(Also, children were filmed under production guidelines.)
By any chance, do you still want to be Eun Chong's mom?
Why do you ask?
I want to know...
how you really feel.
Did Se Young make you ask?
Or was it the chairwoman?
I was curious.
If I say yes, will you help me?
Can you take my side?
I'll help you.
I'll take your side.
Don't register...
your marriage before the wedding.
And don't adopt Eun Chong, either.
- Be careful. - Okay.
Careful.
Have you called Jin Goo?
Yes, he's at our place.
He said he'd go over to see Eun Chong.
All right. You should take a few days off and get some rest.
- And please visit the doctor. - Yes, Mother.
And we should register their marriage, too.
I'll talk to Jin Goo.
I don't want Se Young to become Eun Chong's mom.
She's only doing this to get Hyesung Group.
Eun Chong doesn't want it either,
so I want to stop this for his sake.
Can you trust me no matter what I do...
or what I say?
I will trust you.
We'll start the adoption process as soon as we're married.
So, what can I help you with?
I'll tell you when the right time comes.
Do you have a plan?
There's another time for that, too.
Okay.
The chairwoman wishes to see you.
All right.
Keep your eyes on Ha Na.
She probably came in here with a thorough plan to steal Eun Chong.
You have an advantage even if she wants to fight for his custody.
Why are you worried?
She began to come between me and him because of that disadvantage.
She continuously provokes me, irritates me,
and even makes me feel humiliated.
She's not the same as before.
She may be the same person,
but she cannot be the same as she was before.
She's been through a lot,
and she was deeply hurt, too.
Even so, how dare she even think of stealing Eun Chong from me?
Do you have another plan if she refuses to give up?
I'm thinking of something.
Once again, will you lock her up in a place like a mental institution?
I want to see you two reconcile.
If you continue to fight, it'll be a battle without a winner,
a glory tarnished with pain.
And because you two are the most important to Eun Chong,
it'll hurt him the most.
There is an outcome in every fight.
She won't get to leave in one piece after messing with me under my roof.
Then, what?
I'm sensing some undertone.
I'm just saying.
I don't want to see...
both you and Ha Na lose.
And I don't want to meddle with this fight, either.
So, you'll turn a blind eye to this?
You're going to be Eun Chong's dad.
I don't think it's my place to interfere with his custody.
But I will help out when you two are...
willing to reconcile.
You better hide well I'm coming for you
It's the baby tummy.
Auntie Ha Na.
Why didn't you hide?
- This is the baby tummy. - The baby tummy?
What's this?
Where did you find this?
In Little Grandma's room.
Little Grandma's room?
But your baby fell.
What?
Eun Chong, last time, you said the baby fell.
How did the baby fall?
Auntie Se Young had this around her tummy,
then she dropped it when I saw her.
Wait, is Se Young...
faking her pregnancy?
What are you up to?
- What's that? - Nothing.
Eun Chong, go to the playroom with Mr. Hwang and play there.
Okay. Mr. Hwang, let me show you the playroom.
Okay.
Se Young, you can't be serious.
She's faking her pregnancy?
She has artificial baby bumps according to different stages.
Did you catch a cold?
It's my allergy. I'll be fine once I take my medicine.
Se Young recently said she was taking allergy medicine.
I also found it odd back then.
I'll look for her medicine.
Be careful.
I heard you could've gotten badly hurt.
She was extremely lucky to be fine like this.
She needs to get some peaceful rest in her room,
but she doesn't have one because of Ha Na.
It must be uncomfortable for her to sleep in my bed.
I'll get married soon, anyway.
It may be for a few days,
but the mother needs to be rested for the baby to do well.
I'll find a room for you.
Really, Yeo Jin?
But we don't have more rooms.
We do.
(Morning, Evening)
Is this her medicine?
Auntie, come and join us.
Okay. What's this?
Hey, do you do it like this?
One, two, three.
I keep seeing only these.
- Eun Chong, flip the next one. - Which one?
