(Chapter 11: Visual Design)
Just wait a little bit.
I'll master you as soon as I pay back the debt.
I'll pass the test in one go.
So just wait until then.
Hey.
Did you find out anything new?
I have a friend who's a cop, and he told me...
that it won't be easy to dig up that case.
Come on. That accident killed my brother-in-law.
And my sister even had a miscarriage.
We know car model and the last two digits of the license plate number.
How could they have not found the car yet?
The cops found the car, but it's hard to prove anything.
The dash cam footages were all deleted.
The owner of the car kept insisting that he's innocent...
and that he'll file a lawsuit...
for trying to frame him for something he didn't even do.
Why would the culprit admit to what he did wrong?
I think you're going against some powerful people.
The upper management doesn't seem very eager about this case either.
I know. They never seemed eager to investigate.
That person would've gone to prison if my sister's car had a dash cam.
Can you at least tell me who the culprit is?
If you do,
I won't bother you anymore.
My gosh, what are you going to do with that information?
You won't be able to prove that person guilty.
You might just end up ruining your life.
I know that. I'm not stupid.
Let's go.
My wife barely managed to find the owner of the car.
But it's hard to tell who drove the car that day.
But I did hear that there's a person with an unsure alibi.
Make sure to take your oriental medicine after you're done eating.
Okay.
I bought some for you as well.
It's good for increasing the number of your sperm.
We're...
also thinking about adopting.
What? You're thinking about adopting?
Why would you do that?
You should have your own kid.
I don't have to be related to a kid by blood in order to become a dad.
If I raise the child like my own, that kid will become my child.
Unbelievable.
Dad, please don't be so negative.
Just drop it.
I'm not going to listen to your nonsense.
Have you given up? Do you feel like you have no hope?
- Well... - No.
We'll give birth to our own child. We won't adopt.
What were you thinking? Why did you say that?
What if they get disappointed?
Let's have a baby.
I found a way.
What?
Let's find someone who can give birth to our baby.
- I'm talking about a surrogate. - A surrogate?
We can try in vitro fertilization...
and raise our baby in someone else's womb.
The baby will be 100 percent ours.
It'll be our bloodline.
I'm home, Min Kyung.
Min Kyung.
Are you sleeping already?
I'm sleepy.
Then...
let's sleep together.
Gosh, get away from me.
What? Then where should I go?
What is it? I'm old enough.
- What's wrong with my age? - Gosh, your breath stinks.
Will everything be okay?
A lot of infertile couples proceed with this kind of method.
It's our only way of having a baby that's 100 percent ours.
Are there any legal issues?
It's not legal, but it's not illegal either.
It's against the law to buy eggs or sperm.
But there's no legal regulation regarding surrogate mothers.
It's legal in some countries,
so we can even go abroad if we have to.
It's our last chance. The success rate is also very high.
If we don't do this, we'll have no choice but to get divorced.
Your parents will make you get married to someone else.
Are you okay with that?
What are you even thinking about?
Are you going to get divorced if they ask you to?
Why would I get divorced?
Fine, let's find a surrogate mother.
We should try everything we can.
Thank you.
Everything will be fine.
Yes.
Min Kyung.
Are you pregnant?
Really? Are you really pregnant?
I don't know. Don't talk to me. I'm tired.
Hey, Min Kyung. Thank you so much.
What are you thanking me for?
This is all because of you.
What's wrong?
It's not like we're not allowed to have a baby.
Who says I'm going to have this baby?
I barely managed to become popular.
I have a long way to go.
But if I have this baby, it'll ruin my life.
Why would it ruin your life?
You can start acting again after you give birth.
I'll make sure you can act for a long time.
Am I going to get roles of middle-aged women or aunts?
I don't want those kinds of roles.
I want to be the lead actress until I turn 40.
I don't want to lose my perfect physique.
You're already pregnant.
There's nothing you can do now, so just be grateful.
What kind of CEO are you?
You said you'll help me succeed. Are you sure you're doing your job?
