(Guidelines were strictly followed when filming with children.)
Do you hear that?
The baby's heart is beating well.
You can't come in here when I'm with a patient.
Mom!
You!
Why are you...
What are you...
doing here?
Here. Good boy.
You know, I make delicious soy sauce marinated crab.
Do you want to try it?
Soy sauce marinated crab? What's that?
You know what a crab is, don't you?
It walks sideways like this, you know?
Yes, I know.
You catch them...
and soak them in soy sauce.
Then you take them and...
What? My goodness.
Oh, no. Did that sound too cruel?
No Ah.
Like this.
- Like this! - Mom! Let go. Let's talk, okay?
- Come here. - Mom, let me explain!
- Honey! - Come in here.
- Mom! - Oh, boy.
Oh, no. Something must've happened.
- Mom... - Honey, my goodness.
Tell me.
Your baby...
Is Ssang Sook's son...
the father of the baby?
Goodness.
My gosh!
No!
Hey! What are you planning to do?
What will you do? Answer me!
Apparently, that guy is getting married.
He's marrying the daughter of a rich family or whatever.
His mom has been bragging about it all around town.
And what about you? What will you do?
Why are you going to the clinic by yourself?
Mom, I'm fine.
This is my baby. It has nothing to do with them.
Come to your senses, you fool!
If you get pregnant...
before you get married,
people nastily wag their fingers at you...
behind your back.
So, what about a woman who raises a child without a dad?
They look at those moms with pity for their whole lives.
It doesn't matter if they're successful or rich.
They just look at those moms with pity.
I can't watch you live your life, being treated like that.
Does that guy...
even know about this?
This has nothing to do with Mr. Seo.
As Mom said, he's going to marry someone else.
I'll just live on my own!
You will live as a single mom? Is that it?
As people watch you pitifully for the rest of your life?
I can do this. I'll pull this off.
So, please watch and support me. Mom, Dad!
Watch and support what?
How could we just stand by and watch?
You decided to have the baby?
Do you even know what it means to have a child?
Isn't this Mother's voice?
Hey, did you come to get No Ah?
Yes. But is something going on?
There's a big commotion because of Gong Hee.
- Oh, my. Hey. - Mom!
What's wrong with you?
Come with me to the clinic, okay?
I don't care about your decision or respecting your wishes.
- Oh, my. What are you going to do? - Goodness.
Talk after you let go of her hand!
Mom, please don't do this.
Be quiet! Don't say a word. Just come with me!
I will never let you become a single mom.
- Come on! - Mom.
- Wait, what is... - Oh, dear.
all this about?
Oh, my goodness.
What's wrong? It's okay.
It's okay. Yes. Oh, dear.
What do we do?
Well...
I'll talk to Gong Hee for a minute.
Honey, please help Mother calm down.
- Okay. - It's okay.
Don't cry.
My goodness!
- Oh, dear. - Let's go.
- Gong Hee, let's go. - Come on, No Ah.
Dad.
What is going on?
Tell me.
I know you've made a tough decision.
How could I not know?
Before I got married,
I had made up my mind to have Ssook Ssook and raise my baby alone.
But it's different for you.
You're finally becoming a permanent employee.
It's not like you can quit now.
And you'll keep seeing him all the time at work.
Are you sure you won't regret it?
Goodness, what should we do?
Ma'am, Dan Soo is home.
Then you should've called me right away.
He told me not to let anyone into his room.
- Yes. - Revealing my face was my decision.
Don't worry.
I'll keep working as Holly.
Dan Soo.
I'll call you back later.
You brat.
Why did you do that?
Why didn't you tell me?
Grandma, have you been doing well?
You left for a trip and didn't even call me.
Then, you suddenly show up to surprise your grandma like this?
And you turn out to be that famous designer, Holly?
I was so surprised.
I can't be an immature spoiled boy forever.
For you...
and for my own sake too.
- Here. - Thank you.
My poor mom.
I'm worried about Mother too,
but I'm even more worried about Gong Hee.
She is really determined to have and raise the baby on her own.
It won't be easy, though.
Is it because you remember how it was for you?
Well, I tried to pretend not to,
but I kept lingering near you...
and ended up marrying you, but it's not like that for Gong Hee.
She's acting brave,
but think about how she must feel on the inside right now.
I'm sure she's an absolute mess.
Did you say he was Seo Min Gi?
Why, I ought to...
- Give me his phone number. - My gosh.
Don't get involved. You might just make things worse.
But he's a piece of trash.
But Mr. Seo doesn't know.
He doesn't know.
Just leave it up to Gong Hee.
The ones who are directly involved should deal with these things.
Gosh, seriously.
How could you fool me like that?
When did you start designing?
Well, you were always a good artist, even as a little kid.
You don't like it...
when I talk about my childhood.
What?
I started doing this because of my mom.
I don't remember Mom very much,
but I remember clearly that she made clothes for me.