Hurry up.
- No! - Jin Goo.
- What? - You're here.
Were you hurt?
You're faking your pregnancy?
What are you looking at?
It's nothing. Did something happen?
I rolled down the stairs after visiting Jin Goo's place.
What about the baby? Is the baby okay?
Yes, this could've been very bad for me and my baby.
I'm so glad everything is fine, Jin Goo.
Yes, we were quite lucky.
You aren't pregnant, so you should be fine.
Eun Chong, were you playing with your daddy?
"Home Survey?"
(Mother: Goo Ha Na)
"Mother. Goo Ha..."
- What's wrong? - Why did you rip this up?
I have to give that to my teacher.
Jin Goo, will you and Eun Chong step outside for a minute?
I have to talk to Ha Na.
Please do not fight.
Eun Chong, let's go outside.
Let's go.
Did you forget that I was his mom?
Are you doing this to rub it into my face?
What do you get from stressing me out?
Do you want the worst to happen to the baby?
Did you just laugh?
Sorry. I keep forgetting that you're pregnant.
You should put on some more weight.
Who's going to see you and think you're pregnant?
What about your morning sickness? Is it over?
- Mind your own business. - I just felt bad.
I failed to treat you well and kept stressing you out...
all because I forgot you were pregnant.
What's this sudden shift?
I took your room and did that on the home survey.
I want to apologize for stressing you out without realizing it.
- Let's meet outside tomorrow. - Forget it.
How dare you ask a pregnant woman to come and go?
Don't say that and meet me.
We can discuss Eun Chong, too.
What about him?
It's something you'll need and can benefit from.
You can re-download this and fill it out with Eun Chong.
I'll call you tomorrow.
What does she want to say about Eun Chong?
She wrote down her name as his mom to rub it into my face.
I should talk to Yeo Jin.
You were probably bruised after rolling down the stairs.
- Are you okay? - Yes, I feel a bit stiff,
but I wasn't bruised. I'm fine.
You may feel a throbbing pain when you wake up tomorrow.
You can't even take medicine, so I'm worried.
Jin Goo, I'll look after Se Young,
so go be Eun Chong's dad.
You have to make a good impression on him...
to make him want to be your son.
So, stop by often, too. Okay?
Okay.
Let's register our marriage, Jin Goo.
I want to adopt him as soon as possible.
We're done talking about this.
Can't you just do it?
Se Young is stressed out...
while Ha Na is strutting around like she's his mom.
By any chance, do you still want to be Eun Chong's mom?
If I say yes, will you help me?
Can you take my side?
Yes, I'll get married,
and Ha Na will adopt Eun Chong.
That's the most reasonable right now.
You can take tomorrow off and get some rest.
Please excuse me.
Oh, but...
- Good grief. - How irritating.
Se Young and Eun Chong will share a room starting today...
in the room Ms. Goo had been using.
It makes no sense for a pregnant woman to share a bed with me.
Thank you, Yeo Jin.
"A pregnant woman?"
Eun Chong has a bad sleeping habit.
What if he kicks her in the stomach in his sleep?
I ordered another bed for him.
Eun Chong, you're now old enough to sleep on your own.
Then, where will Auntie Ha Na sleep?
I don't know.
According to the contract, I have full rights...
over Eun Chong's care.
It's important to care for Eun Chong,
but you should be considerate of the pregnant, too.
Thank you, Aunt Yeo Jin.
She doesn't even know she's fooled by a fake pregnancy.
Eun Chong, your mommy will be Auntie Se Young, so sleep with her.
I don't want to. You're trying to kick Auntie Ha Na out.
No, it's just that we don't have another room in this house.
Then, you can empty out your room!
Eun Chong, you can't tell her to empty out her room.
I'm not going to school if you don't give the room back...
to Auntie Ha Na!
You still need to go to school.
Yes, Eun Chong.
You're in elementary school now. You can't whine like a baby.
I hate you, too, Auntie Se Young!
