wedding.
I'll do fine even without your help.
I got you a gift to congratulate you on your new start. Aren't I nice?
Yes, you are. You're such a helpful friend.
Thank you, my friend.
Gosh, it's not like I have child to take care of.
Plus, I have no place to spend my money on.
So I just think of you as my son and spend money on you.
That's great. I'll be your adopted son.
So please help me out.
I need a fridge, a water purifier,
and an air conditioner.
Get lost.
You got your investment,
and you have an office now.
Now, you'll need to hire employees.
Yes, that's right.
Hey, this is that drawing.
I guess you remember.
Of course, I remember.
You came by when I was with Kyung Shin.
Yes. That drawing is what inspired me.
It's a very precious drawing.
Do you know how Kyung Shin's doing?
Why are you asking me?
You're the one who's close to her.
She won't pick up my calls lately.
And I haven't heard from her either.
I wonder if there's something going on.
Hey, Hye Rim.
Have you been doing well, Hyun Joon?
Yes. What about you? Are you doing well?
Yes.
The thing is, Kyung Shin hasn't been answering my calls lately.
She hasn't called me either.
Is there something going on with her by any chance?
She went to see her mom for a while.
I see.
Here's your coffee.
That coffee machine seems a bit too fancy...
for this office.
Just drink coffee from the vending machine.
Hey, don't you know me?
I'm all about the quality.
You invited me over for an opening ceremony, but all I get is coffee.
What's wrong with coffee?
And what about you?
You came empty-handed to an opening ceremony.
You could've at least brought flowers.
You really should know better.
Think about how much meat I bought you when I used to be your boss.
You probably ate an entire cow in total.
Gosh, why would I come empty-handed?
I brought you something nice.
Something nice? What?
Where is it?
All I can see is dust on your jacket.
It's me, a competent employee.
What?
I talked back to the CEO and got fired.
You talked back?
Honey, remember that scandal about Min Kyung cheating on Sang Hyuk?
Maybe that was just a false rumor.
What are you trying to say?
I think we were mistaken.
Sang Hyuk's probably...
still living with her because it was a false rumor.
Don't you agree?
Honey, should we just tell Min Kyung to get pregnant?
What did you just say?
It's going to take Hyun Joon about a year or two...
to get remarried and have a baby.
So I'm thinking we should ask Sang Hyuk to have a baby first.
There's no time to waste.
My goodness.
What is wrong with you?
Didn't I already tell you that she's not my daughter-in-law?
Don't you ever say that again.
She's your daughter-in-law...
if your son's still married to her.
We'll eventually end up giving in to Sang Hyuk anyway.
I'm just saying this because I feel sorry for Sang Hyuk.
Back when he was young,
I couldn't even feed him properly because I was busy...
helping you out with your business.
And I couldn't even eat properly when I was pregnant with him,
so he was born really skinny.
He didn't even weigh 3kg.
Shut your mouth and finish clipping my toenails.
Gosh, it's so hot.
My goodness gracious.
- Honey. - It's so hot.
- What is it? - Ji Young gave birth.
It's a boy!
- Already? - Really?
- That was faster than expected. - Really?
- She gave birth? - Yes.
He was born two weeks earlier than expected.
And most importantly, the baby is normal.
It's not deformed.
- My gosh. - My goodness.
Does that mean it was a misdiagnosis?
How could they do that?
They almost killed a perfectly fine baby.
Is Ji Young still at her mom's?
Yes, I think Young Ran's taking care of her.
Young Ran must be so frustrated.
She should send the baby back...
after taking care of it for a couple of days.
My gosh, she even named the baby.
She wouldn't have done that if she was willing to send it back.
Ji Young's completely insane.
I would've sent it back as soon as possible.
Apparently, the baby's adorable.
His eyes, nose, and mouth are all so pretty.
Really? I can't wait to see him.
I'm glad she gave birth to a healthy baby.
Nonsense.
Let's hold a party for her when she comes back.
- Let's also buy gifts for the baby. - Nice.
- My gosh. - Get to your senses.
You guys are crazy.
You told me that they're rich.
If he lives with them,
he'll be able to live a better life.
Money isn't everything.
They wanted me to get rid of him.
