(Final Episode)

Defendant, Oh Hyun Jin,

you're currently a managing director at Olively. Is that correct?

Yes, that's correct.

From what I know, you were promoted very quickly for a female executive.

Yes, I'm the youngest managing director.

So you were clever enough to become...

the youngest managing director. Would you agree with that?

Come to think of it, the genre of my overall life...

was to turn my life around and become successful.

Someone who always knew the answer.

Let me begin asking you questions.

Oh Hyun Jin, are you Glue Stick's mother?

Yes, I am.

Do you love Glue Stick?

Yes, I love him.

I clearly heard you say that you love Glue Stick.

- Are you sure about that? - Yes, I'm sure.

Then let me ask you something.

What's the biggest thing in the world?

I'd say it's the Himalayas.

- Unbelievable. - Seriously?

How could you possibly think that's the answer?

She doesn't even deserve to be called a mother.

The biggest thing in the world...

is a mother's love.

That's what normal mothers say.

Is she really a mother?

Oh, right.

- I'm sorry. - Let me give you another chance.

Oh Hyun Jin.

What would you do if Glue Stick suddenly has a stomachache?

I would take him to a doctor...

Drag her out of here. She doesn't deserve to be a mother.

Oh Hyun Jin.

When your child has a stomachache,

rubbing his tummy is the best medicine you can give him.

Are you sure you're a mother?

- Oh, I'm sorry. - How can she call herself a mom?

Then how about this?

How much do you think it'll hurt...

if you were to put your baby in your eyes?

Well, I guess it would hurt a little.

- Oh, dear. - My goodness.

(Defendant)

Your baby is supposed to be the apple of your eye!

I've never seen a mother like her in my entire life.

Then since you think it'll hurt to have your baby in your eyes,

it must also mean you like black bean noodles.

Well, I kind of prefer seafood black bean noodles.

My goodness.

What a piece of trash!

You never should've given birth!

Oh Hyun Jin.

All mothers are supposed to say they hate black bean noodles.

A mother should be able to sacrifice what they like...

for the sake of their baby.

You were smart enough to become the youngest managing director,

so why don't you know that?

But after I became a mother,

I turned into a complete fool who didn't know anything.

- I'm sorry. - That is all.

Glue Stick's mom.

It looks like you still don't know what it means to be a mother.

Here's the final appeal.

Oh Hyun Jin's rights to remain as Glue Stick's mother...

will be taken away from her.

- Yes! - Nice!

No. No, you can't take Glue Stick away from me.

You don't deserve to be a mother.

Give up on Glue Stick.

No, Your Honor!

Glue Stick... Don't take him away from me!

No! Please!

My life suddenly turned into a film noir,

and I couldn't predict anything that was about to happen.

No, please!

Your Honor!

(A Mother's Film Noir)

She's been there for an hour.

Do you think she's crazy?

Maybe we should call the cops.

Leave her be.

She's a managing director at the head office.

She's a managing director of Olively?

She sometimes drops by and takes a look around the store.

She feels happy when she sees that the products she launched...

are doing well in the market.

But she doesn't seem to be in a good mood today.

Whenever I had a lot on my mind,

I came here to make myself feel better.

I liked this place because it felt rewarding to see...

my hard work come into fruition.

They only sell this at Olively, and I heard it's really good.

Really? Let me see.

It's better to use it with this.

And it's even better if you use it with this.

One sheet mask a day.

I see.

Hyun Jin.

I'm...

a mess, aren't I?

I was able to become a mother which is a dream for some people.

But all I did was run away.

I think she's right.

I might really be...

the most dangerous person...

to Glue Stick.

I always think of reasons to run away.

And I'm always complaining.

- Hyun Jin. - What should I do?

I'm not confident to look after Glue Stick well.

What scares me even more...

is that I can't turn things back.

What should I do?

You may not be the most perfect mother on earth,

but you're the best mother that Glue Stick can have.

How so?

You had to go through a terrible morning sickness,

and you were always nauseous.

But you still went to work and endured all that.

I only gave our baby a hard time by working so hard.

Your back ached because of your belly,

and you couldn't sleep because your stomach hurt.

But you never once complained.

Yes, I did.

And although you were surrounded by really young mothers,

and you had less stamina and information than them,

you still tried so hard to do your best for Glue Stick.