What? Why me, all of a sudden?
Eun Chong, why don't we make a new room?
Really?
Ta-da!
This is the tent from our home, right?
Yes, I brought it here to camp with you in the garden.
We can just do it in the living room.
All right! We're camping!
Wait, you want to make him sleep in the living room?
Then, give her room back.
She never had a room in this house.
You're bad, Grandma!
- Let's go to school, Eun Chong. - Okay.
Get rid of this now.
This is a room for Eun Chong and me.
Can't you see how thrilled he is?
I already told you I'd tailor this house...
according to Eun Chong's needs.
It'll be a breach of contract if you lay a hand on the tent.
Let's go, Eun Chong.
Where did she find this piece of trash?
Eun Chong turned into Goo Ha Na's toy.
Yeo Jin, will you let her do this?
Isn't it about time you make use of the money...
you gave to her siblings?
I've been thinking about it.
- A fake pregnancy? - A fake pregnancy?
Were both Chairwoman Shin and Hwang Jin Goo deceived?
Yes, and she trusted those two and let them adopt her grandson.
She'll feel...
greatly betrayed and disappointed if this breaks off their marriage.
If her fake pregnancy gets exposed,
both the marriage and the adoption will be over.
I'll drop the news on their wedding day.
I'll begin investigating the company after breaking the wedding off.
You can start the investigation with Hyesung Tour's disposal.
You can make your case...
with Chairwoman Shin approving the disposal over personal reasons.
Yes, sir.
Soon, it'll be the 30th anniversary of their foundation day,
and Chairwoman Shin will also come to an end.
Didn't you get what it meant when I cleaned out your room?
You're telling me to leave.
Yet you're holding out,
so it must mean you want to take this to the end with me.
I'll leave after a month. Why can't you tolerate me?
Eun Chong is doing better, so you don't have to stay for a month.
The wedding is coming right up,
so they'll go ahead and start the adoption right away.
We'll have to see if they'll marry...
or adopt him.
As you already know, who knows what the future holds?
You're only saying that because you don't want this.
Do you trust Yoon Se Young?
What about Hwang Jin Goo?
What do you mean?
I'm asking you. What do you mean?
You don't trust anyone,
yet you seem to firmly believe...
those two will adopt your precious grandson.
Do you know something?
What would I know?
How are Se Young and Jin Goo doing these days?
Nothing much is going on...
other than wedding preparations.
What's wrong?
Ha Na just asked if I trusted Se Young and Jin Goo,
and it seemed like something was going on.
- Should I look into it? - Yes.
I also can't condone her anymore.
Set up everything to pressure her with the investments I made...
- in her siblings. - Yes, ma'am.
She'll only come to her senses after she sits on a hefty debt.
How dare she keep Eun Chong under her control in my house?
- You tent out in the living room? - Yes.
Eun Chong took the lead and put up a fight...
when she cleaned out my room, trying to kick me out.
It was nice to have him there.
I'm just saying.
What about Se Young's medicine? Did you look into it?
Yes, I asked a pharmacist,
and these allergy meds were too strong for pregnant women.
It proves that she's faking her pregnancy.
Why does she want to go this far just to marry him?
She's after Hyesung Group, not Hwang Jin Goo.
Once we drop this, it'll break off their wedding,
end Eun Chong's adoption,
and put an end to Se Young's life, too.
- So, the D-day is their wedding? - Yes.
I have to get clearance to the security server...
from Se Young before then.
But she asked me to help with Eun Chong's adoption in return.
What am I supposed to do?
I'll give you the files I got for the adoption screening...
and other references I put together.
Don't tell her that it's from me.
Pretend like you found it and take credit for it.
I should do that.
Why aren't you at work?
I fell down the stairs yesterday.
The stairs? Is the baby okay?
Yes, thankfully, the baby is fine.
How will you help me with the adoption?
I'm ready to hand over the clearance to the server.
I'll grab the files she prepared for Eun Chong's adoption...
and give them to you.
