I...
don't think we can continue dating.
Let's break up.
Your family will never be able to accept me as your girlfriend.
Why? Based on what grounds?
I'm so disappointed in you.
Every time you'd say anything like this, I told you to trust me.
I told you that I'd wait and that I'd keep my promises.
But why do you keep doing this?
Ji Young.
Is it so hard for you to trust me?
I'm sorry.
You said you didn't want to regret.
You said that yourself.
Are you sure you won't end up regretting this?
Yes, I'm sure I won't regret it.
What? You saw Ms. Wendy...
- at your uncle's company? - Yes.
Gosh, don't worry.
It just turned out to be someone who looked similar.
He thinks everyone with long hair is Ms. Wendy.
No, I'm sure she was Ms. Wendy.
Gosh, why would Ms. Wendy be there in the first place?
- No. No. - Stop.
- I told you not to talk about her. - Grandpa.
Yes, Ms. Wendy has no reason to be there.
So don't look for her anymore, okay?
Gosh.
My goodness.
- Hello. - Hello.
You're all here.
We all watched a movie and came to eat.
Okay, great.
He's Se Young's dad.
- Is it your first time meeting him? - Yes.
Hello, my name is Noh Mi Hyun.
Hey, Ms. Noh.
It's not your first time. You met him once.
I did?
Please be understanding. She has a really bad drinking habit.
She's very different before she drinks and after she drinks.
Well, tell me if you need anything. Okay?
- Okay. - Thank you.
I'm so worried about her.
- Cheers. - Cheers.
You did great today.
Those two aren't here again.
Mr. Shin and Ms. Yoon.
Do you think they're dating?
I knew they were dating from the get go.
I'm very quick-witted. They're dating, right?
No, they're not dating.
I promise that nothing's going on between them.
- Really? - Are you sure?
Is your sister not coming today?
You met Se Young's sister?
I met her on opening day. She's really pretty.
What?
- You have very bad eyesight. - Yes.
Is she prettier than me?
- Yes. - No.
Can you not drink?
This will be my first and last drink. Okay?
No, no. She changes completely.
Get to your senses. Come on.
- What's wrong with you? - No, stop.
Gosh, stop it. I'm crazy. No, no.
I need to stop.
You must like vanilla ice cream, Tae Woong.
I like vanilla ice cream too.
You and I have the same taste.
- What about you? - Me?
I prefer chocolate ice cream than vanilla ice cream.
I don't like chocolate ice cream.
Me neither.
Why does this suddenly taste so good?
(Sang Hyuk)
Hey.
Hey, what's wrong with women?
Let me ask you something.
Why all of a sudden? Did something happen?
My girlfriend wants to break up.
She found out about my family, and she apparently feels pressured.
How can that even be a valid reason?
Does she have a lot to be embarrassed about?
We both once got divorced.
Everything's the same aside from the fact that my family's a bit rich.
Your family isn't a bit rich. You guys are loaded.
Any normal person would feel pressured.
But I'm fine with her. I have no problems with her whatsoever.
So why does that even have to be a problem?
Then she told me that she won't regret breaking up with me.
Gosh, I don't know if she's being sincere or fickle.
I really don't get what she really wants.
Calm down.
So tell me. How do you feel?
Do you want to break up as well?
No way. Why would I break up because of that?
What if your parents disapprove of her as well?
Why would they disapprove?
They'll love her once they find out what a great girl she is.
It's just a matter of time.
Then don't lose her and push forward with it.
After unexpectedly finding out how rich your family is,
she might've gotten scared and she might want you to hold onto her.
Women sometimes act fickle because they want to see...
how much their men love them.
Really? Is that what this is?
Gosh, women are so difficult.
I'm really curious about who she is.
Who's attractive enough to make you feel so nervous?
Are you kidding?
I called because I felt so frustrated.
I thought Min Kyung would've told you by now.
Min Kyung knows her?
She recently barged into my office.
So I got really angry...
and introduced her to my girlfriend.
What? Who?
You know her too. Yoon Ji Young.
Talking to you really calmed me down.
I was so angry earlier. I don't get why women are so complicated.
You're dating Ji Young?
You told me that you weren't dating her...
and that she's nothing but your colleague at work.
She kept drawing a line until then.
So I was going to treat her like a colleague.
But she recently opened up.
Anyway, thanks. I'll call you again.
Ji Young.
- You're here. - Yes.
Did you meet Mr. Shin today?
What did you do? Did you tell him?
I just told him that we should break up.
Did you also tell him...
that you gave birth to Tae Woong?
No, I didn't think that was necessary.
It'll already be difficult for him.
I just told him that we should break up because I'm not confident.
And did he just let you go?
He got angry and left.
It felt like he was sick and tired of me.
It's actually for the best.