What's so great about being an old mother?

And normally, you would've gone...

to the sea to cool your head, but you couldn't even go anywhere...

because you were worried about Glue Stick. Right?

So let's go back to see Glue Stick.

I bet he's waiting for you.

Let's go back.

(A Midsummer Night's Concert)

Would you raise the volume a little?

It's been a while since I've heard nice music like this.

I felt like we were alike.

Someone who had forgotten...

what she liked.

I didn't know you were a pianist.

I used to play, but not anymore.

That's a shame.

You're very talented.

I was encouraged that day.

Hello.

Hello.

You really came.

Thank you.

I didn't come just for you.

I was...

in the area for an event...

and passed by here by coincidence. Purely by coincidence.

Even if it were a coincidence.

Be right back.

Aren't you Ha Jin's mom?

That's you, isn't it?

Hye Jin's mom. Hello.

It is you.

I saw you at the recital, but I wasn't sure if it was you.

I came to watch my sister-in-law play.

Whom did you come for?

Well...

Someone I know was performing, so I stopped by.

This is my cousin.

Come and say hi. She's Ha Jin's friend's mom.

Sorry?

My gosh. I see.

Hello.

You have such a handsome cousin.

Hello.

I really enjoyed your recital.

You play so well.

- Thank you. - I'll see you around.

Anyway, do you have a girlfriend?

Excuse me?

Well, you're so good looking and tall.

I want to set you up with a friend.

Would you be interested in going on a blind date?

Really? Do you have a girlfriend?

No, right?

Do you want to meet her?

No, thank you. I'm good.

Why not? She's very pretty.

Is there someone that you like? Are you seeing someone?

Well...

Sorry,

but it's late already.

I have to get back to the center.

I really just stopped by while I was in the area.

I'll go first. Drink your tea.

Later.

Ma...

Hey! Wait for me!

Hey!

Wait for me.

Don't follow me. I really have to rush back to the center.

Hey.

Stop that.

Please.

Are you all right?

I said to just leave!

I ran away because I'm embarrassed. Why did you come after me?

I'm sorry.

Wait a second.

Sorry for making you wait.

I had to find a pharmacy.

Here.

(Pharmacy)

I...

didn't come...

by coincidence.

I wanted to be consoled,

but I had nowhere to go.

And I have no friends.

I thought if I called us "friends",

it would be okay to come to you just once.

That's why I came...

to you.

But...

it became clearer.

I don't deserve to even make friends.

Ma'am.

You're in the 20s, and you have nothing to fear,

so you may say gender, marital status, or anything matters...

between friends.

But not me.

I can't do anything that people may question...

or criticize...

at all.

Because I'm a mom,

and my husband's...

wife.

I'm such a weirdo to you, aren't I? Through and through.

I'm sorry about today. I'll go now.

May I say something too?

Even small wounds will get infected if you leave them unattended.

You're so good at treating other people's wounds.

But you ignore your own too much.

You're important too.

So,

you're allowed...

to be a little happier.

I really wanted to tell you that.

Once again, thank you very much.

It's so hot.

Yes, well...

You're supposed to have shaved ice on days like this.

- Roo Da, your father... - Should we go back in?

Your father has only three months left to live.

He really wants to see you.

You'll regret it later.

- So you should... - I have nothing to do with him.

So stop talking about him.

Glue Stick's mom.

Where did you go yesterday?

The director was looking all over for you.

Do you feel better now?

What choice do I have?

It's not like I can leave Glue Stick and run away.

I have to be okay...

even if I'm not okay.

Sarang's mom, how was the event last night?

You must've been tired since you didn't sleep.

Sure. Well...

You're all attending the check-out class, right?

Of course. That's why I came to this center.

What's the check-out class?

The director teaches a class to the moms checking out.

She covers theoretical to practical matters.

That's right. You were here when you had the twins too.

How was the check-out class?

If you pay attention, it will really help you.

Although it is a bit strict.

It's strict?

You should prepare yourselves.

I know, right?

Exactly.

I didn't even know he was married.

(Affectionate Childcare Tips for a Perfect Baby)

What do you think the most important factor is...

when it comes to childcare?

It's affection.

Affection. It's affection.

