According to her blood test,
the baby might have Down syndrome.
What?
How high is the possibility?
Five percent.
Doctor Oh, exactly how bad is that?
It's considered pretty serious starting from 0.003 percent.
If it was lower than 0.001 percent, I would've told you not to worry.
That means the possibility is very high.
But that doesn't mean your baby will definitely have Down syndrome.
It's just a probability.
I think we'll have to test...
the surrogate's amniotic fluid to be sure or not.
Excuse me.
Doctor Oh, could this be because I ate something I shouldn't have?
No. Deformed babies are considered as mutation.
It has nothing to do with what you eat.
Kyung Shin, don't be so disappointed.
I had a patient who was in the same situation as you,
but her baby turned out to be perfectly normal.
Really?
(Subfertility Clinic, Amniotic Fluid Testing Room)
Ms. Choi.
Do you really want me to take the test?
Of course, I do.
I thought maybe it'd be better not to know.
What if...
What if the baby turns out to be deformed?
But that might not be the case.
Don't you think it'd be better to trust that it'll be healthy...
and be grateful for the life you're given...
and have the baby as fate would have it?
It's my baby.
I'm the one who'll decide what to do.
It's hard to find the right spot.
We don't want to hurt the baby.
There it is.
(Yoon Ji Young)
The test results will be out in two weeks.
We have to wait that long?
That's how long it takes to culture the cells from her amniotic fluid.
How accurate is the test?
It's over 99 percent accurate. You could say it's 100 percent.
Mother, I'm home.
Hey.
What did the doctor say? Is the baby okay?
Yes.
My gosh, I'm so relieved. I was so worried.
I was worried because of your old age.
But I feel so much better now.
I'm so proud of my grandson.
Does that mean everything's okay now?
Yes.
I should tell your father-in-law.
He may not show it, but I'm sure he's really worried.
Where did I put my cell phone?
(High risk of birth defect)
You went to the hospital today, didn't you?
What did the doctor say?
According to the blood test, the baby might have Down syndrome.
- What? - But even if that's the case,
the baby could turn out to be normal after an amniotic fluid test.
I've read a lot of stories like that online.
I hope so.
It's a son, so I really hope the baby doesn't have any defects.
How's Dad doing?
Has his health improved?
He's receiving treatment, and he's become a lot better.
We moved to another place. We gave our house to the loan sharks.
Then where did you move to?
We moved to a shabby place.
You know whose fault this is, right?
My gosh, we really need to get the remaining money.
You better do well.
I'm going to kill you if the baby turns out to be deformed.
Sang Hyuk.
Why are you so old-fashioned?
Can't you think more open-mindedly?
You're talking nonsense. Why would you need a surrogate?
Look at Cristiano Ronaldo.
He even had babies using a surrogate...
even when he had a girlfriend.
He did that to protect his wealth.
Plus, he's a guy.
Have you ever seen a woman do that?
Sarah Jessica Parker, the Hollywood actress.
She also hired a surrogate,
and she even had twins.
That happened in the States.
What's the big difference?
I'm an actress as well. I can't work...
if I lose my physique and start having morning sickness.
You already saw...
how much I had to go through because of my morning sickness.
That's why I got an abortion.
I couldn't keep it.
I was scared that I'd get caught.
What if the baby really turned out to be yours?
My mother-in-law would make me get divorced.
Okay, I get it.
I'm hungry. Let me eat.
July 12?
That's four days earlier than the expected date.
Mr. Jung told me that the baby...
needs to be born between 4pm to 5pm of that day...
in order to have a great fortune.
He told us that we should have the baby then.
My goodness, how good will his fortune be?
I'll read what he wrote out loud.
Okay, good idea.
"If he's born in the time of the monkey,"
"he will become an outstanding man who will improve..."
"both his family and business."
"Thanks to his surroundings,"
"he will always be overflowing with money."
"However, he lacks gold and water."
"Therefore, he needs to be born in the time of the monkey..."
"in order to receive the energy of gold and become successful."
My goodness, that's such a great fortune.
Hey, you better make the surrogate get a C-section at that hour.
Okay.
Because he lacks the energy of water,
we shall name him Jae Woong which has a Chinese meaning...
of "purity" and "male", and that will make him become successful.
My goodness, that sounds great. Shin Jae Woong.
The name sounds so manly and grand.
What do you think, honey?
Do you like the name?
Yes.
- It's perfect. - Right?
- It's nice. - I think it's a nice name.
- That sounds perfect. - You guys did well.
Gosh, I did nothing.
Kyung Shin's the one who did everything.