Shouldn't you be the one to make a decision at times like this?
What decision?
Anyway, you better keep this a secret for the time being.
If you tell anyone, I'm just going to die.
(Wonhak Art Academy)
Ms. Yoon, you're here.
What's with the menu?
- It's a part-time job. - Oh, I see.
Didn't you say you also teach elementary school kids?
Yes, I teach them after school.
Gosh, you're so busy.
How many jobs do you have a day?
What are you going to do with all that money?
Is it okay if I work on this here?
All my art materials are here.
Sure, go ahead.
Thank you.
What do you think about trying this?
- It's nice. - Right?
- Can I take a phone call? - Okay, sure.
(Aunt)
Aunt Ki Sook.
Ji Young, have you been doing well?
Why didn't you pick up any of my calls?
I'm sorry.
Are you doing well?
I'm always doing well.
Dong Man told me that he ran into you.
I see.
What's going on with you?
Where are you? We should meet up.
I'm working right now.
Where are you working at?
At an art academy.
Where is it located? I'll go over to where you are.
Are you Ms. Yoon Ji Young?
Aunt Ki Sook, someone's here to see me.
I'll call you back later.
- Yes, I'm Yoon Ji Young. - Is Jo Young Ran your mother?
Where is she?
Let's talk outside.
Don't you know that it's illegal to come find me like this?
You can't just barge into my workplace. I'm not even the debtor.
Do you want me to call the cops?
I feel sorry for creditors.
The ones who borrowed money are so brazen.
I said I'll pay you back.
I asked you for a little bit more time.
Yes, we'd love to give you more time.
But the more time you get, the larger your debt becomes.
That means time equals money.
Even your older brother seems to be avoiding us.
Go tell him...
that if he keeps doing this,
we'll have no choice but to take things to the extreme.
We can be...
very extreme.
Okay?
I moved out.
It's not even worth that much.
Where are you going to live?
The creditors came to my academy earlier this morning.
They think you're avoiding them.
Gosh, why can't they just be patient?
They were even looking for my mom.
But she won't have any money to give them.
Those guys will do whatever they can to get their money back.
They'll skin her if they have to.
Did you find the culprit regarding the hit-and-run accident?
Just give me some more time. It's going well.
Did you find evidence?
It's not as easy as it sounds.
I'm planning a strategy, so I'm sure the culprit will soon get caught.
Please catch him no matter what.
Whoever did such a thing deserves to get punished.
- I'll never forgive that person. - What are you talking about?
Getting compensated is more important than them going to prison.
The biggest punishment they can get is to pay us a lot of money.
Sung Nam.
Let's use this chance to get rid of all our debt.
Then Dad will get released, and your mom will come back.
We're...
also thinking about adopting.
I don't have to be related to a kid by blood in order to become a dad.
If I raise the child like my own, that kid will become my child.
- I'll see you when I come home. - Where are you going?
I'm on my way to the hospital.
I'm getting a hormone shot today.
Oh, really? I'll go with you.
Pardon? You're going to come with me?
Why? Am I not allowed to go?
I want to go there and hear what the doctor has to say.
I already tell you everything.
I want to hear it directly from the doctor.
I also have a lot of questions.
Maybe next time. I'll be a little busy today.
- See you when I get back. - My goodness. Hey.
What was that?
(Leah Women's Hospital)
I'm going to the hospital.
Does she not have a driver?
- Hello. - Hi.
What do you think about using a surrogate mother to have a baby?
Oh, a surrogate mother?
It's totally possible.
Your eggs are all healthy.
So if you insert your fertilized egg into a healthy uterus,
you'll be able to have a baby.
Right?
I read a story online about a person with adenomyoma.
She was able to have a baby by using a surrogate mother.
Have you talked about this with Hyun Joon?
Yes, he's up for it.
That's our one and only chance.
You're going to help me out, right?
Of course. Using a surrogate mother isn't against the law.
But I'm pretty sure it won't be easy to find one.
Can you introduce me to anyone?
No, I can't do that. We don't have enough information for that.