A famous monk once said...

a baby's personality is built until they're three years old.

Therefore, mothers should care for their babies...

at least until they turn three...

Excuse me. But monks don't have children.

How can that monk be so sure?

Let me tell you a saying.

"Affection..."

"creates..."

"a decent human being."

According to a survey,

77.7 percent of assault criminals...

were neglected by their parents as children.

I had no idea that Glue Stick was in danger.

With a mother like me,

he might end up...

- There he is. - He's here.

How long did you plan this crime?

Do you have any words for the victim's family?

Why did you do such a thing?

Mom, I'm on TV.

Do you finally see me?

It turns out Kim Ra On was desperate for attention.

That is all for today.

When Mommy goes to sea

The baby is left all alone

No!

Ra On's mom?

I'm sorry. Sorry. Sorry about that.

Okay then.

Let's practice how to take care of a baby.

This is how you stop a baby from crying.

Cross your baby's hands on his or her chest like this.

Then use your one hand to hold both hands.

- Cross hands... - And with the other hand...

Hold both hands with one hand.

Then shake your baby back and forth like this.

Ra On's mom, that was terrible.

Now let's learn how to do CPR on a baby.

If they don't start breathing again in five minutes,

it'll be very dangerous for the baby.

You need to press right beneath the center of both nipples.

And you need to press 100 to 120 times per minute.

You have five minutes to save your babies.

Start now.

Time is ticking.

- Be quick and strong. - 1, 2, 3, 4.

Oh, no!

That baby didn't even last five minutes.

When you do the Heimlich maneuver,

you must hit your baby's shoulder blades like this.

My goodness!

How many times have you failed to save your kid?

I can't let you leave the center like this.

Start all over again! Do it again!

During the one-hour-long education,

I put my baby in danger five times.

Mom, you killed me.

Hello, Ra On is here.

Ra On's mom, did you receive the check-out class today?

Yes.

No wonder you look so scared.

Ma'am.

What should I do now?

The class lasted for about an hour,

and I almost killed my baby about five times.

Ra On's mom, think about the first day you got here.

You couldn't even breastfeed your baby properly.

Compared to that, you're a pro now.

Don't be too worried.

Mothers and babies mature together.

I'm sure you'll do well as you take care of him.

Right, Ra On?

"Yes, ma'am."

How do you understand babies so well?

You always tell us what they're thinking.

It comes naturally as you spend time with them.

Seeing babies grow day by day...

is so amazing and cute.

Back when I had babies myself,

I was too busy working that I couldn't be there for them.

One day, they crawl. Then they stand.

And after a while, they walk. They grow up every day.

And I felt so sorry for missing out on all those precious moments.

So I also had a hard time myself.

But my son...

Ra On's dad is here.

- Hello. - Hey.

I'll be off now.

Ra On, see you later. Bye.

- Bye. - Bye.

Ra On, Daddy's here.

You look so cute. Whom do you take after?

Where in the world is he?

The receiver cannot be reached.

Why won't he answer his phone after he called me here?

Sook Boon.

Sook Boon.

You look great, my daughter.

Roo Da.

I told you I don't want to meet him.

I told you to mind your own business.

- Sook Boon. - My name is Roo Da.

Lee Roo Da.

You don't even know my name.

So stop acting like you know me.

- Sook Boon. - Don't ever show up again.

If you do, I'll call the cops.

- Sook... - Roo Da. Roo Da.

But still, he's family.

What exactly is family?

What do you even know about my family anyway?

Gosh.

She takes after her mother, so she has a nasty...

She's unusual.

So you're a doctor?

No, not yet. I'm still in med school.

That means you're pretty much a doctor.

Sook Boon found herself a really nice man.

When do you plan to get married?

Oh, well...

Roo Da hasn't agreed to it yet.

What's there to agree? She even had a baby.

You should register your marriage.

And you guys should have a son while you're still young.

No, I'm still really busy.

And Roo Da still has a lot of things she wants to do.

And what's that?

Selling underwear?

She won't even earn much with something like that.

That's not true.

She makes 100 times more than I do.

- What? - Roo Da's brand is...

the most popular lingerie brand online.

She designed and modeled for everything...

and made the company grow into what it is today.

And while she was busy,

I got her pregnant.

Does her business really make that much money?