(A misreading of the congenital anomaly test)
(Down's syndrome examination)
I didn't know people read their baby's fortunes beforehand...
and gave birth at the designated time.
Does she know that she needs to get a C-section?
Did you write that in the contract?
Honey.
Yes?
What if our baby turns out to be deformed?
Why are you talking nonsense? You told us he's normal.
Yes, he is.
What's wrong?
Is there something going on?
No, not really.
I'm just worried that a problem might occur later on.
You're way too sensitive, honey.
You worry about unnecessary things.
But then again,
you've been through so much, so I understand.
Let's go to sleep.
(Leah Women's Hospital)
(Yoon Mi Yeon)
(Yoon Ji Young)
(Yoon Mi Yeon, Yoon Ji Young)
Hey, Ye Eun.
Yes.
I'm working.
What do you mean you want to break up?
What? You're going where?
To Australia? When?
Why are you doing this to me?
- Mom. - I'm back in Seoul.
Can we meet?
What?
Sure.
Welcome.
Over here.
Did you gain weight?
Why are you wearing such baggy clothes?
What are you doing here in Seoul?
I met him.
I was worried that he might be really sick.
You met Dad?
Yes.
I thought he'd be dying, but he's doing fine.
He just needs to take his medicine regularly.
By the way, he thinks you're abroad.
Did you tell him that you were going abroad?
I see.
Should I...
ask your aunt if she could lend me some money?
Maybe I could start a restaurant.
Mom.
Gosh, this is seriously driving me crazy.
Until when do I need to live like this?
Just stop it.
Can't you just live a quiet life?
I should stack up some more mascara.
Mother.
My goodness, my son.
My baby.
Why did you lose so much weight?
What are you doing?
Salute.
Nice to meet you. I'm Corporal Kim Dong Hoon,
and I live in the same barrack as your son, ma'am.
Welcome. It's nice to meet you.
The army is tough, isn't it?
Mother, have you been doing well?
Yes, of course.
How's my sister doing?
Your sister?
She goes to a makeup academy these days.
My sister wishes to work...
as a makeup artist at a broadcasting station.
I see.
He told me that his sister is very beautiful.
Bong Kyu?
Of course, she's beautiful. She takes after me.
Her name's Bong Kyu?
Where is she?
She's at home. She's practicing putting makeup on.
Do you have your phone with you?
I asked you to bring it with you.
Oh, right.
Here you go.
It's been so long since I've held a smartphone in my hands.
Corporal Kim, would you like to talk to my sister via video chat?
Sure, go ahead.
Hey, soldier.
Hey, Bong Kyu. I'm on a leave. I'm at Mom's store.
I called you via video chat. Let me see your face.
- Why? - Bong Kyu.
There's someone here who really wants to see you.
Hurry up and show me your face.
Who wants to see me?
My gosh, she's Joker.
What's wrong?
What's wrong with him? He's the one who called.
Hey. Hey!
Buddha.
Please protect my baby.
Buddha.
Please protect my baby.
Please.
(Sung Nam)
I came to a Buddhist temple with Ms. Choi.
She's praying right now.
Will the result be coming out tomorrow?
What time are you going to go to the hospital?
In the morning.
Then call me as soon as you get the result, okay?
Okay.
Your mom's really worried.
You know that, right?
You should visit your mom tonight in her dreams...
and tell her that you'll be born as a healthy child.
Tell her to cheer up.
(Leah Women's Hospital)
Hey.
What are you doing?
I'm thinking about my new business.
While playing the guitar?
What brings you here? Are you here to nag at me again?
- Can we hire a surrogate? - No.
You're so selfish.
Am I selfish for wanting to follow the laws of nature?
Fine, then. I want you to choose 1 between the 2.
Is it me or the baby?
Please leave.
I need to meet someone for business.
Are you seriously going to be like this?
Why are you being so uncooperative?
Min Kyung, did you meet my mom recently?
What?
I guess you did. No wonder you've been acting this way.
I'm sure you're being like this because my mom...
said something to you regarding your recent scandal.
You're scared I might not get any inheritance, aren't you?
No.
I already told you this when we got married, and I'll say it again.
I'm not going to receive a single penny from my family.
I'm going to give up my inheritance.
What? That makes no sense.
I'll become rich,
and I'll give you more money. Will you be happy then?
Instead, if you really want to have a baby,
you can get pregnant yourself. Okay?
Doctor Jeon, are you sure this is the correct result...
for Yoon Ji Young?
Yes.
No, I mean, are you really sure?
Are you sure you're not mistaken?
No, I gave you exactly what the test result said.