But don't you know any brokers who do stuff like that?
I'm not sure since I'm not a broker.
Why don't you look for someone at an internet cafe?
A lot of people seem to find surrogate mothers there.
Are you going to do it in Korea?
Yes, I feel safer here with you.
And it'll be easier for me to keep things on track.
Do your in-laws know about this?
No, I didn't tell them yet.
I'll tell them once everything goes well.
What?
You want to bug that person?
Isn't that illegal?
I won't be able to catch the culprit by following the law.
I'm not a detective.
But how are you going to use that to find the culprit?
The accident happened a year ago. I'm sure they won't talk about it.
That's why we need to call the culprit...
and tell them...
that we know everything.
Then they'll obviously deny it.
I know, but at least...
that will get her to talk to her husband...
so that they can come up with a solution.
Is the culprit a woman?
The owner of the car is a woman, but we can't be sure yet.
Someone else could've drove that day.
It could've been her driver.
Let's first record her voice and use that to...
She's coming out.
Hey, did you meet Hye Rim?
Yes, I did. She says it's totally possible.
Our fertilized egg is healthy,
so it'll be successful as long as we find a healthy uterus.
Really? That's great.
Then let's give it a try.
But finding a surrogate mother is the problem.
We need to find one as soon as possible.
A surrogate mother?
Can't Hye Rim introduce you to anyone?
Doctors are apparently now allowed to do stuff like that.
We need to find one ourselves.
Where are we going to find one?
I sometimes see some women writing online...
that they're willing to be a surrogate mother.
Hye Rim's hospital also has a site called...
"Subfertile Mothers of Leah". I'm going to search there.
It's an online gathering of subfertile mothers,
so I'm sure brokers would be interested.
You're right.
How much will that cost?
I think it'll cost a couple hundred thousand dollars.
I'm home.
Hey, we need to go somewhere.
Where?
Let's try going to another hospital other than Hye Rim's.
I'm going to take you to a famous doctor I know...
and have you get a checkup.
That's not necessary.
Hye Rim's taking good care of me.
Yes, I get that. But you've been going there for a while,
but you're still not pregnant.
On top of that, Hyun Joon's even thinking about adopting.
I already made a reservation, so he'll be waiting. Let's go now.
I'm really tired today.
I'd rather just rest at home.
It's really hard to make a reservation there.
I barely managed to make a reservation,
so stop saying you're tired.
Follow me.
Mother.
What?
Are you hiding something from me?
What is it?
I'm...
infertile.
I have adenomyosis.
Adenomyosis?
What's that?
It's an illness where the endometrium starts swelling up.
It's incurable.
I'm sorry.
And you...
still had the guts to drink all the oriental medicine I gave you...
while lying to us?
I only recently found out.
My goodness, what are we going to do?
So that's why Hyun Joon said he's willing to adopt.
Did you ask him to say that?
No, we're not going to adopt.
What?
Then how are you going to continue our family tree?
You said you're infertile.
We decided to hire a surrogate mother.
What? A surrogate mother?
- Hello, Father. - Hey.
Where's your mother-in-law?
What happened?
How dare you stay in bed when your husband's home?
We're in trouble.
What are we going to do?
What's wrong?
Kyung Shin is infertile.
She has an illness called adenomyosis or something.
She might even have to get a hysterectomy.
What?
And after telling me all that,
she said she's going to use a surrogate mother.
What's a surrogate mother?
She's going to make someone give birth to her baby.
My gosh, she's so brazen.
How can she even think of doing that...
when she's about to cut our bloodline?
Shouldn't she be telling us that she'll get divorced?
What...
Forget about using a surrogate mother.
What kind of nonsense is that?
Please leave it to us.
We'll take care of everything.
What are you talking about?
Your wife should be the one giving birth to your baby.
But what? You're going to ask some other woman to do that for you?
We're only borrowing her uterus.
She'll be injected with our fertilized egg,
so the baby will have our DNA.
A lot of people are doing it with the improvement of science.
No!