Even after Mom left,
I didn't take off those clothes and kept wearing them.
Until they became old and worn.
I didn't take them off even when kids called me a beggar.
You hate it when I bring up my mom.
I thought you wouldn't like it if I designed clothes.
Do you want to...
find your mom?
No.
I'm sure she had her reasons for abandoning me.
What use would it be to ask her why she did it...
after all these years?
I have no regrets.
When I think about it,
I've always been on the run throughout my life.
From my mom who ran a bar by the docks...
and from my dad, the conman and criminal.
The whole time.
Even after I met you,
a part of me always felt anxious.
I never knew when the misfortune that followed me...
would hurt the people I loved.
But you know, Hae Joon,
I will...
become stronger.
I won't simply back off anymore.
I won't run away.
(Maeng OB-GYN Clinic)
An abortion isn't as easy as you think.
There are some serious physical aftereffects,
and although it isn't illegal anymore,
it's only allowed under unavoidable circumstances.
And Gong Hee's decision is what matters the most.
Aside from the law and ethics,
an abortion is in the realm of bodily autonomy.
The right to choose what one's body will go through...
in the present and future.
I know what you're worried about,
but you can't simply take away her right to choose.
You know too.
You must see them too.
The moms who raise their kids...
without a husband...
or a family.
It's not enough...
just to see them with pity and sympathy.
People might sympathize with their struggles to their faces.
But behind their backs, people will ostracize them...
and keep them at a distance.
"That person is a single mom."
"That kind of person, that kind of woman."
"She's that kind of mom."
I...
really don't think I can see Gong Hee live like that.
Even if you call me old-fashioned,
predictable, and foolish,
I don't care.
I'd just hate...
to see people point fingers at my daughter.
I'd rather die than see that.
I want to go...
and ask that guy right now what he plans to do,
but I'm forcing myself to hold back.
I understand how you feel, Mom. And...
I'm really upset too.
But please...
be patient and give Gong Hee some time, okay?
Gosh, Mom.
Mom, are you all right?
Should I take you home?
No.
I have to go somewhere.
Where do you need to go?
(Employee ID Card, Maeng Gong Hee)
Congratulations.
Thank you.
Yes!
Ms. Maeng Gong Hee.
Your achievement did so much for the company.
The fashion show elevated Jayce Fashion's status.
You must've worked very hard to prepare for it.
Consider it your special reward.
Thank you.
Please wrap up the collaboration with Holly nicely.
Since all eyes are on the project now,
it's make or break for us.
Yes, I'll remember that.
All right. Keep up the good work.
Have a good day. Thank you!
Oh, my.
Awesome.
Gong Hee, congratulations.
Thank you.
You're a permanent employee now, but your tasks remain the same.
You know that, right?
Yes, just tell me what you need done.
Bring me the pieces from the collection...
to be sent to the stores.
Don't leave out a single piece.
Yes, got it.
My gosh.
Oh, my.
(Jayce Fashion, Maeng Gong Hee)
I've waited so much for this day.
What would Gu Dan Soo say if he saw this?
He'll just make fun of me again.
"Does it make you that happy?"
"Is it a gold medal or something?" He'll say that.
Yes, I'm so happy.
This is even better than a gold medal.
- Gong Hee. - What?
Congratulations. I know how hard you've worked.
The first person I want to be congratulated by...
isn't Mr. Seo.
The person...
I want to be congratulated by the most right now is...
Have you heard from Dan Soo by any chance?
No, I have not.
Really? Then has he emailed you from Holly's email address?
I haven't heard from him at all since the fashion show.
Okay. If you hear from him, let me know right away.
Gu Dan Soo.
Hey, tell me the truth.
Tell you what?
I already told you everything.
Did you...
meet my daughter before you came to see me?
Let's sit down.
I asked you if you met my daughter.
Yes, I did.
And what did you say to her?
Hey, try putting yourself in my shoes.
Wouldn't you be angry?
My son is getting married soon.
To a rich family's daughter. The date has already been set.
Look, they already got their wedding invitations printed.
Look at this.
Hey!
Good for you for having such an amazing son.
Hey, do you think your son is the only one with a future?
Who is he to ruin my daughter's future?
I will not let your son get away with this.
He's marrying into a rich family?
I will contact your future in-laws and tell them everything!
Myung Ja, you're too worked up right now.
Think rationally, for your daughter's own sake.
What? "Think rationally?"
Did you go to my daughter first...
because you were thinking rationally?
What did you say to her?
What did you say to Gong Hee?
I told her to go to the hospital! Why?
I told her not to ruin my son's future.
Hey!
How dare you break my daughter's heart like that?
Who are you to treat my daughter like that?
Why did you do that to my daughter?
My gosh. Why did you do that to my daughter?
My Gong Hee has big dreams.
I couldn't raise her like a princess,
but she grew into a wonderful person with a warm heart.