(Test Result)
Ms. Yoon Ji Young.
Doctor Oh, is he...
I'm so sorry, Kyung Shin.
Are you sure?
Are you 100 percent sure? Did you check?
Who wrote this?
I need to check with that person myself.
I checked with the researcher numerous times.
He said it's correct.
You said everything will be fine.
You said the fertilized egg was in the best condition!
I also really feel upset about this situation.
What?
My gosh, how unlucky can we get?
What did you eat to cause this kind of trouble?
The doctor calls it a mutation.
But I'm not quite sure.
I sometimes ate instant foods when I suffered from morning sickness.
And even though I was told not to go outside,
I still went outside and inhaled all the exhaust and bad air.
Or maybe it's because I walked past a guy who smoked.
That's why you should've been careful.
None of that would've been good for the baby.
So what does she want? Does she want you to get an abortion?
How could you say that?
Then do you think that family will want the baby?
My baby...
Please save my baby.
Please save my baby!
It'll be okay.
You'll be fine, Bestie.
Don't worry about a thing, and stay positive.
Okay?
Ms. Choi.
I can't just give up.
Let's get tested again.
You want me to get another amniotic fluid test?
Yes, let's go to a general hospital instead of going to Hye Rim's.
Let's go to the biggest general hospital in our country.
But Doctor Oh's hospital isn't just an ordinary private hospital.
It specializes in treating subfertility.
But still, we never know.
Who knows what could've happened?
There could've been a mistake.
Who knows how the result might change?
Okay, I understand.
(Hanguk General Hospital)
Are you saying the amniotic fluid test showed results of...
your baby having Down syndrome,
but you want to get it checked again?
Yes, doctor.
We never know.
Can she get another test done?
But the baby's grown too big to carry out another test.
What?
Does that mean we can't take the test?
It's not only gotten bigger, but it keeps moving.
The needle might end up hurting the baby.
And even if you get tested now, the baby will be around...
23 weeks old once the results come out.
Then it'll have turned into a fetus.
Getting an abortion is illegal.
And even if you try, it'll be very difficult.
So why would you bother getting another test?
Let's still give it another try.
We might encounter a miracle.
Ms. Choi.
Do I really need to take the test?
The doctor even said it himself.
It'll be dangerous for the baby if we do it now.
I was really nervous even when Doctor Oh stuck a needle...
into my belly last time.
I'm fine with the pain.
But the baby could get infected, bleed out,
or even die because of the needle.
I was so worried about what might happen.
Even you couldn't breathe properly back then because you were worried.
But right now, it's even worse.
Can we just go back?
Let's just go home for today.
Ji Young!
(Hanguk General Hospital)
You have no right to make a decision.
It's my baby.
I need to know...
whether or not this baby is deformed.
But you already know.
I'll take the test...
if you ask me to.
This is your baby,
and I'm just a surrogate.
But we'll be getting the results in two weeks.
And by then, the baby will have grown too much.
It'll have a head, body, arms and legs.
It'll also have eyes, a nose, and a mouth.
It'll be a lot bigger than it is now.
He'll have grown into a human being.
Then what are you going to do?
It'll be harder for you to give up the baby then.
So what are you going to do?
What do you want me to do?
Ms. Choi.
Let's just have the baby.
Let's stop taking any more tests.
Let's love the baby...
and be grateful that the skies blessed us with it.
Let's...
protect this baby.
We're...
mothers.
I want you to go home.
I'll call you after I discuss it with my husband.
We'll be the ones to decide.
(Hanguk General Hospital)
Hey, honey.
What am I going to do?
What happened?
What's going on?
Honey, we're in trouble.
Why?
Our baby...
is deformed.
What?
I'm sorry.
What do you mean?
I thought he was fine.
You said he was normal.
I didn't want to disappoint anyone.
So I was going to tell you once things became sure.
I wanted to wait for the amniotic fluid test results.
But...
it turned out be true.
Why?
What went wrong?
He has microcephaly.
Everything was fine with my egg and your sperm.
I think it's because of drugs.
Ji Young apparently...
took a tranquilizer in her early stages of pregnancy.
(I am also Mother)
- He's deformed? - What's your problem?
Why did you let her take that kind of drug?
They won't want you to give birth to a deformed child.
Do you know them?
I'll give birth. Instead, it'll be through artificial insemination.
"If Choi Kyung Shin requests Yoon Ji Young to get an abortion,"
"Yoon Ji Young will do as Choi Kyung Shin asks."
- Abide by the contract. - Please reconsider.
I really want to give birth to this baby.
I'm sorry.