What if other people find out? It'll be so humiliating.
I won't let that happen.
I'll keep it a secret no matter what.
That's enough!
Dad, it's our life and our baby.
Your baby?
It's my grandchild.
And he'll be inheriting all my fortune.
So you have no right.
- Dad. - Get divorced.
You guys have done enough.
Give her a good amount of alimony.
I can't get divorced.
I can't break up with her just because she can't have kids.
That's not even a legitimate reason for a divorce.
Why not?
In our family, that's more than enough of a reason to get a divorce.
Don't you know how to cheat?
Why can't you just have a baby with someone else?
Let me try using a surrogate baby. I'm sure we'll succeed.
Please give me one more chance.
I can't just let her go without even trying.
My gosh.
- My goodness. - Unbelievable.
- My gosh. - I can't believe this.
You arrogant punk.
(Chairman Shin Tae Jong)
(Chairman Shin Tae Jong, the Top 100 CEOs of Korea)
I think you're going against some powerful people.
The upper management doesn't seem very eager about this case either.
My gosh, what are you going to do with that information?
You won't be able to prove that person guilty.
You might just end up ruining your life.
But finding a surrogate mother is the problem.
We need to find one as soon as possible.
I've never had a woman drive my car before.
What's wrong?
I'm sorry, but can you sit in the back?
Why? I like sitting here.
I'm sorry, but please sit in the back. I'll take you home safely.
Gosh, what kind of person do you think I am?
I'm not that type of person.
Yes, I know that. I'm sorry.
But there have been some issues between female drivers...
and male customers these days.
So I'm just trying to follow the rule.
Please follow the rule so that we both won't get in any trouble.
I'm really sorry.
My gosh.
Everyone, let's get ready for the next scene.
You don't seem so well. Are you sick?
No, I'm fine.
Is Sang Hyuk doing well?
Yes.
Why won't he at least call his mother?
Is Father doing well?
Aren't you going to get pregnant?
Why aren't you guys having a baby yet?
You need to get pregnant...
in order for Sang Hyuk and his father to reconcile.
I'm sorry.
I have two daughters-in-law,
but not one of them will get pregnant.
What about Kyung Shin? Is she not pregnant yet?
I don't see any hope in her anymore.
Hurry up and get pregnant. We're running out of time.
I already told you that I can't because of work.
Is work so important?
Who's going to acknowledge any of that?
If you get pregnant,
it'll be good for you, Sang Hyuk, and the entire family.
Why be a good-for-nothing celebrity...
when you can be the daughter-in-law of our family?
"A good-for-nothing celebrity"?
People will call you old-fashioned if anyone hears you say that.
Everyone wants to be a celebrity these days.
Did you forget how old-fashioned our family is?
Sang Hyuk dropped out of college...
and applied to become a member of a boy band.
And that's why he got kicked out.
But he still succeeded.
He's the CEO of an agency.
How grand of him.
But your father-in-law thinks of all you celebrities as clowns.
My gosh, how annoying.
She talks as if I'm a birth giving machine.
She used to ignore me so much.
My gosh, I'm so sick of her.
They said they're not going to inherit a single penny to us.
I wonder if that'll change if I get pregnant.
No way. I can't have a baby yet.
I just started becoming popular.
Gosh, whose baby am I pregnant with?
(I'm going to try having a test-tube baby.)
(Offering help regarding surrogate mothers)
(We're offering help finding surrogate mothers.)
(Please call the following number if you need any help.)
Hello?
I read a post saying you offer help in finding surrogate mothers.
Yes. You called the right number.
(I am also Mother)
What are you going to do if you fail?
Are you going to ask us for more time?
They're a really powerful family.
I'll do it, so tell me what to do.
I'm never going to forgive that person.
Sir, we have a situation.
If you're stalling to get more money, let's just drop the deal.
Hey, lady.
I heard you're unwilling to work on a 500,000-dollar project.
Are you not going to pay us back?
They're looking for a surrogate mother.
How do you expect me to be pregnant again?
No, I don't want to do it.