That's not much.
Let me know if you need anything.
I'll do it if it's within my power.
That's a no, then.
You'll have to do it even if it's not in your power.
- What is it? - Make Ha Na give up on his custody.
She asked you to make me give up on his custody?
Once I exposed her fake pregnancy,
her marriage and Eun Chong's adoption would be over.
So, I just said yes.
Good call.
I'll find good timing to pretend like I'm giving up,
so get the clearance from her as soon as you can.
Okay. Bye.
She told him to make me give up on his custody?
You're here. Have a seat.
Why are we suddenly seeing an oriental doctor?
Why are we here?
Do you need medicine?
- It's not me. It's you. - Me?
I'll buy you an herbal tonic great for pregnant women.
No, it's okay. I don't take herbal tonics anyway.
Even if you don't want to, just take it...
for your baby.
I don't want to. What's with you?
Then, let the doctor feel your pulse and give you acupuncture treatment.
You rolled down the stairs.
Ms. Yoon Se Young.
Yes.
- Let's go inside. - I don't want to.
Why are you adamant on this? Just let the doctor feel your pulse.
Wait, I need to go to the restroom.
Hey, it's inside.
Over there.
(Restrooms)
Go on.
You had a lot of fun when you found out...
I was a fake daughter, didn't you?
It's also a lot of fun...
to see you in this fake pregnancy.
Darn it. There are no windows.
Mom, Ha Na just brought me to see an oriental doctor...
to buy an herbal tonic for pregnancy.
What? Why...
Why is she doing this out of the blue?
Get out of there now.
I tried to run away by pretending to go to the restroom,
but it was inside the hospital, so I got stuck.
Did she call you there...
because she found out something?
No way.
Mom, please save me from here.
You're already at a hospital, so collapsing won't do any...
Yes, your phone. Take a look at your phone.
My phone?
- What's that? - What's this sound?
What? Is there a fire?
Hey, there must be a fire.
We have to get out of here.
What is this? Things got quiet after she left.
Did she just play the fire alarm on her phone?
She's pulling all kinds of tricks not to expose her fake pregnancy.
My gosh. I was so worried she'd find out.
How did you come up with the idea to download the fire alarm app?
You're the queen of tricks.
Do you think she knows something?
Did you do anything to let her catch on?
No.
Maybe she saw the artificial baby bump.
Darn it.
Is it okay to leave these here?
Should we put them in the safe?
Ha Na must be here. Let me feel her out.
Why did the siren go off?
No idea. It got quiet after you left.
Really?
The thought of a fire made me scared into thinking I'd lose my baby.
Why are you laughing?
What you said about losing your baby...
reminded me of this story I heard on the radio on the bus.
It was hilarious.
I heard you went to see an oriental doctor with Se Young.
Is something funny going on?
Yes, this story on the radio...
Enough. Stop stressing her out, then try to make her better.
Herbal tonic, my foot.
Your priority is not giving stress to the pregnant.
Do you understand?
Se Young is Eun Chong's mother.
Sure.
Do you want to listen to the story I heard on the radio?
I'm not interested.
It was the story of a woman who got married by faking her pregnancy.
Be careful.
I couldn't understand even as I listened to it.
Why would she want to go that far to hold him back?
He was already done with her, so why would she want him?
Does she know something or what?
But that woman was...
after something else other than love.
It's always money, isn't it?
Do you know what's worse?
The man knew the pregnancy was fake,
yet he stayed quiet.
What? Why?
Did he love her that much?
No.
He kept it quiet until the last minute, then...
I can't tell you more.
The ending was too cruel.
What is it?
- Later. - Why did you stop there?
This story is about you. Don't you get it?
She's talking about me, right?
She took you to an oriental doctor, then this fake pregnancy story.
It does sound like she told the story for you to hear.
I once told her the story of a woman...
who was conned as a fake daughter after I found out about her.
It's a total parody.
On top of that, her laughter, too.