Mister.

You're not sick, are you?

What? Did you just call me "Mister"?

- You're unbelievable. - I see.

I guess you're seriously here to ask her for money.

No wonder you seemed a bit strange.

Your daughter gave birth,

but you didn't even ask her how she's doing.

And you never even asked about Yomi.

I feel so bad about doing this to Roo Da.

It looks like...

I was too rash and meddled in what wasn't my business.

I'll be off now.

What...

Hey, how dare you disrespect me like that?

Stop right there!

Oh, my goodness. My gosh.

Gosh, my neck.

- Who are you? - I'm the director...

of Serenity Postpartum Care Center.

Oh, I see.

Then you must be Sook Boon's mother-in-law.

Why don't we sit down and talk about our kids?

This is where mothers come for peace and rest.

- Right. - Stop talking nonsense...

and leave before I report you for obstruction of business.

What? "Nonsense"? What are you talking about?

CS team, what are you doing?

An outsider entered the center.

Call the cops right now.

What in the world are you doing? I won't let this slide, you know.

If you come here again,

I won't let it slide either.

Don't ever show up before my kids again.

But... Wait. Roo Da's mother-in-law.

Wait.

I'm sorry.

I had no idea he'd come all the way here.

You don't need to apologize. Don't let it bother you too much.

This is why...

I don't want to get married.

I have to open up about things that I want to keep a secret.

I really hate that.

I don't agree that marriage is the happy ending of romance.

My mom...

was miserable throughout her entire marriage.

We had creditors visiting us every day...

because his business went bankrupt.

But he just ran away with another woman.

But my mom was busy cleaning after his mess and raising me.

So she never had time to think about what she wanted.

I'm scared...

that I might turn out the same...

or end up...

doing that to my spouse.

That's why I'm scared to get married.

Roo Da.

Not all families are happy.

But not all families are miserable either.

Don't get scared before you even try.

[VIU Ver] tvN E08 'Birthcare Center' "A Mother's Film Noir" -♥ Ruo Xi ♥- Synced with Subcake Android

Why didn't you answer my calls?

How could you just leave like that yesterday?

Do you know how embarrassed I was to face the reporter?

You were embarrassed?

Yesterday...

You know how important it was for me.

Yes, I know.

That's why I ran away.

What?

You're not even curious about why I ran away, do you?

You don't even care why I had to act so weird, do you?

What's with you all of a sudden?

You just care about what other people think about you.

That's because it was such an important event...

Every day is important for you only.

What?

Every time I read an article regarding your slump after marriage,

I got so nervous.

I was worried it might be because of me.

I was worried I might've ruined your important career.

And I was worried you might think the same.

So I tiptoed around you every day.

But yesterday,

someone told me...

that I'm also important and I deserve to be happy.

That person pitied me.

So...

from now on, I'm going to be happy.

So what?

Are you saying you're miserable right now?

I'm saying I'm done tiptoeing around you.

You should go now. I need to get some rest.

Honey...

Sorry.

I was out for a walk.

The night breeze was really nice.

But we didn't hear anything.

- Right? - Yes.

Let's go.

Let's talk again next time.

Stop looking at me.

It's embarrassing.

Hey.

You don't need to console me either.

I'm fine.

- Okay. - By the way,

Radish's mom and Peekaboo's mom. You check out tomorrow, right?

This is going to be your last meal at the center.

This is the last time I'll be able to have such a relaxed meal.

The doors to the fiery pit will open for me.

Girls, do you want to have a goodbye party?

We won't be able to meet once we all go home.

Don't say that. We can meet up often.

I'm not sure about that.

We won't even have time to sleep. I doubt we'll be able to meet.

Why don't we gather together after dinner?

Why don't we all meet in Hyun Jin's room?

My room? Why mine?

It'll feel like a retreat. It'll be really fun.

Yes, but why does that need to be in my room?

A retreat? That sounds so fun.

Are we having a pajama party tonight?

"A pajama party"?

Why are we having a pajama party in my room?

What about my husband?

Then we'll all go to Glue Stick's mom's room.

Can't you hear me?

I'll see you guys later, okay? This is so exciting!

Should we buy some snacks?

It's going to be so fun.

(Serenity Postpartum Care Center)

What did you all bring?