My daughter is brave and honest.
My husband and I have done nothing for her,
but she always thanks us without resenting us once.
She is my sweet daughter.
But...
you broke her heart like that?
How dare you tear her heart to shreds?
Who do you think you are?
You're wasting your time, yelling at me here.
Go and persuade your daughter.
You should've kept a watchful eye on your son!
Hey.
You failed to keep an eye on your daughter.
Your daughter kept hitting on my son.
- My Min Gi... - Hey!
Are we trying to figure out who is more at fault right now?
Hey!
I'm so upset too. This situation is driving me crazy!
I was so worried about Min Gi...
that I had to do something.
So please, Myung Ja.
Do something about your daughter!
Do something, please!
My gosh.
Oh, dear.
My goodness.
I will...
never forgive you.
Don't you forget that.
Your son is breaking my daughter's heart...
by marrying into that rich family.
I will wait and see how well that goes.
I will put a curse on him!
What should I do when something like this happens?
When you're a mom, there's no manual to go by.
What should I do in a situation like this?
Can someone tell me? Please?
Oh, boy.
You keep sighing nonstop, just like your wife.
Let me step out and get some air.
Yes, go fishing or something.
Cheer up and snap out of it, okay?
- Oh, hello. - Hello.
Gyeong Bok.
How come Mr. Maeng looks so upset today?
Did something bad happen?
Don't ask. It's a family matter.
Nothing good will come out of telling someone outside the family.
Anyway, what's up?
Do you want some galbi dumplings?
Oh, no.
I have a customer,
so I want to get some snacks for him.
A customer?
(Maeng Dumplings)
What? You said he was a customer.
It's Detective An.
Hey, sleepwalker. Why is Detective An your customer?
Oh, I know.
You must be in a pickle because of me.
What?
Come on. Don't give me that.
I can tell at a glance.
He keeps hovering around...
to see me. Am I wrong?
He goes to your shop...
and comes here. Back and forth.
Oh, yes.
Goodness. I knew this would happen.
The other day, I could tell...
from the way he kept staring at me with those intense eyes.
I shall go in and cook something for him, then.
I'm sorry,
but I don't want the ladies to get the wrong idea,
so do you mind keeping your distance?
If you follow me all the way here, it might...
I'm afraid I can't do that.
We never know when those people might come back.
Here.
All right.
Here is your snack.
You have some flour on your face.
Mom.
You were in my dream.
Everything is all right, isn't it?
Yes, there's nothing special.
What is it? Tell me.
Gong Hee is...
pregnant.
Ssang Sook's son.
It's his baby.
Mom, what do I do?
Well...
What can you do?
You can have them get married.
Getting pregnant before marriage is no big deal these days.
They even call a baby a wedding gift.
Ssang Sook's son... That jerk...
is getting married to another woman. That's why I'm going crazy.
Goodness.
And what is Gong Hee saying?
She says she'll have the baby.
She'll have the baby and raise it on her own.
Does this make any sense?
What do I do, Mom?
Well, what can you do?
Just tell her to do that. What other choice do you have?
Mom.
How can I watch Gong Hee become a single mom?
It's her life, and she must live it her own way.
You can't tell her...
to live it the way you want her to.
But how can I just watch my baby...
live such a hard life, Mom?
You have to learn life from experience.
What can you do?
Did you want her to only walk down a rosy path?
That's being too greedy.
She'll be walking down a rocky road.
My gosh. How can I watch that?
Gong Hee is a strong girl.
Just watch her as she keeps going.
A parent's fence should be at a far distance.
If the fence is too close, it will suffocate your children.
Goodness, don't cry. Stop crying.
If a mother cries,
her children's hearts will only ache more.
Wipe your tears and get back up soon.
Oh, dear.
My goodness. What do I do?
Gosh, her heart must be aching so much.
Oh, dear. What will I do about my Myung Ja?
My goodness.
Darn it.
What do I do?
Oh, dear.
My gosh.
Gong Hee, take a look at this.
What?
Gosh, Mr. Gu Dan Soo. What on earth is this?
What?
(Change of Personnel)
(Gu Dan Soo, appointed as executive director)
"Executive Director, Gu Dan Soo?"
Oh, my.
My goodness.
Oh, my. What brings you to our office, ma'am?
There's someone else you should be greeting today.
This is my grandson,
Gu Dan Soo.
I've been appointed as Executive Director at Jayce Fashion.
I'm Gu Dan Soo.
(My Merry Marriage)
Gu Dan Soo is Holly...
and the chairwoman's grandson?
Gong Hee, you two have been friends since childhood.
Did you really not know anything?
You! Don't you dare fake being sick again.
I'll scold you.
Evil Witch.
- Hey. - Evil Witch.
I'm trying too.
Gong Hee's mom said so.
What if Min Gi finds out?
Min Gi can never know.
What brings you here, Mr. Seo?
I need to ask you something.