How did she find out I was faking it?
We don't know that for sure.
I need to make that girl go out of her mind.
How's everything with your siblings' business?
I kept telling myself to visit, but I never did.
Sure, it's going well.
You should've backed out quietly after Yeo Jin...
helped with their business and gave them money.
Why did you move in here to take Eun Chong from us?
Why? Do you want to take Hyesung, too?
"Gave them money?"
Your petty siblings came and took a hefty sum from her...
in return for raising Eun Chong.
If you two don't leave,
- I'll kill both of you... - You!
You have to pay us back quickly after borrowing from us.
Pay back the principal and the interest right away!
- What's going on? - I have no idea.
The chairwoman gave you that investment...
by taking out a loan from us.
A private loan?
We simply got the investment.
What investment?
Hey, next time, we may even snap...
your legs in half.
Make sure you handle everything.
- You little... - No!
Let's go.
What are we going to do?
Wait. Let me call Ms. Jang.
Who were they?
- Ha Na... - Ha Na...
"Mother, Yoon Se Young. Father, Hwang Jin Goo."
"Grandmother, Shin Yeo Jin."
Eun Chong, I'll put your home survey in here.
You can give it to your teacher.
We're done writing the home survey,
so why don't we call your daddy?
Hey, Jin Goo. What are you up to?
I'm playing with Eun Chong at home.
Where are you going? Do you want some snacks?
What's Ha Na doing? Why is he with you?
I'm his mom, so of course, he needs to be with me.
She ran over to her siblings.
I guess she didn't know her siblings took money from my aunt.
They took money from the chairwoman?
- How much? - A total of one million dollars.
Did the chairwoman do that to hold it against her?
All right. I'm hanging up.
(Ms. Goo Ha Na)
Is she at her siblings' business?
You two must've gone insane.
Why did you take that money?
We had to take money for raising Eun Chong.
Why wouldn't we take it when she offered it first?
She seemed happy that we took the money.
But we didn't know she got it from loan sharks.
Why did she con us like this?
So, why did you take money without talking to me first?
Give it back right away.
This isn't money. It's poison.
I made an investment.
"Investment?"
In what?
In the stock market, real estate, and cryptocurrency.
What more did you take from her?
We recently received...
an additional investment.
- How much? - One million dollars.
So, in total, two million dollars?
Did you sign a contract when you got the additional investment?
Mr. Hwang.
We did. Why?
Show me.
Wait.
Now.
All these clauses look toxic.
That's disadvantageous for us, right?
Yes, this looks serious. It was an unfair contract.
She set this trap on my naive siblings on purpose.
- I have to tell Ji Seok. - No, Ha Na.
Ha Na, please don't tell Ji Seok.
Let go of me. Ji Seok needs to know.
What is this? Where are your manners?
No, what are you doing?
How dare you go on to mess with my siblings?
I didn't mess with them.
I gave them money because they wanted it.
You still claim they wanted this...
after writing up a contract like this?
I can't believe you used your corporate raiding scheme on them.
How do you call yourself human?
"Corporate raiding?"
Should I sue you for defamation?
You'll have to pay two million, the penalty, and for the damage.
I'll give you a chance to save them. It's your choice.
One. Get away from Eun Chong...
and go live quietly without a trace. Two.
Sacrifice your siblings on this mountain of debt.
What do you think you're doing?
Three. Fight until the end.
My siblings won't become sacrifices,
and I'll never give Eun Chong to you, either.
I'll take him from you.
(Cinderella Game)
Reconduct the investigation,
especially on Mr. Goo's parents.
What about the clearance to the security server?
I want to move out and live my own life.
We must escape from this house.
What did she say to Eun Chong?
She must've gaslighted him.
It looks like you have a plan. Can you tell me what it is?
We must hasten this.
You'll find out soon.
Your tummy looks thinner.
Is this little kid trying to attack me?
Please help us.
They have become the worst burdens for Ha Na.
Give up on getting Eun Chong's custody.