Even I would get sick of someone like me.
Then are things over between you two?
Okay.
It must've been hard for you. You should rest up.
How's Ji Young?
Ji Young apparently broke up with Mr. Shin.
Just act like you don't know anything.
Don't bother her.
Can't she just date him?
That's nonsense.
Why?
She gave birth to his older brother's son.
That's all she did. It's not like they were in a relationship.
She didn't sleep with him or anything.
Do you really think that way?
- Yes. - Then let's say...
Mr. Shin and Ji Young got married.
What would Ji Young be to Tae Woong?
Mom? Aunt?
What?
She'd be his aunt.
What?
Gosh, how...
(TS Cosmetics)
- Hello. - Hi.
Hi.
Mr. Shin.
Se Young just told us...
that Ms. Yoon won't be coming to work starting from today.
What's that supposed to mean? Did she quit?
No, she's just on vacation.
He says she's on vacation.
But she's not.
(Letter of resignation)
Yes?
How's Ji Young doing?
She's just at home.
Is she going through something?
What is it? Do you know anything?
Tell me if you do.
No, I don't know anything.
But...
Ji Young really means it this time.
So you should just do as she says.
What?
You know her too. Yoon Ji Young.
My girlfriend wants to break up.
She found out about my family, and she apparently feels pressured.
Good thinking, Ji Young. You made the right choice.
No way. Why would I break up because of that?
Why would they disapprove?
They'll love her once they find out what a great girl she is.
It's just a matter of time.
No, Sang Hyuk.
Come in.
Kyung Shin.
How do you feel?
I feel okay. What's all this?
I brought you some meat.
You're pregnant, so you should eat well.
You didn't have to.
I had Tae Woong thanks to you.
This is the least I can do.
Ji Young was the one who gave birth to Tae Woong.
Why would you bring her up?
She's just a surrogate who received money for giving birth to him.
Min Kyung really wants to have Sang Hyuk's child.
But I heard you discarded his sperm. Is that true?
Yes.
Gosh, I feel bad for her. She must feel so upset.
How long have you been pregnant?
- It's been 2 months and a half. - 10 weeks?
It reminds me of back when we contemplated on...
having Tae Woong or not after the amniotic fluid test.
I still feel sorry.
You get pregnant really easily.
You got pregnant on your first try. I envy you.
Now that I'm pregnant,
I can finally understand how upset you must've felt back then.
You must've felt so sorry...
to your precious and feeble baby.
You can't possibly describe that feeling in words.
Of course, it's all in the past now.
By the way, I'm really disappointed in Sang Hyuk's girlfriend.
They were supposed to have dinner with me and Hyun Joon...
last weekend for the sake of introducing her to the family.
But they canceled last minute.
It was so rude of them.
I wonder what kind of person she is.
Don't you know who she is yet?
What?
I'm talking about Sang Hyuk's girlfriend.
No, I don't know.
She's doing well.
I'm practicing really hard.
I've improved a lot as well. Do you want to see?
The person you have reached is not available.
Please leave a message after the beep.
I think we should meet.
Let's talk.
Welcome.
Hey.
What brings you to call me at this hour? Didn't you go to work?
I quit.
- Why? - I just did.
What a lame answer.
Who quits their job without a reason?
Did you find a new job?
Yes, I'm working at a Korean restaurant.
That's great. Congratulations.
Does that mean you're not going back to Busan?
My mom brought my son and came to Seoul.
He kept wanting to live with me.
We got ourselves a small place and moved in there.
That's great.
You don't look so well.
Is there something going on?
Tell me.
We told each other everything ever since we became close in Busan.
Are you going through something bad?
That's the story of my life.
Then are you saying the man you like is the uncle...
of the baby you gave birth to?
My gosh, this is unbelievable.
By any chance, is that baby Tony?
My goodness.
This is so shocking.
I can't believe this is even possible.
No wonder Tony's parents ran over and threw a fit.
I couldn't dare tell him about that.
I didn't want him to be reminded of that every time he saw Tae Woong.
Then he wouldn't know why you want to break up with him.
Did he seem to understand?
He just got angry.
Of course.
I would've also thought, "What's this girl's problem?"
"Is she playing a joke or what?"
But it's better that he doesn't know.
I can't tell him.
I personally think you should tell him.
Why?
Once you understand why things can't work out,
time will eventually heal all wounds.
But if you just end it like this, it'll be too cruel for him.
His scar will only get bigger due to hate and resentment.
If you really want to end it, just tell him everything.
Hye Rim.
Why did you call me?
Can you take this?
It's meat. Where did you get it from?
A friend of mine came by and gave it to me.
Gosh, this is premium class Korean beef.
It'll taste great if we grill it.
How about we eat this together at your place?