It's a retreat, so we should drink.

Roo Da, you still haven't come to your senses.

You can't drink while you're still recovering.

It's a retreat, so we should play games all night.

Let's play "Life", a game that teaches you about life.

Gosh, I already have enough on my mind to learn about life.

How about truth or dare? Or let's share scary stories.

I've always wanted to do this.

I brought a pen and paper so we can write goodbye messages.

Let's drink tonight!

But...

Then why don't we all sit down and watch a movie? A zombie movie.

- Hyun Jin, no way. - I don't want to watch that.

I can't sleep if I watch stuff like that.

We were all wearing the same uniform.

But we had nothing in common.

- My gosh. - Don't do it.

If we didn't meet here as mothers, we never would've met each other.

My dream is to open a tailor-made lingerie store.

I had to put it on hold when I got pregnant.

But I will open it eventually, so you have to come by.

I'll give you a discount.

- You'll actually charge us? - Of course.

Nothing in life...

is free.

Fine. I'll go and pay.

- Come, come. - Before we became moms,

we each had different stories.

One was a businesswoman with many dreams.

I always enjoyed traveling.

I took pictures wherever I went, and ended up...

becoming a travel photographer.

I was home only a few days out of the entire year,

but I'm always home now that I had kids.

It must've felt so suffocating to be here.

But I had a second child.

One was a traveler with vast curiosity.

The paper that I presented recently...

was published in "Advanced Materials".

Advanced... What?

"Advanced Materials".

It's the top physics journal. Don't you know about it?

One was a physicist that the entire world...

- Teach me. - is paying attention to.

I used to be the president of the TVXQ fan club.

- You were? - Yes.

My nickname was "U-know Yunho's Wifey".

No way.

- Come on. - It's true.

- She's the best in all she does. - Right?

Isn't he so cool?

- I actually prefer... - Hello?

Oh, my gosh, it's so loud.

Ra On's mom.

Are the moms gathered in your room?

- Just thinking about... - Yes, they are.

Why are they all there?

We've been calling them to nurse.

The babies are crying because they're hungry.

I'm sorry. We'll be right there.

Oh, no. Our babies are hungry.

Oh, no.

- My gosh. - We'll be right there.

- You're good at it now. - Am I getting a lot?

You're getting a tub full.

You're eating so well.

We all looked like different types of moms,

but we all loved our babies the same.

And the same for me as well.

I had to make a decision for my baby.

Ms. Oh, the meeting with Roseang is at 2pm.

Okay.

Is today your meeting with Roseang?

Yes. It's today.

And I'm going to take a childcare sabbatical.

- A childcare sabbatical? - Yes.

I'm going to take a year off.

I'm contracted to work for only two years.

Would they fire me if I want to take a year off?

Oh, well. If they fire me, they fire me.

But why?

I think being a mom is more important.

I talked to the other moms,

and they all had many dreams and things they wanted to do.

But they gave them up and made sacrifices for their children.

I'm a mom too.

I got Glue Stick. I should learn to give things up.

Glue Stick will be crawling and walking soon.

I want to watch him grow up too.

See you later.

I decided to do the most courageous thing I could possibly do.

Bravely and impressively,

looking as much as possible like a mom.

What?

Roseang wants to collaborate with us on a private label?

You must have made quite an impression on our CEO.

Given Roseang always stressed high-quality goods,

this is our first collaboration.

This project is being spearheaded by our head office.

We have high expectations for it.

I see.

We wonder if you'll be able to proceed quickly.

Yes, of course.

This is huge.

A private label with Roseang?

This is what you've always wanted to do.

A collaboration between Olively and a high-end cosmetics company.

Yes, that's right.

Hello, sir. I'll come up now.

Yes. I'll tell the CEO that I need to take a break...

for my baby.

I'm so worried.

This project will require many business trips...

and will be very time-consuming.

Yes.

So... That's why I was...

So I was thinking,

what if we let Alex run this project?

Pardon? Alex?

Alex has a lot of experience with big-scale projects...

and has been doing well with your projects.

The company has no right to demand you...

to overextend yourself on a big project right after you gave birth.

Sir.

I appreciate the concern, but I'm fine.

Roseang proposed this because they trusted me.

I should do it myself.

Well, we'd appreciate that, but...