That's because they thought he was deformed.
They wouldn't have said that if they knew he was normal.
A baby is still precious whether it's deformed or not.
They're willing to love a normal baby...
but ready to discard it if it's deformed? That's absurd.
People like that don't even deserve to raise children.
It's just a way of thought.
If a baby is born deformed,
it'll put a toll on both the baby and the parents.
If that's the case, it could be best not to have the baby at all.
Not many people think the way you do.
Would you have gotten an abortion if I was deformed?
Why can't you answer me?
Would you have gotten an abortion?
My goodness.
Let's just send him back to his parents.
You need to think about your future.
Until when are you going to revolve your life around him?
- I'm going to leave. - My gosh.
Let me go.
Okay, I won't say anything.
My gosh, this is so frustrating.
(CEO, Shin Hyun Joon)
Hey.
Hey, I'm glad you picked up.
I couldn't reach you until now.
Are you doing okay?
Yes.
I'm thinking about visiting your mom.
I should apologize to her...
before we actually go to court.
There's no need for that. You don't need to come.
That's the least I can do.
Your mom must feel really upset.
It's only right for me to visit her and apologize.
She's at the sanatorium, right?
Should we go visit her tomorrow?
My mom passed away.
What?
What are you doing here?
How could you not tell me that your mom passed away?
This is absurd.
Why would I tell you?
Honey, I'm her son-in-law.
We're not divorced yet.
I was her son-in-law for 14 years.
I should've been there as the chief mourner.
Why?
Is it because you don't want to feel guilty?
What?
I didn't want to grant you that kind of opportunity.
After I got married into that great family of yours,
I had to feel sorry every time I wanted to visit my mom.
And I never got to sleep over at my mom's even during the holidays.
I cooked three meals a day for both your parents.
Meanwhile, my mom was at the sanitarium.
But I wasn't even allowed...
to visit her 3 to 4 times a year.
I lived like that for the past 13 years.
All the sacrifice and effort I made...
has now turned into dust.
So why would I ask you to mourn as the son-in-law...
and have your parents come to mourn for my loss?
What good will that do to anyone?
You should go back.
I'll see you in court tomorrow.
I'm being tormented by this weary life
But they say I need to put up with it
Why do I need to put up with it?
I'm not even allowed to meet my own son and daughter-in-law.
Who am I even doing this for?
I'm not going to hold it in anymore.
What is it?
Am I not allowed to listen to your call?
Are you cheating?
Just focus on your work.
They say, "It's always the quiet ones that dread the fire."
Hey, Mom.
Sang Hyuk.
Hi, it's been a while.
Are you doing well?
Yes.
It's been so long since I've heard your voice like this.
I'm sorry.
Are you doing well?
Of course. I'm doing well.
You must've aged a lot, Mom.
Yes, I can't beat time.
I'm an old grandmother now.
You should get facial massages.
Is Min Kyung doing well?
Yes.
I met up with her a couple of times.
I'm sure you already know that.
But I actually want to meet you...
more than Min Kyung.
What about you? Don't you miss me?
Do you still resent me a lot?
No.
Thank you.
I think about you a lot these days.
Although, your dad's still angry at you.
Maybe it's because I'm old now.
But my wish is to live...
a happy and peaceful life...
with all my children.
Where did things go wrong?
Mom.
I don't want to see you.
I'll go visit you when I feel confident enough...
to face you.
I'm sorry.
Like father, like son.
I hope you stay healthy. Bye, Mom.
(Chungju Restaurant)
How adorable.
It would've been wonderful if he was Ji Young's baby.
My goodness, you startled me.
What are you doing?
What are you going to do with my number?
I just wanted to know your phone number.
How can you not tell your mom your phone number?
You better not call Sung Nam.
I'm going to die if he takes my baby.
How could you say that to your mom?
What did you just say?
He's more precious than my own life.
Life would be meaningless without Joon Su.
I'd rather die than live without him.
Fine, you brat. Go ahead and die.
I can't believe you'd hurt me by saying that...
after all I've been through to raise you.
I'll die right after you die.
So do whatever you want.
I'm going to go back to Seoul tomorrow.
My gosh.
You never once caused trouble while growing up.