- My place? - Yes.
It's your gift, so I can't eat it all by myself.
The least I can do is eat it with you.
Then let's split it in half.
Hye Rim, we're both single.
And meat never tastes nice when you eat it alone.
Let's eat it together.
Gosh, I don't feel like eating meat.
How you feel doesn't matter.
If you freeze it, it won't taste as good.
We need to eat it today.
I need to eat something nice because I haven't had an appetite lately.
Okay, fine.
Then I'll see you later at your place.
Then you can bring this. It's heavy.
Okay.
I'm in no place to be eating meat right now.
Hey, Hyun Joon.
Dad wants you to come home for dinner.
You should come over.
Why?
He has something to tell you. I'll see you later.
How could you be so rude and cancel your appointment...
with Hyun Joon and Kyung Shin?
I told you that he had an urgent meeting.
Then why don't you guys set another date?
When would you like to meet?
She's on vacation right now.
Until when?
I don't know. Maybe about a week or two.
Who takes such long vacations?
Just bring her home.
Why bother introduce her to us separately?
Just tell her that I want to meet her.
I'll bring her home when it's time.
What are you talking about? Bring her home on Saturday.
You guys better stay at home that day.
- Okay. - Okay.
Okay? Why do you keep trying to hide her from us?
What does she do?
She's just a normal woman who works at an office.
What's her family like?
I liked you for 20 years ever since we were freshmen in college.
Will you accept my heart?
20 years? My goodness.
Jin Kook.
Come in.
You brought flowers?
Oh, they're...
I'm surprised you even bought these.
You only used to carry around math books.
You even brought wine?
Yes. To enjoy it with the meat.
- I can't drink. - Why not?
Take a seat.
Should I grill the meat?
I always grilled the meat when we went on trips back in college.
And you burned everything.
You were too focused on figuring out...
the chemical formula of protein and oxygen.
Really?
Just do the dishes later. You're not used to the kitchen anyway.
Okay.
So this is where you live.
Isn't it too big for you to live all by yourself?
No, it's just the right size.
- I'm going to go wash my hands. - The bathroom is on your left.
What's this?
Why do you collect baby supplies?
You're not even married.
If you're into that kind of stuff, just get married and have a baby.
Should I help you out?
Gosh, just eat your meat and get lost.
(Maternity Journal)
Hey, let's eat. The meat tastes nice.
What are you looking at?
It's written in detail.
Whose is this?
Is it yours?
Yes.
I'm 10 weeks pregnant.
Gosh.
It's weird.
It felt like he was avoiding it.
I know. Do you think something's wrong with their relationship?
It feels like his girlfriend isn't so keen on meeting us.
Most girls would love...
to become the daughter-in-law of this family.
I wonder what's wrong.
I think she has something she wants to hide.
I wonder what that is.
What are you talking about? Bring her home on Saturday.
You guys better stay at home that day.
She won't pick up my calls, and she won't reply to my texts.
Why is she acting this way?
You guys know, don't you?
Sir, please tell me.
Is there something I don't know about?
I don't know.
I don't think you guys should see each other.
What are you talking about?
You told me to hold onto her no matter what.
I don't think you guys are meant to be.
We really like you, and it's a pity that things have to end like this.
But you guys aren't destined to be together,
so please let Ji Young go.
Please.
Yes?
My gosh, Mr. Shin.
Hey. Is Ji Young home?
I'm here to see Ji Young. Can you tell her to come outside?
She's kind of...
Tell her that I'll wait here until she comes outside.
What should I do?
He's still outside.
Ji Young, can't you just date him?
I'd date him if I were you.
What's the problem? You guys like each other.
Why do care about what other people think?
Good luck, Ji Young.
Ji Young, I was angry at first.
But something feels odd now.
You're not acting like yourself, and your family's acting different too.
Everything has suddenly changed.
Is there something I don't know about?
I really didn't want to tell you this at first.
But I think I should in order to help you fully understand...
why our relationship has to end.
There's no reason why our relationship needs to end.
I'm going to keep my promise...
and stay by your side regardless of whatever you tell me.
You won't be able to keep that promise once you hear what it is.
What is it? Tell me.
I was Choi Kyung Shin and Shin Hyun Joon's surrogate.
I gave birth to Tae Woong.
What?
(I am also Mother)
We should make him get married within this year.
This time, we better make sure he gets married to someone decent.
He already got scolded once. He doesn't need to go through it again.
I'm sure she has a huge flaw that she doesn't want to show us.
This Saturday is going to be fun.
She's on a long-term vacation, and he didn't come to work.
I wonder what's going on.
How long has Hye Rim been pregnant?
It's been about two and a half months.
I have a question. You knew, didn't you?
What do you think you're doing?
I see everyone is here.
My great family.