Please wait until I return from my maternity leave.

I'll put together a task force and begin right away.

- Okay, then. - Yes, sir.

I'll go now.

I'm still the absolute worst mom to whom her job comes first...

before her baby.

I'm left alone in the caboose in the world of moms...

from which everyone else got out.

Glue Stick's mom.

Is something wrong?

No.

What...

is wrong with me?

I went to work today to say I'll take a childcare sabbatical.

Even if I can't stay with my baby for three years like other moms,

I wanted to be with him for at least a year.

Since that's what a mom should do. Be there for the baby.

- But? - But...

when I got there, I was too tempted by an even bigger project,

and I said I'd do it.

That project will require many late nights and business trips.

I'm such a selfish mom.

The most selfish there is.

Glue Stick's mom.

Moms are inherently selfish.

Because we're human.

But the director said it's best for the baby's emotional development...

if the mom stays with the baby for at least three years.

The director was a working mom too.

But her son grew up to be a great man.

I learned from raising children, that what is the most important...

is...

me.

I have to be happy for my children to become happy.

So,

Hyun Jin, do what you want.

Don't give it up.

Sarang's mom...

Why do you keep coming here? You should watch the kids.

Well...

I got the photos from that interview from the reporter.

She said she was too distracted and didn't realize..

what a predicament you were in.

I was too selfish...

to realize what situation you were in.

I'm sorry.

Because you always say...

you're fine.

Mommy, why don't you eat?

Mommy's fine. Eat up.

Here.

I'm going out. I'll be back before dinner.

Sorry, but I have to go to practice right now.

Okay, it's fine. You should go.

Because if you say you're fine,

I think you are.

I never thought you were the reason for my prolonged slump.

In fact, the longer my slump lasted, I felt ashamed to face...

you and the kids.

I think that made me anxious.

That's why I didn't see you.

If you're tired, say so.

If you don't,

I'll never know.

I had thought he was pretending not to know.

Perhaps we really didn't understand each other.

I said to leave it. I can pack when I get there.

It's okay.

It's weird. I feel like I have more stuff than when I came.

Because Glue Stick got more stuff.

You know, thinking that this is my last night here,

I'm getting nervous.

What about you? Are you all ready?

Don't worry about a thing. I'll make things perfect here.

Okay.

After a tiny human being entered our lives,

many things changed for us.

Roo Da.

Since my father passed away when I was a baby,

I used to wish...

I had a dad, regardless of what kind of a dad he was.

Even if he were a horrible dad,

I wished I had one...

by my side.

That must be why I wanted to meet your dad at least.

I was...

too selfish.

I'm sorry.

To be honest,

I was scared.

My family...

only hurt each other and caused each other sadness.

I was always hurting,

but I couldn't dump them...

because they were my family.

That's why I never wanted to create a family of my own.

But I met you,

and I got Yomi.

Whenever I think about marriage,

I can think only of my mom and how miserable she was.

But I keep...

thinking about marriage.

Because I like you so much,

and I like...

Yomi so much.

Roo Da.

So, let's think seriously about...

getting...

married.

Nothing was going as planned,

and no one knew whether or not we would have happy endings.

Ra On's mom. It is already time for you to leave the center.

This is premium formula and baby food.

Pardon?

(Mountain Goat Baby Food)

But...

you said to make sure I feed him breastmilk.

A mom...

can receive help too.

It's good for him, so make sure to feed it to him.

Thank you.

I've received so much help while I was here.

Thank you.

A good mom...

is not a perfect mom.

It's a mom who is happy along with her child.

Please be happy.

Thank you.

Ra On is ready too.

Honey.

"Mommy. Are we finally going home?"

"I'm going to rely only on you now, Mommy."

Thank you for everything.

Take care.

Bye, Ra On.

Take care of yourselves.

Thank you.

Like that, the three of us were starting a new life.

- Mom. - Hi, son.

Hello.

- Mom. - Hi, son.

- Hello. - Hello.

This is my son.

Oh, my gosh. You look alike.

I have a half-day today, so I'm going on a date with my son.

Good thinking.

Wait here. I'll change and come out.

Okay.

Here. For you.

You didn't have to.

Please wait in my office.

Okay. Thank you.

This way.

Ma'am. Did my son go somewhere?