But you're nothing but trouble now.
They say, "The nice ones always end up..."
"causing trouble toward the end."
What about you? Don't you miss me?
Do you still resent me a lot?
I think about you a lot these days.
Where did things go wrong?
Although my heart hurts
Unbearably
I cannot say a word
Because I'm a woman
You must be happy...
to have a son who's just like you.
Are you talking about Hyun Joon?
Hyun Joon?
Hyun Joon takes after me.
He's gentle, honest, and righteous.
Sang Hyuk's the one who takes after you.
He's so stubborn and obstinate.
Plus, he has so much pride.
I'm just saying.
You're late. Did you drink?
Yes.
I drank a little.
Kyung Shin's mother passed away.
- What? - What?
She took care of the funeral all by herself...
without even telling me a word.
We agreed to go to court tomorrow.
It's just what you guys wanted.
Are you happy now?
Hey, how can you say that?
How upset do you think she was...
to have done that?
She did nothing wrong...
aside from being unable to have children.
She wasn't even able to take care of her sick mother.
How dare you act this way?
Go upstairs, you punk!
Fine, I'll go.
Good night.
My gosh, I can't believe her.
How could she hold the funeral without telling us anything?
That's how relentless she is.
I don't like anything she does.
Would you have gone if you had known?
Of course.
She used to be my daughter-in-law.
My gosh, you're so dumb.
But then again, I made her get a divorce.
So it would've been a little awkward to go and mourn for her.
- Cheers! - Cheers!
- Drink up. - Let's drink.
- Nice. - Keep going.
Really?
If I invest 100,000 dollars,
will I really get 20,000 dollars every month?
You're lying.
I'm being serious.
The person you have reached is not available. Please leave a message...
My gosh.
(Ji Young's mom)
Ji Young's here with me. She gave birth.
She's leaving to Seoul tomorrow, so hurry up.
Is Ji Young there?
Why didn't you pick up?
Ji Young's going to leave now.
Did she give birth to a son?
He has Down's syndrome, doesn't he?
What? He's normal?
Are you serious?
Ms. Jo, make sure Ji Young doesn't leave before I get there.
Don't let her leave.
My gosh.
Let's go home.
My gosh, you should stay for a bit longer.
Why are you being so stubborn?
No, it must be hard for the owner to stay somewhere else.
I should get going now.
I also have a lot of work to finish.
But still, you should stay for a bit longer.
Are you waiting for someone?
No.
Joon Su, let's go back to Seoul.
Hey, come on. Stay for a big longer.
What's wrong with you? I can't.
I already stayed here more than enough.
Are you expecting someone?
No, I'm not expecting anyone.
I'm going to go now. Let's go.
Ji Young, you should at least have lunch.
Ji Young.
I'll go, Mom.
I know you really tried hard to take care of me.
Thank you.
My gosh, you should at least have lunch.
My goodness, we meet again.
It's me.
Is the baby doing well?
Sir.
Sir, please hurry.
I can't let that man catch me.
Is he the father?
No, no.
Please, sir. Hurry up and take me to Seoul.
Seoul?
You want me to drive you all the way to Seoul?
Yes, sir. Please hurry up.
Okay.
Sir, please hurry.
Where are you going? Where do you think you're going?
Hey, where are you going?
My gosh.
Hurry up and catch her. Hurry, Sung Nam.
Hurry up!
You really need to speed up.
Don't worry.
I may talk slow,
but I'm a really fast driver.
My gosh, you're always in a hurry when we meet.
My gosh!
(Court)
Let's meet on the scheduled date.
Do you want to eat?
I'll eat at home.
(Kang Sung Nam)
Who is it?
It's the surrogate's older brother.
What? Who does he think he is?
Hello? What do you want?
What's wrong? What did he say?
Ji Young...
gave birth to our baby.
But he's not deformed.
He's normal.
What?
(I am also Mother)
How could you call Sung Nam?
Then are you going to take care of that baby forever?
Don't tell Sung Nam my number.
I'm going to cut ties with you if you ever tell him.
It's worth his life.
You'll end up in prison if you try to scam us again.
Do you know that?
Who are you?
Are you Ji Young's mother?
Hello?