He went to move his car.

Okay.

He told me...

10 rules to follow about you in that short time.

He did?

Should I recite them?

First.

- "If my mom..." - If my mom sends you...

pictures of flowers or sayings in the morning,

please reply at least once every 2 or 3 messages.

She does that only to people she really likes.

Don't think she's too weird for adding aronia berry powder...

or barley sprout powder to her coffee or tea.

She just enjoys watching programs about eating healthy.

She takes it upon herself to keep our family healthy.

And if my mom makes baby voices now and then,

please just let her be.

Her dream was to be a voice actor,

but she couldn't pursue it because she had to raise me.

And I know my mom may be lacking in ways,

but please be good to her.

I'll get going now.

Okay.

She raised her son very well.

The postpartum care center that people called paradise.

It was a very peculiar place.

A paradise of maternal instincts with strange rules...

that exist nowhere else.

Hello.

A strange dormitory where women with no similarities...

live together.

We left that unique and strange world...

and started our real lives.

Oh, my gosh.

It's my wish to sleep soundly...

for one hour.

Oh, my gosh.

Burp the baby. I have to sleep.

I have to sleep too. I have a tournament.

I have to watch the kids tomorrow. Three of them.

Okay.

- Move. - Okay.

You are such a handsome boy.

Sorry.

Every moment was a first for us,

- and we were clumsy. - Okay.

I'll take Yomi and Woo Seok home with me today.

Mother.

"Mother"?

To be honest, I'm not sure whether or not I'll do well.

This will help.

"The deity could not be everywhere,"

"so he made mothers."

It's an old Jewish saying.

That is how serious and important a mom is to a child...

Oh, my gosh.

Are you telling me to be a deity?

No, that's not it.

I don't want to.

- What? - A mom isn't a deity.

A mom is human too.

Okay, then.

Bye.

- Let's go. - Okay.

I'll call you.

They say the deity could not be everywhere,

and thus, he created mothers.

However, we were not deities.

(Gun Woo)

How have you been, Gun Woo?

Mommy's dream...

is to come see you every day like this,

then once a month,

then once a season,

then...

forget you more and more.

That's my dream.

I'm sorry, Gun Woo,

that forgetting you is my dream.

See you tomorrow.

Our children do not only bring us joy either.

That was Liszt's "Dreams of Love".

This song was composed with love for the woman...

called Carolyne zu Sayn-Wittgenstein.

However, their love wasn't meant to be...

because she was already married.

Liszt, who was in a love that could not be blessed,

gave up on his love...

and converted his love into...

Are you alive?

I'm dying here.

I wish I could get some real sleep.

I think I gave birth to a demon.

Is it normal to poop three times a day?

This isn't a disease, is it?

I miss the center.

See?

The center really is paradise.

That was why we had to be in it together.

Did you put your names down for preschools yet?

(Did you put your names down for preschools yet?)

Preschool? Already?

With good preschools,

you have to put your name down as soon as you're pregnant.

You know Dr. Oh, the child psychiatrist, right?

There's a preschool that Dr. Oh runs personally.

A child psychiatrist?

Tell me where it is.

- Me too. - Me too.

Me too.

Because our changed lives are only starting...

now.

They're the best caffeine-free herbal teas.

Please choose a scent that you'd like.

That's how pregnancy and labor are.

Everyone says it's beautiful and pleasant,

but pregnancy is exhausting, and labor is cruel.

And the recovery process is miserable.

Just trust us and follow our lead.

Can I go back to how I was once I leave the center?

Can I really go back to how I was before?

No, you cannot go back.

Labor was not the end of suffering, but the beginning.

And your life has completely changed.

You will realize that every single day.

However,

we can do it well.

Because I, the staff,

and the other mothers that you'll meet will join you.

Okay, then. Shall we see where you'll be staying?

(Yomi: Kim Tae Yang)

(Sarang: Kim Ji An)

(Glue Stick: Kim Sun)

Did you stop?

What?

What do you mean?

Oh, my gosh.

I can't do this. I'm sorry. Let me start over.

Sarang.

- That's a wrap. - Thank you.

I've lost all my hair.

Sorry. I'm so sorry.

Every sound I heard...

It's just too... It's too...

(Thank you for watching Birthcare Center.)
